A lot of nothing? AT kulve has more new weapons than every monster combined post release. Just because you dont do Kulve or find it stupid doesnt mean theres no content.

The fact its "harder" to get thess iridescent items is good because I see no reason the hardest quests shouldn't have the best rewards. Should good loot come from something you can do right away solo, like the Wyvern Ignition issue that broke GS?

I don't see a problem with rare loot whatsoever from playing MMOs my whole life.

AT Kulve has 7 new weapons for each weapon type, 7x14, all top tier, and you think thats bad?

AT Nerg will be here in February, Appreciation Festival in January, AT Kulve with the biggest loot table in 9 days, and a full expansion in august equivalent to the size of their previous G rank or Ultimates, so 10 to 15 new monsters plus new attacka for all old ones.

I am super happy and super hyped.

Adding new weapons to Kulve isn't content though? Like I don't consider adding gear content. Kulve itself is the content, the gear is the reward for clearing the content. They're adding new rewards sure, but that's hardly new content. And KT loot system is terrible.

And good loot came from stuff you can solo for everything else. Lunastra weapons are better than some KT weapons, and that can be done solo. It doesn't mean you just go in and smash some trash mobs and get the weapon in 5mins like rocket GS, you still need to RNG gems, but you know that once you get a gem, you can craft the weapon you want. You want the lance, you get the lance, you want the HBG, you get the HBG. Then you farm it more, to get more gems, to get more of the weapons. You still get the weapons you want in a reasonable amount of time, it's not instant and it's still RNG, but you get to pick your weapons. That's how literally everything else in the game works.

Not sure how it's not obvious how KT and normal weapons are different and how KT is way worse. You can run it 200times and still never get the weapon you want. You'll get every other weapon maybe, but not the one you want. Or maybe it is literally like the rocket GS and you run it once and the weapon you want drops. Shit doesn't even require you to know the fight or anything either, you can drop in a session that's in progress, find a pursuit 4 group with an open spot, kinda wiggle your weapons in KT's general direction, she dies super easily because pursuit levels are dumb and now you got your BiS. Don't need to farm other materials or even learn the fight really.

I do expect the AT version to pose more of a challenge hopefully, and maybe force people to get pursuit 6 or whatever, but the loot system is still dumb.


And I meant lots of nothing until the expansion, after AT Nergi. Which is most likely going to be 4-6months before the expansion. They said spring for Nergi(which is already a few months after AT KT), and autumn for the expansion. Not sure where you got august for the expansion, august isn't autumn. I'd expect november or so.

At Kulve has new attacks, new moveset, new mechanic, and new rewards.

Nope no content.

I didn't say AT KT wasn't new content, I said the weapons weren't content. As for no new content at all, I didn't say that either, you said that I did which isn't really the same thing, I said after this wave of content, there's nothing until the expansion which is pretty far away, in autumn. Which btw, starts in late september, august is summer, so not sure how that one will work out.

They have a few pieces of content for early next year, and then nothing for probably 5-6months, which is a pretty long time.

And the systems you compare to KT loot are way different. KT has forced grouping, KT takes like 15mins for a few chances to roll for the loot, KT is boring as shit to play and isn't the main loop of the game, MHW isn't Diablo(or even further, Divinity).

The best thing it compares to is a greater rift loot in Diablo 3. 15mins of gameplay then a little bit of loot at the end. However D3 guarantees many legendaries at the end(rather than give you a large amount of blues, rares and a couple of legendaries, at least at high GR) as well as gem progression(so you always get something useful) and the drops are tailored to your class, you don't get Paladin weapons when farming on your DH. On top of that, all that loot is also accessible via normal rifts, which have better more efficient droprates, and can be chanced with blood shards.

D2 isn't really even in the same ballpark, since you can trade for the items you need and the runs are faster. And again in both cases, you're playing the actual game, and getting rewarded random shit. KT feels very "off" compared to the main MHW loop, the whole meta system of pursuit and other group progress, the whole damage only counts if you break things, so it only counts on the head in the "kill" run, no investigations, no invasions, only one area which plays out always the same.
