Campaign Mobs: OMG DID YOU HEAR QUADAVS ARE FIXED?

[Judai]

Oddly enough it did update today. On my server it's 5s,3b,5w,5beast. Even with Windursts' full attention on Meriphataud last week, we were unable to take it. Sandy took Jugner and Batallia back but was unable to get EN. Bastok took Grauberg back even while getting pounded on and raped by the omnipotent turtles.

So after reading a day's worth of posts I think I can sum up Priran's arguement

I'm super cereal guys!

[Lucavi]

Its more like "I hate the color blue, republics, and nations that begin with the letter 'B', and all people associated with these three things."

On Alexander 6s 6w 3beast 3bastok. People are still unable to defeat quadavs defending in pashow or rolanberry. Highest attempt I have been at was 64 people. We have managed to take the fort down a bit, but it just fills up when they retreat after 5 minutes the next battle.

[Rocl]

Why would it update today? It didn't update last Sunday.

I think we have a different definition of "updated" because I feel compelled to ask you what the hell you're talking about. It just updated, by the way.

Before today it updated on Monday, I assumed it was going to update every 7 days, and wasn't expecting it to fall into tally considering it didn't last time.

quads attacking Ngusta right now, the very weakest NM came, and i was able to take him down to 70% solo before i got manaburned to the ground.

The only forces were me, and some lvl 20 pup. No npcs at all. I also forgot to change my sub.. i was drg/war from dynamis orz >.> so i might've been able to at least kill the NM had i actually subbed RDM..

from this i observe they send the weaker squads to ngusta, and bring out the big guns to defend passhow and rolanberry.. maybe? will report back later

[Builttolast]

Pashow, CN and Rolanberry only get the tougher high tier Quadavs, which is what makes them so difficult. Grauberg and North Gustaberg can get the easy or difficult mobs, including Kindred attacks. But tend to get more easy than hard.

before bastok took grauberg an nm came and oneshotted everyone with the wrath of ghu'da every single time

These screenshots are a few days old but I've been sorta busy. Finally got a chance to upload them. I'm geared up as RDM/BLU with Cocoon, Tavnazian Tacos, Protect, Phalanx, and -20% damage in every screenshot. No stoneskin so you can see the difference in attack between mobs.

Here's the infamous One-Eyed Gwajboj in Jugner Forest. Orc morale is low(If this affects mob strength), but it's AoE was still hitting other people for around 600. Still, the fact that one person can take him away and solo him while the others work on the rest makes the zone much easier.

Here are a few pics of Vanguard Vhuuds in Rolanberry Fields. I only have -10% damage taken in the second screenshot. I popped Convert and starting casting Cure IV on myself without thinking about pulling hate from multiple Vanguard Vhuuds at once. It takes forever to kill these guys.

These are Divine Assassins in Meriphataud. Morale and resources were maxed for Yagudo at the time. Their defense and evasion is low enough for me to melee them down somewhat quickly. The NM isn't that bad either.

Divine Assasins are weak as shit, try again.

[Mojo]

Yes, they are weak, but isn't that the point of this thread? The fact that there is nothing remotely similar to that in Pashhow or Rolanberry should say something about the differences in difficulty of Campaign.

[Judai]

The point I am making is you are comparing weak Yags to hard Quads, like everyone else. It's like if I was comparing Fafnir to Tiamat. At least try to compare mobs of the same difficulty. Go try to solo the BST Yag AND it's 2 Scorp pets. All three of them hit me for 300+ and I haven't even seen them WS or Wild Rage because everyone is dead in a few seconds.

Divine Assasins are the lower Tier Yags. Let's compare them to the shitty Quads I slaughtered in N.Gusta earlier.

The Secret behind the Quadavs overwhelming power is revealed below.

THEY CAN CLIMB TREES!

Also: Pashow Campaign earlier, 6 of us showed up, no NPC's. Ghi'Dhi Ballbuster or some shit and his body guards.

We're staring at them trying to figure out what to do, and a Ranger tries to shadowbind one.

They bumrush us, we eat a Breakga, and then they beat us all to death horribly and warp away.

Hilarious.

[Koga]

Pashow is always an ass raping for me. Bee ~6 times and hell the mobs alone hit for 300~400.
Fuck Pashow.

[Max™]

Man, those Gnats in your sig gave me a bad flashback.

Had a bastok campaign with them hitting, someone sleepga'D the group, which was great til they died and then ran around loose.

They came up behind me, I didn't even see em coming >.> 6 Gnats+Unsuspecting Taru fanny= not safe for work.

Even more lulz when I was looking for the campaign mobs, saw this elvaan female black mage with her staff out and thought "Oh good, they must be just over the rise."

The Shadowhand casts Stonega III.
The Shadowhand readies Rock Crusher.
Maxaru goes wtf and dies.

I'm comparing similar zones to one another, the Yagudo just happen to be weak. The equivalent of Meriphataud is Pashhow which I don't actually have screenshots of yet, but I can assure you that the mobs there are equally strong as those in Rolanberry. There are strong Yagudo, Divine Inciters + the WHM in Fort Karugo are pretty tough, not as strong as Quadav but still tough. I'll get screenshots of more later. However, the point still stands. Assassin's are often in Meriphataud and are weak as shit, so much that I can win the entire zone by myself. Pashhow on the other hand has mobs that resist sleep and would completely level you if you tried any shenanigans.

[Max™]

Meri yags get biiiitchy sometimes, just sweep, sweep, sweep, furore, sweep, sweep.

That and the scorpion pets and elementals randomly nuking, it can get really ugly out there.

Pashow, saw one that went ok, Maximilian showed up, and I agree now, he is the most badass NPC I've seen to date, fucker never stopped swinging and I swear he soloed one of the Yags it was taking 10 of us to kill, faster than we killed em.

Rolanberry usually we roll in deep and just expect a hardass fight so it turns into a big long battle but we send em running in the end.

Bat Downs...that's just pitiful, they show up, turn purple, and die. Flashbacks of the first Besieged.

[rath]

It's a shame no one nagged SE into nerfing the last event into Bastok's favor, you could've been a contender.

This is BS. If they hadn't posted that mistake and shown bastok first on almost every server, my servers bastokans would not have gone back to doing normal stuff for two days, before SE ninja edits their mistake (with no announcement or notification unless you go to that page). I was at 100 shards the first day, and stopped because we had first almost everywhere. So did everyone in my LS.

As for campaign, bastok is not the only one getting their arses kicked by quadavs. A good half of the 30-60 people usually engaged in pashow/rolanberry are not bastokans. I have never been to any other nations zones, with defending beastmen, with 20+ people and got our asses handed to us. This is common no matter how many people you have when facing any of the higher tier Quadav NMs. It also has nothing to do with their def+, we always have a few blue running around spamming FR and reversing it, it makes 0 difference.

The regular mobs that come with adaman are stronger then any other beastmen NM I have fought. The lowest we have ever gotten rolanberry was about 80/150. This was only through massive attacks on the fort, while a large number of people attempted to keep the quads at bay. The next battle after that, they were back over 100 again because they ran away within 5 minutes.

Except it's not always Assassins in Meriphataud? And it's not always Vhuud Vanguard in Rolanberry. You can't compare them by zones.

[Mojo]

From what I've observed, each zone has a list of different groups of campaign mobs that can appear there while under beastman control(or at least in much greater frequency). I have never witnessed anything weak appearing in Rolanberry or Pashhow.
