multiplayer in this game is a step back

mhw is much better.

[KVLT]

Yes, even more problematic if you don't wanna solo the hub quests.

Why?

MHW had large lobbies and even automatically assigned one. MHW also let you see a list of quests to respond to instead of hoping you get a match or praying when you join random it's not a dumpster fire one faint public hunt with apex monsters and Fujangs.
I feel like both of these are better solutions than what Rise does.

And anyone who says to just hunt with friends
1 : I ain't got monster hunter friends
2 : I don't know if I'm playing for 20 minutes or 5 hours

Not to mention everytime I join i end up just entering when then monster it's already defeated is soo annoying

[michaelroelant]

Its just lobby focused like the old games
At least the other hunters talk now, didnt see that a lot in world

No one is going to argue with you. MHW has the objectively superior online system.

Large lobbies are whatever, that isn't really an issue. Nor is automatically assigning one.

Being able to select quests is, however, an issue.

Yeah so suck quest board,When you start quest and send join request if your quest is not popular you have 99% to play alone it really suck if you not good in many type of weapons. because it not show in quest board as MHW.
in MHW if you just play for fun or want to help someone just look at quest board it will show who want your help but in MHR is not if you want to help via quest board you must browse and try each quest and wait..... so waste much time.

Yep. It's one of the most brought up subjects when people compare Rise and World.

This is why I liked SOS system so much. I might play for hours, or then I might just play 1 or 2 quests.

nah. mhw had a bad system. MHGU was way better. a big lobby where everyone does his own quest is not ''superior''

in MHGU you create your 4player lobby and -most importantly- give it a name so everyone knows what you are up to.

are you grinding Deviants? np everyone who joins will do the same.

dont you know what to do? no problem -> just join or create a ''turns'' lobby where players are taking turns so you get a good mix of different hunts and ppl can help eachother / just enjoy the game.

Rises mp is as bad as worlds though. 4 player lobby is a good thing, but you cant give it a name so its irrelevant. and its unbelievably annoying that mp becomes an 8v1 instead of a 4v1, since every hunter can use his dog/cat in mp. making it even more chaotic than mp already is.


TLDR: RISE and WORLD both have way worse mp than MHGU

PLS let us name our lobby again.

Edit: SOS was so bad. you have to start the hunt before you call ppl in. the first one joins, runs ahead, dies and leaves before the rest even started.

again -> MHGU every player joins into the hub, everyone knows whats going on, you eat together, may talk about the strategy, wait until everyone is ready and then you go out together. you win/lose totgether and then you start again, or do the next hunt with the same people. that also ensures that everyone wants the quest to succeed. i could go on for hours why world and rise both are such a big step back in terms of multiplayer.

The matchmaker is so fragmented that in order to play online a mod is basically mandatory and not having a quest browser is just a colossal failure.

Like what reasons? I really didn't see much anything else in your post than the ability to name lobbies. Every other change is just about how people play modern games, and how there are much more players now with the series hitting main stream. They have nothing to do with the game's multiplayer itself, they're completely external changes.

Your post really just sounds like a boomer rambling about the "good old days".
