So resetting's against the rules now?

I guess it could be considered harassment. They should fix it so it doesn't reset but goes to the second person on the enmity table.

Or they could allow hunts to chase around the whole zone. It would be very interesting to see. xD
(People can still make the kill using ranged or running to it with a mount.)

But ya, losing track of the target and switching to the 2nd on the enmity list would be better. And allow the mob to move around the whole zone without resetting, just losing track of the 1st enmity after a certain distance, then switch and so on. The only actual reset would happen is there is no 2nd on the enmity list.

This could apply for all mobs actually. So you can avoid encounters as usual by running away, but if a group attacks it, it is no longer possible to reset it as the enmity would jump to #2 and so on.

The problem with that is that it can be abused as a tactic to spread damage without actually really needed a real enmity strategy. Any player can just spank the monster until being in danger to die, then run away to lose aggro and the monster would just switch to next player and so on..

I would rather like all Hunt monsters (and why not Fate bosses as well) to have a special instant "pull target back to him + few second Bind" casted on any player about to "reset" the monster. (Only applicable to a player that has actually engaged the monster, not to someone who was just running by without any engagement and got aggro by sight)

With such Hunt monster behaviour it would be impossible to reset the monster and anyone who decide to engage it will either succeed or die (no escape if they're on top of enmity list). As bonus it gives a more dangerous feeling when engaging a Hunt monster.

So I should I have just created a whole new thread while one is already existing to post my comment?
There is already enough "cloned" threads floating around, there is no need to create a new one when one is already existing.

It didn't add anything that wasn't already said and you're replying to a person that posted two years ago, who is probably not even going to look at this topic anymore.

It's not like you had a new topic that fits the thread but is not part of the discussion. Your post was literally just a reply. A reply to a post from 3 years ago, to a person who hasn't been on these forums in 2 years at all.

Not to mention that the whole topic is not relevant anymore - when was the last time you saw someone reset a hunt?
Actually, when was the last time you saw more than a handful of people do hunts at all? Not since 3.0, if it's anything like most servers.

What I would rather have is if someone does it, the boss grabs them, kills them, deletes their character, and instantly bans them from the game for a year. Harsh, but you have to admit it would really stop it. And all of this would be automated by a move cast by the boss which triggers the SE servers to initiate a ban on the target hit.

Well at least you're not in charge of that. Talk about nanny state.

That would be bad since resetting a monster also happen accidentally since there is no visible max range. (and also a disproportionate punishment)

However only insta-killing a player (who engaged the monster) just about to reset a boss could be a simple solution to implement for the Dev.

Talk about nanny state.

You gonna call Pokémon Go nanny state then since if you're on an Android without a valid device ID you automatically get banned, or if you move too fast that it assumes GPS spoofer, you get automatically banned, etc?

Disproportionate maybe, but I believe in extremely harsh punishments to act as a deterrent. Though killing the player who engaged it might be a better option, though I still think there needs to be something like an experience point loss and lose a few levels.
