Yes, I see that Mina has been in gathering areas, sitting around, for a while now. I have no idea who this person is. How did they regress so badly from Rise where you got to do one-on-one quests with each support hunter and get to know them a little bit so it was fun to actually play favorites?

I'm playing MHGU for the first time, skipped all of 4th gen because the original 3DS was way too small and my hands cramped while playing it. I don't think the game is that much harder. I haven't carted once and even killed the Mizu during a Bulldrome quest, but maybe that's because the various style things are busted. Valor style seems just as busted as Offset spam, to be honest.

What it has done is remind me of probably the most egregious thing in Wilds: No fun quest descriptions. It's fucking criminal they copy/pasted all the quest descriptions. Also, I really did miss having to craft things like pickaxes, nets, and bait. It really does make the feel nicer.

Really hope Wilds' expansion isn't dogshit. They'll have to do a lot to fix things. It's possible, but I doubt they will.
