Keep it related to Monster Hunter. Plain and simple. If it's questionable, be ready to back it up.
๐ Respect Your Fellow Hunters
Greenhorns or oldhats, we all start somewhere in the series. Everyone is welcome.
No racism, bigotry, flaming, trolling, or any other behavior unbecoming of a guild hunter. We're here to play and discuss Monster Hunter with like-minded folks, act like it.
No "game shaming": This isn't a place for title vs title arguments. Take that to steam forums or elsewhere. Compare/contrast mechanics between games, discuss what worked or didn't and how. Devolving into flame wars of "MHX sucks, gib more MHY" will not be tolerated.
No "off-meta" shaming: having fun playing the game is the meta. Discuss strats, builds, and give suggestions, but that's all they are, suggestions.
๐ Original Art Only
No AI art: too easy to spam, too low effort.
Attribute original artists with links, watermarks, and mentions where available. If you don't know the source, say so.
If an internet sleuth finds a poster cribbing others' art as their own, that's a bannable offense.

I mean, I'm not going to pretend I wont buy Wilds and give it a shot. I'm a hopeless addict after all (trying another Niantic game proves this). I just felt seemingly exactly like you where World was lacking the charm I came to expect. I still remember having an oh shit moment during that first MHW gameplay trailer with Anja. Rock effects instead of blood and this boring, milquetoast-ass straight up plain old T-Rex wannabe. Turned out to be more than that, but that was the first moment I didn't feel like I was seeing "real MonHun."
But RiseBreak knocked it out of the park for me. I feel comfortable calling it my favorite title now (as I make my way through the past with emulation). It was a perfect blend of old and new. And a direct evolution of MHGU mechanic cooking from the portable team.
I hold ~~no~~ only a small grudge against the 5th fleeters. I'm happy for the series' success. I'm just hoping for a modern remaster of old titles now more than ever and that the portable team keeps doing portable team things.
I wholeheartedly agree with everything you say - put into words better than I could have. I think we have very similar opinions on this subject matter.
