MH Wilds Am I the only one?

Post image

I'm no MH expert by any means, but I can't be the only one who doesn't get all these reviews saying the game isn't challenging? I lost count the amount of times I died to Arkveld in the beta.

Was that HR version Arkveld? If so, that's pretty worrying because a lot of people were clearing him fairly easily and fast with starter gear

The real challenge in the Arkveld fight was just the time limit

Every monster in beta was low rank. Spoiler for game progression:If I remember the leaks correct, Arkveld one of or the last fight in low rank. The story basically spreads across the whole low rank, and in HR there are story additions like TU in Worldborne when reaching specific HR

That's the problem everyone is talking about. No real challenge till the dlc drops in a year

Event Quests and Title Updates exist

Which is really dumb. Buying a game to only have real challenge behind another paywall in a year or so. I love MH but a little bit of challenge in the base game would be welcomed, at least we get endgame with base Wilds this time.

They've already said they have more challenging monsters coming in an update in 1 month

It was the same way with world. Walls like anjanath and nerg were only hard if you’re new to the genre. The real difficulty came in title updates and the expansion.

Thats one thing i loved about Iceborne.
Sure, a lot of the monsters only released on Title Updates, but you still had the Guiding Lands and a whole set of monsters to discover after Shara Ishvalda before even the first title update dropped.
Title updates should expand the endgame, not BE the endgame

I know it is HR since the carvable items have + on it
