New NMs

[BloodLotus]

I don't think we have to worry, the elitists are the minority. Perfection will just keep posting their nonsense to rile everyone up, but I'm willing to bet that the devs know what's up and will keep the HNM nonsense out. After all, they can already use the leve system for the really challenging NM's if they wanted to.

Leve system for REAL NMs?!?! Like seriously dude, look what the FNMs are like.....and you think that by adding more LEVE NMs it will solve the issue we're talking about in this entire thread?

Let me recap it for you.

Rare Gear [Can I have it?] Not everyone on the server using the same Dodore body bc they farm it more than Spook...

lol thanks for making my point.

Let me guess, you guys use 15 people on FNMs and kite it using dia/bio/poison to kill it while kiting.

Bad guess.

My turn, you want a 36 hour pop with a 24 hour window so you can use your botting program to claim the NM so you can call yourself hardcore.

What are you talking about dude, lol. I want RARE GEAR. Not everyone spamming one NM and in a month everyone is running around the same..

So instead of a timer why not a very (astonishingly, amazingly, absurdly, ridiculously, etc.) difficult nm?

1Hour or 50hour NM pop players would still use fail bot program so get over yourself.

Claim bots didn't even work in XI.

Just because you got outclaimed doesn't mean you cry haxs. It's luck.

Also, being hardcore doesn't mean you know and remember everything in and out about the game.

It's common knowledge dude. They all worked the same way, just admit that you have no idea what you're talking about.

Spawn time/method has nothing to do with the difficulty of the actual NM...these are separate discussions. Faction NMs should be hard, there's no debating that, especially since you can retry for free on a failure they should be very, very, hard.

Another issue is just the plain lack of variety in gear right now at high ranks. With so much overlap in gear usage, everybody runs around in essentially 2 battle sets, a mage set, and a crafter set at the highest ranks. IMO...there is a general lack of variety in just the basic crafted r40-50 gear compared to the variety you get during r20-40. Doing a quick ZAM query - there are 366 items r20-29, 328 items from r30-39, and 40-50 (Even with an extra rank) there are 224 pieces of gear. And that 224 includes the NM gear. There should be well over 300 items 40-50 that can be crafted and rare gear on top of that.
