Cross World Visitation is Hurting Hunts

[DumdogsWorld]

Snip!

I think they barred timed nodes on visited servers for technical reasons, quite frankly. The timer in question is likely being processed/tracked by your home server, so allowing timed nodes on other servers could potentially open up the ability to gather a timed node multiple times by visiting another server with another timer.

It's the same for hunts in a sense - every server has its own hunts. The difference between hunts and timed nodes, however, is that the players already on that server can kill the hunt before you even get there, essentially making hunts a shared resource.

Is it a smart design? Probably not. But you can at least see why they did it this way upon delving deeper.

Something needs to be done about this, honestly. It's been a nightmare for Malboro which is an otherwise ok place to do hunts. // SE please make an alternate source for allied seals. It's a nightmare to try and do a relic now that cross world hunts are up.

SE please make an alternate source for allied seals.

Enter BLU's Masked Carnival, which gives Allied Seals as a reward. If you need materials for the relic they should also be purchasable with either GC seals or Poetics.

BLU's endgame gives them.

Seems OK on Diabolos, which is also on the Crystal DC. Hunt trains don’t seem to be a bad thing on our server even with visitors.

Unfortunately thats the whole point of the world visit system and what your asking is just silly i to am frome coeurl and i have 0 problems getting to hunts even with ps4 load times so i feel what your asking is abit unreasonable

Thank you for the tip. I've gotten my blu up and a lot of the skills but I haven't played with carnivale yet. So maybe it's time.

I did want to suggest a fix for hunts as I'd thought about it for a while.
1. Make it so that a timer starts when person enters mobs hitbox. Set a feasible timer, such as 2-5 min. Two or three min almost would seem a miracle, usually these hunts are literally dead in 30 sec after called. It gives no time.
2. To do this they were have to change the threat table to not aggro players.
3. Lastly, to accommodate more players entering the zone, with the added time to start, make the mob scale to the players in the zone.

It might not be a perfect solution but it's probably better than what we have now, IMO. Honestly, for the difficulty of seals grind overall, I'd make the choice to stay for an Srank over going into a duty if in duty finder. That would be the only drawback to say a 2 or 3 min timer. It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make, but I can't speak for other players. Also to note: I noticed someone said that whoever gets there first should be able to kill it, but these people are using third party software to give them an unfair advantage over players who do not and the no scaling on the 50s, it makes it ridiculously easy to kill those low zone mobs. So, no this is not technically fair as it breaks TOS.

If you are after Allied Seals, I suggest that you focus your efforts on Rank A mobs. While it's less seals, nobody cares about them and nobody is in such a rush to kill them, so you'll probably end up with more.

You can easily find these Rank A mobs yourself in ARR areas. Just look around in each one. If there are non up on your world, visit a different world and find them there. Eventually you'll find a world that has neglected them and rack up seals fast.

Thanks, I will give that a go. I'm working on farming some anima and the one relic (Nirvana for whm) in my spare time. So far I've been trying to catch S-ranks as they spawn, while working on tying loose ends before Shadowbringers. I'll start working on just farming those A-ranks next.

Of course you'd be from Coeurl lol
