Hunts were a terrible/irresponsible idea

[Clavaat]

Try to do some hunts and you'ill understand, you are simply doing nothing for hours until you or your LS find a mob for a 10 sec fight. that's not a content, even exploration log makes you play more.

I played FFXI. I know what this is. I knew what it was when I saw the explanation. So I avoided it, and will avoid it for awhile. Again, all part of the pattern.

[Noll]

No, it doesn't work, that's why this thread is 12 pages of people complaining at how terrible it is.
You got 500 points? Good for you, you must have had a lot of time to spend doing nothing but hunts all day while majority of people were at work and get home with only a little bit of playtime and got nothing.

No, you just contribuite, I did it for 3 to 4 hours, everyone in our group checked a different area, when we saw a named monster we called everyone and waited. If ppl tried to kill before the others came in, we tried to reset the mob. We also waited for ppl that werent in our party but were hunting like us, and we were sharing finding. It worked great. Other FC mates made over 1000 points + multiple books.


My personal complain is that it's too easy now to make sands of time, while I had only two in SCOB myself (you can get 1 sand per month if you share it with other 7 party members and you clear t9)

LMAO.

Every thread in this forum is 12 pages of whining, what the hell is your point? So in other words, since this thread has 12 pages of whining this automatically makes the OP correct? All of your views are subjective. If y'all have such great ideas for open world content, please by all means, go make your own MMO. I'm not against changes, like increasing the HP pools of these mobs significantly, but your argument is ridiculous. I worked 10hrs yesterday, came home and got more than 500 allied seals and a book drop.

12 pages of whine (no cheese), and the first 3 pages is complaining from the same 2 people, inflating this thread to sound worse than it actually is. For every person whining in here, there are 50 people in the game having fun with this system REGARDLESS if they get to every single hunt or not.

Some of the hardcores are worse than the casuals sometimes...

Here are a few fun and interesting facts:

"i110 gear is being handed out by hunts" - Guess what?! It was handed out by Myth pre 2.2. Yoshi even catered to the hardcores in 2.2 by locking out i110 behind coil for 3+ months. Mad that it's over? Everyone should have known it was going to happen eventually.

No amount of i110 is going to equal progression in 2nd turn, save for maybe T8. That is still gated by T5, and being good. Bad players are not going to be good with i110. Twin will still laugh at unweathered gear as twisters sweep them away.

Myth drops were sorely needed in the open world. I won't disagree the drops are too high, however. But I am tired of farming myth via the same dungeon's first 2 bosses. The 17 alexandrites I have gotten in the past 2 days love this. These hunts are EXACTLY what the upgraded relic quests needed.


Crap...there I go. Making too much sense again in a whine thread. Sorry Eekiki

You'll get full credit every time if you're in a party and they are all there dpsing it down.

You'll get full credit every time if you're in a party and they are all there dpsing it down.

But what about when the sheer number of people there prevents more than 1 or 2 of your party members from managing to target the thing in the first place?

[Dimitrias]

The hunting board should give us a pop item, we take to a spot and use it to spawn the mobs, with target lock on um just like they did with battle lev's.

I originally thought all elite marks would take a group to kill, but I was wrong. They should all require a group though.

I remember a time in ffxi, were everyone would go to that bcnm 20 zone when it was required to pass to get a boat ride to auht ugen. There was this huge line of people waiting for there turn to do it. It was the same in the chocobo stables, when they added raising chocobo's. I think I would still prefer to stand in a line and wait my turn instead of what we got.

Who knows maybe thers a way for pop items to work without a long line of people, idk.

LMAO more like making no sense? Your opinion is just as subjective.
I got home and was busy unlocking new content so I didn't have time to camp out every single elite monster.
Also I like to get at least 8 hours of sleep thanks.

Your reply can be summarized with "lol I got lots of seals and you didn't so you must be bad!" Move on sir.

We also waited for ppl that werent in our party but were hunting like us, and we were sharing finding. It worked great. Other FC mates made over 1000 points + multiple books.

You're making the assumption that everyone is as nice as your party and actually waits for people. On my server, no one waits for anyone.

it already does, the Treasure Map system works just fine.

Treasure maps don't drop sands of time - unless as of 2.3 they now actually do (I need confirmation on this).

This only shows how bad this is implemented. You shouldn't be able to get the sands of time that fast. If you really got 500 seals and a book in one day, the hunt is a bad joke.
