massively increase hunt frequency?

[Rufalus]

At the moment it\\'s possible for a fast (or cheating) team to catch every hunt, and since the monsters die almost instantly it denies all other players on the world from participating in this feature of the game.

Several hunts should be active at all times, so that it is impossible for a cheating radar team to be everywhere at once and monopolise this feature.

Killing a target could force others to spawn somewhere. Ideally there would always be a few available in each zone, so you wouldn\\'t need to keep loading different zones, you pick your favorite zone or one that is not overpopulated, and continuously search and defeat B and A ranks, with the S rank of that zone spawning every few hours.

If hunts are intended to be defeated by small groups then it seems obvious that there needs to be far more of them to satisfy the demand. To avoid increasing HP to balance for hundreds of players.... you need more monsters in the world.

Increase HP isn't the answer.
Increase the Defense, reduced damage by let's say 95% of all attack for the first 3min, then it decrease over time.
With that kind of change, it would make the NM last longer.

Also, the paper drop, if you claim the NM, it make ppl pull really soon.
If they give the paper only for thoses that have not the claim (good way to troll out the players), it will last longer too, maybe indefinitely longer until another one NM pop. ^^

The answer is really simple. It's not some cooldown or timer where the mob is invulnerable. That could backfire... badly.

Why not just base the mobs hp/defense based on nearby players or even the number of players in the zone? Simple/easy fix. If people are interested and nearby, then they have a shot. If a ton of people suddenly show up, well they can have a shot too. Just would need it to be able to scale as people show up. Like a stacking buff on the boss.

Why it must be from 100% to 0% HP and why we dont get the reward at end of day?

Well, hunts were never intended to be shared like they are atm. But yeah, SE should have seen this coming.

And you don't need hacks to "monopolise" hunts. Many linkshells use these hunt tables. The moment the mob is killed, it gets flagged as dead by players and the table shows when it will be up next time.

I don't think anyone understood the thread. I am saying there should be more hunt monsters at the same time to make up for the demand to use this feature. This way it is not necessary to increase monster HP and each monster can be fought by small groups of players as intended. If there are on average 3 hunt targets spawned per zone at any given time, totalling dozens across the world active simultaneously, then players can play in the zone of their choosing and enjoy the hunt without a small group of people monopolising this content.

Hunts are already way too rewarding, and you want even more up at the same time? :/ Just join a good hunting linkshell if you have concerns about making it to every B, A, and S rank that pops up. Socialize.

Pretty much what Rinchan said, there's more than enough as it is right now.

You must be playing on a world with different conditions and demand than mine. I am not concerned about making it to every hunt, I am concerned about making it to ANY hunt. The feature practically doesn't exist right now. There are hundreds of people searching for enemies that require only a few participants. If there are only 1 of these enemies in the whole world at a given time, do you understand how that is not enough.

[Rufalus]

Hunts are not too rewarding if the majority of people actively searching receive zero reward consistently. I see only cursing and death threats in the game, but here people are defending it like there's no problem...
