LMAO! Nothing like seeing hundreds of people getting killed by their own greed because they lack the restraint to wait until the NM's HP bar resets.

If I was a GM I would set up a camp there and roast marshmellows all day laughing at the comical blundering keystone cop players. The poetic irony of this is that players were whining and complaining about how people would kite the mob for hours into "NA" or "JP" timezones, acting like they own the rights to it. Now drama comes full circle as they get what they wanted but maybe not in the manner they wanted it, lol.

Thumbs up to SE.

Yeah, it's really funny until it happens to you, huh.

Simurgh owned +1 because they got claim with a small group, before the gilsellers did. As more people came, Simurgh becamse stronger. In a short time it was hitting for 500-600% more than it was when it was pulled. Eventually the alliance wiped, the HNM went unclaimed, and the STR reset. The gilsellers took it and got the 20m+ boots.

Yeah, that's really fucking funny. :x

We didn't know it would grow that fast. We stalled waiting for more people to show, which was our mistake. We also didn't have a nin tanking until the end of it. Oh well.

All I can say is that you better be ready to fight the NM when it pops. Meaning all members there, present and accounted for. The hillarity of the film doesn't come from the fact that the monster was so powerful... it was funny due to the fact everyone was too greedy to let the HNMs HP bar reset.

You knew that the HNM got powerful over time, you really had no business engaging it until everyone was there and ready to fight it.

It doesn't reset at HP bar. THe second it goes unclaimed it resets. If you're going to be snotty, get your facts straight. I'm sure the video doesn't show the masses waiting to steal it as soon as it goes unclaimed. Since they don't have to deal with the stronger version, it's easy picking.

Nah it was unclaimed several times in the video by different alliances. The HP bar has to reset for its strength to reset. And I wasn't trying to be snotty. If it sounded as such, my appologies.

I wouldnt say its greedy-ness but I would say ppl were not patient enough to get it unclaimed. ppl were still getting aggroed by staring & waiting for its to unclaim. this NM pops once a day... ppl use their time not to waste.. if possible or to get chance to get this nm.. which spawns once a day.. then i wouldnt say its greedy-ness.

ppl were just impatient... honestly.. -_-; after dieing so many times.. still looking @ nm.. trying to get nm... i think it was pretty dumb.

I admit I didn't watch the video, but as soon as our LS lost Sim, the stats reset and the gs killed it easy. It definately didn't regain all its HP. I don't know why this wasn't the case with the one on Fairy.

Apology accepted. Thanks.

OMFG I was logged onto abob at that time(my brothers char)...it was great, the carnage was fantastic. It was too bad that the gilsellers were so damed organized, as soon as they reaized it was impossible to tank with anything that took damage they pulled out 5 ninjas and owned the thing like it was nothing. I hope that was just a fluke or else they will get more HNM's
