Arachnophobia mode

[Yankee]

Why can't the Arachnophobia Mode work for (Lala Barina) and (Nerscylla)? Will the module be modified or added mods in the future to make arachnophobes enjoy the game more comfortably?

I am very happy that this feature has been added to the game.
I just think that since Arachnophobia mode is designed.
Why not include all spider monsters.

The actual answer is that hitboxes and animations are finely tuned and have to work in multiplayer.

They really couldn't add this without changing the monster for everyone.

I love this game but I am really afraid of spiders. I believe there are many friends who are the same. It is not shameful to know your weaknesses. What is shameful is not having a tolerant heart.

I would encourage you (for real) to seek out some exposure therapy. This is a real thing designed to help people with very specific fears (like elevators, roller-coasters, etc).

My friend has fear with spider too. In the past game, he just use cheat engine one hit kill to get over the fight quickly in story mode. Maybe for now you can try to search or wait for that.

Get therapy or play a different games. There are things that have I a debilitating phobia of and I avoid it.

This is not a formal solution. But it is undeniably the worst solution. Thanks for your suggestion. But I still hope that the official will fix this module. Or consider adding mods or plugins in the near future. The reason why I open this thread is because I hope the authorities can take this issue seriously.

because you can just make a simple hitbox for the small spiders and reskin their 2 attacks.

to do something similar with the large monsters there is no easy way to keep the same detailed hitbox and attacks while massively redesigning how the monster looks.

this would end up meaning you either have 2 large monsters that have very screwy hitboxes and are actively screwing yourself by picking that mode, or they have to entirely make a new fight for arachnophobia mode for those 2 monsters. which now creates a balance concern and a multiplayer concern. arachnaphobia mode if it effected them and changed the fight would mean you can't play with non mode players, and you will have players picking one mode over the other based on which is easier for them to fight. and if the non mode is easier, you would be punishing yourself to pick it.

tl:dr there is literally no winning unless they didn't add those monsters (which probably would of been the smart move) and this is the option that impacts the game, and thus the players the least.

I know this is a big challenge for game design.

Oh, I missed the memo where every single monster in the game is a spider now . . .

[Fernando Cruz]

There are options:
Play with someone not afraid of it, let them defeat the monster.
Wait for mods to reskin the monster.

I don't play monster hunter for the giant spiders, dude. You and a bunch of other people in this thread seem to have no idea how a phobia actually ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ works.

They don't change the bosses because you need to watch their movements and such, and know exactly where to hit them. With the little spiders, it's easy, as they're just little insignificant things you can swing at blindly. But they didn't want to create all new models for the big spooders.
