this is getting Ridiculous

[Wulfyn]

Hmmm just now, still needing the weekly, sure enough some one found it shouted. I shouted that I still needed weekly but guess what? Damn things dead before I get to it. Thank you very much you jerk off mark hunters. On another note I did find Naul by himself right outside Dragonhead. Apparently all the ppl running down the road did not notice him.

Hell with it, he's mine and anyone else shows up they can have their shots too. Anyone else shows up and tries to reset, you get a GM call. I ended up just tanking it 2nd half of its life so the 2 others that noticed Naul could get their hits. That's what you get when you don't even allow someone to get their weekly. F U right back at ya.

Keep in mind, after you down a monster it may take around 30 seconds to receive credit for it. That's how it is for me and a few friends after we downed a few S rank mobs so don't teleport out until you receive credit first (until it shows up on your chat log).

> find mob -> call your party over -> put up a shout to people in the zone who're also searching -> wait 3-5 minutes or until ~20 people have shown up (allows for 2-3 parties) -> pull mob -> do your thing, get your credit -> (optionally) if someone's shouting omw still consider slowing down dps to let them try for credit too

On my server it used to be:
find mob -> join up with 3-4 players who found it at the same time -> shout location -> Hunt LS member in zone repeats to Hunt LS -> 100+ members from Hunt LS teleport in to nearest Aetheryte -> all Hunt LS members wait very politely until everyone in the LS has arrived (usually within one minute) -> mob is engaged -> mob dies ~10 secs later -> you get one seal

But really, now it goes:
find mob -> join up with 3-4 players who found it at the same time -> don't tell anyone -> take 1 min killing mob as others join in as they pass -> Hunt LS member spots and notifies Hunt LS -> 100+ members from Hunt LS teleport in to nearest Aetheryte (usually within one minute) -> mob is dead before they arrive -> you get 10 seals -> /sh channel is filled with abuse

Although, really, 90% of them go:
Hunt LS member finds mob -> notifies Hunt LS and doesn't at all /sh -> 100+ members from Hunt LS teleport in to nearest Aetheryte -> all Hunt LS members wait very politely until everyone in the LS has arrived (usually within one minute) -> mob is engaged -> random soloer sees the horde and shouts location -> mob dies ~10 secs later -> you turn up after hearing the late shout to see a hundred people teleporting out

So yeah, I now ignore Hunt shouts and the DoomTrain.

Lol @ all these entitled players. Stop trying so hard to convert other players to abide by your rules that was only designed in your LS/FC. No one need to be courteous at all. They find it, they have all rights to kill it without any hesitation. The way you want to progress in the game has nothing to do with other players. Your money, your subscription, your play time.

I belong to a hunt LS and I do my reports pretty often. If I don't get there in time, OH WELL WOOPIE DO! Life goes on. No need to flame and bash on other players because they pulled early or whatsoever unless they belong to the same LS/FC. Flaming/bashing/harassing only show how low of a player or a person you are.

If a player reset and its causing you to get partial to no credit, then for god sake, report them. It is a form of harassment and it's against the ToS. Remember you're paying for your own god damn subscription, not them.

The train, or horde is how a majority do hunts on Excalibur. I don't see it stopping anytime soon unless they change how hunts work. Hopefully, there will be a middle ground for small groups and a zerg in the near future so they can all benefit from this content.

Do you actually have any ideas though why there is a lockout in the first place or do you just hate it because you can't rush everything like the hunt ?

So they can halt our progresses.

Too bad it makes content feel like a job and makes you unable to play with your friends. Didn't you guys learn anything from Coil lockout?

A job? Work != Job. Plenty of enjoyable things involve work. That doesn't make them a job, or make them even feel like it. If you think it feels like a job now, I doubt you would like how it feels if it wasn't locked and was adjusted for that fact.

If it wasn't locked, I would be able to do it when I want and how much I want. There is not "OMG, I need to log to do roulette today!"

Jeez, is it so fun for you guys to now have nothing to do during the week cause you already did that content? Is it so fun to not be able to play with your friends cause you already did that instance? Is it so fun having 6 PF Coil groups looking for members and not be able to join any of them because you already cleared coil on the first day?

Hey Yoshi, I have an idea, why not put under lockout the ability to login into the game too? This way people won't be able to Hunt all day! BRILLIANT!

This is a very entertaining thread to read while on break at work.

It's fun for me because I don't have to grind it many times in a single week just to get something to drop. It's fun for me because I can go on and do other things during the week. People don't truly understand what would have to happen to unlock the content while it's still current.
