-sigh- Could Hunt Immunity be a thing...?

[Theodric]

People sharing their hunt is an act of generosity. It's not an obligation. They found it. They aren't obligated to wait for everyone and their mother to arrive.

It's a bit more complicated than that, especially in the case of S Rank Hunts. The people killing them, especially in ARR and HW zones, aren't necessarily the ones who spawned it.

I love when threads are killed in the first comment.

I don't hunt a lot, but I can tell you even if they add this there will still be people claiming that early pulls happened. I've been in quite a few hunts where people did in fact wait 5+ minutes and that still happened, and that was even when hunts didn't just die immediately.

I'd just call ARR call outs a lost cause if you aren't in the zone and given we still have multiple instances for SHB try and get as many of those in as you can.

I've just given up on ARR hunt callouts, 9/10 when someone calls out one in a linkshell even if I immediately drop what I"m doing, port to that zone and go straight to the location it's dead when I arrive. Or at best i arrive just in time to see it die.

Yeah, same here. Only really try if its a stormblood or Sh B one

Hunt immunity is not a bad idea. It would be most beneficial to PS4 players and low connection/rural players who simply have longer load times then others.

But they would need to fix the issue of the Hunt becoming invisible first, before they tried to apply it (As more people would now be in the location, thus making it more of an issue.)

If it's ShB hunt monsters then I agree that if you snooze you lose.

But ARR and HW hunts are dead.
You could solo ARR a ranks back in SB and the same is probably true for HW a ranks now too, and if you can't solo ARR s ranks yet then come back a few raid updates later and check again.

They may be free for all, but I'm damn sure they never intended for them to be solo'd.

I just personally wish all S Ranks had current expansion HP. I mean, enough people show up for these things! If not forced invincibility for a tiny bit of time, then that will work as an alternative I could live with lol

Except we're now waiting for the entire datacentre these days, not just the entire server like we used to.

I did a SB S rank the other day, and it was the most fun hunt I've actually done because only like 10-15 of us showed up (early hours), and I could actually see what was going on, unlike the usual laggy zergfests where mechanics and deaths don't matter because you just corpse run till it's dead.

You still aren't entitled to every S rank found. If enough people were present for it to be killed then you were simply too slow to arrive.
