Hunts are FIXED now. Thank you SE.

Is anyone hoping for a ninja nerf? Or is it unlikely?

Omg ninja isn't even out yet! :P

Really though I hope they increased the daily marks or... something... anything other than just this. 0n0

I think the bigger issue that many people have (ignoring the clusterf*** of a rewards system), is that people shouldn't have to be playing during off-peak hours to enjoy content provided by the game.

Yeah, I know people are enjoying it during peak hours as well; but, I feel like it should be something that anyone should be capable of enjoying at any given time.

If frontlines will scale down if not enough people are playing, I can't imagine it's any harder to scale hunts to how many people are fighting a single spawn...

was there always an allied seal cap or no? I can't remember but it says XXX/4000 now so maybe? but even then thats a huge cap more than myth...

edit: ah okay looked at my old screenies and nm nothing changed... this is sad and didn't fix anything.... -.- so doubt I will be doing much more of hunts then the occasional random be in right place at right time hunts.... ugh

Considering Ninja won't even be in the game until 2.4 I'd say it's unlikely. Why nerf it already?

I actually like the Atma farming aspect as well, as it's one of the very few true grinding MMORPG traditions left in the game. I can certainly agree with the aspect of coming across the hunt elites as being an awesome and fun experience... but only when it's done properly. I'd wager that a majority of the player base don't even know what at least 5 of the elites have for special abilities (or at least don't understand what they do or have not experienced them first-hand).

When you have half/most of the server showing up to simply kill a B rank 9/10 times, or the entire server showing up for an A and S rank, it kinda kills the whole fun aspect of it after the first few times. If you prefer this facerolling zerg-fest aspect of the hunt, instead of the intended way of fighting them and getting through their mechanics, then I guess you really would love the way it is now. I'm fairly confident that the majority of the playerbase is not with you on that one, if so.

Where in the world would I have time to look at the abilities of the elites? I have arguably the most important job in that of my party..healing the invisible hp of my party members when they are already full. I have a complex rotation to execute, and if I screw up in any way or form I risk the ire of my party for not getting the full credit for seals. Its an incredibly complex rotation and it goes like this

Divine seal -> Swiftcast--> Medica 2-->Presence of Mind-->Medica-->Medica-->Medica-->......

Some elites, even S rank, have a special flickering ability that makes them disappear from your screen but I can still continue this rotation. After the mark dies and we get full credit, I get an awesome fuzzy feeling inside and I feel like I have accomplished something important!

Most the people that are accused of cheating actually record the kill times and know when to be back in the area for the re-spawn. This is learning the mechanic properly, not cheating.

Uhuu sure! And the monster names and positions showing on their maps is also a proper mechanic.
Also having a program tell you when you're near the monster is also proper mechanic.

I've saw screenshots and I've been in many Hunt patys to kinda get a feel that not so many actually only use the available mechanics without any 3rd programs.

Anyways with this "patch" the poor will stay poor and the rich will get richer.
All I've wanted was to see this daily hunt mark increase... "Sigh"

[Wulfyn]

So now I finally got weekly done and now I know whats wrong with weeklies. No wonder its difficult to get weeklies and no wonder why you have farming hordes. "Stares at SE".

[Warlyx]

I rarely post in the forums, but when I do I make it worthwhile.



Thanks for making this decision much easier for me and my friends SE. Truly, it's appreciated.

vote with your wallet is the only way.

Our hunt group used this site: http://thehunt.tk/sessions.php for said purpose. Also remembering all possible spawnpoints for marks makes scouting alot more easier than running maps aimlessly, and when one of your group members find a mark post pos only in party/FC chat and pull soon as last member is near the mark because there is high propability that someone else will arrive on that same spot sooner or later and brings the horde along them. Oh and make sure your group has a tank to secure threat on it so nobody can reset it if and when that zerg arrives. This whole hunting thing requires alot of time if you want to get alot of seals everyday so if you only plan to do hunts for few hours your only option sadly is to join big hunt LS and leech off from it instead doing with your 8man party.

So what this states to me with the amount of anti atma feedback and negative feedback towards hubts is that Yoshi doesn't listen to feedback from users. He just goes with a belief that if people are using those systems in great numbers then it's not broken. I disagree but kinda got to the stage where I know these things will never change so I'll just keep playing the way I like and put up with long queues.

I dont care what the heck they do to hunts. Nerf it for all I care, but for the love of god atleast fix the display priorities so it doesn't disappear to the void when a million people show up.
