Thread: The Hunt 3.0

While people might complain, the spawn time in between all of the hunts are quite long and a few minutes of waiting should hardly matter.

Or make them harder to kill. It's pathetic how fast they drop right now. I expected more out of 3.0 hunt monsters myself.

it also baffles me that they didn't learn from hunts in 2.0. Its a joke how long and hard fates are(they are not HARD, don't get me wrong but if you are near one, its not worth doing it since everythign is kinda buffed and takes way too long to kill) with that many people in areas they go down in 5 secs. Why not just buff them a lot, like fates. So if a certain amount of people is close the hp and def rises - or - if the hp goes down fast, the def. rises a lot making it a loooot longer to kill.

And on the other hand... just give us more options to earn hunt marks. Maybe also as a combo in dungeons. That would also give incentive to do them besides helping friends and - later on- tomes.

they did a lot of things right in heavensward, but the core problems are untouched. that is really disappointing.
- hunts are basicly a joke right now
- dungeon-qs for dps still are same bad
- let's hope that endgame will get more positive changes ...

xD well they were slaughtered in seconds at lvl 50 i wouldn't think 60 would be different.

i just bring it up because each new area has 2 A's added with the amount of A ranks we alreadty have and with them taking around 3 hours to respawn (i believe don't actually remember) a hunt should always be up.

course i have no proof and as you said every hunt could be found and killed to fast for it to actually happen (still lvling and not worrying about hunts)

also we do get daily hunt bills and pretty sure we get a weekly. also we can only build a max of 500 (instead of 2k of the older ones)

A's might even give some (not sure) but if they do then you should be able to hunt a bit without having to worry about the toxic zerg.

leveling AST yesterday when we all started lagging and some red icon popped.....then chat exploded ....was amusing how things changed

please take my post lightly.

i merely said a bit of hunting i say this because before 3.0 with a decent size of players zerging (not 2.3 lvl so i know this is different as it's only 2 days into launch and 6 days into how long people have been able to start lvling) but at most after all the hunts were killed (A ranks and maybe a S) there was alittle under an hour 50-60 minutes till the next respawn.

the addition of what 10 rank A's? not sure how many and idk how many rank S's there is many more opportunities to get seals, and the chance of having more than one up at the same time and avoiding the zerg is better.

the way i see it is people can gear up a bit faster making the zerg die down faster.

it actually has to do with B's are now meant to be solo'd (so they have pretty low hp)

A's are for 2-3 groups so it's based around by that much

S's are based around a bit more then those other two so they have a bit more.


none of it are built around a group of 100 plus players. if they did then when hunts did die down small groups would have a hard time trying to fight the bosses.
