Moon mechanics are so annoying...

[Herr Morlock]

The way the game handles it's (for the endgame grind) necessary nightflower grind makes me want to murder somebody.

1.) In 3 out of 4 cases, I can't see a ♥♥♥♥ about the sky, since it's obscured by clouds and/or dense fog in the area.
Let alone that you are underground on most parts of the world map.

Why can't we get a simple "clock" which shows us, which moon phase is currently present?
Per example would the night symbol be perfect for showing us, how the moon looks like on the sky.

2.) And because you hardly can't see the moon through all those clouds/thunderstorm etc., you will have to rest for good luck at random and run everytime to those places for a few minutes, to see if it blooms.
Because even on clear nights (as rare as they are), the moon is rising below those mountains, minutes after beginning of your night.
So you are sitting there and waiting and waiting and nothing happens/blooms.

And the "fun" starts again. If you have bad luck, for 5-6 times, until you get the next full moon.

3.) And if this would not be annoying enough, I had it at least twice that the blossoms didn't open, although it was definitively a full moon.
Haha, you have spent a four digit amount of guild "money", only for watching a nightflower to NOT bloom on that fullmoon, you waited and grinded for half an hour.

How FUNNY.

There is no endgame grind.

I am so sick of this ♥♥♥♥ !

Coming right out of a mission, seeing that nighttime has just started and running towards the flowers, only to find them CLOSED, although the full moon is clearly present...

Why are you so obsessed with the moon to begin with???

Because it's the only proper method to get golden medling tickets, instead of grind monsters for dozens and dozens of hours, so you can get a proper selection of gems[3].

What's the problem with my post?

Do you prefer the forum to be flooded with all those braindead posts like:
1.) "eh, I can't run this game on Intel Pentium 90 Mhz computer anymore"
2.) "this game needs more lgbtq inclusion !!!1!"
3.) "I only get 500 FPS but I still suck at the game, so the devs are at fault"
4.) "the game is too easy, because after having all endgame armor and weapons fully upgraded, and 200hours of training in Wilds (and hundred of hours in the games before) I don't have to sweat anymore when fighting Chupacabra-Toad"

Do you like to have more ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ like THAT, instead? Really???

There is no grind. Just hunt and have fun. The time you spend going after the moon, you could have as well just have fun hunting.

I have a Rey Dau here that drops 7 deco per hunt+voucher... have you stopped to consider that this grind method was patched for a reason?

We got certain temps dropping great, we got duo hunts for t2 in bulk, we got the small influx of nata's rare items into the cauldron and artian parts if you were doing t6 quests.

Besides, you want Artian weapon items - so if you get them, you usually get good decos too. Moon hunting seems so... low level stuff.

Can you READ? They did not only nerf it, but BREAK it.

Those flowers are not supposed to not bloom on full moon, instead, the full moon is now supposed to not be exploitable anymore, by abusing the quest mechanics.

It is not broken. And you wrote already the reason for what you experienced. Twice.

No, they simply fully randomized the 2 missions we used to consistently get full moons+plenty+almost night so now they have varying moon phases on those missions and can't reliably "set seed" to farm them for an hour.

I've never seen the moon in MHW, it's always foggy and it never goes up enough to me to get past the static clouds on my settings.

Currently it just means you can check every hour to see if they are open or not as your moon clock is hour based, every 4 hours you get a new cycle, if you are in any of the half moons you should check out the scarlet forest. When joining SoS outside of your lobby too as they could have rare mats.

I wouldn't mind a proper marker/ui, but looting flowers has never been the inteded end game as CAPCOM HAS SHOWN, it's been hunting, maybe fishing and dumping excess on our bear friends, with an occasional detour on rare materials mid hunt.

I don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about what YOU consider to be grind or not.
And I don't give a ♥♥♥♥ about what YOU think is enjoyable in this game and what not.

You know why? Because I can think for myself to realize, what I consider as grind and what I consider to be fun, alone.

But maybe someone else appreciates your oppinion?
Well, it clearly ain't me.

Do you know how rare the chances are, that you would run over exactly those three spots, on pure accident?
This does not make sense, as a "feature", at all.

You get an explicit notification when it blooms. You cannot miss it.
