Hunts

[VraeliaValkyria]

Could the development team please make it that Hunts for Heavensward and ARR areas not be able to be attacked immediately after they are spawned? I am trying to get a piece of glam from Flame's with Allied seals. And I can't ever participate in ARR Hunts to gain that due to everyone camping it or using a program to let them know where and when hunts spawns. It is giving players who are actually wanting to kill hunts the disadvantage.

Make the hunts impervious to any attacks. and if someone pulls it early without giving others time, to let it wipe them and their party. A lot of people are getting sick of early pulling. Something needs to be done about this.

Please, Dev Team. Make something happen!

If the hunt was successfully killed, it wasn't pulled early. Period.

Hunts aren't a handout, nobody has to wait while everyone shows up for free rewards. If you want to guarantee you receive the spoils of a hunt you need to be actively participating, not just waiting for a linkshell to chime. You aren't entitled to participation points on every hunt that gets called.

It is called

THE HUNT

not

THE WAIT

[Lambdafish]

You are correct, but your solution is wrong: Devs, can you please give ARR hunts more health so that people have a chance to get there while it is being zerged. Do the same for both in SB so that hunts in all zones are endgame content.

[Fluffernuff]

Yes, let us punish players for participating in and completing content. The most brilliant of ideas!


...Seriously, I havent known a single person that does hunts regularly that relies on or used 3rd party programs for exact hunt locations. I'm sure they exist, but they arent the norm form what I've seen.

What I DO see are dedicated linkshells with people that call out spawns for people to get to in time. I dunno how populated Sargatanas is, but if I could find a few hunt LS in goblin within a week of transferring, I highly doubt Sarg wouldn't have any.

Try your luck with those. Sure would be a bit better than trying to punish legitimate players

I'm confused... if we are talking A and B ranks then the spawn timers are pretty short, just spend some time hunting and you'll get the rewards. If you're talking about S ranks the bulk of which have specific spawn reqs that have to be fulfilled, people are spawning these, they don't just spawn on thier own.

As others have mentioned if you didn't put in the work to spawn the hunt then you're not entitled to the reward, yes it is common etiquette for LS and shouts to go out but ultimately if the players who put in the effort to spawn go and kill it's thier provocative.

As for prepullers, it happens but on my server (can't vouch for others) people are aware who pulled and if they are a repeat offender all the LS leaders remove that player from any hunt linkshell after being warned.

Do your daily Hunts as well which reset every 24 hours at 6:00PM JP time, sure the Allied Notes you get aren't a large amount, but they all add up, as you're only fighting regular 'trash' mobs and FATE NMs that have a set respawn rate, in addition to the weekly B rank Hunt and searching for A and S ranks.

Also if I come across any Hunt NM, whether B, A or S rank, I immediately shout out it's location regardless if I want to fight it or not. I've had many people send me tells saying how appreciative they are being notified. To me, it's just being polite.

While a jerk thing to do, the problem stems from hunt mobs having too little HP. They're zerged down in seconds. If they could actually survive for more than a blink of an eye or had mechanics to work with, this wouldn't be an issue.

Weeeeell, they kind of do have some HP and some mechanics to work with. When you don't have 5 alliances wailing away at them all at once.

Feel sorry for the a-rank called out when everyone's already wound up from an s-rank.

Join a "Hunt Linkshell", as example, i have 2 active LS on my server (in which i both an active member).
People usually wait at least 3-4 minutes before pulling an A rank(even ARR ones).
S Rank is a different story, though. Usually, people wait 10~ mins there, but sometimes "early pullers" do the job.
