Pandemonium Warden - Round III

[LadyKiKi]

Was reading BG during my lunch and found out that Rukenshin's group has popped PW finally.

Some extracts from his posts:

SOURCE: http://www.bluegartrls.com/forum/showthread.php?t=60265&page=19

Starts on Page 19

Everyone do yourself a huge favor and do not waste a minute more of your fucking time on this NM. Seriously, do not.

19 forms (all with 8 lamps) until you get to the last, the last mob respawns all lamps every 25%. 18 and a half hours to get that far, and we just couldn't go any further. You have to fight tougher versions of Hydra/Khim/Cerb that take hours by themselves, all beastmen kings, all besieged generals, all chariots, besieged mobs, etc.

Not fucking worth it at all.

I'll update with specific details sometime later if people really want to know more, but this is just about the most fucking retarded thing I've ever heard of in a video game.

Followed by assumingly another member of his group:

Summary:
Armored Chariot
Long-Bowed Chariot
Battleclad Chariot
Long-Armed Chariot
Trolls
Mamool
Acrolyth
Galka
Elvaan
Mithra
Hume BLM
Hume RNG
Gurfurlur
Medusa
Gulool Ja Ja
Vampire (Imp Lamps)
Hydra (Dahak Lamps)
Khimaria (Puk Lamps)
Cerberus (Bomb Lamps)
Dverger - after you kill all of the above he will pop with "hatched" lamps - smaller chair dudes.
We killed all of the Lamps and at 75% he popped another 8 and regened to 100%. We attempted again but the lamps were faster this time and we wiped after killing just one.

People were passing out and getting physically ill. We decided to end it before we risked turning into a horrible new story about how video games ruin people's lives.

Fight start time: 3:30pm EST, End time: 9:00am

Fuck you SE.

Also (this sounds evil):

Oh, and the final form of PW didn't just repop his own pets. He popped an additional 8 which all used each astral flow and wiped the entire alliance. They depopped immediately after, leaving us wiped with a regening PW and his original 8 lamps, which spammed t3 aga's and t4 spells, at super fast cast speed. Not quite instantly, but pretty damn close.

Anyone on Quetz close to getting a pop set or has a popset but awaitng use? Maybe this may require a mass server effort perhaps, either way it's becoming quite interesting, this NM...

EDIT: fixed title to Round 3 (I miscounted...)

 

[Tyrath]

This was round 3. Round 2 reached 10 forms.

But ya, this is a very evil fight lol

Move over AV PW's in da house

well its official, we've begged SE so much that thier pushing the limits on insane mob introductions! well, atleast by compairison AV ddont seem so bad^^

 

[Tok]

wow lol, the dev team must be either high alot or they like to see who out there is actually that devoted to this game that they will spend an entire day fighting one NM

it's like they are laughing at us from over there

 

[pchan]

I bet the dev team never tried to kill it

 

[mdkuser]

Hmmm.. They basically put this NM to keep hardcore players busy for the next few years. Well, considering how good the drops are, the NM had to be extremely hard... So basically his loot will be considered not implemented in game just like AV's. Forget about this NM indeed.

What surprises me the most is that the dev team is paid by SE to provide content to the game ; For AV and Pandy they spent probably several month to design something that players can't do. It's not that it's hard, it's just that you can't do it.

 

[Uzor]

wow, just when we thought SE couldn't get any worse XD

 

[Yurirem]

wow, just when we thought SE couldn't get any worse XD

this

I don't have a single witty comment to impart, period. I feel sick just reading about it.

Time to go lie down.

 

[iaredrew]

I almost threw up a little reading about it too. Here's to hoping they nerf the hell out of it come september or at least in the new year.

 

[Sanoske]

ShakenBake is 2/3 on PW pop set(Tinnin refuses to drop his Fang). Looks like we might be holding off on popping this guy... Wth SE.

just wow!!

Maybe this may require a mass server effort perhaps

i was thinking the same thing, either you need a really large LS or it would have to be a server effort, i just wonder if all the ls's on quetz could put aside their differences, to do so. would be nice to give se a big fuck you by beating this

 

[Falsey]

This is the stupidest thing SE has ever made.

 

[Olrox]

Not to mention the biggest problem is greed for a server wide ordeal, some of us inlcuding myself would be willing to help as long as possible... But there are Aceds everywhere.

 

[Falsey]

A friend of mine thinks this: since it repops each form, you should be able to CFH forms until the last and bring multiple people to do it

 

[Mishaela]

I'd hafto agree. And really, it doesn't seem like that tough of a concept - after all, shells have helped each other kill Kirin pops all the time. This seems as though it'd be the same (albeit considerably longer) but seems as though it'd be of great benefit for shells to help one another with this thing.

 

[Tyrath]

For everyone talking about ls cooperation...lol

I think this guy on BG said it best so I'll just quote him

Anything that takes more than a linkshell is a fucking joke. No, this isn't about cooperation, don't try to justify SE being retarded. I'd love to see the drama over what drops when you have 200 people involved though. SE needs to learn that time != difficulty.

 

[charlo]

Been reading alot about these pops.
Just wanted to ask has anyone ever handed in a Sanraku's Recommended Fauna pic.
Because alot of those mobs (Listed forms) are always asked for.

 

[Mishaela]

For everyone talking about ls cooperation...lol

There are multiple issues with this, though. Mainly that many linkshells usually have high 20s / low 30s in people, and not the 64-person (or more, really, it just won't let you equip the LS if that many have it on...) limit that linkshells have.

I'm sure if you had some titanic LS you could do it with just the one LS but the fact is having such a large group would be highly counterproductive in terms of gear obtaining, unless they all did multiple popsets at the same time among higher highly overcomplicated crap.

Two average-sized LSes MIGHT meet the size of a "full" LS, from what I've seen. That being said, two linkshells (or perhaps more, eh) working together to have the manpower proportionate to a "full" LS seems perfectly reasonable, and more so I very much support the idea of LSes working together rather than being at each other's throats over petty crap.

I don't at all support the idea of the inhumane concept of a NM having 20, 30, godknowshowmany forms, but if it can get people to work together more than at least -some- good comes from it. *edit* More likely than not the big culprit here is SE still thinks people have 50+ person LSes for every event and that they XP off of T mobs. This has long since been a major issue, so I wouldn't in the least be surprised if this has at least a little to do with it.

 

[Tyrath]

No, its not gonna get people to work together. Something like this is not a good idea any way you look at it. If you wish to believe that, go for it.


On another note, some lolpictures from bg.
