Please make hunts like leves/treasure maps!

[Duelle]

Going by the OP's suggestion, two things could come from it.

1) Add a new type of allowances that are given after a certain amount of time has passed.

2) Make hunt marks tradeable for leve allowances. This would give a use to leve allowances that I'm sure have hit the 99 cap since you're not doing leves unless you're leveling a class. This would also pseudo mimic the rep thing they had with the Horn and Hand, Broken Blade and Azeyma's Shields in 1.0, since I recall you had to do certain things to get leves affiliated with those three factions.

I also would prefer if they work like Leves. Although it is kinda nice to meet one of them while doing other stuff in the Open World, I can't see myself riding through the zones hunting them for the vague chance of seeing them more regularly. I know right know a hell lot of people are doing it but it is nothing for me. When I have 2-4 hours to play on a regular evening, I just don't wanna spend a good portion of it waiting or searching. Not for FATES, not for hunt monsters, not for anything.

I'd like to have 4-8 player leves instead where the mob spawns only for you and your group. And without waiting or searching times. They can reduce the rewards or limit the number of hunt leves you can get so people don't break the system by spamming hunt leves without end.

It's not a good suggestion. Having force spawned hunts is like doing Trials. It defeats the purpose of open world when you artificially create a dungeon.

exept the open world content we have right now, only serve a few elites... when i see people saying, yes it work for our 6 LS.... LS is limited to 128 people x 6 it means 768 player, when the total of population on the server pass the 5000-6000! when a system is only usefull to a bunch it's a bad system!

however get ride of the Rank S target will be a bad idea, but the reward need to be rework and more important make an emote that say that the boss did spawn, without give it location. like this exit the ls that simply keeping the rank S for them! and more important, add more than 1 per area... and more often than 1 time every 48 hours. Hunt actually it's not playing, we spend 90% of our time to wait for the spawn!

I have had no problems with the hunt system. I came back for 2.3, had alot of catching up to do, and hunts helped me out a bunch. I got into a hunt LS, and i actively participated, and when i did, i was rewarded. I just got into a FC for casual folks, im on balmung, connecting from south korea, and yeah sometimes i dont get full credit or even any credit, but thats life lol. The system is still awesome. Hell while solo i\\\\'ve reported 6-7 rank B, 2-3 rank A\\\\'s. I got barely any credit for them because i was solo, but i didn\\\\'t mind , i was farming atmas.
If you actively are scanning zones, tracking death timers, and running around "hunting", you will be rewarded.
If you dont want to rush around, hunting, the duty finder still offers plenty of ways to farm mythology.
If your concerned with your relic not progressing as fast as others, go hunt. It\\\\'s that simple.
Most things in life require some hard work. Get used to it i guess?

This completely eliminates the positives of the hunt. Run to red circle, fight monster, woo hoo. This is the exact type of content that we already have a ton of. Hunts may have been poorly implemented, but open world content is very much what people wanted. The rewards are just too damn good. For the first time the term "adventurer" actually makes sense. We have plenty of instances/red circles.

As someone who actually hunts I've never had a couple hundred people all converge on a single deer guns blazing.

If someone shoots early does the whole flash mob of hunters get into heated arguments over who pulled first?

[Evenstar]

You know, when they announced hunts and even after the few days of doing hunts I actually was supporting this idea.

However, even if it is really crowded and even if I missed out on several hunts I arrived at on time I honestly think the hunts should stay exactly how they are now. The only thing they could do is add a little more HP to the A- and S-marks.

Reasons?

1) There is finally something to do outdoor! There is finally a reason to run around, try to spot a mark, work together covering multiple areas and/or maps.

2) There is finally a way to not put your head in the sand (as in only use Duty Finder or your Free Company for content). Since the introduction of hunting I met lots of people on our server, got in touch with the bigger Free Companies and had some fun conversations.

Edit: What SE could do is make the elite hunt quest always an S-mark, which works as a leve, but only can be done once a week. Other than that the general hunts should simply stay as open world content as they are now.
