Strike #3 for May.

[Kyreth]

SE doesn't care about the BBB because they don't care about anything but sales figures for next quarter. If they had ever cared about the long-term success of this game and of their company in the MMO world, they might have realized that exploiting addicted customers as much as possible while minimizing GM and other CS labor costs is probably NOT the best business model for such a company. I hope they do get sued.

Carry on.

Congratulations. You have proven yourself worthy of joining the Allakhazam community. Go and prosper with your peers.

(Hint: You've described every major MMORPG on the planet, and they don't get sued for what you've described. Moron.)

[Credos]

Noone ever sets themselves up to get made fun of here on BG

SE's horrible rating at the BBB comes from the numerous complaints lodged against them and SE's refusal to settle these claims.

Or maybe it has to do with the fact that SE is a Japanese company and doesn't give a shit about the BBB, a company that deals with American and Canadian businesses. I'm no SE fanboy, a lot of the stuff they have done pisses me off, but to be a swinging dick, talking about lawsuits is just . Tell you what, instead of wasting your money on an attorney for nothing, you can western union it to me.

Read up a lil bud. It was hot air like that self-involved ego stroker said :D Whaddya want me to edit the posts which are already quoted? Who cares, it's been said. Talking to a lawyer for a couple minutes about the idea of such a suit won't cost me a dime, although I'm probably too lazy to do it.

Carry on.

You should do infomercials for the starving little African people that are on late at night. You know, the ones when they say that you can feed them for 67 cents a day, and Suzanne Summers comes on.

Get off the ethical high horse already, stop listening to what your hippie Social Sciences teacher tells you, and realize that corporations as a whole don't give a fuck about you; they want their money. If SE was a bunch of bleeding heart care bear rainbow shitting unicorns, they'd give their games out for free and pay people to play them, not the other way around. How many times have you contacted a Help desk to have the phone answered by someone from Calcutta, who doesn't understand what you are saying, or doesn't help you at all? Do you see people bitching about that on a regular basis? Stop being a crybaby.

People are bound to fall through the cracks when in big business; I'd suggest pulling your head out of yours and realize that at the end of the day, SE is not going to change because of a couple hundred people on a forum.

I have no idea what this topic's about now, or care to read the last 7 or so pages, but based on the opening post and my current pains in leveling:

Tell them to change BST again.

Simple, yet effective way to make BST be like it was and not fucking suck to solo on anymore:

1. BST charms mob.
2. BST brings mob away from spawn location to fight another mob.
3. BST releases mob while delivering killing blow, per usual.
4. Uncharmed mob moves back to its original location how NMs currently do, however it does not aggro anything until back within its spawn area.

WOW I JUST FIXED BST

or at least have the mob regen to full HP before it disapears

nonononono.... no.

Mob disappearing = big problem. Big big problem. That's probably the biggest problem. When the mob disappears it can repop at a different level. That's really not good. At all. No more mob disappearings. Sure, it sounded cool at first to get rid of all that BS like 180530813805 crawlers at the front of nest or people training the shit out of Garliage. But um... yeah, BST solo got screwed hard.

That's still better than what it is now.

Tell them they need to make sky all pops. They fixed Ulli but now the RMT are cockblocking Despot.

What do you people expect.. they got the idea from alla.

I think they should get rid of the whole depopping thing, and just have the monsters not aggro until they get back to the original pop spot, like Genosync stated. And mobs should also *not* depop if the puller loses hate while pulling, that makes no sense.

*recalls the hell of leveling in Aydeewa Subterranean as THF*

[Pergo]

i thought that was wafik's idea?

[Kiro]

SCREAM! SHOUT! LET IT ALL OUT! THESE ARE THE THING I CAN <something> WITHOUT. C'MON~

[bebeci]

Just tell them monsters that despawn should not be rerolled.
It makes sense for an even mob to respawn as an even mob.

Atm, if I mischarm and use Tame, if the mob has moved even 1cm out of its usual area it depops before I can recharm. That's just frickin retarded.

the game just needs more to do

Your LS has no event, you're in no mood to XP/Merit, no BC/KS seals, Ballista's not going on. Shit I sat in Aht Urhgan bored waiting for besieged, /sh drama, or a friend to ask me for help.

The game needs simply something more to it for those dead times

Besides quests you could:

Level an Adventuring Fellow
Raise a Chocobo
Race your Chocobo
Play Chocobo Hot & Cold
Garden
Get some elemental chips and Infinity Cores and play a game of Strange Apparatus Roulette
Skill up a neglected weapon or magic skill
Farm Beastmen and/or Kindred Seals
Kill every Gobbue that you can find outside of the Boyahada Tree for the fun of annoying gil farmers

Just a few ideas to brighten up any rainy day!

And thusly I said "weapon" not "defensive" skill.

[Khamsin]

Don't forget ENMs, Assault, Limbus, Dynamis, and Salvage. Though Dynamis, Limbus, and Salvage usually happens only at scheduled times for most people, you could still do a small group Xarcabard, Apollyon NE coin farming, or a Bhaflau NM run with a single PT. You only need 3 for Assault. ENMs and certain Limbuses you can do solo if there was no one to help you. Hell, you can even do Dynamis solo just for the fun of cockblocking other people.

... eh, gotta fight the right mobs at the level of your skill. It's not as awful as you think/have experienced. Unless you're actually fighting the right mobs, and you're just getting horrible, shitty luck.

So annoying. lol.
