Why does the sunbreak endgame sucks so much?

[Zizin]

Really. Jesus christ. i know MH is very grindy but this ♥♥♥♥ gives blizzard a run for its money. the anomaly stuff is just bad and uninspired. the guiding lands at least looked nice and had some variety. really, what the hell were they thinking?

[EDIT]
I've changed my mind. the endgame is ok/good i'm doing the anomaly quests and they're fun. made this thread cuz i was mad i didnt find the materials for the qurio upgrade.

Grinding lands design leaves a lot to be desired. Compared to anomaly, grinding lands is designed to artificially extend playtime with its leveling system.
Not saying anomaly is good, its just the way grind is in Rise. There will be something else in wilds.

hopefully. but idk if im just """nostalgic""" but it really leaves stuff to be desired, like when you try to upgrade a weapon and you have to farm lvls etc. btw if you dont mind, how do you unlock the anomaly quests lvl 5?

Keep going for AR5.
Iirc, each AR unlocks every 20 lvls

actually its good if they directly introduce anomaly instead wasting time on MR

"Has variety" is the last thing ANYONE says to describe the Guiding Lands.

I enjoyed Guiding Lands because it was fun to drop in, put on a podcast or video, and just kind of mindlessly fight monsters that constantly cycle in and out for a couple of hours instead of having to constantly pick up new quests. As an endgame grind loop, I enjoyed that, but I hated how the leveling system worked and the mods that made it so you could cap all areas at the same time were great.

I didn't do too many Anomaly fights, but I did like that they actually made you fight monsters in different ways so you could hit the little blorbs, but it did feel like things were way too tanky and took forever. Again, I didn't actually do that much anomaly grinding so maybe I just wasn't doing them right.

If an anomaly is taking long, it's because you aren't dealing enough damage. Treat it as another Rank, LR, HR, MR, AR. Upgrade your gear with AR stuff and things will go faster. Just like how MH always is.

You needed to do guiding lands only long enough to snipe specific upgrades for augments, and then you moved on. What took the longest in MHW end game was grinding jewels, and they had a fairly easy MR tempered teostra event that people ran for that. Once you got the jewels and your equipment, you were free to do the hunts you wanted to do.

End game in MHW was Fatalis, and Arch Tempered Velkana.

[Laughing kookaburra]

it's 10 times better than TGL, nobody likes that ♥♥♥♥

[Stunlock]

MHGU Deviants/MHW Grinding Lands and Tempered/MHR Anomalies. Take your pick, its all bloated boring ♥♥♥♥ that has infected all the best MH games and will probably infect the new one.

Endgame for rise is vastly more open ended compared to world. I still prefer world in general, but anything can be utilized and considered strong in rise, compared to world where endgame is just fatty + grinding lands

[Plumpeach]

I dunno, I am just helping randoms via ingame and its the same three monsters. Its truly a watch a video while you side glance at the game.

gatekeeping is one of the reason i hated anomaly quest investigation
if you are grinding high lvl anomaly while your friend is low level they cannot join in or even randoms who join in to your lobby

That's what I did with my friends, and I eventually got burned out because the amount of experience given is just too low. Repeating the same quests over and over ( picking the best quest for time efficient ) with bloated HP is not fun at all.

I also hated that it turned into an MMO with a huge level cap disparity within parties. finding lobby with randoms within the cap is exhausting so i ended up doing random sos encounter.

and fyi everytime there's a new level anomaly cap my friends doesnt even bother to cap their level for one reason : its boring and tedious which is true what i also felt in long run.

end-game grinding for materials to augment skills with RNG and updating your armor piece by piece because of new metas or better skills arrived in update is annoying and tedious.

I really prefered and appreciate the RNG of getting decorations from quests in Monster Hunter World since they remain usable and relevant until the end of the update.

in Monster Hunter World, there are specific quests that make grinding Master Rank more relaxing, and you gain experience faster too and people can share their guiding lands and summons. so its easier to find groups and interact with people than sunbreak end game
