I'd rather have a real fight with an sns than backflip stunlock elder dragon kills in under a minute

Stop playing Valor.

I dropped World for GU and never looked back

Longsword

I've been playing bow since Freedom and bow just feels fucking right in World. Being stronger than its ever been is just icing on the cake.
GS and Hammer are similarly more fun with their changes too, TCS and full big bang combos make me cream myself.

I play LS, GS, Bow, CB, Lance, GL, DS.

Yeah same.

My ideal MH game would be a mix between 4U and GU/XX but with the visuals being somewhere between those and World.

The lance is truly the most based weapon.Jousting monsters and parrying every attack they throw at you is so satisfying.The lance in world had so many QOL improvements over previous entries.It was tough to go back to the classic style in GU but the rhenoplus charge made up for it.

World bow was monkey's paw as fuck. Weapon finally gets the recognition it deserves, feels great and is even more fun to play, but becomes so powerful that it's flooded with idiots and becomes one of the most hated weapons. I was fine with being mediocre and forgotten in comparison.

>Monster hunter meta
What kind of hell has that game unleashed

big brain bro, amidsts unga bungas

Meta is like cancer of online games. As long as the game continues to live, it will develop one and then all the fun will be consumed by it, as it turns into a self-sustaining system at the cost of the game itself. People will strive for the meta, and they will drive away those who try to work outside it.

I don't know much, since I don't gun.
When you roll, you can hold the button to go into a sprint that costs no stamina. You can do this while in siege mode. I think you can also slide back into siege mode out of the dash.
I used to main GL until I got bored of the limited moves. Valor brings it back to being one of my favirites in GU.

Fucking hell I was hoping something would come in and change it. Hopefully iceborne has a bunch of new armor so behemoth isn't just the absolute best for melee

>tfw sword&shieldfag

Well on the bright side, if capcom continues the formula with behemoth / extremoth / ancient leshen and add more challenging party boss fight in iceborne, people will continue to love having healing sns in the party. You’ll get to be a great heal slut while cucking hunting horn fags out of the preferred support position.

How badly did they fuck it up in World? It was good for once in Gen/GU.

It’s a really safe weapon because it is so mobile, has a shield, and be able to use items and grapple without sheathing. It also has great utility by be able to mount like a god, do some ko, and apply status if you choose to run para sns or something like that. However, the trade off is that the damage is really medicore and just to reach that medicore damage, you’ll have to do spam this really awkward air shield bash attack with really small hit box. It’s like trying to land helm breaker on a weakspot but 10x harder and less rewarding.

No weapon are twice as strong or twice as weak. Don’t let TA wrap your perspective of the game. For an average player, weapon is around the same in power

Redhelm lv. 1 has 3600 HP. Redhelm G-rank has 20,000.

Or specialize on something other that speedkills, like how the Gunlance breaks parts much faster.

The goal is to hit 1000 hunts with Heavy Bowgun. Just farmed AT Xeno for the armor since she came out on PC last night.

>No weapon are twice as strong or twice as weak
Valor HBG in GU, Bow and Glutton in World, IG in 4U...

You don't need to be a speedrunner to dunk on every other weapon with these. Also, even if these didn't exist, every MH game also has obviously underpowered weapons that will sinificantly underperform compared to other weapons at all skill levels.

>SnS will never be as amazing as it was GU ever again
Why the FUCK didn't thry bring the Oils in World

The thing is people don't realise that once one gets to around 300 damage output, one starts getting diminished returns. Realising this freed me from the narrow confines of crit meta thinking, and made me start to experiment more. There's so much more to the game than "Neset and crit skills", there really is. It's exciting at first but after a few hundred hours of it it gets boring using same set. All other sets exist to refresh the experience and there's more possibilities than a lot of people realise.

For me its satisfying finding a good synergy in a set of skills I devise / unique compounds of skills. A lot also depends on what monsters one concentrates on.

Crit meta is OK for general use but is often far from optimal especially considering how much variance there is in the weapons themselves. Like two different Great Swords may require two different builds to tap their respective potential.

Any good SnS Para builds out there for MHW? I could never get satisfied with mine from PC vanilla.

My nigga

How does making several entire weapon types completely underpowered and others so broken you literally can't play them without trivializing the game make anything more fun?

Nobody's asking for perfect balance, just something actually resembling fair advantages and drawbacks. Going from a top tier weapon to a bottom tier one in GU doesn't even feel like you're playing the same game anymore.

Imagine not playing every weapon type and choosing to "main" a weapon in fucking Monster Hunter.

No I disagree. The Deviant system is the meat and potatoes of GU. The game isnt complete if you don't have all the pigments.

>But monster hunter is about doing what you can with what you get. The biggest casuals are always the ones decked in the best armor 'cuz they'd die otherwise.
Depends on what stage of their hunter life they're at. Everyone new has fun getting all the way up and decking out in the best armor once and statstomping the lineup once or twice, it's a guilty pleasure but it's still something to have done. The question is whether they stop there or whether instead they then go into reverse, removing more and more armor and downgrading as their skills continue to improve.

>Crit meta is OK for general use but is often far from optimal
Uh, no. Critical skills are far more abundant on good armor sets. Critical skills are more efficient with the inflated base raw values on weapons in GU. Critical Boost is, in the endgame, the single most efficient damage boosting skill in the entire franchise, adding around 50 raw by itself.

There is no way to compete with crit meta. There just isn't. Stop being deluded. You can choose not to run it for whatever reason, but don't pretend it's anything other than a massive handicap. It doesn't even change anything because you're still playing the same way, you're just doing less damage.

If you want actual variety, then ask for a better selection of good armor skills and sets so that there is an actual decision making process involved when optimizing your gear for a given hunt.

The problem with looking at speed kill is that those players literally repeat hunt dozens of time while abusing tons of hidden stuffs to get that one perfect run. Even some of the top tier weapon, like the bow on speed run, has very polarizing performance where you get really good time if you do everything perfectly and rng is in your favor or fuck up and cart because speed run build is glass cannon and reset the run. If you aren’t doing speed run, the hunts just average out, especially in 4 people party hunt.
Only weapon that really stand out is clusterbomb hbg and I can see people consistently get good performance out of it because it is so braindead

This.
I have friends with more hours of playtime in MH and they only know how to play 2 or 3 weapon types.
I guess I'll never understand.

They have to, right? Or they'll end up like the people complaining about sekiro being a hard game. MH is about constantly getting better, whether you want to or not. If you suck and can't solo this new monster, goodbye. Game over. No more MH for you.

>The question is whether they stop there or whether instead they then go into reverse, removing more and more armor and downgrading as their skills continue to improve.
Why the fuck would you do that when all the good MH games design their endgame content around you having top tier gear? I'm not going to spend 20 minutes soloing a 140 or EX deviant, fuck off.

Fuck you LBG is the shit

People are just too lazy to learn other weapon types. It's not that hard to learn if you just stick to using one for more than like 5 quests. Practice makes perfect.

The problem with looking at speedruns is that they often involve very favorable AI or specific setups, sure. But that's the case for every weapon. An average bow player isn't suddenly going to be exactly as effective as an average SA player despite the TA bow player being literally 3 times faster.

What are the odds of Mh Portable 4th not being fucked by adding World shit?

The average player has more trouble surviving than killing the monster fast. Especially when fighting multiple monsters at once.

I just use every good weapon in a given MH game. That's enough variety for me. Low tier weapons aren't fun.

Look, if they make unique monsters that aren't total fucking pushovers or Frontiershit (read: everyone except Lunastra) then they can bring over all the worldshit they want.

Getting hit a few times does not equal "having trouble surviving", you mongoloid. And especially in World, literally anyone can outperform every single blademaster weapon with a Bow or HBG as long as they have the right gear and enough basic motor functions to point and shoot.

Gunner weapons have never been balanced by any skill requirement, it was only ever a matter of gear. As soon as those weapons are properly geared, they destroy the entire game.

The SA was a good concept executed poorly.

I'm new and what is the best weapon to learn the game with?

Bow does not take skill to outperform every melee weapon with. It has a high skill ceiling, but that's just the cherry on top. The weapon already has an absurdly high base performance level.

Glutton is completely braindead.

Sword n shield or longsword.

I hate how every remotely challenging endgame monster in GU is entirely built to fuck you in the ass for even bothering to bring anything other than valor/adept GS, valor LS or a pierce bowgun. Even the speedrunners don't even bother with it.

4th gen really showed why you can't just keep maintaining the same exact weapon movesets for 15 years with a few updates here or there while they keep escalating monsters more and more. First 140s, and now this shit. The weapons simply aren't designed for this kind of thing.

Hammer is the only weapon worth using. Everything else just feels so boring and weak in comparison.

It's super-fun, dude. I used to think like you, waaah Dreadking is too faaaast and too haaaard, but let me tell you; the feeling you get when you're literally just walking around his explosions and attacks and killing him in record time beats resorting to easy mode.

>Muh not meta equals a handicap

Fuck. Off.

Handcap autists are in every fucking game, and every fucking time you're no fun allowed shitters. There is no such fucking thing as a handicap in a game like this unless you're going in naked

"Not using borken shit to cheese the game" is the only way to play games, because no game is without exploits.

I mean, you're just running a lower damage skill setup, for no benefit. It doesn't affect how you play. It doesn't break the game, because soloing hypers and deviants still takes a decent amount of time even with an optimized skill setup.

Why would you not run crit boost, unless you were deliberately handicapping yourself? Like, seriously?

This is the problem with so-called meta builds. If you only ever fight one monster, fine. If you fight a great variety you'll soon find your fake "meta" to not be effective at all, and you getting melted.

what form of mental illness is this?

You'd have a point if the monster even felt like it was designed around standard MH gameplay, but it doesn't. Its armor set skills even suggest this. You're not supposed to fight it like a typical MH monster, because trying to do that turns the fight into a 20+ minute slog, while I can kill it in less than 10 with a LS, GS or LBG.

lmao

you have no fucking idea what you are talking about

20 minutes of excitement is better than 15 minutes of QTEs.

>I mean, you're just running a lower damage skill setup, for no benefit

There are dozens of different builds and skills and combinations in the game, and you're really rolling over here with your shit opinions saying there's no benefit to anything else? I don't know fuck-o, maybe the benefit is that proccing paralysys ten times on the monster ad going ham on it is fucking dope. Maybe it's that putting that fuck to sleep and bombing the shit out of its head is fun. Maybe I just like dealing big dick elemental damage instead of crit boost after a bit, or going for all partbreaks within the first minute.

Fuck off with your "no benefit" shit.

But it's not 20 minutes of excitement. It's 20+ minutes of playing safe and waiting for it to finally give me an opening, vs 10 minutes of actually getting to do shit.

The harder option isn't always the more fun or interesting one.

Gitting gud.
It's a terribly rare condition that causes immense frustration as you look at the world around you and see people unironically defending 30fps.

How do I git gud at reading the monsters?

I'm a hundred hours in and I still can't for the live of me roll through roars, and I can only really avoid attacks that are either telegraphed or too common.

>Maybe I just like dealing big dick elemental damage instead of crit boost after a bit

...What is the difference? Damage is damage.

There's no way you're playing safe and soloing an EX deviant in under 20 minutes. What the fuck.

b-b-b-but muh crit-hit white flash

I like alternating between this and the charge blade

get better brain
if you've been fighting the same thing for hours and haven't learned tells, ai, and movement patterns then you might be defective, sorry user

I'm 4000 hours in and it honestly depends on the game. I can roll through anything in Tri and P3rd but I can't roll through shit in 3U. IT'S THE SAME GAME

Elemental damage skills take less skill slots, which leaves you space to add other quality of life skills that you might want to try. Unless you have the behemot armor set, shit like critical eye will eat through all your slots.

Did you not even read my post properly? I said 20+ minutes. Which is, by the way, what even speedrunners take for endgame EX deviants with guild/no arts. Because it's a shit playstyle that those monsters aren't designed around.

What's a shoulder tackle?

You're not supposed to run ONLY element damage skills you dolt, even if you're going elementally focused you still run other armor skills too. Especially when crit element exists, you also need to go for affinity on top of your element boosting skills.

Sticking only a single element up skill on your set and nothing else is just going to guarantee that you'll hit for fucking nothing.

based

the move that gives you superarmor and cancels charges because dude powercreep lmao

I didn't know there were speedrunners who play without arts. Fucking respect.

Anyway, playing the game the way you want is more fun than playing it any other way. I don't understand your argument. Would you rather fap for 50 minutes or get kicked in the balls for 5?

>Anyway, playing the game the way you want is more fun than playing it any other way.
Not if you're being punished for doing so.

Also, it's not like I even dislike styles and arts, not at all. I enjoy the top tier weapons, and I like fighting those EX deviants with them, I just dislike how they seem to be designed exclusively around them. It hurts variety.

get no extra rewards for quick kill

Tbh, I would actually like better rewards being tied to faster kill times.

the menial extra damage one does for offensive & crit skills is offset by bad defense / bad QoL. finding a good balance takes more brainmatter

TOOT

What does defense/QoL matter? Just stop getting hit so damn much. And there are basically no useful "QoL" skills.

Damage is always useful.

you sound like you resent the game, I would too if it bored me as much as it clearly bores you

lmao

ok buddy

MH's community is fucking dead and people like you are what killed it

Because I like to run other set of skills rather than staying nearsighted on muh deeps
I'd rather run a setup of sharpness duration, tremor negation, wind pres negation, stun negation, earplugs, and other myriad of skills that make me a sticky, relentless, unfuckable, non budging wall than a tunnelvision of big numbers
You call it handicap, but I ask you who's actually playing it wrong when you completely neglect other aspects of the game just to shave 3 mins on the average run

>but I ask you who's actually playing it wrong when you completely neglect other aspects of the game just to shave 3 mins on the average run
Considering I manage to circumvent any need to run such skills by playing better, and end up being far more effective in the end, I'd say it's you.

>weapon
Look at this fucking pleb that doesnt kick monsters to death

Speedrunning*yawwwnn* is a miserable thing. Been there done that got the T-shirt.

>needing capture guru

>I load my set with crutch armor skills that remove every single game mechanic I don't like
>I'm the one playing the game properly!

What are you on about you sperg, the franchise prints money.

>1-hit stuns a monster in 4U
Psh, nothing personel kid

Capcom didn't add all those extra skills, compounds, resistances, variety in armor and weapons to add spice to the game. No. Nope. No-siree. Crit boost all the way ...zZZZZ

I said the community was dead. Modern MH has no community. Just a bunch of retards jerking each other off and endlessly reposting memes.
