S and A Elite Marks

[Enjuden]

The reason we shouldn't be concern if they're as powerful as coil mobs is because this is a world event, this is something an unlimited amount of people can sign on. S ranks need to be ridiculously powerful and A ranks powerful enough for players to form parties for at least 5 minutes.

People don't wait at all, I'm telling you, I look at PF every few minutes, and I swear I see an icon pop "This zone's hunt' as soon as I join they say "dead"

Or if I happen to be on the zone, someone shouts for the first time, and by the time I get there they're already at it.

They need to be powerful enough for it to be suicide to early pull, this way more people will get a chance.

Early pull=wipe

Sorry to break it to you, but there is no 'early pull' so long as people continue to track mobs with an app.

Dear SE, please make rank A and S more powerful. So powerful it would require a minimum of three full parties for A, and four full parties for S.

They are easy because of the numbres zerging them. They would be a modicum of challenge if done with the designed number of people, and not 1/4 of the server XD

Bs where designed for 1-2
A's for 4-8
S's for 2-3 full parties

None of them where balanced around 100-200 nuking em. Neither should they be.

Ummm, correct me if I'm wrong, but when 2.4 comes along, won't hunts become largely irrelevant unless new hunt content is introduced in that patch? So then... what would be the point to making any changes to it now, when the patch is getting pretty close?

[RyujinUzikin]

In it's current state all we can do is cheat and watch the spawn times on a website, or else you won't get there in time or you'll be extremely lucky now and then.

What a great community we got here, bravo.

You're lucky anyone waits for anyone before pulling when they find a hunt mark. This is NOT how things are in most other MMOs I've played, you find it, you pull it, you don't sit around waiting for half the server to show up, you just kill it, and too bad for them for not being there when you do. Calling down the community for not waiting forever and a day before pulling is just plain ridiculous, seeing as how this community is FAR better at waiting than any in any other game I have ever played EVER. I just don't even understand the logic you're employing. Especially because the content in question is about to become completely obsolete anyway, come update time.

Didn't you know? All hunts belong to the horde! Deprive them of their chance at a kill and face their eternal /tell scorn!

[KaerisKlyne]

I'm pretty over it. I don't pull hunts in general because it's great that everyone can gear up quickly, but they've introduced more problems than solutions.

The rewards are out of balance. We shouldn't be able to buy logs; they should remain a random drop from targets. I also think early pulling doesn't actually exist, because it's a hunt. It isn't content tailored to massive crowds. I'm of the opinion that hunts should have been claimable by parties from the start because those full groups were able to find them, requiring the entire group to be on the same map to claim. Hunts are working as intended...because no thought seems to have been put into them beyond "well it didn't go well to begin with, might as well make it a freebie to help people along".

I'm done with hunts this week once I have my last Alexandrite. Probably won't do them again. Hoping SE introduces new ways to get gear for upcoming jobs not native to Eorzea, so shouldn't have the same acquisition methods.

This way players with ADD who early pull after 3 seconds of shouting <pos> can stop doing this crap and we can all get our seals and be happy.

Thank you

Mahisha in the tunnels is what u ask for OP

[Gaddes]

If it makes you feel better OP most people will probably drop hunts like a hot potato as soon as 2.4 hits and ST is unlocked, except maybe for those who use hunts to rapidly collect myth.
