Is there a possibility of making every single S rank working like Ixion?

[ArielMercura]

Early pullers, with some of those mostly NOT even being the spawners, relayers or otherwise making any contribution other than rushing every single S rank for no reason, are actually plaguing the hunt community because "they're not against ToS for not respecting others", and "if you shout their name you would be reported for harassment". As a part-time spawner/relayer I've done my share of S/SS rank hunting at least for Endwalker part, but new, casual or returning players doing it as part of their gameplay.

I know Squeenix is not going to do anything to punish those morons, but please introduce some ADHD-proof to S rank such as those of Ixion. These mobs are SUPER notorious and deserve such mechanics.

If you mean to require an item to cause damage, you might still run into the same problem if the person that gets it decides enough people are there and the fight begins. Like the suggested invuln timers, it only serves to cause congestion on the target world and it has no regard for gatherers that might be trying to get in there for one reason or another.

Maybe the best solution is just to remove them. Drama over.

Temp Invulnerability, Having the Hunter Scholars report accurate ToDs in game, turning them into FATES. All great ideas IMO.

None will be implemented more than likely though. Folks have been trying for literal years just to keep being told it's not against ToS so... Literally, what can you do?? Might be better off trying to do this feedback on the JP forum in japanese, but I doubt they care like that about it over there.

Enough complaints and good suggestions, and eventualy devs do respond to these kind of things.

Changing the system so its simply no longer possible. The ToS then doesnt matter, and it might actualy even streamline the process (which to me is also a sad thing, as it removes even the most basic interaction between players).

And its not a very difficult thing either to change on the dev side. You mark the enemy similar to the small combat events you have in quests with a trigger radius (in this case the effect is hidden). The moment someone enters it, the boss spawns with a 5min invuln timer on it (alternatively, its always there with an infinite invuln and it changes to 5min upon entering). You then also make it immune towards any interactions so it cant be invuln pulled and be used for trolling. And now you already have the spawn protection on it.

I think the biggest difficulty is actualy figuring out what the best system would be. Sure, the one i just suggested might appear easier, but it also might have some additional conflicts.

I mean people have been asking for the hunt improvements on the forums since I started playing in 2013...
Maybe in 8.0 they'll finally get around to it, fingers crossed! Small indie company

Hunts are open world bosses they are free game. Nobody has to wait for anyone inregards to killing them, its a courtesy some players extend to others but not all. If killing hunts matters so much then you should be making the effort to help spawn or catch them when their up. Got my second Chi kill a few days ago only reason I got it cause I helped spawn it!! Didnt sit around waiting for others to do the work or hope I catch a shout that Chi was up.

Improvements would include blocking Wanderer and Traveler tags from damaging the boss, limiting rewards to the first 24 or so people, and other stuff that emphasizes the FFA nature of the Hunt. Improvements would not include timed invuln on the boss or a "can't pull" timer.

While it goes against the idea of FFA, the tag block sounds like a great idea. At the very least, DC hopping for hunts should be discouraged.

This is the reality. The community doesn't have to organize hunt trains or call out S ranks, we just do because it's kind to try to get as many people there as possible. If you miss a mark then just have to wait for it to come around again. I personally just designate specific days to doing hunt related stuff and watch TV or movies while keeping an eye on linkshells and discord posts so I can just instantly rush over and have a higher chance of grabbing it. I wouldn't expect any intervention on the devs part though because in their eyes, It's working as intended. Our method of doing hunts is completely player ran and not everyone needs to partake in it.

I don't think hunt trains were ever intended anyways.
