Limbus 2025
I'm asking for my own confirmation bias, as I spent 30 seconds "seeing" the NMs once, and should now never have any reason to venture down to that basement ever again, if the reward is just progress bar.

The "reward" is the same as other Limbus NMs - upgrades to the chests I understand the black upgraded chest is improved for climbs across the server. I was wondering if there was any benefit to even wasting (my) time fighting these if all you get for the immediate benefit is progress. Did they learn their lesson or did they triple down (of course they didn't/did).
Would have been nice if the NMs just dropped personals (huge units, matter, mats etc), as the individual incentive is too low to bother, especially for solo/weaker players. There's really no benefit to individual players even going out there to fight any of these mobs, you'll get mopped solo and only have access to 3 trusts. Another iteration the majority will ignore.

Unique Data for extra chests is about all I can think of. My Unique Data didn't go up after I fought them.
Were you in a pt / alliance or solo?
Your data probably went up one pixel, similar to Sechs when he tanked solo with trusts and his data didnt move. If you were in a group and it didnt move, I'd be more concerned about it being bugged and not working.

You only get data for the damage you (and your alliance) do. You probably didn't do a significant amount of damage solo.
Working as intended. Join an alliance next time, it's an MMO. Asura.Suteru said: » Solo Just to confirm, maintenance wont reset your flag that you picked up code for the week. Not sure if this was known or not.

Yep, still had mine after update. Good to know :)
Do we know if codes carry over to the next week? And can you then get a new code the following week, if you've already pop'd a chest with the previous weeks' code?
Yes you can carry a code over and use two codes in the same week.
Aylee515 said: » i'm a bit confused by how the AA pop, it says "monsters will appear after a set period of time has elapsed upon defeating all of the Phase 2 notorious monsters" so this is randomly after Wave 2? so potentially before Omega/ultima? It's flat 15 Mins after the w3 boss dies.  Edit: That timer is a running timer too, it reports every 5 min's how long it is until spawn, It is not tied to JP midnight. (Our Ultima died 4 mins before) Wait, when did Negan reroll as a JP player?!
The proof is flimsy at best, but I may have reason to believe the ITG in Apollyon isnt 100% drop rate.
My autochecker is designed to /c every mob it encounters, add its ID to an array so it doesnt get checked again until the array is cleared, then stop if it finds the ITG. I just popped it off a mob on my second passthrough and it didnt report finding the ITG target. Either the addon failed (which would be the first time in months, but I dont get to use it all that often in Apollyon since the ??? is usually up there anyways) or someone else in the area killed another ITG, the ??? didnt spawn for them, and a mob I checked on my first pass became the ITG. Its very possible there was addon failure though, since theres a lot of hectic kiting in Apollyon. I found something interesting just now which is that the Apollyon ??? on my server which was reported slightly more than 72 hours ago did indeed disappear - but it's also still there. Just not visible.
I've been working on a Limbus addon for myself to check enemies and alert me when an ITG or ??? is nearby and I wanted to take it for a test drive tonight as I knew the ??? was about to despawn assuming the 72 hour window was correct. It's not visible any more but when I run through the floor it was previously on I still receive 0x00E packet updates for it and my addon successfully points me to the same spot where it just was. I assume this is probably working as intended and it's just to provide a 'cooldown' for when it can spawn again. Something like visible for 72h, invisible for X and then truly despawns to permit new ITGs or something like that. I did run through all the other floors and didn't find an ITG although that could be my addon as well. This is standard game behavior. All entities in zone are still there, dead ones just have a flag that tells the client to not display anything. When a mob respawns, it "teleports" from where it was last killed to the new alive location. Same goes for stuff like this ??? and similar.
You can see it in some battlefields if you cleave fast enough and your connection is bad - the ones like The Swarm where the gimmick is "we respawn real fast" the corpses will actually move before they fade out.
Somehow I think I knew that but I didn't make the connection lol. Or rather I for some reason expected what is essentially a 'lottery NM' to operate differently.
Also this morning the ??? in Apollyon spawned anew. So either I missed the ITG and maybe there's no cooldown or there is a cooldown and it's not more than a few hours, <12 certainly based on this case.

Does anyone have links to the 2 new BGMs? I'm having trouble finding them hosted anywhere

Finally got my own ITG scanner online and tested successfully today in Temenos. I killed 5 ITG (no ??? of course) but observed one interesting thing. The first 3 I pulled the mob and killed it on its own. The 4th one was a sahagin and I accidentally pulled a second sahagin with it. Lo and behold when I killed the ITG it passed immediately to the other sahagin that was attacking me. Certainly could be just dumb luck but I also wonder if there's someway to manipulate it by having another enemy attacking you or nearby or of the same race or something.

My 90 minutes/day of gameplay: Limbus is fun when NMs are up, besides that, well it’s boring. 2 armor done, 1 started, 2 acc done, everything on hold til next black chest goes live, 13/17 matter on hands, 4/8 data in the other. 600/500k unit, price of stuff are garbage now, nothing selling on top so NPCing most stuff. So there it is, probably same everywhere for whoever has put some decent work into it.
About five hours of grind once a week, then I pretend it doesn't exist for the rest of the week. Two accessories R30, one piece of gear R30, one piece of gear R27. I've missed a few weeks and didn't participate in the content for the first month or so, so zero Matters hoarded. Have more Units than I will ever need. I have never fought a Central NM, I have fought one or two mannequin NMs. Aside from Shards, drops are now basically worthless, which is good because it means Cursed armors are cheap. It is the only endgame content I do anymore, aside from the occasional Ambuscade shout.
