Re: Besieged Tips

Besieged tip: if you are experiencing too much lag in one area of Al Zahbi, try moving to a different area.

I've had times where I was in Ulthalam Parade early on during Besieged, and I couldn't even get myself to engage a mob. More recently, I've been trying to spend more of my time around the Chocobo stables or the AH, and lag really hasn't been too much of a problem. I still may not be able to see the other PCs around me, but the mobs and friendly NPCs load quickly enough. So I can effectively find a mob to engage or a General to follow around.

Re: Besieged Tips

Is there any way to target generals when you can't see them? It's really frustrating when you know a general is near and taking a beating but you can't do anything to help them because they never pop into view.

Doesn't work. I try it all the time, even when I'm sure they're right there and I just saw them ten seconds ago. Changing the camera angle sometimes makes them disappear for a while and then they slowly come back. But the target thing doesn't seem to work on the Generals, at least not successfully for me.

Could be a lag thing - and it probably is - but yeah, it sucks. I would do a lot more General curing if I could ever freaking target them.

Re: Besieged Tips

Have you tried the /assist command...if you can see someone near you is fighting the General, that then targets it for you, doesnt lock on unless you write it into a macro, but targets him.

Re: Besieged Tips

The /target command never works with specifically naming an NPC. Otherwise, you could set up your NM-claim macro as...

/target "Leaping Lizzy"
/ja "Provoke" <t>

It don't work

I'm pretty sure /assist will work with an NPC's name. Just don't forget the double quotes. And good luck with the spelling of the General's name.

Re: Besieged Tips

Actually what I was suggesting was if you see a specific person near you that is whaling on the general, quickly type /assist david. This then targets whoever david is whaling on and gives you the target you were looking for.

So, you mean one of the Beastmen generals, as opposed to one of the five Serpent Generals?

If david was whaling on General Zazarg, I'd have to assume he was charmed, and I don't think I'd want to assist him

Mobs seem to load much faster than PCs and other NPCs. I wouldn't be surprised if the game gives priority to loading up mobs, to make sure you aren't getting beaten on by an invisible foe. I don't think I've ever had problems seeing (and targetting) Beastmen NMs in Besieged.

Re: Besieged Tips

The game gives priority to mobs, then party members, then everyone else I think. The members of my party always seem to appear before everyone else.
