Add an Events tab to the main menu of the game, where the player can directly see all of the active events of the game.
Sometimes it can be difficult to tell if or when an event ends if the banner has been dismissed and its Special Quests have been fully completed.
I would like to see this too.
For example, the game FINAL FANTASY VII Ever Crisis shows a small exclamation mark on the icons of all features and buttons which details what kind of effects are affecting the said features and buttons, which makes it very clear which “action” has a modified effect compared to the usual gameplay, such as “100% bonus to Character EXP” for the Dungeon modes and such, which I thought was a very clear indicator on where I can direct the focus of my activities to if I want to make the best use of the ongoing events. The notes would also indicate when is the expiry of the modifiers so that players can make informed decisions on when they want to make use of the modifiers, which is very helpful for planning purposes.
For MHNow, I think simply a list of ongoing events would be great for a start. If it can expand to something like what FF7EC is doing, such as indicating “increased appearance” for specific monsters in the Habitat Indicator screen (from the top left button of the Field Map) and in Hunter’s Guide, that would be even better.
Right now, in the community where I am the one relaying the game news and official forum announcements, many of the players often ask the same questions, such as
If there is a persistent in-game display of the ongoing events and a clear, concise, and accessible indicator of the ongoing modifiers to the in-game mechanisms, I believe that would help dispel a lot of missed information and misinformation, especially for the players who do not participate in community groups and forums and rely solely on what the game shows them and the official website.
