What's interesting to note is that Deviljho was on the leaked list (which has accurately predicted all reveals so far including the new little lava froggy guy in this trailer, Dodogama). That means that list likely includes the first rounds of planned free content, meaning the initial roster is going to be comparatively light (we've seen nearly the entirety of it at this point). Assuming that list is indeed comprehensive of course. I'm not too torn up about it, since even a relatively small MH game is still a multi-hundred hour behemoth, but I am definitely glad they are planning to release new monsters. Hopefully they are pretty aggressive about it, I'd love to see a monster a month.

New quest, too. Nergigante hunt.

Supposedly it's a harder version of the hunt as well. Only 15 minutes, and it sounds like it's the high rank or G rank version of it? Gaijin Hunters video said it was going to be a 'more difficult' version than the first one you fight in the retail game.

Maybe they want to encourage people into MP to test the lobby system so they put a quest in too tough to solo with the included gear.

Is the demo not balanced for single / multi player like the main game then?

It is, that post doesn't makes sense. Maybe people just aren't on there game yet, but multi hunts taking me longer then solo.

I just meant, I imagine most folks played the first two betas solo only. I would have liked to do a 4-man against Diablos but it's tough to communicate that when the quest you queued for is a different monster.

So in this beta they put in a big challenge monster as its own quest to encourage people to queue as groups and go fight it. I'm sure it will be soloable, but it'll be easier to go group up against a big monster when you don't have to luck into a group willing to do it.

when i played the beta I went to an area of the map it said the monster and my teammates were and no one was there, the map also said like +748 to the direction, is that meaning they're way high above me? I tried going up and couldn't see any places to get higher than that so I quit to lobby and went solo instead

+/- some number means the monster is high or lower in elevation relative to where you are. If something was ~750 above you that's basically the entire level though

I'm new myself. Last game I actually played was the original.

Don't worry about being bad, most goons are going to be patient with newcomers. I'm pretty sure most veterans are just really excited over the sheer fact that their game is getting some love.

There's another open beta on the 19th-22nd that doesn't require a subscription, if you're on Playstation.
I'm sure you'll like it but it won't hurt to give it a spin.

For me personally it's a no-brainer, the beta gameplay is just ridiculously good. For years I played the 3DS games and just wishing for it to be given the triple-A treatment it deserves.

Yeah, it's neat. I hope there's quite a bit of that; obviously we'll see a bit of it with Nergigante, but I want to see some others get involved too.

Spoiler concerning the leaked list as well as the above:
Given that Alatreon was in the leaked list of monsters that seems to be mostly-confirmed at this point, I wonder if they'll finally have it show up outside of its bespoke arena. After the above, I want to see Alatreon loving up its fellow Elder Dragons. It'd fit both its lore and the stuff they're doing this game.

The beta not being on Xbox at all is some serious bullshit. It’s kind of killing my vibe on the game that they give so little of poo poo. How many weeks behind will Xbox patches be if this is how they’re starting things out?

There isn't even an Xbox version in Asia, which may have something to do with it. It sells mere triple digits every month.
There's also a strong push with Sony, who has funded a lot of the marketing - today's stream was very PS-centric with Playstation controllers, keyboards, headphones shown off.

Perhaps Jho ate the xbox beta. Who knows?

The lack of a Xbox demo is probably because the beta is more or less the same playable build they've been letting people play at trade shows. Previous MH demos on the 3DS and whatnot have been the same deal. They'd just let you pick a weapon and a choice of a bunch of quest. The one I remember most was... MH4? I think. Each weapon had a different set of armor with a matching weapon. It sucks for Xbox but that's most likely the reason behind it. This isn't to say that they aren't playing favorites but it's not a move solely out of spite.

What an outlandish idea. Just because previous demos has been a trade show demos and this beta is the same as the trade show demo doesn't mean we're just playing a trade show demo on the platform picked as the best bet for a trade show demo in Japan. The more obvious answer is that it's clearly a case of Sony paying Capcom a lot of money to ensure the xbone and PC demos were never released.

Also the fact that making another demo for Xbox would cost time and money, and Capcom likely doubted it would bring in that many more sales. They can't just beep boop a button and turn the PS4 demo into an Xbox one.
