count hunts when they're sent out rather than when they're finished

i imagine this is not a problem for the majority of players, but something about this game that has been making me want to pull all of my hair out for a really long time now is this:

hunters get to go on ten hunts a day. but that number is counted at the END of each hunt, rather than the beginning. so, if a wolf has 10 hunts left and you send them out on one, that number stays at 10 until the hunt returns and is claimed by the player.

what this MEANS is that if a hunt is sent out before rollover and ends after rollover, that hunt counts against the second day's hunts, even though it was sent out on the first.

this makes it much harder than it needs to be (and it's hard as it is!) to get two hunting parties their full ten hunts per day and causes really frustrating losses in exp for people (like myself) who really care about that kind of thing.

so: just count the hunts when they're sent out. easy. i really don't see what the reasoning was to do it otherwise. 		rattlesnakeacrobat

The thing is, hunts can be cancelled. So if a hunt is counted when sent out, then recalled for whatever reason, that would take up a daily hunt. Recording it when the hunt is claimed prevents this, and guarantees you get hunting results in exchange for that daily hunt slot.
 Nevermind, I was thinking about herbalists and scouts. So now I'm actually in agreement with this suggestion, since it can't be cancelled anyway. Pup training is counted when it begins(can be finished from the previous day and done again that day), hunting shouldn't be very difficult to implement.

If I particularly care about sending out all my hunts in a day, I set an alarm so I know when it's done. If I miss it, then that's my bad. I know when I should be sending them out to fit them all in a day.

even if hunts COULD be cancelled once they're sent out, it wouldn't be that complicated to just refund the cancelled hunt. there really isn't any good reason to count them the way that they do. 		rattlesnakeacrobat

I support. It's especially confusing when things like pup training are already counted the way that OP suggests- they count for the day on which they are begun, not the day they're finished. Having multiple ways of counting these kinds of things is just confusing

I sent a hunting party before bed/rollover, and when I finished it in the morning it counted as a hunt for the new day. I was so disappointed because there were one of my previous hunting chances.

Support!

I've always rolled my eyes about this, glad I'm not the only one. And like has been mentioned, pup training already does that. With that, you can do the training and go to bed knowing it will count before RO than after, so you don't have to worry about staying up. Much less frustrating that way, so I don't get why hunting isn't the same way.
