Proposal to Improve the Hunt System / ハントシステムを改善するための提案

[DarkGrunt]

Honestly, spawn immunity will never happen. I think making S ranks a hidden FATE like Ixion/Odin with proper level sync would be a better option. With increasing gear level ARR/HW S ranks melt within 10-15 seconds if that and can be solo'd easy. Having them sync to their respective levels (ARR 50/ HW 60/ SB 70) at least makes hunters needing to be in a full party. This will also give other hunters attempting to spawn other S ranks time to get there to receive credit. It's ridiculous to have 80+ people running around S. Than to spawn Numi so they don't miss credit killing it when a light party can spawn it (work smarter not harder). Another trigger that can be added for S ranks with the start of World Visit is a Wanderer cannot spawn an S rank that hasn't spawn on their own world ( high pop vs low pop.) Wanderers are already restricted in some S rank spawning due to gathering nodes. Don't see why this couldn't be implemented. A ranks can be left as is since their isn't any special trigger that is needed to spawn them other than time. You miss the hunt, just wait a couple of hours for it to respawn.

Yoshida: There might be some chaos in the beginning, but I think players will adjust by making their own rules. Of course, there will be cases when the mobs will be defeated stealthily, but the current closed state of the servers is not good in our opinion. We will keep watch and if the state becomes too severe, we will think of changes. I don't agree with this simply because players can 'make rules' but what good are rules if nothing can be enforced? A server has a handful of people killing ARR S ranks after someone else spawns them 'World mob; I can do this and nothing can be done about it'. Can't tell players to make rules, but not give them any means of enforcing it other than "Scout's Honor".

Just my 2 gil on the subject.

Or just add 5-10 more intances per towns.

#DeleteHunts

I probably need like 20000 seals to get all the things I want out of hunts, and the last time I rode the hunt train I got maybe 200 seals in an hour.

Early pulling isn't the problem, it's a symptom. The problem is that hunts are a monotonous and unrewarding grindfest. If it wasn't such a slog people wouldn't feel like they absolutely have to be there before every pull.

[Deceptus]

Whoever spawned it should be the only person who can initiate attack. They own the mob per se. Would stop people from early pulling when they didn't even help spawn it.

[Alucard135]

If you don't want to miss S ranks, why not help spawn them? If you missed it because you're waiting till others do and notify you, then you only have yourself to blame. Only thing you can do to early pullers is black list them and remove them from hunt link shells.

[KageTokage]

The novelty of cross-world hunting has worn off extremely quickly for me.

Sure, I get more S ranks overall, but I don't think it was worth the hunt communities of each server breaking down into a big, disorganized mess as the relay networks being so huge coupled with the prevalence of people using sniffer programs almost guarantees that you'll have people from other servers pouring in within a minute of anything spawning ,which on several occasions has led to the hunts getting melted before their server was even aware they existed.

I honestly think they should make it so you can only get credit for a given S rank once every 24 hours and that you're simply not able to even interact with a given hunt anymore until the reset.

Another one voicing for a change. Having issues on Crystal with people from other servers coming in and pulling before people could reach the hunt. :/ we had a very patient and organized hunts until now. It's really saddening to see what it turned into.

But why can't they make it? Normally you first let you party know so that they can teleport quicker. If they choose longer route, it is their own fault.

Of course, I do not say it is alright to pull as soon as you arrive. Pulling should be spawners/finders prerogative.

Here is the thing, I had this happen to me four times in a roll since Crystal became a thing. Three of these times I said, ok maybe I took longer route. Every time I teleported as soon as I got the location in my respective linkshells. Some were indeed on a bit of a walk/flight and even then I wasn't even half way through the route before they got killed. Yesterday the hunt was right outside quarrymill, I teleported as soon as the location was given, dead by the time I even stepped on the map and I can assure you I'm not playing on a potato computer. This was my final straw that made me post here. I'm not a hardcore hunter, it's not something that'd make me rage quit or flip tables, but I enjoy them a lot as a content. I'm ok missing on some but I've always appreciated how patient and organized they've been on my server. Until now. Now it's not a content I enjoy anymore.

[Erendis]

The thing with linkshells is you never know when someone will report a hunt that was already pulled. I've seen people do that. Also sometime people just repost hunts too late.

When I want to hunt, I join a hunt train or start my own and search for hunts myself.

[LalaRu]

To put it more simple, I think if the hunt gets a timed "invincibility" buff at spawn, and we can see how much time left, that is sufficient.
