If you zone in somewhere and everything is black (minus your character and NPCs/homepoints), then it means you're using some kind of HD texture pack. The client experiences frane delays when loading higher density textures, and this can cases black screens and momentary synchronization issues between the client and server. If you find yourself spamming a macro or button in situations were you would normally expect these presses to work consistently, you could be throttling your client's performance with these mods.
(This is just one reason why I don't use them).
A black zone (where your character and other players exist and move), just means the game could not load the zone file.
This can either be a hard drive issue (bad sector, failing hd), possible file corruption / user file error (upload something in the wrong place etc), or the game ran out of ram and could not load the file (XI is allowed to use 2 gigs, no matter how much ram you have on your PC it is only allowed to use 2 gigs). Windower (and possibly Ashita) attaches itself to XI and uses that ram allocation too (although this rarely eats enough ram to cause problems), and also any HD mod eats into that allowance (HD maps included). However unless you really go overboard with mods (the 2nd really large ashenbubs pack being an example of going overboard) then you're almost never going to have problems with HD mods causing black zones.
Even if you do, you can use the 4 gig ram mod Thorny made to double your allowed ram use for XI.
I've used mods for 8 years, and I've had a black zone once and I don't even use the 4 gig modification Thorny created.
Another issue is that there is a small memory leak on XI if you're swapping characters a lot on the account (muling a lot), and if you do this day after day and never restart the game you're going to hit the ram limit at some point. The way to stop that, is to just restart the client every day / few days (this is why I almost never have the problem, even though I use a lot of mods and swap characters a lot).
so:
It's ok to use mods, but beware of the x4? ashenbubs pack cause that is way too big (imo). If you do use that, then use the 4 gig modification Thorny made.
Aside from that, restart the client every few days (if you're having black screen problems) and if you mule a lot consider restarting every day (this also causes problems where the chat log can keep blanking when you full screen the chat log, you'll notice if you have multiple accounts that the one where you have the most alts and cycle through them is going to get it first) |

My understanding of the "matter" is your server has to kill NMs, the more you kill the better your chance of drop from chest is. Only from chest I think. First time through, everyone is guaranteed a matter. After that.. i guess you could get 5 a week if lucky? Kinda like the 3K or 5K deal but hopefully with better odds. When you upgrade with further matter. It reads like units don't come into it at all so maybe can not horde them and just go back to spending them? Not sure. But no one should see a matter till next week. Doesnt matter if you participated in a kill or not. But these things are popping a ton so imagine on asura at least the matter rate will be decent.

There's no reason to for something mundane like posting here on the forms.
You (and I, and many else) are paying the price for the laziness of the rest of the world. I know multiple people who no longer write their own messages at all, and are wearing down their ctrl, c, and v keys instead. |

As a career WHM, Yagrush is just aces. Simplifies the gameplan for most encounters and tightens up your action economy. Beautifully efficient.
Chango is another one that's never disappointed. What's already a fine pick for zerging becomes S-tier when you've got a mob to yourself and can chain without interruption, especially when it's vulnerable to skillchain damage.
Ukonvasara is much more niche, but it's probably my favorite overall. The model's cool, the AM3 ride is cool, having to build a specific set for the AM3 ride is cool, and its AM3 ride in particular rules thanks to WAR's ability to cap double attack rate and pump double attack damage. Access to PDL has only improved things, and WAR has the attack steroids to make it really pop off. Formidable performance-wise even in the absence of an AM3-centered buff suite.
There are more that I've gotten a lot of use out of-- all the BRD instruments and Carnwenhan, Idris, Epeolatry --but they just lack the shine of a huge axe, in my eyes.

Seems like it might be easiest to farm a set of pages now, (killing NM's in between) but wait until conquest tally to pop the chest at the top.

Dont think its known how personal rewards work.
Patch notes to me read that the new accessories are gotten from a material you might get after completing a limbus climb if your server killed enough NMs the previous week. One does not need to actually kill any NMs for these materials.
Is your bulleted summary made by AI summarizing the thread? Bullets 2-4 each being their own bullet specifying more and more on the same topic reads like AI to me.

(only half serious here. While I'm sure they're fine with the right setup, they sound annoying and bothersome for a mere chance at a personal reward). |

I think the NMs are probably fine. Untested by myself obviously but a geo throwing matt or att debuffs could be really good for the whole server. I guess what I'm saying is that you want your buffs and such to be defensive focused and you'll be fine. magus or gallants roll, wilt fade barrier fend attunement vex geos, minnes. IDK maybe the fights taking long with this will be a different kind of annoying.

Do geo debuffs have nerfs on the normal mobs in limbus?

Im always late to the party, but I suppose I shouldnt be the only one?
IDK about this new thing pulled out by Youtube. I do feel more and more people must be aware of content being appropriate to younger people.
But on the other side, I do think it is ***you using children as an excuse to reduce the potential of a content that is aimed for adults. There is something weird when only content suitable for children is worth the full payment.
I only know the tip of the iceberg anyway. The fact is, Youtube is a kinda of boss that can pull rules as they feel like, and everyone is impacted.

Are the NMs claimed by the party that's fighting them like traditional mobs or open to anyone in the zone to fight them like domain invasion

The NM did not agro but other things around still did agro while fighting.
Honestly the patch makes it sound like an individual does not need to interact with the NM at all for the rewards. Sounds like the server kills enough NMs, then the chests for everyone get upgraded the following week.

Are these guys just thrown randomly in between the other monsters on various floors?
Do they aggro, link or something? Do you get a special "status" while fightin em?
The fact they drop no floor objective points is fine, they fact they don't give not even a single Temenos/Apollyon points is quite... demoralizing I'd say.
I'm not even saying they should give a huge bunch of points but at least the amount you'd get from a Normal Apollyon/Temenos mob of the same level would be the least honestly.
If they're this annoying and you're supposed to kill them aplenty just for the chance of someone getting something potentially nice the following week, I'm not sure this is a very well thought gameplay element for the community of players.

I imagine once the whole server shows up instead of 8-20 people we'll be able to kill it before it becomes functionally immune to silence.
Do you remember old school arcade games where the boss has a huge HP bar but his HP only goes down after you put in enough quarters?
...I bet SE is like: "well, if you don't have X number of people engaging this thing in an hour or a day ...then you just get the mega-***tier version. Haha...good luck!" |

You guys zoned in Tavnazian safehold yet?
All i see are the homepoint and the npc.
All the rest is black, and i'm bound next to the hp
Log out and back in (or crash the client, since you won't be able to logout in that state), if it keeps doing it when you log back in and you didn't have issues before it could either be a hard drive issue (do a checkdisk) or a corrupt file (do a file check. |

I have this issue occasionally happen and I don't use HD texture packs. Its most often when zoning back into Kamihr from Sortie. sometimes I can warp out but I cant move when it happens. Usually any action crashes the client. |

In reality they'll either not 100% replace current ambu cape equivalents or we'll just use abdhaljs needles to switch the outdated capes to what ever niche is left and we didn't bother to make before hand. Bold of you to assume I haven't made every niche cape already. Pretty sure capes are most of my inventory at this point. |

On asura. Got a bluemage NM on central 4 temenos. All debuffs easy to land except silence has a growing resistance. when not silenced drops aoe nukes for 1-2k. have him at 13% rn. tried saboteur stymie silence and it stayed on for like 20 seconds.
killed. last 13% was very slow. mostly by COR at range and RUN tanking. nothing of note happened after kill that I saw.
Was part of this. Parse had warrior at top, cor right behind it. Rune was essential. Silence was an absolute must for this thing. |

According to the orb NPC, the following 3 rules apply.
1. It does not respect set level.
2. There are 22 types, and only 4 spawn an Earth day.
3. Vanquishing them affects the contents of the following weeks coffer.

Ring and earring will be useful for their dt and hp on the earring regardless of augments, will have to see augments to see if the capes end up actually useful but hopefully replace at least some jse capes to get inventory back.
Lvl 135 should be nice too, I don't see anything about rewards for actually being the ones defeating the NMs, I'm hoping at least a decent chunk of points for upgrading AF/Relic+4 otherwise it will just be a few people clearing the NMs and everyone else leeching the benefits.
