Hunts being pulled early!

[MelchiorArvalis]

Before you read this, YES it's a complaint/rant thread.

So, what the hell is up with the hunts nowadays? Even before the patch hit. Some people tend to pull the A-ranks and S-ranks as soon as they arrive at the mark, WAY before people have arrived. Most of the time a A-rank doesn't even last a full minute after being called because of some douchebag early puller. What is up with all these impatient people!?

For example:
Hunt got called in Mor Dhona.
I teleport, my loadscreen takes about 30 sec to go through
They called it dead already.

And I teleported as SOON as it was called. So I mean, what the hell!?

Yeah that is going to happen for a while. Due to the fact you can now get carbon coat/twine from allied seals. People are going to be in a frenzy to get them to upgrade poetics. :3 I don't know a good solution for this, I will only go for hunts if I am in the area.

See here is your problem.

You think that once you hear it called,
Thats when it was found.

Its not.
Especially if you're getting info from Shout.
if you see it in shout, you're probably already too late.

With hunts having the ability to give the highest ilvl gear in game.
competition is going to be fierce.

You really need to get a dedicated group and actually hunt if you want success.

Getting the last fruit of the grapevine, its going to be rotten

I'm not getting my information about a hunt from shouts, I'm part of a maxed out hunt LS that is searching all the time for hunts, they call em as soon as they see them or if they got tagged in another LS. So usually we find them as soon as they spawn. Yet 30 seconds later it's been killed by the SAME early puller every time.

If they kill it, then it's not "an early pull" /thread.

Think you are meaning "Hunts being pulled before I get to them!"

Anyone ever have that feeling of Deja Vu, like we've been here before?

Pretty much this. If someone found a hunt, it's theirs to claim as they please. It's a courteous thing the do when people hold the mob and wait for every single last person in Eorzea that wants to join in, but it's not a requirement by any means.

If someone else pulls it before anyone else intended to engage it, then it is what it is. No one HAS to wait for everyone else, even if it is the "nice" thing to do.

THANK YOU FINALLY some one other than me has said it. And yes we have been here so many times before SE must have been on something if they thought this was a good idea again just put the stuff in world of darkness with a weekly lock out of gear lock. There problem solved.

When I find a mark I shout to wait, you think that stops anyone? lol

From personal experience, it doesn't work most of the time, and it's kind of aggravating to see it happen with S ranks -you- have spotted and shouted about.
Besides the lag spikes you can get from all those people suddenly converging on the same area, marks die so quickly that people sometimes won't simply be able to answer your request if someone just happened to pull the target.

IMHO, it just feels plain wrong to see an S rank gone in under a minute and even A ranks with smart moves (Marraco, Maahes with its petrifying/paralyzing attacks, Hellsclaw come to mind) getting utterly destroyed in less than thirty seconds, and all the while the targeting is coming and going (or just plain failing) because of the load.

Anyway, at this rate the herd should get their carbontwine soon and move on. Please look towards it, I guess?... I suppose we gotta stay positive, and at the very least dungeons cannot be swarmed.
