catching butterflies is more rewarding than this bgh garbage.

Here's a suggestion: Let us pick a normal or hard mode rather than having random dino's spawn in groups of 2-3. 1 dino is enough of a chore, but two and three is just dumb. Plus besides the 'difficulty' there's zero reward for hunting larger groups.

A choice wouldn't be a bad idea. However, just so people understand, even when they spawn in a group of 3 or 2 and you only kill one, if you're able to finish them all off, killing 3 dinosaurs is the equivalent of killing 6 (xp and loot wise) and your chances of receiving a rare is increased. I've managed a couple of two dino encounters, I have yet to succeed with three, though last time I did get all traps built and armed.

The jadinkos have messed me up as well, I'm sure with more encounters I'll get used to it though. Just going from 17 straight successful encounters pre-patch to maybe one or two before getting busted at three dinos this morning was a bummer, thanks to the jadinkos for dino dining that made them abrubtly change course with no consistent pattern.

Jadink* mechanic has made BGH much much harder.

Had finally mastered it to succeed 9/10 times (except Arcane Apoterrosaur - seriously the lowest level one is hard!). Now it is just so unpredictable. Failed malletops 5 times in a row as so unpredictable. Not really sure why this was added. Deeply frustrating when you have to rebuild from scratch and it takes 45 mins to get a kill.

Also - the "Never again" option for warning about bait could be better. Why not have a right-click "Fast-bait" option? That way when on first round and only needing 1-2 spears to finish off dino it can be done without warning and then when you make a mistake and forget to arm one catapault (as I have done once or twice) you still get helpful warning.

Land out of Time is great. Those changes on this patch really helped but still not as good as it used to be.

Nerfing hunter main training methods was a terrible idea. I understand you guys wanted to cap the xp rates, but reducing them was not the way to do it. They should be capped as they were. If you guys wanted new updates and training methods to be relevant then make it rewardable in other ways such as afkable, better items, more enjoyable to play, as fast as others and such. Hunter had high xp rates because it was so click intensive and attention demanding as it should be. When hunter modernization was announced it led to a "race" on hunter training as high as possible because people knew they would be harmful when the update was released.

If you want new methods to be relevant, give players to opportunity to choose what they want, High xp rates and really click intensive or lower ones with some more chill methods, or better rewarding items.

Player effort should always be rewarded and nerfing the xp rates goes straight in the opposite direction.
