Hunts are unfair for ps3 players.Make some fix please!!

For the love of god you have to fix the hunts for ps3 players.As a ps3 player i find ultra hard to reach any of them because when i know a mob location and warp to the map i can barely load the zone and the enemy is already killed.Even in odin and behemoth you fixed the problem but these new monsters die too fast and cant do anything at all

Buck up and buy a PS4 runs great for me.

I can't edit my previous post but the ^^ was for the OP not this guy lol. That said not everyone can upgrade so try adding something more useful next time. There is a population of ps3 users and the game is also intended for that console so it should work for us without having to buy ps4 or gaming pc. You totally miss the point.

Yah they need to fix the priority level of the mobs. They said they did in the hot fix but even on PC I was having Safat popping out on me until I basically climbed up his ass.

Its not only the priority of the mobs...Its just it loads too slow and the mobs dies too fast....

Ps3 players are ruining hunts?

Having this on ps3 is a pity move, yeah it will run, but not well, maybe try a server with a smaller population, or maybe try waiting another week or two until the new new gets old old.

Do you guys ever plan on upgrading from a 7 years old computer? It's only going to get worse for you as time goes on. How are frontlines on PS3 btw?

it doesn't matter, this is a ps3 game too and until they flat out discontinue it for ps3 they need to make the content work for us too. Get off your high horse. Besides not all of us are leet gamers and need the hottest new toy to play games all day every day. This is the only game I play, why should I pay hundreds of dollar to buy another console for a game on my current console. The point of the post is that the hunts are not working on ps3 not a debate about upgrading.

This, pretty much.
Except their 7-8 year old computer can't be upgraded, so not only are you stuck with an old system, but a system that inevitable will become deadweight.
I understand that not everyone has 400+ USD laying around, but you have to understand that time moves forwards and so do games.
There is issues with the hunt, yes. More than I can list here. But the issue you have, can not be reasonably fixed, regardless of what changes are applied to the hunt.
The only thing that would fix your problems, is if the hunt is turned into spawned mobs via a duty of sort. Which defeats the intend of the hunt, anyway.

Not everyone has several hundred dollars of expendable income buddy. I fortunately was able to buy a PS4 and did upgrade when i got tired of the lag but like i said...Not everyone can drop $500 on a gaming system or over $1000 on a solid PC. I myself skip a lot of PC games that come out because i can not justify to myself dropping 4 figures on a machine solely for a video game or 2. I've been awaiting an MMO to hit the playstation for a while and unfortunately FFXIV is an average at best game but is the best of the available pool of crap out there currently.

Unfortunately I dont think there is much SE can do for them other than the fact that if they do manage to afford a PS4, its free to upgrade the game for the remainder of the year.

I have a PS4 and have had multiple instances where Hunt mobs would disappear/not show up for periods of time.

I'm not really bothered about hunts, but I wanted to post some support for those having problems. I'm playing on a laptop that often takes a while to load an area and I have no chance of replacing this computer any time soon. I just don't have the money.

People need to stop throwing around the "Why don't you PS3 players just buy a PS4" bullshit. Not every one can afford a new console/computer, and as my laptop beats the system requirements, and as the game is available on PS3, people shouldn't HAVE to upgrade either.

Frontlines are good on PS3, I've had no issue. Usually all 72 players aren't in the same area so it doesn't become an issue. CT and ST also usually don't have problems (unless you have full effects on for everyone and everything). But for things like the hunt and behemoth/odin there are so many players in the immediate area that it has trouble prioritizing what should appear since everything is constantly moving and effects need to be rendered.

As for upgrading/replacing; some of us PS3 players want to move to PS4 or PC but can't afford it (situations vary), and others are willing to wait for a price drop on the PS4 and/or for more games to release to justify the purchase. The PS4's library is fairly small with few system sellers at the moment. Many of us will likely drop money on the console once Uncharted 4 (among other games) hits shelves.

Thank you, well said :)

Just accept ps3 limitations is real and move on. 512 MB of RAM isn't gonna change itself. You can expect them to magically release a patch to make everything load faster for ps3 when I'm sure this game is probably maxing it out.

I bet the loading time on this would be pretty damn fast.

Im not saying there will be a magical fix for the ps3 loads but they can change mobs hp or spawns or make dailys gives more mark bills.There are a lot of options to make the hunts a better experience

*Throws money at screen*

My cousin plays on PS3. Yesterday he bought his oil and is now 1 log into getting his sands. He spends 2 hours on hunts daily. I asked him about any issues and he said other then starting a dungeon he has none. So I wonder what all the PS3 complaints are about. He also plays wireless and the only content he has not completed yet is t8/t9.

It's not really different for PC users aswell. Marks keep disappearing among the zerg so you're 80% of the time moving around trying to be able to see the boss, not even under where it's suposed to be. If you're a caster it's even worse.

Somebody needs to make this happen. A skin, mod, or something that turns the instanced fights like this into this type of splendor.

This is not against you... This is a mistake on SE's part.

But don't play on a PS3 and expect to be able to do half the content in an MMO. The PS3's specs couldn't run a 10 year old MMO efficiently I'm honestly surprised it doesn't explode when you log on (only reason it doesn't is because despite how good the world looks (it really does) they use super low resolution textures.

Hell the PS4 is likely pushing it's limits.

There is nothing they can do to make a MMO run effectively on the PS3 unless we go back to the stone age.

They should have never released it on PS3 and doing so is only causing players who bought into "14 on the PS3!?!?" to suffer for it.

How awesome would it be if they put the 8bit fights into the golden saucer to play for fun? I'd play the hell out of those

No one here is in a position to tell anyone that the fix is going to cost them $400 dollars. If the game is on ps3 the ps3 players have every expectation to be able to play.

Does he have a solid state drive? The ps3 versions performance seems to greatly rely on the quality of the hard drive in the system. Over the years they manufactured them using different drives and some users done an after-market upgrade. This is why there is a lot of variation in performance.
