Missing the AC for a week+ is fairly common on Seraph.

Gilgamesh it's usually gone for 3-5 days. As you say recovering the AC has very little enjoyment to it, so why even log into FFXI when you can play a game thats actually fun instead?

What gets me is how stupid some of the AC penalties are. No sis kebabi? Like... wtf? Taruporter dumps you further away from Jeuno? Again, wtf?

Please listen to yourself and extend that thought process to this forum.

That makes no sense, but since I know you're trying to be an asshole I know what you actually meant to say. Dustin Hoffman won an Oscar for Rainman, people like you make this forum a peice of art.

I don't see how it makes no sense. You said "why log onto FFXI?" and I said to follow that thought process and to also not log into BG forum as well. You can read all you want, just don't post.

Back on topic: We had a crazy afternoon in besieged, Undead warmed us up for Mamools, at the absolute weakest time of day, 3pm est. We did have a 30min intermission, but yeah we actually had about 3 hours of besieged. MVP goes to Zazarg, who never died and basically solo'd the entire Undead Swarm with a ton of curebombing. I can't wait for temp items, level 6 and increased exp. I just hope we never have to deal with two level 6's at that time of day ever again, lol. Besieged should never be allowed to happen from 2pm est to 7pm est, all other times aren't bad at all.

Bad besieged times = pissed off players, SE needs to somehow make better times for it to happen, maybe a few in jp prime time and NA prime time of play. I think come thanksgiving or Christmas time comes around alot of servers gonna lose the candy just cause its a time when alot of people aren't going to be online.

I think even more people play at those times cause no one is working and there are plenty of people that don't enjoy being with their family or don't have families that celebrate such things. No work/school = more people playing.

I love besieged but ifrit can hardly handle level 5 attacks. Level 6 sounds retarded. I spend enough money on tacos and reraise earrings for besieged as is lol. It would be cool if like Brp said they'd add quests and titles revolving around the generals or your performance in besieged, or actually made the generals the heros they're supposed to be instead of jerkoffs who would be better off hiding in whitegate. Even without these I'll still love besieged :x it's too much fun being a paladin.

[Thalion]

Yeah really the generals should be as or close to powerful as their counterparts on the beastmen forces.

As far as merits, it would be great if I could take some of my axe merits and put them into shield when I am on Pld and not lose them.

[Karik]

besieged is alot of fun, this update gonna make it even funner ;} more exp yes plz

[NynJa]

oh yeah, besieged is so fun....

Dear SE,
This is how fast the AC gets taken when the Hall of Binding happens to get breached. It was gone so fast people couldnt even finish making shouts to zerg the Hall of Binding. I'm sorry I could not fraps the mamool parade in the hallway, I was too fucking lagged out by all the mobs in the area. Lv5 is allready enough of a challenge, we dont need a Lv6.

[Tahngarthor]

on Shiva recently we had all the generals down, teh dooes to the hall of binding opened, and mobs floating around within inches of the astral plinth for almost an hour before we finally won. If you keep pulling the mobs out of there (they'll keep wanting to go back inside, you can stave off faliure.

(main reason it was taking so long was it was undead and ppl took forever to kill skeletons that kept refilling their hp to max with their aoe drain)

Yeah, if you keep pulling the mobs out the AC isn't taken that quickly. But if you're small manned, only like 300 people, you really need to spam cure a general or you'll lose lol A general is pretty damn strong really though no, not as strong as mob NM's (but when is anything on 'our' side comparable to mobs strength? Even Prishe as uber as she is isn't nearly as strong as a lot of mobs)

As for other besieged stuff, they really need to make nukes do full damage again, I don't care if blm's try to manaburn shit, go for it. If you're making it harder un-nerf it please.
