New hosting rules apparently dictate that room/hub owners are now always the server, even if they're not present when others are fighting the monster. I have tested this with several permutations of disconnecting/having others disconnect and it follows through every time.



If you're wondering how this effects you, well, if your hub owner has a s***ty connection, the monster is going to be laggy all the time and you will be whiffing a lot of attacks that you thought you were landing (because anything that doesn't happen on the host system doesn't count). That means if you're a hammer user, for instance, and not the host, you might beat on the enemy head for the entire quest and not only not get a KO, but never have actually hit the enemy.



Just an FYI for those who cared about these sorts of things. Official Holy Dragon Nall of the First Generation. Used to be that the first person in an area with the monster (assuming the monster was alerted) would become the 'host' for that room, and they would be the client side server that everyone else synced to. This would reset every time the monster changed areas, making the first person into the area the new host.New hosting rules apparently dictate that room/hub owners are now always the server, even if they're not present when others are fighting the monster.

It's the hub owner every time. If you didn't start the hub, or haven't become the hub owner by being selected when the owner leaves, you can tell as soon as you get in a quest by the item box lag.

No, in previous games the host was dynamic and based off the first person into a room with an active monster, or if multiple people were in a room, the first one to be noticed by the monster. Rooms with multiple people in them when an active monster entered had a randomly selected host. Official Holy Dragon Nall of the First Generation.

FYI: when I say 'room' I mean map areas, not multiplayer lobbies Official Holy Dragon Nall of the First Generation. It was weird, and honestly they way they have it now makes more sense, although overall it's worse because you can't get around playing with a s***ty host by being the first one into an area.FYI: when I say 'room' I mean map areas, not multiplayer lobbies

Ive had more evidence of this than what TC said.



Had a friend post a quest with me as Hub leader, takes 2 seconds to grab items from the blue item box.
