But half of the fun of HNMs was sitting around for days on end waiting for them to pop, and then monopolizing them with bots! Having free-spawn HNMs on a 15 minute timer would get rid of half of the "fun" of doing HNMs.

Seriously, fuck free-spawn NMs. That shit needs to never happen again ever.

C'mon now! Getting a text at 4am when you have to be up for class at 6 was AMAZING. Especially when you knew you weren't getting claim against the 50+ other people in that hole.

Yeah, fuck freespawn.

They posted a teaser picture of a player standing outside a Runic Portal. Ooooh, I bet they're re-working Salvage this year! How un-already-announced!

[Guitarman]

Or assaults. They know we loved those much more than salvage.

The concept of Blitzkreig should have been an event onto itself.

[Taint]

you are a horrible person and have bad ideas

While I knew it wouldn't be popular, I miss HNM. I got a lot of RL shit done during those windows and there was always something to do at all hours of the day. (and yes we claimed a lot)

[NynJa]

Or...or...you could have gotten that stuff done regardless without dealing with the stupid freespawn hnm system.

In the same light, If it was force pop, You could go to it, Pop it, and kill it in 10 minutes... Then go do whatever it is for the next 2hours and 50 minutes uninterrupted

[cdgreg]

Oh stop, ffxi addiction > proper time management...Also I am sure all this is planned for the June update, then when it actually rolls around it will all be pushed back other than some minor fixes.

[Eurell]

Most of it was planned for the may update, no? June update is what it got pushed back to.

I could go for more random stuff like the Swarm.

I believe you are correct, at least neo-limbus and the ticket system. I am just overly skeptical by this point that content will be delivered when promised.

[NynJa]

Now imagine that with fell cleave...

[Genosync]

You know... something like the Swarm, or some kind of event that's PvE, as this is how this game is based, with a leaderboard and selectable prizes (even gil, but lol gil. relic currency, metal plates, shit like that too. just not very many at all of those) for higher ranking every day that you can do as often as you want... prizes would go to full registered party, etc, no individual performance rank because that shit is retarded.

Make a bunch of these fights... and wow, maybe we'd have something to do

"hey you wanna go do wyrm BC" = goal is fastest time to kill
"hey you wanna go do swarm" = goal is most points
"hey you wanna go do survival" = goal is live the longest and each monster killed subtracts a set amount of time to make it a little better balanced

there'd be tons of things to do. but knowing SE, they'd implement lockouts on that which would completely defeat the purpose of an enjoyable repeatable activity that has at least minor benefits

to them there are only 2 ways to reward players..
by making them earn shit the extremely hard way, or by giving them useless stuff for free

Abyssea was the usual exeption from that rule ._.

Lol'ing at people who think the Einherjar update will actually happen in June.

New Einherjar Content and Adjustments

Hey everyone,

We wanted to let you know that there are two major updates planned for Einherjar!

Higher Tier Odin's Chamber

Introduction of a new chamber targeting players who are level 99.

To challenge this new chamber the following requirements must be fulfilled:

• Able to enter Odin’s Chamber.
• Obtained the title “Elite Einherjar.”

Adjustments for Accessing Odin's Chamber

• Feathers required to enter Odin’s Chamber will now be purchasable using ampoules.
• Ampoules will not be directly exchanged for the key items, instead a tradable item can be purchased in order to receive a specific chamber’s feather.
• Possession of the key item “Mark of the Einherjar” is required to purchase these special items with ampoules.

So now we can buy feathers with ampuoles (and buy them from other people). Maybe people will farm Tier 3s with me now! Or better yet, maybe I can put up some gil and farm Odin for my last few amps, lol.

I was hopeing for something else, like demolishing the 3 days wait time all together, more battlefields. But all we get is a new odin chamber oO. First guess: New Odin can only be killed with Embrava and PD because otherwise he will rape you hardcore, 2. guess: Zantetsukan will kill you no matter where you are and what you do!

[Celebrindor]

Good lord I hope Odin isn't reduced to something gimmicky.

Odin was one of the coolest BCs when he first came out. Especially before people figured him out. Can only hope you can't just DD zerg him.
