"The following hunter targets should now reliably spawn" I read that as "We have finally ensured that these npcs will actually spawn"

"The following hunter achievement components have been removed" I read that as "Some of these never existed and the others are too difficult to spawn correctly"

Thanks for the information. It kills me how they have handled the whole spawning process. I really hope they make some quality of life changes.
