Not only that, but the majority of us who play the game cannot dedicate our lives to a 3 hour window not including fight. A lot of us are back for the nostalgia purpose and while we get that leveling and doing all the quests/missions again. No one is nostalgic watching youtube/netflix videos waiting for a king to pop.


I do. Force pop HNM on these servers is a horrible idea and makes clocking the time of death almost pointless. To my experience when they are force popped and die it actually resets the entire tod, making a group who force pops exclusively have full control of the time it actually spawns, and if no one is there, guess what? No way to know when its going to be in window. It's perfectly fine being the traditional way, until a way to not reset the tod with the force pop versions comes around. I also refer everyone to my statement i hold true to myself and others, If you dont have time to play an MMO, dont play it.

HNM wouldn't be so bad if the Windows for them actually worked....that's the only bad thing about it here. No windows if you don't like camping then HNM isn't for you and maybe you shouldn't be able to get that said gear. Stuff isn't just handed too you because you want it on your time, that's no fun, and the drama that came with camping was even more fun and excitement lol

You don't understand what a force pop is do you? You trade a rare/ex item for the NQ/HQ king to a ??? in the designated zone and it spawns. These are either found by completing a BCNM/KSNM for the pop or possible during a OWNM(If Nasomi adds it there). The HQ version pop item is typically a low rated drop off the NQ King. After something like 10 mins after the death the ??? re-appears for the next trade. There is no "controlling" the ToD.

I've been there, I've experienced the excitement as well as the heartache from a banning. I am all for windowed spawn times -- but not if servers are going to be unstable and resetting timers.

It's unstable because you have some people who use the OWNM to crash the zone, simple fix to it is removing the OWNM. Hence why Behe is not really messed with lol

The only reason I feel force pops should be enabled for a little while is currently everytime Faf/Nid start to get out like 1-2pm est either the zone crashes, the server goes down or nasomi does a maint, which puts it right back at that time, and there isnt enough population for multiple groups to be contesting stuff around the clock. 3 Days ago was the first time we've seen Faf at night time for NA in 3 months (just about everyone in my LS lives in the USA and works, so none of us are on at noon) we killed it twice since it was in our time, now nasomis power went out and faf is back at 3pm, which its going to stay there for weeks until the server gets reset some time at night instead of morning.

Yes force pops change ToD but the pop items are a low drop rate, like 10% from faf for nid. And 99 KS to do a ksnm99 is pretty steep so there is a limited supply of pop items so one LS wouldnt have full control over for more than a few days (if any ls would even do that.)

Do I have a problem with 21-24 world spawns? No not at all its one thing I miss from modern MMOs, but I do have a problem with it going on 4 months of not having access to content because of crashes/maintenance happening at a time that benefit a certain group of players. Not to mention the 30 min windows dont work here, so I know very few people want to camp against each other when it requires focusing on claiming for 3 hours straight instead of 30 seconds every 30 mins.

Yesterday some friends and I were in the middle of fighting jugner forest OWNM when we all r0, friend /search the zone on an alt and sees 1 other person in Jugner. We get back in game, at the la theine zone line, someone heads close enough to catch knight crabs on widescan(KA was killed much earlier in the day) and sure enough the other person that was in the zone when it crashed starts killing knight crabs. Possible coincidence but highly doubtful, they'd have reset to a zone line or OP with no one to nexus cape to, so they most likely reset to krt zone line. Stuff like this really needs to get handled. Fishing in zones with HNM should be disabled till it's more stable.


Who was this one person?

I don't see how Fafnir window would be open now, but lo and behold, Hideout is there killing. Doesn't surprise me though.

Server came up at like 6am est today I think? So id assume it sat up all day while everyone in NA was asleep/at work unless a LS killed it some time during the morning after the server came up.
