Monster Hunter Wilds Charges For Character Edit Vouchers Again, and Players Are Frustrated

BBG News

The game “Monster Hunter Wilds” has been released, with countless players crafting their own hunters. It’s advisable to devote a bit more time to the character creation process, given that frequent, extensive modifications could lead to accumulated costs.

In Monster Hunter Wilds, Character Edit Vouchers have resurfaced (as noted by VGC), introducing an optional transaction for modifying your character’s appearance. Although minor adjustments like changing hair color or voice tone won’t necessitate a voucher, significant edits will require one.

The Appearance Menu within the game allows you to modify your character’s hair, eyebrow, facial hair, makeup, and clothing without spending a voucher. However, more significant changes such as altering the voice or switching from male to female characters will require the use of a voucher.

Capcom offers one complimentary edit voucher per player initially, but for additional changes, you’ll need to buy more. The same rule applies to your Palico companion – any extensive modifications will require a separate voucher as well. These vouchers are available in different quantities, including packs of three character edits priced at $6.99 and a bundled Character & Palico Edit Voucher pack of three for $9.99.

It’s important to mention that the microtransaction in question is not new for Monster Hunter; it was previously available in both Monster Hunter World and Monster Hunter Rise under the name Character Edit Vouchers. However, this doesn’t necessarily mean these items are widely appreciated within the series.

A discussion on a Monster Hunter subreddit from three years ago expressed dissatisfaction with the Vouchers in Monster Hunter Rise, stating that it was undoubtedly the worst aspect of Generation 5. As one user put it then, “I can’t stand the inclusion of these unnecessary [in-game purchases].

Despite the upcoming release of Monster Hunter Wilds, players have expressed dissatisfaction with its character editing system in advance. As some have pointed out in a recent discussion, games such as Elden Ring allow for limitless, free character modifications. On the other hand, Capcom’s current system imposes a restriction on the number of times a player can modify their hunter.

In simpler terms, a player is questioning the purpose of a rule in “Monster Hunter” where once all customization vouchers are used up, further modifications cannot be made to the character. The player expresses that they enjoy updating their character’s appearance in games they revisit but find it unappealing in “Monster Hunter,” as they feel limited to using only a helmet for their character.

In simpler terms, this system shares similarities with certain Massively Multiplayer Online Games (MMOs) where creating a new character may necessitate an extra subscription or charge. However, the Voucher system has been a frequent source of annoyance, leading some computer game players to devise methods using mods to bypass it.

Users have shared critical comments in Steam reviews about Character Edit Vouchers in both Monster Hunter World and Rise. The Character Edit Voucher – Free Trial Version for Monster Hunter Wilds has amassed nearly 200 reviews as of now, with an overall rating that can be described as “Mixed”. On the downside, the main complaints appear to be: “While I can tolerate cosmetic DLC, restricting character edits is excessive; they should be free and unlimited.

Regarding the counterargument, many praise the vouchers as having minimal influence on the gameplay itself: “The number of individuals who won’t even bother to read or utilize the in-game tool for redeeming these surprises astounds me. However, considering we’re discussing the internet, perhaps this isn’t so unexpected.

The situation here seems strikingly similar to Dragon’s Dogma 2’s release, where a barrage of microtransactions was unleashed, leading to widespread annoyance among players. These transactions provided in-game items, which could also be obtained through regular gameplay, but players found ways to circumvent them regardless. In the case of Monster Hunter Wilds, there’s only one free Edit Voucher; everything else must be purchased outside the game.

It’s yet unclear how the community will respond to Monster Hunter Wilds over the long haul, as it’s only recently become widely available. I believe that issues such as game difficulty, PC performance, and perhaps even microtransactions might be more pressing concerns initially. However, since microtransaction problems aren’t a novel issue, they may not be the primary focus once players have grappled with other challenges. It remains to be discovered whether these microtransaction issues persist or if players adapt, circumvent, or grow accustomed to the voucher limit as time goes on. This will become clearer in the forthcoming weeks and months.

To kick off your thrilling journey in Monster Hunter Wilds, let’s explore aspects not explicitly mentioned in the game, along with a comprehensive guide encompassing all 14 weapon types. We’re also developing an extensive walkthrough for the game, offering insights on multiplayer features to enjoy with friends, and a step-by-step guide to transfer your Monster Hunter Wilds Beta character over if you participated in previous open betas.

iggn.ru’s Monster Hunter Wilds review returned an 8/10. We said: “Monster Hunter Wilds continues to smooth off the rougher corners of the series in smart ways, making for some extremely fun fights but also lacking any real challenge.”
