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

[XiXiQ]

I'm finding the hunt content impossible to do - getting there isn't really a thing, sometimes you do, sometimes you don't, but there are so many blow-ins from other servers The Mark never appears, so I can't target it at all. Last time I did it, I couldn't see 5 in a row and just gave up as it was pointless. The server I am on used to be quite good with holding off a few minutes to give people a chance to group, but not any more, others are coming in not interested in waiting seconds, let alone a few minutes.


I'm not against the immunity idea, a timer starts from the first hit. Then there's no need to be blaming each other for not waiting, you're either in time or you're not and that's on you. I'm more for it just to stop the petty squabbling than anything else.


The one thing they do have to address is the visibility, that mark needs to have priority visibility over all else.

This absolutely does need to change. A Ranks & S Ranks shouldn't be able to go invisible, especially when Shadowbringers ones have a lot of directionals that can instantly kill you.

In regards to everything else, I hope that they can at least update their HP levels. They have done it before, but it's lagging behind now. The current iLvl you can get just destroys these things & puts them to a level below trivial.

Lemme proposed an idea...

For combat classes, make a subquest for hunts. After unlock, you have an action that directly transport you to a boss when fight starts, or like... 15 seconds. Its like Collectability, can turn on and off.

You can also checkmark over which tier boss you want to hunt (ARR, HW, etc), so when you don't need that particular tier, it will skip.

Of course, drawback is inevitable, you cannot do your DoH or DoL thing (as it is a combat class action), ARR and HW still die too fast for teleport option, and maybe strain on server. Also, people might abuse it for a free teleport (still impractical)

That'd be interesting as sort of a rallying call to defeat them as they are the big and bad monsters. This would pretty much enable a bunch of people to get there instantly, but like you said, its impractical. I appreciate the idea though, maybe someone can come up with something based off it!

Feeling like Zack at the end of CC when it comes to this lol

Whenever I see a S Rank called in chat and it’s in ARR or HW I don’t bother going. By the time I click on the proper Aetherite to teleport, it’s probably already dead.

Honestly the 60 secs of invulnerability would be easier to add than more HP (we have that sort of thing on at least one raid boss already and it seems to work smoothly). Also consider that S ranks from different areas from the game are scaled to that level, so people who are still level 50/60/70 can still participate in hunts and start acruing for those mounts.

I will go a bit further and suggest adding a level sync to all S ranks (JUST on S ranks mind you). That way people are on slightly more even footing. That with a 30-60 second invuln timer should make these targets more accessible and perhaps tone down the cross server poaching. This could even be lifted for current max level S ranks and just implemented on the lower level ones. I mean at this point I don't even respond to an S rank callout that isnt level 80. Because I know it will be dead before I get there.

They should also block participants with minions out until they put them away. Or just auto dismiss. Im a bit on the fence about having chocobos out as well because I use my chocobo as healer a lot when I'm soloing but for sure, whatever extra resources are wasted on rendering minions during these events should absolutely not be.
