Rathalos EX

[SargentToughie]

there wouldn't be a lack of content if they didn't make it an ex trial. By making it ex, they cut off a lot of the playerbase, because a lot of the playerbase simply doesn't like to farm hard content. It doesn't add longevity in the same sense yokai watch and garo did.The hardcore will farm the 50 scales in 1-3 days, and then they have nothing either. The only longevity will be from any casuals who attempt it, and its mostly suffering because its not really fun. They might as well have made it the third ultimate instead for all the good it does.

Why are these complaints only being raised now?

EX trials have been like this since the re-launch of the game.

Maybe bitter that we keep losing dungeons so they scapegoat Ultimate/Eureka and now this because it seems like it is extra.

ex trials accompany other content usually, and special events tend not to have decent difficulty. It's not a case where out of two content items released in a patch, one is an ex trial. I guess I wouldn't mind as much if I wasn't more or less looking at eureka as the only long term content, whether i did the ex trial or not.

This sounds to me like the playerbase got their expectations way too high for a single trial. It was never going to be able to boey as many gameplay hours as you're quoting through Yokai and Garo. We knew that as soon as they explained exactly what the crossover was: as an instanced trial with 2 difficulty modes.

On that note: did anybody actually enjoy Yokai? At least with Rathalos we've got a novel trial with unique mechanics that we'll be able to revisit and enjoy until the servers go down. Would you have legitimately preferred FATE grinding yourself into the floor for 3 months as an event over what we have?
