Wild Hunt Timing

[Thomas]

A few timing-related questions:

1. How long (generally) does a T2 character have until the Wild Hunt takes them? I know there were reports of T2s created 3-4 months ago being taken in the December hunt.

2. Does it matter if you are a genuine T2 archetype, a T1+1, or a T3-1 archetype in terms of the length of time before the Wild Hunt takes you?

3. If you raise a tier in play (adding or removing a modifier) does it recalculate your wild hunt time?

4. If you lower a tier in play, does it recalculate your wild hunt time?

5. After you have been captured once, how long until you are captured again?

6. Can you avoid the Wild Hunt by not logging in, like you could with Doom?

Thanks!

For 6. It grabbed inactive characters and characters that were put into stasis. The number taken is actually higher than was visible as none of them logged around those days.

Would also really love clarification on OP’s questions, as well as:

-What’s the expected timer for all tiers?

-Will this always target your main/ first character, or will it randomly pick from your alts too? Can more than one of your characters be taken at the same time?

-If unspent pkarma is deducted by the Hunt , can it be re-accumulated again on that character once you escape?

It seems like there’s still a lot of question marks over the Hunt and how it’ll continue to affect us moving forward, so while I’m glad our spent pkarma was wiped and I can accumulate enough to tier back up, the worry now is that I’ll do so in a month just to get nabbed again in March. Or I hoard it to use after the next Hunt only for it to be taken away without being able to get it back again or something.

Probably 4.5-5.5 months, but then it’s the wild hunt after that. So you could have a three month timer but just miss the spring grab and then because there’s no summer grab run for like 9 months or so.
Yes, t3-1 has shorter times than t2 + 0
If you raise a tier it will look at if the new time from now is shorter then the remaining time and update it if so.
Lowering a tier won’t matter.
Being captured resets the timer to just like you just created.
No, avoiding logging in won’t work. If you haven’t logged in for I think 3 months it will skip you though.

I’m assuming the 4.5 to 5.5 months is in reference to the T2 timer. What’s the expected timer for other tiers? I feel like when making a character, specially a high tier one with high investment, it would be nice to have an idea of for how long they will be played or how much time on average they will have to develop some sort of story. So, on average, how much time should each tier before the Wild Hunt comes to get them?
