Make Horntail 1 Run per Day

Hi!

If you know a lot of people who share the same sentiment of staying in cave too long couldn't you just limit it to 1 run only for yourself and your friends? What's the use of doing so for the whole server?
Maybe run with bigger/higher leveled squads(or both!) if you wanted a faster clear time.
I've seen a good number horntail runs that are 10-12 mans that end on 1 hour timers and believe you could probably find one if you tried.

I feel like the general population actually enjoys horntail and that's why it's so congested on a daily basis.

 

1 hour ht timer will solve all your problems at once also makes the runners try to be more efficient on ht as the runs will be more challenging. also you will only run 2 hours a day. what else you want? 1 hour ht timer for the win.

 

But what about 1h timer and remove preheads

 

How will people be able to simultaneously eat dinner AND HT?

 

I guess I can see intention behind 1h timer.

Of course 1h timer of HT solves matter which OP brought up, but also makes another matters which I really dislike.
Personally, I really don't want to see 5yrs+ old server blocks HT from public, for sweaty players greed.

If HT timer becomes 1hr, pretty sure we'll start to ask 'what's ur range? can apple whole time? watk of your gears? lvl 180+? done with washing?' to every players who are entering HT, which can raise hurdle, and I really don't want to be cruel like that, for HT. for PB, it's understable. but hurdling HT in 5yrs+ server seems ridiculous for me.

It's been already reduced to 1/6 from original, and it's half of zakum. Hope you don't forget this.

Stop kicking ladders down.

 

I don't even know whether those people asking for 1h timer for HT are being serious or not.
But just in case they are, I wanna point out how absolutely ridiculous it is (if you're offended, then yes its about you).

If you're asking for a 1h timer on HT you're either at end-game level/heavily geared. And what you're trying to do is actually stop those who are lower level(15x-16x)/less-geared players from enjoying the same content that you were able to enjoy at those levels, and maintain your control over the HT drops market. Why in the world would a host take in 15x players when the timer is only 1h? Are they supposed to stick to zak for exp from 135 till 17x?

So no, 1h timer does not solve any problem, it only solves your problem of decreasing HT splits, but creates alot more barriers of entry for lower leveled players looking to boss more.

 

What about newish 155-175 groups who stand no chance of clearing in 1 hour? Jw for a friend..

 

Add more people

 

Or use more attack pots. If HT is considered one of the endgame bosses it should require more than the bare minimum to clear.

More on topic I think the better solution is to remove/make the prequest significantly easier. This allows people to join only 1 run without being a huge hindrance on the host.

 

Do three party runs instead of two

In more seriousness, I actually quite like the 1 run per day idea. EXP doesn't even need to be changed because you're still getting the same EPH, and by reducing supply of HT drops it makes each run more profitable per unit time as well. The only problem is that it makes prequest twice as annoying, but if Moira can give out two elixirs instead of one upon completion then I think this can actually be pretty good.

 

apes together strong

R>another 30man Spirit HT run

 

IIRC, you went to iron your shirt in the middle of HT.

 

I can't see why people so selfish about it.
You want 1 run a day? Just do 1 run.
You want 1 hour timer ? Take the 185+people for it.
it looks like 1h timer suggesters and 1 run a day just want to force people play their play style.
I seriously don't wanna search for squad and then do 1 run with them or either way apple all the way in the run to be able to make it.
You guys think it's fun but I bet after 5 unlucky runs where you have to apple all through it and get nothing back, it won't be "fun" anymore.
Also please stop try block people from game content, the vibes here so toxic about people whos not your squad :/

 

Have you tried this thing called Pink Bean yet?

 

People do HT for exp as for drops, yet I didn't see anyone do PB for exp

 

so HT should be of the same difficulty as Pink bean?

 

Make Pink Bean 1 Hour timer, then we can talk about making HT 1 hour timer.

basically these.

 

I like the idea of 1 HT run per day. But in exchange drops should be slightly increased. Instead of spending 3-4 hours, you only spend 1-2 hours which those 2 hours can be done for something else.

 

If your goal is to increase the average profit of a HT run, increasing the supply of drops (mw20 & gene30) will only lead to further declines in book prices. Seems like it's more of a demand sided issue rather than a supply sided one.

Why would old players go out of their way to petition for 1 hour PB run, if it doesn't benefit them? The 1 hour HT timer is just noise to distract us from the old 12 hour HT timer.

BRING BACK 12 HOUR HT TIMER!
