Fun!
If I may make a suggestion it would be nice if the privacy tiles when placed on the beach (like not underwater) would turn into some sort of coastal grass. It looks quite odd having seaweed on land in order to keep your creatures happy

This is one of the best looking species packs yet if not THE best! Each species looks completely unlike the others (unlike aquatics who had several who looked similar) and they're really creative and fun with clear shape language and would be identifiable by silhouette which just shows the designer was doing their job amazingly. Aaa this makes me so happy and is (ironically) a breath of fresh air!

I can't believe the guy who looks like Minecraft Steve is the greatest and most heartwarming character in the game haha

it's really fun and I like collecting all the animals

I LOVE orbital rings they are so great I just wish there was an ascension perk to do with them. Also this update is great for pacifists it means the game isn't over immediately if you have super aggressive people near you

I LOVE reanimators they are so fun if you have the leviathans dlc you can bring them back to life and it's really neat

Menacing cruisers are fun with a matter decompressor but I must advise against becoming the crisis in a huge galaxy with max fallen empires and lots of ai because dear god is it like playing whack-a-mole

Really streamlined and fast compared to older monster hunters.

Can take some time to figure out and get it to work with your Switch Pro Controller but once you do you're golden.

It's so beautiful and looks so good especially when I compare it to the 3ds monster hunters I grew up with haha

I miss the more complicated hunting horn songs though which does make me sad.

Palamutes have some really cute and clever armour designs I just wish that every monster got a palamute armour design like palicos did. Palamutes are fantastic and I hope they return. I wish prowler mode returned though, I really miss that and prowler mode with palamutes would be a blast.

Overall really fun to play with friends. I finished the game on Switch but got it on PC to play with my girlfriend and the defender stuff makes it way faster to go through stuff I've already done which would otherwise be boring so I can finish offline stuff faster making sure I have stuff for when I'm playing online.

The gold botting and so many bots everywhere is insane it's gotten worse and worse

PLEASE FIX BANDA'S CUTSCENE + MOST OF THE WEAPONS IN THE MECHANICAL AREA FOR PHOTOSENSITIVITY MODE IT GAVE ME A MIGRAINE I HAD TO LOOK AWAY BUT IT CAUGHT ME BY SURPRISE THE DR MARI'S CUTSCENES ALSO HURT

- The most disgusting chat I have ever seen with the N word constantly, slurs, homophobia, transphobia, sexism, ableism it's the whole package. Legitimately the worst community I've ever been in and I'm a League of Legends player so that's shocking

- the game would be so much better if there was no work energy and you could just gather whenever like in Runescape

- the queues are atrocious and so bad you have to plan in advance if you want to play. God forbid your game crashes while playing with a friend EDIT: They are a lot better now but you can still be waiting for like an hour during peak times

- no South East Asian or Oceania server so if you live in Australia you will never see ping below 220 ms

- gender locked classes which is a real shame because I would love to play sharpshooter with a bird but agh playing a guy really takes me out of it

- you don't get enough exp from fighting stuff it's a real shame sometimes I just wanna fight stuff and don't want to do quests

- game calls me he despite playing a girl like with Valtan's cutscenes

- everything in the shop is atrociously expensive and the prices are hard to figure out because there's different currency that gets converted into other sorts and it's made so that the minimum purchase is like $15 and you cannot buy the pets with converting that into gems and instead need to buy even more just for one pet which is just ????

- everytime you want to do things like forage you have to dismount which is really annoying I wish it was like being a druid in travel form like WoW

- the walk animations for women and the outfits are terrible legitimately just lingerie with high heels

- if you are a shadowhunter or any other form class the game has dungeon fights with bosses and it's a gamble whether or not there will be a cutscene that will reset your demon form meaning you wasted it and are in the same fight in another stage without it oh you saved it? no cutscene so you wasted your main source of dps and made the fight harder for yourself

+ character customisation with hair and tattoos are fantastic I love that so much! I wish there were more options for body type though I love buff ladies

+ the gameplay is fantastic! Might take a while for you to find a class you like but when you do *chef kiss*

+ I love the hidden seeds and vistas you have to find! It's really fun and makes you appreciate the landscape

+ - there's a photosensitivity mode which is HUGE I cannot play some games because of the flashing and that's so lovely and I'm so grateful but it does not take into account some things like Banda's cutscene really really hurt my head same with the cutscenes in mechanical areas

+ I love gathering stuff and exploring and the adventurer's tome and rapport is fantastic there's so much to do

+ sailing around is so much fun

I love this game a lot but it has a lot of issues that need to be fixed before I can recommend it in the current state. The chat especially is AWFUL in Valtan which is the designated OCE server please get moderators

VR CHAT IS ABLEIST
Great so now they are adding EAC which is not going to help with the crashing but just means that disabled people can't play the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game. Cool and normal! /s Seriously who thought this was a good idea. You don't implement any accessibility stuff so people have to do it themselves then you're going to stop those disabled gamers who have made friends and fond memories with the games from playing anymore.
