Hunts Experience Post Hot Fix

[Falcus]

The system seems even worse after the hotfix tbh.
I have even less motivation to do it as it seems like an even bigger waste of time right now.

Right now all SE is telling us is to say fuck you to the rest of the community and keep NM to yourself.
Right now just found Naul myself on Hyperion, 1 other person there then a BRD comes along and claims it. I figured I'd be "nice" so I took agro and reset it 5+ times until there was a relatively large group there where I just decided screw it it can die now.

Yeah... me letting other people get there resulted in me getting 1 seal and no weekly hunt completion. Good going, I should have just killed it when only 3 of us were there.

For what it's worth I have a feeling the changes to s ranks haven't gone through. They still seem to be dying as quick as before the hotfix, and they also still seem to be suffering from culling issues. The first could just be because there's more people doing them now, but I thought the culling was supposed to be fixed now.

Oh god now that's just sucky for a Rank S monster with everyone present and still no full credit. I was under the impression this would only happen if you're missing members as it was happening yesterday our party would get to an A rank and we would have one or two people who couldn't make it fast enough to the mob before it was zerged, rest us would only get 12 seals.

It's extremely hard to get your whole party zoned in and to the mob in time before it dies.

It is just too badly zerged. And with the mobs playing the disappearing trick, sometimes you can;t even hit it. I got spells interupted mid cast too.

anyhow I'm not trying to rag on ya or anything

You clearly are trying to, or else you wouldn't have made a mention of it.

I do visit the forums often but I'm usually a silent observer and so yes you're right I'm one of those people who does not create threads on the regular.

There's a first time for everything. You live and you learn and that's alright with me.

There....all fixed

Also I do agree with you in that that HP should have been proportionate to that of the server population. Maybe if this were the case the change might have been noticeable. But idk how doable that is or isn't.

If anyone reading the notes, B and A is NOT meant for multiple parties. So no one is obligated to "Wait" for you. Making a system where waiting for the entire server to bog down the server would be incompetent on SE side.
Im not saying I always get to the NMs, or get full point because I dont, and I personally hate that progression is based on it.
If they removed progressive items or we just wait till 2.4 when Sand/Oils are old, then hunts will be what its suppose to be.
People will ignore these NMs and only the ones that care will gather their closest friends/LS/FC to join them. Just like Fates.


Just like the phrase "gun dont kill people, people kill people" Hunts is not the problem, people are.

"gun dont kill people, people kill people" Hunts is not the problem, people are.

Yes you're right but like I said you can't force players to behave and play nice nice with one another. A lot are not willing to share.

I really would hate any sort of additional caps or lockouts due to almost everything which capped or locked out, but I do have there's nothing in hunts atm which forces players to practice self control because seal accumulation is limitless.

[Malamasala]

I don't see why anyone is surprised. This is one of the only two open world results you can get, everyone throwing a fit over good drops. The alternative would have been everyone ignoring it for bad drops. And the solution is instances through duty finder, which is what we already had and people complained they wanted something different from.

More or less this is the result of people asking for "please shoot me in the head" and SE did as they said, and now are getting complaints that it hurt. Stupidity is not something SE can take responsibility for, even when they attempt to appeal to it.

[kuikui]

There is only one solution to this and it is simply to cap the seals per day or per week. The rushers can spam their cap and others can wait a day or two and reach the cap casually.

After the Hotfix, the Elites are still not visible 100% of the time. The ones that I haven't been able to see are always the ones in Mor Dhona. I guess because of the heavy population, but even if there aren't a bunch of people at the hunt site, the Elite is still not visible. I missed out on the S & A rank Elite there because it was invincible. People in my party were complaining about the same thing.

Also, it turns out that the B rank Elite is still soloable. I managed to kill one after being attacked by it doing Beast Quest in The Mines. It takes a lot longer to do it, but can still be killed by doing it yourself. Although I don't think every Job can do it. The previous day I saw a Monk try killing the same Elite, but was about to die before I came and took control of it and helped him out. As a tank it's doable, but I don't know about the other jobs. Also, I don't know about how high your iLevel should be to solo it as I am at the moment iLevel 93 Tank.

Ultimately that is what it comes down to as it seems.

Most ps3 and some ps4 (and even some pc) users whom I'm friends with have not been able to keep up and participate in the hunts due their load times.

I love playing on my ps4 but for doing hunts I have to make sure I'm using my pc due this very issue.

It's aggravating.
