New NMs

[Naylia]

No one said my way was the best, but to ignore it and bash people for saying it works doesn't make sense either. It does work, and it is NOT the only way to go about it. However, this does not mean it should not be in the game. Period.

I have not bashed a single person in this thread. All I've said is that I find the particular proposed game mechanic boring and that I'd prefer to see more interesting alternatives for rare loot pursued with limited dev resources.

Limited? Really?

You can't even claim a mob if the party leader is in another zone. That idea is fine but in the state the game is not a lot of changes would have to happen to even do that.

"Standing in a circle" is easier to do. And it doesn't "bar anyone from content".

I'd rather they focus their time on other issues (like the claim issue noted above). Pushing for the implementation of game mechanics from 2k3 is a waste of dev time/resources. And yes...popping monsters on a clock is should be easy to implement, but any NM that is put on a 24hr pop clock is a waste of creative talent that should have been building more interesting content around the NM. That's the real waste.

Not winning claim is better than having claim and wiping over and over again, which I'm sure is exactly what well see from you and your LS very soon (Thursday after 8 person capped parties).

Brunt of the joke because you don't agree? You're the brunt of the joke because you're part of a fail species that can't do anything without 15 people.

LOL come off it all these Nm's are easy to down with 8 people, you act like it actually takes skill to down them it just requires enough healing and DD to get the job done before it enrages.

If you want your rare items - I'll gladly take a HNM that spawns once a week and randomly attacks an area. Either there are some people close by who can man up and kill it, or everyone wipes...so sad. Lower the drop rate to 1% and by the end of a year we might have one or two of the item floating around the world. And if "hardcore" folks want something to do, you can spend your time hunting these.

There are lots of ways to create rare items that don't involve sitting in a circle waiting on a pop. This might have been exciting when the functionality and capability at a dev teams control were more limited.

Limited? Really?

The 5 of you keep saying "There's no logical reason NOT to put in 24 Hour pop NMs" is lawl. I have the most logical reason you could EVER ask for. Ready? Lets see if you can follow:

NO ONE WANTS IT OUTSIDE OF YOU 5.

tl;dr OP and some others are losers in real life, and wish the situation could be reversed in game.
