Undead are up to 184, they should be to town in under an hour. 432 people in zone atm.
 
Yeah, I'm not looking forward to this :\
 
Yea. But while this new besieges are ownage for some servers, it has been just a "streak break" on others. lol
 
Not surprising. We had a ton of gimped blm at lv 60 casting freeze for 14 damage.
 
so is it noticeably(as in slightly or moderately) harder than 7 or incredibly harder than lv 7?

Much harder. During Mamool Ja level 8 we lost all 5 generals and had half the zone hold the fort with the 6 or so Ninja Mamool while everyone else took down some NMs bit by bit.

Not surprised we lost a second level 8, but that's how it goes.
 
I guess when it hits level 8, it's no longer reasonable to use it for levelling a lowbie job or for skilling up.

However, there are still a good, what, 24 attacks between reclaiming the candycane and having it get to level 8 again, in which it's fair game to do the above.

Pretty sure that's exactly what SE is trying to get rid of by beefing up Besieged over and over...

Longer. Each army sends 3 or 4 Level 1 attacks before they go up to Level 2.

And still, it could be work the same way from the jump from 7 to 8. We don't know if there is a gap, because we've defended Level 7s for a while before the update.

Minimum Level cap. Not high enough? Boot to Whitegate. Not that hard =/

Mamool Ja 8 sucks. Theres a DRG NM that summons 4 wyverns. And when he summons, he summons all the Wyverns he's missing. I got raped by a triple wyvern summon, with an instant simultaneous breath blast.

My bad, then. I thought it was just the 100-level 1, then the 110-level 1 from each army (once each), and then it moved on to one level higher each time.
 
Yeah, that Nemean Lion owned us this morning :\

It didn't help that every mob went unclaimed once that thing popped...everyone wanted to kill it.

I think we got it to about 25% before they got the canscendence.
 
if you set your hp in whitegate and theres a besieged goin on and you die early, just hp and go back in w/o having to wait 5 min for weakness

And if Al Zahbi's at it's limit and you try to zone back it, it throws you back into Whitegate at a random spot. HPing during a L6+ generally means you don't get back in.
 
However, that would mean that someone else got in, instead. Assuming they're not a lowbie or just in there for skillups (and the Besieged is high enough to warrant not doing either of those), then that means that a dead person has been replaced with a living and unweakened person (who possibly has more temp items). For the sake of winning Besieged and retaining Candescence perks, it's the smarter choice.

For the sake of racking up exp/IS yourself, well, no of course not. But honestly if you were after exp/IS, you'd *easily* get that much exp in less time in a party (or even solo or small group depending on job), and if it were a good party then you'd get that much IS in the same time as well.

Ultimately people's willingness to do what's a smarter option for winning the Besieged, is restricted by their selfish desire to personally walk out of the several hour experience with their shiny 1k-2k exp/IS reward. Never mind that even the crappiest of crap parties get better exp/hr than *that*. :P
 
It's fun going as nin/blm in full HP gear when there's less than a packed zone and we have the galka/lady hume/mithra generals, giant's drink > megalixir > revitalizer > ES (I swear it helps, after doing some with and some without during besieged) > mijin > homepoint > repeat
 
I'm glad they introduced this right along with the starter city warp to Whitegate dudes...I'd bet alot of people (Including myself) have moved their HP's to the cities for far more benefits since they put this in. I love it, and its gonna cut down on lag I'm sure, but if anyone is like me, I usually don't hop in a Besieged unless I'm already in the area and see the "So-and-so is on the move" pop up. Gonna suck to lose the AC more now than ever.
