What is the "midgame"?

[Paragon]

A friend of mine told me to play solo untill the midgame, to learn the required combat skills and other mechanics through a trial by fire. Also because theres no one still in the early game.

When does this end?

Probably the start of high rank? idk ask your friend

i would say midgame is after the story, because then you start to farm monsters for even more builds etc. and after that you get to the endgame where you start decoration farming to maximize your builds

...the MIDGAME is after you finish the story.

I heard the grind was real but damn.

well the story is kind of like a introduction to the game, it already gets to a point where you have to farm materials, but after the story there is only the maximizing and perfecting builds aspect alongside to the deco farming, and while you do that, you also wait for updates with newer monsters etc.

also the fun is not in the grind itself, the fun is in perfecting the fights against the monsters, once you know a monster good enough to where you can tell what happens next, it feels like dancing, you dodge perfectly and you get better and stronger each time :P

I agree with doko. Mid game is grinding for the gear you want, end game is grinding for the decorations you want.

So basically I have to beat the story on my own then I can play multiplayer and grind stuff.

I really do hope its more appealing than it sounds.

Mid game starts after you beat the main story imo which is after HR 16. Your friend probably wants you to get good on your own and learn instead of just getting carried by others.

It is. Half of the fun is discovering yourself about how crazy you can go hunting solo.
The other half is doing those crazy things with your friend, but you can't do this before doing the first half.

Endgame is reward for players who reached it. If you don't enjoy game now, you won't enjoy endgame

and that answers nothing that he asked for.

Honestly there is plenty of people who got the game new for christmas. I just recently bought it and am now hunter rank 14 and loving the game.

[Hare+Guu!]

Endgame starts at hr49. So whatever is before that.

I am glad you are enjoying the game!

It should be HR 16 to 29.

By then, you will have access to normal version of all the monsters.

So, you should be preparing to fight the tempered versions from HR30 onwards where the difficulty becomes less casual.

Endgame is at about HR50 to 100 when you get access to all the quests. The last 1 is at 100.

Midgame is when you unlock high rank, I think.
