      Yeah, Intensity, it was a crapload of BLM's and when the alliance CFH'd then they all manafonted and unloaded. Dropped it to 98% health, which then regen'd in a couple of ticks. The devs say that they test every monster and they all can kill anything they put in the game, but there has to be a trick or secret to it, otherwise I think its safe to say its impossible for a lone alliance of 18 to even make a dent int.

        I noticed someone earlier said something about cities being attacked, iirc it has been said that in the new expansion the new city will have random monster attacks against it.

          SE say they have defeated AV before they released it with around 40 people. I don't think anyone outside SE has managed yet though.

            Actually, in regards to ToA, the interview posted here mentioned something about mob invasions in the new Cities. That definitely got my attention. Id love to log in one day and see mass chaos cause one of the major cities was invaded.

            This is off topic but does anyone think well get to actually visit the city in Tavnazia from the opening movie in this expansion rather than just see it from a distance?

              i think sage sundi is smoking crack. he was way out of the ballpark when he said ToA is mostly low-level content and i think it's the same about AV.

                I'm not sure, but common sense dictates that they will make it playable. Why else would they let players walk around in it in the movie, or put such a strong emphasis on it. Anyway, I sure hope they do.

                And net.drifter, I like your avatar.

                  Mmmmmmm i wonder how SE beat that monster? What gear or what weapons do they have. It is not fair cause they have all the advantage and the proper items to do it!

                    There's probably an item you have to use on him similar to Yellow Liquid on Mammet, CCB Polymer on Omega/Ultima, Mistmelt on Ouryu, etc.

                      Something like that did occur in another MMORPG, Everquest. I forget the name of the great beast, it was under the title 'The Sleeper' though. It was a massive dragon, one per server and it was mostly meant for storyline puposes only. But this creature was as bad as you could get, it could zone, which in itself was horrible cause there's no way to really escape it. It couldnt really be hurt but by like one specific type of magical attack, so people would spend days and nights, just shooting off on it, taking shifts. A server got it down to almost death and a GM removed the creature before its death, because it was storyline purpose only, it was never meant to die. EQ players got really pissed off, so the GMs put it back in, full life, they went at it again and took it down. Someone said that the guy who killed it, after he got the confirmation message, logged out and never came back lol It was as much End Game as you could get.

                      Something like that in FFXI would be interesting, it'd need to be a Dynamis style mob, in which everyone in the area could hit it without it going CFH. Which AV -should- be anyways, they could seperate the loot, it'd be a bit difficult mind you..but I'm sure it could be done. But a creature that could zone, they may bring the concept out eventually, since they're as of now going to start doing the beastmen raids on ToA. So they could have some sort of 'uber monster' come rampaging through the nations, through jeuno, through anywhere. Only place that would be safe would be Mog House really. Make the entire FFXI world one gigantic battle-field devoted to the take down of this singular entity. Yeaah, I'd skip work for a week for that, definatly lol it'd be worth it in the end I guess..then I'd have a reason to quit.

                      -Edit- I want to add one more thing, but its a spoiler and I dont know how to put the seperate message windows into this one, help me before I edit again?

                        See i think SE might already have a beast like this. Something they have created some pretty nasty beasts in all the FF........OMG! I just had a thought. What if they unleashed a wave of weapons like in FFVII. That would be super scary.

                        As for AV maybe it takes a special combination of attacks to take it down or maybe it's something so simple we can't think of it. Rack your brains and find the weakness.....

                          That would be awesome. The things would periodicly attack one of the towns, and people would have to gather together and help defend the town. If not, then some luxuries like airship and stuff like that. But it'd be awesome if on my server one of them attacked via Batalia, that way the entire flea market could be wiped out

                            I think SE should create an airship fleet for each server. It could be a new job class. Pilots, crewman, captins etc. If they did release a group of "Weapons" on the server the ships would be needed to defend the towns if they had a flying weapon.

                            Could you imagine learning how to pilot an airship.

                            Anyway.... Still got a bad feeling. (even more since the weapon idea crossed my mind) Once Alexander is brought out as either an avatar or just a character all hell will break loose on FFXI. We need insider SE info. Darn it! I hate being kept in the dark!

                                As for AV, it HAS been killed.

                                I believe LimitBreak on Odin had managed to get it past 50%, while another LS on Siren, I believe, killed it.

                                The trick is to equip the Jailer Weapons with the stones and it won't use the deadly 2-hours.
