MH Wilds Collab Thread - Opinions/Feedback

[MetaBoi]

It feels... lacking the best way I can put it. It was a decent fight but felt more like a trial without cast bars instead of a Monster Hunter collab fight. You're more focused on what Guardian Arkveld does which is nice but when what it does is same as other bosses it doesn't feel unique from them. Haven't done EX yet so won't comment on that. Rewards are nice. Hope armour dyes decently so probably will see usage in some leather based glams. But wouldn't said no to Guardian Arkveld armour or mount as well.
7/10 for fight 9/10 for rewards as one commenter also said.

The normal fight was whatever. Compared to Omega in Monhun, it was to total disapointment. Even without comparing, it's not really good for a collab fight. Just a normal FF trial, as other here said. EX is the same thing, it just got ~3 more mechs. Still does not feel very MH-y.

Aside from the fight, what even is up with the lore? We don't get any new crumbs of lore unlike Wilds with Planetes . It's just a Felyne talking about the Forbidden Lands. Feels like G.Arkveld was not even the focus of those cutscenes. It's even confusing. It's supposed to take place at the same time as the Omega collab, so this means, after the main scenario quest. I don't get how we even got "an" G.Arkveld. There is only one in Wilds, and it got slain by the Hunter. It was able to reproduce and lay eggs, but its offspring was Arkveld, not another G.Arkveld. Unless I missed something, it's pretty unclear
Why did the G.Akrveld flew away? It's supposed to be a relentless monster attacking everything on sight. I don't buy the "The WoL's aura was so strong it has to flew away to prepare". It just does not care, at this point in the story, its supposed to have fallen into madness.

I find this collab very infuriating. It was just "look, it's Wilds! You know, the game with... G.Arkveld! And Felyne! And Seikret! And BBQ!" unlike Wilds that gave us new lore info, and made sense, without it just being "It's a FF collab".

If anything I hope they take the potion system and put it into the PF settings as an optional little buff item players can enable when learning future EX's and Savage fights.
Shouldn't reward the player for using the option, but it'd be a great tool to let people in on the fun of raiding without making them feel bad for when they eventually screw up.

Great rewards, but the fight was pretty generic.

I was confused when people were saying Rathalos was a bad fight.

It's a bad fight because it locks healers from 99% of their job kits for most of the fight.

Stop with the collabs already and start putting actual creativity into the world of XIV please. Or whatever is left of it.

10/10 collab. I unlocked the trial, disconnected and cannot reopen the game because of a huge DDoS going on for steam and many other services.

Fairly basic fight, even on extreme (as far as I've gotten so far). They just use the same mechanics from other FFXIV fights like Limit Cuts, Zeromus Eventide, etc. It's your typical, dodge cleave, stand in tower, do LC, etc.

Aside from the fact that I actually dashed not once but twice into the wall of death on the first try, I have enjoyed the fight with my friends.

The Normal version is fine, I wish it wasn't another dragon but something else instead, the rewards are actually nice. The BLM weapon had me rolling, and the glam overall is nice :>

The fight was so boring.

Rathalos was better.
