Is it everyone dies because of the event structure or just disorganization?

it's funny, I watch upbeat's group get the crap kicked out of them on my second monitor.

one thing though, if you longed for the old days of 'hard as hell crap' and not being trigger based, you'll dig this

... I have no F'ing Idea how they expect people to beat 7 HNMs though in 30 mins :\

Like I thought, this won't be a great pick up group event. It probably will be made more for linkshells.

I'm sure the event won't be so bad once people get use to it, and I could be wrong and pickups could be done easily *shrug*

I'm tired, going to head to bed. Thank you upbeat for providing the live stream for us.

That was a hoot.... I played in my car!

The NMs will be refined down to a science, but was very fast paced and a lot of fun.

I liked it. I like Abyssea and I'm even ok with Voidwatch, Them both are kinda easymode imo but that's ok. I want legion to be "harder" tho. I don't understand why people were complaining about having to pay to enter Legion (Guess what, you had to pay 500k for dyna and you pay 180K for einherjar still). And I don't get the charmga issue. If anybody ever did Dyna Sandy or some ZNMs, salvage etc etc you know what it is about. It's not a new hard thing... so cmon...

And yes, I watched from upbeat's link, and it was pretty cool, ty for sharing. It needed more organization, sure, they also didn't do crazy bad with 20 people for an area reserved for 36 so hey! that's actually good!

I didn't participate, just watched upbeat's stream, and what I saw could be beaten easily by any good and organized group. before you say it's so hard don't forget that wasn't a real ls, was a group of people who aren't used to fight together and just gathered for feedback!

of course, i didn't see what happens after they kill the 3 first NMs, so i'm not gonna talk about that... assuming it'll get really hard though, which brings my hopes up! this event will rock!

Gotta give the reps credit for the run, they kept things fun.

Yeah, the NMs themselves weren't overly hard, but the small arena coupled with the limited timeframe means this will turn into a zergfest quickly :(

I was in the blue team, we wiped on our first attempt, sorta, it became a bit of a zombie fest. I need to find out where these guys have a whole satchel full of random RR and healing items. Upbeat you rogue.

Anyway the second run went a lot better, I was in the wyrm alliance. We split up our alliance into 3 separate alliances once we entered the lobby to avoid having random alliance hate. It went much smoother, we dragged our respective mobs to assigned corners of the room.

Our wyrm went airborne, so fortunately Camate pro tanked it and held it while the other DDs went and smashed up the turtle and the behemoth.

Behemoth went down first, then turtle, then our BLMs were able to focus on the airborne wyrm to ground it again. Once it was on the ground every one whipped out their weapons, sat on his front feet, and proceeded to make short work of it's last 45%ish HP.

First wave took us 20 minutes. We did not wipe to the 2nd wave, which was the la thiene (a) behemoth, a lacovie looking turtle, and the VNM end boss yilbegan (sp?) as our new wyrm.

We proceeded to pull to the respective corners, Camate held the dragon while we repeated our strategy, we just timed out is all.

I thought it was a lot of fun, to zerg one of these down at the start to save on time, it is possible for 2 handed weapons and dual wielders alike to participate, you also need some healthy back-up and support, 2hrs to double march, or embrava, along with SMN perfect defense, or some variation would be really broad, but can accommodate many different strategies I think. The zerg method will knock out maybe 1 mob at best, you can see from Upbeat's video they were unable to finish off the vampyre.

Nice stuff - few thoughts of mine are


1. Plds "shine" again ?! - be nice to get some feedback from one of the actual plds who attended on details.

2. need to have stuns (order) perhaps for certain moves
also would pld/dnc work perhaps for mob holding + stuns (death)

3. perhaps full zerging (from upbeats chamber) isnt best way to go - but range attack and few DDs at time run in WS run out type deal sub jobs thf drg etc ??? lol (like dark ixion) or have nukers? or a mix to help stay away from charmga etc

PLD seemed to be pretty boss yea, atleast for holding the bossess which, seems to be very necessary.

Also to note, will likely need perfect stuns for the Aht Urhgan wing, atleast in Khimaira's case. The second wave of this wing has an Orthrus and Apademak model.

all I see is COPY AND PASTE on super sized figures all over the place without atma or atmacite. You call this ***new content?. Come on SE atleast design a god damn new battle field with months of time in the making and all you can come up with is recycled field design and pulling out the monster from abys?. This is more disappointed than VW, atleast VW they *** give us new monster design. Even F2P MMO don't bring out the amount of recyle content like FFXI is doing right now.
