The dreadful Pale Rider

So, the S rank in the Hinterlands is called the Pale rider and that dude is no Joke. I wish I had the sense to take a screenshot of the aftermath, but I'm certain it won't be the end. Hands down the easiest way to get your kindness of strangers achievement. Anyone with screenshots of their battlefield?

Haven't fought that one yet, I missed it when it popped on Balmung.
Fought Leucrotta in Azys Lla though, it does T10 crap

Hunts are really bad in Balmung right now. Even this particular hunt which is supposed to be one of the stronger ones, still dies to the zerg rush within seconds.
Few people die because there are a billion players there and it just gets whittled down way too fast.

Sadly, on Ragnarok server... We had about 500 people showing up like a Zombie Army. For us with 'poor' 2014 computers (or maybe it's a client / server issue) and playing in melee... It was permanent disconnected status.

Awesome to dodge cleaves and aoes when disconnecting ^^ Whereas I was rocking 1.1 MB bandwith (1100 KB/s) on SpeedTest.net and my ping commands were under 140 ms to the server (the usual as an european) and 4 ms to my internet router.

So ... Welp, half the people were dead. Shoulda screenshotted it or frapsed it lol

It's really bad that this disconnected status bug is still present. And yes, my 'Quantity of characters and objects" is on Minimum for this particular reason, that's why you only see people in a 8 yards radius around my character. Still doesn't prevent that DC error when everyone starts whacking the S rank.

And yeah, visual effects and sounds are disabled for people outside of my party

EDIT: using DirectX 9.0c since DirectX11 = half the fps for the same graphics when everything is on minimum.

Maybe DirectX 11 actually fixed this error.

With over a hundred people going off in him he is a joke. U just need to watch for his counter maneuver

It was so fun. I also fought the knock-off Imdugud. His crackle hisses are a b***h. I was on permanent rez duty. I'm gonna make sure I make it to all the s ranks and ignore my party member and just rez randoms. Kindness of strangers Achievement aggro too strong. :D

i dont notice hunt mechanics since they mostly die before they even finish casting their first spell
i must give commendation to my boy safat for always killing massive amount of people even in 3.0 though

So far, Sabotender Ballerina, even though this A rank dies in about 15 seconds in Central Thanalan, has been able to kill the most people during The Hunt. ♥ 20,000 Needles attack ahah

Sadly, Hellsclaw in Eastern La Noscea lost his title of 'most dreaded' A rank since he dies before finishing casting his Counter Maneuvers ability LOL
