1 Step Simple Fix to Elite Hunts

[AlexandryaMajeel]

So long as the damage increase still makes it doable with a tank and healer, I completely agree with that suggestion. Also it would add a feel of the old FFXI days where you would be fighting a lvl 10 mob and something came over and face raped you out of nowhere that was level 50 =P

My suggestions:

As it was specifically mentioned, hunting crowd creates huge server load, do you want to see server crashing constantly?
And besides, you suggestion will lead to a situation where party of full ilvl110 is the only one that gets credit (or no parties get full credit at all). It's already hard enough in prime time to get full credit even with a good party, and you are literally inviting half of the server to mark location.

Monster damage increased by

With current situation this will lead to a lot of rage because it's almost impossible to dodge AoE with all this lags and crowds. And damage increase will just oneshot everyone in it.
We already have a situation when BRD, BLM, WHM and tanks are "preferred" for hunts, and you are just proposing to make it even worse.

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.

when they spawn they are immune to damage for a set amount of time.

This is a terrible idea for all the server will have time to arrive, making your gaming gear explode, texture flickering and maybe even server crash.

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.

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.

[AlexandryaMajeel]

valid point.

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

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. ^^
