Hunts are FIXED now. Thank you SE.

[Ashkendor]

What he means is that it currently take more than two weeks to get a kill due to the Hunt mobs getting zerged down so you cannot complete it on a weekly basis.

No it doesn't. Get in a party. Have your entire party be at the weekly mark. Problem solved.

I've managed to get mine every week.

Remember kids, pull and reset the local threat to Eorzea! Save a life today!

I have no issue with the fix. I'm pleased. now move on

[Aylis]

OMG! Thank you SOOO much SE for addressing the real issue first with hunts! Here my small group of friends were worried the pesky promises of increasing solo and small party hunt marks to make them viable as content for us to do was going to take our time away from playing other games!

So I guess this is working as intended and the purpose or hunts is to coordinate how to keep monsters alive and a race to get credit for doing something easy. That sounds like fun.

Here are some similar activities the people at SE responsible for how this works might enjoy coordinating:
1) Show up at a classroom full of second graders with a big tray of cupcakes with bright colored icing and say "Everyone who knows the answer to 'What's 1 plus 1?' can have one!". Hand over the 15-cupcake tray to the nearest kid for them to distribute to the 30 kids in the classroom fairly and walk out, confident you've just made some kids' day brighter.
2) Return the next day with another platter and say "Gee I'm sorry I realized yesterday I didn't have enough for everybody. So here's 15 more!" Hand them to the same kid for distribution and walk out, with the sound of what must be cries of joy behind you.

I figured they would at least raise daily mark's to 5 seals each or something. 1 seal is not even worth the effort. Unbelievable.

From today's patch:

The following change has been made to “The Hunt”.

The Elite Mark Bill has been adjusted so that when it is updated the same monster will not be the targeted mark two weeks in a row.

Out of all the things that needed fixing, this was prioritized. Thank you very much SE. I was sick and tired of having Naul 2x in a row as my weekly elite mark.

Quit your crying. There was NO REASON to start this thread, because they already announced two weeks ago now that this fix was coming.


Don't go complaining about stupid things when you don't even know what's happening! Change your attitude! That also goes for all the people responding sarcastically!

Seem likes a legitimate reason to shut the game down for three hours.

I`m very pleased with this update.

Sorry you were given 3 hours of your life back.


Look:

Naul's back! And this time...it's personal.

Just a heads up...the system is working as intended and that this is not a bug that Naul came up as the Elite Mark again this week. It was just randomly selected.

However, even though the system is functioning properly, the development team plans to make adjustments so that the same monster cannot be selected two weeks in a row.

While I'm at it...this is from the most recent live letter.

Q18: Currently, the elite marks die instantly even after the recent adjustment. Are there any plans to make further adjustments?

A18: We are currently looking into ways of addressing this issue without simply increasing the HP of the marks.

People need to just chill the hell out and play the game.

I finally realize what the reason is. Could it be possible that all of our grievances are ignored because its in English? Perhaps it is time to flood the Japanese forums with google translated rage.

Perfect and flawless I tell you, perfect and flawless!
