One Request[Interview]: Poll

[Fira]

It really makes me sad to see how many people actually chose the 3 kings option. There is more to end-game then the 3 kings. /sigh

What about the people who have never been able to claim an HQ? I think it's a bit harsh that there are many, many LS's across the servers that can kill Nidhogg in 20 minutes that still have 0% chance of claiming it. Then a maintenance happens, NM moves into JP time, and the LS that could kill Nidhogg in 20 minutes (if they could only claim it) is relegated to fighting Tiamat for those ever so coveted Fire Crystals (worse, if Tiamat is dead and they have to settle for Jorm). I think that the game took a serious turn for the worse when it stopped being about the skill/teamwork and started being absolutely 100% about the claim. I'm sure every server has one, most of the time more, LS's that farm Fafhogg for Ridills. It has to sicken you to know that there are LS's that claim Nidhogg and think "FUCK...no chance for Ridill today" (not trying to slam any of the more successful LS's here, but you get the point). Exclusivity is cool....when everyone has a fair shot to win. Coming in first place out of 5 people is gay.

I don't see how making Kings pop sooner is going to solve your claiming problem. Basically what you just said is, people camp for ridill's, and by making HQ's pop faster, that reduces the times ridill will drop, and making them camp even longer.

these are people with very limited imaginations.

No, these are the people that haven't GOTTEN 3 kings yet because they're so overcamped. Good for you if you've claimed them dozens of times, but for us just based on numbers in the zone we have a 1/5 to 1/8 of claiming. Since we don't play 24hr/day that means we're lucky to get 3-4 of each king PER YEAR. We have yet to even have a z.body drop on the claims we have gotten.

[Ricardon]

You're absolutely right about that. I'm just trying to shed some light as to why people might be choosing the 3 kings option. I happen to fall into the category of people that "will never obtain: X" due to lack of claiming possibilities, so I chose the merits option lol ^^;

Edit: reply was to Fira's post, but I'm slow

Then the option you want is other. Adding these HNM/abjuration to ENM/BC. If you can't claim them normally, how are you going to claim them if they pop sooner? You said you can't camp 24/7. So the adding the abjuration to a enm type event is more suited to you.

[Sadler]

how about they make the kings like Limbus.


You can get lucky only twice a week and let Fafnir pop forever so there wont be so many whores just killing fafnir for NQ Body Abju's.

I wish they would. I perfer more scheduled events then the 3 hour camps of gayness.

My suggestion isn't really a HNM Based suggestion. I think they should add the ability to post any job up for the search option reguardless of your current job. For example how many of you have wanted to level your NIN, but would rather farm with your level 75 THF while LFG. Or another example might be that your want to work on your smn skill but want to lfg for blm. i just suggest that they add an option that allows you to post an additional job so that your current job will show up for searches, but also your lower level job would show up for searches at that level. I think this would eliminate some of the boring sitting around in jeuno waiting for parties when you could be doing something far more productive.


One way to solve the camping issues might be to have the jailers etc drop an item that allows an 18 man BC with one of the kings for the same drop chances. something like this might make turnouts for some LS better as well since it would be a gauranteed fight with a king. Of course this item should not be common but some might prefer to farm sea and then get a king pop item rather than spending 3hrs waiting for a potential pop.

Only problem with that is they can't remove things from the game data once they're implemented. Like it or not, Adamantoise and Behemoth are there to stay.

I refuse to believe there is any code that is 100% unalterable by a patch.

They can do pretty much anything with a patch. Add mobs, remove them, change them. Mithra have had their model changed, gods their colour changed, zones have been added, gate crystals added, maps have been altered, mobs pathing, level and spawn changed. Equipment has been renamed with stats and picture changed.

Seemingly the only things they can't do are get rid of that POL peice of garbage I have to click through every time, and make the interface configurable so it isn't the worst interface out of any game I've ever played.

[Razz]

They should remove DRG and RNG, both are pretty garbage now

/runs

[Not Kuno]

If you wanna exp on flies or bats... they own.

They still rock in sea though

-50% Magic damage
+20% Piercing

lol...DRG's actually do really nice damage in sea don't they? It's pretty freaky O.o Friends of mine are DRG-SAM GF/BF team, and the SAM wouldnt shut up about how bad she was owning things there hehe.

EDIT: Oh isn't it totally ironic? -50% magic damage across the board, but we all know what job really owns sea. So, what does -50% damage actually mean for things like JoL? GET MOOOOOORRRREEEE BLMs

Eo'grah ftw!

[rooster]

ok, i think this is good enough... sending the questions to matt now, and this is a Major point in those questions thanks everyone...

All we can do now is hope.

[Sekkite]

Should I be an optimist and expect that we get our questions answered, or a realist expecting that all of our qustions be dodged or be answered with inadequate responses?

I guess I could try the optimist thing one last time.

[edgarfigaro]

if they added abjs to wyrms, that'd be awesome..but then, what if people started MPK'ing over wyrms? /shudder

[Ricardon]

Well, what's worse? SE saying, screw you guys you're a bunch of whiners. Or SE saying, we are going to change everything on the list to be exactly the way you guys want it...the expansion will be coming to stores 12 months from now, we hope the changes are satisfactory!

[rooster]

Questions sent... it's now just a waiting game.

[Posterboy]

Questions? As in all? What was the point of the vote I DEMAND DEMOCRACY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Actually its good that you sent all :D Lets hope for a speedy and good reply
