The Hunt is garbage and needs to be fixed

[tsuchii]

OMG this would fix EVERYTHING. Also the spawns are personal or party-restricted.

I spawn myself and it is NOT enough. FYI- Spawns are not guaranteed. You can meet the requirement and be in the window and it still will not spawn. Not sure if you are aware of that. It is something you CANNOT control. YES, I CAN complain if that is the case.

As some who has all the hunt achievements, I really wish hunts were more like big FATES like Chi or Archaeotania. Them currently just being just lazy currency piñatas is just not fun.

None of it is fun. It's just a mindless, un-fun chore.
IDK how I managed to get 600 each in SHB and EW but it's ridiculous.

Even if someone pulls it upon spawn, there should be enough time to get to it despite the godawful server transfer queues.

Why? SE never designed them to be like that. You won’t make every hunt. There’ll always be future hunts. Go to those.

Be the spawner and you won't miss out.

If you're not the spawner, then you shouldn't be complaining about hunt sharing. You wouldn't get to participate if it weren't for the fact others were trying to share the information with you.

This mindset right here is such a terrible concept that people stand by and I find that utterly fascinating. Your right. All of us should be the spawner so we don't miss out on S Ranks. Every player in the game rn should spawn their S Rank right now because there is enough to go around for the several million players we have.

Other people are doing stuff in the game, or even trying to spawn other S Ranks. "well you aren't allowed to complain. You wouldn't miss it if you were the spaw-" oh my GOD shut it. Everyone who says this barely even spawn the S Ranks, if any at all. Spawners often CALL a pull time on Primal but people won't listen to them.

I love the hunt community because we band together and share the enjoyment. But then there are people like you. Who do not understand what the MMO in "Award winning MMORPG" stands for. I get SO happy even thinking about the amount of people who get to participate in the hunt I just spawned. Because after relay, waiting 5 minutes on average is nothing. We don't got places to be, we're playing FFXIV Online: Endwalker Patch 6.57: Growing Light. If its something irl that is important, step away as that takes priority. If it's in game, then weigh the importance of it.
Before you say anything about "well it doesn't matter it will respawn" as a rebuttal, that is a completely different thing. It's "Oh I can't get to this sadly" vs "I tried getting to this but it was killed early", the intention to go was there, and they lose out on time and the S rank.

Idk the original poster is right hunts need to be adjusted because this is a subset of content in the game that is extremely active always, and should be enjoyable to everyone. Not just me. I'd be unhappy if I got the S Rank but 50-100 people didn't. I want as many people to get a chance to participate and gain together.

Quite enjoy hunts as they are, and would be thoroughly put off if they did sync them.
That said, the fact they despawn is horrible.
Would seriously consider leading a train were it not for that.
Been on trains where every other mark has vanished, would never want to be in that position.
If they have to despawn for server reasons or whatever, at least put some in game indicator as to when. Maybe a debuff on the mob that does nothing more than tick down to when it's set to despawn.

Okay then it should be redesigned. The game was never meant to have two dye channels. The game was never meant to be a flop and then revived.

You won't make every hunt is true, but in this context they are actively trying and going to S Ranks. "Go to those" okay what if they try and people early pull and they can't make it. "Go to those" and again "Go to those" and again

As many people should be able to participate as possible. Yes there is a point where it is unreasonable. But the response is different between a 2 minute relay pull and being upset, vs a 6 minute relay to pull difference. One is "other people actively ruined this oppertunity I tried to make" and the other is "Augh I was in a duty when it popped that's unfortunate"

The two ideas I like are either have it have a big Atk/Def buff that every minute drops a stack until it goes away. And then as the other person said, it scales to the # of people in the zone. Level sync would ACTUALLY hinder hunts like crazy since you would only get poetics, nuts, and clusters. No Weekly or Cap tomes.

Also I was gonna say well they do despawn but it's pretty rare... but then I realize the world server you are on,,,, I wish y'all over there the best of luck and more importantly, more players

"You sense the presence of an extremely powerful mark..."

"... the power of the mark has synced your level to its own."

Done deal. This could be woven into any patch if they actually cared to do it.
