FFXI makes yahoo news yet again

[Ramor]

Why do these news outlets think PW is harder than AV? Sure pre-nerf PW lasted 18 hours, but it was killable at least. AV lasts about 10 mins and then just wipes you.

it's doable, that's what makes it a challenge.

you could say completing every single game that ever existed in a single sitting could be the toughest challenge, it's impossible of course.

People forget the WoJ was discovered after a 30 hour AV fight. Just never made non-FFXI media news =/

Wasn't most of it just holding AV while they thought of things to do though? I mean PW made news because it was pretty much straight fighting.

KoF bosses on hardest settings without taking damage?

Yea it's true, only about 15 of those hours were fighting. I think no part of the fight was over 6 hours straight.

PW was never difficult. SA faught him for 10 hours before we had to get ready for work, but none of us passed out or anything. The fight wasnt even difficult. it was just the time that got the best of everyone back than.

but i know im 22, and i really havent gotten into old school games that much. but mike tyson punchout made that list? thats one of the few games i remember beating at least twice. its weird how i can beat that game which is deemed one of the harder ones, but i cant fucking beat mario bro's because i was too impatient to learn the patterns lol

Algalon is nothing at all in comparison to old raid bosses..

C'thun, Kel'Thuzad (not this new pussy one), Vashj, Kael'thas, Mu'ru.

Yahoo is retarded.


oh, and I don't mean post-nerf.

[Colenzo]

OMG DOES IT REALLY TAKE 18 HOURS?

[Tricen]

Yogg 0 keepers seems almost impossible ....

forgot about this too. this is probably up there as one of the hardest encounters.. not many have done it yet worldwide even.

C'Thun was hard more because it was possible for the whole thing to go pear-shaped in about 4.23 seconds than anything else.

[Arvin]

Nah, I meant when he was impossible. He was still semi difficult overall but when it was almost unkillable and they had to revamp him a bit. But yeah, the stupid pull was retarded lol.

[S N K]

I'll add a nugget to this. Hardest game I "beat" for the NES as a kid was 3D World Runner. Now mind you I made it to the last area which required stupid godly timing. Made it to the final boss at the end, beat him without getting killed, the screen flashes right after the boss dies and I get this message.

"Please insert Disk 2."

Yeah that was really funny how someone missed putting in Disk 2 on a game cartridge.






















P.S. The game was written by Sqaure. lol

In about 3 seconds, I watched my whole raid group die. They were lined up outside of C'Thun's room, and a few of us had run back to the Brood vendors to turn in tokens and that sort of thing, and I just see about 36 of the 40 members die, and vent just exploded with cries of "what the fuck," and "who was that!?!"

Someone had wandered a little too far in the room, and the beam chained to the entire group. So glad I lived.

thanks crimson cannon for wiping the raid


anyways, to get back to the topic.. I havent played FFXI in a long while but from what I gather AV is still pretty unkillable whereas PW has been killed a few times? They're just judging the difficulty by how long some people took on it?

[Soa]

I remember back in the day I used to play this NES game called Commando, and by default you only got 3 lives. The game was so insanely hard it was damn near impossible to even beat the first level unless you used the infinite lives cheat (or maybe it was infinite continues, can't remember).

[Demosthenes]

They never played F-Zero GX.

Dude, Nethack.

Defeat Algalon the Observer -- World of Warcraft
Any boss that makes us set our alarm clock is evil indeed.

Hope im not the only one that instantly thought of 4am tiamat and wanted this article to go fuck itself.
