So how come The Great Hunt can't be unsynced?

[Doozer]

As a Monster Hunter fan I've wanted the Rathalos mount since I saw it was in the game, but only recently felt confident enough to actually attempt the EX fight. The only problem is I have pretty bad anxiety, and doing PF groups stresses me out a lot because I don't know the people. I did it about a month ago with a few friends on the same data center and we managed to complete it twice in like 20 attempts, but that's obviously not very fun. I used PF the other day to get a group together and got 3 clears in 3 attempts, but I was so stressed the entire time because at least one person said they'd just leave if we wiped even once. And duty finder isn't an option, I tried that, and people went in without even knowing what to do.

I figured when ShB came it could be done unsynced and my (less skilled) friends would have an easier time doing it with me, but it's pretty disheartening to see it's still the same as it was. The idea of doing it 50 times just to get enough scales to buy it outright exhausts me just to think about it.

I like how the fight is because it's very much like MH compared to the rest of the content in this game, so it makes it a really neat crossover. But even in MH you can do things with 4 people or you can do them solo. The multiplayer experience in MH is also very much like in this fight, where everyone else dies and I fail the fight despite never dying at all.

Are they really never going to let those ones be done unsynced?

Going to be honest, I feel like you shouldn't be able to do any content unsynced.

And *I* feel like you should be able to do *all* content unsynced, Alliance raids included. Give more options, not less.

Probably to keep the challenge as it is unique in its way.
Though the challenge is often trivialized with having three or all four players as tanks.

You can unsync alliance raids. Just need 6 people, 3 parties of 2. Of course, some raids can't be completed without enough people for mechanics.

You just need 3 to enter, but yeah, certain mechanics may require more to actually complete.

Cool, didn't really ask what people thought about whether content should be unsynced or not. Thanks for your valuable and relevant input.

I think it's just to retain the challenge, just like Ultimate.

I cant clear it to save my life. Every time I try the other members die on me. Something about predicting and reading its movements is just too hard for xiv players. Its too different. As a war, I can run it 10 times back to back and never die and still not clear it. Yet my healer/black mage gets one shot or double/triple tapped even if they survive the first hit. xD

Havent tried it since ShB though. Maybe the increase in ilevels will help them survive longer. I honestly gave up. Ive beaten mhw and started playing the other games as well. Maybe thats why I feel like its pretty easy. On mhw the other hunters are too clueless to stand behind the rock during behemoths meteor. There are ff players who also play mhw and people get plastered to the ground by meteor so often they gave up as well. xD

I feel like if that were the case, most content would never be doable unsynced. Also: it's really not even that challenging. I'm not trying to sound like some elitist idiot or anything, it's just that it feels way less complex than some other 'challenging fights'. Maybe it's just because I'm familiar with it from MHW.

God all of this is a Big Mood. I feel you.
