RE: Is Monster Hunter World THAT great?
I just opened my 3DS to double check to make sure my facts are right.
In MH4U they have the Wycoon/Wyporium where you can spend your points to acquire items by multiplying the items you want. (up to 3 carts/slots)
Here's a screenshot found online.
Now in Monster Hunter Online. (chinese game, i had to do like a 20 step thing just to play it)
There was an entrance to your 'room' on the edge of town where you can have your palicos, armor, storage box, and farm area to harvest things. The problem is you cant harvest infinitely in here. its limited per day (MHO was a chinese game that had micro transactions)
This is the closest image i could find on google.
But I do understand where you're coming from, I had to go to the same map and quitting it over and over until i found the item i wanted. Shove that into the Wyporium and multiply it to get enough materials for what i wanted.
But the key i think is that if you get 1 of the item you want you can produce it indefinitely even if it takes you doing a few missions to get it.
I have the game ill let you know how i think about the farming system. if it's worse or not for sure.
Is really frustrating. Just wish they could make the farm like old gen.
Thanks, I appreciate the comments, and please, let me know how is it in MHW. I hope is not as bad as the Ultimate saga.
Alright so I spent about 2-3 hours playing last night.
I've been soloing the story getting my HR up just hit 6 last night.
So far i have no idea where items are - i.e. honey, bugs, ores. I know they're in the same exact spot everytime but the map is pretty damn massive in MHW. I also think the map that you carry with you shows where they are, but it's really small and requires you to zoom in to get a good view.(i'm way too lazy for that)
There's also the fact that there are multiple levels in MHW so there's a butt load of areas to explore. Which is awesome. but when you're looking for materials it might be a hassle unless you know exactly where to go.
Some of the bounties i've picked up so far are
these usually take a few missions for me to clear especially honey and bugs.
reward : 40 ~ 60 caravan/research points and 1 armor sphere
plants and mining ones are usually the fastest, bones are fast too if you remember where to find them.
lastly the farming system is just like MH4U, I picked honey shoved it at the researcher. and he gets me 2 honey for every mission i complete.
It takes time to memorize the places, but at least is on the same place! Which is great because one won't have to spend too much time looking for it, once you know where it is. And honestly that was the only concern i had about the game, gathering materials.
Thank you so much for helping me, I appreciate it a lot :D
If you want to play together (i'll get it for the Xbox One) i'll be more than happy to help you :)
So i played for a few more hours today, I'll let you know my findings before i go to bed.
In MHW the map shows where all the gathering spots are and you can set a waypoint so theirs a trail leading you straight to it. ( pretty convenient)
Second, the gathering spots will regenerate after a while compared to older games where you can only farm it once and have to end the mission to start a new one. I needed 8 specific ores today for upgrading my hammer and making a palico armor set for my cat.
I found on the map there was 2 mining spots in 1 area, the passage to the next area has 1 more then 3 more spots in the next area. total of 6 mining locations that i just kept making circles around the map to farm. It took me 2 laps to get all the ores i needed.
So far the farming isnt bad yet. but granted i'm still low HR. I just got to HR8 tonight. I got another mission that if i clear it i'll unlock more of the researcher for more materials to multiply. I'll probably do that tomorrow and tell you the result.
Sorry man i have the game on PS4, i was gathering the materials to make the Zero Dawn Horizon Event armor for the palico. I'll take a screenshot and post it tomorrow.
Thank you for taking your time and letting me know about this. I really appreciate it :)
No worries! :)
