Not really, it is easier than previous games but some of them will give you a run for your money. As always, harder stuff comes post game which most ppl arent even close to yet, and reviewers werent allowed to discuss endgame
Barroth alone ll give new player a run for they money and he is the second or third monster in Worlds, Wilds difficult is a joke, no Monster Hunter game has this early easy progression.

I'm not too far yet. I just did the Congalala fight. Game is definitely easiest in the series so far. I haven't prepped for any fight yet, and I'm using mostly Rank 2 weapons. Still using one of the starting armors. I think the monsters just don't do nearly anything close to the damage as equal previous monsters do.

I think my health has dropped below half one single time lol. I don't think the game needs to be super difficult or anything, but the game is objectively easier. I remember in World the first minor wall was Anjanath and he could nearly one shot you with some of his attacks. You really had to have good armor and dodge well to survive.

That's cuz the story is full of low rank stuff. Based on what I've heard and read online, the game will be harder in the end game. The story is around 15-20 hrs depending on how you prefer to play.
 
Nah barroth is pretty easy in mhw, heck most of them are until you get to anjanath, that's the point where the game wants you to prove you know what you're doing.
After that it's smooth sailing again until diablos, and then once more with barioth.

You are wrong, for the new player he isnt easy, his head ll bounce most weapons, he ll cover his body in mud to mitigate damage, he ll spill mud on the ground to slow player movement, ha has sideway attacks to cover his sides, he ll charge to counter ranged players and he ll use his tail to punish attacks from behind, he ll also flee to deep water where u can barely move, there is 0 monsters on the first hours of Wilds that are difficult as Barroth can be for new players.

All the things you mentioned are easily avoidable, and barroth himself is very slow and telegraphs all its attacks very clearly; if you take a minute just running around it to observe the behaviour, there's no reason to ever get hit by all the heavy damage moves. If you still do, well dunno 🤷

geez, i m comparing him with the initial roster of Wilds and from a new player perspective, he ll be more of challenge them Balahara, Congalala, La La Barina, Dashuguma or Chatacabra, all this monster you can fight heads on without fear of dying, again, all this from the new player perspective., for us vet Barroth is a joke.
 
Bowguns feel like crap in Wilds. No recoil reduction? No reload reduction? Meanwhile bow seems ridiculously powerful.
I guess I'll just stick with Lance and Gunlance for this game.

it is and all reviewers are saying that Wilds has dumbed down difficult.
Nah, anyone with a history of playing these can recognise it might feel easier because most of the monsters share movesets with previous monsters we killed hundreds of times. Get a bit further in the game before you jump to conclusions

Guys I’m stuck and need help.

I haven’t gotten a single ”main” (red) quest ever since I finished the quest I got @ HR50.

I’m currently HR75. Did every main ”red” quest. Did every single optional quest (HR & LR). Did every ”request” quest aka found every NPC and did what they wanted + every follow-up for said NPCs. Did a butt-load of investigations and random hunts out in the world. Even did random shit like crafting a full set of T8 gear and captured the majority of endemics.

No main quest since 50 HR. Some people ”datamined” that there were quests every 10 HR from 50 to 100 but I don’t get them…

Bowguns have been heavily streamlined. All Normal, Pierce, Spread shots are infinite. You just craft guns or use mods to increase shot level. All HBGs I've tried seem to have no deviation either. Wyvernblast is neat I guess and I feel like it outright could replace Cluster rounds.

Yoshichan Yoshichan Probably will be added as Title Updates over the year lol

On the subject of bowguns, specifically lbg, is the rapid fire only active when you activate it manually? I just got the congalala that says I have lvl 2 rapid fire but it seems to only be active when I engage it manually and it only lasts for a limited amount of time before it has to be recharged. Is this correct?

Something very interesting has been found, apparently there is error in the code on pc

Resolution is misspelled, some people have reported better performance after fixing it, I dont know if its true yet, I dont have time to play today but maybe try the fix for yourself and see if anything improves

Killed that Spider thing, it was oddly anticlimactic.
I think it landed about 2 hits on me if that, while it pirouetted around doing very little.
The big Chicken thing with the flaming tail was far more entertaining.

She does come to the hunt because without permission from the guild you can’t hunt monster, I actually tried hunt one of the new monster on desert but she said I don’t have permission to hunt that monster.
You can still hunt and carve the monster regardless of "guild permission". You cannot create a "survey quest" by engaging with the monster until you have completed the main quest that includes that monster.

Geez. Wanted to pick up a copy of this game today now that I finally have a few days off, but with the closure of my nearest gamestop, I'm having a hell of a time. Amazon has REALLY sucked for getting new games lately. Not even a choice for same day or tomorrow for it. Best Buy doesn't have it at my local store. Looks like Walmart might have it, but ugh, I hate going into those stores. Might do delivery just to avoid it.

It works the same way as older games, you can still kill it even as she's shouting at you that you don't have authorization, but you didn't get any quest rewards just the carved parts

She needs to shut up after the first time she tells you that you aren't authorized because that's fucking annoying

Only a few hours in to get to rank 3. Really not getting hooked yet. Rise I got sucked into right away and I think a lot of that had to do with the esthetics and the music. Love the song that’s sang.

This game is cool but I’m hoping something soon feels fresh for the formula otherwise it feels too much of a retread for my taste.

So mucho bla bla bla that makes World story feels great, so much "GenZish", i miss the adults :(

Edit: also remember when you needed to cut tails or break horns in order to have a chance to get It ? Just killed Ray Dau with bow and got two tails XD, hopefully Capcom makes decoration grind this easy too.

yikes, will pick this up on a super sale/gamepass
 
Why is my game automatically using my lucky vouchers, it's a total waste

Edit: or wait, is the promot just asking me to use it? It's extremely vague and unhelpful

Edit 2: nope it actually used it, what the hell

Why are the menu systems in this so freaking ridiculous? I just want to play the damn game with my wife! Link party, environment link party, squads... holy fuck Capcom overthink things much? Join friend > play. Easy. WTF. I guess we gotta keep pushing the story forward to eventually be able to link up with each other in the same map? I dont remember it being this infuriating in MH World but maybe it was?

Jesus Christ Anjarakan fight is a mess, i can barely see the monster in his last location, what poor choice of environment, he almost blended with the background a dozen of times, what is Capcom doing with this MH ? LaLa Barina was the same awful fight
