The Hunt 3.0

[Nevaldus]

While i love everything about Heavensward and thought there was nothing i hated, i then hit gear farming...why oh why was The Hunt made needed to upgrade Law gear, it is socially poisonous, and one of the worst things that was ever put into this game, i swear the community was much better hen it didn't exist. Ninja pullers , people complaining they don't make it in time, those self-same people after making it in time then telling others "You had plenty of time" , troll hunt locations.

The amount of hate and venom that spits out of players doing the hunt is terrible, while i do not mind doing the hunt, and i now accept that if i miss one it's not the end of the world, it can be a little off-putting at least.

What do you guys think of this?

100% Agreed. It's toxic to the entire community. All I see is hunt spam or people complaining about hunts, and even more self-righteous people complaniing about people complaining about hunts.

Honestly I've loved Heavensward and at this point I don't even want to play the game anymore.

On Gilgamesh it's almost impossible.

I like to think of myself as a calm rational person but it's hard to get trolled for hours and keep a level head.

I was discussing this with some friends earlier. One brought up the idea that as soon as someone comes within a certain amount of yalms of a hunt that a mark be placed on that particular hunt to make it invulnerable until about three to five minutes later to wait for everyone that wants to kill it to come in time. 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.

you can always do 2.0 Rank S's they give both kinds of seals and both kinds of tomes. (at least from what i hear)

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.

Lol. 2.0 hunts still give lawtomes and centurio seals. - And it's even more of a problem. I usually don't even bother to show up to 2.0 hunts unless im already in the zone when its called because these things die laughably easy to a horde of 60s.

Oh, that Thread again...

I plan to avoid the hunts as always. If the game's track record is anything to go off of, the upgrade items will be made available much easier in due time. Just do your dailies (115) and weekly (100) and be done with it until the early enthusiasts are done. The game's been out less than a week, people. Yeesh.

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)

Oh look.... a productive comment.

It's not SE's first time around the block. This is a worse version of the same thing that happened a long time ago. It should have been foreseen. I don't think "don't progress your character for a month" is an adequate choice.

Never participated in hunts, and I never will. Then again, I am not a gear progressionist.
