Monster Hunter Players Want Character Edit Vouchers Removed From Wilds

by

Summary

  • Monster Hunter Wilds reintroduces paywalls for character customization, disappointing prospective players.
  • Fans express outrage on Reddit, amassing thousands of upvotes and comments in a short period.
  • Past games allowed mods for PC players to bypass character edit tokens, but console players are still stuck.

In a significant shift for one of Capcom’s cherished series, Monster Hunter Rise is implementing numerous modifications. The hitstop mechanism is being revamped, an abundance of new monsters is being introduced, and four weapon types are undergoing substantial alterations. Furthermore, the game is adopting an open-world structure.

Regrettably, it appears that the ability to customize characters and Palicos without charge remains a thing of the past in this game. As confirmed last week, users can only make one set of free changes before needing to pay for further modifications. Predictably, this decision hasn’t been met with enthusiasm by potential players.

Future Monster Hunter Wilds Players Aren’t Happy With Paywalled Character Customization

In the realm of Monster Hunter, it’s been common practice for a while now to have custom character options hidden behind paywalls. This trend has continued in their latest releases such as World, Iceborne, and Rise, where Character Edit Tokens have been utilized. Consequently, it’s not unexpected that Wilds would follow suit. However, with the Monster Hunter series being one of the few to employ this tactic, fans had hoped for a change this time, but regrettably, their wishes remain unfulfilled.

As a gamer, I’ve noticed that the buzz around Monster Hunter doesn’t seem too positive lately, judging by the recent discussions on its subreddit. It appears that the community isn’t entirely satisfied with certain aspects of the game at the moment.

Titled “Capcom, it seems many players are unhappy about this specific Microtransaction, could you possibly reconsider?”, the post received nearly 6,000 upvotes and more than 1,000 comments in just its first day.

As a fellow enthusiast, I wholeheartedly concur with FDR-Enjoyer’s statement. It seems the developers set the price due to the understanding that players would be eager to customize their characters, yet unwilling to lose 40 hours of progress in the process.

Users might prefer to modify their characters, yet they’d rather not lose 40 hours of gameplay progress in the process.

A different player, expressing surprise that Elden Ring allows for endless customization of one’s character, questioned, “In contrast to Monster Hunter, where you must pay and are restricted by the number of character customization vouchers, what is the point of this limitation? When I come back to a game I haven’t played in a while, I like to update my character’s appearance to keep it interesting, but I simply don’t bother with Monster Hunter due to this restriction.

Luckily, PC gamers can find a solution to this issue through mods available for earlier versions of the game, which eliminate the requirement for Character Edit Tokens. Regrettably, this option doesn’t apply to console gamers yet.
