Holy Macaroni Batman!!!

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?

Ya on Caitsith it was a mess, mass death - almost lost AC. I died about 5x just in the AC room (atleast I got to see it up close) Its definetly waaaaay to hard, it better get adjusted or my besiedged days are over.

Lakshmi 731 - SquareEnix - 0

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.

All I know is that I've seen Besieged all night long on the FFXI Live Cam.

UPDATE

Lakshmi 732 - SquareEnix - 0

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.

It was weird. Before the Mamool Ja marathon I went through last night, we sent the Troll Mercenaries back home. As soon as the closing cutscene's were over for that Besieged, the Troll Mercenaries were already level 1 again. I thought that was odd.

S-E is trying to get the AC from you eohmer!

That seems to be a display bug. If you wait a little bit, it'll kick back out of the preparing status. 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.

I forgot to check our Victory count after the 2nd Besieged last night (Mamool Ja) before I went to work, so I don't can't tell if it was a display bug or they came back again.

If the three beastmen armies were on a rolling offense like that then holy sheet. @.@

[Skoal]

Odin was rocked by L8 Mamools. I have never seen so many NM's in one place.

[Taskmage]

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 ...

/sh General Zazarg @<pos> 2F vs Medusa, 2, 9, & 13!
/sh Errr {galka} down!

Yeah, Mamools are rediculous now! 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.

[LyonheartLakshmi]

Beseiged is glitched, methinks. On Lakshmi, Trolls have been at level 1 Preparing with 100 forces for the past hour. I was looking forward to doing Besieged too

[tdh]

They were like that at 7AM when I logged out Lyonheart. No idea what that's about. But as soon as Undead Swarm Warp'd, it showed them at Lv.1. After we bum rushed the Reef to rescue Generals, it went back down to zero.
