[dev1141] Monstrosity (Play-as-a-Monster)

Be a worm, so you can ninja players.

wanna be a scorpion and yell "Get over here!"

I think they said somewhere you need to grind to be able to become one of the big mobs.

Hell, I'd be a hippogryph just for the movement speed.

After the rousing success of pankration, I can appreciate why they'd add this.

Hurray I'm a chigoe! *crit hit* aw crap I'm dead.

Totally going to rock heraldic imp and amnesia spam everyone!

Yeah they did. Naraka was like 4th or 5th stage of the undead evolution chain. They didn't say all mob types would be included, but they said a lot would.

Be a underground Antlion, wait for someone to show.

Can't wait to use this guide!

Linky

Hrm....i still want to see them deny us Morpher even though they practically made the system for it right here :<

Still, i am excite )*'0'*(

Awesome lol, whoever wrote that really took the time to think it through. Was really funny though XD

It's really a great way to save face. You can turn into Hahava and then when people complain they didn't get their mala SE then claims it's the Hahahva player's fault. Brilliant plan is brilliant.

Kaggen player wont give me my Meikogai....why D:

I was wondering why I still haven't gotten one...it was you, wasn't it, Enuyasha!

So it's come down to Battosai vs Inuyasha.

It's Toonami from 10 years ago!

I am but a wanderer.^_^

eat an orange, be 'k

100 bucks says when this actually releases, everyone will have already forgotten about it..and it will STILL be before cait sith is released.

Pfft no, I'm so excited for this to happen now lol. As to the "Before Cait Sith" part, probably lol

:|

Oranges are more than "k" :o

Become Omega, spam Pile Pitch.

It does sound exciting but I guess they are going to nerf those HNM abilities to a degree once they are under control of a human player (and not dumb game-AI.) I would think they will put obviously powerful moves (Pyric Bulwark immunity type, Meteor or instant-death/massive-AOE type, percentage healing moves, etc.) with a high TP% and/or low-HP% requirement or some other mechanic (like charges) out of a need for balance or else they might be spammed.

It will be interesting to see how they plan out the player-grouping dynamic (like alliance vs. HNM tier will be the standard balance, party-of-6 vs. lower-level NM tier next, etc.) to maintain fair play in the system, given monster players won't be able to party up.

EDIT: Too slow, again. :p Sparthosx already got to mention the super-move spam. ^_- /sigh

EDIT 2: I wonder how the monster leveling options will be, also. Obviously there won't be any PLing and likely no GOV or FOV for monsters LOL. And I can't imagine the in-game rationale for how monster-players will get inside Abyssea or get stones ("Shinryu needs your help! He's arranging for you to come to this alternate dimension to help kill these intruders and grants you time stones!") :p Hopefully it's not a huge grind to level up monsters without the player-type leveling methods.

Become Fafnir, watch TV for three hours and laugh as nearly a hundred people stand around wasting their evening waiting for you to play with them.

My first thought when reading this was "ooh, become an opo-opo so I can fling poo!" It may be time for some deep introspection.

Of course it will be! lol

this is sounding too good to be true, but if they can do this they can do PvP anytime/anyplace too! replace that lolAuto-group with a PvP flag or something!

HNM vs HNM playoff bracket go!

Cactuar.

I cannot wait for this. Imagine playing as a god-tier mob:

Gallu
Botulus
Naraka
Caturae

etc.

Weak.

I want to be a battering ram stationed in between Dem telepoint and gusgen. Tonight.......you

I'd play a monster if I could:

be megamaw mikey in aby latheine and immediately kill everyone afk'ing on the hill leeching xp

be Cuijatender and go after the mage babysitting a cleaver or wander a bit and kill perle bsts trying to farm koios for bst af3 seals.

be anything higher level in gusgen and attack sync parties :v
