I know it is always bad after any msq that involves gear but dang, 250+ in my last hunt A rank group? Horrible lag and congestion, people so obsessed they map bosses before, hit once then groups move to next boss or zone and when the maingroup finally gets there, the boss is almost dead or dead upon landing. I'd like to see world visit off for hunts. Becoming impossible. Any other suggestions that are viable and not smart alec would be sweet.

it's only like this because it's a new patch with new tome mats and hunt trains are an easy way to get tomes to buy to craft or to sell. it will die down in a while.

While it's usually at its worst when a streamer is attending the train, school has let out for summer in many places. We won't be getting much relief until they go back to school.Quote:

I’ve been quitting a bunch of hunt trains lately because lag and congestion made me miss several marks. Maybe travel priority should be given to people playing a char on the world/dc where the hunt happens.
-
06-04-2023, 08:37 PMJojoyaThat's an unfortunate side effect of the patch being released at the same time school is getting out for summer. Now that Savage has started, the attendance should go back down among the raiders who don't normally attend trains regularly. Diablo IV and FFXVI should also be big distractions for part of the general player base over the next month, hopefully thinning out some of the train crowds.Quote:

Hunts should never have devolved to the point where you can zerg them. Killing a mob within a few seconds is terrible design and should be discouraged. People who travel should get an hour long debuff or something. Change my mind.

Or SE needs to change the reward structure to make them less lucrative. The rewards had been based on players being limited to their homeworlds and the number of hunts that could be spawned per day. Now that players are free to attend all hunts within their home data center (and even cross data center to some degree), that's 6-8 times the rewards to earn.
Attendance patterns over the course of a patch cycle would indicate that tomestones are the driving force behind the attendance. Would players still bother if all they were getting for their 15-20 minutes was a total of 12 Comedy, 24 Causality, 36 Poetics and 48 hunt currency? You could go do a level 90 dungeon in less time for more Comedy and Causality.
Things aren't going to change unless SE either reduces the rewards or completely redesigns how The Hunt work. -
12-01-2023, 12:08 AMKenZentraI agree, they should have the Hunt mob increase in HP depending on how many players are engaged with it with a stacking buff so that it takes at least a few minutes to kill it, it would also dissuade bringing an entire army of players from other servers I think.Quote:

A-train is the worst invention ever in this game. Change my mind.
>300 people teleporting around + server congestion slowing it down, with everyone barely able to hit the mob which gets killed in 5 seconds is not a proper game design.
It's a worse version of whac-a-mole.
Stop DC Travellers, or even Wanderers within DC from hitting any hunt marks, like legendary gathering nodes, and strengthen the A marks every even number expansion to match the IL inflation. -

I do think Hunts are a bit overdue for an update in multiple areas
would be nice if they worked like Eureka NM (not bozja with the wait time) -
01-23-2024, 11:45 AMJojoyaAre you referring to spawn conditions or the level sync?Quote:

01-23-2024, 12:08 PMNekoMataMataThat would defeat part of the purpose of DC travel.Quote:
