We only got 7 species and not even the full ones. Not even everything they announced including the last 3 main Ecosystem species. Pretty much every species in the game is included in the monstrosity list and we only have 7.

They haven't given players anything for Monstrosity for 9 months now. Even with all the stuff they promised. Mon -v- Mon, Mon Parties, New species, etc. They even showed screenshots of these things.

If a 9 month wait is them saving up content for Monipulator it better be a full on Monstrosity patch of Armageddon proportions.

Agreed.

I HOPE they deliver, but there is a good chance it can go either way.
I just figure that SE saw an ace in their deck when the monstrosity response was so strong, that they held back a wildcard for when they really need it.
Then again it's very possible they dropped the ball and are piddling around instead.
Ambiguous outcomes suck.

I'm just aggravated they wont respond to like 5-month old (and perhaps older) threads plus newer threads begging for content news and updates.

1>90 toad in about 12 hours or so (spread across three days)

So much pain, but the instinct is awesome, and really fun!

I'm never taking another monster past Lv60 without the xp boost ._.

Guess I'll need to make the most of the remaining days!

Seeing Monstrosity RoE's in the Unity (shared) list of RoE's regularly sparks some hope. SE hasn't forgotten completely about Monstrosity.
Here's hoping we actually get some updates soon. We really could do with new monsters, areas and party content.

Even with the xp boost, I am really starting to get burned out. Wish we could do some other kind of content for xp.

I think only a nerf to exp caps or a buff to xp gain and pt play can bring some interest back to monstrosity. Then they can introduce many RoE trials with really potent currency rewards that would encourage playing monstrosity.

I would also like to see a system in which you can get free capacity points for your character while leveling up in monstrosity. For example: You have collected 50k xp as a monster. When you talk to the NPC, you can choose to get half of that amount as capacity points for the job you are currently on. Then the counter resets.

Oh yes, there are many things they could do to generate interest. Partying is a definite. Getting new pets for your Mog Garden, introducing some things to buy with infamy, letting you get merits/capacity points somehow, letting you farm or "dig up" stuff while exping, some quests/events/BCNMs for Mons only ...

If you're on the official forum, please keep posting or adding your opinion if you haven't already. We need to make some noise to SE! ^_^

How do I get TP moves like Thunderbolt (on Behemoth) to pack more of a punch? Do I stack instincts with DEX, INT, MAB? Since you don't get lightning element MAB until level 90 ... But I do have Couerl I, so would that work?
I haven't unlocked Meteor yet, so I don't know which TP move is better. But I'm guessing either way I need to start adding some MAB instincts?

Not much you can really do to see any real difference. What you have already said yourself will enhance the damage of course, but not by much. SE has set the modifiers for all of playable monsters abilities extremely low.

Orthrus is a very hilarious example. I'm not even kidding when I say that my Lv80 Orthrus with decent MAB/INT instincts pumps out a whooping 300~ damage Ancheron Flame on Lv60 trash mobs.

Oh my gosh ... lol. Disappointing and funny at the same time!
That's really sad since once you get past Wild Horn, all other TP attacks are magic-based for this particular Mon. Blaze Spikes has also been a disappointment - you take a few hits then it wears off.
Thanks for the answer. ^_^

It wasn't really popular, so SE left it where it is, they won't update it.

Lot of people love the content (including myself) but the main problem is there aren't any good rewards.
Well, any material rewards that is. I find great fun in leveling a monster and using its skills and specific qualities to creative uses.

If SE added some (augmentable) i-119 gear to Monstrosity, it would be incredible popular again.

Oh, and add party mode.

I wish... it would add a lot of longevity to the game past NOV with all those diff things to level. Even better would be if they let you use your monster in actual content like BCNMs or places you could use trusts. New job Morpher, turn into your Monstrosity monster and use all the abilities! Imagine that? lol
