Let's talk about Hunts - a detailed rundown of their assumed mechanics

[NoboruSouma]

I enjoy the NMs in Eureka, so having some actually challenging world bosses would be nice.

Odin remains entertaining to this day because of level sync always keeping him a threat, so I don't see why they can't apply it on a grander scale.

I actually was kinda shocked today when I went to the Behemoth-FATE and saw that I didn't have to sync for it .. like .. what the hell, where is the challenge? Even synced we are way too strong with our current endgame gear ...
Needless to say it was banged down into the ground in 10 seconds. It was a shame, really.
I simply seem to have forgotten that they removed it ... but damn.

I'm confused who a lot of the people complaining here are fighting for? I pull on sight on my server and in rare cases the dedicated spawners miss them.

I'm thoroughly excited for the upcoming expansion and level cap increase to make the previous S ranks easier and even more excited for the world visit system to open up so I can spread to more of Aether and virtually always have something to spawn and kill.

If you guys are complaining on behalf of the people who dont spawn anything, or even the people who sit afk waiting for a fate to pop, then youre fighting for people who will,never be satisfied. The people I hear complain the most are the people who feed shout chat in like limsa/rhalgrs and then get mad cuz its already dead. If you arent helping you dont have a right to complain, and if you are helping you still dont have a right to complain.

I love the system as is and would be incredibly upset if it changed...although seeing everyone die to chernos vuln and poison would be quite nostalgiac...or agrippa being alive for 3 hours...good times.

This may be the case for your Server .. but on every EU Server I've been on and every Spawngroup I've been a part of there are more than half people that spawn every day and every night that complain about the current system and the "leeching community" (sorry for naming it that way, but it's the easiest to describe what I wanna say).

People are asking for a scaling system for hunts since 3.x.
I know a lot of Spawners who enjoy Eureka NMs because they don't die in a heartbeat and they are actually kinda challenging.
It's the same way when new expansions launch. The A/S Ranks will murder you and THAT is the fun part about open world bosses. They need to be hard. It's endgame content for a reason. Even casual players are able to kill them, even if it means you die a few times. It's not savage, but open world bosses that died in 10 seconds? Come on ... really ... And basically everyone can get a full reward even if you're late to the party.

As someone who spawned a lot and still tries to be a help besides working for 9 to 10 hours five days a week I feel kinda offended when someone says I don't have a right to complain. Everyone has a right to complain IF you can bring arguments. Which we have. Many times. It just gets ignored or laughed about because people want things to stay easy.

Because the devs are oblivious as to what the majority actually want when it comes to content they don't consider a high priority or to be "outdated".

I still don't understand the mentality of people who enjoy being trolls at hunts by defying what's consider common etiquette and earning the ire of the hunt community for no tangible gain other then maybe saving a minute or two of your life.

It's precisely those people I'm going to be concerned about once the floodgates are opened in 4.5.

And this is the problem - if they don't bring a counter-messure into the system .. The Hunt will go down with a bang because of people from outside interfering with an ecosystem, basically. I hope people will understand what I mean with that.
We know they wanna push this narrative of big open servers where you can wander arround freely - but this only works IF you are willing to change or adjust what is already there.

The Hunt System is in need of a change for a long time now. There was no adjustments for 3.0. There was no adjustments for 4.0. If there are no adjustments for 5.0 I think we can say that the system is dead and all the fun will be gone as soon as every spawn condition has been found.
