Anyone actually like world HNMs?

[Turtlesoup]

For me, i cringe every time i here someone say they enjoy salvage/sky/sea/lumbus/assault. That stuff is great, but only because you have the Ground HNMs to accent it. If they take world HNMs out of the game, then the LS competition is gone; the drama (which is actually very entertaining) fades, and all we are left with is a grind fest like WoW. I'm sure nobody wants that.

WoW has World Raid Bosses also... and It's so much more fun that world bosses in FFXI because you can grief the fuck out of people who try to kill them. It brings drama to a whole new level. Is that druid going to Cyclone our tank during Kazzak? Is that Rogue going to surprise sex our healers? Find out on an all new episode of MMODRAMA!

Unless they added in that engaging a World Boss immediately flags the entire raid party as PvP targets, that is only viable on a PvP/RPPvP server. But I agree, it makes for some good popcorn consumption material.

I propose a way to make world HNM's much more funny, drama filled, and satisfying for everyone who doesn't claim.

Make them randomly charm people on their hate list, then watch the hilarity that ensues.

You should ask Zigma this question.

This is the most brilliant thing of all things, ever.

Kuno wins again.

I like fighting them, don't like camping them. I thoroughly enjoy doing the KS99 / Ouryu / Baha v2 , stuff like that, challenging , rewarding and the time you fight it is completely up to you.

Brilliant.

Also, agree with LordWafik post.

Ever ask a botting LS their excuse for their blatant encouragement for botting? I love hearing it everyday, makes me feel all warm inside...

If you're playing on an RP or PVE server you're retarded because PvP is the only thing WoW has going for it.

Oh my God, the win factor is off the charts. That's amazing.

Take a wild guess what I think of worldspawn HNMs.

[Therin]

I like Khim/Cerb/Tiamat, but they need to be harder.

Why can you sleep Tiamat? It's a stupid concept, really.

Why is it that Cerb and Khim spam Ulalalalalalalation/Magma Hoplon/Tenebrous Mist so much at low %? Wouldn't make more sense to have the likelihood of using their deadly TP moves increase as their health decreases? Why don't they have Regen? You can DoT them to death!

I mean, seriously. Back when Tiamat was tough as hell, it was great. But now, any semi-intelligent group of 8-12 people can kill each of these with ease and it sucks.

Yea, this is hilarious.

The only fight I really find fun is Tiamat because we try to kill it as fast as possible with no deaths. Watching the battle synergy is fun. Stuff like Bio/Dia+Corsair shots, other DoT stuff, stuns, bar spells, resistance gear, SA'ing, holding crazy hate and the like really gets my blood pumping. Fighting on the edge is the only way I can tolerate this game anymore. I also like reading about the different strategy people use, and I love hearing when every job in the fight get used to its maximum potential. It really makes it seem more like a team effort than just a straight fight that anyone can win in the long run because a mob doesn't rage.

Oh and Camping sucks.

agreed, im all for making HNMs harder again- +1 for wiping once in a while

Take care what you ask for, hi2u AVirtue. (granted, nobody asked for him to be fixed).

agreed, if absolute virtue is truly unbeatable then it needs to be fixed, unbeatable mobs suck. However, if it just needs to be LOCKED, then its a different story; of course they should at least give hints about what locks the mob.
