Endgame Sucks

[Turkwise]

Guaranteed rare drops whenever you want on top of getting more monster loot in general completely ruins the endgame. It eases the grind but that also kills the longevity of the game, the grind is the reason why most people play these games past the campaign. You end up being able to craft a monster's entire armor set and weapon by hunting them TWICE, three times at the absolute maximum.

This is without even mentioning how the High-Rank in this game is BY FAR the easiest in the series. Players are so much stronger in this game with focus mode, wounding and all the improvements to weapons while the monsters are arguably WEAKER. The wound system in particular is fun but needs some serious tweaks to make it balanced, the Flayer skill is stupidly overpowered.

To clarify further, none of these things would be that bad on their own, a bit less grind wouldn't be unwelcome. However, all of the issues combined makes the endgame suck ass. Normal materials drop in way higher quantities by breaking wounds, rare drops are no longer rare so they may as well not even exist, hunts last a maximum of 10 minutes if you aren't asleep at the wheel, the monster variety sucks, and the game is so easy that you aren't incentivized to use any of it's deeper mechanics. It was a sad day when I realized that there was no reason for me to play Hunting Horn because a support weapon is BEYOND unnecessary with the way this game has been balanced.

The end result is easy hunts that never last longer than 7-10 minutes where you almost completely invalidate the monsters entire existence once you kill them two or three times. That's the antithesis of Monster Hunter.

Less grind is good actually.

Less grind is good, I like that we can target farm things we want with enough effort. It makes things smoother.

With enough effort? There is literally zero effort required, you find an investigation for the monster you need that has a plate or gem and you kill a couple times. Congratulations, that monster may as well not exist anymore because you've invalidated its entire existence within two hunts. Why even play the game to begin with if you just want to speedrun through the actual meat of it?

In fact, with the new way co-op hunts work you dont even need to SEE the monster to get the rewards lmao.

Idk man it seems like most people are okay with the endgame, especially considering this is just the base game. I'm sorry you don't like it.

You don't have to continue to play the game if you're not having fun.

Lol, the exact same system existed in World. You checked investigations after you got back to the hub and bam, 3-5 nergi gems were yours.

Nah I think you just thought this was the chocolate store. It was never a chocolate store.

you want more grind try playing korean mmorpg without spending money, might be the right game for you who loves more grinding. I personally love this kind of end game, spend more time learning monster and try to master other weapons.

[TheUnknown]

Less grind than worlds and I LOVE IT! You can make more builds that way.
I disliked that you need to kill 5-10 of the same monster and each will take 20-30 minutes.

the endgame is fantastic, go play the old games grandpa

Yeah I don't get it, after 4U or maybe even after tri really, you can get everything in about 5 hunts unless the grind is something more specific like charm farm or deco farm, and those are still grindy in wilds to some extent but not something you have to dedicate 400 hours into it. 3U was even impossible to get all the charms even if you played indefinitely because there was a random seed generator and your save file could be locked out of some options.

Sounds fun! I might actually get this one seeing as how in world is taking me a month to even get anything.
