Siren Hits The Big 300

[Eddie]

I only like it to get IS and keep XP up on my main.

[Minions]

Anyone else love how S-E says they are gonna increase the difficulty more and add more stuff to besieged?

[Not Kuno]

Snarg is right. The NA's don't give a damn. The JPN do and on weekends you can get to see 600+ jpn players protecting it. It's been almost six months and any fun factor has worn off. The only people who are still masterbating over the bonus are the jpn's and the die hards who EXP 50 hours a week.

Really, no one gives a shit about your record. Really.

On Bahamut we lost it during JP time.

Yes, and it makes me want to bludgeon each and every moron who shouts "Yawn" after Besieged. (Especially the squeekers where you have to spam cure generals.)

[Kurp]

I thought this was going to be about the number of people in Dragon's Aery.

[Seebo]

No one likes besieged, I don't think Doomcky likes it anymore either.

He just joined a HNM LS and besieged keeps happening during king times. Shit he even left BD the other day between windows when he heard 4 generals were dead. After the windows he even went out on his own to rescue some of the generals.

Surprised he wasn't kicked.

Maybe people on my server are getting good or something, but I'm finding it a bit easier to defend a besieged. We've held off level 5 Mamools with less than 300 most of the time. Gadalar is near invincible for us and Zazarg a monster. The NPC's tear through shit and we have enough people healing to keep those NPC's alive lol No matter how many we have we will lose mithra/elvaan, harder fights we lose the rng but we almost never lose the final two. Hell when the other 3 die Zazarg and the blm are usually just standing at their starting positions doing nothing...

Only reason we win is because I took my 36pld there and main healed.

No it was like 3am EST.

No it was like 3am EST.

Oh i guess the thread just popped up when NA was waking up, the thread was made in early AM est, right?
I seriously thought bahamut would never lose besieged...

3am EST is still early for JPN prime. Most will still be at work etc.

Gilgamesh we have an anemic 2k on during NA prime and 4k on during JPN. I figure 1k of those are mules or bots or bazaars etc. so really it seems like theres 3x as many JPN time players as NA time. 700 player besieged during NA prime are pretty much impossible anymore as people simple aren't logging into FFXI beyond a couple hours a week to screw with their chocobo and grind some assault points, or camp kings.

Now that's decication to the cause!

Thats just stupidity honestly.

I haven't seen a Besieged on Alexander in weeks. They never happen at normal times.

I used to be the one who rallied everyone to save the taru and the AC when we lost it. Now I have no idea when Besieged even happens, much less what happens afterwards. I use HQ Taru religiously now, so it doesn't matter too much...

I do enjoy the XP/IS though.

I wish they'd program it to never happen between like...1pm est - 9pm est.

It's great for buffer imo, I rarely have to switch, even being suicidal like I am sometimes. But they should increase max exp gain. Like 1500 and people would pack in there, I'd say. Low level jobs wouldn't be able to get the full 1500 in most situations so it'd also encourage people coming as 70+'s...

I prefer Al'Zahbi as a zone over Whitegate by far, so much less lag. Only thing I need there is AH, I don't really mind if any other NPC is taken, heh.

1500 for a level 5 besieged which could last a few hours? No thanks. I'll go get an XP scroll or 3 or do an ENM for more XP than that in less time. Hell most jobs can solo a LOT more than 1500 in an hour just by stepping outside the gates.

A few hours? How fucking bad is your server? They're almost never over an hour for us, usually around 45 minutes.

Besieged is 1000 times more fun than making the same damn tedious long run for Rivernewort, or climbing Parradamo Tor (whatever that mountain in Attohwa Chasm is called) over and over. I'd do more ENMs in general, if getting to them weren't such a crashing bore.

Your mileage may vary, but I like Besieged. It's right outside my mog house door and I can get to work killing stuff instantly without key items, party organizing, and most importantly, without long boring treks through places I've seen a hundred-plus times before. So much pointless travel time, ugh. And on my server a level 5 Besieged rarely lasts longer than 30-40 minutes or so--certainly less time than it takes to, say, get the key item for Totentanz and run up to Boneyard Gully.

[Xfaustx]
