The Hunt 3.0

the Hunt is poorly implemented but it's not a bad concept.

they did better with the daily bills but it's still not enough. there should be 2 tiers of Elite Marks.

DAILY B Ranks for solo (reduce to like 50 Seals)
Weekly A Ranks for groups (200-250 Seals)

S Ranks can be S ranks.

clearing all Hunt Bills daily at Lv 60 will let you 2 weapons a week. also they start at 170 and go to 180.

When hunts were popular for sands we had a FC on our server that was notorious for calling their entire group over and pulling the mob early. Every. Single. Time.

There really needs to be some kind of downtime in-between when the mob is pulled, and when it starts taking damage. Make it invulnerable for a couple of minutes and have it pop up on the map the second it's pulled. That or they all just need a huge HP boost. I feel like the higher rank marks should be very difficult to kill, and not just be a paper thin zerg-fest.

Why? Hunts are working as intended. They are meant to be taken down by "players already in the area" and not large hordes of people. sorry, but i dont see it changing any time soon.

Best thing they can do is add seals to pvp

never been a fan of hunt system from day 1 ;/ probably wont bother upgrading gear til they implement other ways.. i might kill the occasional mark if im in the same area but dont go out of my way to hunt them

I loved hunts in 2.0 and I really like to see them back in 3.0

get a group in pf and search hunts active, its nearly impossible to miss them then, for everyone complaining

The problem is that hunts aren't taken down by people "in the area". They're taken down by Hunt LSs who signal each other when the mark pops, and then zerg it before anyone else in the zone even knows it's there. This is why I think that they should appear on the map the moment they're engaged.

1-2 minutes of invulnerability would allow people who ARE in the immediate area to get to the mob in time, without forcing players to wait around to hit it.

Hold on, if you cant see a train of people running in the same place and have the idea to follow them or /shout please invite than thats your fault. stop blaming others for your laziness

To give ppl another option in gearing up for alex.

Im sure lots of ppl have millions of gil and would rather buy meldable gear than to be toxic about hunts cuz they missed it etc.

I wish! I made a killing over the last few days off of Hard Silver in the Hinterlands, I did a few hunts today cause I was locked out of LLR (was Aurum Vale eww), the hunts in 3.0 kinda suck, these Instanced zones are BS, I had to zone 6 times to get into (2). Tried to make it to a few and they were dead before I could even get into the right instanced.

Excuse me? Since you're getting personal this suggestion must really hurt your game somehow, I guess?

I do follow the crowd when I see it. I do run to the mark and join PF groups when I see the shouts. My problem is that the mob is dead by the time I get there more than half the time because a hunt LS or two has all ready descended on the mark by the time the shouts go out.

Please take your assumptions somewhere else, thanks.

"Called"

Mob dies in on an average of 10 seconds.

Yep, thats my server.

Just farm expert roulettes for law tomes and do the daily clan hunts for seals. You don't need a lot of either so you can get what you need by the time Alexander opens up. I didn't even know how to use the stuff 2 days ago now I have a 180 weapon and 3 170 accessories. Got a barding and minion too.

i never really learned how hunts work since they weren't really necessary at the time i returned to the game, its extremely rare im ever in an area when a hunt pops, and even rarer i make it before its slaughtered. how do people even work with this system

Theres an app for PC that tells them when and where the hunt mobs spawn. So if youre not using that then your pretty much S.O.L.

I'd also assume there are Linkshells around that are for calling out the hunts. I am part of 2 at this moment, they are a big help

join a hunt ls yourself, or 2 or 3 or 4, hard to miss something then

btw, this site is a huge help too: http://ffxivhunt.com/odin

have a group before something pops and be on the map for searching open As with others
then kill them and enjoy the tears of late people

All A rank hunts, and possibly S rank level 50 hunts need a massive HP buff. Both get nuked in a matter of seconds.

Saw Marberry a couple times and got bored with the wait. I have been to involved in leveling up misc jobs to even noticed the hunts have either moved or stopped. Nice to hear they are still the same in 3.0 as they were in 2.0 when something new was added to it.

I agree, the hunt is one of the most toxic venomous community-killing things in this game at present.

I've only bothered to do it for a day (today) and I threw my hands up into the air and said it' not worth it.

In a month I can get real gear, everyone knows this current gear is trash that will be replaced by
1: relic weapon
2: alex gear
3: esoteric gear

So screw the 2-4 points more of mind I can get from the gear. Not worth this stress and grief- the amount of toxicity I saw today alone was enough to turn me off of it.

The hunt is rubbish. Forum is full of people weighing in on how to make it better, they don't care.
