Suggestion: Level Sync for S rank Hunts

[Akor]

The problem isnt just about S ranks, but all other old content too. SE just doesnt bother with it if after they are out. They spending fuck ton research on contents and after they made it, they abadone it real quick. They could have just copy-paste the Fate code and use it on the S-ranks atleast.

The only problem I see with this sort of thing is not everyone does the older S ranks, especially these days, i've had a ARR S rank pop on me while doing something else and shouted for 20+ mins trying to get people to come and when it at 10% health someone showed up and helped me kill it, if sync'd I more than likely wouldn't have tried to kill it and it would probably just despawn. Not everyone is in a hunt LS, I would have made a pf for it but I was in que for a DF already as a dps so really didn't want to reque. Problem with S ranks in HW and ARR is that the zones are so empty due to POTD or dungeons taking up the majority of the players. Anyhow unless there's a massive complaint from a good amount of players I really don't see them putting the effort into making it happen.

S ranks are really the only type of content that gets max level players into older zones other then special boss FATEs like Odin and gathering, so having them actually last for more then a few seconds would be nice, IMO.

I'm going to have a hard time getting my S rank hunting achievements for the Thanalan areas with the wonky spawn timers and the fickleness of the spawns happening AWAY from the areas where people are completing the tasks necessary to spawn them.

I guess this depends on the community per server because on mine, people call out old S and A ranks in LS, region chat, and even NN sometimes.

People generally wait for others to show up, form parties, do ready checks and calling for people who are otw (on the way) in the regional chat. We often get 10+ people showing up for an A or S rank in ARR areas.

This is what I've noticed on Leviathan too. People will shout the location and give others a bit of time to get there and usually ask if more are coming before pulling. Most A Rank hunt monsters I've killed have been due to this process. I've also had good luck stumbling across them and I always shout and wait before pulling to make sure all are there.

If the content can be done with less people, then keeping it inclusive requires making it doable more often. In other words, reduce both the minimum spawn time and spawn window.

If an example hunt nowadays can spawn 60 to 84 hours after it's been killed or alternatively 36 to 50 hours after maintenance has ended, make the new timer 12 to 16 hours. That way there are more opportunities to kill it and people don't waste a full day trying to spawn it without a result because of the spawn window being longer than waking hours. If this new timer would cause a hunt group to not have enough time to kill every hunt every time they are up, then GOOD, because now a whole other bunch of people have a better chance to spawn and kill it too.

Why I see these topics only from entitled players who never scout/help to spawn and only leech off extremelly time consuming work.

Please, stop. If you help to spawn, you'll never miss S rank.

I found another person who didn't read the OP.

@OP: I support your idea.
