Reduce the insane spawn timers on S marks.

[JamieRose]

Is it really necessary to make everyone wait 4 days to spawn an S mark on top of the numerous and equally insane requirements to get them to pop. I've been trying to get to Udumbara for 3 months now and every time it spawns I'm asleep. I don't really see any benefit to having a spawn time that's so egregiously long. It's not like these marks give that much in terms of currency.

If you want to keep them "rare", fine, but is there any realistic reason to have the spawn more than 24 hours at a time? (Even that seems ridiculous to me, but hey I'm willing to compromise.)

C'mon Squeenix, this is ridiculous.

I think the timers for S ranks are just fine.
If anything, some of the ARR S ranks should have longer CDs.

May I ask why?

Are you trying to spawn it or only waiting for someone else to do it and call it? Engaging in cross world hunts? Udumbara is currently open on Balmung, Brynhildr, Diabolos, Goblin and Malboro. Go try spawning it.

I would also like a definition for “insane” spawn requirements.

I'm curious whey are you so interested in S ranks? Seems the hunt community is a lot more in to 16/16 SHB A rank trains that the S ranks themselves. Various discords will ping you when various hunts are up and available and personally I don't see any problem with the S rank spawn timer.

I'm trying to get the achievements.

What's worth achieving if not the near unobtainable?
Don't ask to make things easier, work to get them more efficiently.

I don't really understand how you conflate insanely long spawn timers to difficulty. That's not difficulty, it's just time gating.

Of course it's time gating. It's an MMO, time gating is what this does best.
However there's better ways to go about it than asking for an easier time than anyone before you.
Jump servers, help them with their S ranks. There's hunt communities out there that'll tell you what server on your data centre is spawning what.

I find the s ranks to spawn way too often now because of the server hopping.
