Plus keep in mind they reworked how the armor ability mods work for this release. I’m not sure we’ve seen absolutely everything skill related so it may be a little more convenient to juggle unless you are going for super bleeding edge min/max.

I need to go back and rewatch some of the new armor system breakdowns.

Some skills have certain thresholds that will give you a larger boost or an extra skill (like + affinity). It is definitely way more forgiving than it used to be. We just don't know about the skill changes and how different they are in comparison to previous MH games and we don't know the max about of skills we will be able to get or if talismans will give us any skill points. I think this new system promotes more min/maxing but also is more forgiving, fun for everyone.

This video just breaks down all the skills:



This video is a little bit older but breaks down the skills from the beta and each level of the skills:



Also here is a video about PS4 Pro performance.



Lastly here is a sightseeing video, mainly to promote GaijinHunter because he is an old school MH player who deserves loving and he has a decade or more of MH knowledge. Not that Arekkz doesn't have great content, but I gotta support the veterans too. (the microphone is a little buggy)

No doubt the time limit will be increased, I've just heard that you should be able to enter a 50 minute monster mission, beat the monster in X minutes, and then stay there as long as you want which is not like any previous MH games. Plus there is a free roam mode, I just haven't seen that confirmed for multiplayer which would be weird but not unheard from Capcom. Not sure if there will be gathering missions like in previous titles, but those would also be a way to collect resources together.
Hmm in the beta it was opposite. Could do whatever until you killed the quest monster then you had the 1min or 20 secs or whatever it was until the mission ended.

The way the beta was structured has very little similarity to the quest structure of the main game. It was a server load test first and foremost and a sneak preview of two of the maps and the combat improvements. What they are saying above is correct.

PC will have a fine community, there is an enormous niche for a game like this of this quality on PC. There will always be someone to play monster hunter with, maybe not FOH forum light weights. But this game will get G-Rank difficulty and that will bring people in again. Plus, a wait for a good PC port is worth it. People will spend hundreds of hours in this game.

I agree with Dandain. People are very dedicated to the franchise and a lot of people will double-dip (myself included). Hell, I'm buying a PS4 Pro just to play this game, just like I bought a Wii just to play Tri.

Pretty much. GTA V was a great example of this, and the online community exploded as soon as it hit the PC playerbase.

Wasn't it for all PS4 players last time? All I did was go to the store and download the beta.

Ah nice guess I'll check it out since I didn't last time because I don't have PSN. Wonder if they were unhappy with the previous stress test numbers or if they just want to test more load.

I believe someone had said it was an older build too so maybe we'll get something more updated.

Yeah not gonna buy it though, I only really play jrpgs and stuff with my PS4, I don't ever play online games or even use the console that much, so it's a waste of money for me. I'm not planning on playing MHW on PS4 either, waiting for PC version, just figured I'd check it out for this open beta thing.
