    Oh where, oh where, did my little dog go?

    Is this happening just on Midgar or is it on all servers? I do Campaign battles only in Jugner_S. For the first month or so, the gnoles attacked with the orcs. For the last two weeks-ish, we've not seen one single wave of gnoles. They were kind of fun to fight, and at least a change from endless orcs. I wish they'd come back!

    And I really hope that AN can go up to a million and not just roll over when you hit 999,999. c.c

    I hope the update brings good new stuff to buy...

    Soloing alpha gnole anders as a DRK/WHM with a super-counterstance was so fun;;

    We get gnoles quite a bit on Caitsith.

    I wish all the zones had an alternative wave of monsters. I haven't seen the demons, gigas, or fomor in ages, they should be able to attack more zones than the few they are able to now. Or SE could add some more groups of region specific monsters, like the Coeurl Congregation or a Wivre Hoard.

    I'm so sick of orcs, I'd even welcome the gnat/dark ele wave instead of them. Groups of normal mobs would rock, too. Maybe, like Besieged, they'll eventually be added.

    Re: Oh where, oh where, did my little dog go?

    All the zones do have alternative waves of monsters, so to speak. There was a discussion about this in another thread but basically every non-northlands army--beastman and allied alike--has 11 units of mobs. 5 units can appear in any zone (the gnoles are one of these units for Orcs), 5 units are specific to a non-city zone, and the 11th unit is just 6 mobs/NPCs without a leader that nobody is really sure what they do. Additionally, if a city is under attack, any of the 5 roaming units for the beastmen can attack it, and any of the 10 roaming and zone-specific units for that nation can defend it. Presumably it will be the reverse for the new beastmen dungeons that are going to be released in the March patch.

    For instance, in Rolanberry, Softstep and Vhuud Vanguards can appear, and that is the only zone they are able to fight in. But it can also be visited by Adamantfist, Hundredfist, Headhunter, Headtaker, Herohunter, their respective units, as well as (I'm nearly positive) by any of the Northlands mobs. Likewise, that is the only zone (aside from Bastok Markets) that Striking Bull will visit, but it can also occasionally see the units for Bartholomous, Maximilian, Ludwig, Elivra, and Kurt.

    What determines which zone a roaming unit chooses to attack is unclear, Northlands included, and I believe it changes more frequently than just conquest updates. If you're really into the gnoles you could probably find which zone they've been visiting and hang there until they stop showing up and start appearing at a different battle.

    I <3 fighting and tanking Adamantfist especially when he does Benediction twice. Good good xp. I live in Rolanberry Fields [s] since Jugnar Forest [s] is too crowded now

    I think it was Striking Bull i saw, but he did like a 2500 Mistral Axe to a quadav there >_>;
    I usually hide in The Eldieme Necroplis beating up walls, i see Alpha Gnole Anders there -ALOT- he just sits in the room to the right of the Fortifactions, to the left is Warchief Vatgit(i think its warchief).
    Sometimes Overlord Bagkodek will show up there, and i'll beat up his minions
    goy 3030exp out of one of the campaign battles there.

    Rolanberry > Jugner atm cause Jugner usually has the un-educated masses sitting there with the 4 troops of NPCs and 3-5 Orcs that come in 1hour increments.
    <3 Rolanberry, and those spoony, innacurate Quadavs.
    Curse no Sneak Attack > Damn Diamond shell

    I have never seem Gnoles before in Campaign Battles.

    Talking about Fomors, I forgotten about them. I haven't see Fomors, Gnats and Shadowhand for a while. Although I have seen Shadowhorn and giants a few times lately.

    Re: Oh where, oh where, did my little dog go?

    Here's an idea... If u wanna see something other then Orcs, try going to another zone. I know, OMGWTF!!!111!! But, there are many other places to battle then the cluster fluff that is Jugner [s]. And... you may not belive me... but you can get MORE xp elsewhere too... omigosh, amirite!

    The northlands mobs show up a lot in Cralwers' Nest [S]. I hate those damn Gnats so much. >_<
