Hunter's Handbook

πŸ“– Relevant Posts Only
Keep it related to Monster Hunter. Plain and simple. If it's questionable, be ready to back it up.

πŸ“– Respect Your Fellow Hunters
Greenhorns or oldhats, we all start somewhere in the series. Everyone is welcome.

No racism, bigotry, flaming, trolling, or any other behavior unbecoming of a guild hunter. We're here to play and discuss Monster Hunter with like-minded folks, act like it.

No "game shaming": This isn't a place for title vs title arguments. Take that to steam forums or elsewhere. Compare/contrast mechanics between games, discuss what worked or didn't and how. Devolving into flame wars of "MHX sucks, gib more MHY" will not be tolerated.

No "off-meta" shaming: having fun playing the game is the meta. Discuss strats, builds, and give suggestions, but that's all they are, suggestions.

πŸ“– Original Art Only
No AI art: too easy to spam, too low effort.

Attribute original artists with links, watermarks, and mentions where available. If you don't know the source, say so.

If an internet sleuth finds a poster cribbing others' art as their own, that's a bannable offense.

Moment to moment play is good. Capcom clearly got involved to make the combat this robust for a tap-only mobile game.

I really hate the timer. It feels extremely antithetical to the MH spirit. And before you out-gear mons it causes high-risk gameplay. So of course it was by design since potions cost money.

The spawn rates for nodes being 3 hours is the most brain dead thing i can possibly imagine. You can't play this at a park for hours on end just spinning stops like in POGO. I can't see how that decision does anything but discourage long term play from what otherwise could have been.

The randomness of the biomes and their shifting is also a barrier to long term play.

As is, I'm currently only playing GPS spoofing as it seems the only effective use of playtime. If that catches me a ban, I'll go back to the real thing.

I hope Capcom sees what could be and makes something better out of it.

Yeah, but the pool of monsters is much smaller. Even with variations, there aren't nearly as many monsters as there are PokΓ©mon.

maybe they'll add new monsters with each new updates like they did with MHR? at least i hope they do

Pink Rathian already out there, so at least they're doing variations.

Black diablos was part of the diablos event. I still haven't seen a Pink lady yet, but saw a few Black blos. Doesn't feel like a point to the "week-long" aspect of this event. Assuming only the weekend spawns will be good.
