You Might Want to Change These Settings in Monster Hunter Wilds

[@kookieslayer]

Auto sheathing 100% should be off by default... I found it SO annoying when I started playing World until I found it was an option.

[@KiremeShadow]

It's an option oh my fucking god I can't tell you the amount of times I messed up due to auto sheathing when trying to Element Discharge on SWAX for wakeup

[@taciturne4432]

why tf would you want to stay with you weapon unsheathed while there is no monster nearby ?

[@KiremeShadow]

@taciturne4432 It's about developing bad bad habits. I play a lot of older monster hunter. You need to learn to do this manually. Also if you haven't realized this you just haven't tried it or don't use it, but sometimes having that weapon put back is an inconvenience. Say you got a Monster to sleep. You have great sword. Sleep has a times two damage multiplier. Obviously you wanna TCS it for maximum damage. You finally get into position and whoops you sheathed. Now you have to unsheathe get back into position because you take a step forward and oh look. The monster woke up. I hate Auto Sheathe. I sheathe myself anyways and I don't when I don't want to

[@taciturne4432]

@@KiremeShadow I never got a problem tcsing a monster sleeping with auto sheath idk what you on about

[@KiremeShadow]

@taciturne4432 And congrats you are comfortable with it, can you tell me you could comfortably do it when you first started MH? It's still a bad habit. There's nothing wrong with not like Auto-Sheathe just as much as there is a reason to like it. I'm not a GS main, so I could guesstimate but I'll be the first to tell you I suck. I'm but I am more of a SWAX main. So the more time I'm wasting in sword mode the more gauge I lose and then I have to punch another monster or settle for a wild* swing axe finisher. (Yes I get Heavy Slam finisher is more optimal, but for me it lacks consistency, genuinely difficult to pull off, and only works when you are doing a damage oriented build. The first build I made in Rise was an Exhaust build. So Elemental Discharge wins in that build). That alone outweighs every good thing to auto sheathe in my eyes. And sure I'm comfortable now, but not perfect. So I'd rather just minimize down time and do the micromanagement myself.

[@elalexsantos3150]

3:43 I could feel your rage towards type 1 controls lmao i love it

[@Cloudy573]

One setting I personally appreciated being able to change: "Directional Button and Button Configurations" to type 2. That makes it so you can cycle through the item bar (and bowgun ammo, I assume) with the d-pad without needing to hold L1. In exchange, you need to hold L1 to use the Seikret commands like mounting and switching weapons.

[@_DEV1L]

Good call, I was having this issue just out of sheer habit of having the directional button cycle through the item bar and realized how annoying it was when I was accidentally calling the Seikret during a hunt.

[@ZaneG-xs4ty]

Wait seriously? I’ll have to change that setting, I can’t tell you how often I was calling my seikret by mistake and having to quick dismount

[@slowCPU]

I wouldn't recommend this for most players. It makes it much harder to move while you're navigating the item bar.

2:27 Blood is deffinitely less intense than in older games, but still noticeable. Thing is, you only see blood when you hit a wound. If you hit any other part, you see rocks and dust like in World.

So lame, wish they kept it like it was in older games

[@Drizzt573]

@@crimsoncrown2326 Yeah, loved it in older games. The OG blood was great.

[@partydeer1640]

I think that's fine tbh. It makes sense that unless we're hitting/creating a wound, we aren't actually drawing blood from the monster. Plus I think old school MH or Bloodborne-levels of blood splatter would look a bit strange in Wilds. At least there is blood in Wilds instead of every monster being made of concrete like in World

[@ZGamingGuy]

There's also an option to hold down circle to summon your bird dog. Not game changing or anything, but I found it quite convenient

[@48Salt]

for newer player I suggest making your health bar shown as large. Health bar freaks out when youre in the range of the One Shot move of the monster.

[@lagsense2945]

Where is the clutch and the hand break on the seikret? I need to learn how to drift this thing.

[@Celegrim1]

I was planning on diving into these menus after the full release, but I am glad to see that the Focus Camera can be turned off. I've never had any problems with controlling the camera myself in the past games and I was really finding it be frustrating that I kept fighting the camera a bunch in the beta.

im so glad ive made a habit of always thoroughly scanning the options menu of any games i start, some options i think are just completely baffling for making them enabled by default. the auto sheathing for example, who on earth LIKES having their control taken away from them like that unexpectedly??

[@white_okami3154]

Thank you so much for pointing out the camera zoom , it drove me kinda mad

[@EACru2002]

Funny how after World’s release, nearly every content creator releases videos saying, “Change these settings,” to pretty universally agreed upon settings. Then after years of dev time, with Capcom having to be aware that nearly every content creator recommends changing certain settings… they release Wilds with the same default settings as World.

[@rurikhan]

The audience of content creators is often a small niche of the people that play the game. That niche may agree these settings are better, but doesn’t make it a majority.

[@rainbowkrampus]

Auto-sheathe and the break neck camera remain baffling to me. Breaking player control like that outside of very specific contexts is generally frowned upon. The auto running seikret is a new head scratcher. I haven't seen anyone leave it on once they find out they can turn it off. Are there really that many people running around who like their character auto running into a wall or aimlessly moving around on their own while trying to decide where to go or what to do?

I always use Yellow silhouette. So under Obscured Hunter Visibility, choose Type 3. I think yellow stand out the most and is easy to see when being behind monster. Also you can change cat language back to cat. So your buddy is back to World MEOW instead of talking all the time.

The fact that videos like this are necessary says something about some of the weird design decisions Capcom make. I have heard so many people complain about the Seikret just running forwards on it own, and being turned off from the mounting system because of that. Auto-Explore on Seikret really shouldn't be on by default. And the fact that there are a million options in the menu will bounce a lot of people off it I fear.

I always change to radial type 2 (3 in this case). Let's you use the face buttons, instead of the d-pad to switch radial menus. That way I can run and radial at the same time without changing your grip. Also Felyne voice. No offense to the voice actors.

[@justsomejojo]

I hope to god motion sensor controls make it to PC. Right now, I'm planning on upgrading my PC rather than getting a PS5, but that may change depending on this feature. In Rise, this basically saved the game for me because quick and precise camera controls with the right thumb are barely possible for me. I can do it, but the faster and precise a game becomes, the more it becomes an issue. It's basically an accessibility feature to me at this point and I hope it stays in on PC. Rise's PC port did NOT, if I recall and it immediately made me drop any thoughts of getting it there.

[@fishstick3835]

been playing around with the beta today, and gyro (motion control) is available on pc! Controller only seems to work with steam input enabled, and gyro only works with an empty gyro mode shift set up, as far as i can tell (the mode shift was set by default for my DS4 and just worked out of the box, had to set the mode shift manually for my switch controller). However, I'm noticing a fairly large amount of gyro drift in this game, on both of my controllers, not sure why that is

[@vonsbros5541]

Great video! Two general questions on Wilds: 1. Do you think that Monster Hunter Language will be implemented into the final version of the game? 2. When I played Bow in World, with every dodge and every shot the controller began to vibrate which created a bigger impact from the weapon itself. Is it possible to create this by changing some settings? Or maybe this will be adjusted into the final version as well as Controller Vibration is enabled in the settings, but is not working. Thank you!

[@ForTheBoobies]

Not really answering your question but more commenting on player preference. It really amazes me how player has a “perfect settings” for every video game. Like you’re asking to put the vibration back in, meanwhile that would drive me absolutely insane if it vibrated every single time I dodged lmao

Only in PC did the game run at or above 60 and even then it only runs stable on high-end hardware at the time (remember World PC release is 2018, 6 years ago.

their are more seikret options that caused me a bit of grief and for some reason once i fixed my seikret settings i turned on auto-explore and even when i press up on the d-pad to mount it in auto-move mode it doesnt auto-explore. i also found that some people were mixing up settings. the controls to speed up can make it seem like its out of your control and auto-moving even when you learn to mount in manual mode by pressing down on the d-pad because it runs similarly to auto-move. r2 needs to be pressed to stop and r1 is to speed up. holding it is top speed and you can drift too. but when you change some of the settings it can seem like its still doing all the auto nonsense but really its similar to RDR2's horse controls rather than using the analog stick for both directional movement AND speed. the difference from rdr2 is that it doesnt slow down eventually iirc, i have to check again because its hard to remember the specifics. please correct me if im wrong and check for yourselves if something doesnt line up. i think they need to explain the seikret much better. i see lots of people who were confused like me at first. idk if they tell you that down is manual mode but i saw it in the capcom official manual. it takes some doing to get it how you like it depending on preference. i also set it so when i mount it in manual mode when i hold circle but you have to be sheathed. the d-pad controls allow you to mount withoutn sheathing iirc. i want others to enjoy this too so i hope the seikret stuff doesnt cause too much grief and people figure it all out. and maybe some options are default because they refer to player data form the past and see what is used the most. seikret is moot but i mean people talking about auto-sheather. even though any player worth their salt has it off.
