T5 Hunts are Too Rare and We should have some control over their spawn imho.

Also yeah this game actually has a difficulty level per monster outside the 1-8 star ranking. Beneath the monster is a set of 3-5 purple stars which I will refer to as tier from hereon to avoid confusion.

Tier basically determines how much extra health/damage the monster has and it makes a massive difference even on non-tempered monsters.

Tempered t5 Apex monsters will delete a large portion of your Hp, if not one shot you with many of their attacks, and take much longer to kill, especially when solo. They also are knocked down less frequently when wounded (usually needing multiple wounds broken at once to force a knockdown), and have actual compounding immunities to things like paralysis.

Regular Tempered t5 monsters will use their most powerful attacks more often, have way more health, are way more aggressive, deal around 200% increased damage overall, and are staggered/knocked out less easily.

The main issue that seems to make the game too easy is that the spawn rate of tempered, t5 monsters is way, way too low compared to the t3/t4 counterparts which are just spammed all over the map.

I believe that instead of increasing the spawn rate, players should have control over this through use of resources like Zenny/Hunter points, etc. So players have some form of granular control over the actual difficulty of their sessions.


Also in terms of rewards, there's only a very very slight increase due to more hp= longer hunts = slightly more wounds and thus more parts.

This probably won't fix the game feeling too easy for most but there is definitely a profound difference between these monster rankings, t5 Tempered Rathalos/Rathian fireball literally has different visual effects where it's like they are vomiting out a mini nuke.

Strong disagree. I see 5-star tempered monsters all the damned time. I barely ever see 3-star tempered monsters at all, which is a shame since I only want to fight the easier ones because it takes way less time to grind through their healthpool.

Past experience suggests the Desire Sensor is in play. I mean it isn't like there is even such a thing as Rare Loot any more, so the Desire Sensor had to turn its attention to other things.

I have to agree with OP I almost never see any T5 hunts. Just looked at my map right now and I've got zero available t5 hunts. Looking at my lobby there are only two t5 hunts being shared at the moment in the lobby I'm in. If they are so common you would think people would be posting them up to join but I can't seem to find many via SOS either.

Pls capcom. Give a difficulty slider basically. Let us enjoy harder/easier hunts on our own whims.

Agree.

But hey... dunno if you guys simply forget to save t5 hunts. You don´t even have to beat the monster to do so. And somewhere between new spawns and repeating them, i´m sure some others will appear.

I personally don´t even know where to start. I already had Gore, 2 Arkvelds and several others D5 monster within 3 hours yesterday. All saved now for such "downtimes".

I've been saving plenty of them, it's just the general lack of them that's been putting a damper on things. Which is upsetting since you get some unique effects on some of the t5 tempered variants of monsters and I've actually yet to see them all just due to some of them not even spawning yet.
