1. Go to Hunt Board
2. Grab the Bills (They will have an Area directed by a circle on your mini-map)
3. Go to dedicated area
4. Pop the bill.
5. Instance for you and your party only

but nope >D

It works like that in FFXII or FFXIII (and it was a fun content) so I don't understand either why they didn't implement it that way.

put NM with the population of the server and the size of the area are stupid, sorry but that true... it's simple, see every large zerg falling on small rank B monster.

---

Yeah that's the main issue here, the size of the world is simply to small when you compare it to the amount of players on a given server. NM would have been fine in a bigger world where it takes more time to go from point A to point B.

If it were XI or 1.0 XIV then it would be manageable but this community is too large for these hunts to be free for all.

Totally agree, and stop wasting player time when lots people only have 1-2 hrs a day to play

what is bothering with the hunt like this, it's you can't decide when you play with your friend, since you wait for the spawn.
if it was by leves type system, it will be possible to play whenever you want with your friend or other!

This.

If someone shoots early does the whole flash mob of hunters get into heated arguments over who pulled first?

Actually it works just fine, but a competition is high, thus level of organization to be successful also required to be high.

We already have leves and maps that works this way, why create another shape of the same thing? Hunts as they are now create diversity, thus game cater to more people than just "solo/party gamers in open world".

You know, you can hunt with friend? And it's not that it is mandatory activity, or you can't take a breaks from it.
I hunt with friends for 3 hours, then go to coil with my static, then do some dungeon runs and crafting. And I am already at 4 sands and succubus. Just don't be so addicted to it and know how to say "stop" and take a break from camping.

Those who pulls usually just teleport away as soon as mob dies, so people that bicker just do it for their liking only.

No instance, reserved enemies. Everyone can see how you and your party fight

No. It doesn't work fine because those who don't cheat are cheated out of this content. I don't have a Radar so the only one I've gotten to in time (only partial since no one would invite me) because I was near when it popped.


And no, it's not instanced. It's still open world. Leves and Treasure Maps are open world content.

Radar doesn't allow you to teleport faster.
You always late because you are solo, you got information too slow and most probably you were not in hurry to get to mark. This has nothing to do with radar app.
Of those 20-30-50 man trains that rush to a newly found mark at most 1-2 parties have a person who found mark (and it doesn't always via radar app), the guilt of rest is only that they can get such information in less than 10 second and then teleport to destination in less than 2 second.
