I just read on the Lodestone that you need to go to the Grand company HQ to obtain your hunt.
I would have thought it would be a good idea to have the ability to accept the hunts at various locations - just create a hunt board.
This would reduce amount of people cramming into one zone..... Unless they not expecting many people to do the hunts.

Of particular interest is the rewards.
Sands and oils from hunts. Interesting.Quote:
Rewards include weapons, armor, minions, sands of time, oil of time, and alexandrite.

Just why, please SE, why at all... again NEW currency?
Will this stupidity never stop?
Edit: at least let us trade between all those different currencies! Please!! -

Sounds nice and all, but really? 1 regular per day and 1 elite per week? This sounds like 5 minutes of content per day, give or take. Maybe it's more than the description makes it out to be. The rewards certainly seem to indicate that at least, though I wonder how many marks/ elite marks you'd need to down to get sand/ oil/ alexandrite.

Uh, whut? What new currency? I just read the Lodestone article and it didn't say anything about a new currency being used with the Hunt - all it mentioned is you get myth and soldiery tomes, and GC seals as a reward. But nothing mentioned about a new token system or anything for it.

06-26-2014, 02:45 PMMusashidonplayers will receive rewards including Allied Seals, Allagan tomestones of mythology, and Allagan tomestones of soldiery.Quote:

Oops, my mistake - I read that as Grand Company seals. Thanks for that clarification. :)

Nutz - i am sure it says the elites have to be under certain conditions. So I would assume those take a bit longer to do and perhaps need a full team.
-
06-26-2014, 02:49 PMBrine_GildchaffI think they mean a new -list- of regular and elite marks is posted each day/week. Think of it as getting a fresh hunting log every day, and a special hunting log each week. (Keep in mind there are B, A, and S-rank elite marks, so one elite mark per week would make no sense.)Quote:

If you're getting the 3 from the various ranks, I'm not reading it like that at all. Seems it's one a week which can be one of those various ranks. Also "appears under certain conditions" I'm reading as a forced pop, in contrast to regular hunts which are open world monsters that already exist.

I like the ability to gain sands/oils/alex from this as well. I have yet to step in BCoB2 yet so will be nice. I can start working on a Burtgang now.

Part of the reason I liked the Hunts from XII is because each and every single one of them was a unique monster. Though I stretch the term loosely as palette swaps are unique by my standards, especially in comparison to the the repeated unrecolored monsters of XIV So I hope that aspect is retained.
[NOTE: I mean to say that recolors are rarer here than in XII. I guess it might be an MMO thing]
In contrast I had a minor gripe with the Rare game system (also from XII) because of the repeated palettes (save one specific case, and at least some of them were resized)
Why stop at 8. especialy considering Odin's fate and the superbosses like Yiazmat could easily make for a challenge even with 24 players.Quote:

Probably because that's the max party size and I doubt rewards will be distributed outside the party. Unless it's a FATE, and to hell with that.
-
06-26-2014, 03:03 PMNutzI hadn't considered that. It does sound better that way and upon rechecking it they do use the plural. The way I initially read it it sounded like possibly the equivalent of 1 peisteskin map per week plus a few regular mobs to kill each day. I'm a bit more hopeful then. It felt like they were trying to severely stretch out reward acquisition, though I'm sure they are to some degree.Quote:

With the ability to make our own alliances in 2.3, I wonder if this system could later accommodate 24-person parties.

06-26-2014, 03:38 PMOoshimaLOL really seriously. I never expected Oil and Sands to appear there, since it was introduced as a method to obtain alexendrite.Quote:

Those who are complaining - locked behind coil, you complain. Introduce you new ways to get them, you complain. I think you just want them to be fed directly to your inventory. -
06-26-2014, 03:54 PMZumi
Makes me wonder if they are like maps in that you wipe once to your S rank elite mark for the week you are done.

With the amount of sand/oil needed to upgrade sol gear, rewarding oil/sand in hunt is a good idea imo.
At least a bit of variety. :)
However, if you need 100000 allied seal to get one sand it will be hard xD -
06-26-2014, 06:42 PMZumiIt should probably take 4 weeks of doing hunts to get an oil or sands. Because you can only get a max of 2 per week for 8 people in coil so 4 weeks of going through rotation of everyone in the 8 person group.Quote:
