Neo Nyzul Isle (Will FFXI continue? Find out on the next FFXI XP Pack!)

[transmit]

We've used it for 3 runs tonight so far, and we've not had any order floors typically. However its useful for "same time" floors as if you see a "#5" lamp you know how many there are going to be etc.

[noodles355]

We'll update if we actually get an order floor, but like transit says, been nice for same time.
Even if it doesn't work with same order everytime, it'll be worthwhile just because typing 1>4>3>2>5 is lot quicker than names and every second counts!

It works, used it two days ago on 4 or 5 floors.

[Jem]

You can warp around. Just got 97 > 106


Ffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

[noodles355]

FUUUUUUUUUUUCK

Also stop BGing during Nyzul!

[noodles355]

Oh, for the record, apradar and lamp numbering, no other tools.

[Jem]

I was hitting stuff whilst posting omg!

Anyway run details

1 - Spec - Dragons - Puk ITG
8 - Leader - Nokko
14 - Spec enemies - Chariots - Avoid Gears (Ukon WAR Died)

106 - Kill all - Plantoids + Byakko

Timed out with Byakko at 1% because he Perfect Dodged

[Byrthnoth]

I'd re-run the simulation with that, but it would be depressing. Jeeze SE, what are you thinking?

[Jem]

Oh and we had 2mins 45 seconds ish left when we hit 106. So we could have killed the 100 boss if we hit 100.

I think Kurri is the only one who used ApRadar in our group. I think most just used fillmode and modded lamp DATs.

[Sute]

i used nothing but mappy, will edit the dats later

[Taint]

Grats on reaching 100!







and then getting kicked in the nuts by SE.

[grevenilvec75]

SE be trollan.

[Jem]

Oh and forgot to mention. Floor 1 was actually our hardest floor out of the lot. That Imp nearly wiped us since our SCH stays at the rune of transfer. All DD's ported up in red HP (except me but Cata is kinda cheating).

Also, just in case people skip over the full details I post, we actually had a death in that run. Our Ukon WAR died early on floor 14 with a 2 or 3 Chariots still up. They unweakened on floor 33 or 39 iirc.


In all honesty I'm not actually disheartened by it at all. Yeah it's dickish from SE but wasn't unexpected given how original Nyzul worked. I'm actually happier that we proved 100 is possible and we have far from an ideal set-up. And it's not like it was a fluke one-off, it was a possibility on our 80 run too. So 2/4 runs there was the chance to hit 100 and that was with mistakes on our part thrown in there too. If we had known 100% it wrapped around, we'd have had 2x 80 clears out of 4 attemps instead. That's a decent enough ratio for me to warrant doing 7 runs a week at least.

Plus there's the fact that despite what everyone says about this new Nyzul, every person in my group has found our runs fun. Even with the kick in the nuts. We've only done like 7 or 8 runs as a group but my initial feeling is that this is probably my favourite event in game atm.

[Karbuncle]

You are far more positive than i could ever be... If i finally got up to about 100 and over-shot it, My computer wouldn't be here anymore.

You used different tools to help make it possible, fillmode and modded DATs help a lot I'm sure. I think it is fun, but it doesn't seem possible for everyone and that isn't good content.

[Celebrindor]

The glass half full of BG. SE should pay you, because I think I'll be trying the event when I get back to playing on a regular basis because of your running updates.

[Churchill]

People on PS2 can gft anyway, he isn't using anything not available to the rest of the master race

[transmit]

The modified .dats didnt come too much into play as we didnt get an order floor. It was useful to see how many lamps there were on a same time floor, but it wasnt a game changer there.

[Jem]

True we used fillmode and modded DAT's but if you took them away could we still hit F60-80? Yes, we could. As could any competent group. We didn't have an ideal set-up, we hadn't had many runs prior to today (3 or 4 maybe) and we made mistakes during the runs even when we hit 80 and 100+. Hell, the only Nyzul I had done before this event was to be carried to F100 so it's hardly like I was experienced at Nyzul.

The event would be worse if any gimp or retard could hit F80-100. With the way this event is atm, if you are competent and have competent friends then you will hit 60 or 80 on a regular basis. And that is regardless of using fillmode or modded DATs.

I'm pretty certain somewhere down the line SE will make the event easier and F100 gear will be more obtainable.
