S rank enemies need adjusting HP depending of number of people attacking

I am so sick of arriving to a S rank enemy for it to die just before I arrive. Happens frequently with my FC friends as well. I cannot get there any quicker, I move immediately upon receiving the call. Many people are courteous and wait enough time for the vast majority to arrive but there is always that one impatience person who starts the attack and then everyone else joins in because they dont want to miss the kill.

So hence the npcs need to have more hp to allow people to arrive. The HPs needs to adjust based on the number of players present. The enemy should take 5 minutes I think to kill and that will give people enough time to get there. If you are only 1-2-5 people, its 4am, no one else wants to come then it shouldnt take 10 years to kill so hence the sliding HP amount is required.

So, do you expect the Boss to constantly fluctuate it's HP as late players arrive? Most S ranks start with X amount of HP while players trickling in are maybe or maybe not fortunate enough to get through the horribly-implemented congestion stopper known as Instance # 1,2 or 3. How would this work? I'd much rather have elite S ranks have an in game, announced timer built in that might allow more players to attend. The timer could be set or not according to the player.

this works somehow with fates , when there is lot of people , its tougher to complete any fate in zone . so there might be a way . timer would be nice too , or just totally overwork this idea of hunts . i highly praise those who will summon them or who will track A marks and then make a train for this , but this way ... when you will see A mark , shouting for people to join the fight , nobody will , because mostly they will wait for those train or anything .

How dead is the hunt community on Zodiark that only a half dozen players show up for a S rank? That's just plain bizarre. I'm on one of the lowest pop NA worlds but even in the very early morning hours we'll get 60-80 minimum showing up.

People always want to show up for a S rank. It's solid rewards for a couple of minutes of effort. If you have a low turnout, it's because you're not communicating.
