Some Monster Hunter Wilds players are asking Capcom to remove the glow that comes with certain buffs or debuffs, claiming that it’s ruining the hard work they’ve put into their hunter’s appearance. Monster Hunter Wilds has proven to be a big hit with many fans of the franchise and has even become the developer’s fastest-selling title ever.

With the ability to utilize layered armor in Monster Hunter Wilds, players have a lot of options when it comes to customizing exactly how their hunter looks at any given moment. Once gamers reach High Rank, any crafted piece of armor can be used for transmog purposes. Furthermore, fans can even choose to alter the color scheme of these items, giving everyone an impressive number of ways to fine tune the appearance of their character. Unfortunately, some fans feel the game is overriding their hard work and meticulous attention to detail by adding a glow to their hunter.

In a recent post on Reddit, Absolutely-A-Human shared an image of their character glowing in the middle of one of the game’s many base camps. They, along with other players, have asked that Capcom remove the glow from certain buffs and debuffs within the game, which can cause a character to shine white or red. Several people said they would just like the ability to disable the glow in social situations where they’re not actively in combat. Some fans pointed out that the glow disappears during conversations and cutscenes, suggesting that the ability to toggle it off is already present somewhere within the game. Others claimed that they used a mod in Monster Hunter Wilds to disable the glow, but such options aren’t available to fans who play on consoles.

Monster Hunter Wilds Players Want to Toggle off Buff/Debuff Glows

Gamers have been asking Capcom to add more customization to the popular title, with some requesting that the developer add layered weapons to Monster Hunter Wilds. While players have many options when it comes to tweaking their outfit, they cannot change the appearance of weapons in any way. Some people would like to see a full transmog system added to the game, while others would just like to be able to alter the color of their weapons. This has been a particularly common complaint about Artian weapons, which many fans seem to dislike aesthetically.

Some players have also suggested that Capcom should give the community a way to display captured monsters in Monster Hunter Wilds, since the feature has been present in previous titles. In Monster Hunter: World, gamers had the ability to view the most recent creature they’d captured in one of the title’s main hubs, which would then be swapped out upon catching another monster. While there’s no way of knowing how the developers will respond to such requests, many fans are feeling optimistic about the future of Monster Hunter Wilds.
