When are hunts going to be balanced with the rest of the game?

[Alipoprocks]

You fail to understand. The soldiery cap is pointless.

Hunt marks over reward when compared with other content. You receive a massive amount of Myth and Soldiery from a single elite mark kill. You receive a minimal amount of Myth/Soldiery by doing a full hard mode dungeon run in comparison. Hunts are unbalanced with the rest of the game.

Do you get it now?

lets put it into perspective:
A full hard mode dungeon clear gets you 50 myth and 45 soldiery

you can hunt and get:
B Rank: 5 Allied Seals, 30 Myth and 10 Soldiery.
A Rank 20 Seals, 80 Myth and 20 Soldiery.
S Rank 50 seals, 200 Myth, 40 Soldiery

which is going to take you less time, less effort to get what you want?

See the imbalance?

Really? I capped myth and soldiery faster in dungeons. And I would still do them if I wasn't sick to death of them. And soldiery cap is what keeps it out of hand. So what if someone has all i110 gear on one job from hunts? I am sure that is the idea behind adding oils/sands from seals in the first place. For people who aren't doing coil to catch up.

And, no, I still don't understand why people are complaining. What exactly is the problem with having 500 sands? How does that hurt or affect anyone when they can't be utilized.

Hunts are simply this patches "busy work" content, they won't be fixed or worked on till 2.4 when we get that patches "busy work" content

There's almost nothing they can do at this point, the damage is done with the flooding of the game with tomes and seals.

Not to mention all the animosity the whole thing caused between players on the servers.

Hunts were a horribly executed idea that did more harm to this game than anything, and the next couple of patches may put a few more nails in that coffin if SE doesnt get its head out of its arse and think before they put in more stupid things like this.

Don't know what recent means for you but:



And then:

Alright, but it doesn't change what I say. In older mmropg instanced were the exceptions, not a common commodity. FFXI had "instanced" in the form of Dynamis (well, one per server, but still), but they never felt like that. I'm not including BCNM because they took place in an arena and you could even see what happened from outside.

A world of instances accessible with instant-teleport with DF is not a world for a mmorpg.

What's wrong with the flood of tomes? Did people really like SR brayflox so much?

Beside, it will hardly matter in 2.4

Another post showing the sign of this game's decline....GJ SE for ruining another potential game with mindless content......Good Job!

Flooding the game with tomes at a pace far quicker than even speedrunning Brayflox handed them out was a stupid thing to do. You arent looking at how that affected the overall economy for things like Myth materials and such, along with speed buffing the playerbase with gear that they didnt even have to really earn. It was just handed to them for mindless running around with a pack of 100 people killing mobs designed for 10-20 people. Thats poor execution on SE's part, and the damage done is likely permanent.

And since we have no clue just exactly whats going to happen in 2.4..... all you're doing is guessing.

The flood of oils/sands myth and soldiery shouldn't have happened until 2.4 not before.

What we get now is hunts which are have far greater rewards for time/effort, devaluing all other content in the game. It's simply unbalanced in the grand aspect of the game.

I myself join hunt parties, I've upgraded a few pieces of gear. I only queued for duty roulette twice since 2.3 hit. TWICE in a month. And that was with a premade party to do expert dungeons. I can cap soldiery within a few hours of weekly reset thanks to hunts. This would be all good and fine when 2.4 hits and introduces the next set of iLvl gear. But that's still at least 60+ days away.

Remove myth and soldiery from hunts as well as they are currently the easiest/fastest/path of least resistance to get those.

Remove Myth from hunts? Really? I don't fancy doing 270 Brayflox speedruns to upgrade Atma to Animus, that's why I ignored the whole Relic upgrade quest until after Hunts came out. If Hunts didn't give all the Myth they do, I would still be ignoring the Relic upgrade quest.

For anyone who doesn't realize it, 1,500 Myth per book x 9 books = 13,500 Myth. You used to get 50 Myth from one Brayflox HM. There actually were people who grinded out 270 runs of Brayflox to get their Animus before 2.3, I salute those crazy people.

Maybe if the game was actually dying you might have a point.

This hunt thing is very bad across almost all servers, at any given time of day.... It's impossible to join, or get anything done for hunts, or outside hunts since most people either so sick of running dungeons, or just don't bother doing any other endgame stuffs since Hunt went live last month. This is just bad game design overall, and zero responds so far from SE. I came to resubs with the welcome back campaign, now canceling the sub after seeing this. Perhaps another year lol.
