Hunt pulling - Finding and Losing your prey and getting reported for it.

[JTribal]

Stuff

Start reporting the people that are resetting hunts, that is against the rules. Pulling them early is not (even though it's common courtesy to wait for a bit).

Maybe if Mr. Happy would stop talking for ten seconds he'd be able to get to the hunts on time. Seriously, he's not special, and if someone had told me I had to wait for that guy I would have pulled it just out of spite. Granted, I've never done that, but if he's going to abuse his "fame" by letting people harrass other players just to take advantage of it, that's a different story.

Provoke only puts you at the top of your own ptys hate list.

When I find a B I just pull it on PLD and spam flash until the mass mob of players come. Nobody can reset it with a 30 second head start on hate.

The only thing that I have left to say on this matter is:

SE, please please PLEASE f*cking DO something about this! Day after day goes by and they don't even acknowledge that there are issues. Does anyone know if the JP forums are blowing up this badly?

Firstly, I\\'m probably going to get flamed. My apologies to all.

But I\\'m just sharing my honest opinion.

I\\'ve read what the OP has stated and the abuse he went thru.

Just sharing my 2 cents worth...

1) If a said Hunt spawns, whoever is there, attacks it, claims as per normal, then the Horde appears, the tank provokes it, pulls it out of it\\'s spawn area in order to reset it but by doing this, it triggers all rewards to be void.
Do you think this idea is feasible?

2) When a Hunt spawns, there is a waiting period say 5 minutes before it is available to land the first blow. I know that this will populate the area and more than 50% won\\'t be able to see the Hunt but, in return, this gives a chance to those people who ran all the way, not to see it dead.
Do you think this is feasible?

I don't know why they didn't make this claim/credit system have it were it was a free company feature you chose the rank like normal and then chose how many players are going to participate for that nm it would scale up or down depending on the size of FC party then after you except its a locked party no one can be added. Once in the zone either have a system in place once the whole party is in the zone a timer will go off to spawn whatever NM somewhere in the zone or menu option to activate the hunt, but you have to find it still and shoot even after you defeat it give a rare chance to be given an item that would force spawn another nm maybe somewhere totally different zone and actually have to use that npc to help locate your next target.

If you are on the threat table, provoke works, at least on all that I have come across, the way I have found to counter this is just go as warrior, keep defiance on, and overpower like mad, if someone does get threat and start to pull it away, Holmgang then provoke and back to overpower. If the group is waiting on someone, but they see that it isn't going to be reset, they will unload on it so they can get their reward, because in the end, they don't care anymore about that person they were waiting on than you do.

Provoke does not work on Hunt mobs; they have the same resistance to it as FATE bosses (there's actually a little "Resist" pop-up text on the mob when you use it). It was done to prevent the issue of troll tanks provoking a FATE boss at 5% and resetting it; this adjustment was made towards the end of beta if I remember correctly (you actually could provoke them way back in the day). The OP likely pulled on a non-tank job, and the resetting tank was able to snap aggro over him fairly quickly is my guess.

1) i see people get really really angry, since it will make people need to wait the next respawn, worst i see some troll coming.

2) pointless if no one find it in the 5 minute anyone can pull.

actually all the trouble it's because they have try to please some player and make it like it's not a FATE, when the FATE system was perfect for this. what it's sad, it's with the FATE system they will be able to adjust the hp of the monster each time he is killed for make it harder in function of the number of people that did come kill it last time.
however it have a big flaws, why make a monster give 5 allied seal ask a whole alliance for kill it.

this whole mess it's really annoying, if they had only added S rank monster and use the FATE and leves for the other one... all of this will not be there.

I feel the Hunts content introduced was a wrong thing to do. It seems to be a wrongly calculated move. I'm hopeful Yoshi is looking at different ways to adjust this Hunts content. It should be enjoyed by everyone on an equivalent gaming experience.

A really big bad monster that goes around killing people? Imagine!
>.>

I'm not disagreeing, but the reason why their aggro radius is so small is because they don't want "innocents" to get randomly killed by them. That's what they were implying anyways and probably the same reason the tether exists.

I mean, big bad monster roaming killing people ok, but I'm not sure big bad monster being pulled around by a party of players that feel like trolling killing random level 20s by dragging telegraphs on top of them would be ok in their book considering the current design of hunts.

Mister happy is the Justin Beiber of FF XIV

In all seriousness we're gonna need the chat log from that day because odds are your "self defense" was degrading into flame wars that would have earned you a whack from the banhammer. And having evidence that disproves that would really help your case.
