Whos doing the interview?

[BRP]

People bot 3-7 Days NMs?

(all 4 HNMs listed for each of the 3 kings were 3-7 Days HNM)

And, why not burn some KSNM99 or do some ENMs for the orb?

[JoOeetheplatypuS]

Yes lol

[Not Kuno]

Even if it was 3-7 days, only one ls is getting it 3-7 days. Having a system where anyone can get it is more fair, I don't know how you can not see that.

[Ddong]

Also it's not too hard to have the same LS claim multiple NMs that have 3-7 day timers.

Example Tiamat, on most servers Tiamat is being fought/held within 10-15min of it spawning.

[Lordender]

this game biggest problem as of now is RMT, if they all got banned the game would be so much better ;x

Depends on your server and what you key on. Aside from Carbuncle and Asura, HNM issues are botting. Sky problems are RMT.

Adamantoise Orb
Quadav King - 100%
*new* Antica King - 100%
New HNM - 50%
Xolotl - 50% (now has more health, summons more and no limit of number of summons, 3-7 day timer, 1 new drop, higher drop rates)
KSNM99 - 30%*
Certain BCNMs and ENMs - 10%*
Other Quests(Garrison? Unwelcomed Guest?) - 5%*
Metal Chip Limbus - 100%*

Both Metal Chip Limbus reward 1 Orb 100%, randomly chosen.

*=non-camping things

A LS with 30 active members, 1 week of activity.

1 Metal Chip Limbus, they get a random chip 100%(maybe even twice) 100%
They do 3-4 KSNM99(maybe even 5-8), 30% each. 3-4 * 30%
They do 5 six man ENMs for 10% each. 5 * 10
Garrison, and such wouldn't be reliable, but its not hard to imagine LS members earning orbs for their LS while doing these things, LS event or not.

Now...

4 x 3 HNMs. 12 HNMs. That pop in 3-7 Day Timers. Now, you add in Wyrms(who in this system, now have the best loot in the game, along with being harder), Cerberus , and Hydra(both with improved loot, or better said, better recipes and results, also being harder). Limbus(maybe evening an orb with the 75-coin chip). Dynamis. Free-time(people like to craft and stuff).

Thats 17 3-7 Day Timer HNMs, Limbus, Dynamis, and general free time(not to forget earning the orbs in the non-camping ways). Most LSes still do Sky. And Sea(though not mentioned, would probably be improved as well) If one LS can monopolize all that, then the server fucking blows, sorry. I know this wouldn't be the case. The biggest risk would be RMT, which is understandable. However, even they wouldn't be able to completely control all the pops. They can't control Sky, simply an annoyance.

Mind you, without massive pos.haxing some of these HNMs will not be easy to get to. RotZ Beastmen Kings would be big targets as they are 100% drop rate like the original Beastmen Kings. However, the Antican king wouldn't be easy to get to at all. I mentioned the idea of HNMs at the bottom of Pso'Xja zones... most lootwhores have never visited some of the uncapped towers, let alone know how to climb to the bottom.

[Sylvrdragon]

People have been complaining to put Abj into corisponding KS99s since they came out... why not continue along that line and make that KS99 like a 50% drop rate on NQ orb. This makes the 3-Kings into a 4 step process from 0-Ridill(or whatever). Farm up 99 seals, Fight the KS99, Fight the NQ (maybe make the HQ a 50% drop rate or something), then fight the HQ. Don't know about the cooldown timer, but this would give you a 25% chance to fight an HQ for every 99 KS seals you put up.

[Miji]

I really dont know why people even complain about a 7 day Limit.
It is BETTER then beeing not able to get Claim.
It is BETTER to organise those Fights an get people to come.
It is BETTER then make it 3 or 5 days and see everyone after 6 months
in Koenig/Crimson/Adaman/Ridill.

I agree with this completely. The above list also does not compensate when it creeps into JP time, which could very well take you out of even having a chance to claim for weeks at a time. Though it would be nice to let the drop rates dictate the limit, so a LS could potentially horde up orbs and spawn them all in an evening. Ouryu works this way, and I don't see a problem with how often everybody gets to fight him.

[Gasgul]

God now I want to play starcraft.

i bought this last night,

Why I prefer 30% over 50% would be because making KS99s too attractive could motivate people from not experiecing KS30 content. KS30(certain ones) give 10%, so you save 9 seals by doing 3 of them instead of one KS99, but KS99 makes you rich and 30% once is just nicer than 10% three times.

[bercus]

Ok I have started to write the Interview, done with 4 Questions already....
be patient guys

[aurik]

godspeed

[bercus]

7 questions done......

[aurik]

32 questions total?

[bercus]

32 questions total?

I couldnt ask all, many questions are LONG, right now 2 long ones in those 7. The real long ones comming. Anyway... what does "reveal" mean...

"I think you already know that Aht Urgan is not fully revealed"

does this word reveal make any sense there? Cause I cant understand it exactly lol... but iam sure he meant something like, not perfect yet or so.

SUBMIT BUTTTTOON I FLIP OUT

......

[aurik]

No, he means that they have not finished adding all of the content of Aht Uhrgan.

Um...

Easiest way to consider this, imagine you gave an interview with Sage Sundi in November 2004, asking "why is there no sky v2.0 in CoP", he would answer, "Promathia is not yet revealed", indicating that there are still more areas and more monsters to add.

[Eaglestrike]

He means that there is still more left in ToAU so they might address some of these things soon.

Edit: Beaten, damn you Aurik -.-;

[bercus]

THanks guys... finally I know what it means hahaha....
and I understood again the right word >.<

Question 8 is done now.

Now to the hard questions, and then to the Main Interview >.<
My fingers hurt and its stressfull to Alt Tab everytime someone comes in and tell em why i have Headsets on :D....

(HONESTLY I FLIP OUT SOON CAUSE OF THIS SUBMIT BUTTON)...
gfdlgdsfghgffghhgfhhgfhd

[aurik]

Your point that long questions are BAD is a very good one.

Once you're finished I'll add my comments on the questions you asked; I have a bit of experience in a related industry that might help shape better questions for next time.
