While I haven't started hunt parties, I have been in them. The issue is with the PS3 load times and rendering. I have had it where the target is visable before other people show up, but it still disappears when other people appear. And then there is the animation lock that prevents me from performing moves or targeting party members. I've not gotten credit a few times even though i should have. I'm not saying hunts for carbontwine and carboncoat is bad it was the same for sands and oil. But we had three methods to grab those upgrade mats, but now we only have two. Also hunts take time and some people don't have it.
