who else? Sqare-Enix themself , I know, surprise surprise..

story:

We jsut got done doing BCNMK40 "Under Observation" everyting goess super smooth first run.

2nd run somehow RDM got petri and lost hate, main Mob comes and Aoe s and kills me.. NP other nin jsut finish his mob and took mind.. things take a little longer then expected for us to revoer i get raise and stupid me was weak and wanted to stay our of AoE range.. so we WIN!!!

Woots congrats all around pats on the back ect ect..
But on the way to open chest we get BOOTED!
I was like shit!!! didn't even think about time after we already WON!!!

/cry
 
awww.. that sucks... :/ i always fear for that if the fight takes too long
 
see I dont mind if we ran out of time DURING the fight but they should consider stoping the time once the mobs are dead.. thats my only problem with this. we accomplised the tasked but got jacked on the rewards
 
Sorry you didn't get the chest, but that is SE's fault how?
 
Thats why I hit the box asap in any bcnm...it sucks when you get timed out after winning >< I'd rather lose the fight

because the timer should stop when you defeat the last mob. Normaly doesnt come into play, but sometimes it does.
 
Sucky, but you guys knew of the time limit.
Try again...The box was likely filled with manure anyway.

SE can't do that because they have a limited number of copies of each arena per zone. You can see this if you check out the zone DATs. Without a timer, people could finish and sit in the bcnm forever for example, effectively locking down that bcnm until the next server reset. An extension of 1-2 minutes would be nice upon winning linked to the chest spawn, but its old code and SE avoids messing with old code (mog safe size for example). I suspect they don't have the same programming staff...and looking at someone elses code bites.:banghead3: Thus, they just assume time spent running to the box as part of it.
 
I can see that working for KS's and BCs but not ENMs.

and if you have to ask why, you don't deserve to know!

well i can see why they have chest. kill monster to get there buried chest. It part of the entangled final fantasy/role playing theme
 
Also have it if u posion mob u die and mob then dies no one can get the box guess what you did not win the fight u. so the chest is good i think lol but only lost one BCNM what was with whm nin war on PCC with jays seals was funny we won 1 lost 1
 
this kinda happened to me once... was doing Desert Swarm with 6 melee all w/ nin sub. the majority of us got killed by AoE on the last 2 mobs and the nin was the only guy left standing. he got down to like 100 HP and the last mob was at 1%, a few hits would have killed it. the nin 2 hours and kills the mob....so we're sitting their dead staring at the chest...serves as a good reminder to always recast reraise ><;
 
You know i think blazn almost made a good point. If you did die and the mob died but the timer stoped, youd have to HP to get out or be stuck in there forever.

Wow.... <--- is impressed
 
I see everyone brings up some good points, No one wants to stand around and waitn for otehr people to finish BCNMs.

Like someone mention an extended min or 2 would be nice after you killed last mob. I say something like "congratulations you win: you have 60 secs to get your treasure!" that would make me happy

unless the chest is opened the game counts it as a lose and you get spit out on the losing side...i think (even if all the mobs are dead)
