Wilds should have had Dragon's Dogma's exploration and a large central hub mixed with MH gameplay and Dos seasons.
>warm season
>read quest board
>quest to hunt a Rathalos that has been bothering trade caravans
>travel out of the city with my guild crew through the countryside to get to the nest at the top of a mountain
>big fight ensues
>carve up the parts
>travel back to the big city
>either use them to craft armor or save them for the cold season and sell them for big bucks
No fast travel bullshit (except between hubs after you beat LR), an actual economy instead of being showered with money, each gear upgrade feels amazing to get. Imagine that.
