Elite Hunt Marks

[Darkmagi]

The GW plugin doesn't even give an advantage. Hunt linkshells are going to be faster or just as fast. Minor convenience at best isn't going to stop people from being impatient and pulling quickly.

The Big advantage that GW gives is that it has a high scan range.

While without it, you need to get closer to the mob to see it


My GW app often detects hunts that are not in my sight range

While I agree Hunt groups will always have an advantage the GW app works well. I was fishing and Marberry popped near me and GW announced it. With enough people using GW its a very effective tool. But the hunts die so fast you better already be in the zone or you'll be too late.

It doesn't detect anything that isn't rendered on your game, even if you can't personally see it. This isn't exclusive to gw, ffxivapp radar does the same thing. I'm sure there are other radar-like addons too.

The only advantage it gives is the one rata mentioned, which I presume is what you're talking about. (popped near you without seeing it?) Otherwise it's not doing anything an active hunt linkshell wouldn't be doing at the same speed. It's basically useful for running around and finding monsters without paying attention to your screen, that's all I use it for.

even if they nerf hunt notification by 30sec it won't change much

on Hyp i use Interzone shouts more.

When you see all the shouts saying INV INV INV INV INV INV INV just teleport there and follow the train

You'd be WAY too late on Behemoth. If you have to zone you are already too late, its pretty ridicules what hunts have come to. If 2 pop at the same time both die at the same time. Even in 2.3 the server would organize which mob to go to first.

Hunts have only been relevant again for like 4 days, everyone on the server is doing them and with 125/135 weapons, they're gonna be bad.

Give it time and it'll calm down just like before.

[Icarian]

This time around I've only done hunts to get my WAR her 130 Axe after getting my MNK's twines, I'll get the rest in coil when the tanks get theirs or when WoD starts dropping twines, there's no need to get my WAR full 130 when I can do everything with ilvl 120~ as I don't do coil with my WAR.

[Kaslo]

This just makes me feel better that I'm working on Zodiac before I start working on Hunts so they can calm down.

[Shenrien]

Anyone that runs guildwork that enjoys being lazy with hunts if their server runs the application may want to look into find a useful(I know that's difficult) hunt LS for more accurate notifications if this kinda thing actually gets used on all servers.

way to be late

I find the change very humorous. Functionally no different than what Excal's hunt TS was, except it now informs more people, not to mention a lot of the GW users would have just been part of the Hunt TS had GW not existed. The only change needed was for everyone to come to an agreement on when to pull a mark, which wasn't always 100% even with the TS.

Mads gonna mad and the hunt entitlement is back in full force.

[Ezek]

What are you even doing Stan. Please stop.

[Arthars]

i been bored and read GW

got to say, the way NA handle hunts WITH A PLUGIN are fucked

it went from "i need a plugin so i can join hunt" to "fuck joining PTs, the plugin in GW is the way to go"

wtf you guys want lol

how about a plugin to get you allied seals everytime someone report a pop automatically

hunts were meant for people who want seals to go out and hunt. those who are lazy, dont get to hunt or hit a mob and dont get seals, plain and simple. it has nothing to do with the system or amount of HP the mob has

Premium users will still get a push notification on their phone the second a hunt is detected because the intention of the feature is to allow people to watch TV or do work or homework while waiting for hunt spawns.

idk wtf you did stan but way to go XD the drama is worth it tho

[Lokus]

It all boils down to entitlement.

You're selfish for pulling early.
You're selfish for killing a hunt mob with just your party and not sharing with everyone else.
You're selfish if you're leeching using the GW plugin.
You're selfish if you're using the Hunt TS to have shit called out for you.
You're selfish for claiming an S rank you didn't spend time spawning.

I mean, it's expected. SE didn't learn from Hunts 1.0 and released the laziest way to gear up possible again. If people can put even less effort into getting stuff, they will.

[Arthars]

the thing is the problems you guys faced is not what everyone else is facing

1-2 NA servers having human problems doesnt warrant a fix

hunts are fine here since it was launch. im sure many other servers including some NA servers are laughing after reading BG/GW on how hunts were done on problematic servers

i mean, people are relying on a plugin and anyone who has access to GW can basically leech. what does this have to do with SE original concept of hunts?

the hunt system is bad, i do agree, but have you guys wonder what is the real problem here? :X when a plugin for a world content is released for anyone who can download, you should have expected a shit storm

my greatest surprise was why a veteran like stan even allowed these kind of plugin to be made

JPs dont use GW, so i can never use the feature myself but thank god

Because monetizing the app to lock certain features behind it and profiting from poor coding and routing all information that people gather while using the app through an over glorified IRC server.

hunts on my server

Mob dead. Yup thats all about the people who are "hunters".
im pretty sure no one uses GW on JP server. so no leechers, these are the people in the PF hunt LS.
People who are not hunting are not in the LS and are obviously not in the pic. People who really want allied seals will join the PF hunt LS.
problemo solved
its been like this across JP servers i know of since hunt is launched.

Now, before people always yell for SE to fix something thats not really broken for the majority, ask your self, is this people's problem? or is this simply a "all too convinient plugin that i can use while i work/do homework/watch TV" 's fault haha

makes sense O_O
