I get pretty unlucky with Unions, and I'm not speaking of lots. Having to grab tags first inside tons of lag is bad enough, but add mob AOE, aggro, and ***, and it's a surprise I ever go to the past for anything other than Pink Birds!
In most cases, even trying to get an RR item is deadly.

Forgive me if you thought about this already, but don't you think that, if you aren't even getting Unions, you might as well just get an evaluation as soon as you stop seeing mobs, and move on to the next one? There's no point standing around.

Hell, there are times I'll just follow someone and beat on their mob cause they drag it away from everyone. 2 is much better than 12, that's for sure. In my defense, I do enfeeble and such to make things run smoother... Maybe Stun/Paralyze/Slow are bad to use on Campaign mobs? <.< Leviathan.Draylo said: It should just stop being a solo event and more group oriented. This is a war after all, there shouldn't be instances of people soloing but instead working together! Sure increasing the mob count may do that, then SE would probably increase the NPC count to counter that (not all servers are the same, keep that in mind) which would lag out the battles and probably render PS2 users out of it, very possible 360 users will to. Given that there is still plenty of people using both of those consoles it's not a wise choice on SE's part to do that. Hell I guess PS2 users still can't do Besieged. Which if you can't guess is what they are hopefully trying to prevent. not just mob count, actual HP of the mob. If the mobs all have around 60k HP... think of how much hp that is. We will all get a ton of points if mobs have that much HP, and lets be real they die really quick. Implement some system for people who try to solo mobs 50 years away and you have a fix right there. Just give them more HP. More HP = more hits = mor exp, more dmg taken = more cures = more xp
I've noticed a trend on Gilgamesh for players to wait a long way away from the fort and intercept the mobs before they get anywhere near. It sucks if you arrive, get tags and are standing waiting for the mobs, only to get the "The Divine Sentinels (or whoever) have retreated from the frontlines of battle" message when you haven't hit a damned thing!

yes

Answer is yes & no to that cus campaign has a xp/min cap sometimes if you done a lot of actions ie healing, take dmg do dmg. u could of accumulated more xp. just cus mobs gone don't mean you still not accumulated enough xp already & still earning it. for instant smn cus you get pet dmg your dmg. all dmg taken & if using carby or levvy healing aoe bonus xp. you could possibly work for 5 mins & accumulated enough xp to sit out next 5 mins & still earn the max xp/min that your campaign medal/job level allows you to get.

A lot more than what they currently have.

Yes shay, is a big problem on giglamesh best to stay to the higher zones where local mobs aggro players stops them doing stuff like that. but hope s/e consider changing campaign so if people move too far from op they get a warning & if they don't come back lose tags only way i can see this problem being addressed. This is why I try going where people usually don't go. Crawler's Nest, Garlaige Citadel, Pashhow Marshlands, and the beastmen strongholds. I have noticed this as well, Draylo. It's the reason I'm still a Dawnlight Medal.

Sorry, actually in campaign right now while doing this.

More HP = more hits = mor exp, more dmg taken = more cures = more xp Only the weaker mobs (BRDs for example) Have less, but say for Quadav PLDs then yeah, they have what, 40-50k hitpoints? The hitpoints are pretty much balanced as need be. There is no real fix to this other than maybe opening new zones, and even then once again we have limiations to deal with.

What does balance have to do with their HP. Just give them a huge amount, I am sure they have the ability to do so.

In Karugo Narugo this morning and people were waiting outside the Phosphorous Ward and killing the mobs whilst being aggroed by Rafflesia. They just carried on though. I only found out they were all out there because I was waiting so long at the fort I started to wonder where the mobs were and went searching. lol. I did a /sea of the area and there were 63 players in the zone... in fact all CBs have been that busy today so I just logged out. Leviathan.Draylo said: What does balance have to do with their HP. Just give them a huge amount, I am sure they have the ability to do so. I also noticed it being busy today. Some JPs are fighting away from the forts today, a fairly rare sight in Fenrir from my experiance. Fenrir.Luarania said: Leviathan.Draylo said: What does balance have to do with their HP.

The npc's arent really a issue cause you can pull the mobs just a little out of their range, not far enough where nobody will see you. Also make it so that forts give more xp as well, sometimes I go into fights its just forts there (beastmen strongholds).... If all mobs have a TON more hp, would be like I said, more xp.
Also...  GOODBYE campaign >_>

Just give them a huge amount, I am sure they have the ability to do so. Also I'm betting longer campaign battles means more people joining which means zones getting over crowded and they'll probably still die fast, but also once more to the lag / people unable to play in said zone due to overloading of the zone. Look at your picture, R2500 something. That would kill my 360. Thats the kind of R I get in Besieged and I can barely keep connected during those. You make what I just said happen you'd see R5000's and god knows what would happen then. It's almost conquest time so people are out tryin to get ahold of zones.
I think some NPC's are too strong also. They are too strong in some cases and the numbers that come out there to help fight with all of the other people just makes it too damn hard sometimes for a battle to go more that 5-10 minutes. Which really sucks. SE needs to make some changes to this or it will be hard to come up with the notes to get any of the gear from there when people hit 99.

Bismarck.Bloodbeat said: Sadly yes. :( lol on a side note wasn't paying attention and joined an attack mission and ran to the fort only to realize tags were forgotten... Fenrir.Luarania said: Bismarck.Bloodbeat said: Sadly yes. :( Below 61? That isn't me... 68 DRG... Unless you meant 71 lol Bismarck.Josiahkf said: holy crap bloodbead you still play? Are you the same seraph.bloodbead that I camped VE once with? I was thf/rng and when I slug shotted you ran off to get th2 > < we had some lols that day if not, disregard rambling lol Yeah it's me. Not seen you around in a while. You ok? Bismarck.Bloodbeat said: Fenrir.Luarania said: Bismarck.Bloodbeat said: Sadly yes. :( Ah sorry, no I was going off what was currently being displayed, poor word choice I guess (was 45 RNG) 61 is the offical cap, that and beyond you get 100% You don't average 200 do you by chance ._.? |
