Carbontwine and coats from hunts? doing this to us again?

I wonder why did they do that upgrade part at all. I think it was much better in 2.0 you could get same item lvl with mythologies and coil and no needed waste time for upgrading items at all.

If you have read my previous post like 2 posts up from that one. I say I don't care about it at all. Infact I'm happy they buffed the hunts. I'm also happy with the required seals for the items themselves. I think they considered that most players(those that actually need to do something else for 8h per day) should be able to get atleast one of the items per week if that is their focus.

Im not having ago at you and im sorry if you got that impression. I just dislike the way people are making hunts out to be terrible, they are not that good imo...id prefer the ST style of drops yes. But at least i have a away to gain carbontwine.

To slow down the gear progression rate and keep it going for your main job into odd numbered patches. In 2.0 you'd pretty much have a full set of i90 gear just from myth by the time 2.1 was coming out so there was no gear progression for your main job after 2.1 until 2.2 came out, with the upgrade system people who don't do coil now get to have "fun" farming hunts and CT for upgrade items for their main job in odd numbered patches to continue gearing up.

Slower gear progression is one that is probably main... other is to keep people playing just for the upgrade items - because so many people will want them for the off jobs that they will rerun the content over and over and over thus keeping it alive and well.

And now that weekly quest to get the Carboncoat, brings players back into LoTA and ST and keeps WoD going so new players don't have to see those 60min+ Q's...hopefully.

All I know is, Augmented shield, here I come!!!

Just when I was starting to enjoy Hunts as a casual activity (with only a couple parties ever showing up, so the fights weren't completely mindless) to work towards various patriotic glamour pieces, SE goes and fills the event with vitriol by making it progression based again... Sigh...

y'all are more than welcome to walk into FCOB...

I couldn't care less about the Carbontwine, I care about the fact that Hunts are once again going to devolve into possibly the worst piece of content in the game because the majority cares about Carbontwine. Already witnessed pull drama, which I haven't seen for a long time. This is utterly the dumbest thing SE could do when they explicitly stated they didn't like how Hunts ended up with Sand of Time/etc as rewards... "We didn't like how that turned out, so we're doing it again", bra-f*cking-vo SE.

Yes ONE, a week, same as doing final coil and getting 1 item a week just one requires a lot of grind, the other requires teamwork. 2 Different methods of obtaining the same item with the same amount of work needed. Not everyone can do Final coil, and those who can get dread gear as a reward so they have something to show for their hard work, the rest of us need gear to keep up with content and the Poetic system is that way, now we will need a way to get up to ilvl 130 items, it does not surpass Dread gear in anyway the stats are always much better.

GDI. I'M NOT AGAINST THE HUNTS LMAO

It just sounds like you were from ur post that is all. The new weekly does make older stuff better, i do like that however hunts for me is a bonus as i can catch up and get my armour upgraded so then i might have a chance to do Final coil. And it also takes longer then the old hunt system with the Soldiery armour and the whole Sand of time easy mode.

Meh just gonna sit back and laugh at the idiots killing 75 a ranks per twine. Really, why bother.....eventually ur gonna have all 130 from either ct(when they add the twine to the weekly, shouldn't be long now ) or coil, the only thing hunting will do is make u get bored faster.
