Intense lag in besieged

[Neppy]

Anyone had a problem in beseiged when a SMN uses their two hour?
Yesterday during besieged right after we got the word that the savages were retreating, a SMN with Fenrir Howling Mooned one of the mobs. It created enough lag that FFXI and POL crashed on my computer. My computer is more then enough to run the game, and I have high speed internet as well. This isnt even the first time that it has happend, a beseiged before a SMN two hour lagged me out. Anyone else get this? Kinda sux when you go thru besieged twice and not be able to get the lil xp reward and ISP.

Re: Intense lag in besieged

I really can't say anything myself. My friend who is a level 73 Thief says he experiences enough lag in Besieged where he doesn't even participate anymore.

I hope Square Enix does something about this before I am a high enough level to participate. BTW, what level can I start participating in Besieged somewhat safely?

Re: Intense lag in besieged

A whitemage of any level can go into Besieged and cure people, and it will help.

I have a friend who plays a 75war (elvaan) and he has difficulty hitting the mobs even with accuracy gear and food.

On the other hand, I know a 62thf (hume) who never has a problem pulling hate with damage.

I know a 63 RDM that gets his enffebles to stick pretty well.

I'm a 66 WHM and Banish II does 4 dmg when I"m trying to nuke.



So it really depends on what job, what enemy (Mammol ja seem to have INSANE evasion), what gear, what skill levels.



Another note:

"Safety" and "Besieged" can only realistically be used in the same sentence if that sentence is "There is no such thing as safety in besieged."

66WHM/33BLM and I usually die about 4X per besieged. I try to raise three people for every death I suffer, but sometimes it doesn't work that easily.


Trolls, I can get through without dying but once or maybe twice when someone gives a bomb enough TP to self-destruct while I'm tryng to get past.

Mamook, I averge four of five, because hate control is really loose with them.

Undead, I die six, sometimes eight times, depending how efficently I can avoid the skeleton mobs with their AOE drain (more than enough to one-shot a weakened whitemage).

However, no EXP loss for any of these deaths, so in THAT aspect, I am perfectly safe.
