Turns out the only thing releasing early is my inability to shut up and fact-check
My bad, carry on

I think the easy mode comes from being able to retreat with iframes on your mount whenever you feel like it
The review I watched said that the mount can also go on auto pilot while you heal and sharpen weapons
Unless they patch that away at some point the mechanics of the game make it intrinsically easier than any of the others

To be fair in the old world you can just exit the zone which monster won’t able to follow you, so you can peacefully sharpen your weapon and heal up.

lol I never even realized this. granted I haven't played the games much, Worlds being the most recent.
I could just insta leave a fight at any time with zero penalty?
I guess the downside would be having to run all the way back to the monster? but with fast travel that isn't even that bad

Zones were typically somewhat small (think like an arena moreso than a zone most of the time), so you could run to the edge, zone into the next area, heal/sharpen, then zone back in and continue. The only long runs were if the monster happened to leave the zone or the rare case where you're fighting far away from a zone line. There was no seamless overworld at that time.

I know I had an option to abandon quest or something, but this is different?
I'm still confused as to how the mechanic works. if I'm in the middle of fighting a monster, I can insta teleport somewhere safe to sharpen?

Yes totally different. Old MonHun had sectioned off zones that you would cross a boundary and the game would go to a loading screen and load the next new area. Here's a sample map. Each one of those dotted lines indicates a load screen and a new zone.
So you could do your fighting, go to any of the endpoints and it would load you into a new zone. The monster could follow you there by random happenings sometimes, but for the most part you load in to a peaceful sunny day where you could do whatever you want unimpeded, then move back to the zone where you were previously fighting and continue. This is pre-MH World.

The 3DS games were all like this with the separate zones, yes.
World/Rise/Wilds are seamless open world, meaning you don't have loading screens and the players/monsters just go from one area to the next. If I'm being honest, I felt like it kinda worked better in World opposed to Wilds. In the Wilds beta I kept accidentally fighting monsters in tiny corridors and connecting tunnels instead of the bigger open areas that I would prefer to fight in. In World, they used to make the monsters run to the open areas even if you started fighting them in tunnels. I think that was a better system. Maybe it's not like that in the main game, guess we'll see.

Steam is showing the pre-load being up, but I supremely hate steam's decryption method so I'll just download it when it goes live.

Sounds like a bug. Wouldnt surprise me if it gets fixed.

others in this thread seemed to confirm its by design
FWIW I played both open betas and it was there
some of the reviews say it is intentional as well

Agree with this. I've stopped preloading games at all from Steam because the download is faster than the decrypt every time I've tried it.

Yeah I've heard that too, which I guess the solution is just self restricting using the mount for the free iframes? It seems like such an easy thing for them to reasonably balance though, like either make it a cooldown like the mantles in World, or don't allow calling the mount when the monster is enraged (which is probably the more logical solution).
I guess I'll just find out in a couple days how "easy" the game is.

This game going to be easy for most people who come off from Iceborne/Sunbreak.
The fact is coming from fight like this..
Back to LR and HR is not going to give same type of thrill difficulty you expect.

Yeah that's what I'm worried about, I've been playing Iceborne like crazy so it's probably not gonna feel as tough as it would have if I haven't played in years. Again not that I even care that much so long as it's fun, and I am pretty confident it will be.This game going to be easy for most people who come off from Iceborne/Sunbreak.

Speaking of - Anybody want to get a lobby going after you figure out your main/sub weapons? Since this game is supposedly piss easy anyways, I think it'd be fun to play with other GAFfers.
Supposedly it's full cross-play, so nobody's left out. I'm not sure how you invite people cross-platform, but I'm sure it's not too bad to figure out.

Too bad the hammer is one of the weapons that doesn't get too much new stuff.

It does get offset counter, LS is the one that doesn’t get most them because you can’t block and has no offset counter but in honesty LS doesn’t need it since it already enough counters on its own.

I was talking about new attack moves, you only have like one new one.
I'm not much of a counter\parry guy so i'm barely gonna use the offset move, i wanted some new cool shit like the bow getting tracer darts or the gunlance getting a lot of new moves.
Hammer in the beta felt way too familiar.

but I do like the mobility move it has using sling to move around while still charging.

Yeah that one is probably the coolest addiction.
I'm curious to try my other main, the lance, after they said they completely changed it after the beta.

Play World.
I skipped World cause was expecting Wilds to be big upgrade. Not sure what Capcom pulled off here.
World is in pretty good shape now, is cheap, will look good and perform great.

Or is it just one of Phil's balls in my throat?
Multiple reviews have cited this being much more easier than previous MH games.
Seems like a deliberate move on Capcom's part to make it easier for a more wider audience to get into.

Hopefully one can make builds in this without reading guides online.
In MHRise, it’s impossible to make out what any decoration does by reading in game description.
……
There is a lot they can do to increase main stream appeal instead of making it too easy.

In worlds I ran bow and my wife ran dual blades, hopefully those are both still in cause we liked em. Trying not to look over too many previews/media to avoid spoilers. Is there a weapons guide anywhere that doesn't spoil anything in the game?

It'll be pretty funny if the actual story in this game will be way better than in DD"2".
Going to play it on PC.
Think i will play World.

It’s launching everywhere at the same time, so presumably, no.
Also: why does EVERYONE forget about Raider Rides in World?
Seems like everyone is having a big bitch fit about seikrets being able to auto pilot while you heal, sharpen, etc. That’s LITERALLY how raider rides worked in World. Why is this some huge new game killing feature to everyone NOW? People really got rose colored glasses regarding World.

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
tbf you couldn't summon or use them in combat... monster had to flee before you could get back on. i don't consider the seikrets a problem though. i'm pretty sure i recall us getting bodied by a monster follow-up when i called one during a recovery and iirc you cannot call while dazed / stunned.

Have they? The biggest complaints I'm hearing is that auto-piloting to the monster is ez baby mode, and being able to call your mount mid combat and sharpen/heal etc while moving makes the game so easy. You can do absolutely all of these in World. So what are the stark differences? I must have missed it. The only difference I'm aware of is that you can actually pilot your Seikret, where Raider Rides could not be player controlled directly.

Don't worry, after enough "fan demand" it will be a $15 DLC next year please look forward to it
