I hate Alma, and here is why I feel that way.

[Rune]

Feel free to disagree, that's fine. Not trying to insult anyone's waifu. (Unless you like that butt ugly handler from MHWorld, that annoying cook needs a paper bag to cover that ugly face.)

Anyways, Alma is just so annoying. She follows around, never sits at camp like an actual handler. She doesn't gather materials fast enough for me to appreciate her following me around all the time. Also, I'm so sick and tired of her "authorizing" me to hunt a monster. Yeah, I know the technical lore reasons about guild knights and poaching, but holy crap its annoying.

She's a newcomer in a land she's not familiar with, and she's a cultural anthropologist, not a ecologist. There's no way she would know if it's safe to hunt said monster. Not only that, it just comes off as if she owns us, and a little bit condescending IMO.

The whole scene with the wudswuds (love those critters) where they took her stupid little idol, had no importance to the story at all. We would have met with the wudwuds regardless if she owned that idol or not.

She never sits down at the camp?

She is literally sitting in my tent right now.

Maybe he means the temporary camps?

Messaggio originale di Oni-Lyrics:

Worldcels will say all of this is why they hate the world handler.

But if you say the exact same thing about Alma they'll be like "Nuu shes the best cutie wholesome hot sexy :3333"

At least Alma is kinda pretty from certain angles. The Handler was... (shiver)... not...

[2D Knights]

This is how I feel. Please just let me leave her back at the camp bruh! or give her a stay put command and she'll wait for me in an area until I leave it or shoot a flare to call her and she can tell herself for the 1000'th time that "you can carve from smaller monsters too". Least yall PC'ers can mod her out. I'm on PS5. in 2025 I thought we solved characters that follow the player, make them optional, allow us to keep them quiet, allow us to make them stay put.

Messaggio originale di HunterXCooL:

Well Alma is okay... prettier yes... but world handler is actually doing a better job

In what universe? Even in-game it's stated that she literally doesn't do her job by the Serious Handler.

That's why. Now we have an ever-present handler and it's annoying.

[2D Knights]

Messaggio originale di MetalGearOpz87:

I don't know why people think the World handler was ugly. Like are you just hating to hate? I also don't mind Alma following me around. I think it's pretty cool.

She was kinda ugly to me, but that's okay. I don't mind ugly characters they can ground a game. Just like we can pick our faces some people are better looking than others.

Worst-designed character, for sure. Fake plastic modern glasses and a vest just to look like a pseudo-hipster. In a world where the theme doesn’t fit.

Then she follow you everywhere, very annoying. I preferred going back to camp to pick up quests or claim the reward, rather than having her in the way.

[幼蟲的紫大人]

There's probably some earbuds bug she uses to ask for authorization from the actual guild, maybe a I-pad bug

[2D Knights]

Messaggio originale di Ceryx:

The problem with being authorized is that you never feel like you've been inducted into the Guild, that you belong to it or that you have a place in the hierarchy and that Alma doesn't look like or feel like an authority. What she looks like is a hipster college student who'd be more at home ordering a barista around than a Monster Hunter.

It should be a moment where you get hype like you're finally unleashed but instead you just feel incredulous that she'd presume you need clearance to defend your own life.

Exactly, I feel like needing her authorization feels weak because she cant fight, Think about it... if she says no, and the hunter decides to stick around the monster anyway and not attack it Alma has to run away because she cant handle the monsters.

Id like to think when it comes to hunting giant creatures if someone's authorizing me to hunt one, they've at least hunted something like this before and can stick around to witness the hunt. And if it's about poaching then how come we can hunt as many little creatures we want to without authorization.

I feel like this is Monster Fighter and Alma is my manager who tells me when and where to fight lol.

In any case i'm mostly enjoying the game, cept Alma always following me

Lol its not personal Just wait for us at the camp, or go off and do your own thing. You don't have to follow us around all the time. You're a nice kid but sometimes we need out alone time. Boundaries y'know!

The Guild authorize me to stay at Camp, good hunting, Hunters!

[Azzy]

If I could feed her to a monster, I would (and I've tried). Story wise, the over the top "We must be suuuper understanding of these cultures", especially after the wudwud stole her idol, defending theft as "oh, it's what they do".

Then gameplay, following everywhere, getting in the way, and never shutting up. "Hey, did you know you can also carve from small monsters?" No ♥♥♥♥, now let me go back to hunting this tempered monster and stop telling me ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game basics. And don't get me started on the insistence of "guild authorisation". Hey, there's a huge monster literally killing people, better get approval first.

[Zarvera]

I don't really care about her, she's barely noticeable in the game itself and plot-wise i feel like it depends on how you made and perceive your Hunter. Mine ended up looking a mix of extreme confidence+a hint of smugness with a strong calm voice, so when combined with how this time around our Hunter is treated and explicitly presented as a respected veteran with their renown following them, it felt more like Alma was a restraint on what is essentially a walking-talking WMD. Like Alucard from Hellsing.
It basically climaxed at the Zoh Shia with that last badass scene of our Hunter practically softly intimidating Alma into unleashing them on the poor creature. Never once felt this whole authorization thing was in any way diminishing, quite on the contrary.

Just go and see your competent smithy and be at peace ;)

[Pride]

bunch of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ virgin incels in this thread. calling the handler from world ugly just shows you've never kissed a girl. like yeah she's not really attractive but she's certainly not ugly.

I started with WORLD and fell in love. I kicked myself so hard for not playing the series b4 when I had the chance and went back to play gen ultimate.

I would love an option to leave alma at camp because she blocks my screenshots.

a whole lot of you need to touch grass and talk to a girl.

now if you excuse me ill go back to monster hunter wilds with my fiancé.
