The Hunt 3.0

[Jandor]

So they didn't add an option to get bait from Huntmasters once a day and spawn your own A ranks with diminishing returns on further A ranks on some reasonable timer?

They never said they would mind, I just hoped .

I groan to myself with each iteration of Hunt that's added. The toxicity that rises from the community is astonishing, and the content itself isn't even fun. Make laps around the map for several minutes until someone finds the mark, then spend a fraction of that time actually playing and using skills to kill it, loot the pinata, and move on. If you didn't make it in time or someone pulled early, fill /shout chat with heaps of vitriol. No thank you. I haven't actively participated in Hunts since their conception, and don't plan on joining this time around. Putting up with that much drama for instant gear gratification isn't justifiable for me. I'll take my time through dailies and weeklies.

I plan to avoid the hunts as always. If the game's track record is anything to go off of, the upgrade items will be made available much easier in due time. Just do your dailies (115) and weekly (100) and be done with it until the early enthusiasts are done. The game's been out less than a week, people. Yeesh.

This. It's far easier to just find something else to do over getting yourself into a lather over insidious behaviour that surrounds the hunts.

inv pls; inv pls; INV PLS!; wait!; reset!; dead; dead dead; inv?; DEAD; why u pull early?;lolnoob lolololol; inv pls?; what is hunt up? inv pls

And you missed the link to the "early puller"'s name. Other than that, hunting in a nutshell.

On Gilgamesh is not any better. But as I told my party, some people enjoy griefing others. So, they will do whatever it takes to make others angry, as they don't feel any kind of guilt and they actually feed up on people's insults. Such people will never change, if you didn't make it, just relax. You might make it the next time or find the mark by yourself.

I used to love the idea of hunting when announced back in the 2.3x notes. I actually enjoyed the first days of it. Guessing the spawn conditions of the S marks, getting them, sharing information, joining multiple hunting LS, making lots of friends. It was good. It came with a price, which you guys mentioned: People became toxic about it, ruining the experience for a lot of people.

As for now, you require way less seals to fully upgrade your set, thank goodness. So, the pain of hunting these conditions will be minor compared to the early days of hunting.

[AlphaFox]

I do agree its frustrating, you will see people pass out X/Y location only to show up and nothing there. Or they announce it and its dead not even a few secs later. Just makes my head hurt that people are this selfish.

[Azper]

It's not SE's first time around the block. This is a worse version of the same thing that happened a long time ago. It should have been foreseen. I don't think "don't progress your character for a month" is an adequate choice.

Who said anything about not progressing? Do your daily and weekly marks. If you want more than that, yes, you're going to have to deal with the massive crowds of everyone else wanting more, because the game has been out less than a week.

[ScarletDawn]

idk why they keep doing this by adding the upgrade from hunts first and not raid....cause people wont bother with the raids unless u super nerf hunts.

[Kyomagi]

I can tell you all bickering right now the way hunts are designed is as follows

You find it
You Tag it
Its yours.

I get that it would nice if other people waited, but they dont have to. Try as you might, nothing will stop them from doing it and its not against the ToS.

So either dont do hunts, or get there faster.

[Souljacker]

What shocks me is that they were really, REALLY worried about making sure that Odin's FATE event was strong enough to withstand our new level 60 power (last night on Gilgamesh we were just standing about in shock as Odin proceeded to wipe out several alliances with 30k+ swings and after 15 minutes we hadn't even put a 2% dent in his health), but these hunts? Who cares. Let 'em hit the floor. Let em be easier than old content.

I just don't even know what the frell SE is thinking anymore. Hunts were the worst, most toxic content ever introduced and they just keep bringing it back. JP side must really be mature about hunts or something and the devs aren't even looking at how NA players are treating the content.

[saber_alter]

I agree.


I'm personally going to ignore hunts for the most part. maybe i'll do enough to get a weapon and the non-crap armor pieces to i170. i'm just going to replace it in two weeks anyway.
