S-Rank mobs needs a invulnerability buff on S-RANKs

[Zebraoracle]

The hunt needs a full rework. It's a big part of the game for many players with massive discords and communities organizing it and SE just continues to neglect it and ignore that fact. Then when anyone complains, the response is "it's fine, SE didn't intend it to be shared, you're not meant to play it that way".

I'm sorry but "SE intended it to be rubbish, stop trying to make it enjoyable content" is not an excuse. The current form is empty and breeds community animosity, which is something SE used to care about. There's a lot of potential in the Hunt, but it needs attention.

Agreed with this. Fact is, people are not entitled to wait for others to arrive for S ranks, there is absolutely no rule in the game stating such. However, the whole system is just... not great. It feels bad, I don't understand how people find it fun, and I've seen so much drama come from it it's unreal.

Maybe if you channeled all that parse-hole mudslinger energy into coming up with an actual solution, you might find something that works.

Why get personal like that?

What goes around comes around.

The current system isn't great, but I wonder how it might even be improved, definitely not by sounding off on how other people feel one way or another. Just get to the brainstorming already.

The main problem from the OP is that people can't wait. I don't like the idea of the invuln because that just means more people get more time to potentially come over from other DataCenters if they want. Common courtesy is 5 minutes for people to get together.

Square Enix should just put a 10-minute invulnerability buff on all S rank.

Even being from the server is hard to get there much less if you have to server transfer. We have people pulling on purpose as soon as they land.

Having a 5-10 minute invulnerability buff would not hurt anything.

I'm of the opinion that the only amount of time that needs to be waited is the time it takes for the spawner to get to the mob assuming they start looking for it immediately. Anything past that isn't necessary and is just a bonus. Didn't spawn it? No right to complain if you don't make it in time. If you want to guarantee you get the mob, go spawn it yourself. And I say this as someone who has gotten to hunt mobs late plenty of times. You're not entitled to a hunt mob you didn't spawn.

Basically. People need to stop thinking they're entitled to kill every S rank that spawns while they're online. Yes there is a mount achievement tied to hunts. No, the world isn't required to wait on you because you want it. It's basically like going to the store to buy snack buns filled with red bean paste only to see the person ahead of you bought the last one. You go on with your day and come back another day.

Hunt system stinky and it's gonna stay cringe because SE doesn't care how automated and brainless it's become with third party tools. You either join the discord bot networks and have lightning fast load times or you accept that the achievement is going to take you an extra few years.

SE is too busy not giving fem hroth's hats to do anything else right now anyways.

Some people don't like people who just complain and don't come up with potential solutions to problems.

The original intent of the hunt was never supposed to be via hunt trains, but rather to be a group of friends finding one and taking it down.

The devs don’t seem to want to encourage hunt trains, but regardless this is the reality. Hunts need a rework to a) make S class not really a thing for trains (aka let them despawn/teleport/only give loot to the alliance that tags them) and b) make a new SS class mob that can really only be taken by multiple alliances. Ridiculous stuff from FF11, or world bosses from Guildwars 2.
