Syrcus Tower was a terrible/irresponsible ....

I imagine he's talking specifically about the FFXIV APP and it's newly popular 'Radar' feature, which appears to show all enemy locations on your map. You can imagine what this does to Hunts.

It's not harsh at all to label that cheating. It's like playing hide and seek using satellite imagery.

Precisely.

Also, while i know people use it for turn 5, because i can hear it in voice chat whenever i use it for coil, most wouldnt consider it cheating. But literally it counts down until divebombs occur and also calls out twister. That completely takes away from the players need to pay attention for those mechanics and does that work for you.

Not sure what else you can call using a machine to do some of what the game expects you to do as a player.

Just so happens that most people who do endgame and endgame only, not only use the FFXIV APP, but also cheat, more often than not are very rude, and think they are better than other people simply because they spend all of their in game time doing just 1 thing that "requires skill" as they put it, and complain out their arse..

Just so happens you haven't met everyone who does end game. You're making sweeping assumptions about people. Too much saltiness for end gamers.

If people called out marks and didn't pull early, there wouldn't be an issue. That's what Hunt Linkshells are for.

Do you have any actual proof to those claims or are you just going to be extremely hypocritical, using sweeping generalizations and making general assumptions based on anecdotal experiences ?

No oil/sands should be a weekly lock if you get it, some of us that have terrible luck with rng still have not and may never receive it so why are some of you so darn greedy.
Maybe i misread what you have said but to have no lock, the same people can always get oil/sands over and over again and tough luck for the rest of us
Do you not remember that this was a drop in coil. Myself i am liking St and there is nothing enjoyable at all about hunts, not the Elite ones anyway

[Gilthas]

Then dont do hunts if you dont know how to enjoy them. You should always welcome variety into an MMO. There are -Multiple- people playing it and the more variety the better. You got your ST with only 3 tanks and your faster queues and all that candy instant stuff you could ask for. Why on earth are you complaining??

There are people who like to get away from dungeons and enjoy the scenery of Eorzea and this is the perfect content to do such.

I F#%$ING love it. Just need to get the ..... people from stop doing it so i can enjoy it more.

See, the problem with your argument is that you could already enjoy the scenery before hunts came along (I know that I did).

I don't want content promoting crap gameplay just for the sakes of variety.

Why are you waiting and doing nothing in hunts?

We run around places and scout for marks all day long.

Yes, because running circles around a zone(s) is a dramatic improvement to what I described! I guess we just have different definitions of boring.

not sure if troll thread

[Orophin]

The biggest issue with Hunts is that standing around doing nothing while you wait for one to pop is boring as hell. You're basically not playing the game. I'm certainly not happy with this "playstyle" having found it's way to FFXIV.

You do realize that the people that were just "standing around doing nothing" in Mor Dhona all the time are now the ones out and about doing hunts?

[therpgfanatic]

This is a good idea. Well thought out and reasonable. Let's hope SE realizes it too
