This clip is from Ruri's interview with the lead developers for MHWilds, and THANK GOODNESS they confirmed that DLC will not include monster parts or pay-to-win items! DLC shall remain cosmetic only!

I mean that was the most obvious answer lmao. We know damn well they aren’t gonna do that, this isn’t Gacha lol but I get why the question was asked

oh of course! I don't think they would openly admit to adding such items, especially in such a pivotal time for MHWilds

oh yeah, I would see concerns all the time. It started as cosmetic armors, then we started getting paid DLC weapon skins, etc. Many people were worried about a slippery slope of paid DLC content

I was hoping dlcs would only be gestures, pendents, handler costumes etc not full on layered armors and weapons like rise but I guess we will have that too in wilds

hmm, that's a fair point

Let's see, I don't know if I understood well, but does that mean that the master rank will be there from the base game?

No, it doesn't. They said they will stick with the same direction. This means that they will continue with their model of base game, followed by a large expansion a while later.

I didn't really care about the furniture and pendant dlcs in World but Rise had way too many dlc layered armors and weapons that should've been event quests. It still isn't pay-to-win but previous games had such iconic event rewards that it was a huge letdown.

MHW literally has over 500 usd of dlc and people actually thought theyd do this? 200 dlc about 190 of it paid and its ALL cosmetic
