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

Didn't know Balmung had Soul Jah too lol.

There are multiple incarnations, but they shall not be named!

More HP to S Ranks would be really nice! The newer S Ranks actually have mechanics you can experience for a round or two lol, the old ones die in under a second!

[Mikhaill]

My only other suggestion would be to make all S Ranks have a super high HP pool. Then even if a quick/instant pull is happening, folks can still make it and get some credit.

I'm not tryna be mean or rude, but I said this for years...
It's called a hunt. Not a social gathering party where your entire FC, Server, Mom, Mailman and the dog needs to hurry up and get there.
We can sit there for hours, the mob be like 12 hours long like in FFXI and someones still gonna miss it.
It was bad when it first started because people would harass each other so badly, that they would need
to move servers from the harassment. What I find unfair is people server hopping now. It's bad enough you're waiting for
people within you server for x amount of time, now it's the entire center.

Fair enough. My main concern is just putting a little buffer window to interfere with those who like to pull the moment something materializes to farm negative attention and to give a chance, however small, to folks to get to these things.

I guess I fall into a category that likes to treat these things as a social gathering/event and want everyone, or as many people as possible, to participate.

-sigh-
No

[KageTokage]

I kind of wish they'd buff the HP on the ARR S ranks.

It's becoming rather common for random people to just pick them off now they can be solo'd so quickly.

[Skivvy]

It's nonsense to say that Hunts aren't intended to be shared when they've freshly added a "kill 1000 ShB S ranks" achievement with a mount attached. Achievements like this are only realistically possible by sharing hunts, linkshells and third party sites. They know this. It's a part of the game now.

Sharing hunts is fine, and a good majority of people do so. But it's also your responsibility to be there quick enough for it, or even be the one actively hunting/spawning. If you're not and you miss out, that's not the group's fault.

If they were wanting to make it clear that hunts should be shared, they would have worked the achievement as "kill 1000 ShB S ranks with a group of <whatever number> or more".

Meh, the hunting community in this game is one of the most civil and patient I ever seen.

I came from a game where people would use every tool they had, putting the border between griefing and competitive behaviour through the trial of fire, pushing it further and further every time to be the one group that will get the reward.

And here, people are waiting, shouting in several area that the special fate/S rank/A rank is up. Group each other to be sure everybody get a reward, resing people that aren't even in their group, people have created tools for people to track them, LS to help every interested player to get aboard a hunting party & even hunting discord to enhance further the communication possibility around hunting.

You already have all the tool you need to hunt efficiently when you feel like it. Sure its not perfect but it work pretty well without the devs having to implement limitation after limitation.

[Gwenorai]

I've seen it get a little aggressive on Light server, but that's usually due to some fighting in regards to spawning and credit to whom did the spawning. Beyond that the hunting LS I'm in are top-notch and the people are very nice. If there's a hunt up everyone makes their best attempt to call it out for others so they can participate. I really like hunt trains as well to be fair. It's just sad when a rare hunt such as an S rank is early pulled without the spawner being able to participate and get credit for their work.

Honestly, I think that spawning the hunts should count towards the achievement.

[EnigmaticDodo]

Is it too much to suggest that ALL S Ranks be genuine world bosses with a lot of HP, mechanics, and what not? Capable of wiping hundreds of people at a time? I think that'd be fun.

[TwiibieTwuu]

Could always buff hunts to fit the expansion, or do what fates do and have a level sync. Though I would miss soloing huge monsters as a lala
