Hunts are FIXED now. Thank you SE.

(..) real PRNG (..)

That you have to explain, either it is a TRNG or it is a PRNG, there is nothing in between!
While it is true, that you can create a TRNG when using a PRNG as basis code, but the output then is a TRNG number.

Edit: They are using the same RNG for everything ingame!
Crafts 98% - 3 fails in a row
Dungeons - the same drops in a row
Getting the same leves again and again...
Many examples!

I wonder if you would enjoy it if you could not reach the mobs at all

If I hunt during prime time I miss a lot of mobs, and I don't care really, sure it can be annoying to get to a mob and see it die in front of your eyes, but other than that I don't mind.
It's not like I'm in a hurry to kill all the hunts that ever spawns

I tend to roam the world looking for beautiful views and weird stuff to take fun/cute/nice screenshots. And now I can do that AND look for hunts at the same time.
So yeah it's one of the things I enjoy the most in the game.

Edit: But then again I'm one of the few persons who seem to enjoy atma farming too...

Good luck with roaming the world and taking nice screenshots, and getting to the marks in time before they're dead. This does not compute, unless you're doing this while the horde is not there, but then you're missing the point of some of the posters here.

All I know is I loved camping nm's in ffxi. I tried a hunt in ffxiv once, and quickly found out I hated um.

Why? 1. Ease of getting to um.
2. Free for all, no target lock

Those 2 things have caused hunts to be zerged by 100+ people compared to around 8-10 people for NM's back In ffxi.

Peaple are literally spread all over Eorzea, and all that's needed is for 1 person to say its up and <pos> 1 minute later, will have over 100 people there

I actually like the Atma farming aspect as well, as it's one of the very few true grinding MMORPG traditions left in the game. I can certainly agree with the aspect of coming across the hunt elites as being an awesome and fun experience... but only when it's done properly. I'd wager that a majority of the player base don't even know what at least 5 of the elites have for special abilities (or at least don't understand what they do or have not experienced them first-hand).

When you have half/most of the server showing up to simply kill a B rank 9/10 times, or the entire server showing up for an A and S rank, it kinda kills the whole fun aspect of it after the first few times. If you prefer this facerolling zerg-fest aspect of the hunt, instead of the intended way of fighting them and getting through their mechanics, then I guess you really would love the way it is now. I'm fairly confident that the majority of the playerbase is not with you on that one, if so.

Thanks for not changing hunts! I love the hunts the way it is and if you listened to those silly people saying hunts suck, hunt would probably get really boring.

All i want is, S Ranks not disappearing anymore >.<

That's a completely different experience.

Actually not being able to see the content must be so far below her/him...

[MliorFreyjr]

I rarely post in the forums, but when I do I make it worthwhile.



Thanks for making this decision much easier for me and my friends SE. Truly, it's appreciated.

[/QUOTE]Yeah I could go and get a radar or w-e those Hunters use to get points but I don't want to cheat in game.
Though SE is like forcing people to do so apparently.[/QUOTE]

Most the people that are accused of cheating actually record the kill times and know when to be back in the area for the re-spawn. This is learning the mechanic properly, not cheating.

I think the bigger issue that many people have (ignoring the clusterf*** of a rewards system), is that people shouldn't have to be playing during off-peak hours to enjoy content provided by the game.

Yeah, I know people are enjoying it during peak hours as well; but, I feel like it should be something that anyone should be capable of enjoying at any given time.
