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.

There's no such thing as an "early pull." This was developed as a thought by the people. It is not a real thing. If my group is there, I have no reason to wait, and it's not an early pull for my group. Not my fault people didn't react fast enough. Say what you will, but I'm not a people pleaser, and it's not my problem.

People like you that hunt are scum its called being polite to your fellow players

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.

Actually it did, as nowhere in this thread I've seen someone mention the "pull+bind" monster skill I was talking about. Unless you're talking about another topic but then I'm not omniscient and I cannot know every post existing in every thread on the forum.

My post was not just a reply, only the first part was. And while I don't know if the poster I was replying to is still active or not, it's not important as it is a forum, a public discussion and when replying on someone else comment, you're actually participating with anyone else who wish to participate and potentially answer on what you just said, and not just who you were replying to.

The second part was independant of the reply and a proposed solution discussing Hunt and Fate boss reset. And while I have no personal experience about Hunt mark being resetted because I just returned to the game 2 months ago, I still do experience once in a while Fate boss being resetted and it's very annoying when you just spend 20 minutes on a boss to see it resetted. (such as the The Eyes Have It cyclop boss fate on Coerthas Central Highlands).
So it appears there is still a potential issue with open-world Boss-like monsters being resetted, and with 4.0 on the way, and hopefully more active players, reset issues might make a more active come back.

As for what led me to this thread in the first place was today following comment:

Keep in mind there is no such thing as pre-pulling. SE has gone on to say that once a hunt is found, it is up to the player(s) if they want to wait for others, but are under no obligations to do so as it falls under the same category as any other open world mob. This means they are free game. On the flip-side, resetting hunts is a report-able offense.

That shows that this thread is not as forgotten as you think since people actually refers to it.
And I choose to reply in this one because it is especially discussing about resets, and not about "early pull" like the one JunseiKei was replying in.

But enough of topic from me, so I'll leave it as that

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.
