I just want to convey my thanks to the development team for adding hunts to the game. It's rewarding to work and coordinate with so many great people towards something we all benefit from. I look forward to what you will bring out next to challenge the community.
To Dev Team: Thank you for adding hunts to the game!

I honestly think that Hunts as they are currently implemented are crap content.
Only B ranks after the recent changes are at an acceptable level since they're basically always available to kill. -

kinda mad me sad.
Also the timers really kind of silly, 1, 3 and 24.
Fast food content. After I got my first piece of 110 gear,
I couldn't wait to SCoB with it, then i realized that SCoB wasn't happening anymore.
C'est la vie. -

Sorry but the current Hunt system for rank A and S is pure total crap. Zerg fest bonanza. The only "teamwork" you ever seen is making sure people be civil with each other, and please don't pull early. It's a great "very casual" content except the reward is too good and everyone else is doing nothing but Hunt. If you want to talk about great content, Yoshi should copy what FFXI did with "Voidwatch" system. It's like the Hunt except you pop the NMs with your alliance, expending key item (aka levee allowance), and you must work as a team or you will not be able to clear it (at least this is how it works at its launch).

Uh oh, here comes the anti-hunt crowd to destroy the perfectly good hunt thread!

lmao this is such a bait thread. Way too obvious OP, but +1 for trying.

Wait...is this sarcasm? i can't tell here, is this serious!? tell me what's going on here!

Despite the obvious sarcasm from the OP.
The hunts are fine. Evidence is in threads like this:
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...cs#post2337985
People actually work together pool hunt data and determine best ways to get hunt credits. But don't tell the hunt haters that. -

09-11-2014, 06:53 AMFendredActually, I wasn't being sarcastic. Some of those S ranks benefit from having a lot of people working together. Get a group of fishermen and you can pop some of those S ranks in their respective windows in a very short time. Also, I don't know if coordinated jumping parties actually work to get Safat to spawn, but I've seen plenty of those.Quote:

At the very least you should be happy that there is some content where social ramifications can be felt for doing something stupid outside of the current Coil iteration. Old school MMORPGs didn't turn people into raiders overnight. Content that exposes people on the same server to one another on a regular basis is a good start.Quote:

I've had some suggestions like using dungeons, but really just something different then the drama zerg prone FATE like content would be awesome, I'm not a fan of that system.
Entirely possible so I'm not out for hope but I'd also like to see a leve or some other kind of self contained yet world content for monsters (hunts using a riddle leve quest or similar system, monsters found are your monsters and your challenge, not the swarm's). -

I love this brand of sarcasm.

09-11-2014, 08:45 AMBillyBones
Well, lets see.
-Forces people to join zerg crowds
-Causes shitstorms everytime someone is too late to the hunt or someone pulls too early - extremely annoying seeing all that monkeys throwing insults at each other in the chatlog
-Not playable on ps3 or weak PCs
-Is the only way to upgrade your gear to 110
Obviously, OP was being sarcastic. But yeah, hunts are the worst thing they ever added to this game. Or as AVGN would say - "WHAT THE HELL WERE THEY THINKING?" -
09-11-2014, 11:37 AMLuvbunny
The HUNT has to be one of the absolute worst addition to this game... it's beyond dumb. I mean, if you are going to make the daily hunt for more casual corners, then for the love of god, make those damn FATE spawned every 10 minutes.... Every FATE should be on 5-10 mnts timer, really no reasons for making people wait forever. It's log and play, so if you aim for faster pace game then stand by your words. Or blatantly copy Voidwatch from FFXI, it works well over there and it's your own damn game, own it, use it, make it work.
And please add daily dungeon and trials as part of your Hunt, the Duty Finder is pretty dead as doornails. If you know what's good for this game, add more incentives for people to do Cape Westwind and the other main missions mode. And I mean it by MORE incentives. Even if it is 10 allied seals for doing any one of those daily. If your goal is to attract new subscriber, then make sure those players can complete main mission. STOP putting everything on The HUNT and focus on other contents that are DEAD because of the hunt. -

Hunt fer lief....
Waiting for SE to add hunts in real life....!
You know, so we can earn Oils and oil up our RL friends!
And then, we can take the sands and make a beach!
Then lay on the beach, and get good suntans cause we are nicely oiled.

I think this is a good plan. You might think that SE can't add hunts in real life, but I believe people that say that are just thinking too small.
