This game really needs a feature where you can change the look of your armour to look like one of the other sets of your choice. FF14 done it, you basically keep the stats of the main armour you’re wearing but you could use a “glamour prism” on it and then you choose it to look like another price of armour as long as you owned it.

It’s better because not only do people prefer the look of earlier weaker armour sets to the later stronger ones it also keeps everybody just looking the same as they’re all wearing the same gear because they have the best stats.

I’ve noticed people on twitter asking the MH account to add this feature, I hope they listen.

As much as I like that feature in other games, Monster Hunter's sole form of progression is gear. I would prefer they show what you have, with the exception being "show helmet" or "hide helmet" since some would like to see the face they've crafted. Showing leather armor when you have Xeno armor would be a disservice to those trying to gauge each other, since looking at what they're actually wearing is a hassle.

And its stil sold out here & there.
Its not overshipped at 6m.

Intresting to see how high it can go though.

People won't buy both now?.

I remember posting a thread on the game and it clearly didn't interest people on here, so it's natural to expect a very, very low opinion of it (especially when it's obvious with FN threads in talks of PuB).

Amazing, this monster just can't stop hunting the world! ;)

It's being tested by a number of people that backed them during their crowdfunding. It's currently in it's closed beta phase, but will be open to the open beta stage sometime in the coming months. 

You can sign up for the closed beta here and become a founder: https://playdauntless.com/

Their roadmap: https://trello.com/b/6gfIQvwi/dauntless-roadmap

At this time, entering the closed beta and becoming a founder means you will be buying the game in order to support the devs, but the game is slated to become F2P during Q2 (originally Q1, but was pushed back). 

As for their stance on their F2P model:

“We want to bring Dauntless to as many people as we can and to hold ourselves to a high standard for keeping the game vital and operational for years to come. And F2P is the best way to do that!. We are firmly against pay to win and are not planning to allow the purchasing of materials. We are currently mainly focused on cosmetics.”

They are basically going with Warframe's model.

I am waiting for the PC port, but if it's bare bones and requires a lot of patching, while suffering network difficulties, then I'll likely be sticking with Dauntless and then waiting for a deep discount on MHW, if that turns out to be the case. if not, I can still play with both.

You don't see it that way because you think the market will only eat up one game and nothing else. FN is on PC as well as PuB and people are playing both on that platform for one example. There are games akin to Minecraft and people are playing all of those variants on PC as well.

You think of it as a "me too", yet Stardew Valley was basically playing that fiddle and it sold very well and gained popularity as a result. PuB played the "me too" game when there was already H1Z1, DayZ and other BR style games out there as well, that also gained popularity as a result. 

You don't care, and a s a result, you don't think it will do good, but that has no bearing on the game in general.

Everyone here, save for two of us didn't care for Quake Champions, which originally required you to download and use Bethesda's client. The game is now on Steam and people are still playing it during it's early access phase.

You may think it's not interesting and utter tripe, but thousands of others think differently, myself included, so there is that difference to chalk up at the end of the day. (and just to make another point, what you think is tripe, will be interesting to someone else. What you like, I could find as garbage. we all have different preferences).

If it's using a Warframe business model, I'm not sure I'll be interested. I'll try it during the open beta, but it will have to be impressive to pull me away from World.

It's not going to be everyone's cup of tea.

I'm also waiting for the open beta phase myself, as I'm already testing Forged Battalion for Petroglyph/Team 17 atm and offering them feedback. Once Dauntlesshits open beta, I'll hop onto that and offer them feedback then.

I honestly don't expect anyone here, who's very much into MHW to bat an eye at at another MH type game tbh (we've already seen a response from someone who doesn't care for it already for one such example).

I've played and have been interested in MH for years, but I'm not loyal to the franchise, so if Dauntless arrives before MHW, I'll be giving them the time of day. If MHW gives us a stellar premium PC port job, then I'll be giving that some time to play as well. if not, then Dauntless will gain my full attention instead,.
