I feel the same way!
Worst thing about it is that it even causes drama in FC for us...

It works if you believe enough. But really it doesn't.

What does RNG actually stand for? All I keep seeing is Ranger.

Thank youuuu.
Random number generator.
Ok thx guys. But you can tag and then run for the next FATE? Atma's can drop with a failed FATE right?
I've never heard about one dropping in a failed FATE, but it does say in the description that you just need to participate.
People who pull early are just hurting themselves in the long run by breeding this atmosphere.
Sure, that Rank B dies too quick if you wait too long and you only get 1 or 3 allied seals. So instead you pull early and you get the full 5. Great. But then someone else pulls too early on an A or S rank and you only get 12 or 15 or you miss it entirely when you could have got 20 or 50 by them just waiting for a designated time.
I wonder how JP servers / other servers are doing it. Seems we have a bad crowd on Ultros.

In our FC there is a close knit group of players that aren't sharing hunt info with the rest anymore. So yeah, it's all about the ME now.
Let the hate flow. I can take it ultros.

Ahahaha, this is brilliant. I hope they never change it as the soap opera/spectator sport element is tremendous.
Remarkably, players farming casual content and flipping out at casuals who don't play by hardcore rules is apparently a disaster on many servers. It just makes no sense for somebody who doesn't want to grind hunts to abide by the grinding rules, since the grinding rules are designed to max reward specifically for the grinding people, and that's not an Ultros-specific conflict.
Sarg people are pretty okay. Except for MrHappy, but yeah. I haven't run into any innately nasty people on Sarg except PF, but that's a given anywhere.
But, the last day or so all of the hunt LS have been dead quiet. No one wants to tell anyone else when a hunt pops anymore. SE really, really needs to address this and fix it. Make them more difficult, because as soon as a mark pops they melt within a minute.
What are they supposed to fix? What you're asking for is basically to turn them into FATEs. Which they probably should by now because that is the only thing people are really suggesting. If people want to farm them like mad, SE seems perfectly fine with that. People are gaining myth and seals at a crazy rate as it is. If people are assholes about all this, they were assholes from the get go.
What do you mean by the bolded btw?

Isn't that working like it was supposed to in the first place? The whole calling everyone on the server for every hunt was the stuff that needed fixing. The marks were clearly not designed for everyone to zerg on, since they die instantly. They were meant to be hunted in parties and maaaybe shouting for help for S ranks. This whole waiting till everyone gets there to maximize rewards is the stuff they would have had to fix, but doesn't seem to be an issue anymore and that's fine. Otherwise the rewards were just too good compared to the rest of the content.

When odin/behemoth are up, if there isn't anyone in the FC going just shout and you'll get an invite.
They should add some challenge, at least. B and A rank marks are soloable and really simple. Those should perhaps be beefed up a bit.
Also, isn't there an issue now with an app that allows for people to see hunts when they pop as opposed to finding them by chance as their roaming about? Thats a disadvantage to those who don't use one of those programs.
Finally, the MrHappy in his tutorial vidoes isn't the MrHappy you seem streaming or even running around on the server. He's a bit of a dick. Watch his stream every now and then and you'll see what I mean.
Isn't that like the point? They're supposed to encourage small groups to go explore the open world and hop on opportunity when they find it, instead of sitting in town/Mor Dohna or having FATE tunnel vision all day.

I think this is more because all the S's are dead and aren't repopping yet, and there are a lot more hunters out there which means less finds by people in your LS. I ran around for hours last night and got maybe 25 seals out of it.
I've managed to find one hunt on my own and there was only one person there when it started, then a whole mess of people showed up.
Then one appeared that was announced and I was there for it. It died within 10 seconds.

I've been saying this ever since CT came out. It seems like Yoshi is so concerned with making sure FCs can't sell Coil runs that he's squandering away a perfect solution to the lockout concerns (and a lot of people consider them a concern, for several reasons).
Full lockouts in this era of MMOs trying to get people into endgame stuff has always been a dumb idea. :\
I'd rather see people selling runs than being locked out from helping friends, myself.

Yes and no. I saw some discussion about using it on BG and you can only scan what is in viewing range. Still an advantage but can't see across the zone or anything.

If you aren't asking to be put in a hunting party or asking to be put in a linkshell, you should be.
Know better for next time, don't become a selfish hateful player.
I'm farming out an ilvl100 CT piece this week already, and I already have High Allagan DRG legs, and most the accessories worth having. So if I get the CT2 chest this week, CT2 pants next week, and the Soldiery Spear, I'll be fairly well off all things considered.
Additionally we're going to try to farm up some Ramuh rings as well, the DPS ring is pretty good.

I'm shocked.
I'm just playing the game! Nothing hateful about it.
How do you beef up something that has 50+ people on it damn near all the time?

Right now the system is fucked up by the HP Pools not scaling, but the hunts work much better if you coordinate with each other.
I just don't want the server to foster a "I got mines" attitude.
Too late.
Frankly it's cheating and should probably be reported if someone sees it being freely talked about.
More people need to use the non-cheating ways of Natasha Stalkhawk where you find other hunting party leaders and check which zones they're at.
No changes.

Not when you've done it 300 times. I greatly prefer Hunts to a lifetime of Bray SRs.
Good thing we have three new dungeons to go through now.
I tested the market board myself yesterday, needed a Clear Glass Lens, looked it up online, then went to the Goldsmith Guild and bought 1 from the vendor for like 5 gil. I bought a few extra and listed each one for 500 and they sold. I guess it would cover Teleportation costs.
I am now just 1x Fieldcraft Demimateria III away from y first new Tool
As a bonus, all three are great. It's a shame so many are ignoring them in-favor of hunts. :/
As much as I would like more Sands of Time [to further upgrade my gear], I really don't feel like jumping into the toxic pool known as Elite Hunts. Perhaps if Square-Enix fixes it, where it more positively welcomes larger groups. Until then, I will avoid it.
