Have you gated upgrade parts behind Hunts AGAIN, SE!?

[Odett]

It's not all that bad. If you're like me and hate the zerg fests, you can just do your daily and weekly hunts (which also happen to be a good source of experience and gil, so you know, two birds with one stone) and slowly accrue the Centurio seals needed for the upgrades. In your daily searching for the mobs you need, you're bound to spot an A or S rank every once in a while, so that's when you call your buddies, kill it, and laugh at the dummies that think that early pulling is an actual thing where open-world content is involved.

They even bothered to explicitly state that the lifting of the loot restriction for normal does not apply to savage.

Reading comprehension people.

Why? If they are letting people do it with no lockout on hunts...

Because that's how it's been since hunts were added to the game?

Another solution could be:

Make a party of your own and go to your GC Hunting board, accept whichever hunt rank you want to kill as an entire group. And after accepting the quest, go to Hunt area and make it instanced (just like the job quests) for your entire party.
This way, people don't have to wait up for 50+ people to show up. It would be friendly for those that have not much time to play the game.
And it would solve the problem for others that missed the said Hunt, to get their own chance to do it themselves.
Also, it would solve toxicity of the playerbase.

Maybe add a weekly/daily cap to match up with the curent spawning time of said hunts?

Perhaps, make a Hunt Finder similar to Duty Finder?



Just my 2 cents.

Quoting myself from a similar thread for more visibility.

But why? "Its always been done this way" is a terrible answer.

SE just doesn't learn, huh?

Faceroll zerg content like hunts should never reward more upgrade mats than the hardest fights in the game.

Which means you\\'re behind....what are you not getting here?Not running certain content doesn\\'t mean you haven\\'t fallen behind in the gear treadmill.
Because you have.

Get your head out of your ass. By your standards the vast majority of players are apparently months behind on upgrading gear. When in reality the only people clearing a3s months ago to even get twines were hard core raiders. Not everyone raids 16 hours/day. Putting aside the fact that as a WHM I'm literally last on the list to even get a twine once I clear said content. Players are at the mercy of finding a decent static and most are complete garbage outside the top raid fcs. So don't come on here with your better than all attitude insulting people for legitimately not having twines yet. As3 is the hardest fight in the game it's not that surprising MOST don't have twines.
