Don’t feel bad for me, I took the risk and paid for it.
Prowlers are not over my head but are at my limit, Stalkers are and I do avoid those.
Gear I used this hunt. Unl Boar + 5b, CB26 + Beast amp. Faps maxed ur125 + Ek2600 + SK-80 at (17/20).
Skills, BLP sniper Hit lvl 63, Evade +4k, paramedic lvl 36, 169 HP.
This prowlers send me 3x to the revival with critical hits and I’m not a hunter who logs out and runs to mammy, I stand my ground and battle it out.
An old alpha had done this the day before, after I finished it I hit an 400ped hof. Anyway my focus on these hunts isn’t on old Alphas or Prowlers, mostly I hunt providers and up, but I won’t move back for an old alpha or prowler. Mostly at Jurra I hunt guardians, dominants and alphas.
When I'm after old Alphas and prowlers alone, I use martial + 5b, but I do rarely.
Why I didn’t stop after the first disconnect ?
On my return I found all atrox gone so I figured I hit a server reset.
Atrox respawned but this time most where low maturity, that didn’t matter to me as I hunt all atrox, not just the big ones. Then 95ped into the hunt another time this happened again.
At this time I knew my return wasn’t good, but like on many other hunts, this could change at the end of the hunt. So you come to a point where you have to decide to log out and take the losses or go on an try to save the hunt. I chose this time to do the last thing, because I thought there would be no more server or spawn resets. Well they proved me wrong this time.
150ped into the hunt I saw the prowler and decided to take this one on. First hit he gave was an critical hit sending me to the revival. When he was at around 50% HP another critical hit and again I revive. Last critical hit was at the end, just a few HP he had left. So teleported back and took him out before he could reach me again. Ran over to loot him then everything went grey.
I have no idea why my returns where so low, guess bad luck or the system thought I did more than one hunt this time. Maybe that’s why I ended up at Nate Valley every time, but have no clue really.
Since the Port Atlantis change I had more hunts interrupted by disconnections, however those where not the result of an server or spawn reset. Now thinking back maybe I should have stopped the hunt. But at the moment I had no clue it would turn out this bad. Btw 22% return is calculated on all cost of ammo + repairs + weapons decay.
I’m not too worried about these losses, most will come back one day I guess.
Yet the constant interruptions ticked me off.
