I’m in the exact same boat, so many monsters are appearing in people’s yards where I can’t go. And since there are also no sidewalks along many roads here, it’s also dangerous for me to try and make my way to a number of monsters.
DL is the best thing that happened to me, semi-rural player. Hope they will consider to keep the range as it is right now.
To the dev team.
More DL monsters means more hunts, more hunts may mean more chances to get hit, that it may lead to more potion sold.
You should incentive the play. No matter what people will get hit and will be forced to stop hunting for a while.
Please dont increase the dimensional hunt distance. Its at a great spot now and if you had to move closer to get within range it would almost defeat the purpose of them. People in rural areas have a hard enough time getting regular hunts so this addition was fantastic. If the range is decreased it would be a lot harder to reach them. I understand the goal is to incentivize in person hunting but that isnt always possible. Dimensional hunting is a great alternative to help people enjoy the game more
I agree with what a lot of others have been saying in this thread. If the primary issue is that local hunt notifications are getting clobbered by the Dimensional Link notifications, why not differentiate them somehow?
This is either a poorly thought-out, bandaid fix or a dimensional link nerf trying to be passed off as something else.
I went from a casual, free-to-play player to a dedicated paid player thanks to the Dimensional Link feature. Living in a semi-rural area, I finally felt like I could play with the community on a regular basis. If the Link nerf goes into effect, I certainly won’t spend any more money on this game. It’s ridiculous that Niantic once again made a universally-praised change to one of their games only to rip it away. Hopefully we can get them to reconsider, just like they did with the proposed post-COVID Pokemon Go distance nerf.
I’ve been playing this game since launch
and I’ve only ever seen two other players when walking around.
Dimensional Links being added to the game has to be the best feature that has been introduced since launch and has drastically increased my enjoyment of playing this game. The current increased range on Dimensional Links allows me to have the opportunity to play with other hunters and actually have monsters within range to fight while walking around, thus keeping me interested in investing my time into your game.
This feature has received nothing but praise from the community and I truly believe that moving forward with the suggested change would only drive hunters away from your game Niantic. On behalf of all hunters, please reconsider!
Please do not nerf the range of dimensional monsters, for most players outside of Japan those are the only group hunts available as there are NO other hunters locally to play with.
現状/Current Status
Current range on dimensional monsters is a lifesaver for majority of people outside of Japan. I know you want to balance it with local hunts but there simply arent any local hunts.
As I stated in another thread like this, DL is the best thing that happened to my personal experience in MHNow. Hope they will leave as it is, cause I am enjoying the game more.
The planned reduction to Dimensional Link range is a slap in the face to players that live in rural or less populated ir player dense areas and will once again risk people getting into potentially dangerous situations just to be able to play the game with others. Leave the DL range as is.
現状/Current Status
The current DL range helps individuals have a multiplayer experience in areas where their may not be enough players or if they live in pedestrian unfriendly locales where reaching a DL could be a dangerous.
Exactly, thank you. As someone who lives in a rural area with very limited sidewalks, the range of everything is very important to me, and I enjoy walking alot.
DL is the best thing that happened to my personal experience in MHNow. Thanks to this feature i can now enjoy the group hunt outside of those few HAT that I do.
This is do the fact that HAT are far away from where I live, so is not so easy to go walk for one of them. Thanks to DL monsters i enjoyed the game more, especially for 8☆ monsters.
Hope they will leave it as it is.
