A concern about hunts with the new cross-world feature

[Stormfur]

Conceivably, this cross-world feature that they're implementing in Shadowbringers would allow hunters to be able to hunt MORE marks across servers.

The concern is...a lot of the hunt groups use trackers to determine what has been spawned and killed, but what's to stop a group from going to a server, killing all the S ranks (as an example) and teleporting back to their home world?

lol the speed at which marks get obliterated I can't imagine this being much of a problem..

Thinking about it though I'll be waiting to see the early pull threads because people didnt give people a chance to change server lmao

I'm assuming there'll be lock in place, no hunting or anything that could effect the economy. I mean I am assuming so I could be 100% wrong too

I think it was mentioned in the keynote that you could hunt or do maps with friends.

The instant they announced the feature, I just imagined how awful hunting could get if all the trolls from across the data center had free reign to hop between servers and kill everything without marking it off or calling it.

We have a pretty healthy community of hunters on Jenova that hunt sniping on our server shouldn't be an issue. We have dedicated hunters keeping an eye on the SB A-ranks and all S-ranks pretty much 24/7. I guess it would vary server by server but those with a healthy hunt community shouldn't have a problem with things being sniped.

Leviathan has the same (thankfully).

Goblin and Coeurl also, but with the datacenter world shifts, there is no telling who is going where and how that will affect the hunt communities.

I assumed there will be a hunt train of people jumping from world to world to hunt the same A and S ranks multiple times pretty much continuously. If too many people come aboard then the destination world may become full and restrict them from entry temporarily however.

Another thing that should be addressed is the currency for hunts. ARR gives allied, with some centurio. HW gives centurio. SB gives....centurio.
Why wasn't another hunt currency made for SB hunt marks? This caused a problem since SE's "solution" to the hunt problem was merely adding (a metric shite ton) more health to the marks. Eventually players decided to just go after the ARR/HW because it was less work for the same amount, if not more, seals. Then Cracked Clusters were added, but it's still not enough. SB hunts should've have their own currency to begin with, while giving centurio on the side. (Like how ARR give 40allied/20 centurio.) Now, since we're between the item levels of 350-400, during prime time the SB marks get hunt down, and go down fairly quick. However, it's an ebb and flow type situation.
