Hunter's Call Missions?

  • Been helping a friend level this faction up for awhile and I have to ask. Why doesn't the Hunter's Call have any type of actual hunting missions? You'd think it be right up their alley to actually go out and hunt something other then random fish and scared pigs.

    Doesn't seem too crazy to have some mission like "Oh hey, these Merchant ships are being attacked by a Megalodon out here by the Devil's Roar. Could you go hunt it down for us?". Following a trail of carnage and clues until you find the monster lurking around the area. Maybe throw out some kind of bait? Something?

    So instead of hunting for random fish/gems/animals you want a voyage which instructs you to hunt for specific fish/gems/animals?

  • @greengrimz As long as its something worth hunting. A guaranteed Megaladon/Kraken Spawn. Maybe some new type of monster that can be found on islands? Who knows.

    Mate, anything you decide is worth, is worth it. Hell, there's people who just dump their ships and continue their sessions riding only a rowboat.

    If leveling Hunter's Call is your gig, just create your own adventure. You really don't need somebody to hold you by the hand. You're a pirate. You're free. You can do whatever you want.

  • @thejoegrizzly some time this year we had such voyages for fishing, special event something...got them from Larinna afaik...was pretty senseless, a map with a circled area next to an island and it said " fish 3 ...fish there"
    Was more like a tutorial for noobs, who don't know how to get a certain fish
    Not a fan of voyages for HC

    A guaranteed meg spawn? Oh...I see already the cheesing to get a shrouded ghost spawned...like buy such a voyage, cancel it and so on...
    PLEASE, leave the HC be!

  • The only thing Hunters Call could stand to use would be: higher value associated to Meg and Kraken Meats to encourage more hunting of these critters, and they could possibly benefit from having an Emissary setup for them so that players can get bonuses to their cash in and Rep gains with the Faction (and to placate the HC Main crowd a bit) - the gains could be focused are catching Fish, cooking Meats, and killing the Meg and Kraken specifically for this.

    Outside of that, not having Voyages and having something of a side activity as their focus is kind of the HC thing as a Faction and what sets them apart from the rest of them in Adventure. I think this is a perfectly fine niche for them to fill in the game.

    I'm against an emissary setup for HC, this would be based too much on luck, meg/kraken spawn for example...or fishing and killing animals all the time...
    One good thing about HC imo is, that you can do it unseen, without fear that a reaper V is going for you and all that while doing something else...

  • @schwammlgott to each their own, of course. I really have no skin in the game cause I don't actually care about HC at all as a player. I always tell myself I'll hand in some stuff over there, but then I forget cause it just isn't in my interest range. Same thing with Arena, played 3 rounds to try it when it came out and was done after that. That said, I'm still open to ideas to support the area of the game I don't care about.

    But as I say, to each their own. My point was more that an Emissary setup could be applied to the Faction, not that it would be of interest to folks. The bigger one was making Meg and Kraken Meat both sell for more than they do now (Kraken being the most valuable being most rare). That might be enough to at least get me personally to remember to stop by sometimes.

  • I'd tell you a fast way to get Hunters Call but I don't want Rare patching it. Becuase god forbid Hunters Call isn't a massive grind....

    Was more like a tutorial for noobs,

    Like... the maiden voyage?

    Festival of Fishing was a great idea, fun, and I wish that the quests that were introduced with it were permanent! It was a wonderful aid for those who were not familiar with how to get which fish where, and offered some structure while getting Hunters Call reputation. Sure, it may not have been everybody's cup of tea, but it was a nice addition for a time.

    I just wish it had stayed and got added on to.

    More quests that could be added to Hunter's call would be good! I like the idea of a quest and/or challenge that could ask sailors to go out and try to catch a particular megladon- or to catch and turn in a certain amount of megalodon meat. There are players who enjoy Hunters Call and it would be nice to see that faction expanded on. (I still vote for being able to buy fishing poles and tackle boxes with worms at seaports).

  • @wyvernkraehe Fun? Seriously? I call an athena voyage more fun than that

  • @schwammlgott Different strokes for different folks.

    FYI: there are people who get ship groups together just to do Hunters Call sailing.

    Agreed. Hunter's are the most neglected faction in the game. Followed by Sea Dog's. But at least Arena can be fun and engaging.

    Yes.

  • If not being able to have a mission from the hunters call to tell use to deliver X amount of certain fish/meat. make a daily event where a certain fish/meat is the "daily hunt" and any of that item you give in is worth more than usual

  • @schwammlgott said in Hunter's Call Missions?:

    One good thing about HC imo is, that you can do it unseen, without fear that a reaper V is going for you

    I mean, you could just not raise the emissary.

    And you liked them? So they were "a lot of fun"?

    That's why what? Why they shouldn't have one? You could apply that logic to every company with an emissary that isn't reapers. Raising an emissary makes you a bigger target, but it's optional.

    Not compareable imo...the other factions you are able to watch the horizon all the time and leave everything behind to sail away
    Fishing, you can just watch about 90 degrees in one way...with good wind another crew is there until it's too late for you
    Then HC "treasure" is all in a barrel/supply crate (I know, gems, but you know what i mean)...how does the game realize the "treasure found" and "treasure brought to ship"...I'm not a programmer, but I guess this wouldn't be a big problem itself...just, it's food, I guess changing it to a treasure with the features we already have, like who is the "owner" or if it's stolen, this would cause massive problems, or why else can't we sell fish to the reapers?

    Anyway, imo HC and fishing is just in the game, because people cried for it, like they did for a PvP mode...and you know what happened to arena...

    This is you making a mountain out of an ant hill. People trying to find the Ghost? Fine. Make it 1 in 1000 voyages. There fixed. Or maybe, and follow me here, the Ghost doesnt spawn from these voyages.
