I've put in over 150 hours into this game already between the two alphas, the beta and early press release.
This game is one of the best multiplayer experiences you will find -IF- you play with a group of friends or a team that actually uses the dang microphones to communicate because you NEED to coordinate to catch the monster.
Play with friends as the 4 hunters and monster, and you will have a blast. It has moments that put to shame most epic boss battles in other games. Playing as monster it a truly unique experience. Playing as hunters is incredibly intense and everyone on the team needs to be on their A-game or the team will topple. Just understand that if you rely on matchmaking, YOU CAN'T BE MIC SHY ...as hunters of course. You have to talk to your teammates. Don't be afraid to tell newbies what they could do differently. Just don't be a raging d-bag about it and most people will respond well. Calling them a d*****s f****t n00b is not going help.
#1 PROTIP for hunters, don't just follow the tracks of the monster. The monster is faster than the hunters and you will never catch him like that. Split up into 2 teams of two. One team chases the monster (monster players usually skirts the edges of the map). The other team stays central to the map, and moves in to cut off the monster once the chasing team has found him in a favorable spot. The team that cuts off should have the trapper with the mobile arena ready to go. There are a lot of variations to this tactic, so experiment! However EVERYONE on the team needs to be a good tracker. Do not rely on the trapper player to do all the heavy lifting when it comes to finding the monster. And ABSOLUTELY DO NOT rely solely on daisy (maggies trapjaw pet) to find the monster. She will always be one step behind the monster. Daisy is simply a tool to figure out general direction of the monster. Its up to the players to actually find the monster using that info. Unfortunately the game kinda trains new players to simply follow daisy and simply follow the monster tracks. And its probably why some new players might find the game "boring" at first since all they are doing is mindlessly chasing a monster they can never catch.
