Hunts are Great!

<blog> I don't really understand why are so many people bashing the Hunt system. In my opinion they are great. I have lots of fun and I find it quite addicting.

For my server what I did was to start tracking rank A kills by myself in a Google doc. Then I start sharing that over FC's and LS's and now we have hundreds of people working together to get seals while several of us keep the spreadsheet updated 24/7. I have met a bunch of people I wouldn't have meet otherwise and we are enjoying the game as much as we ever did.

Of course there are always a couple of people that like to pull early or not share their kills, but that's expected when you have hundreds of people doing the same thing. But those are only the minority. We just ignore those and keep at it and have lots of fun.

So yea, thanks SE for this great feature. </blog>

Maybe because people on PS3 or weak PCs can't participate? And content that is only available to a part of the community due to hardware limitation is just bad game design.
It's good that you are enjoying the hunts and the rewards given for them. And I wish I could too. But no amount of skill, effort or luck can make that possible.
Go enjoy your hunts, upgrade your set. As a third-class subscriber, I might too, if you guys get bored and finish your sets.

I don't know how big Lamia is, but it's hell on high-population legacy servers.

Turning off everyone elses spell effects doesn't help?

Your right, they finish optimizing the game and bring us the long deserved DX11 client before they add more large-scale content. PS4 users would see a huge boost too.

Probably won't happen until they drop PS3 support or until the expansion. Or both.

No. The NM disappears off the screen when too many people show up, even if they are just standing there not doing anything and the NM isn't even claimed yet.

I'm on PS3 hunts are just fine. Just stay away from the large crowd if you want to keep the mob from phasing out.
