MH Wilds Collab Thread - Opinions/Feedback

[tuypo1]

It maybe didn't feel as Monhun as Rath did but it was still an alright enough fight, and I never fought a arkveld to compare the fights like I have a rath. haven't tried the extreme so can't comment on that, maybe on the weekend.

But the issue I have run into twice now is that when you are left with just 2 tanks left and everybody else on the floor it's way too easy for them to both stay alive and make everybody wait around not playing the game, I think maybe 1 tank would die but I'm not totally certain on that either

I've done the extreme now, I don't have a massive frame of reference for extremes and especially newer ones but it was nice, maybe it could have been slightly more forgiving in giving you time to get people up for the Limit cut
shockingly the hardest part for me proved to be reading where the cleave was coming down on the half arena spread

fun fight, but as others say, it was nothing unique, just your average trial. why even include the potions in normal, if you are never gonna use them

If you remove the MH skin from the mob, it's just another trial.
The fight itself doesn't really do anything different from what we've had in the game for years. Even the attacks seem to be on a fixed pattern, where as Rathalos felt random in its attacks.

The fight itself is ok, maybe a step up from some, but it really just gets drowned in a sea of similar feeling trials.

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.

But wouldn't said no to Guardian Arkveld armour or mount as well.

My guess is that the Arkveld armour had too many moving parts and bits dangling from it, and we all know how XIV does physics...it doesn't.

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.

[Raim]

Great rewards, but the fight was pretty generic.

[Valence]

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.
