The Hunt Public Shaming Needs to end

[RichardButte]

Oh and I could say learn to play too, so let me try that too: get there faster next time. Should rectify the problem.

1. The monster is still there. You have a tab key for a reason.

2. "Getting there faster" has nothing to do with "learning to play".

When you first see the message come across your LSs (I have 7 hunt LSs), you teleport and you go (if teleporting is necessary). Then you mount and run to the location, ASAP.

That's all you CAN do. There's no minigame to play that gives your chocobo speed boosts on the way there. If you're lucky, a group of players using Guildworks won't have gotten there long before your LSs have reported the mob and pulled.

Generating more aggro, however, certainly does involve learning to play better, and again, I have a hard time believing the hunts on your low pop are anywhere NEAR the zergfests on Hyperion...

Since teleporting to and finding the hunt is part of playing the game, yes you have to learn to play the hunt. It is a hunt after all. I suppose you want everyone else to do the hunting part, that is going out and looking for the beast, for you though.

You can't tab to something that hasn't appeared. It is completely, and utterly, unable to be targeted. You can have great fun spamming AoEs in the dark though. I guess you never experienced this. Lucky you.

Well, you don't have to believe me if you don't want to; it's not a big deal either way. I don't really have a reason to lie about all this, but it really makes no difference if you believed it. I highly doubt you would change your ways and do a complete heel-turn, especially when there's seals and logs to be had.

Which I just explained the BEST way to do (woohoo, minmaxing!!!) and it's neither deep or challenging.

If you're out looking for the hunt mob and it spawns on the other end of the zone, you'll still miss out through 0 fault of your own.

What are you playing on?

I'm really NOT trying to be a bastard about this, but I've just NEVER had an issue with getting full credit, even in a gigantic zerg of players...

Maybe that's the power of the SMN?

It's neither deep nor challenging, so you should be able to make it there in time. Or maybe you won't, it's all part of the game though.

Oh and I'm playing on ancient technology.
