[dev1009] New Trigger Conditions for Notorious Monsters

[Alvein]

Fucking lawl. For someone who literally camped those shits for 6 years I couldn't give any more of a damn at this point. That content has been obsolete for far too long boys and girls. D-ring? Lost its novelty. The only purpose I can see in this is a preparation for some sort of lv99 trigger dropping from them as someone already mentioned.

For people who despised the HNM scene and everything that went along with it, this is one of the best changes SE has made to the game so far.

[Jex]

Personally I liked camping kings, I got a lot done between windows. The days when we claimed NH,KB,Aspi,Cerb,Khim DI,SW and Tia were so much fun. Spamming people around the world to cover,hold and claim. There is nothing left in the game that requires multiple flee boots to race to. Players that never got to experience hardcore HNM wouldnt relate but it was much more intense then anything left.

This^^ Nothing in FFXI has given me as much as a rush as race to Khim,Tia,Cerb trying to hold with the least amount of people possible knowing that 1 little fuck up 1 miss shadow one TP move could mean the end of the whole thing. Having mulit. camps open at the same time was the best. I wish I could live the old Volume Vs. Haze days again that shit was fun, but its cool now I can trade shit to a pop and run around large zones with my dick in my hand and /follow on someone while we farm boxes getting TE's to stay in a zone for hours on end capping my already capped merits/exp... SO MUCH FUN!!!!

Players that never got to experience hardcore HNM wouldnt relate but it was much more intense then anything left.

Again this^^

Most of the people who cried for this either:
A. Console players who could not bot
B. Where too shitty to get into a HNM shell
B. Have RL obligations that restrict them from large amounts of play time (I can't play all day like you no life faggot's so lets make shit easy for me so you botters can rot in hell cuz I'm mad)
C. Joined a Failed HNM shell and since they lost claim so much they decided to jump on the anti-bot brigade.

I think the best thing for the HNM situation was Einherjar, If you couldn't bot, Play long enough, or w/e Excuse you could still obtain king gear.

inb4: You're dumb because I'm Anti-HNM and you're not.

I don't understand why people thought this "getting things done between windows" was such a perk. Hey people, you know how to "get things done?" Stop playing MMORPGs!

Because Its like this...

I spend 3 Hours in DA, I only have to run back to PC for window/pop.

I spend 3 hours in Abyssea, I have to be there to proc shit, pop shit, pass shit, conflux, Make sure I'm not getting left beind. I mean yea abyssea makes you get more involved with the game but damn sometimes I like to do other shit like play PS3 games. Look at the thread when the servers where down 90% of the people posted about catching up on games they have not beat. I have not bought a new game in almost 6 months because I know soon as I start to get into it I'll hear ppl on vent telling me to get out to some zone to fucking proc shit.

[Plow]

I do have one complaint about this...

Basically, if you're only after, say 1 of each item, there's a bit of a shitty situation.

Using faf as example...

Let's say you've got an orb yourself, and 2 friends willing to use their orbs for you. You go out, kill wyrm, get one orb.

Now... you have to run to aery, kill faf, and *maybe* get a nid pop... and if it drops nid pop, maybe get a beard.

If you want to use a 2nd orb, back to dais, then back to aery, etc.

Basically they should probably make the 3 kbc drop a pop item that can be used to spawn *any* king. That way we could go down, kill 3 wyrms, and if fafhogg puts out on the first go, we won't be stuck with 2 pops for him that we'd rather use for turtle or behem.


Of course, there's always the possibility that monks are getting trolled to shit and the pop items for the nq will actually be the BB items, making it so that they're 100% from the kbc if that's what you're after lol....

Not likely, but it would be freaking hilarious.

[Zag]

What the fuck? They just went and made D-Ring & Ridill way more accessible, while nerfing BB drop rates?

GG SE, GG.

You start off by fixing what was for years a retarded & broken spawn system (why no fix to Roc or KA btw???) and then fuck it up by lowering chances of getting BB items... because everyone has stacks of KS to blow amirite?

I personally have quite a lot saved up from years of playing but still, this just seems stupid. Especially with the D Rings... wtf.

It never cease to amze me how ppl make stupid posts and don't use their brain.


They nerfed the BB items because it has a chance 33% or higher I would assume of dropping from the ACTUAL KSNM99 battle and then another chance to drop off the HQ mob which will probably be higher then 25% drop.

3% of the population had a chance at D-ring because of

-botters
-ninja lotters and HNM drama
-5% drop rate or lower.
-The damn NM has a 1 week repop timer.

-- you have to claim it, then you have to get the 5% drop. If you don't, you wait 3-8 days to next repop.

They might increase the drop rate on these NMs. And since KB is force popped, you can bring a THF and hold him for maximum TH for your BB items anyway without ppl calling GM trying to steal the mob.

Oh shit, I just realized the poster was malacite...... I just looked like an idiot arguing with a shortbus retard. Damn I feel guilty.

EDIT: Alot of us are attempting to get a d-ring and would gladly give you the BB items anyway. Almost every monk including the bangwagon ones have Black belt by now. Im hoping you can converge kindred crests for kindred seals. and I am NOT hoping that another HQ tier 3 King is not popped after nidhogg,aspid,KB at level 99 for the grand masters black belt +1...... ( I wanna be done with kings).

"Old school FFXI was a good game. I paid SE $12.95 a month do other things around the house for 3 hours."

Seriously, the whole "I miss being able to do things between windows" deal is so retarded.
Just stand in Jeuno and AFK every 30 min and pretend you're waiting for a NM. Same difference.

[arus2001]

By the way, if someone wants to pay me $10 a month, I can call you once every 21-24 hours and hang up after the first ring. If you don't pick up, you lose.

[Alkimi]

20k? christ

I'm just gonna assume he meant 2k.

I was waiting to see how long before someone QQ'ed about Ridills for everyone!

I didn't really do this for kings I usually lurked the Internet for the 30 minutes. I don't know why that was brought up in this thread but the real life shut was done while having to face camp khim cause a bunch of gimps wanted a chance at the mob. Hour of free time to study do homework was nice. But like people have said if you camped hnm hardcore pre Abyssea this is irrelevant if you didn't get the chance to and have the ks this is awesome. The only thing that worries me is if SE keeps this trend up won't have much of a bot market :/

Come on bro Sam red procs sorry double post I don't know how to respond to 2 quotes on tap talk

[Ocara]

Wouldn't that be a damn shame.

[Iremire]

Wouldn't that be a damn shame.

Yeah for some of us it would be a shame.

[Mafai]

That market has been crashed.

[Iremire]

That market has been crashed.

Kaces and I had high hopes for future hnms

[Appie]

and I am NOT hoping that another HQ tier 3 King is not popped after nidhogg,aspid,KB at level 99 for the grand masters black belt +1...... ( I wanna be done with kings).

I always liked the idea of having a solo BC with fights against Maat, Black Belt Taru and Spharai Taru. Give it a time limit of an hour or something so you can fight all 3 in row comfortably and make the difficulty at good level. I never understood the king shit where a monk needs an party/ally (in 75 cap anyway) to "prove his worth" for a black belt, so I'm hoping they won't go that route again either.

[Hanyoko]

I suspect they will allow ks99 orbs to be bought with crests, hopefully at a much lower # required to purchase.
