-sigh- Could Hunt Immunity be a thing...?

[EnigmaticDodo]

I really hate to be 'that guy' and suggest this, as the purpose of hunts isn't apparently supposed to be cooperative (as people supposedly say), but a lot of people treat it that way nonetheless. The ideal world situation is folks maybe wait 2 minutes at the most, but generally, this doesn't happen.

So, anyways, could a forced "Immunity" status be applied to hunts for a minute? If not an immunity status, then could S Ranks have a larger HP Pool? Maybe matching Stormblood S Rank HP? Just something to allow people to gather up, which seems to be the general wanted action, but some folks are just impatient, or honestly, some people thrive off of negative attention gained.

IDK, just a thought. Roast me off the Mothercrystal, please!

in addition,

* Hunt Marks need to be given rendering priority above all else. They are frequently disappearing due to the amount of players that are present for hunts and this just cant be a thing when current A Rank/S Ranks are capable of instant kills or damn near close

* SS Rank Minions that spawn need to not be allowed to de-spawn from being reset. Some players are actively engaging in this behavior to deny SS Ranks.

* User KageTokage, has suggested that Hunter Scholars in the misc areas have timestamps of death from the various hunts. This would greatly extend their usefulness beyond just providing lore.

Edit Note: My character on the forums is not one I mostly use, this is not occuring on Gilgamesh (that I'm aware of lol), but I will not specify, just intend to bring it up as an issue.
Edit 2: Added Increased HP as opposed to outright immunity.
Edit 3: added rendering priority.
Edit 4: added SS Rank Minions being unable to despawn + suggestions, I guess this has just turned into a hunting feedback post for me lol

If it's dying before you get there, then there were enough people gathered.

I usually get there to find 0-1 players nearby, and this is on an overstuffed server. This happens so often that I don't even bother going to investigate unless it's nearby in the same zone and instance.

People sharing their hunt is an act of generosity. It's not an obligation. They found it. They aren't obligated to wait for everyone and their mother to arrive.

It's a bit more complicated than that, especially in the case of S Rank Hunts. The people killing them, especially in ARR and HW zones, aren't necessarily the ones who spawned it.

You still aren't entitled to every S rank found. If enough people were present for it to be killed then you were simply too slow to arrive.

The problem I have with this statement is from what I've seen the people doing the "early pulling" and killing the hunt before everyone has arrived is they're not the ones scouting them out or spawning them. They're going off of others work posted either through Discord or Hunt Linkshell.

This. ^
Also, its not generosity nor obligation, they cannot solo kill a level 80 A/S hunt, and 99% of the time they did not find it themselves anyway, the only thing it is is being a dou***. I'm typically the first to arrive on calls as a PC player using an M.2 drive etc etc, in short, the PC cannot even get faster, nor do I miss many pulls (Like 1 in 2/3 months), but even I think there are a ton of people with no common decency pulling.

As Elazu said the majority of the time I'll literally watch some garbo tank fly down from the air, 10 seconds ahead of time since they also like to come down from the sky in a completely different direction then everyone (So you can see it coming a mile away they're gonna pull it), and just solo pull it instantly after landing right at its feet. It's almost bot like.

But ya, more HP for old 70 and lower hunts would be ideal.

This is what the Devs have said in the past, they told everybody that Hunts are on a first come, first kill basis. Resetting them is against the rules as well so once its pulled, the only way to stop it from dying is to have everybody die in a wipe.

If people really want to have a shot at that rare S rank, I suppose you could always petition the Devs to make mini-relic style quests to create an item that would "summon" the desired target. The rarer the target, the harder and longer the summoning quest would be. That is, you can spend the time to spawn it the current way or spend a kings ransom of time and gil to spawn it.
