I posted it in the HNMLS forums but people like to point ant laugh at my credibility. Just because I dont play FFXI don't mean I can't make fun of it!
Edit: Let's talk about it here though. More people can join in since FFXI is too much fun to visit the message boards these days.

Copy and pasting my post.
SE strikes again. Pandemonium Warden unbeatable within 18 hours it seems.

19 forms (all with 8 lamps) until you get to the last, the last mob respawns all lamps every 25%. 18 and a half hours to get that far, and we just couldn't go any further. You have to fight tougher versions of Hydra/Khim/Cerb that take hours by themselves, all beastmen kings, all besieged generals, all chariots, besieged mobs, etc.
Not fucking worth it at all.
I'll update with specific details sometime later if people really want to know more, but this is just about the most fucking retarded thing I've ever heard of in a video game.

Dverger - after you kill all of the above he will pop with "hatched" lamps - smaller chair dudes.
We killed all of the Lamps and at 75% he popped another 8 and regened to 100%. We attempted again but the lamps were faster this time and we wiped after killing just one.
People were passing out and getting physically ill. We decided to end it before we risked turning into a horrible new story about how video games ruin people's lives.
Fight start time: 3:30pm EST, End time: 9:00am
Fuck you SE.

oh lol, I don't have access to those forums, but anyway, when you're on the outside looking in, this seems pretty ridiculous, but I bet there are a lot of people that play that are going "I wish I was there!"

Who cares, if people are stupid enough to get themselves sick by sitting in the same spot they jerk off for 18 hours glued to the screen like Lutia and a sheep, they deserve to be horribly scarred for life.
GO THE FUCK OUTSIDE RETARDS.

lol, but they are our guinea pigs. Personally I think they got suckered by SE. The fight seemed possible and it just kept going on and on. I'm sure they were thinking, "This could be the last round of lamps" yet were met with a respawn and full health again.

Inc Ninja patch on PW because this story had made un-ffxi websites, and when shit like that happens, you know you've done something wrong.
Just sucks to know that there are 2 mobs in the game that are unbeatable.

I liked the story about the kid who bugged his parents enough so he could quit school and play guitar hero all day.

He is going to be a real guitar hero some day... until he picks up a guitar and realizes he has to do more than push buttons.

I saw that too, I still find it hard to believe that a kid's parents would let him drop out of school to play GH professionally lol, even tho he hes bringing in a sick amount of money from it. When GH becomes old, I forsee this kid becoming a bum and playing his GH on the street for change, mark my words!
