S ranks needs invulnerability

[Mampie]

Right, its almost impossible to casually or even actively manage to get to S ranks on other servers than the one you are on yourself. If you are not sitting on the Aetheryte waiting for reports, its already too late.

Would not giving all S-ranks a 5 minute invulnerability buff, so they cannot be pulled before that time is over, be beneficial? Or would this ruin it for the people actually spawning them?

This would remove the problem of "early pullers" and put a timer of 5 minutes every time an S-rank spawns and remove a lot of negativity that surrounds S-ranks currently.

Thoughts?

It's an open world mob. There is no such thing as "early pullers" there. What you could do is to spawn them yourself.

Sure, I can spawn them myself if you remove the spawn timer.

I ain't wasting my time to attempt spawning something that's still on cooldown, because someone else killed it and I have either to wait and maybe not arrive on time, or try to spawn something very difficult to

What happens is free game. Nobody owns it, absolutely nobody

“Negativity surrounding hunts” would dissipate if people accepted they aren’t going to make every single mark and they’ll have another shot next spawn window. Ideally people shouldn’t be waiting at an aetherite, they should be in the instance helping spawn it.

S ranks always get early pulled when a expansion released, happened with Shb, talked with people who said it happened with EW, it's happening now, nothing we can do that doesn't break any rules

I don't think they need invul timers, but if they had a tool/book that gave information on how to spawn these S+ mobs/if they are on a cooldown/time until spawn that could help out with these being "common knowledge".

That being said, Local_Custard already said it, but Hunt Trains through discord/PF's are a huge tool in order to be able to know when things are happening. They are some fun groups to get into also and a lot of hijinks and laughing.

these hunts didn't even last 1 week before getting to the point players could burn them down in less than a minute.
they need to reconsider the entire system tbh... again, why even design these things with mechanics at this point?

[Mampie]

I have not said that people are not allowed to attack the S-ranks whenever they want. Im just saying that if they had a 5 minute invuln at spawn, people could get to them before they are dead.

Why would this not be wanted?

Honestly, the biggest villain is how ridiculously long it takes to change world when an S-rank is announced... ._.

Your suggestion would work, but I've seen a lot of people that seem to be adamantly against it
