The lack of end game grind is painful

[FallenActual]

So I went through the entire story to the final missions in HR without fainting once and I took my time to do all the optional hunts/quests as the came up, so when I got to 'endgame' all I had to do was farm Arkveld 5 ish times to get BIS full armor and a perfect 3x weapon damage artian weapon. Which just took me right at 40 hours from beginning to end. The lack of any real meaningful 'endgame' grind or content for that matter is painful.

edit: We could have at least gotten daily/weekly community goals for cosmetics or something which is better than what we have now. The true problem with this game I think is its gotten so easy and fast to kill monsters on top of the loot drops being so high we aren't spending our time hunting monsters multiple times to get the gear we need to face off against challenging monster and progress. Instead we fight a monster for 5 minutes, kill/capture and move on and we never really have to stop to upgrade.

Hey yeah hello so judging by past content updates in like 25 MH games (or even just World, if we're using the new standard for MH as an example) the reason they give you all that endgame weaponry is because they're going to add more things. There's generally a lot of monsters and hunts added post-release, World was getting stuff for a long time even before iceborne came out.

And hey there's also the inevitable expansion to look forward to! Iceborne really changed up world for the better and brought a whole host of monsters to hunt along with the guiding lands to expand your time spent in the game. Sunbreak did a lot of similar things.

I'm guessing you're new to the franchise so welcome! MH gets pretty cozy and bloated once all the extra content starts rolling out but at least we don't have to buy Tri Frontier Ultimate Generations edition anymore, just a single expansion to add on content rather than having to re-buy a whole ass game.

DLC for games isn't real and never has been. If it's not in base it's not in the videogame, Also hi looks like you're new to Monster Hunter so welcome :) Keep content coping, Wilds has less base than world and rise did and there's no amount of cope that'll change that. Enjoy your 0 elder dragons :))))

LOL Rage Baby every MH was like this just because you have a 10% chance to get an item so you have to grind to do 1 thing people with work and lives would like a way around that

This isn't an MMO, never been and I hope will never be. For release state, it has more than enough content to satisfy my wants.
getting the right armor and weapon has always been the ground framework for your build. Farm decos, unlock the new equipment via side quests, unlock layered armor, have great coop experience - and then wait for the future updates.

tier 8 artian weapon fragments spawn on 6 monsters. Which isn't many, but it's more than just arkveld. But yes 40 hours of content lines up with my experience as well, I might play it a bit more to get some more artian weapons, but I've done every optional and there really isn't anything left to do.

Game gives you all this endgame weaponry and nothing to do with it lol

This is a big problem that many want to paint over. Seven years from World and this is what they offer the fanbase. Sad.

Has about the same as world. Have you done all the side quests? Killed every monster? Capture every monster? Every optional quest? Every investigation?

It has content, but why are people shocked that a game called MONSTER HUNTER is all about HUNTING MONSTERS over and over?

yes I made sure to do All NPC side quests and I went though all my optional quests and they are all check marked as done including the dumb ones like hunt 8x of these small animals

You have 44 hours into the game and have over half the achievements done in less than a week since release. You've certainly been playing it more than a lot of people here. It's little surprise you're running out of non-repeatable content to do.

Assuming you really did get a perfect set of rank 8 Artian parts already (highly unlikely but possible) you still likely need good decos. Deco farming and optimizing your loadout for for skills has always been more of the real end game than any equipment crafting ever was.

What do you mean highly unlikely? The game throws tons of weapon parts at you and then you just get 50 Oricalcite and abuse the ♥♥♥♥ out of the enhancement RNG seed.

What did world offer at LAUNCH?

Just a fckn augment grind. No layered armor, no special events. nothing. At least here you can do variety build and mess around while obtaining layered armor, talismans, artian weapons, decos, armor stones.

Just tempered monsters and uagment grind and maybe some mats for talismans

Decvoration grind what? There was none. Nada, not. Farming for attack 1 decos was not a grind, it was to fckng dumb how low this drop rate was.

Base World actually had a reason to farm better gear because tempered Elder Dragons were challenging and took a while to master killing. In Wilds you just roll up to tempered Arkveld in low-rank armor and whatever random weapon you cobbled together and body him with near-zero danger.

There's only so much fun to be had in bullying defenseless monsters.

Very disappointing that it's shorter than all titles in the entire series AND $70.

modern gaming industry issues really. Most games are developed and release before 100% completion and are live services. MH now is no different when they are slowly releasing content in the future

[Canis Furens]

Curious, when they cut all the idiotic things from the past like grinding, the game became short. They have to work on contents, basing your game about grinding is really poor like the ones which like it. You really enjoyed the no sense kill over and over the same monster? In world i don't even remember how many times i crashed the head of the Fatalis for his quacking eye and never get that untill i killed him 10 times. Grind is a good mechanic ah?

They really need to make more monsters 7* so we don't have to grind the same 6 monsters over and over again. For decorations it's even worse because you have to go for Arkveld.

I really hope that the AT monster in TU 1 elevates one of the <6* monsters to 7* and that Mizutsune and the unknown monster start out at 7*.

This is a lie. For decorations you can do anything...

Ah, I just realized that 6* also works for Ancient Orbs. That's still not "do anything" though. That's still only 6 monsters.
