Short Hunts?

Short Hunts?(updateFound Solution I Think)

Ok i’m trying to be positive and not whining here so keep that in mind.
I just have a simple kind of problem and possible solution with the loot system. And mabey there is not even a problem and it’s just me.

My problem is it seems if i want to have a descent hunt(meaning better then 40% back) i need to hunt for like an hour or so at a consistant rate. If I say hunt for 10 min, go make my kid a sandwitch, hunt for 15 min, go help my wife take laundry upstairs, hunt for 15,goto the bathroom, hunt 20 min. I only get about 40% back. But if i hunt for an hour strait no interuptions i get about 80%+ back(which i’d be happy with most of the time).

I’m a busy person i have a 3 year old and a wife and only get spare time in between things. I wish that not so much the loot system be changed but there mabey be like a certain mob that suits my hunting 10-20 min at a time a bit better.

I dont know any idea’s is it just me this happens to?

Well I know what u mean I don’t have any kids but when it comes to my wife well pretty much the same as u that is the reason I mostly skill hunt or mine during the week days and then work out a deal with my wife for Friday nights when she lets me be for the whole night and I get to sit down and consume as many beer a possible and hunt till my trigger finger gets sore :laugh:
Come to think of it though that creates to many breaks as well :wise: "You don’t buy beer you only rent it "

For everyone its better that way…for me, i lose either way… i usually hunt on 15 hpour shifts straight with no global/hofs, and loses exceeding 1k but w/e :rolleyes: …but ya,usually for most ppl consecutive hunting is better than a couple min at a time

when you take those breaks, do you change mob after?

Yes i have the same question as Skam. I do the same thing for the most part Rex, always doing things here and there and rarely have enough time to sit in front of the pc for 3 hours for a hunt :wink:
I find, however, that I do ok with small breaks here and there as long as I stay in the same area and with the same mob

No i’ll stay in the same place same mob for days.

What’s a break, though? What about returning to town to repair damaged weapons, or restock ammo?

break is anywhere between 15min to 35 min.

put it this way in a 2hr span mabey 35% of that is actual hunting.

I only earn good when I spend 2-3hours on drones. 700+ peds up on last 2hunts that lasted for 5-6hours in total time together

I think that works on all mobs,loots for me tend to be crap in the beginning and turning good at the end

15 hours straight shift of hunting?? sounds pretty intense to me..

Im sorry to say.. but thats to bad for you.. because the only way to hunt and get a good % back (if your not uber lucky) is to hunt for many hours.. I usually hunt for 10+ hours.. and then im breaking eaven allmost all the time :slight_smile:
Pauses sucks because everytime I take a short break some noob comes and steals my uber hof :mad:

actually, its too bad for you. if you have to hunt for over 10 hours just to break even…well, just too bad.

i often break even or get close, within 20%, of doing so in hunts that last a little over 2 hours. and, i take a break in between to repair.

that sux i only have time to hunt for about 2 maybe 3 hours (longer at the weekends) and i can break even about 70% of the time. :girl:
maybe your hunting the wrong sort of mobs

little note about my last post.. its bigger mobs not small mobs (I can profit on most smaller mobs in 1 hour)

and its w/o hofs only a few globals. the hofs comes from time to time and then its profit :slight_smile:

breaking eaven without the hofs is a great thing to do.

I did 17 peds profit yesterday with two about 30 min hunts.

In short hunt you just need to hunt at right time. :cool:

But basically hunting system is such that you cant just break even by hunting 15 min at random time…

Hmm. Hunted for about 90 minutes last night, with only about 3-4 one-minute breaks. After repair, it looks like I came out a little shy of break-even (about 5 PED), hunting Corns around Argus.

Do you think that if I had hunted another hour, I would have done better?

Argus has been good to me too :silly2:

Ya, I’d love to be able to hunt 10 hours and break even.. I don’t see how that’s a problem at all. O_O

I just think its sad that some people hunt 10hours to break even since I profit under 3hours without globals and then skill for 1-2hours with the profit and get more skills than those who hunts 10hours :laugh:
