I see dead novices 
Also imagine this: You die somewhere out there(due to lag, etc) and spawn right in the middle of the town square, and look who's there to welcome you! Baphie!!!
And then you start dying and spawning and dying all over again...
Another vicious cycle... |

| they're putting in the 2 that take the longest time to kill i guess. Osiris would take a while with those 14000hp, if he wasnt weak against almost everything. |

This is actully really sad.... everyone just kills/ks/loots/sometimes talks like normal... and then on the hour every hour there's an invasion of 200 people that all sit in the town square hoping for the boss. While I got some nice screen shots of the lines people made, I can't help but think "This is really sad" I see how fun this chould be... but well with this many people it seems to be more of a lag week then a party and gangbang boss week. The only positive I can give is that with this many people even noob's can get mvp... oh wait.... that isn't a positive. 
Anyways, I think the fun is lost to me because of one simple fact: You arn't going to spawn on Bapho.... because he'll be dead within a min of spawning, just like in the hidden caves. I heard they only loaded 3-5 per "attack" What they really need to do to make it fun is 1 tweak his stats so he lasts longer or kills faster, 2 pop in about 20 of them, 3: Put in a new boss that nobody has fought before that is JUST for invasions.(best thing they could have done) |

I was in Izlude near the end of the attack, and I think I remember seeing about five Baphs and seven goldies on screen at once. Of course, the players did the "Mongolian Hordes" technique to wipe 'em out, just swarming all over, mindless of who died.
Of course, I was just lying there on the ground. If I couldn't handle one Baph at level 25 on Chaos, there was no way I could take three at level 15 on Loki. =/
Odd thing. After the invasion was apparently defeated, I was still lying there and several people asked how I died.
"I ran out of HP. That's usually how one dies, isn't it?"
Of course, the fields are a bit clearer at the moment. I don't have half a hope of getting MVP, so I'll just level normally. |

I dunno if baph has attacked loki pront at all, but since my merchant is still selling just fine on my second comp in the center square, I'm guessing not. If so... then I'm kinda disappointed. I was hoping for hordes of baphs and goldies that would actually clear out the towns for at least 10 minutes if not half an hour each time they attacked. If it's just 3 or 4... as impressive as baph is, that's just not quite enough. Oh well, I shouldn't complain, it's cool that we're getting anything... but something more dramatic would still be fun

| meh, I'm not going to have time to sit around in a town all day waiting for monsters that may or may not come... I have to make up all those levels I lost on my characters. Then I have to try to make up the time I lost making up for the time I lost... ~_~ |

Heh, I don't have any chars on loki atm that would have a reasonable chance at killing bapho, much less getting a mvp, as it is anyway, and I don't feel like wasting the time on chaos. I was more hoping in part to (a) mess around once or twice at the most and (b) get some good leveling in while hopefully everyone else was trying to find baphos

Mongolian Horde--there is no smilie that can describe the absolute hilarity of that description of how bosses are killed. They really need to put something in that adds a bit of "mortality" to the game, just to discourage people from running around like idiots killing as much as they can until they die then respawn (I now know why such a "degenerative" word was used to describe the process) and repeat.
heh heh heh...mongolian horde. |

Towns get extremely laggy now.
I'm pretty sure there are a lot of high lvl parties that have one party member camping in each city. Everytime a monster comes, the town gets flooded with players, and I always lag out
I have a few party members, they're not that high in lvl, but they did MVP goldie the first and only time they've seen it so far. They were only lvl 45 and lvl 38 swordies. But I did hear rumors that it's the "Korean" goldie, that it was aggro and tougher

If I'm not mistaken, I'm pretty sure the Golden Bug is normally aggressive... (having had it crawl up and thwack me before...) |

You know how nonaggro monsters sometimes respawn and attack you? Does the same thing happen with aggro monsters?

Well personally, and I can't be sure of this really, I think that aggro monsters always attack you whether or not they've just spawned.
