PreachI've got three. But I'm a LBG/HBG user. I have only gotten one hero stone for those. This game rarely gives you what you want. I wish they would've implemented a trade system.
They teased the superior pseudowyvern, thank you very much.
MHW has a very different audience than previous titles in the series , no? All of the new players aren't used to this cycle. Who knows if they'll return in force.Of course we will. It's not like Monster Hunter Players need a constant games as a service model to keep us playing every week. Everyone I know who's into the series dumps hundreds of hours into the base game and does it all over again for the next one. This expansion will bring us all back in full force.
You should've known they didn't give a fuck after they released a mess of a port after the 8 month delay lol.Garbage that they treat the PC audience like this. I double dipped on the base game, but the delays in content releases on pc have been horseshit and no way I double dip on an expansion.
MHW has a very different audience overall, no? All of the new players aren't used to this cycle.
People are familiar with paid expansions, they will return, there shouldn't be a concern about that.MHW has a very different audience than previous titles in the series , no? All of the new players aren't used to this cycle. Who knows if they'll return in force.
People are familiar with expansions, yes, but this leads straight back into my original point - is an expansion coming 20-22 months after the base game going to recapture all of the new players MHW brought in?People are familiar with paid expansions, they will return, there shouldn't be a concern about that.
No, but that's an entirely unrealistic expectation to begin with as no expansion has ever been able to do that. The real question should be pointed more at the actual sequel to this game.Yes, but this leads straight back into my original point - is an expansion coming 20-22 months after the base game going to recapture all of the new players MHW brought in?
That's what Ithought as well!
Exactly. Anyone going in with the expectation that this expansion has to sell 10M copies to be successful is absolutely setting themselves up for insane disappointment. No reasonable person thinks this way.No, but that's an entirely unrealistic expectation to begin with as no expansion has ever been able to do that. The real question should be pointed more at the actual sequel to this game.
That's not what an expansion is set to do, it's mainly for people who are still engaged with the game and those who enjoyed it but stopped playing because of no new things to do, a new big expansion will easily bring those back.People are familiar with expansions, yes, but this leads straight back into my original point - is an expansion coming 20-22 months after the base game going to recapture all of the new players MHW brought in?
They might not be alone, but the game has not had any issue with player retention that I've heard about. I see no reason to be concerned about the performance of an expansion when all signs point to it being successful.Yeah it absolutely brought in a load of new players to the series. This expansion will have to be well advertised to get the more casual players attention. But I do believe the new players liked the game enough to buy a new one.
Truth be told however, I have a few friends who only got to like hr 6 before they grew tired and disinterested in the game. They bought it because all the hype surrounding Worlds release . I'm sure they aren't alone.
This is my concern too. My guess is that most who put in less than 30 hours won't be back.People are familiar with expansions, yes, but this leads straight back into my original point - is an expansion coming 20-22 months after the base game going to recapture all of the new players MHW brought in?

This is as good a place to ask as any.
How much is the MP part of the game? I want to try out the base game but unsure if its built with MP in mind or can you have fun with it solo like Dark Souls?
Totally. And don't worry, I'll convince those guys to get back into the game when this comes out :pThey might not be alone, but the game has not had any issue with player retention that I've heard about.

The designs in world are way better then anything in the old series.Was hoping that they'd show off at least one of the new monsters. The mediocre new monster design (aside from Paolumu) is half of the reason I still haven't bought World after buying every other Western release in the series.
As of now, I'm not that excited and I don't really expect that to change... well unless they add Peco. If that's boy's in I'll grab the expansion day one.
I played and beat the entire storyline and hit Hunter Rank 50 Solo. Kulve was added later and is i believe a mandatory "Raid style" boss with multiple people however.
You'll have to bake me cookies.Totally. And don't worry, I'll convince those guys to get back into the game when this comes out :p
It's perfectly fine as a solo game, as you have a lower health pool for monsters to fight against versus multiplayer. Mutliplayer really isn't needed until the endgame grind.I get that but is it enjoyable as a SP experience? Or is it like Destiny where you can play solo but its not ideal?

They'll be Nargacuga shaped
I wouldn't want them any other way.
At least we have one confirmed new skeleton in the game, so we've got that going for us.Such a long wait, I hope it's more then just one new map and a handful of new monsters. I mean it's gonna be almost 2 years of development come autumn.
Talk about high expectations!At least we have one confirmed new skeleton in the game, so we've got that going for us.

This thread is making me really glad they aren't catering to purists
It's actually just going to be a single new weapon.Such a long wait, I hope it's more then just one new map and a handful of new monsters. I mean it's gonna be almost 2 years of development come autumn.
