VoidVictorious Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 How is the game in its current state? Would you guys recommend a partner, etc. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChibsSoA Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 It's the same as it was last year and the year before. Hasn't had any major updates in quite a long time. If you want an easier game, get rise - pretty much the same game with shorter hunts and better QOL adjustments. Yes it's better in co op. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last time I played a few months back there is still a fan base playing, I didn't see as many posted quests as I just normally join random to help while getting last crowns but even then I'll join if its a monster I have a crown for . It's definitely a game that's enjoyable solo for sure , once you get to iceborne and master rank the real game starts aha If you have someone to play with it's definitely fun but it's certainly a solo friendly game . The community was fantastic in its peak hopefully its more active than I last saw ( could have just been the time of day or whatever) 2 minutes ago, ChibsSoA said: It's the same as it was last year and the year before.

Or wait for sunbreak for a more complete game as base game is rather short content wise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M-C83 Posted March 15, 2023 Share Posted March 15, 2023 This game would be painful solo. just find randoms for hunts. The game is great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VoidVictorious Posted March 17, 2023 Author Share Posted March 17, 2023 How bad is the crown grind currently? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
No longer here Posted March 17, 2023 Share Posted March 17, 2023 For the platinum, yeah I would recommend a friend who is more experienced with the game for sure!! There are many ppl that would help with the crown grind. However you can still reach out to some friends and they can play this game with you as well. Game imo is a masterpiece (especially Iceborne) and should be played! I played the game last summer and I remember there is a good player base still there ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still sucks, but there are plenty of guides that help you snipe crowns (missions, measurements, etc.). I felt it was easier to get the required crowns in the base game, but gave up on getting the plat for Iceborne. Tempered monsters are your friend, but they become an exhausting endeavor when running it solo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DdMac679 Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 (edited) It’s subjective. If you play solely the base game and make the Defender armor set (controversial, I know), the grind lowers since you aren’t farming as many monsters for materials. Add Iceborne into the mix, I feel you could easily double that estimate as you grind for level requirement quests, the guiding lands, and gear for Tempered monsters. The RNG for crowns will still be a time sink. Edited March 18, 2023 by DdMac679 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMHO, no. If you want to jump into the series, I’d go play Rise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhantomSilencer Posted March 18, 2023 Share Posted March 18, 2023 If you're new to the series, just start with Rise. If you have friends to play World, you can start that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tips? Everyone is different. You can't do the same thing over and over. Mix it up. Tempered investigations vs regular, 1 gold 1 silver vs 2 gold 1 silver etc. When you find a type of investigation you get close with a crown size farm those. Back up your save so you don't run out.

Erkawest Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 The grind for crowns on Monster Hunter World was pure terror back when it was released, without all these new quests and events that gave some crowns basically free. I haven't returned for Iceborne & Rise because of how bad it was. Was literally having multiple dreams trying to catch these monsters only to wake up disappointed ?

Steven-Spiegel Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Years ago I startes the game and sold it, have some trophies earned, now I have the version of the PS Colllection, I can only go for the trophies of the base game? I only want to clean World, not Iceborne. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you didn't start playing the game. I recommend you don't play it, cuz farming takes a long long time to get a golden crown for all monsters.

JediKnight_327 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 (edited) I can see there is some misleading information here. As someone who got the platinum recently, please refer to my comment on another thread here from a few months ago which still applies: My recorded playtime is 127 hours according to PS home screen and MH save file. Includes time spent doing stuff not required for the platinum but does NOT include time spent measuring monsters which did not turn out to not be a gold crown. I would estimate this to be 20 hours max. The vast majority can be solo'd with ease if you've played MH before and you use a defender weapon. There are a lot more players on the weekends compared to weekdays. This is when you should try and get your crowns and use other players' help to speed through quests. People still play to get crowns and use SOS flares for help or just to let other people get the crown too. Most of my elder dragon crowns came from random players' quests. If I started an elder dragon investigation and found a gold crown, I also used SOS flare unless it was a monster I was comfortable soloing. The RNG is no more annoying now than it was before. You should get all the gold crowns before reaching rank 100. This way the elder dragon investigations you collect will be standard elder dragons as opposed to tempered ones. Using this method its a lot easier if you're going down the solo route, but of course using an SOS flare even on non-tempered monsters will often be faster.

Mode47 Posted March 22, 2023 Share Posted March 22, 2023 I'm 1200+ hours in and plat world, still working on icebourne. My own fault though as I've played through with friends multiple times and just had a jolly good ol' time in general Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VoidVictorious Posted April 18, 2023 Author Share Posted April 18, 2023 I found all of the crowns and Lunastra at roughly 180 hours for base. I think that bodes well for starting and finishing Iceborne. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForsakenTHANOS Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 (edited) I've got some trophy cleaning to do with this game! Anyone need help boosting I'm your guy. Edited May 24, 2023 by ForsakenTHANOS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
