August 2025 Version Update

idk that the average asuran can read a map they simply follow the bot trains to get around, at least that is what i am lead to believe.

I saw Whereisdi resubbed the other day. Need to get his brother Whensbesieged online to announce to the server the next Besieged attack.

That's what I'm asking!
Did you read my post? I check the Besieged map TWICE every *** day. When I login and when I logout.
It's NEVER there.
I guess it must be happening when I'm offline, but I'm online every day for at least 2 hours, and it never *** happens!

As I mentioned before since they updated Besieged I managed to catch it online TWICE.
Once in June, by pure chance because I was messing around with Whitegate stuff and saw the announcements.
Once in July, because while checking the Besieged map I noticed that Trolls were preparing (and it still took over 2hours from when I noticed it, til when the battle started. Close to 3 I'd dare to say, I ended up going to bed super late compared to when I was supposed to!)

So I dunno, is there something else I can do? This feels super frustrating, I've been literally hunting besieged almost every *** day and it never bloody happens I swear.


@Drayco
Yes of course I have that KI, never seen it work not even once.

There is a bot group on Odin that you see in and out of the alchemy guild, 10 bots on autofollow. 3M per character per day, every day apparently is lucrative enough

Well, today I logged in and a mamool besieged was set to start in maybe half an hour, and a troll besieged was set to go right after (it ended up starting 5 minutes after the mamool were done). It was just coincidence though.
The new NMs correspond to the new monster types, so collibri and dahak. A decent number of players showed up, many spamming pet 1 hour aoes so everything died rather quickly and I didn't get to see much of what the nms can do. The dahak seemed to full dispel everyone near the gate, presumably with a very large aoe nullsong.
On a related note, I've been meaning to ask anyone else who has done besieged somewhat recently, what's up with Lamia #9? It feels like her elementals can level up to absurd strength if she isn't stopped quickly. Is anyone familiar with the mechanic for that?

Couple things:

* The KI that tells you a besieged attack is imminent only gives you the message if you are in a city zone.
* Generally from "preparing" level 1 it takes roughly 8 hours to get to "advancing".

Can sorta guesstimate when it will happen from how far along it is.

There is a formula, there is at least one person on my server that can calculate exactly when the next attack will happen, but I don't know how he does it.

Whining works!
Just logged and Trolls are "Preparing" on level 5, yai! :-D

So level 6 atm, counter is at 170.
Average estimate of how much it would take until they get to Al Zahbi? Would anybody be able to take a wild guess?

I know I've mentioned this before but unironically...

Get a linkshell. Tell them to mention when Besieged is incoming. It's impossible to miss, seriously. In a linkshell of like 30 people, SOMEONE will be in ANY city when besieged starts advancing.

Hell, get two linkshells. It's an MMORPG.


TBH? Probably about 2 hours?

About 3-4 hours.

It's a good tip! But I have 2 LSs atm.
All the people having my same issues minus the few NA ones who claimed they caught a lot of Besieged runs over the last few months :x

On our server there is a wonderful and handsome and smart and capable little japanese taru that always /yells when Besieged is preparing. He started doing it when they added it to Trove RoEs and we all love him for it.

Oh you have one of those too? That's awesome.

Our version is a hume, also JP and also /yells before hand to tell you exactly when besieged will start so you don't miss it.

I should've trusted you guys!
I didn't want to trust you and, afraid to miss yet another chance of this thing that seems to never *** happen to me, I just waited in zone.
Zone timer said something around 2hrs and 30m when the cutscene played!

(of course it started like 2 mins after I sit down at the table for dinner, of all the possible times, lmao, felt like being trolled)


Btw 11666 Imperial Standing.
400 Imperial Standing Accolades (couldn't they find a different name lmao?)
35k Limit Points
7,5k Exemplar Points

Yall forget Sechs on Asura
So even if someone does yell about Besieged

RMT will flood it out of the chat log before you even finish reading.

Signficantly more DT and HP then before now but they are still dropping the old 70 gear. Took 45min to kill Gurfur on my rdm.

it was a progressive thing that eventually spiraled out of control and people eventually accepted as part of the Asura experience. I know Bahamut already has a fairly strong RMT presence and increasing tolerance of mercs, but I hope to god they don't let it ruin /yell to the same extent. that ***is so depressing.

Yep, won't name him, but I see them as another Serpent General at this point. When I go to Besieged, they often buff me up at the start without asking. <3

So is COR officially no longer the MVP in PVP?

Is there a pvp mode were you can change gear?

That quote is taken a little out of context, and also confused me until I read the full release notes. The release notes state that the QD change is specific to Limbus. Sounds like the enhanced mob damage reduction applied in Limbus wasn't properly affecting Quick Draw (i.e., QD was still working like it does outside of Limbus, instead of doing reduced damage due to the Limbus-specific innate mob damage reduction that is supposed to apply to all damage types).

Full release note (emphasis added) was:

Gurfurlur takes zero damage walking through Wajoam, doubt he drops that neato ring!
