1 Step Simple Fix to Elite Hunts

[AlexandryaMajeel]

they already increased the hp of all marks, it didn't fix what they intended to, which was to allow the elites to live longer. They've already stated they're not going to do another hp buff on the elites. If they keep the hp at what it is now, then a B rank dies at a decent pace to a party of about 4. A ranks you need about 16 and S ranks the same they just take longer to kill.

The problem lies in this.... Until a new major patch hits that increases how you get allied seals or makes them obsolete, Then this is the fastest way to complete weapon relic, obtain i110 armor and accessories. This patch hit only 2 weeks(ish) ago, the people wanting to hunt elites will only increase and then level off til next patch. The amount of people hunting right now isn't the leveled off amount. Most A ranks on my server would be dead within 2 min of spawn if people weren't courteous enough to wait on others.

Just allow sands/oil of time to be bought by myth and problem solved period. 800 myth each log, so that would be 2400 myth for each sands of time and 1600 myth for each oil. We are in a "catch up" phase right? Let people catch up the way they enjoy more FFXIV. Don't force people to afk play with these hunts, not all of us like it (which is why I'm not doing it in the first place so save your "you don't have to do it" answers because I'm NOT doing it, but at the same time I don't think it's fair that people that enjoy going with app radars and AFK play get the highest rewards). I might be wrong but you put sands and oil obtainable via myth and I bet this hunt hysteria automatically disappears and the whole thing becomes more reasonable. I think it's pretty stupid right now that like 70-80% of each server is hunting down these things in peak hours while there are 7-8 parties in the PF (when I used to see +20) and 2 of them are for hunting puproses. I thought I would never say this but I'm starting to miss Brayflox myth PFs and "Mirror farm" parties...at least it was healthy gaming, unlike this zerg fest lag trash.

The entire server already zones in within 3 minutes, if they haven't crashed due to hunts by now, they aren't going to

credit for marks is based off hate generation, no need for brd, blm etc. u can have a full party of tanks and whm's another group could do all the damage and both groups would get full credit.

still wouldn't work, u get 80 myth per A rank kill, i can grind myth fastest doing elite hunts in groups. It wouldn't send me back to the dungeons

Maybe it wouldn't to you, but I'm completely convinced it would on a lot of people.

Simply just turn the mark into a green-name NPC by engaging, and it will stay there for n minutes,
meanwhile a system message with <t> <pos> could be boradcasted. ^^

[AlexandryaMajeel]

valid point.

Ppl is focusing too much in fixing the hunts in a way everyone can get credit, but the hunts with their current rewards are destroying the whole structure of the game, they just have to turn hunts into an alternative to core content, dungeons, fro that they have to remove oils, sands and alex, and halve myths dropped. The only way to fix hunts, and yes, save the game, is reducing the number of players whiling to do hunts, and the only way is turning them into an alternative to core content.

If they keep these rewards our greed to get stronger gear will en up destroying the game, at this rate only a small portion of the player base will do dungeons, primals and raids, because the rewards of these are not even comparable to hunts.

the problem with it being broadcasted is simply this... Could you really call it a hunt anymore? people would just track the zones that were open as they do now, and instead of running around trying to find an elite they would just sit and craft or something, it wouldn't be a hunt anymore
