Elite Hunt Mobs, and rendering (LOOK SE!)

[Hiruke]

But some people seems to think that deeper changes to something that was designed for one way yet is brutally done another way is an overnight thing they can do.

Perhaps they intended it to be done a certain way, but that's not actually how it's designed. Since everyone can share full credit if they generate enough enmity, it's designed to allow an infinite number of groups to cooperate and coordinate the destruction of every mark in the world. Which is exactly what people have done.

Apparently SE thought folks would be more selfish? I guess they envisioned roving bands of 8 people wandering the world (as a tightly packed group, not even spread out to search) and not talking to anyone other than themselves unless an S rank spawned. It's... pretty weird. And not even close to well thought out. If they wanted only small numbers of people to do it, they should have made it phased content and/or not made the rewards so ridiculously good. Even if you don't care about sands/oils, it still drops ridiculous amounts of soldiery/myth for little effort.

According to this:
they did fix it in the maintenance on the 15th, however for me it has started to mess up BIG TIME ever since the "infrastructure maintenance".

Yes, it's definitely gotten worse. Last weekend I could still see these things as long as I got close. This weekend... I "saw" Mindflayer for the first time, but then he quickly disappeared into a pocket dimension as a spot where I suspect he used to be turned into a giant pulsing orb of white light as Holy and Ring of Thorns were spammed infinitely. This continued for several minutes before someone decided he might maybe be dead and we left. That 5 seals was totes worth it.

There are two simple solutions:
1) Get a better computer that can actually handle the load during prime time when "everyone" goes nuts and zerg even B-ranks
2) Do your hunting at other times

Your complaint is like... someone designs a bus for 50 passengers, but you decide to cram in 100+ passengers and proceed to complain that the bus runs badly.

Calm down, take a deep breath, and if 1 and 2 is not "acceptable" to you, wait a week or two for the most impatient people to get their stuff and there will be much less people doing it at prime time.

Hey! I got some extra white paint which will go well with your armour.

It throw in polishing chemicals too.

Edit: will throw in lalafell squire for free.

This issue seems to be stumping SE and has since Odin. They seem to be skirting this issue and others regarding hunts. But honestly, I'm not even sure it is something that they can fix in the next 6 months.

It was so frustrating to see an A rank disappear, then not know if it had been engaged because of the huge crowd of people on top of it. By the time I got a handle on where it was, it died. So far, they have barely assured people they are focused on fixing this content. This isn't a F2P game....I just want a real assurance from SE here other than what they said with the band-aid patch last week about the allied seals. It is like someone is telling SE's PR, "hey, do not address these controversial issues publicly...as there is nothing we can do about them right now." As a paying customer, I at least want to know TOP MEN are working on this right now. TOP. MEN.

I still think, a year later, SE hasn't realized that this game is successful. It's as if they keep thinking, things will settle, and we won't need to fix it. But no, a year later, the game's still going strong and they seem to be in utter denial about it.

They know it is successful, but they seem to have the projected budget from when they didn't realize it would be this big, that way their guys at the top get to pocket more money.

TL;DR My experience just happened. I'm a ps3 player so I have some issues. Not with Behe or Odin though. A S rank popped on me I shouted for help and a lot of people showed up. Which I was expecting. I had it targeted the whole time before countdown. As soon as engage the mob disappears. I run in close to see if the model will show again! Nope I die and that's it.

I'm not going to even touch Drama Fates (Hunts) until the claim wars are gone, if at all lol
It is amusing to read the drama in the open world though while minding my own business... XD

So I guess something "good" did come out of it all lol

[yexie]

You fixed it for Odin
You fixed it for Behemoth

Please explain to me why you didn't put the same rendering priorities in for Elite Hunt marks.
300 players in one place, 1 boss. Can't see the flippin boss most of the time, but I can sure see the 300 players.

Why can't you learn from previous experience SE?

WHY?

According to this:

S rank elite marks will have top display priority. (click to the source)

they did fix it in the maintenance on the 15th, however for me it has started to mess up BIG TIME ever since the "infrastructure maintenance".

Funny, cause it's still the last thing I see. Egis still seem to have priority, judging by what clogs my screen.

The mob isn't meant for sharing with whole server. They should just lock the mob to the only claim party, (which supposed to be the actual patrol group that spawn it first) only. The crowd around cities and market don't need to join.
