Cross World Visits Are Ruining Hunts

[Krotoan]

You have taken the right approach, world visit isn't going away, but you can work with other servers to participate in their trains, and overall its a net gain for everyone involved. People are hunting upwards 300 S ranks per week, an achievement that took years is now reduced to a 2 months grind.

Ohh yeah.. that white tiger thing isn't gonna be a pipe dream for people anymore =]

Also, just a question, is there some multi-server hunt LS? As I said, since 4.55 I' not really active, playing a bit every days but not really doing hunts waiting for Shadowbringer... But if a LS like that exist, I might be interested.

Not at the moment but they are working on a cross-world LS. People just use discord for now.

There have been a good amount of these threads; I think one of them with almost this exact name.

The new cross world visit system is ruining hunts.

In your opinion, it is ruining them; in others' it has improved them and got a lot more people to hunt who previously felt the spawners on their world hogged all of the hunts. People who struggled to get enough S ranks after work are now getting plenty. It doesn't matter who you are, there is now something for you to spawn that someone else isn't spawning. Someone else spawn your agrippa? Go use your maps on 7 other worlds! Miss Gamma because you were in a dungeon? Go and spawn it on another world! It's so much better now.

Goblin's hunt community was one of the best. We have always waited 5+ minutes on S ranks and 4 minutes for A ranks.

I tried waiting 5 minutes at a Goblin A rank. Guess what? People still ran up to it as it died and missed it. However long you wait people will complain. 2-3 minutes is enough for me to get to a hunt on another world, and was enough for me before I had a high-end PC with an SSD.

When a hunt is called you need to teleport immediately or you'll miss it. You can enable chat timestamps in your settings so you can see if the call was made in the same minute you got back from being afk.

Now we are being plagued by early pulls

The anti-wanderer attitude of a minority of individuals is what causes people to early pull on Goblin, honestly. If there is a hunt up on another world it may get pulled fast too.

the last S rank I went to at 3 am CST was nearly all wanderers.

People from Goblin who I am rather certain relay to hunt linkshells were present, so there just wasn't anyone in those hunt linkshells that were interested in showing up. It's hardly our fault if Goblin doesn't care about its hunts. We spread the word, there was a decent wait and it took ages to die. The hunt was right by the aetheryte too. I don't see the problem here.

Better yet, just do away with the visit system.

It's important for distributing load during an expansion launch, given their past problems. It's their alternative to a cross-world marketboard, which was not realistic from a development standpoint. They want you to be able to do hunts and maps with your friends on other worlds. It's hugely convenient to be able to visit your friends on other worlds, enter their houses, or just not have this barrier there. I have met so many great people and made so many friends, including from Goblin, thanks to this.

How can you call your hunt community active, when you obviously encounter S-Ranks triggered, found, shouted and killed by almost only Wanderers?

[disturbedcobra]

There is one thing that makes crossworld Hunts complicated is the issue with being unable to teleport while you are in a party. I am guessing they focus on one world at a time before splitting up and moving to another world? I have seen at times where there were quite a few A rank hunts just sitting here on Balmung with not a single person even nearby them. XD The only thing about this whole set-up is that it doesn't help or work for the more casual people who don't focus the hunts but find them on the occasion and want to slay it but not able to get a group together for it cause "train".

Phoenix has a very active hunt scene so I've got no idea what your talking about, I really seen wanderers ever spawning them but they swarm them almost as soon as they spawn as they stalk the zones with ACT.

For A ranks I believe people are coordinating on discord what server to focus on, so like someone from Goblin, Malboro and Balmung scouts those A ranks, and then people go through them in that order. Note A trains only do SB hunts.

Do you have the link to this discord? I don't actively do hunts on a regular basis but I do quite a bit of crafting/gathering and tend to run across quite a few hunts overtime. Btw, does anyone ever update any of the specific hunt tracking sites. If so which ones are reguarly updated?

I heard goblins hunt community was ruined before cross world, which was why the hunt maps creator decided he no longer wanted to play the game.

[Spratchet]

Goblin was a low pop world eh? One of the new ones if I remember correctly.

While the loss of an organized and tight knit community is lamentable, it's not as if the hunt system was meant to be an organized server wide event.

You don't remember correctly. It's an older server.
