Please change Rendering priorities during hunts

[Jojoya]

They already give rendering priority to S ranks so we know it is possible. It would be interesting to hear why SE is not willing to do it with A ranks.

I have a better computer now, so I can usually tag it at least once but this must be a nightmare for ps4 users and those with less powerful computers.

It's not influenced solely by what system you use to play the game. Plenty of PS4 users, even those without SSDs, report no issues during hunts.

The speed of your internet connection also plays a role. I know a few people who haven't changed their system but did upgrade to a higher speed connection in recent months and they've told me it has made a considerable difference in rendering at hunts.

You're going to have problems if you're at 250 kps while others are at 3 mps or better regardless of what system you're using. The game is shooting a lot more data at you when you're in a group of 100 players all in combat that when you're in a 4 man dungeons or standing around in Limsa.

A better system will also help, of course, but getting a better connection might be a simpler solution for some players.

Q: With the World Visit system now in place, it's harder to see a Hunt enemy's actions due to the number of players, so I would like to see adjustments on display priority. Furthermore, the speed in which it gets taken down is much faster now, so it's harder to join in casually. I would like to see something like Hunts which can be only done with players from Home World players to be considered.

A: I think changing it to be Home World-only isn’t the way to go about it. Although there may be a lot of players right now since the expansion was just released, I think things will gradually calm down, so please think of it as a special period for now. Adjusting the display priority would cause a lot of strain, so it would impossible to adjust it for A rank hunts.

But again, why is it a strain for A ranks when it is not a strain for S ranks?

You are correct Jo, I ask myself that question also. On A trains, I have to often switch to heals and spam an invisible boss to get credit, hoping that the tank(s) get enough agro to make it a full one. S ranks, I never have an issue. Also, I have Spectrum's highest internet speed and my connection is always excellent. Due to SE's unwillingness to accomodate A ranks with decent rendering, I would like to see the "get a hit, get full credit" like S ranks have.
