[90k error incoming] The Hunt is back...

[EdgeFayth]

From preliminary patchnote:

Clan mark logs obtained from hunts can be exchanged with Bertana in Idyllshire (X:5 Y:5) for the following items:
Illuminati Gobtwine / Carboncoat / Wyvern Horn

(the logs can be bought with 500 3.0 seals).

Was it really necessary? I always considered giving such items as a reward for The Hunt was a huge mistake. Why gain?

Lesson still unlearned...

Meh it was to be expected.

SE not to be rude but are you guys really that blind to what this will cause?

I like it, I do hunts all the time, if you don't like it go do savage and fight for lots.

And once you've done alexander savage for the week... back to doing hunts, because it's really one of the only things you can do. Heck, if you could make it, you'd be better off leaving alex savage just to do a hunt mark.

If they really wanted to make hunts optional, they should have made it share a cap. Make it share a page drop with the alex savage and then you'd really have a choice.

Hunts are pathetic...

On their own? Great. When I can challenge them on my terms, they're actually pretty fun. Problem is, SE keeps doing this, which gives Hunts an absurd demand and means I cannot challenge them on my terms, I have to either wait for the entire bleedin' server, or promptly get blacklisted by said server. When Hunts have this kind of demand, they just plain suck IMO, real sick of SE doing this...

Make them force popped and they're perfect. I've been saying this since their inception, getting real tired of it...

Forced pop defeats the point of the system.

what would make it better is to make B Ranks a Daily Bill at like 25 or 50 and A Ranks the Weekly Bill at like 250 and leave the S Ranks alone.

Forced pop defeats the point of the system.

What's the point of the system then? I thought it was meant to be open world content. Force pops are still open world content... Better open world content if anything, since I'd imagine those pop items would have to come from somewhere...

Dangerous open world content? The fact that there is no claiming system defeats the point of that, when something goes from 100% to 0% in a matter of seconds because the entire server is on it... Well, they've only ever felt dangerous solo, so by giving them this kind of demand again, they've defeated that purpose again... To newbs and gatherers, they've only ever been a nuisance, they occasionally get in the way and perhaps cause the zone to lag out as the whole server piles in on one spot... Nevermind the drama they constantly cause in shouts...

Unless Hunts were specifically designed to reward people for minimal effort, and create a generally toxic environment... I don't see how force pops would defeat their purpose... I thought the entire point was to get people using the open world, rather than it being a glorified lobby for the Duty Finder, force pops doesn't change that at all... Whatever twisted point random spawns like this was meant to serve, I'd gladly see it gone anyway... Force pops lets individuals and groups enjoy all Hunts has to offer (not just the lame Mark Bills), it lets SE actually balance the mobs, and it is generally just better for the entire community. I'd much rather have numerous groups working on different Hunts as they like, than having the entire server swarm from zone to zone, creating drama when ever anyone dare pull "early".

What's the point of the system then?

to travel around the open world to look for them. that's the point of A and B Ranks.

Forced Pops are not hunts. might as well ask them to add a new level of Unhidden Maps that are much harder and drop the upgrade items.

when something goes from 100% to 0% in a matter of seconds because the entire server is on it...

hence my suggestion for A Rank Weekly and B Rank Daily Bills. how is that not better than Force Pops and still keep the general hunt system in place the way it's designed?
