Hey, fellow hunters! Capcom’s dropping some fresh news about Monster Hunter Wilds, and the next update—hitting March 10—promises to fix one of the weirder bugs: chopping off monster parts and getting… well, the wrong monster’s bits. Yeah, imagine slicing off a Rathalos tail and ending up with a Gravios leg. Wild, right? The devs are hustling “behind the scenes” to polish this beast of a game, and honestly, it needs a little TLC.
Let’s be real—Monster Hunter Wilds exploded onto the scene like a barrel bomb. Launch day? Nearly 1.4 million concurrent players on Steam alone. That’s a insane leap from Monster Hunter: World’s peak of 334,684. Eight million copies sold in three days? Fastest in Capcom’s history. But here’s the kicker: it’s sitting at a “mixed” rating on Steam, with just 60% positive reviews. Oof. As a longtime hunter, I’ve seen this before—big launches with big potential, but also some big stumbles. Reminds me of Stalker 2—a glitchy mess we still adore. Capcom knows the score, though, and they’re not tapping out yet.
They’ve already rolled out a couple quick patches since launch, tackling stuff like progression blocks and crashes—thanks to us players yelling about it on X and forums. Now, the team’s digging into meatier fixes. The March 10 update (version 1.000.05.00, if you’re a version nerd) is targeting a laundry list of quirks. Ever had the Meal Invitation event at Azuz and Sild just… not happen? Or equipped your gear only to find your decorations gone, your Bowgun reset, and your Kinsect downgraded to noob status? Yep, that’s getting sorted. And that monster part swap glitch? Finally on the chopping block. Gravios not flinching right, fish ignoring your capture net, Palico moves locking you up—Capcom’s swinging the hammer at all of it.
But it’s not all smooth sailing. Some headaches, like network errors when you fire an SOS flare too quick or Palico blunt attacks not stunning, won’t make this update. Same goes for janky Link Member priority and Hunter Profile editing woes. Still, Capcom’s not ghosting us—they’re “watching, listening,” and tinkering away. They’re even teasing more Event Quests (check monsterhunter.com for the schedule) and those juicy title updates starting in April. Patience, hunters. They’re cooking something big.
Look, I’ve sunk hours into this series—chased Anjanaths through jungles, carted to Rathians more times than I’ll admit. Wilds is a chaotic masterpiece, and yeah, it’s messy. But this update? It’s a step toward taming the beast. Capcom’s not just patching—they’re listening to us griping on X, sifting through feedback, and keeping the grind alive. So sharpen your blades, stock your potions, and get ready for March 10. The hunt’s only getting better, and Monster Hunter Wilds is still the main keyword driving this wild ride.
