Hunt rewards should be disabled for voyagers (imo)

[wayneker]

I believe it to be unfair that players from other timezones can come to our DC (Materia) and spawn all of our S ranks while the majority of our population is asleep and will miss out on them completely, while we are deprived of the chance to do the same for other DCs. This has been happening consistently for a couple weeks now.

I believe rewards should be disabled, at least for S ranks, so voyagers are not incentivized to come and spawn all the S ranks they can while the native population with regular sleep/work schedules (not me) are unable to participate.

I understand there's nothing stopping natives from spawning them in the middle of the night as well, and it did happen occasionally, but in my opinion, it is a completely different thing when there's hundreds of voyagers running trains to pop every single S rank that has an open window while barely any of the native population is online.

Thank you for reading, let's have a civilized discussion.

Why not do the same to them?

[IttyBittyShark]

i've felt this same way since DC travel launched, but it won't ever change. i think i actually made a post about this very same topic some years ago. it's very frustrating, especially if it's people from your own server doing all the work and someone from a different server doing the pulling. lol.

off-topic but i genuinely don't like DC travel at all and preferred when each server had their distinct people.

[Xellith]

I disagree. I think they should rework the hunt system so it's not dumb.

Materia players are currently unable to visit other DCs, but other DCs can visit Materia freely.

Even if it weren't the case, I would still be in support of disabling hunt rewards for voyagers, even if we could benefit from DC travel as well. I don't believe we should have to travel to other DCs and deal with the inconveniences that entails just to make up for the hardcore hunters who are happy to DC hop to min-max.

they cant. travel is locked.

I'm not from Materia but it's stuff like this that stops me from moving there.

Some love hunts, some just can't bear even doing them.

Me, I just can't bother, and if I can't bother to start. I just won't bother period.

So clearly I'll be siding more with those who get their DC/Homeworlds Practically Raided. Same Applies to Dynamis in a slightly varying degree of extremity.

(Though I probably have the same thought process with World Fates. People just don't have time. and if they put time aside, how does that benefit the general player asides.)

__________________________________________

Sometimes I feel like the game needs a Timer or Content Delay for some of this stuff. so most can get the MSQ done in peace. and then once the timer/gate opens, they can start prepping for the meat of the game.

As it's always a race to not be behind.

__________________________________________

While I cannot say how it would be best to adjust the system overall. It would help to keep communities to establish their own PF/DF. if they are completely locked to their Worlds.

I'd almost jokingly say, until Savage or after.

As for DCs like Materia/Dynamis(or shadow and etc etc.) Having Free Trials, and new characters funneled there would help.

But as for the main point OP put out.

I'd say, getting rewards should be possible. But as most generally only care for the Achievement Tracker if they're that Hard about hunting them down.

Deny it, when offdc/world for a time. (if permanently is too much for some players wittle gaming the systems.)

[I mean, we got like 6 instances earlier on in DT for two zones. Even if reduced, you still got multiple instances. Gaming the options given to you, more than wanted/planned by the devs, is what gets things changed like it did for MSQ Roulette. (Which I supported/Asked for. It's Roulette. Not "Pick and choose or else I'd Dip/Ditch Sprouts.")]

Only if we reduce the amount of s ranks needed from 1000 to 300 or something
the only reason these are remotely reasonable is because of world travel

I think it's important to use correct terminology to avoid confusion here. I think world travel is great, it's DC travel I have issue with. And if you think it's rough getting 1000 kills without DC travel, imagine your DC couldn't use it but every other DC could and comes to kill 30-50%+ of your S ranks during your dead period lol.
