Thread: Hunt Rewards in 2.4

Though some will still do them for glamour, alex etc, it has pretty much died.
Last night was one active hunt party (usually 5-6) 8 a ranks in window and ppl only stayed for nahn
A chorus of wtf when people saw rewards then all left.
I'm glad poetics aren't in hunts but I do believe the sold reward is far too low, when a use to get 80 myth, down to 20 sold, really poor balancing

Just had Garlok on Cerberus. 10 Poetics for max credit.
No one seems to go for A anymore, I see a few desperate people annoucing stuff in hunt LSs, but no one goes there xD

Yeah, i was doing hunts because i was able to get alex at a quick pace but now it kinda sucks i mean you need 400 sol for one map and you only get 20 from an A rank hunt? Come on SE that is just bad balancing... You just killed Hunts in one update gg for you.

S ranks are still worth it imo, 50 soldiery for less than 5 mins of fight, A ranks not much if you count the "you gotta scout for nearly an hour" factor.

The rewards for hunts were the allied seals. The tomestones were a bonus... and prior to 2.4 that bonus was so big people were doing hunts exclusively over all other content. Now that they've effectively nerfed the tomestone reward hunts will be done by people looking for allied seals as they were originally intended. Maybe now people can have some fun with them and actually get full contribution. This was much needed IMO.

But now we need a small change, when they increased the HP of A ranks they said it would be temporal, due to the high popularity of this system, now that it died out it would be good if they could be toned down a bit so smaller groups of players can kill them without sitting there for an hour.

I see people whining that this destroys hunts. From my experience so far it makes hunts worth doing where they were just stupid zerg mobs before. I've only had fairly small groups (8~12 people) go after A-ranks after 2.4 and it's more fun that way. It's more challenging, and this way people actually have to know at least some of the monsters' mechanics instead of just being able to faceroll their way to the soldiery and allied seal cap.

Yeah you can't effortlessly "work" towards some of the highest-end gear in the game now, but it's still good for seals and solds and the experience itself is, for the first time since hunts came out, relatively enjoyable at least as far as I'm concerned.
