Hunts need help

[Besame]

I know it is always bad after any msq that involves gear but dang, 250+ in my last hunt A rank group? Horrible lag and congestion, people so obsessed they map bosses before, hit once then groups move to next boss or zone and when the maingroup finally gets there, the boss is almost dead or dead upon landing. I'd like to see world visit off for hunts. Becoming impossible. Any other suggestions that are viable and not smart alec would be sweet.

it's only like this because it's a new patch with new tome mats and hunt trains are an easy way to get tomes to buy to craft or to sell. it will die down in a while.

If only all the terrible attempts at humor would die down as well. Maybe it's just a Crystal thing.

What humor? He is 100% correct.

Nah, it's not a Crystal thing. I've seen it happen in trains in other data centers as well. While it's usually at its worst when a streamer is attending the train, school has let out for summer in many places. We won't be getting much relief until they go back to school.

I’ve been quitting a bunch of hunt trains lately because lag and congestion made me miss several marks. Maybe travel priority should be given to people playing a char on the world/dc where the hunt happens.

That's an unfortunate side effect of the patch being released at the same time school is getting out for summer. Now that Savage has started, the attendance should go back down among the raiders who don't normally attend trains regularly. Diablo IV and FFXVI should also be big distractions for part of the general player base over the next month, hopefully thinning out some of the train crowds.

It usually takes longer for Tues and Saturday trains to settle back to normal size but off peak and most other days of the week should be better starting next reset.

Yes how dare people act silly and goofy. Don't they know hunts are 100% business? /sarcasm

Hunts should never have devolved to the point where you can zerg them. Killing a mob within a few seconds is terrible design and should be discouraged. People who travel should get an hour long debuff or something. Change my mind.
