So Hunts...

[SevValen]

When I read the threads it seems like peoples complaints mostly are towards other players, pull early , saying wrong coordinates on purpose etc.. so wouldnt the simplest solution for this problem is to give the hunts more hp and damage so that it requires alot sorry ALOT of players?

I sat on the sidelines of som hunts and dam they died almost instantly and of course the flood of hate comments and name calling followed. . I would really like these things to get a buff because whats going to happen whn we finally get more open world primals, are they going to be squishy and easy to kill or are they going to be actual beast?

No, because the huge zergs of people currently mowing the mobs down, is not working as intended. And they've already said they don't want to buff the HP even more. The problems you gave, are player created problems, nothing more.

Then what exactly were they intended to be? Please explain to me since I had left the game way before hunts released amd didnt come back till way later

They were intended to be for far less players than currently mow them down. ie a full alliance at most for an S.

They were intended to be for far less players than currently mow them down. ie a full alliance at most for an S.

B ranks were meant to be soloed.

A ranks were meant for a full party or an alliance of parties.

S ranks were meant for all the players in a zone or more.


That said, after the adjustments of 2.35 B ranks are essentially ignored except for the weekly solo. A ranks are all organized hunts go after while simultaneously spawning S ranks in an concerted effort. If servers want to get effective, they should learn to organize themselves as a server like Excalibur has.

Really? No. Let's try this.

Rank B maximum HP has been raised from solo to light party level, Rank A maximum HP has been raised from light party to full party level.
Although the Rank S maximum HP level was already intended for multiple parties, we have further raised the necessary number to require even more parties.

That means A Ranks were meant for a light party, ie 4 players. And an S rank was meant for something around an alliance.

Hmm... going back and reading what I was basing my statement on, I suppose it can mean what you're saying. Rather, it must, since you have a source as well.

Yoshi-P on Hunts adjustments in 2.35:

S ranks were intended to be monsters which people would find and then shout to other people in the area to try to gather up people to defeat them. B rank monsters were intended to be more for people who aren't hunting in large groups, but rather something people could do every now and then without help on their own time. A ranks were supposed to be somewhere in the middle.

[...]

So while the current situation for S ranks isn't too far from what we intended, I think the one rank that needs to change the most right now is B rank since the current status is entirely different from what we had originally planned. I think most people will either be happy or at least understanding once the patch is implemented. Of course, we'll continue to consider adjustments based on the state of Elites in future patches.

SE is gonna soon get tired of all the complaints and move the hunts to dungeons and so that it forces everyone to do dungeons.

then people are gonna complain about that.

Hunts are the worst.


They push you to do all things that are considered bad. Or you just don't do them.

It would solve the problem right now, yeah. But when the end-game players lose interest in hunts they will not be so heavily hunted. Even now the number of hunters seem to be dwindling vs how it was at launch.

There would be no point in even trying to kill an A rank two months from now because they would take forever to kill, and give you rewards that would probably be dated.
