Hunt changes - for the better of us all

[Luvbunny]

This is good. I think it would have been better if they'd added B's to dailies and made A's into the weeklies, maybe added a global monthly S, but this is far from nothing.

If you add A to the weekly, it will further crowd and create more problems for the A rank, and most casuals can't keep up with this. Adding B rank to daily is good but then you put pressure to the casuals to do stuffs everyday for the B rank. Putting 3-5 B ranks to the weekly however is a better idea, make them give you 50 seals each. So casuals can log in, go kill 3-5 of their weekly B rank in one sitting and if they don't log for the rest of the week, it's no big deal.

What would be better is:
B daily with the current respawn setup (or maybe 5-10min respawn, fast but not instant), say 3 or 4 B's for 10 each, the B hunts are basicaly wasted now, each player has a reason to kill 1 a week and there is constantly 17 of them up running around...

A for weekly, but random which A, not all on the same one. you can just hunt normally hitting them all, or if your more casual you can just hunt the one zone. to make if fair on the casuals, with the bill in your inventory the hunt scholar can give you the last TOD of your weekly so you do not need to waste your time waiting if it was killed just before you logged in.

if we can't have B's the way it was back then they should at least make them daily instead of weekly...50 seals / week is weak

i still don't see why they have to nerf it, if people don't like hunt then don't do it. it was a very nice alternative to grinding those HM dungeons. this way we can do hunt for tomes and get our weekly loot from ST for alts.

Why do so many people think B ranks are just now able to be soloed? They were before. Now they are too easy. It took about a minute to kill.

Not all Bs were "easy" when really soloing them!
Some Bs had interesting attacks that can hurt a lot if you could not avoid it, also: were you truly soloing? (no Chocobo or Egi?)

I'd rather see B marks replace the FATE bosses from dailies. I've spent hours trying to get some FATEs to pop just for one daily, while I could much more quickly find a B mark now. Then make the weekly mark an A. No matter how crazy these things are, I can get 1 A in a week.

Because people whined that everyone got ilvl110 armor and accessories too fast and would bring in idiots for end game content. Square doesn't like people getting things quickly, so they nerfed it so that people will still be playing until the new content in the next patch rolls around. Otherwise you'd get a slew of people whining that there's nothing to do. So good luck in ever getting B marks as a daily unless you want their reward seals to get nerfed too.

While I'm glad they buffed daily mark rewards, I'm also sad they did nothing to discourage the A/S zerg-fest. A/S's were generally being shouted in zone before, not always but mostly. It was eerily quiet yesterday when any A's popped. So If anything, it looks as if A/S's will be secretly horded even more than before by the mega hunt LS's.

The Hunt was suppose to be an activity that would help casual players to catch up with their gears. Although I welcomed the changes to daily and weekly mark, the reward got nerfed to oblivion on the B mark which is puzzling 274 seals a week is a mere pittance.... it should be a good 500-700 a week. Even on that numbers, it will still take MONTHS for casual people to catch up with the oils and sands. The most puzzling of them all - we had more than a month where people ZERG all the B, A, and S mark and getting boatload of seals.

And now A and S receive no changes, and B rank is heavily nerfed for the casuals, forcing people to even further camping A mark and keeping it for themselves. Further adding more toxic behavior to the server... These changes are not for the better for us all. Casuals get scraps, yeah you can solo at your own pace, but the reward is pittance and the goal is to further waste your time. While hardcore camper get rewarded with boatload of seals, myth and soldiery tomes. What a great solution to divide the player base even more...

[QUOTE=Thayos;2371548]I wouldn't blame hunt linkshells for these changes... most of the people on the forums who seemed to be complaining are minority of players who don't want to join hunting groups and would rather solo for their seals. If everyone had been as cooperative as the hunt groups, then I doubt SE would have made these changes. We're only getting this B-rank nerf because people opposed to hunt groups complained enough.

Well I will blame them, leashing and tele-zerging ravenous in-chat trolls who played the content unlike anything it was intended to be.

I made a lot of noise about the garbage hunts were before this patch, it is much better now, and not at all because of you hunt Lss.

I never wanted to be on an even foot with them anyway.
