Regarding the Centurio Tiger Mount

[Mavrias]

Or they can sit there and not pull until the invul is down thus giving everyone time to get there? Assuming you can even pull something you can't do damage to, if you did pull it, that's honestly your fault.

Sight aggro can pull just about anything. Additionally mistakes happen. I pulled Bird of Paradise on my bard because i forgot i had auto attacks again when Stormblood first dropped. I've seen ton of people, sprouts and veterans alike just straight up wander into hunts by accident. Plus the handful of S-ranks that spawn right on top of you once they're triggered. The cyclops in Central Thanalan whose name escapes me at the moment comes to mind. Kaiser Behemoth is another although he just has a chance to spawn on top of you, he has an equal chance of doing so a short distance away as well.

I'd much rather they redesign how hunts work than simply use the achievements/mount as a fix. As it stands, you'll get credit for more S ranks if you actively hunt, but it's the least efficient way to go about getting credit. You can make a quite a bit of progress just by leeching in a linkshell and using a tracker/radar.

Yeah -- when people use a hunt radar third party program that practically calls out where a hunt is provided you're in the same area, those of us who aren't on PC really have no chance.

The program you're referring to has a website and last I checked a phone app in beta. Easily available to those on PS4. And someone needs to be close to the hunt mob foe the program to pick it up and report it to everyone else, meaning that person is more than likely actively hunting anyway if they're doing zone sweeps. It's essentially a more convenient callout macro. If you're trying to snipe hunts that's absolutely not a program you would want running on your computer while you're doing it. There are also a large number of people who hunt without it.

The thing that bothers me about hunts really is the very thing that bothers me about Gold Saucer stuff. You can only do it when you're not doing anything else. Like with Astrope from the Mentor Roulette, you can set aside a dedicated time to do that roulette on your own. You can work toward it at your own pace and that makes it more meaningful. But hunts are another thing entirely - every one of them has their own special conditions, some of which are tied to server whims or not. It's beyond the player's control and it's not something they can realistically set aside a chunk of time to work toward UNLESS they want to do that to the exclusion of everything else.

At least with almost everything else in this game, you can work on A while you're also waiting for B.

I really wish they wouldn't take the most-requested mounts and put them behind ridiculous requirements. Conversely, I wouldn't want them to be handed out like candy. Somewhere in between would be a good balance.

Simply put:

Let hunters work toward the mount at their own pace by letting daily/weekly hunts count toward the total.

Let PVPers work toward their hellhounds by accumulating wolf collars throughout ranking seasons of the Feast.

Yup, I really enjoy PVP but never stand a chance of ever obtaining a prize through The Feast, I often work 60-84 hours a week and with the time I do have to play I've got to try to cap so I don't fall behind with gear, I'll hunt because I enjoy it and then there's that whole being alive outside of a video game which seems to be punishable by SE.

We just use a few Hunt LS's dedicated to relaying info on our server. Every now and then you might miss one but typically you can grind a few dozen A ranks a day easily if you're really into it and don't take forever to teleport there.

Even halving it a working stiff like me that gets 20 hours a week and flies to every call I can I'm at 1100 A's and 300 S's. I took 4 months out in the midst, but it would still take me 2 to 3 years to get at half the S ranks. I agree I like it takes dedication, but what am I supposed to get a site stand desk with a Treadmill and sit here like a hamster on a wheel. I may as well get a Tesla battery for my home and sell the power I get treadmillin' it to help pay for my sub while I'm at it.

[Mozerlam]

I don't mind the Tiger being so far away to obtain,

Something which really is not okay are the spawn times of the S Ranks. So we wait the 80 or so minimum hours for the HW and SB S Ranks, but then purely based on RNG or whatever, they may not appear for up to 50 hours.That is 2 freaking days! I highly doubt these things weren't tested by the twonks who constantly tell SE everything they want to hear. Too many people spend too many hours trying to make the S Ranks appear with no pay off. It's really unacceptable and not enough people are angry about it. All the people I spawn S Ranks hate it, people who don't spawn them will just say "well, it's up to you how you spend your time" but when the S Ranks is pretty much the only thing to do in the open world (especially if you don't have a house) then it is a huge pain. SE needs to pull their heads from their arse and realise that it is way out of order to give these things such a huge window to appear. Reduce them all to 6 hours.

Maintenance tomorrow, Patchday in 3 days - what a great time to hunt...
