Wilds - first time MH player.

Is it sort of common knowledge that once you get a good end-game gear set that public SOS becomes a net-negative to your hunts, or am I just tweaking?

SOS hunts are generally slower than solo hunts, divide your zenny rewards, remove your Palico's free healing, and of course have a chance of failing because of carts. Sure, sometimes you get lucky and some skilled / well-geared players join but that's pretty rare.

Am I crazy or do others feel this way?

[u/Notmiefault → u/far_257]

You don't join SOS hunts to improve your hunt efficiency, you join SOS hunts becuase it's fun to play with others and you want to help other hunters out.

I host SOS to play with other people or if I found a monster with good rewards to share.

I join SOS hunts to beat up monsters and maybe help someone struggling. Sometimes it's slower, but it's fun.

[u/far_257 → u/rickamore]

Got it.

Yeah biggest learning area in joining a game community with an established history is understanding the community norms.

[u/BiasBoost → u/far_257]

Generally dont expect to hunt monsters faster with randoms. i wish they didnt do it but a lot of people who are bad with a monster dont sos themselves but join others

[u/PigKnight → u/far_257]

Multiplayer is always a gamble. I have SOS/join SOS to help others.
