There should be a counter or something to count how many hunter activation have you done, even Jamie almost miss this on 1:04:40

[@MMalke]

Im using a dice on top of the time deck.

[@jsoninja3004]

Consider maybe gathering points or small monsters on maps. Maybe ability to even craft a potion if gather herb and honey on the map like in the videogame.

[@psinjo]

i really like this idea, it reminds me of certain parts of kingdom:death monster, but not quite as rng heavy but there were a few things i noticed / had questions on 1. I like the 'choose your own adventure' style of the gathering phase, but feels like it would get tedious after a handful of hunts. I know a 'spend a bunch of time to start the fight now' option was mentioned, but maybe an inbetween where you get a handful of random resources instead of going between the same actions over and over again? (reference to k:DM random events) 2. I really liked the different activations (window to attack) from the different monster cards, but (assuming the game will support up to 4 players) that means at least 1 person doesn't get to do anything each round, and with more hunter tokens in play, it feels more like "i have to attack this turn" instead of being more strategic (i'm in the best position to attack) 3. Going alongside this, it feels like stamina will get very frustrating if the fight goes on for a while and you don't faint (it looks like you can play 2-3 cards per turn, but only git rid of 1). Maybe an extra rule where, if you perform no action during a turn, you get to regain a bit more stamina? or another action (like sharpening) where you can regain stamina in lieu of attacking? 4. i think it is really cool how the dynamic of elements/status has been implemented here, and the 'sharpen' action being how you reshuffle the damage deck 5. is there any options for armor /gear that modifies the player's attack or damage decks? or are they 100% pre built? some customization would feel really cool to making your own play style 6. I love how you can chose which location on the monster to attack based on which side/arc you're facing, though it seemed quite a shame how the one break you got didn't seem to help in any way. maybe some bonus damage (reduced armor) for hitting a location that's already broken? That would have been a great help for you guys barely scraping through the fight when it was low, so the hunters have to choose between going for another break, and just finishing the monster 7. I know they are called 'track' tokens, but i initially heard "trap" tokens, and that made me wonder, are you planning some method of capturing the monsters? 8. It felt quite strange for the monster to... basically 'dribble' it's target around the arena before attacking. I know that it is meant to show how often the monsters move around, but in the board game, it just felt silly chasing one target back and forth a bit. Is this a regular thing, or only certain attacks that do it? 9. if this armor was meant to help fight rathalos, why did it not have any fire resistance? lol 10. We never actually got to see the 'evade' or 'dodge' action happen, so it's a bit unclear how it works, but it feels like it has a very steep cost, considering Monster Hunter is generally a game heavily focused on dodging, maybe some other penalty, such as draw fewer cards for your next hand? or reduced cost to dodge if the monster has to move to get to the target? (-1 to dodge per space the monster has to move to reach you) Maybe this would be too complicated, but if the action has such a steep cost, it hardly feels like there's even a reason to have it otherwise. 11. what happens when the time runs out? I don't believe it was mentioned, is that just another failure state?

[@SheepOfChaos]

Some stuff that I picked up from the explanation and Kickstarter Page: 3. There seem to be actions that you can use to regain stamina, Chynna-Blue used it to remove 2 stamina. 5. That seems to be the case in the full game where you use the materials to craft your weapon and armor 9. Resistences are the elemental thresholds he mentions. So a high resistence would mean you need to apply the elemental effect multiple times to get the bonus. In this game the Rathalos had a rather low lightning resistance of 2, so every 2 lightning effects, it received "lightning" damage (damage where no armor applies). Didn't notice any mentioning of fire damage in this hunt used on Rathalos though, might have missed that. 10. For dodge: you place down the required number of cards onto your stamina board. Each monster attack mentions how much dodge is needed. This cost doesn't seem too steep considering that not all players get to act after a monsters attack anyway. So preferably you seem to take turns between who gets to "tank" the monster attack and who does the active actions. 11. Mentioned at 3:47: Game Over. This is just like the video game where you have 50 minutes to finish a hunt, else the hunt is over.

[@Aaron-mj9ie]

That's what I kept thinking. It's like a slightly more forgiving Kingdom Death.

[@Hydros92]

"the armour we expect you to have" so for the end of the campaign, you expect players to have only made the jagras armour and not the anjanath armour? You know, the one with fire resist? When hunting 'The Fire Wyvern'?

[@yarikar]

I think they mention right at the beginning that this is the assign quest one, so the first one you encounter. Perhaps it's indeed unusual to have farmed up the entire Anjanath armor on this point? Other wise, agreed. You'd probably use something with fire resistance when hunting Rathalos more "regulary", haha

[@Steamforged]

Hi Hydros92, Jamie Perkins here. Rafael is right. At the end of your campaign, when you feel ready to try to win, you'll face the highest difficulty Rathalos. At this point, we'd definitely expect you to have crafted some stronger, fire resistant armour from either Anjanath or Rathalos itself.

Didn't you just miss the third hunter activation after Rathalos' fire breath attack? At 30:55 you activate the monster for the third time, but each of the hunters only had one turn after the previous monster activation, but he was supposed to "pause" for three hunters activations

[@jonatan2969]

Of course the obvious comparison is going to be with Primal: The Awakening which was on kickstarter a bit earlier this year. While i think the characters and abilities in Monster Hunter World seem very interesting and while the stamina board seems like a cool mechanic im more concerned about the monsters. With the previews of Jagras, Tobi-Kadachi, Anjanath and Rathalos i have not so far been sold on the idea that they are vastly different fights. It mostly seems like each is a beefier monster than the last with more health, more damage and another elemental effect. But by having the symbology on the AI cards you limit the design space to only include things like Move X, hit X on target or AOE. So i might be wrong, but i would need to see more variety in the fights to be jumping in. As a comparison in primal you have a drake that blocks players from playing cards as they are fighting fire. You have a barroth like dinosaur which you have to get to charge rocks so it gets stunned, you have a crablike monster that delays movement by making the area flooded and which forces you to have to attack it from behind. Just as examples

[@RevoltzRetrogaming]

I Totally agree with you. This is the 7 video that i see in order to make up my mind to back it or not in direct comparison to primal. Sometimes i think both designers should mush toguether those two games to make one big epic one with the ideas combined.

[@D3xterJettster]

[@The8bitSammich]

Looking fantastic! I'm really going to look at the all in pledge. This looks like everything I enjoyed about DS without the problems. Only one complaint... Why are the boss behavior cards mini while the damage decks are full size? A full size card for a single number that one player needs to see... and a mini card for the complex iconography of the boss cards that all players need to reference? Seems a bit backward.

[@Steamforged]

Hi The8bitSammich. Jamie Perkins here. Good question! The monster behaviour cards don't feature text and have a set symbol configuration, so the amount of information doesn't increase. On the other hand, the hunter attack cards vary in the amount of information presented and can feature both text and symbols, so we opted to allow more space for this.

[@The8bitSammich]

@@Steamforged Gotcha. Really, it should work fine. I do think the boss cards are nice and clean. Easy to tell what each symbol means, even if I wish they were the larger size. For the hunters, I was referring to the damage deck, not the attack deck. Attack cards have a lot going on, but do damage cards ever have anything on them except a number? Not that I want them to be smaller. It's nice that they match the attack deck.

[@Steamforged]

@@The8bitSammich Ah, so you were! Damage cards do only feature a number, but they're bigger because of how often they're shuffled. You'll usually only need to shuffle a monster's behaviour deck once or twice per playthrough, whereas damage cards are shuffled more often. In our experience, shuffling bigger cards is a bit easier. - Jamie Perkins

Hi Leonardo. Jamie Perkins here. Well spotted! You're correct. We were both 4 nodes from the monster. In a situation like this, when two (or more) hunters are the same distance from the monster, the target is whichever of those hunters has the highest threat level. Threat level is shown on the hunter's token (the token we were flipping to show we'd taken a turn). As it turns out, I had the highest threat level at 8, so the monster would have targeted me anyway.

So basically, they reskined their darksouls board game as monster hunter, added minor improvements, some tweaks to fit the setting, a campaign element , a choose your own adventure system, and parts breaking........ I'm hands down getting everything, the all in version. This is exactly what I had hoped for. Gonna be the jewel in my board game collection. Steamforged really kicks ass. Fuck yes. Only thing I'm worried about is the packaging. I had to return several mega bosses from dark souls because they broke in shipping. Items should be packaged to prevent movement during transit, (inside the actual product box), and it wasnt optimal. Most of these monsters are mega boss size, and they are so beautiful I'd hate for breaking. So hopefully they make that simple adjustment. I'm sure if they can design a master peice like this, they'll fix that minor issue. Only actual criticism (which isnt that valid since it could be a game balance issue.) Is you dont sharpen after carting. In world you did and knowing the difficulty of theirgames, players could probably use that help.,

Before the first reshuffle the player takes out a certain number of high value damage cards, simulating the use of power coatings and whatnot. Or maybe high power coating doesn't go back in to the hunter deck. Just some spitballing.

should be 3 according to the cards. They also should get 3 more track token because of the roll on the adventure mode.

Hi, Jamie Perkins here. Thanks for your questions!

[@Steamforged]

1) At 20:53, the Rathalos moved three nodes. The monster turning to face its target doesn’t count as a movement. 2) Before and after each node of movement, the monster will turn to face its target. So, it will always be facing its target when it finishes moving. As you can see in the video, when a monster turns to face its target, it ‘spins on the spot’, which doesn’t count as a node of movement.

3) In situations like this, where it’s not immediately clear which way the monster should face, it’s up to the players to make a call. The rulebook says: “Before and after each node of movement, including when the monster’s movement symbol is numbered 0, the monster rotates to face its target. If this would cause the monster to not directly face an adjacent node, the monster instead faces the closest adjacent node to its target." During play, I determined that the closest adjacent node to facing the bow hunter was the node chosen. 4) If you’d prefer to count break tokens using dice, that’s definitely something you can do.

@@Steamforged sorry. At 20:30: The dragon moves 2 spaces toward Jamie , turn and then he moves 2 space away from Jamie. In my opinion: 4 move steps. Doesn’t it?

Fall damage in Monster Hunter? Uhhh? Losing more weapon sharpness while in water? Bow users needing to sharpen weapon? Blunt weapons can't slay monsters? What's going on here?

[@chrismeneses8713]

the only thing I'm sad about is that they haven't said if they are going to translate to Spanish, I would like to play it with friends but in my native toungue. it's not funny to play a game like this and always being translating everything instead of enjoying :(

[@theULTIMATETetris]

He's talking so fast. I can barely understand what he's saying.

The movement mechanics are as clunky as Dark Souls the board game. I hope you guys write a better rulebook

[@jamieperkins1888]

Hey there, the monster movement mechanics were initially based on Dark Souls, but have since been iterated on and further developed to far better fit the Monster Hunter World experience.

[@TheShadesOfBlack]

Why in Gods name would you Reimplement the Dark Souls board game? Horizon Zero Dawn wasn't a great game, but it would've been a LEAGUES better starting point than going back to the Dark Souls game.

[@dav1dgear]

Because dark souls is actually a good game and people just don't understand how it works? Like how they hate fallout the board game.

[@yoshizaki2863]

I really love dark souls board game

[@The8bitSammich]

The boss fight mechanic of Dark Souls fits better with the Monster Hunter theme in my opinion. I agree that HZD is way better than DS, but the machine behaviors are too unpredictable and their facing doesn't matter at all. I didn't find anything wrong with the dark souls boss fights either. The issue was the 3 hour grind to get to the boss fight. That's flat out skipped here. I'm also thrilled with the pick-your-path intro.

[@TheShadesOfBlack]

@@dav1dgear I’ve own the DS board game. I know how to play it. It’s just bad.

[@TheShadesOfBlack]

@@yoshizaki2863 I value your opinion. However, I think there are many games that do what Dark Souls does but about 4 hours shorter.

[@gig3929]

i love mh BUT WTF !!!! THIS GAME IS SO BORING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@junevue9665]

Im planning to get it and use my mh build figures and make my own rules

[@Slyfox1775]

I’m happy I watched this now I know it’s a pass . I would much rather play KD . Also watching the designer hair blocking his eyes and constantly moving it out of his eyes was driving me nuts !

[@konohaki]

we congratulate the choice not to translate the game. disgusted

[@marinoderienzo3176]

revenge for gundam games!
