提案/Suggestion
I took part in the monster outbreak beta, there were about 3-4 signups and in the morning only me and 1 other person were there, took us the whole hour and only barely managed to kill 50 Black Diablos (so 100 in total which was the goal) the afternoon part I was the only one that showed up.
I am afraid that with these bases I’m getting punished for leveling up a base because I wont be able to complete the outbreak goal in the last 2 days if its 100 and I’m the only one there, or if I (we) manage to get it higher level with only 2 or 3 people there.
I think it would help alot if the outbreak can be balanced by the amount of people participating, or instead of having to defeat 100 monsters in total, everyone gets their reward for defeating 50, that way even solo players can atleast defeat the outbreak, leveling up the base shouldn’t punish you by making it harder

I have the same concern as well. Despite seeing over 30 signups, in actual I only saw like 8-10 different players at one session and only like 6 (including myself) stayed for the entire session.
But I am guessing that monster outbreak is not a permanent feature and is just something that pegged on the Exploration Base test as a motivation to increase the level of the Exploration Base for testing purposes.
Exploration Bases appear to be a permanent feature when it’s released, so it doesn’t seem to make sense that the outbreaks would be part of the feature in the long run.
But if the Outbreaks are going to only occur at Bases when the Outbreak is released and the slaying goal of the Outbreaks are directly tied to the level of the Base, then this can be a concern for Bases where there are many nearby players who can contribute to raising the level of the Base but for various reasons cannot commit to attending the Outbreak session (e.g. the Outbreak features a monster that the players do not need and therefore do not want to spend their effort on, or simply because of real life commitments).
A good example of such players who can contribute to levelling up the Base but not attend the Outbreaks are players who do shift work and they are asleep/resting during the time the Outbreaks occur.
10-11am is also a bad time for players who have to work half-day on Saturdays and for players who need to prepare to head out for lunch. 5-6pm is also a time where people are generally preparing to have dinner.

Yeah I’m curious about how this beta will turn out as I might be the only one playing nearby. I’m in a small village and I can’t find anyone playing anymore. Tried to move to different cities but the big one I’m closest to (1 hour drive) is populated by people playing Pokémon Go and not MH Now.
I did solo the 100 black diablos outbreak but my concern here is how many people will be required for the exploration to actually get the maximum base level. I might get stuck to the minimum reward while I could clear the maximum outbreak by myself.
I understand it says « local » and the last 2 days of outbreak aside being able to contribute to a base with friends would be awesome for people isolated from the world like me. Like no outbreaks at the end but a reward that anyone could get for the effort instead. And introduce outbreak in a different way.
We’ll see, it’s not that far anyway I’ll do my best!
