Elite Hunt Mobs, and rendering (LOOK SE!)

[Nekodar]

1. Not a user hardware issue.
2. People are not available to play anytime 24/7.

Saying that the solution is for players to adjust rather than SE fixing a technical problem is poor way to show paying customers how they handle the business.

It was a suggestion from player to player in case you didn't notice. With the hardware thing suggested as I haven't had any problems myself with high end hardware.
And I did say that if either suggestion is not acceptable to you, wait a week or two.
Should SE make more changes? Certainly! I'm not saying they shouldn't! Did they make mistakes with hunt? YES, I'm not denying that!
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.

For Odin and Behemoth they made changes so that they could be displayed despite the grid limitations.
For S-rank they only changed display priority.
Getting the same grid changes for S-rank probably requires more work than to simply change the priority value.

It's poor implementation, they should have gotten it right the first time. Does no one remember 2.1 and how it was delayed a few weeks, Yoshi's response was that he didn't want to put anything out half done, if it wasn't ready on the day of release, then they would push it back, maybe they should go back to that, because it is extremely frustrating getting broken content, then wait as they scramble with halfassed hot fixes over the next month.

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.

For the hardware issue, player to player, yes. But as the others already mentioned, upgrading your hardware will not be any help as this is a problem with SE. You not experiencing the problem and your high end hardware has no relationship at all.

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

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".

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.

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.

Why should it have been done from the start when it was not the INTENTION? SE didn't design Hunts with the intent of having 300+ people coming down on them at once, even for a B rank.

While I agree that this is an issue, it doesn't mean that because us as a community decided to turn Hunts into something more than what SE anticipated means that they should have future sight and implement things that don't know about.

I understand that point, but at the same time, SE should have known better. They should have learned by now. Whenever they add new content, people flock to it. Whenever they add awesome rewards, people flock to it. When they add new content with awesome rewards, people go bat %^%+ crazy for it. What vacuum are they living in that they didn't see this coming?

[Alise]

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.

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