S Rank Successful Spawn Confirmation

[Luin]

I don't think it would be unreasonable to have some kind of vague zone-wide announcement when a S rank spawns, like "You sense a dreadful presence.".

They also ought to make the hunter-scholar in each zone mention whether a hunt is still on respawn or if its spawn window is open when you ask them about the hunt in question

Maybe they could use the Tension weather, or something similar, for this.

I do like the hunt spawn possibility being available from the hunt scholar. Too often someone forgets to mark the ToD, and that can lead to a lot of wasted work with S Ranks, especially for ARR/HW hunts.

Tension weather

Inb4 server limitations. But ngl, a part of me doesn't want it too available. Enough people complain about not making it to Nunyunuwi 10 minutes after it was relayed when it takes an hour to spawn it. Now people'll insta-pull because they're not hunters and abide by no sense of etiquette. Leaving it with the hunt scholar on would require just enough effort to make most people not bother if they even know they need to do that, but still available should they decide to partake.
Another plus for this, it would further encourage people to not use third party utilities since that functionality (or the important parts of it, namely that the hunt spawned) would be available in-game.

Too often someone forgets to mark the ToD in Ariyala, and that can lead to a lot of wasted work with S Ranks, especially for ARR/HW hunts.

And that's in the case of innocent negligence. Just the other week we had several S ranks marked wrongly on the Balmung tracker intentionally, and we all know the stories about that fc who lies on Ariyala and keeps their own tracker or what not. Putting it in the game would even out the playing field.
