Those lamp glitches usually happen. Once only 5 of us hit the lamp ( It was code) And that was enough to take us up..

[NynJa]

Maybe glitches when two people hit it at the exact same time

so what is the math formula for finding the % each type floor occurs?

Out of about maybe 40 runs at most I have had two where I landed floor 20-40-60 boss in the run and it was all the troll every time. The last run I had I landed 20-40-60-80 bosses. Yay for alex. But, I am nowhere near to that number of runs and I have had 7 bosses in just two runs. Generally always get one of the bosses on a given night out of 3-4 runs.

Also had probably 3-4 free floors too.

boss includes floor 100 and we have never gotten a free floor

[macross]

I got that code bug the other day too. Coincidentaly GMs were about that day as well. We all ran back and rehit the lamp several times, finaly just used our fireflies.

[Damane]

we usually ended every second run on a boss floor (not counting 100), sometimes 2 boss floors.

[Detzu]

I know a non third party tool SP (they don't even have windower) they hit 90-100 pretty much often considering that.
Of course two lamp order floors often leads to a loss, but still.

The biggest thing to Nyzul is communication. I could see a full pt of Xbox users getting a clear a week. Being able to communicate order, code , dead end, single target, embrava timing. Lamp .dats and Fillmore just makes stuff easier. I'm 14/15 and if I had to choose between all six being in Xbox live or .dat swap, I'd chose communication.

Good jumps and non-crappy lamp floors affect your runs more than anything.

Yep, shit is pure luck. Everything else just helps

Seconding this. Since we started using Skype we've been hitting floor 100 with a lot more consistently. Our group doesn't use DAT mods or 3rd party tools either just the usual 2x SCH.

@Alyee: I've been keeping stats on our Nyzuls through a Spreadsheet. Each sheet contains a run, and then I have a dashboard type sheet that compiles it all for calculating stats. (Put some pics in spoiler tags.) If you're interested I can send you the template sheets I use, you'll just need to plug in the Nyzul Data.

Curious about something:

Could a WHm and COR effectively replace 2 SCH's on runs 2 hrs are down? Here's my logic:

WHM follows DDs, keeps Accension'd Regen 4 up and Hastes each DD on a cycle. COR is on lamp duty but puts up Tact roll and Chaos every 5 to 6 minutes. Now of course, this is not as powerful as Embrava but would this setup be possible for a group looking to try out a more loose party configuration?

A SCH would still be better. You can stack Adloquium on top of tact, perpetuance hastes(cast it less frequently), aoe enspells, aoe phalanx, aoe regen V.

[Mercilessturtle]

Better off with a lamp brd doing a march every time you go up rather than a cor. A sch is still more useful than a whm even without embrava, or even an rdm if you can't find a sch.

I know but I was asking if there was anyway a party with this setup could succeed in NNI without a SCH. Can it even be cleared without Embrava consistently????

[Byrthnoth]

No. Embrava is a must. WHM and COR offer a much smaller buff contribution than 2x SCH, take many times longer to apply the buffs, and have to re-apply them more frequently. It's just not practical to use anything but Perp'd Embrava.

[Dotsudoku]

A SCH needs an abysmal amount/quality of equipment to work for Nyzul. There's no reason for a more loose configuration when it takes literally one day to become a functional Embravabot

[Nightfyre]

on runs 2 hrs are down

does not compute

[dasva]

Yeah... just af3+2 hands and spells is enough to be probably more effective then pimped out cor/brd in this case probably. Hell maybe even without gloves

[Toth]

I wonder what they could even change to make the event less demanding on Embrava. Maybe increase floor drops to 15? Less kill all enemy floor probability?
