They need to just make a standalone game based on Monstrosity. I'd buy it.

[Sechs]

Brought a Mandy to level 25 (unlocked Korrigan at 15), but still no new vorseal.
Any suggestion/idea?

[Prothescar]

Might be unlocking an entire new species.

[Sechs]

hmmmmmm

[Draylo]

Yeah, such a shame they gave up on it. I know it wasn't popular but that was mainly because it was only leveling and no actual content or good rewards (I'm aware of the necklaces but that's not enough.) I would have loved if they let you use them in parties and stuff for things like HTB or REM chapter fights lol.

[Scythiroth]

I'm still hoping they add one final update to it in November, at the very least to finish off the missing families of monsters......but I know this is like 99% not going to happen.

[Tachi]

Just got 8/8 MACC+ MEVA+
For those who know next to nothing about Monstrosity like me :
- Farm 10,000 Infamy points (10% of the xp yield)
- Speak to Aengus and select "Enter Belligenrecy"
- Kill a mob in Buburimu Peninsula or Xarcabard to get 1 more Infamy point and "A newfound puissance courses through your veins" message. NM rank and Vorseal will be unlocked.

[dasva]

Ah you have to become an nm. interesting...

[Kainstryder]

Cool, love how vague he was about that, but it was a clue I guess. Sorry I literally translated it, it said stage 2. He could've just said "Get to NM status" but you know how SE is with their amazing wording.

[Sechs]

I levelled up Mandragora to level 30 unlocking sabotender, and now I have the 8th Macc Vorseal unlocked.

[Tachi]

Hm I know I was still at 7 with mandy lvl 24, I haven't checked the NPC at lvl 30 and I was already lvl 41 when I got the vorseal, maybe it's not related to the unlock of the NM rank then.

[dasva]

Guess my lvling everything to 99 may have eventually paid off lol. Though hard to say since I'm missing so many otherse

[dasva]

Bunch of jp dev posts including some freshly picked. Seems they might reconsider the sky escha nms just randomly popping on you while you cp and some stuff that looks like it's on the NA side. And the freshly picked look like mostly update notes and a promotion for grandmasters registration

[Sechs]

Bout time they acknowledged this.
I'm glad.
Makes me wonder why they made it like that in the first place tbh.
Like the UNM random NMs in Zi'tah didn't teach them anything...

[fantasticdan]

Whats wrong with the NMs the way they are now? Besides the shit drop rate on torques.

Well a few months ago they kind of pitched new escha as not only a new zone with nms and such but also to help relieve the cp/slit farming congestion in zitah. Having over half the mobs randomly spawning things that easily kill you or at the very least kill your chain kind of runs counter to that. Also I think people are long tired of lottoish pop nms for drops they actually want. And then there is all the people who just show up and camp over me in the places I basically never had competition before.

The current pop system is probably half the reason I don't think anyone has done AV2 yet

[fantasticdan]

Pops are the last problem with doing new AV. Any player just trying to solo torques is going end up with 2 AV pops long before going 10/10, and if you're in a pt everyone gets KI from warders.

CP/hr is also shit in escha compared to andoulin zones, so idk why people are worried about chain efficiency there.

[NynJa]

Because its the only place you can farm silt, and you need silt to partake in escha stuff. But as long as you're going to farm silt, you probably still want that xp/cp chain going to try and maximize results.

[fantasticdan]

So kill a warder and go back to farming? Or if you're on your ilvl 109 dragoon that can't handle NMs, just fight aerns/gargoiles/amobeans/shit in zitah(aka the stuff noone is touching on my server because everyone wants torques)? Is there that much competition for non-warder escha trash mobs on your server?

[Sechs]

Fantasticdan I think you're missing the issue.
It's not something so dire or so serious that it breaks the game and makes that part of Ru'aun unplayable.
It's not.
It's something easily overcomable by a small group of players.

This doesn't change the fact that's it's ANNOYING, and even if there's an average pop/hr rate, there's still gonna be that group that gets 5 warders in a row and you with your 2 friends who farm for 3 hours straight without seeing one.
It's like all random things, they're "random", they're not fair.
Some people don't like that and would prefer something a bit more "controllable".
Yes there are the Rare Monsters Vorseals (that you have to reset once every hour, another lovely mechanic of Escha zones...) but while they make things better they don't really change the core of this mechanic.
