18 hour fight does not mean "the same person must stand there fighting for 18 hours".

Heck, with as bizarre as SE gets, it might not even mean 18 uninterrupted hours.

Think everyone in the shell's gonna get their loot?

hi, welcome to every form of end game ever. I see you've already uncovered the root cause of most drama!

My perspective: I don't want to be told how to win a fight. I don't want S-E to come say "And the secret is!" [See 'bbq's above post]

That said, there's a line that must be drawn. As TM detailed, they created artificial difficulty by making the fight silly in its estimated length.

I don't give a shit how hard a battle is, in this instance. You cannot put that "please remember your family, your friends, your school or your work" message before logging in to fight an 18 hour fight.

Really, had they out and said 2 years ago "The fight is estimated to take 18 hours", we wouldn't be begging for hints on how to kill him nor would they be making videos showing how full of fail their development cycle was.

No one would care. We wouldn't have this conversation because even the people who want the challenge of fighting for 18 hours would be saying "18 hours to get one LS leader's Ninurta's sash just isn't worth this BS." You really think an LS would do this every weekend? Think everyone in the shell's gonna get their loot?

This mob would not be good for an LS's health.

Re: 2008 Premier Site Summit . . . OR, Why Has Not Anybody Made a Thread On This Yet?

my second paragraph mentions AV, the first one does not,

Which is completely irrelevant.

No apparently you did not,

I gave a pretty obvious example. Making vague threats that aren't even relevant to what's said only reinforce my point.

Unchecked bitterness.

Keep it civil. If nothing else, you're only hurting your side of the argument.

Wow this thread got confusing as fuck in a hurry. And now I want tacos.

Advice: don't waste your time reading Feba's arguments, he's always right, the endings to his scenes are always the same.

What is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? Or perhaps we should all charge AV with herrings in hand.

I don't think they should tell you how to beat that thing, like I said I think it was dumb of them to even release that video. That's strategy, not technical information.

I don't think anyone is asking for a straight up, full fledge strategy for killing this guy, they just want to know the trick to it

Asking for the "trick to it" is asking how to beat it. You're basically asking where the Glass Jaw is here, the lynchpin, the Achillis' Heel.

The way this thing started was TM disagreeing with me...*snip*...Those are all the weird and unusual things about this thread.

...you are putting WAY too much thought into this.

How in the hell is a strategy to defeat one of the hardest monsters in the game, and arguably any game ever, "basic information on [FFXI]"? Saying that SE shouldn't give this one away and saying that they shouldn't discuss any of the behind-the-scenes stuff of FFXI are pretty damned different.

I don't think anyone is asking for a straight up, full fledge strategy for killing this guy, they just want to know the trick to it. Odin is still a monster of a fight, with far more people and SE had no problem revealing his trick. No one bitched and moaned about making him "easier" because he's still far from it and people still wipe to him every day.

Even without his Gimmick, AV will still be one of the strongest mobs in game, if not the strongest (still rests on how tough PW stays). But after over 3 years of being in the game, no one has come close to beating him fairly? That's not a challenge, that's absurd. People have spent hours fighting him, days even, explaining that stupid little video won't suddenly let people burn him in minutes like Kirin.
