I found Dash's Hunt pretty much like Dragon's Hunt, except for the blasts every time someone won.  So, you just keep hunting as he immediately picks another room.  I didn't mind not seeing the blasts every time someone won. I didn't miss having to click them to make them go away.  It was a fair hunt and personally I did not get bored.  It was a bit longer than scheduled making up for the time lost so that ppl had more time to keep hunting.  I do prefer this hunt way better than guessing colors, animals or ages or "Host Says" !!

Yes, there were some issues with power outages or something, but we were informed. I have no idea where Host Dash is working from, but considering the weather, I think they did their best in making the scheduled hunt possible.

...and yay I like this pin better than football signs!  :thumb:

OMG yes.  I really didn't like the signs.  LOL.  The pins were a nice (and overdue) surprise.

The problem tonight that I had was it was a traditional hunt...but without the blast every winner like Dragon does.  While that's nice not to have that annoyance...it's also maddening in that at least the blasts let us know that something is HAPPENING!  LOL.  If Dash was doing the blasts, we would have been able to see a pause if he was experiencing problems...and relax a bit.  I think there were problems for a significant amount of time before the announcement.  Sigh.  Ah well, hopefully more chances to get this pin in the future ;)

I understand what you are saying about the blasts.  They do let us know everything is up and running smoothly, so I am going to agree with you in that it is better to have them regularly.  Plus, I forgot there is the option to not get the blasts anyway if someone doesn't like them.  So, yes, blasts with every win do give us assurance that the hunt is working properly.   :bighug:

I forgot to also add that people were winning multiple times (on their clones, obviously) because Dask was going to several rooms up to THREE times.  In the meantime the rest of us are sleeping for two hours with no visits from the host.  That....is uncool.  I have no problem with the host 'mixing it up' and being 'unpredictable'.  It SHOULD be like that.  But to visit the SAME rooms like THREE times?  Uh uh.  No like  :uhuh2:

Jade did the SAME EXACT thing on the 1/17 Hunt.  I know, because I missed her all 3 times flying through the SAME ROOM.  I don't think it's fair that the Hosts visit the same room multiple times, and other rooms don't get hit once.  Not cool.

That's why I like Dragon, if I have to do a Host Hunt ~ She visits everywhere!   :)

I mush admit that I hardly ever do Host Hunts and I never did Dash's Hunt, but from the sound of things I think I like Dragon's Hunt better too.  I need to refresh ALOT so I usually like getting the pop-ups where she gives hints because then I know I can pop out for a refresh and be back to keep trying.  Also, like Astro said, she goes everywhere and I have even heard she goes to some places twice as well, but at least I have a shot with this old, slow computer of mine.

Also I absolutely hate the one where they come in and say a word and then you have to say the word too, but with my slow computer I could be first, but it registers mine last with all the lag and freezing up.  I would get rid of all the stupid Host Hunts if I could and just have the other Host events like ride a thons and teleporter games, but such is life.

Don't get me wrong, I'd rather not do host hunts either... but as far as I knew Dragon does tend to go everywhere.  Where it seems these other Hosts... go to a room multiple times, and don't even visit some rooms.  I don't like that.
