Thoughts On Hunted Mode.

This is another kind of discussion thread.
From what I've seen, no one really uses Hunted mode, and when they do, they usually wear untradeable stuff.
So, tell me how you guys feel about it? Love it? Hate it? Mixed bag?

 

It should have a penalty for dying, but not something that can be prevented by wearing untradable items, and the same goes for rewards. Maybe a % of xp for the victor would work, though I dunno for the loser.

 

To quote what I said on YY's profile yesterday,
"In all seriousness, I don't get why people get so mad over getting killed in Hunted. You chose to take the risk of someone attacking you in return for the extra xp bonus. Of course there's going to be people who actively try and attack players. That's just how PvP works. It looks almost as if people think they are entitled to a free xp boost.

Wrong. I literally got ambushed yesterday, along with a few others, at the 16 node eel spot. I got oneshot after my agility finally didn't proc and just moved to another eel spot to avoid being killed again and so I could keep leveling. It was really just a minor inconvenience, and I really don't mind them at all.
I did get ambushed while fishing bass to, but that was more just messing around with friends.".

So, I think hunted mode is fine. The only real problem with it is Wynn's combat system has never been balanced around PvP, so Archers, and to an extent Assassins and Mages, are still ridiculously broken in it. You can't really change that without balancing Wynn's combat system around PvP, something I highly doubt they will, and believe they shouldn't, do.

 

I believe hunted mode is a step in the right direction for pvp in wynncraft, but there needs to be a more accessible form of pvp still

 

I would definitely use hunted mode if I did not fear losing my items to random enemies, but there's also the problem that finding someone else who also is using it is very uncommon

 

Do you use an untradeable set?

 

I ...

No ... I will not say anything.

 

you cut off the losing my items part 3 words early

 

I joined the update a bit late with hunted and theres like no hunted dudes.

Plus would be nice if there was hunted but no item penalty or xp buff just pvp imo.

 

Well that's the point, you don't choose your enemy, otherwise just do a duel against your friend and the guy who lose trade his stuff to the other ...

 

The mode itself is cool in concept but in my opinion has a few issues

1: Hunted players need to have the option to be in their own servers as given its already only 50 people max per world.

2: Pvp isn't balanced as archer will beat any class except maybe mage.

3: Stacking morph set with town merchant items and then using normal tier items is the easiest way to play without risk and while yes you should have a loss when you die balancing it is very difficult due to pvp imbalance

4: Server lag in itself isn't instantly fixable but lag or bad internet could easily lead you to getting yourself killed by another player

5: Why cant we also get a new nether :(

6: The xp buff kinda doesn't make sense? like why not instead have players drop xp when killed? wouldn't that make more sense to fit with the theme of the mode?

7: In my personal opinion pvp without all the spells is just boring not that this is a problem for the mode itself I just personally find it boring.

tldr. probably not gonna play it and bring back a revamped nether.

 

im talking about actual enemies, not players, hunted mode increases your drop rate and as a shaman enemies slice through me like butter quite often

 

Why not just duel then? You wouldn’t want someone stalking you and trying to kill you all the time. Especially if you get screwed over by the outdated spawn system and go halfway across the map.

 

Oh mb, then it has nothing to do with Hunted Mode, it's just PVE (Still a bit harder since more loss, but eh) XD

 

Yes and no. Typically, I will wear an untradeable set when I am gathering, because I don't really need anything for gathering aside from walk speed and and mr, which untradeables can easily provide. If I have it enabled for the purposes of combat xp, then I wear morph, because morph is actually really good for grinding now since it's most recent buff. Sometimes I just have it enabled because I don't care, and, as such, will not wear my untradeable set and wear my actual build(s). I have yet to be ambushed while in hunted aside from the two situations above.

 

I do duel but asking everyone “wanna fight?” is annoying for both parties, plus hunted is different than dueling. Thing is, I wouldn’t mind being ambushed, as its a different experience I want to experience and try to work around. I do want the fighting around, but I find the increased item loss annoying imo. For the spawn system, yeah it sucks but I can work around it.

 

I mean they need to have some sort of penalty though. Either way, pvp is inherently unbalanced so idk if it’ll be ever worth it even without a penalty for dying.

 

Do they need to have a penalty though? Plus, I like the idea of pvp so yeah, even if unbalanced. Entitled to my opinion and what not.

 

expecting a full re-enaction of jotaro vs dio in detlas streets in hunted mode soon

 

Would take part, we should make an event of this
