So buffing the reward, and nerfing the marks is the answer to fixing the Hunts?

[faris]

Oh i am sorry to be the bearer of bad news but theres content outside of hunts.
Or maybe you've been so submerged in this content you missed the part how it affected the rest of the game?

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but despite these new, amazing changes you love so much and cannot imagine possibly being a bad thing it'll still take you around a month on 32marks/day to get your vanity gear. And if you actually do parties, you'll see with increased competition with A marks just how much better post 2.35 was.

(Truth: I legit believe dailies needed to be buffed, the reward was pathetic. Just not at the expense of A and B marks. idek why you're so mad at people that gain their marks via grouping up with strangers, using linkshells, communicating and partying up but whatevs.)

The only people affected by this patch are the ones who spent their playtime grinding them.

Heres some news: that was the point of this patch. To stop the craziness! Go run some dungeons. Go raid. Go craft. Or if youre that pissed /logoff.

This gives space to other people to finally also go and have some hunting done instead of following the kill train and hoping to get a drop because hunts were near privatized by linkshells.


Theres my "logic" which you wont understand because you were too busy grinding hunts to realize how dead the rest of the game was becoming.

all 3 of my hunt LSs are still active. right now its about 30 minute downtime. is there something wrong with having to wait a couple hours and being able to do something in between hunts?

I'll probably be over it in a few days, it's just annoyed me a little because some players can't see that yes, the dailies are a positive change (Great!) but the elites have undergone a negative change (Boo.) and are pretty much calling the hunting system as a general thing massively improved when it isn't.

I am not mad at your zergrind fest. But it was also killing the game and making all other content pointless.

Oh i have to wait to get vanity gear which im not interested in to begin with? Fine. Unlike some players i dont like to down content in a day.

I actually enjoy playing ffxiv instead of grinding the same content for 4 hours to get some shinnies.

Boohoo. QQ more. The change is here and itll benefit more people. Probably not you. But no one cares.

I've also been twiddling my thumbs / leaving disbanded hunting parties because the As are down and it's 90mins+ until we can gain marks again.

it's a positive change when this is exactly the reaction they want from people.

honestly, i think it has improved. a lot of people in those LSs quit doing almost everything but hunts, all 3 ranks. now that there are no rewards for Bs, theyve started doing their roulettes again. in general, does the change suck, yes, i dont disagree with that, but the way it was setup was taking away so much from everything else in the game. now, with nobody realy competing for B ranks anymore, other parts are starting to get some activity. i saw 5 different PF groups not too long ago, the most ive seen since before was maybe 1, and that for titan ex or T5.

They made getting i90 gear more easy and blockked i110 upgrade. I don't understand what's good in it. There is no problems to get 300 myth/day doing roulettes and soldiery. Now players can buy 1 i90 item/day. This means that i90 is not a gear now.
They already placed soldiery block which doesn't allow to obtain upgradeable i100 faster then for 15 weeks. This is one more slowdown for equip. Thanks. If they wish to continue in the same manner i will cancel subscription

did they change the amount of soldiery it takes to get a 110 piece of gear?

No, it did the _exact opposite_. Anyone who was grinding them won, they already got all their seals.
Those of us who _were_ doing dungeons and stuff now have a hugely nerfed seal rate when we do do hunts. Before, I could hunt for a couple hours and make a nice amount of myth/sold/seals, now I can get 50 from my weekly and then sit around waiting for As. Dailys are only useful if you play every single day, otherwise a few hours the old way was more seals than you can get from a couple days a week worth of dailies.

So now I have to spend more time getting seals and less time free for dungeons and ST and so on.
