S ranks needs invulnerability

[LyraShu]

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

All I think of is "where is the line stop?". Like, at 5 minutes what if someone pops in the instance hoping for the S rank and asking you to hold for 30 more seconds, are we going to advocate for 5 minutes and 30 seconds after a time to include them as well? Plus, once you have people know they can wait for 5 more minutes on a S Rank that is due to spawn, you will have even more last minute people joining that train and fights will happen just like they are now for "early pullers". I think that when it would first be implemented, we wouldn't see that but after a time, this would pop up and we would be back in this boat.

Idk, its why I think having information more readily available would be the better fix because then you could preplan better for those world jumps....again in my opinion haha.

At 5 minutes :P

No, it usually depends on World/Data Center culture. In Primal we usually actually wait 5 minutes as a courtesy to fellow players, but it only takes one troll or player that doesn't know hunting etiquette and it's all over (with a lot of people shouting asking everyone to do slow DPS). It's particularly bad right now since we get an influx of players that are not normally part of the community. And mind you, early pullers are usually not the spawners themselves.

The problem with the world changing feature is that since everyone jumps in to try to get to the mark at the same time.. You basically get this situation:

Haha, completely fair! Though I will admit my brain goes to "how can we enable people that want that extra time more" instead of "how to stall for time" kinda thought process but I think we both are wanting more people to be able to have access to it in the end. I think no matter what, having something there to help people whether it is a invul timer/information book/(from Nitelancer...love the idea)have a world message that pops up would be amazing.

As far as the congestion, I am sure that is a nightmare to deal with @.@ It's why I haven't started hunts in Dawntrail......yet >.>
