Monster Hunter Wilds character editing fees make players angry

Capcom recently implemented a pay-as-you-go model for detailed character customization in Monster Hunter Wilds. While it doesn't affect gameplay, the system has been controversial.

According to IGN, the newly released Monster Hunter Wilds game has encountered controversy regarding the character editing system. Capcom provides a free editing ticket for each player, but if they want to make deeper changes such as voice or character gender, they will have to buy additional tickets starting at $6.99 for three edits.

According to Capcom, some changes like hair color, eyebrows, or costumes can be made for free. However, larger edits require a voucher. This isn't the first time the Monster Hunter series has used this model, but it hasn't been well received by players.

The character editing feature in Monster Hunter Wilds is essential for many players to be able to personalize the experience and maintain freshness when participating in the game.

On Reddit, many gamers criticized the mod ticket system from Monster Hunter Rise , considering it an unnecessary form of microtransaction. Some compared it to Elden Ring , where character editing was free and unlimited.

On Steam, Monster Hunter Wilds ' mod ticket system has also received mixed reviews. The free trial version of the ticket has nearly 200 reviews, with a “Mixed” score. One player said: “I can accept selling costume DLC, but character editing restrictions are unnecessary.”

However, some have defended the system, arguing that it doesn't significantly impact the overall experience. They argue that the amount of editing that's actually necessary is minimal. The controversy surrounding Monster Hunter Wild 's character editing system is reminiscent of Dragon's Dogma 2 , where a slew of microtransactions were introduced at launch, causing a lot of negative reactions.

Monster Hunter Wilds has just released, and it's unclear what the long-term reaction from the community will be. As other issues like difficulty and performance on PC become more discussed, the character editing controversy may die down or continue to be a flashpoint.
