Speaking of monstrosities unleashed, Capcom collaborated to reveal all the info on the upcoming big seasonal event Monster Hunter series; it feels like sweet Halloween candy. Festival of Accord: Dreamspell arrives with a hauntingly beautiful makeover to the Grand Hub and tons of exclusive goodies to snatch. Events shall be held from 22nd October to 12th November. That means almost three weeks for everyone to get in the action and grab all the limited-time cosmetics and gestures. Other things include decorating the campsite and food items. These Monster Hunter skies are ready for a proper spooky season, and woo, what a vibe!
So, what is the Festival of Accord exactly? It is essentially Monster Hunter’s version of celebrating Halloween haute couture. The main gathering hub is completely transformed into a dreamy layout, almost at par with the Nightmare Before Christmas vibe. One player, Kinagi, had posted some shots and said, “Looks almost inspired by Nightmare Before Christmas.” Not wrong at all-The whole set-up exudes Tim Burton aura mixed with classic Halloween spookiness. These seasonal events are all the more reasons for people not to go anywhere but chill in the hub and take in some good vibes.
But it’s not about style points. This also dumps a whole sack of items that can only be obtained during this event. We’re talking new sets of gear, emotes to show off to your buddies, and camping site décor. One hunter, Mistie, was already talking up one particular accessory: “The pendant!!! 🥺💙”, so you can be sure that the cosmetic game is strong. The Mosgharl armor set return is going to be a hot topic too, injecting more excitement among a bunch of players. “Mosgharl armor, my beloved,” said Adrian Guerrero, reflecting the sentiments many long-time fans share. The classic pumpkin-headed design tones have become synonymous with Monster Hunter Halloween events.
But the celebration mood didn’t last. That ended up being the hype train, and then some folks feel insulted. That a bunch of players threw in a stream of issues still intact in the game and never held back on voicing them. Meldoksis said, “Can’t access this either cuz you WONT fix your game. My 180-hour save file is just there and unusable. So I haven’t even got back to the gathering hub.” Oof. That is quite a situation, being locked out of your own progress and missing let alone seasonal fun due to a bug.
But then there was another… The conversation in the replies quickly shifted to the game’s current endgame challenge, the notoriously difficult Savage Omega Planetes. This one has been spawning some massive rifts within the player base. People are begging for nerfs. “Nerf Omega Savage,” pleaded FlewArts, seemingly igniting tons of opposition. The response was a chorus of ‘git gud’ and argument that not all content has to be for everyone. “Not all content has to be accessible to everyone. Savage Omega is the hardest fight in the game. You are not entitled to beating him if you don’t want to put in the careful effort needed,” said a user called J I N X. Classic gamer debate: do the hardest challenges need to be toned down so more people can have a shot at them or do they stay an absolute test for those few who remain? One hunter, Dreyven, shared a pretty telling statement regarding the fight: “Lol, I’m not interacting with none of that until I beat Savage Omega Planetes. See you next year Dreamspell.” To say some people’s festival is paused until they overcome that mountain.
Between the melee of passionate debates, glimmers of hope began to form with some possible solutions. Nightraven wondered, “Would be cool if we get another Resident Evil collaboration running around as zombies was so much fun LoL ❤️,” and that would be so true because Capcom owns Resident Evil, so a crossover is always possible. Then there’s OHR6: “Definitely has me hyped up and you know the Diva will have a new song 🎵.” The in-game performances are huge for festival vibes; therefore, a new song would be a perfect capstone.
Then, so far comes what Monster Hunter’s Festival of Accord: Dreamspell has to say about the closure. It is a classic Capcom seasonal event, loaded with cosmetic loot and atmospheric transformations making just logging in to the game a very special thing. It is for the reason that will get the squad together in some spooky gear to take a break from bashing their heads against that super boss. Even though the community has mixed feelings about the present game in terms of relationships in grain spikes and difficulty, one well-done holiday event does always grab that charm.
So, the hub itself is looking amazing, with sizzling tempting exclusive goodies. They fix a couple of weeks as a timeframe for Monster Hunter to flirt with an assortment of things in a faster route to the very magical and a lot haunted. Just maybe beat that savage Omega guy first, so you don’t get so stressed out to enjoy the decorations. PlayStation and Xbox players alike can dive into the festivities.
