I believe we have fixes for both of these coming Monday, if not it'll be the week after. :)

Nothing to fix, that's called rng
If he is hitting all the obstacles then there's little chance he's missing out. He may be getting lap bonuses somewhere on the course that isn't base camp, which is fine :)
Arent buyables skills not balanced around the gp/xp cost?
The more expensive something is the faster the xp/hr is
There's no way we can accurately gauge the price of an item during development, though we can make an estimate on where it may end up when considering other similar existing items, we don't balance around that. Buyables are often balanced by the level required
What gp/hr are we supposed to get? Have you balanced it around the fact you have to hunt the crap ones with no drops/poor xp before you can hunt the best ones, or pay extortionate prices that net a loss because there's no use for the t3 meat?
I've hunted the best ones, at about 250 kc and have only lost money on these. How rare are these drops? I'm now forced to continue for God knows how long, and as the pieces crash even more, I'm coming closer and closer to not making a profit even if I get a drop...
The xp isn't good enough for how intense and expensive these are, and the drop rate is too rare to continue risking money when all other hunter is free/profit. I enjoy killing the dinos, but am not going to do it if it's not worth doing.
We dont balance around the time required to obtain resources if they're tradeable, for the same reasons we wouldn't balance herblore against the time taken to grow the herbs.
I don't have any numbers to hand on XP specifically, but we've been watching it closely and will continue to do so, same with the drops. I hope you'll forgive me that i'm not going into more details on what we may or may not plan on doing.
I mean, if you're playing strategically (doing the first round with 2 spears of one colour and 1 spear of a different colour), then you can deduce which colour is the 30k hit without needing to watch the cutscene, just by remembering what colours you used and then comparing that with the amount of leftover HP on the dino.
i.e. I use 2 red and 1 blue in my first round. Dino goes from 90k to 45k. Only possible combination that works is "blue = 30k, red = 7.5k", hence I know to use blue for the remaining attempts at dino. I can safely skip the cutscene, hence displaying the message in the chat box would not actually save any (meaningful amount of) time.
We understand the meta, having it in writing helps put it in perspective though, so thank you :) I'm sure we'll give updates on this as decisions are made
There are a few hurdles we must first overcome before we properly consider this. We would really like to do it, as we understand how useful it would be, but it does mess with balancing. The time between when you have hunted and when you can hunt again is all considered in the XP and GP/hr.
Hope that answers questions for the time being. :)
I love this thank you
Probably an oversight
raises hand it was an oversight
Laceration Boots
Will this be one mh wep, 1 oh wep or could it even be a 2h wep?
Main hand must have a weapon. Can be duel wield with a shield or just a 2h
Can you slay Kril or Twin Furies for Demon tasks?
Not currently, we spoke about it recently though, maybe in future :)
What are deamonheim creatures?
Daemonheim specific creatures (As listed below) or any killable npc inside dungeoneering
But also.. You can get 3 spawns :)
It's a buff to Runecrafting via tha Abyss. Rather than banking surging and running to the mage to tele you in you can do it yourself.
Not exactly no. It acts as a teleport beacon on the island when placed in one of three spots
Does the GWD1 totem include Nex?
No, just the 4 originals
Does it still have to be melee?
Sorry for the dumb question
Yes :)
No worries, I could have been more specific
Didn't see you replied bruh, my bad.
You were more exciting it's cool bruh
It's a consumable, that you can buy for hunter points, that you get for successfully killing the dinos. It might help for more advanced players to farm more high level dinosaurs, but it's completely unusable for anyone trying to get into it.
You can get Hunter marks from general Hunter on the island, as well as BGH. Regardless, we may consider changes to how the lockout works.
Yeah. Did one lap of the Agility Course, starting from the guard who tracks time, and it apparently only took 0 seconds. Upon doing a second one, this impossible record was lost and replaced with approximately 17 minutes, which seems like the time for both laps combined.
Completing the agility course gives around 22k Agility EXP and a minimum of 10 Codex pages. With this time, and the default 5m Codex price, I estimate at least ∞ XP/hr, and ∞ GP/hr. Seems a bit slow to me.
No, you likely logged out on the first lap, which removed your time from being tracked :)
if you relog half way through a lap you wont be able to set a lap time.
Not sure what's happened with your final lap experience. If you have completed 1 lap (according to the dude guy) you should have at least had one working lap.
Is there a chance you may have missed an obstacle on the way around? or back-tracked on yourself tomuch and reset your direction? (if you travel 2 obstacles in the opposite direction to the way you were travelling, the system will assume you've turned around and reset you.)
