I think it would greatly benefit Monster Hunter Now to implement a quest board such as in the mainline games.
In the console games, you select your monster to hunt from the selection of quests available on the quest board, then go hunt that monster, then return and repeat the process.
For Monster Hunter Now, it would be a great system to implement with some changes. Rather than a list of all monsters, having a rotating list of monsters that are available to hunt that refreshes with a countdown timer, somewhere around 6 to 8 hours. Allow the player to post a quest, and then work towards hunting that monster. To accomplish this, a system similar to Pokemon Go’s egg system could be implemented. Depending on the rarity of the monster, you will walk a certain distance. Once the distance is reached, the quest conditions are fulfilled and you can begin a fight with your chosen monster.
This system would ease some of the grind and traveling for people hunting for specific monster materials while also avoiding unbalancing the game and keeping players from going out and hunting.
