The Hunt is no longer fun

[Tsumdere]

If you want the hunts, you find/spawn them yourself. Yes, you will still miss some. It sucks. It really does. But that is the way it works now since Yoshi-P thinks "lol hunts r old content lol".

ARR hunts on my server die in literally 2 seconds. I would record it if my computer did not have a nuclear meltdown if running two programs at once. On RDM, I literally only have time for a Jolt + Dualcast before things are dead. It doesn't help that some people (namely the people who show up to a call they did not find/spawn and instapull) start spamming /shout macros about how its a competition and dev team says so neener-neener.

It's stupid that a certain currency is pretty much locked behind this thin veener of "competition" in a game that encourages teamwork in literally all other content. Just buff ARR and HW hunts to level 70 and be done with it already.

That all being said - Start a hunt party and look for things yourself. Make a rule to call in party first so the active hunters have time to arrive before making any calls in LSes. Works like a charm.

People keep making these threads because they rely on OTHER people to actively find or spawn these hunts, while thinking they have the obligation to wait indefinite periods of time for everyone to make it there.

Hunts have been this way since ARR, they have always been as "fun" as they are now in regards to people waiting or not waiting for others.

Active hunters are no more obligated to wait for late comers than you are to spawn/look for them if you dont want to.

As for the tiger - no. Leave the achievement this way as a reward for the few people who put actual effort into being and participating in this content for a long time.

We have other such achievements - in PvP (field commander gear and frontlines mounts) that require time put into this content to win x times and get a reward out of it. Now, the same happens to hunts. :P

I disagree, the other content that you have listed (non-rank PVP) actually need a shiny carrot (glamour/mounts/minion) to keep them alive for as long as possible, and while said content is alive, there is no artificial time gate (or in such absurd amount) to block them from grinding it unlike the S rank spawn timers for the tiger mount. Setting aside rank PVP exclusives, I think the tiger mount is probably the only achievement reward with a ridiculous amount of artificial time gate. I suppose there's the ARR sightseeing log minion, but they change how that works for HW/SB.

Was it at some point? o_O

hunts are free for all, no obligation to wait for anyone. missed it? too bad, so sad. =p

I kinda given up on the Hunt for a while due to a lot of impatience for anyone who would also wish to participate. There's also elitists circles who'll just rush in kill and rush out ahead of those that gathered to prepare to attack. This last incident was just too much as it was only 24 seconds after the first call, the S rank was killed. Please refer to image below.



I miss the Heavensward days.

Pictured: 2 botanists not helping spawn an S rank and getting mad they got nothing for doing nothing.

We were not actually searching for any hunts at the time. Instead this an observation upon something that has become an issue with the community, and how people who were on their way or being polite enough to wait on others being shafted by an impatient person who themselves only discovered the hunt most likely by the same shout that is attracting others. Private hunt parties going around and laying hunts low isn't the problem here, nor the fact that we were two botanists just passing through the area.

Honestly it saddens me to see all these 'Stop being lazy' people. That isn't an excuse for SE's stupid design decision. I personally scout for my A-rank kills, and call them out for others, because that is the system we are left with. A-ranks respawn every 3-5 hours depending on the hunt, and give 40 seals. S-ranks give 100, but spawn every 3 days or so. You need 4,250 Allied Seals to get every single zone completed for the ARR speed maps. Yes, you can lower the numbers some by doing your daily and weekly Allied hunts but it is still a pain and a long wait.

This is a system that shouldn't be this broken in the first place, and I am honestly sad that the team is being so apathetic on the issue. They should at the very least make current hunts give Allied Seals, as Allied hunts give Centurio.

But what we don't need is people coming here, on what should be a proper topic of conversation and debate, and just saying 'git gud, stop being lazy and spawn it yourself'

What is there to discuss on OP's point? I agree that Allied Seals need a rework, sure, but the topic's "hunting is not fun because people aren't waiting for me" is not particularly debatable.

That was the same at the start of HW. People are just polite if they wait for other people, they are not supposed to wait.
