Elite Hunt Marks

[Edelweiss]

I was kidding, and mainly talking about how QQ-butthurt the NA community is being. If you actually TRY to "hunt" these, you will have success. However, if you are solo and waiting around for an LS-call, you won't.

Nope. Roaming 6-to-full parties of tool-aided FCs don't really leave you much time if you're not all there in under a minute (or way less if they're all close). Unless we're suddenly counting B-ranks as successes, since no one important gives a fuck about them.

Regardless, this is all pretty poorly implemented. lol

I don't know, I've discovered my own A ranks and have enough time for party+friends to all show up. Maybe Hyperion just isn't as "bad" or you've hit some horrible peak-times floods.

I think B is a success for now

4 Bs = an A you know and i stopped gungho mode now.

as of now, im just going to farm 100p a day and look for Ss during window/conditions met

no one else server's golem in south thanalan popped aside from mine? pretty sure its opened unless your server only just killed it recently

We have not seen the Golem spawn yet on Leviathan, but I believe our initial kill was later in the day, so his spawn window may not be open yet.

It's pretty much always the same 2-3 FCs at every A and S within a minute (often less) of it popping on Midgardsormr. Between the accumulation of information on spawn points and the skyrocketing use of tools in quickly locating marks from the 3rd day on; since then it's just everyone else grasping at shitty Bs as no one else can really compete with their groups being able to roll in swiftly while randoms just try to get organized before commencing the zerg.

ffxiv: Dragon's Aery

This is what people wanted. The good part is that its not required to be high-end.

Its poorly implemented. Just like Aery was.

[Arthars]

when u mean quickly locating WITH tools, you mean they literally have exact pop location shown to them?

or you mean radar because even radar requires you to look for the mobs physically lol

2-3FCs would prolly mean an army searching zones

unless the tool you meant is something else, allowing them to spot a pop 1000 yalms away, which i dont wanna know

also aery wasnt badly implemented. you guys have to realise it is the humans, which is us, making a big gigantic fuss out of everything people couldnt lay their hands on.

i farmed aery etc in XI before NA stepped into scene for 1+ years. after that, no biggie if i cant claim, but NA always makes a fuss when they couldnt

people will always envy/jealous over better groups/LS/FCs

you know justin bieber? cos i would fucking murder him in a heart beat, you know what i mean

The system is fine (although it could do with HP scaling). The rewards are what were poorly implemented. Sands/Oils off of open-world zergfest content?

[Ratatapa]

Relax with the free Sand/oil It won't make people beat coil because they got 3 sands

The fact that all gear was 110 in coil was stupid from the start

in 2.1 you had Myth gear + coil gear at 90 and no one complained that they had the 'same gear'

That doesn't mean it was a well designed progression system.

Nandi just died on Excal.

[Arthars]

sand and oil is severely overatted

coil 2 is alot easier to clear with il100 than twintania with il80

you do realise the sand/oil system is to keep us on a ferris wheel right?

making us go round and round but it does absolutely nothing game-breaking if you already beat coil 10-12 weeks ago

do it if you want an oil/sand or 2, dont do it if you know its gotta make u rage like a hulk

[Ratatapa]

Not becuase you don't like it that it's a bad system

Cannot please everyone

Its awesome for people like myself who have had Shit luck with Coil drops. Finally got my first i110 left side piece thanks to Hunts. (12 weeks in Coil2)

[Arthars]

thats true taint..... but what i meant is that even with your skills, im sure you clear coil2 with those il100s

now, for peeps who dont have the skill, and dont wanna devote time on hunt/atma/animus/novus seriously, lets do a 720 day subscription reward and give them 20sand/oils

official forums are still bitching atmas, i mean srsly?!

bad/flawed system: yes

being lazy is another problem by itself

At least that RNG wasn't combined with additional upgrade items that you really enjoyed giving to someone knowing there's a shot you might not see them next run after they quit/have to leave the static because of work, school, or shit happening. I really enjoyed giving up Sands to ensure people had 110 weapons to make things easier for us, only to have that shit wiped out by circumstances beyond my control twice over.

Coil's gear RNG is fucking stupid and it's inconvenient enough without complciating things through upgradable gear that tries to stretch the sole endgame content out even further. I finally gave up on Second Coil after my static fell apart for good just recently. Since 2.2 we've only really missed like 2 weeks due to people having finals and shit, and we never saw a single piece of Fending; combine that with the Oil/Sand bullshit and our tanks (of which I was one) were largely left with fucking nothing besides a pitiful single Sand we threw at Noct Loricas.

[Arthars]

after coil 1, my mindset of obtaining gears in FFXI ARR has changed

it is not like FFXI where you can gear swap and everything has its use.

why work so hard for things you can spam over and over when 2.4 comes

being said, its weekly affair and shouldnt stop people from doing it, getting the 8 blues a week

if you get yours, good, if not, no biggie. just have fun

8 out of 17 of my friend quitted because they couldnt handle the truth when DL they farmed in 2.0 become useless in 2.1 and coil 1 gears they farmed so hard become useless in 2.2

take it easy, good things will come to an end, move on

trust me even if you cant do hunt for these 2-3 weeks cos you suck as a person and people dont want you, or luckless on good hunt LSs, you didnt miss a shit come 2.4

however all these little thing, that dont really matter in the end, is starting to seperate people in terms of gears by a slightest bit and also being a person

nice work SE

[Neon_Sea]

Yup gear is whatever, after 2.0 definitely noticed you have to not really care about it. The real end game is -Glamour-. That is why I am so salty that you need to do hunts for the Malestorm gear :/ I do NOT want to do this shit, it is the worst zerg ever. So that leaves me just getting the weekly amount and taking forever to get stuff.

it's not a bad system because some of us don't like it. it's a bad system because the supply doesn't satisfy the demand. did you know Melt has an AOE paralyze that can't be Esuna/Leech? i'm sure 9 out of 10 people who has killed it don't.

A ranks were designed to be fought by 4-10 people. there is no fighting these mobs, there's only slaughter. as terrible as XI was at least the one group that does gets claim gets to participate in a fight after.

[Akiyama]

can you imagine the massive QQ if only one group who claimed the B/A (couldn't do ti on S's really) got the credit for it? It'd be an outrage in this day in age LOL.
