Elite Mark Fix?

[Kerwin]

At the following time, in order to address issues in the NA/EU language versions, as well as make adjustments related to Elite Marks, we will be performing maintenance on all Worlds.
During this period, FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn will be unavailable.

Are they just making daily marks more usable now or do I smell a nerf incoming?

This was posted on reddit:


The number of Allied seals a player can receive from elite marks in a day is now limited to 250. This amount will reset during the daily reset.
The number of Allagan Tomestones of Mythology dropped by elite marks has been reduced to 50% of the current rate.
The number of Allagan Tomestones of Soldiery dropped by elite marks has been reduced to 25% of the current rate.

Someone confirm? False

The following change has been made to “The Hunt”.

The Elite Mark Bill has been adjusted so that when it is updated the same monster will not be the targeted mark two weeks in a row.

Nobody knows yet.

Sitting here at work wondering where the news on what they changed is at. Thought maybe the maintenance got delayed or something. Figured we would know something by now. Bracing myself for bad news about how hunt rewards have been nerfed to hell with a slight increase in daily rewards.

Can you blame them? i mean who would rightfully sit here and say Hunts didn't NEED a nerf unless they were used to everything being handed to them.

I know a hunter that had already get 6 sands. Nerfing now just make the other ppl more difficult to catch up.
In spite of the reward, hunt is not enjoyable, making it an enjoyable content with reasonable reward/alternative route to gear up for SCoB should be the solution.

Let make our own guess on what the fix is and then see who's right

Will start with some toughts:
- mob doesn't reset and returns its place with original aggro and contribution list
- mob will keep perma-aggro to who pulled first and returns its place (no reset) and switch aggro if player goes too far (or die!)
- contribution given on individual basis and not full party basis
- some rewards capped for the week

We should know in a couple hours or so.

Myth/soldiery nerf most likely.

People are/were already geared to do SCoB. Turn/weekly lock is the reason people weren't/aren't doing SCoB, not lack of free handout Sands and Oil for linkshell zerging The Hunt.

Hopefully its a Allied Seal cap, seems like everything else it the world is dead. Mostly all of the people who havent cleared SCoB are just spamming it lol and thats a pretty high %.
