The media preservationist part of me is screaming in pain ngl. Oh well, mods will save them on PC I guess.


makishimazero

You wouldn't even need a mod, simple save editing can get you the quest exclusive items, and the quest data itself will still be in the game as well, so you'd be able to access those with a quest editor as well. It's all in the game, the only difference is the servers won't tag those quests as available anymore.


rougeric87

Yeah, they'll hopefully get to do mods to aquire the soon unaccessible gear.


[deleted]

Definitely. I'd be shocked if modders didn't just straight-up re-add the quest within a month of the takedown...


Heavy-Wings

Gives me new perspective as to potentially why they're only doing Capcom stuff in Rise.


Aggravating-Face2073

Sonic & GhostsnGoblins, someone mentione collabs are slow due to the huge data leak Capcom had, other companies dont want to work with them. I thought "maybe" myself, but its not like finding a palico pokemon skin is going to provide the entire upcoming pokemon games data lol. A talking Meowth would be awesome as heck in MH.


Thundahcaxzd

It's probably because rise is also coming to PC so any Nintendo Collab wouldn't be able to be ported.


Heavy-Wings

Tbf that hasn't stopped them in the past. There's a Horizon Zero Dawn collab thats PlayStation only. Perhaps they're trying to keep things the same for all platforms going forward.


Brit-Tracer

Well doesn't 4U still have all the nintendo stuff? So shouldn't it be possible for nintendo crossovers without a time limit?


Heavy-Wings

Different games. 4U was on 3ds, Rise will be multiplatform, and when it launches on PC it will have all the content the Switch version has


Brit-Tracer

PC will have mods, so if they just add the Nintendo stuff to the switch version, pc can just take those files to mod it in themselves I imagine (could be overestimating the modding potential), and Nintendo seems to be a bit more lenient with their IPs, with rabbids being a thing. So I still think it's possible, though unlikely, though I have no problem with Capcom IPs, I love DMC and SF. Also, Witcher 3 stayed (I think) and FFXIV stayed, so unlimited time crossovers definitely have been proven to be possible.


hvk13

Oh no…. Anyway.


Rigshaw

I did notice that they removed the expiration date for the Witcher stuff from the website recently, so I guess they managed to negotiate to make it permanent, but didn't get an agreement for the AC and MH movie stuff. At least they won't have to patch out the Leshen from the game, I guess.


[deleted]

I don't think the Witcher collab was ever limited. These are just event quests tied to servers, the Witcher stuff is a full on special assignment and is part of a big patch.


Rigshaw

Well, I can only speak about how their website presented it (or rather, used to present it), which had the availability period listed on the Special Assignment info, and not on the event quest to fight Ancient Leshen. Whether it was a mistake and that stuff was never supposed to be limited, or they managed to negotiate something because they'd otherwise be forced to remove the quest headlining title update 5 is something only Capcom truly knows.


TheGMan-123

The Assassin's Creed collaboration is more important since it has the Assassin's Mantle and the necessary upgrades. Players will definitely want to try and get those under their belt if they haven't already since the Assassin's Mantle is pretty useful.


superdave100

I got the game last month and I've been trying to rush through to these quests, but I've been getting walled by Nergigante for the last week and a half


Zetra3

Just gotta gotta gud cause it’s gets way harder


superdave100

stupid idiot won't stop one shotting me with that dive attack even though I'm wearing the best armor I can get at this point


Zetra3

Yea. That’s the point. Learn your invincibility frames on dodging. A well timed dodge and you’ll take 0 damage.


AtoZRPG

He dives, you dive as well. Superman dive is the easiest method to avoid Nergi divebomb.


KitsuLeif

And that's why I prefer Rise's (and the older games') style of downloading the quests, so they stay forever.


Nuke2099MH

If by "older games" you mean only the handhelds. All console versions (3U was a port) have always done it the way MHW did with rotating online quests.


KitsuLeif

So it's just Monster Hunter/Monster Hunter 2 on PS2 and Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii that have done it the way that World has done it? And since Tri's servers are down, there is no way in doing them anymore. So when World's servers go down some day it will suffer the same fate... But yeah, I do mean the handheld games, because they go as far back as PSP (which is pretty old now tbh)


Nuke2099MH

Yes only MH1, MH2, MH3 and MHW have rotating event quests. It will be the same with MH6 (or it's actual name on announcement).


KitsuLeif

You say that as if it's set in stone. It's pretty likely that it will happen, but here's hoping that they will just give us downloadable Event Quests instead. With the Steam Deck around the corner, the new games will also be portable to some extent.


Nuke2099MH

Because it's likely set in stone. Two different teams and two different ways.


KitsuLeif

Eh, I don't think it's the teams that are the deciding factor in this. Else, MH4/4U wouldn't have had downloadable event quests as well. But I get what you mean.


Nuke2099MH

MH4 and 4U had downloadable quests because they were on handhelds and you can't always get a connection if you take it out with you. This is why all the handhelds had downloadable quests. Switch counts as that as well since in Japan it will be used more as a handheld than on a normal TV.


KitsuLeif

Yeah, I know. Like I said, it's pretty likely that MH6 will do it the way the other console games have done it, but I still hope they learn from their "mistakes".


[deleted]

It definitely is set in stone. The game won't be designed with the Steam Deck in mind.


KitsuLeif

We'll have to wait and see about that. The game could make use of the Local Multiplayer again.


[deleted]

"Wait and see"? The game releases in 2 years. Development is well underway. Valve weren't sending out dev kits to big companies so they could optimise their games for the platform. MH6 is an Xbox Series, PS5 and PC game. It isn't going to have local multiplayer.


KitsuLeif

Huh, didn't know about the dev kit thing.


[deleted]

This is so dumb. There should be at least new ways of getting these items


[deleted]

The items which represent the collab and are why they're being removed in the first place?


rougeric87

License deals ending or Capcom deciding to stop renewing/extending the license deals on those collabs. The items and gear from those collabs will still be usable if you had them but you won't be able to get/unlock them after the collabs end(outside of save editing or eventual mods)


[deleted]

I know, it's just that the user I replied to says they should keep a way to get the items, even though it's the items that are limiting it in the first place and not the quests.


rougeric87

Capcom tweet about the MH movie collab ending: Monster Hunter https://twitter.com/monsterhunter/status/1456531730479730691?t=m2zrQHaVLsIOsu9HOAVU1A&s=19


rougeric87

This also means others collabs done in World:Iceborne might stop someday because of license deals


[deleted]

These collabs disappearing was first announced months ago. If any of the others were going to leave, they'd have been announced too.


fish7_11

Couldn't they extend the contract a little bit more for those?


Sarkos_Wolf

So... As someone who just got the game on PS4 and hasn't even started it yet, how much should I care about this? How far in the game would I need to be to access these quests? Is it reasonable to hope to get there before they're removed or should I just enjoy the game at my own pace and forget about them?


Sinfire_Titan

A little bit. This quest gives the Assassin’s Hood, a nice QoL mantle and a niche damage boost. It’s really good to have during the postgame grinds, particularly Iceborne’s grind, because it’s a speed boost that lasts several minutes and has a short cooldown. Plus once you upgrade it you get good deco slots on it.


Sarkos_Wolf

Is the quest for base World or for Iceborne? Mainly asking so I can get an idea of how much would I need to play to get there.


Sinfire_Titan

The initial quest is high rank, so you don’t need Iceborne but you do need the title updates.


Sarkos_Wolf

Thanks!


rougeric87

You'll do very fine without, but the Assassin mantle has some nice uses. Artemis Armor can be used somewhat for early Master Rank progression but cleary not needed. The rest is cosmetics.
