HUNTS: please swap daily and weekly hunts

[Giantbane]

So, the A & S rank hunts are a bit of a mess now, but there's a lot of threads dedicated to that so I won't go into it. But you have weekly and daily hunts to work toward your goal at your own pace! Well...

The problem with the current daily hunts is that part of it involves fates. It was one thing to camp fates for your Animus weapon (which has received abundantly negative feedback), but doing it every single day? That's just a waste of time. I'm just not going to bother.

On the other hand, B ranks now spawn every 5 seconds, so it's always up and it's easy enough to go find it and kill it. Even if someone else kills it, it will pop right back up while you're looking so you don't need to worry about missing the kill.

There's also all those kill B rank player achievements. How fast do you think that will happen if you're only killing a B rank once a week?

I would MUCH prefer to hunt down a B rank every day than to be waiting on fates. Please swap the daily and weekly hunt quests (and the rewards). This would be a much more enjoyable for me.

BONUS! You know those giant FATE monsters that show up every once in a while? Cancer, Gorgimera, and that "the eyes have it" boss? Most of the time, those monsters just sit there, no one touches them until they despawn. Makes it difficult for players leveling in that area to ever get to kill them. If they dropped some seals (maybe 50% of an A rank?) they would probably be much more popular, which would help players leveling in the area by allowing them to participate in the kills. I mean, they're big notorious monsters too, don't they deserve the attention of hunters across Eorzea?

Honestly, the whole Hunt system could be redone as it is at this point not very well executed and feels more like a slapped together quick thingie.

I have to agree the FATE ones mostly suck, you get fates that spawn once every couple of hours if your lucky, and unless you happen to be camping the zone you have no way of knowing. so either you sit there for half a day and pray the one you need spawns, or you get lucky.

They've revamped FATE spawns so it really isn't so bad now. Granted, there are a few that could use some tweaking maybe... but for the most part it isn't too hard to get them to spawn quicker. If you are just sitting around doing nothing but waiting for your particular FATE to pop, you may want to revisit your approach. I earned over 500 last week from daily's alone (got just under 700 total--skipped one FATE mark because some A's and an S were popping nearby...was a good trade off considering I got over 5x the seals by the time the FATE popped, and that was with partial credit on the S and 3 A's).

If anything, it seems the FATE marks are easier to get now since the Alex/Atma tweaks seamed to have increased activity in a lot of zones...which impacts FATE spawn rates.

It's often too much time to be bothered to do on a daily basis.

Besides, what about the achievements for the B hunts? To get the final achievement for B rank hunts you need 1000 kills. That's doing the weekly hunt every week for almost 20 years! Currently the B ranks are left alone and barely touched except when the occasional hunter wanders along to get their weekly. Otherwise they're just sitting there untouched for most of the week. There's enough of them for the content to support being killed daily. Unlike the A ranks which can't support all the people hunting them.

The fate ones should be changed to normal 5 second spawning B ranks. Far too often are being forced to hang around a specific map or part of a map for hours on end in case that fate with the mob spawns for measly 20 seals...switch it to one of the 5 second spawn B ranks SE, fates should not be part of the daily hunt marks.

I don't know if they have been tweaked but some of those FATE monsters I can't solo them, for 20 seals. Yet the B rank weekly ones are no issue to solo for 100 seals. Voluptuous Vivian for example I couldn't even put a dent in that thing solo. Course that was a little while ago, have since got a little better gear. I know some of the FATES are for team play, but at least the ones for the hunts should be able to solo them.

Right now I clock close to 4 hours camping the one FATE target in Zanr'ak. I've leveled my WHM a whole level from 46 to 47 by doing the Lv.44-46 FATEs in Zanr'ak.

The relic quest FATE and the Hildebrand FATE have each appeared numerous times, especially the Hildebrand FATE. But no sign of my mob hunt target FATE.

That FATE is notoriously bad for sure. I rarely see anyone even trying to complete it on my server. Having it fail several times in row might make it weaker for the next iteration, but yeah, not worth it imo.

You can get the achievements without doing the weekly hunt. The B ranks are always out there. Go forth and slaughter in the name of Achievement Points.
