MH Wilds Gets Permanent Arch-Tempered Monsters
Removing The FOMO Of Limited Event Quests
The Arch-tempered Rey Dau and Arch-tempered Uth Duna being made permanently available addresses a major community complaint. These effects won’t go into place immediately, however, asyou’ll still need to wait until the start of the Festival of Accord: Flamefete on July 23to permanently gain access to both hunts.
The planned updates have been met with a wave of positive reactions online.
While there is no official word yet on whether Capcom will go through with the full permanency changes, the planned updates have been met with a wave of positive reactions online. Following the trend with recent updates,future Guild Reports are likely to include additional changesto improve Monster Hunter Wilds' overallquality of life features.
Not All Of Wilds' Problems Can Be Fixed In One Update
Given the noticeable lack of end-game content so early intoMonster Hunter Wilds' lifespan, the permanent addition of the quests thatfixedWilds' difficulty problemsis a much-needed change for its longevity. While the adjustments to the limited nature of Arch-tempered hunts and other event quests are great forMonster Hunter Wilds, they only scratch the surface of the problems plaguing the game. As noted by its user reviews,the biggest ongoing challenge for Capcom comes from Wilds' lackluster PC performance, which isn’t likely to have an immediate fix anytime soon.
Regardless of the direction Monster Hunter Wilds' ends up taking with its future content schedules,reducing the reliance on making players afraid of missing out on content is a more than welcome addition. With so many live service games fighting for your attention, limited Arch-tempered quests and other temporary events feel like a misstep for the series compared to the accessibility of past entries. Although thechanges to Arch-tempered monstersaren’t likely to reviveMonster Hunter Wilds' playerbase, it’s a step in the right direction that teases even more to come in the future.
