Petion to add a 7min invincibility to S Ranks upon their spawn.

I think it would be more logical to temporarily leave the hunt in an untargetable/uninteractable state akin to how some FATE bosses/enemies will initially show up and do some RP stuff before you're allowed to actually start beating on them.

That or have some kind of placeholder like footprints appear on where the hunt is due to spawn.

See... either make the mobs spawn infinite like the A hunts with only some hours and make easier conditions, or give them an cooldown with like 5 min. You cant no life it and theres just too much you cant control, heck you cant even check IF an S hunt is up at all... if at least that was finally fixed...

(also, lol at the fact that part of that problem only exists bc of certain ILLEGAL apps)

That's Korea-esque style of game design.

And this so much... its ok on crafting if theres "Make 2000 HQ items" but those S hunt ones... its so much out of your control, i doubt wed even see the tiger now without crossworlds and isntances lol

Honestly, 300 should be max, maybe 500... maybe make a new one per expension that needs the new hunts but dont just go and say ok you need 5000 S hunts now by 8.0

Those achievements are SE's way of giving up on the actual hunting part. Otherwise, there would be no reason to have such big requirements. I think they just phone this content in each expansion, because the bots prevent actual hunts from ever occurring. It had become more of a zerg, and not so much in poor stats of the players, but in rather lackluster execution. Many people don't even know the mechanics, and some mechanics are hard to spot with large numbers of players.

Failure to reach an S rank in a timely manner is a personal problem. If people don't like it, they should consider looking at other parts of the game to enjoy. You snooze, you lose. Most of us just want to kill it and move on to the next, as is the way of the hunt.

If the apps didn't exist it wouldn't be such a problem. Spawners should at least not be able to miss their own hunts because a dude with an app tracked it first

Not a hunts person but as someone working on gathering achievements, quite a few times I’ve seen people loading into a map 5 mins before an S rank even spawn. The rank goes down in seconds and poor souls that happen to not be a part of those groups would come in a few mins after the fact shocked that the S rank is already gone. It’s no longer hunts anymore lol and definitely no longer about being there on time.

Most of the old hunt websites are still in operation. If they don't want to use an app, why not use those? They work just as well.

Then they should be tracking timers instead of waiting on callouts from others. Simple as.

That would be more feasible if SS ranks didn't take hours to spawn, world travel becoming omega congested and usually getting pulled the instant that it spawns. Sometimes for SS ranks it's down within a minute. Relays sometimes don't come fast enough. It's v easy to miss because of that

The game just shouldn’t encourage third party apps, websites or anything. It’s just bad design that players have to resort to using that in order to function. The amount of free to play games I’ve played in the past never got this bad with third party tools. Even if players were using them for themselves it never affected other people that didn’t want to since content was designed around a solo perspective first and group second. That way no one had to worry about third party players and could enjoy it the way it was intended. That’s just my opinion on it though.

The 3rd party sites that use said app exists. That said, it still blows my mind when an S/SS rank dies within a minute so when others see that then they get a mentality where you need to zerg any rare spawn that they see as soon as it getting attacked. That allows griefers to pull to their hearts content. In short, just give me my ZNM system Yoshida!
