whats so hard about adding more hunting log?

yes, we have the daily ones but im also talking about the job specific hunts that you press H button with. why have they stopped at 50?
we got new GC rank, why not new GC hunting log too?

i dont claim to know how to code a game, but cmon, this cant be THAT hard

I guess since hunting logs are only for classes? They probably trying to do away with classes.

I think it's because it'd be redundant to have both daily hunts and hunting logs.

There is also the possibility that when you get to level 50 you have much more available to obtain exp anyway, like the many roulettes players can do, not to mention PotD. Adding more hunting logs would be nice but it would be difficult to attach a worth while award to it all.

I’m leaning towards agreeing with Neri—the Hunting Log was primarily a class thing, and the development team has stated multiple times that they are trying to move away from the class system in FFXIV (notice how none of the new jobs adding HW or SB have had starting classes). So it makes sense for them to not add on to the Hunting Log. I personally also find it redundant to have daily hunts plus Hunting Logs at level 50+. The GC ranks seem to be moving towards focus on Squadrons, not on fulfilling GC Hunting Log requirements.

Also, as I progress through HW, I find there's typically a side quest every step of the way that involves killing every type of mob (of appropriate level) in the zone.
Hunts were ok at getting players familiar with zones and mob locations and all, but it became less necessary for that, too (especially with dailies unlocked pretty early into HW).

I'd enjoy it, for options, but I guess it just got folded in elsewhere.

It wouldn’t be a terrible thing to add the hunt bills to the hunt log interface one day, which would be tidier and avoid the problem of it being a completely redundant menu once you finish them all.

If the hunting log was reworked into a bestiary mimicking some features from Bravely Default, I could see this working.

But as it is hardly a popular and most requested feature (the hunting log revamp, that is), I doubt SE would give it a second look.

Maybe in some future where FF14 is still successful five years later and they just start on concentrating on adding little things here and there.

Well being it is a ARR it was a form of tool to help level up before the challenge log or hunts were introduced. People complained so the daily and weekly hunts are the results. It does not take a genius to figure it out....one time log or daily and weekly with added benefits....yeah... I like the hunt the better. You could also do squadron command if you want to get some XP for a specific class that way too. As for seals...really they are not hard to get...if anything people complain why higher levels lot for gear when they don't need it...hint hint.

On the side note, code takes time and I rather have them focus on new content then old -.-

Since there are so many other ways to gain exp, what if they updated it for levels 51-70 to kill (X) amount of monsters and you would get some for sure drops instead of just RNG when your trying to grind for materials. Maybe it could be a weekly reset too? Maybe get like 10-50 of an item from the monster you are slaying?

I would just like them to roll the Allied Seals into Centurio Seals...or other way around. Maybe even re-vamp the ARR daily hunts so that they aren't so annoying(the FATE ones, the others aren't bad).

No point in having both hunting log and daily hunt. I view the hunting log as the tutorial to daily hunts.

Now what I would like is to have a tab in the hunting log with all of my daily hunts instead of having to open items.

Honestly I viewed it as a "here's some EXP to start earning as you start your new class".

Wish it was available for things like Dark Knight.

How about adding lvl 60-70 leves.I found the large-scale ones very helpful. I hope they add it in the future.Instead of taking 10 allowances it would take 5.

I believe they are more or less there to provide another means of exp for classes you have under level 50. They also help new players get familiar with the outside world. To be honest, the only hunting log I've completed intentionally is with my first class to 50 which was ACN. CNJ is complete too, but by happenstance. I never actually went after any of mobs.

Another thing that swayed me off of hunting logs was doing my zodiac relic. Those stupid books really got to me with everything I had to go out and kill. I don't miss them, and rather enjoy seeing them completed. I do the same with mark bills. I pick them up, and kill the mobs if I happen to run into them while doing whatever. Only outside mobs I actively hunt are B-S ranks, or those unfortunate to have the mats I need.

Probably the fact that they are easily ignored and people did them mostly for achievements/underwhelming ring. They're not needed as a steroid for leveling as they once were.

Yep. I would love battlecraft 60-70 leves. Gives me a reason to work on some combat jobs to 70 (as in the DPS). But it's more likely we'll get a new deep dungeon which will allow it instead. Though I do believe variety is the spice of life.

Nothing's hard about it. But the Class Hunt Log is effectively an obsolete feature. It was replaced by other things and there's no reason to spend more development effort on it.

I wouldn't be surprised if it was removed entirely at some point.

Pretty sure that Yoshida said that they are done with battlecraft leves past 60. They prefer to spend the development time one something else.

Honestly, I never understand their reasoning. Apparently making story for a short leve, doable in five or so minutes (seriously, who expects a top-notch story from a repeatable leve?!), is too much of a pain, but doing a story for a one-time quest that doesn't even give enough of a reward to be of value to anyone BUT the ones after the story (a group which most players just don't belong to) is perfectly good way to spend the development time...

I think Yoshida just doesn't understand that leve's were done for experience, not for the story, and the kind of "It's a hunting season for Marlboros, so bring me five cadavers!" is more than enough.

Yeah, like the beat tribe repeatable quests, the story is very shallow (though it does attune well with the main overarching beast tribe story). Can go even shallower for it. Just a bit of flavour text, tell me what to do, I'll be happy. I'm with you, I don't get their reasoning either.
