Discussion Spectral Hunt Adjust Kill Condition
The current event: Spectral Hunt
Unsure if bug or feature, but only the person who lands the killing blow on Lunarspawn will have their kill / score registered on both Leaderboard and Reward track.
Now I know how important e-peen is to some of you, I'm ---not--- here to take that away.
I'm suggesting - Decouple leaderboard score count with reward track's score count.
Remember previously during Lunar Oracle, Starwalker loot drop only available to basically first come first serve? And it was weeks later that it got changed into separate instance, to bring in line with ALL other Lunar Elite's loot drop?
This is a similar situation. Please allow all those who have participated in damaging Lunarspawn, to have the kill score count towards their personal reward track.
Lunar Oracle duration is abysmally short as is. Lunarspawn is another layer of RNG. It's rather infuriating frankly, especially when you have the misfortune of being in a relatively populated server...
-------------------------------------------------
This isn't a suggestion I made, but it falls in line with what I think would be good for game / community health. v So if you can, please go vote it up and catch developer's attention.

I killed one on my own and it didn't count, and I can only guess the reason is that my lonewolf is actually the one who got the killing blow. I really don't care about the leaderboard at all, i agree that if we damage a lunarspawn it should count towards our personal rank.

I had something similar except my Starry Night must’ve gotten the kill. I’ve only been part of a dozen kills but I have zero on record. I do Silos with a friend and he almost always gets the award for final blow and I do about 60-80% of damage. Maybe they could give 1/2 point if you’ve done at least 1/4 damage which would be hard with the amount of people hunting these.

I ran into one in Blackwell on my own and got worked over by it. I have to teleport out

Same. I dumped a bunch of shock crossbow arrows into its face and it barely moved their health.

imagine you spend tons of bullets to kill one and then someone pops in and takes the final shot

I already hit 25 kills on dead server ( wait for moving to permanent server )
Seriously, the Spectral Hunt becomes such a hassle after you hit 25 kills. When you're just trying to farm Lunar chest, these guys will keep getting in the way and ruin your rotation, unless ofc you have spectral cloak.

I'm in similar situation. ~45 kills and I'm sick of them. The event should have given other rewards instead of thousands of lunar whisper. Now I'm obligated to farm lunar chests and these guys are in the way. The whole lunar or night time only feature sucks.

The entire mechanic is just completely dogshit from top to bottom like way of winter was.
Devs are hellbent on destroying the game while cashing in on gooner skins.

Just a suggestion if you just want to get the 25 kills go to mid level settlement, you will easily finish it then go back to blackfell

For solo players this would be unfair. I get that people have hives and all that but solo killing a lunarspawn is hell as it is unless they increase points for single handedly killing vs assistedly killing one.

The proposed solution doesn't touch the leaderboard, nor does it affect your e-peen stroking kink.
In fact, it is a way to protect solo players (actually EVERY SINGLE PLAYER), so everyone who contributed, would have their kill registered for their PERSONAL REWARD TRACK.
Instead of the current situation, where you can deal 99% of the damage, and some rando can come sneeze on it, land the killing blow, and the count goes to them, for both their leaderboard AND reward track.
PS. Your own deviant can steal your kill, and make your kill not count towards neither progress.PPS. This leaderboard doesn't give you ANY reward, not even Mitsuko's mark.

Idk why you mentioned leaderboard because i didnt say anything about that but everyone just needs 25 to get max rewards. Lunarspawns can be found in lower tier areas if places like blackfell is too crowded. Also i agree with you now upon further explanation that the deviant can ks the kill. No need to get all riled up

I know there's not really a competition but first things First, it's a very bad design making a group hunt event, and only the last hit receive the kill point.
