but also get your NM kills while you can! it would be funny if it was based per nm for weekly chest bonus (for how many matters you get or whatever)

gonna just give 100+ at this rate if so

my guess honestly is something is glitching out with the hp down and it's reducing to 100% and not 10%. and then the dot kills the nm

that would defeat the entire purpose of time gating it the way they did. you kill the minimum, or an infinite number, same 1 matter per week or however many it is

It's the overflow glitch. Looking at Falkirk's screenshot, it appears Purulent Ooze is healing the NM instead of reducing it by 10%. I agree with Nynja's post, it looks like it's causing the mobs HP to exceed 100%, and the game doesn't know what to do with it, so it assumes you must have done so much damage to actually exceed it's health entirely, and it just dies. This was something you could do in FF7 and other SE games, but likely due to its weird coding.

Well that's gonna get an emergency maint and some bans.

Part of me wants to believe that SE added some job-specific kill-switch/gimmick that 1/22 jobs gets for each of these new NMs ....but I guess that would be silly for a server-wide NM.

It seems to happen sometimes in Apollyon - exit teleporters can have a secondary target. I've seen "NPC" like yours and also just <blank square> as well.

That was the NPC that would report zone status and time remaining. Not sure why they didnt just remove it entirely.

Holy crap the amount of people whining about losing ML they botted or paid for is absolutely unreal in this thread.

Oh my God, can you imagine if you died 500 times to these NMs and then *gasp* lost 1 STR and 7 HP?! I'm not doing this content, it's just not worth it!

Please, loosen the grasp on your pearls and realize how ridiculously miniscule the penalty for dying is. Unless you're homepointing every time and throwing your body at it constantly, you will never, ever, ever notice these deaths. It doesn't matter. Chill.

If you're really obsessed with maintaining your full screen of ML50 blue numbers, you can turn your bots back on, it's fine. Or you can buy some more gil and pay the RMT to bot it for you.

I thought this too, but it's even more broken. Just worked on a NM that had 58% hp when I oozed it and one shot lol

Wonder if they broke HP down entirely or just vs those NMs. Probably the latter but...has anyone tried it outside of Limbus?

I'm curious if it one shots the normal mobs in limbus. There's no reason to ever ooze them.
Already answered that fast

It's probably the way mobs level down when interacted with, that's why the hp goes up (they got weaker and have less hp to fill the bar more) and then it counts 10% of the maximum instead of the new limit killing them.

The nm's aren't supposed to have this mechanic, but that's what it looks like happens. Like they're becoming level 1, instead of 130.

Don't think it has anything to do with it's health, but how the numbers in the damage formula are stored and what happens when an enfeebling effect that deals damage interacts with the mob. Normally it just deals damage, but because they added something wonky to the damage calculation of mobs in Limbus, it's basically corrupting the formula and killing mobs instantly.

Different game but explains how these glitches occur

Thorny might be savvy enough to explain what is going on with the damage calculation

On a lark I tried it on Quetz and nothing happened. Would've been funny, though.

Does it take 1 hit/DoT to kill it after Ooze, implying 1HP, or does it automatically die when ooze wears off?

So -10% HP gives it 1 HP and then it dies to Bio. The three ways I see that happening are:
1. It has a native +1000% HP buff that gets overwritten to -10%, but they calculate the -10% max HP based off the buffed max HP.
2. It has native -90% max HP and ooze's -10% stacks with it.
3. Some form of even more al dente spaghetti code

Anyway, sounds like next week will be a good week to farm chests if anyone on Lakshmi bothers exploiting this.

if its dying to DoT, then that would heavily imply the HP down from Ooze is reducing its HP to a number between 1-15 and bio is finishing it off.

100% = 1/1 maximum hp
