Its a cap so people dont grind to the max yet, the game is for casuals, not speedrunnners that want max everything 1 month in

[@Blahblahblaafmn]

@@Rodoadrenalina Except demonstrably very few people stick around and play a single game for months or years (let alone mobile games like this, CoC is an anomaly). Casuals by definition rarely stick to a game for long, and if they do it's in short blasts that are never enough to get them to "endgame"...so if this is "for casuals", then it's pretty contradictory. Or, you know, the more obvious answer that anyone with a brain could figure out: it encourages you to spend cash. Almost as if that were the entire goal.

[@Megaman8880]

I stopped playing mobile games back around 2016. I sat down one day and added up the $ I was putting into a game I played around that time, and over the span of around 18 months I'd spent over 1,500$ on some random game I'd just play at random times when I didn't have anything going on. It blew my mind. These days I only use my phone for communication and music/videos while I'm working. My best friend was into the same game I was, and he continued playing it for like an additional 2 years. I added up how much $ he would've needed to spend in order to reach some milestone he was proud of at the time and it ended up being something like 4,000$. This was one of those idle games that would play itself and you didn't have to do anything more than collect some daily rewards and click a few buttons every 24 hours. Once I pointed out to him how much money he'd put into this bs game, he reluctantly uninstalled it. The sunk cost fallacy was so strong for him that he didn't fully even want to stop playing it. These games are a huge problem.

Im rc84 with 2358 monsters killed.. You are telling me that i have to kill 3000 monsters 8+ to upgrade just ONE WEAPON.... Jaja funny In my experience drop ratios are okey because the items you need to upgrade weapons are balanced in rarity with drops. The problem is when you need an specific material like rarity 4, 5 or 6 and you dont get, when that happen blocks you to upgrade a weapon... but when you get that material you have the mats to upgrade the weapon a lot of levels, so i think monster hunter now must have: ⚠ 🔽 🔽 ⚠ - 2/3 more material slot per hunt. 🐘 - 2 more daily quests and improve: 📑 · Q1 1000 zenis - 3 slots for rarity 2 resources - 2 per slot 🍀🐞🏔 · Q2 1000 zenis - 2 refined armor + 4 rarity 3 resource (1 slot) 🍀🐞🏔 · Q3 1000 zenis - 2 refined weapon + 2 rarity 3 monster material (MM) - 1 rarity 4 MM 🐘🦏🦒 · Q4 500 zenis - 2 slots for rarity 3 resource - 2/3 per slot 🍀🐞🏔 · Q5 500 zenis - 1 monster and 1/2 MM of that monster to choose from (rarity to choose from too) - (This unlock the block i mentioned before) 🐘🦏🦒 - Ability to choose the minimum number of stars at which monsters appear, at least the ability to reduce them. ⭐⭐⭐ · Example: You cannot hunt an 8-star legiana, in this case you will be able reduce the stars of that legiana to 7. - From the 6th star onwards, the number of zenis per monster is greater (Like he talks in video) 💰 I think this changes makes the game not frustrating and solve the problems this game have.

[@yifanyu7784]

Another problem is for some monster such as Rathalo, it only appears in the forest, which makes it much rare than others. And you need its material for your weapon, mail and greaves, some even need head or coil. Different rareility monster request same amount of materials for update is unfair. Also the damage and the attack opportunity difference between range and melee are also crazy. I could kill 7 stars Legiana with 5.4 Rathalo bow, even I got hit twice and died once, but I still have about 50% of chance couldn't kill a 6 stars Legiana with 6.5 Anjanath SnS due to run out of time. THIS ASSHOLE COULD STARTS FLYING WHEN ABOUT 60S LEFT BUT NEVER LAND, only about half of the SnS attack are on its head, the rest are either miss or on its foot. Once he dash melee weapon have to roll about 2-3 times, while range weapon just keeps attacking on weakness. FUCKING LEGIANA!

[@ClitIsWhatWeAimFor]

That's a fair point about monsters found in only one terrain. It reduces its spawn rate at best to ⅓ compared to the earlier monsters found in all terrains. I found myself going through the same experience with the flying monsters too. It's the bane of SNS that has been in most MH games. The wirebug system in Rise really helped out for that but alas, MHN is carted from MHW engine. I've been tempted to build a fire, ice and dragon bow set (the later requiring pink rath mats) to hunt the flying types specifically. At which point I may as well main in Bow! 🙄 Not sure how players use it so we'll when walking around in the rain.

[@zacziggarot]

I've had a bunch of hunts where the monster spends the last 40 seconds just running from me 😑 then my signal is spotty so my hunter starts moving like he's in molasses. If the monster runs there's literally nothing I can do about it. It faces away from me and does a charge attack, so I chase, then when I finally catch up it does ANOTHER charge attack aimed away from me. These arenas aren't exactly the kind of place you can chase a monster in

My issue with this game is it never feels like you are doing enough damage to monsters even with their effective weapon.

[@Zanza1122]

when you start building actual elemental sets, like have your fire weapon with some armor that gives fire boost, save that as your set, do the same with other sets/elements, and you should start dishing out more dmg. elements are rly strong in this game, even on slow weapons like great swords, which isnt the case in the main series game. but i am at a point where i was able to upgrade my great jagras greatsword so much higher than everything else , i think almost rarity 8, while everything else still sits at rarity 5, that im better off always just using that.

[@galaxyknight2869]

Just to save everyone a google, converting Euros to USD would mean that in Europe you'd be paying about $880.00. Of course daily quests vomit mountains of zenny anyways though. Personally have yet to spend a dime on Zenny and find those calculations to be...no offense, but a little useless. The biggest issue I've had, having made it to 7 star thus far, is the item box expansion and monster rewards. I've all but ignored the zenny cost completely thus far and only spent money on paintballs other than that. Quests, especially events, give plenty of money. The exponential curve for the numbers to upgrade gear definitely needs to be lessened noticeably. Though honestly, forgetting EVERYTHING, I want one change. Higher drop rates. I'm not going to hunt down a 7 star after hours of only finding 6 and below star monsters only to get all rare 1 hide. Drop rates need improving. The screen for drop rates can extend a lot, just make it like actual hunts where you get proper lines of materials, and just make the percentage for each drop rarity chance go by star level. Zenny is irrelevant otherwise and drops are definitely the biggest problem, especially for solo play. The monsters drop absolute gutter trash and I haven't even seen more than 4 plates getting all the way to 7 star. I have never seen a single gem as well (Fanged Wyvern Gems and plates for a lot of monsters.)

of course it's a cash grab based on the need for another monster hunter game. They will support it for at least 1 year after the next MH game i out and then stop it probably

[@Kipplz]

This game is simply raking in cash from the riches in the fan base, for future development. The real fans know how pointless of a grind is, in MHN, when you have the fun mainline games like MH4U and MHW.

[@Eazy_Bruh]

This game sucks because you can’t farm enough to get anything. Yo have to play like a year for one armor set…. And that’s like high rank… not even the rare sets

[@hmmdoh7835]

rather buy the real MHW

[@dinhdotdev]

Addiction is expensive. Don't try to max out everything, especially on mobile games. You have to accept that 99% of mobile games are grindy, and there're literally no end games on mobile games. Once you max out on everything, they will drop an expansion with new overpowered monsters and you'll have to grind all over again. Don't fall for that crap. Play casually, go for a walk and take down few monster along your way and close the game when you run out of potions. That's how I enjoy the game so far at 6 stars. And I have been fighting 6 stars monsters for weeks.

[@dalerowe7329]

I've been at rarity 8 weapons for a while and I have the same sentiment. I see no point in trying to get to G10L5 as fast as possible because I have fun hunting things and trying out different armor and weapon combos

[@nicolaischulz5105]

I think that's not the correct approach, in that stage of the game the developers don't want you to get max weapons and armour. I think 10* will be the maximum for the years to come and marketing wise they couldn't promote a new and faster feature in the future if everyone allready has everything maxed out. They need to have these high limits, if they not wanna rebalance the game all the time with higher weapon grades. It's been the same with pokemon go and level 50, everyone complained at the beginning but at least you'll still have a goal to work towards, even after playing for several months. Without these goals everyone would just stop playing, after they got their weapons and armour maxed out.

[@brunozapelini2447]

i just feel like G10 weapons are something for the future, but they somehow already added it, even though the game has so little content to justify it. Also, they really need to up their game if they want to make it fresh and keep the players in. RN it has potential, but shitty events with monster subspecies won't be enough to keep the players, and the monetization system sucks. They're not fixing any problems of the game, and new ones keep appearing somehow.

[@skydreamsans5356]

The thing is you dont need to be at Grade 10 so fast. I'm just enjoying the Gameplay right now casually playing the game. Its a Slow Progress, but the Game is meant to be played for years.

[@Cloudwatcher-yp1di]

To some degree I feel like it makes a difference how quickly you want to run out of things to do in the game. I'll be curious to see what "next season" is like in MHN but, for now, I'm okay with appreciating long term goals and rewards.

[@JacobSReeds]

I am in the process of upgrading all of my elemental weapons from grade 6 to 7.5 right now. I've cracked into 7 with most of them, but seeing this makes my heart sink tier 8+. I'm loving the game and loving walking around with my daughter and wife as we beat up monsters together but I don't see how we can keep pushing through with these requirements. At some point the wall is going to be just too high. Honestly, if they made the amount of Zenny you got worth it, I'd be more willing to buy it. Why is about $20 worth of gems only giving 10K zenny? That's just 3 days of daily quests. If they add a 0, I would consider it. But that's freaking pathetic.

[@ClitIsWhatWeAimFor]

If the three of you are hunting together, you're apparently in the sweet spot for monster HP. I've found G8 (4th play through of the story) a good spot to take your time and get the zenny you need from casually hunting 6 and 7 star monsters. Then keeping an eye out for the easier 8 star monsters (Jagras, Kulu, Puki, Barroth, Girros and to some extent Tobi) with the appropriate elemental weapons. IF you are thinking of buying gems: use them to double the wyvern shards. Additionally, if you can push through G8 story to G9 (not there yet myself), the lowest level monsters you'll likely find are 6 star which is the sweet spot for efficient zenny farming. The other thought I had is that only one of the three of you needs to grind up to G9 as you would act as the host for the other two. Anyways, glad to hear you all have something to play along together

[@timwu15]

I don't mind the grind. This game is not meant to be beaten, I use it as a way to go outside so the longer it takes the more days I'll take walks.

I'm not after min maxed gear, but even as a casual player I have to admit that literally just grade 4 absolutely killed all momentum of progress

[@christophertherians2243]

The only solution I see to the zenny problem is raising the daily rewards each time you finish the story.

[@Deathwish026]

this solution loses them money so they wont. dont forget this is not a game its an income generator.

[@zacziggarot]

​@@Deathwish026I don't see how that's the case when I haven't spent any money on it and don't even feel inclined to spend money on it 🤔 Like who TF cares about upgrading to max level unless you're already up close to max level? I don't know if I'm ever going to get my hammer to max level I just need a COUPLE more levels to take out monsters more comfortably. I get enough Zenny and I get enough mats from hunts. I just need bones from desert fossil zones, you can't get those with gems.

An online store doesn't automatically make it to where they're going to make money, look at fallout 76 or that avengers game square enix shat out.

[@halenlozano5240]

The problem is they took away from the user the ability to craft everything which is one of the things that MH players are used to on other MH games...you can't even craft a paintball...

Im stuck at grade 7 rn, and the lack up money became a huge problem. I've started making new weapon types just to keep myself invested lol

[@annadelna]

I'm handicapped, so I have a hard time moving around, but was still having fun at first playing the game, but then I quickly realized just how much moving and plain farming you have to do to get ANYTHING done, and I just lost interest about two weeks into the game. Really sad, but that's just how it goes sometimes.

[@janvogelaar7078]

I've been playing for 5 months now, logging in a couple of times a day, while walking the dog. I spent 0 cash on the game, just enjoying it. I now have multiple grade 7 weapons and armor pieces and also have 600k zenny left. I think the game is fine as it is and it is not at all hard to raise the resources. It's the grinding for specific monster parts that thematically is the challenge. The video maker is hugely missing the mark IMO

[@gerardomoreno3022]

Same for me. I have not spend a single penny in this game and i have G9 weapons, can kill everything pretty easy and don't see any reason to use money. In the contrary, using money would going to make the game faster and by the end i will not have any reason to play it Only people with fomo problems are the ones that use a lot of money.

[@KUNANUK]

Come on TDS, I absolutely love your videos, but this one is a little too misleading imo, especially for new players / players that haven’t even tried the game. 1) No one needs to pay cash for zennies, as the need for zennies balance out with need for monster materials. 2) Weapon refining parts (WRP) from the daily quests mean that all gear upgrades are meant to be time gated. 3) On top of the time gate with WRP, Wyvern gem shard (WGS) is a legit gate for even the most hardcore players. 4) Apart from the weapon upgrades, no one really upgrades armor past 6*, cause we’re all just aiming for the armor skills, not the DEF stats. Combining the points from above, I think we can all come to the conclusion that no average player is supposed to even aim for 10* weapons at this stage of the game, but this video made it sound like it’s a p2w game for whales, when in reality its not, as everything is very much time gated. Now you guys are absolutey right with the need for change with different aspects of the game: 1) We should be able to craft potions with different materials, cause we all know that this is the main source of the their income (Not from the zennies) 2) Drop rates should be increased, or a change to the drop system should be made (And with this along with increased zennies per monster, as the balance between zennies / mats should stay in place) 3) Lures or a feature with similar effect would be nice 4) We should DEFINITELY be able to sell the mats we don’t need for zennies (LIKE EVERY MH GAME, THIS IS MH TRADITION) 5) I personally feel like they could add monsters at a faster rate, since there’s no reason for them to stick with just MHW monsters, unless that was the deal signed between Capcom & Niantic (I don’t know much about this) 6) I personally do not suffer from this, as I live in the city, but I know many players living in more rural or suburban areas have less access to material nodes, which I think should definitely be adjusted / fixed. 7) Friend / Team / Co-op system overhaul. Conclusion: I can’t say that I love or hate the game, but imo it actually came out better than I previously expected, even with all the issues that shoud be fixed / adjusted. I’ve played almost all MH games (including the ones on mobile, which were all jokes and very very much p2w from release to end), and tbh MHN has been the best adaptation of MH on mobile so far. I would honestly recommend fellow MH fans to just play casually and see how the game progresses with every update, but of course only if you mentally strong enough to tap nonstop on your phone in public 😅

[@Jwalko4]

I agree that Niantic needs to chill and increase rewards/ drop rates, and you make very valid arguments. To play devils advocate though, I didn’t download this type of game to be maxed out in one month. The goal is to provide content and updates that continue to make the game entertaining for years.

[@LPPhoenixRed]

and there lies the problem... with such gameplay that isnt rewarding and feels way too grindy, how do you get entertainment out of it? if you compare it to any main series game, there are so many other ways to get around some of the grind and earn the stuff you need. need a tail, cut it and you probably get it. in now... totally random drop, doesnt matter if you break the head, cut the tail, it just gives you one more drop. in my honest opinion, niantic took the wrong franchise/game to mobilize it... the playerbase is kinda spoiled with the real games and how devs changed stuff, refined it and listened to their playerbase. and when you see niantic and the way they doing things, there is no way they are changing things. i played pokemon go for over 7 years and let me tell you, its rare we players get a win there

[@Jwalko4]

Yep. I hope Niantic pays attention to feedback this time. I honestly don’t even mind the rng drops from breaking parts but something needs to happen to drop rates for the game to succeed.

[@razorsharp5643]

Don't forget that future weapons and armours will powercreep the old ones. Even if you got to Grade 10 in two months, it'd be no problem because that gear will be outclassed anyways. And if they weren't outclassed, then you'd have a problem of having no new content and the grind would feel meaningless.

[@maninblack3410]

Y’all niantic defenders are so weird. Do you play regular monster hunter games and say “man if only it took me longer to upgrade this weapon I’d keep playing this game,” or do you say “wow I’m having so much fun with this game I’m thinking of maxing out an entire separate build for a different weapon set?” Seriously, if the game was as fun as mainline monster hunters nobody would complain about the grind. The grind is built in. The problem is niantic is not a company of game devs, they’re a company of predators with geolocation tech that won the lottery with Pokémon go.

[@justthere845]

​@@maninblack3410exactly. If it took so long to make a set in the main games as it did like in mhnow then I probably would've stopped playing the series because I love making a bunch of weapons for all the weapon types. Heck I even spent 600 hours in mh4u judt staying in high rank and making a page and a half full of weapons. In G rank imma be doubling or tripling some of my weapons to hone them for life. Attack and defence. I can't even get anywhere close to doing that in mhnow. The grind in mhnow is just not fun.

[@peterreturn1816]

I only hunt the monsters for fun. Already gave up on the grind. The item is full of the mats and no bones insects and stuff. Since I don't go out of my way to get to certain biom, doing the quest entirely depends on luck. It took about 2 weeks to meet 2 Diablos

[@austin1648]

is not that bad, I mean this MH Series is a marathon game (not a sprint one that u can get R9 weap/armor just 4-5 hunts) remember the G9 G10 is something u earned, not something u just got

[@MrJonnyTapas]

This! Everyone who's working on a G6 weapon has been able to easily spot the fact that the item drops and Zenny feels insufficient. (Putting it lightly.) But this! Way to spell it out for us and assign monetary and time sink values to the actual grind. We can grind this game every day for over a year and still not complete 1 build?
