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

[Noitems]

I said this is another group but I feel like Hunts should work similar to Ixion. Where the hunt is invul and an item has to be used to allow the hunt to be attacked and have it be fair.

In the case of spawners why not give the person that spawns it an item that has to be used to break the invul on the hunt? That way they can decide the course of when it should be attacked and give enough time for shoutouts?

It's tough planning backwards for ARR-SB but I could see a system like this working with ShB as World Visit it now a planned feature with it.

Where the hunt is invul and an item has to be used to allow the hunt to be attacked and have it be fair.

When we say "have it be fair", to whom exactly? The people waiting for others to do all the work to spawn S ranks and they just teleport there? Hunts were not designed to be done like that and were not meant to be a fair game in the first place. Have you ever wondered why they don't punish early pullers and say "it's working as intended"? Waiting is just a rule made by the players. So SE won't force that rule on others that don't follow it.

Ixion and other FATE bosses spawn on their own, have a timer to their FATE, requires a lot of players to deal with and also have signs that they appeared when the weather changes. These are clearly signs that these FATEs are made for a big player base in mind.

When you look at hunts, the majority of them requires you to spawn them, they don't have a timer on them so a group of 8 won't worry about a timer running out. And regarding the weather, Yoshi P said this

Q: Please make it so that the weather changes when S mobs pop.

Yoshida: We don’t want to make S mob pop’s more obvious than they currently are. I think it isn’t too suited for the game.

Edit: Here's also what Yoshi P said regarding cross world hunts

Q: In regards to Mob Hunt, with the current system and state and with the introduction of the World Teleportation system… Please make adjustments to the Hunts.

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.
