This particular Besieged I'm in currently is the longest one ever. I'm beginning to think there was a glitch since the update?
So far, I've taken a shower, made coffee, made sandwiches, played a round of baseball against my friend on his Wii... All while my friend has used her MNK 2 hour TWICE!
Not to mention... All generals have been dead for a little over an hour....
I like Besieged... but I'm officially bored now.
Update!: At 11:17, Mamool Ja Savages have retreated! Wow.... lol.
I really can't believe we STILL won.
So what were some of your longest Besieged like?

Undead Swarm took like 7 hours to get here, and the giant OMGWTFBBQNM Leon thing distracted us, but we still won. Just dropped Trolls in about 40 minutes, and Mamool Ja's are @ Lv.8 knocking on our door. Really wish they would advance faster!
We thought the Undead Swarm would never end, but we dropped the uber-NM and won. We learned from our distraction in the 1st one (lost all our Generals & then rescued them all) and only lost 1 General against Trolls!
S-E's gonna need more than Lv.8 to knock Lakshmi off it's horse! 1900 EXP/IS ain't bad either, especially after spending 10k IS to upgrade my Mog Locker.  [font="Comic Sans MS"]Odude

We used to talk about how Mamool Jas were so easy, well S-E fixed that. 2.5+ hours and we JUST sent them packing. NMs spaw 8 NIN type mobs that like to 2hr and hit anybody in range for 4000 dmg. Giant Hydra marches the main square so nobody can go in it, and WHM mob that spams Cure V, Curaga IV and an AoE that does 400~700dmg every 15 seconds.
Those first few Lv.7s were a pain and then they got easy. I'm wondering if these will ever get easy. For now, Lakshmi's still perfect.  [font="Comic Sans MS"]Odude

At least, that's what happened for us last night with the undead swarm. That may have been a result of our emergency raid on Arrapeggo to get our generals back, quickly wiping through most of the mobs in the zone. | | ::Quote Selected:: | | 06-06-2007, 07:19 AM | #9 (permalink) | | Dr. Tran Brain of Knowledge Join Date: Feb 2006 Location: Los Angeles, Ca.

Yeah, like a third of the beastmen army in level 8s is lesser NMs. At least the trolls had names though. With undead swarm it was like Lamia No.2, Lamia No.3, Lamia No.4, Lamia No.5, Lamia No.6, Lamia No.7, Lamia No.8, Lamia No.9, Lamia No.10, Lamia No.11, ... Lamia No.23. I guess that did make status shouts easier ...

Every time you kill a NM 8 NIN's spawn who spam Mijun, doing 4k damage to anybody in the area. That's why it took us 2.5+ hours to chase them out of town. Didn't help that a Hydra was roaming the main square either, distracting people. That thing has CRAZY high Auto-Regen.  [font="Comic Sans MS"]Odude
