Besieged Adjustments 2/20/07

[kuronosan]

My guesses:

Temporary Attack Item (Melees): Increases attack and accuracy of physical attacks.

Temporary Attack Item (Mages): Increases attack and accuracy of magical spells.

[Khamsin]

Besieged is right up there with NPC improvemets, in my opinion. They need to give it some kind of reward. ANY kind of reward. I can get three times the xp burning wamouras for an hour. Maybe have rare items that can be lotted by anyone in the zone that was present for the entire Besieged and is level 75. Give separate Besieged points that can be redeemed for items. SOMETHING.

I'd rather lolHydra right now than go to Besieged.

I'd actually welcome NPC improvements... as long as its not something like "They will now bow to you".

The zoning update was almost a win, they just needed to allow them to zone to more places and raise the cap to 75.

You mean my nukes might hit triple figures now?

Needs Nynja to respond to the guy who burned him over Temp axe.

meh, I grow tired of Nynja's asshole/jackass posts.

I'd be happy to do besieged if it wasn't so fucking laggy. I really wish they would put some (noticeable) effort into fixing that, rather than piling more shit on to only make the problem worse. Changing equips and not seeing my swap like 3 minutes later is pretty retarded.

I think the reason SE created the 1.2K exp cap (when Mega Boss is killed) might be because everyone is going with a low level job and /WHM and cure spamming free exp. 3K may not be much at 75, but its near 50-25% of a level at low levels.

What SE could do it place a cap of exp in accordance to player levels. Level 1-50 1.2K Cap, 51-60 2.2K Cap, 61-70 3.2K Cap, and 71-75 4.2K Cap. That would give incentive to use higher level jobs in Besieged instead of just bringing lowbie ones for quick exp, and make Besieged worthwhile for your time.

Good call, maybe something like tiers if Besieged remains uncapped or just a straight X amount of exp if it's level 50+ only.

It's a pretty awesome idea right there.

No, the zoning update was a win. More places and raising the cap to 75 would be an epic win. Making Fellow ENMs and Assaults would be ultra, fantastic, superb with a cherry on top win.

Quest for Sky/Sea/ToAU access prs. ._.

Besieged is way too laggy to be enjoyable, I'll only bother when extremely bored and I need some buffer. Guess adding another level and making it last longer will make us enjoy it more eh.

That would be off the charts, add that to the suggestions thread or something.

I still <3 my NPC even though I don't use her much. She's one hell of a tank when we farm first floor Promys.

I just hope that they aren't stupid about allowing NPCs in the ToAU areas. It wouldn't be beyond SE to require some sort of quest to give your NPC access to Aht Urhgan, and it be something like collecting items(s) (like the coffer keys or testimonies) that your NPC ninja lots.


Step 1: Allow NPCs in King domains.

Step 2:
You find a behemoth tongue on King Behemoth.
Gauldeval: Oh! That's one of the three items I need to give that guy for Aht Urhgan access!
Gauldeval lots a 998 on the behemoth tongue.

Step 3:
Faursel: Have you brought me my 3 coffer keys, 1 testimony, or 3 black belt items?
Gauldeval: Yes, I have them right here!

(of course you have no say in which items your NPC chooses to collect to get to Aht Urhgan)

Step 4:
Aht Urhgan

I don't know if its really been talked about but i will worry if these new missions seem to drag on and not see anything short of the start of ToAU's conclusion story wise. I mean we won't see a patch after march's until ToAU is over a year old.

I've been tired of them a long time, that's why I wanted to acknowledge the guy making him look stupid.

Are you sure those numbers aren't from landing it on charmed players?

T_T or QQ MOAR PRZ
I've used that axe a whooping total of TWO times.


If thats your qualification of a burn, you've got low standards, or just holding a petty grudge because I burned one of your buddies a while back.

[Sidra]

Is anyone else a little nervous that it is the day of the update and the announcement we get is about a Besieged change that they kind of already anounced? Usually this is the best announcement about the update...
