Besieged

[Pasquale]

Last night there was a Troll Besieged. It was the longest Besieged I have ever been to, though I don't get to do them that often. The length and 1k exp reward were both kinda crappy, but I thought the Besieged itself was a blast.

I was in a party full of LS mates (and Nev), with an attached full alliance. I must have cast 'Raise' thirty times. It was awesome.

This was my first Besieged in a while and I still think its one of the most fun things to do ingame. Everywhere you run there is someone who needs to be healed or Raised, so there is never a dull moment. (Except for when you get killed by a huge AOE, only to use Reraise and get killed for a remarkable second time by that same damn AOE.)

I tried doing the whole DD thing, but my Astral Flows usually top out around 35 dmg, so i just stick to healing.

Anyone else around during last night's Troll besieged? Fucking Mothra must have killed me five times.

It's kinda funny... I was in a merit party in Mamook that was only about 10 mins in when the blurb came up that Trolls were attacking Al Zahbi. We were about to wrap up the party when it said the trolls had retreated and we couldn't believe it. Rough one, huh?

I agree with you, I think besieged is a lot of fun when you go with friends. I've skilled up a ton there mage and melee alike, and all the while having a great time. Wait til you fight merrows when the undead come where they strip you naked every 10 seconds! Good times. :biggrin:

lol, I was there Pasq! I was in your alliance..lol. Crappy part was my 360 froze on me mid beseiged, I logged back in and fought for like 10mins before it was over... Only got like 245xp ; ; Stupid lag freezes!!! I missed out on my 1000 ; ;

I was there. You cured me while I was waiting for weakness to wear off at one point. But yeah, that fight took forever. For a long time there were only five mobs left in the zone but people were too damn distracted trying to kill the boss to actually kill the last couple of wamouras or the last remaining bomb and end the thing. Someone must have eventually wised up, though.

maaann that was a long fight! I was thre too and the Llag was incredible.
most of the time i couldnt see anyone moving nor casting even though I still did. It was fun though

I was at that fight, it lasted well over an hour and even though I was everywhere fighting, healing I was suprised to only get 687 exp instead of 1k, tonight was another long one as well, seems like the enemy are getting thicker hides.

I'm wondering if they made some adjustments to besieged during the last couple of updates. It seems like the last few have been alot tougher. I also have been getting less "besieged only items".

I can't even remember the last time we lost to the Beastmen. I think it would be kind of nice if they made it more difficult.

Yay for "And Nev" ;-)

That was a Besieged and a freakin' half... And I only got 880 XP, despite only dying once (I think? Or was it twice)

And my attention waned after about 30-40 minutes because as a level 40 (Didnt have time to change before it), I was more concerned with getting SOME xp than none. But if one turned to me, I got roasted.

But yes, it is a lot more fun in a group than solo.

Everytime a npc gets kidnaped in the last attack (like the warp taru or chocobo stable lass) the items you get are lessened, so if you get hardly any items we had a very rough previous beseiged with lots of prisoners taken.

I can't even remember the last time we lost to the Beastmen. I think it would be kind of nice if they made it more difficult.

Ok I was in one beseiged about four weeks ago where we were fighting at the doorway to the Astral thingy all the generals were dead and beasties were swarming in, somehow we drew a line and held it, I swear I twice saw a enemy make a grab for the artifact it was quite seriously the most intense fight I had been in there and anyone there by me was doing their upmost to knock the enemy back.

The battles are quite tough at times and not always gauged by attendence either, those 700 bodies you see could very well be 300 mules and 200 low levels out for some free exp and havent a hope of even being a distraction in the battle.

Beseiged is still my favourite pastime if I have a hour or so to kill in the game.
