現状/Current Status

Currently, it is not possible to revisit the Pre-Season Story and there is no training dummy.

現在、シーズン前ストーリーを再訪することはできず、トレーニング用ダミーも存在しません。

提案/Suggestion

Instead of a training dummy that doesn’t behave like the actual large monsters, why not allow us to revisit the Pre-Season Story so that we can get a chance to practise new weapons against familiar monsters?

General Idea:

  1. The Abridged Version of Pre-Season Story is only available to players who have completed the Current Season Story.
    1a. This means only players who have unlocked 7-star and above can peruse this option (completed the 6-star Season Story).
    1b. The player must also have completed the current Season Story regardless of their Urgent Quest difficulty level. This is for players who have entered a new season. This ensures that the player has completed the current Season Story (main objective) before sidetracking to other quests.

  2. The abridged version of the Pre-Season Story contains just Urgent Quests at the difficulty level they have access to. For example, if they have unlocked 8-star hunts, they can run the Pre-Season Story at 6, 7, or 8-star.

  3. Hunters can attempt the abridged version of the Pre-Season Story any number of times, but all Urgent Quests do not cost the hunter any HP if they took damage or fainted and do not reward anything. During the Urgent Quest hunts, hunters do not have access to their recovery items, but they always start the hunt at 100% HP. If they fainted in the hunt, they can simply exit and then restart the hunt freely.

  4. Hunters can only progress to the next Urgent Quest by completing the current Urgent Quest.

  5. Hunters cannot exit the Abridged version of the Pre-Season Story manually. They have to complete all the hunts in order to exit the Abridged Pre-Season Story and return to their usual Season Story, resuming at the point they entered the Abridged Pre-Season Story. The story progress for the Season Story is preserved perfectly, so that players cannot abuse the mechanism by completing the hunt for the Season Story, don’t claim the quest reward, enter the Abridged Pre-Season Story, complete the Abridged Pre-Season Story, then repeat the Urgent Quest hunt in the Season Story for another attempt at slaying the Urgent Quest monster.

In other words, think of this “Abridged Pre-Season Story” as a meditative state, where the hunter recollects and meditates about the past hunts and mentally simulate the hunts with different equipment in their mind, allowing the hunter to sharpen their mind without endangering their physical selves. When they exit the meditation, they simply resume what they were doing in “real life”.

Please consider this.

トレーニング用ダミーのように大型モンスターとは異なる動きをするものではなく、シーズン前ストーリーを再訪できるようにして、新しい武器を馴染みのあるモンスター相手に練習する機会を提供してはいかがでしょうか？

概要:

  1. シーズン前ストーリーの簡略版は、現在のシーズンストーリーをクリアしたプレイヤーのみが利用可能です。
    1a. 7つ星以上のクエストをアンロックしたプレイヤー（6つ星シーズンストーリーをクリア済み）が利用可能。
    b. 現シーズンストーリーをクリア済みであることが必須（緊急クエストの難易度に関係なく）。これは、新しいシーズンに進んだプレイヤーが対象となり、現シーズンストーリー（メイン目標）を完了してから他のクエストに取り組むことを保証します。

  2. 簡略版のシーズン前ストーリーは緊急クエストのみで構成され、プレイヤーがアクセス可能な難易度で挑戦できます（例: 8つ星をアンロックしている場合は、6、7、8つ星のシーズン前ストーリーを選択可能）。

  3. ハンターは簡略版を何度でも試すことが可能ですが、緊急クエスト中のダメージや力尽きてもHPが消費されず、報酬もありません。クエスト中、回復アイテムは使用不可ですが、開始時には常に100%のHPで開始します。力尽きた場合、クエストを終了して再挑戦できます。

  4. 現在の緊急クエストをクリアしないと次のクエストに進むことはできません。

  5. 簡略版のシーズン前ストーリーを手動で退出することはできません。すべてのクエストをクリアしない限り、簡略版を終了して通常のシーズンストーリーに戻ることはできません。簡略版に入った時点のシーズンストーリーの進行状況は完全に保存されます。これにより、簡略版を利用して同じ緊急クエストを繰り返し挑戦することができない仕組みとなります。

この「シーズン前ストーリー簡略版」は、ハンターが過去の狩猟を振り返り、新しい装備を試しながら精神的な鍛錬を行う「瞑想状態」と考えてください。瞑想が終了すると、現実世界での狩猟をそのまま再開する形です。

ぜひご検討ください。

Addendum:

  • Perhaps give an option to start these “mental hunts” with no SP gauge or with full SP gauge. The SP Gauge will be unaffected by food items and is separate from the actual SP Gauge.
  • Actual combat conditions are the same as the usual hunts. The only thing that are different from the usual Urgent Quests are what happens before and after the hunt.
  • As these are mental hunts, they do not contribute towards achievements, medals, and quests.
  • Not sure if this is feasible, but perhaps can also consider conferring some kind of permanent bonus to the hunter if they have completed all mental hunts with a weapon type, and the bonus will be unique to that weapon type. For example, if a hunter completed all mental hunts with dual blades, they get +10% lower stamina drain when in Demon Mode. If a hunter completed all mental hunts with the bow, they get +5% charging speed. Maybe something to consider for end-game bonuses, something to be kept in view and implemented in the later stage of the game’s lifespan.
