Devs Want Behest Feedback

[Teknoman]

Well the enemies that spawn at the end of behests are usually larger than normal...but if we cant have beast tribe enemy bosses that lead stray monsters to cause havoc around the place, at least make the last behest enemy once of the more menacing monsters with a larger size:

Ahriman
Drake
Boar
Gobbue
Salamander
Diremite (horned scorpion class)
Malboro

As for monster variation, I agree. We should be seeing non-native enemies to the region invading, especially if behest is to knock out hordes of enemies causing more trouble than usual. Should be encountering things like flan,antlings,diremites (i just like their design lol), Piestes, etc.

Gobbues, Diremites, and Marboros are already quite big (ive seen Banemites and they are quite large and do alot of damage) But I totally agree with you, the end mobs should be larger and stronger.

I'm not sure if the SP reward is the only thing that's gonna be added to 1.18 behest. I hope not. I'm kinda bummed that there isn't any present solution to the boring "boss" at the end of behest. I mean, really, is it that hard just to program the existing last boss to spawn a huge beastman along with some minions? That should take only like, an afternoon to implement and a week or so to test.

As for monster variation, why is still just in the planning phase? I mean, is it really that hard to change the monster spawn table for each behest? This should have been fixed 6 months ago. Why is this taking so long? lol.

I can think of a hundred more important issues to deal with from the top of my head.

But, ah yes. They have infinite manpower and infinite resources, so they can work on everything simultaneously and finish it all in an afternoon. Prioritizing is for those fools who are chained by petty details like reality.

Thanks for the translation, anyhow.

Make Behest reward "nation" points.
Instead of a stupid small amount of gil we are currently getting we should be rewarded some kind of nation points that could be spent in various ways. This way instead of gear dropping in Behest and random people fighting it out for it we could be spending those points to buy gear, teleport scrolls, raise scrolls, potions, etc. Tons of possibilities here.
I had an idea where there could be some unique bosses for each major Behest area or even one per nation and you could use a certain amount of nation points to gain an access to an "advanced battlefield" in which you could have a rematch against the boss with a group of friends.

This idea sounds pretty awesome to me. ^^

Indeed. It can't be that hard for the programmers to delete the Chitinous Coblyn "Boss" and replace it with some Diremites and Peistes, can it?

Auto-group everyone who accepts the behest into a party.
Too much time is wasted by people having to form their own party in a behest.

Please! I don't enjoy being ignored, and refused an invite to behest party just because I'm an English player playing at Japanese prime time.

They won't invite you because you speak english? In every behest I've joined weather it be mainly JP or english they invite everyone who is in behest. What server are you on that they won't invite you?

I asked in both English and auto-translate for a behest invite. I believe some of the Japanese players found it rude that I wasn't invited because they didn't engage the monsters once the behest started.

This happened on Cornelia a few days ago at around 4am EST, but I don't remember the names of the players sadly. I would have ignored it until I found this thread asking for behest feedback.

make it more like campaign battles, harder, way more mobs and waves. and just like all grind the mobs are zerg easy, needs to be working more like ffxi, more dynamic battles. lots of debuffs, enfeebs and buffs from mobs and players needed.

make it easier to go and join for people who are in party regular grinding like presign ups that give u an auto tele to the camp so u can grind and jump right to it maybe.

they boring at moment, i not done them in 6months. also just like campaign battles even though they were very fun compaired to behest, it was still not very full of players. needs more sp or equal sp to regular grinding and leves. or liek others mention, give a reward that can't be gotten by anything else but behest. but again then behest needs to be more fun or it will just be like a dude with a gun to u'r head.

More, bigger, stronger, faster, more rewards less down time. I want to feel like i am going to a mini war for 15 minutes not a walk in down town LA
