Cross World Visits Are Ruining Hunts

[Rolanberries]

Well sorry but you are not on our server and it has been the standard for us to wait after initially calling it in linkshells since hunts were introduced so yes there is such a thing when the majority waits.

That doesn't take away from the fact that there's no right or wrong way to do hunts. World server visits will remain and you'll just have to find a way around cross server early pullers if it bothers you so much.

From another thread

You will miss maybe 3-4 A ranks in your home world, but now you have access to 84 more A ranks in other servers, and that's only counting SB ones. They are on a such low respawn timer that there's almost always a train running somewhere.

It's time to change your mindset around hunts, the new way to hunt will give people far more A and S than they could ever hunt before.

Hello my fellow Goblineer, I agree with u it has shot our awesome hunt community into a frenzy and good luck getting a CWHL cause everyone sais go through discord instead of our old way of just shouting and getting a LS invite and A ranks die quicker then a lvl 70 pld doing a big pull in the burn wearing lvl 60 gear.

But for what it's worth I made a CWHL and am currently recruiting and would love to have fellow long term hunters like u join, other then that I'm just trying to find some stability cause our hunt scene got turned upside down.

You have taken the right approach, world visit isn't going away, but you can work with other servers to participate in their trains, and overall its a net gain for everyone involved. People are hunting upwards 300 S ranks per week, an achievement that took years is now reduced to a 2 months grind.

Ohh yeah.. that white tiger thing isn't gonna be a pipe dream for people anymore =]

The world visit system is starting to cause the same problems you would get on the WoW cross-realm zone system in a way. You get people that harass others.

It's a bit worse here because you can't report someone as easily because you don't know what server they are from or anything. It leaves the door open to harass people like no other.

It's only going to get worse.

You can always check their search info or start sending them a tell to see what world they're hailing from

Yes it is. And the reasoning you stated here is why. Maybe it isn't a "rule" or maybe it hasn't been made a rule because of the hope that people will cooperate with each other, you know, like adults instead of arguing amongst themselves about the fact that "too bad I CAN..no one said I CAN'T" as if they need rules to function instead of governing themselves (rules are babysitters, made for those who can't function on their own). Of course those who love the turmoil they cause will revel in it, it always brings those out. Those who ask for cooperation will be admonished and ridiculed for it because "we CAN..." as always.

There have been a good amount of these threads; I think one of them with almost this exact name.

The new cross world visit system is ruining hunts.

In your opinion, it is ruining them; in others' it has improved them and got a lot more people to hunt who previously felt the spawners on their world hogged all of the hunts. People who struggled to get enough S ranks after work are now getting plenty. It doesn't matter who you are, there is now something for you to spawn that someone else isn't spawning. Someone else spawn your agrippa? Go use your maps on 7 other worlds! Miss Gamma because you were in a dungeon? Go and spawn it on another world! It's so much better now.

Goblin's hunt community was one of the best. We have always waited 5+ minutes on S ranks and 4 minutes for A ranks.

I tried waiting 5 minutes at a Goblin A rank. Guess what? People still ran up to it as it died and missed it. However long you wait people will complain. 2-3 minutes is enough for me to get to a hunt on another world, and was enough for me before I had a high-end PC with an SSD.

When a hunt is called you need to teleport immediately or you'll miss it. You can enable chat timestamps in your settings so you can see if the call was made in the same minute you got back from being afk.

Now we are being plagued by early pulls

The anti-wanderer attitude of a minority of individuals is what causes people to early pull on Goblin, honestly. If there is a hunt up on another world it may get pulled fast too.

the last S rank I went to at 3 am CST was nearly all wanderers.

People from Goblin who I am rather certain relay to hunt linkshells were present, so there just wasn't anyone in those hunt linkshells that were interested in showing up. It's hardly our fault if Goblin doesn't care about its hunts. We spread the word, there was a decent wait and it took ages to die. The hunt was right by the aetheryte too. I don't see the problem here.

Better yet, just do away with the visit system.

It's important for distributing load during an expansion launch, given their past problems. It's their alternative to a cross-world marketboard, which was not realistic from a development standpoint. They want you to be able to do hunts and maps with your friends on other worlds. It's hugely convenient to be able to visit your friends on other worlds, enter their houses, or just not have this barrier there. I have met so many great people and made so many friends, including from Goblin, thanks to this.
