HEY PARTNER

The only reason she exists is so 'your character' can have lines and interactions without actually ever saying anything.
Becuase she's there to say it for you and go RIGHT PARD? and you just nod and grin like the mute retard you are.

She's just a downsy, annoying piece of shit.
I wonder if she was as fucking annoying before translation but I assume so.

MH language makes her considerably less annoying, but it can't fix that ugly mug.

But we never needed that in the old games, what changed?

Western appeal.

You can, in PC.

DUDE FOOD LMAO

why does capcom make white girls so ugly now?

People sulk about silent protagonists for some weird-ass reason.
So they wanted to try and fix that for the big dick MHW extravaganza, I guess.

Handler is for cleaning huntress pits.

Switching to French audio saved my life.

I'm sure there's a joke here to be made about french monhun players.

Its probably technical problems behind them not allowing you to skip cutscenes. They'd have to retroactively add in cutscene skipping for the base game too and depending on how shit's coded that's easier said than done. MH6 will probably allow skippable cutscenes at least.

Honestly it's starting to worry me how much people autistically sperg out over these kinds of companion NPCs. It's like that Navi meme all-over again. I'm told by everyone and their mother how unbearably annoying she is yet when I play the game all she does is sometimes say 'Hey'. Do gamers just have issues or something with NPCs talking to them? Why are you all getting so upset over dialogue you could easily ignore or drown out by the actual game?

The handler actively endangers herself, sometimes because she's such a fat retarded bitch that she won't stop eating, and you have to save her in every cutscene.

Kulve and Behemoth have skippable cutscenes

Why did my cat hug her and not me? What the hell was capcom thinking?

>Handler made to look weak and helpless

What's the issue here?

But I mean, the way she slightly moves her hips when she takes out the quest book...

Are you autistic? People are engaging with the characters. This is how neurotypical people experience fiction.

I played the whole game in Japanese and it didn't help.

>WE did it pard! WE make such a great team!

When you can only feel accomplished in a fantasy world, every single bit of lost glory triggers you. It's pretty much the same reason why autists shame anyone who isn't a "le hardcore gaymer" like them for not playing the game "the right way"

You're not wrong.
It's been two decades now of people meming about how over the top Navi is going HEY LISTEN every two seconds.
But it just isnt true. She isn't that bad, and she never was. It just became this running joke everyone fucking parrots, non stop.

I'm not the one having a conniption every time a fictional character talks to me in a video game.

Hating Navi is just a meme that started decades after OoT came out. Handler is annoying because she's the face of every unskippable cutscene that doesn't allow you to play a multiplayer game with your friends until you listen to her bullshit for the first 5 minutes of every new quest. Dialogue in Monster Hunter has always been a pain in the ass because I just want to get to the gameplay without having to hear about the quest giver's day every single time I talk to her, but it's at its worst in World. And that the excuse given for the delays in porting old MH games to the west was always the translation took so long. Basically, this shit adds nothing to Monster Hunter and actively detracts from it. Of course people hate it.

>decades after OoT came out.
>on its second decade
It took off as soon as it came out and that's why MM has a far better fairy.

I just hate this unnecessary focus on story and cinematic bullshit, MH was never about this to me at least. Now I have to endure this fucking cunt talking non-stop blablablabqwedasdaw when I just want to hunt shit.

i would pay literally any amount of money if at the start of iceborne any of the cuties from the old games got off the boat in the new world and became the new quest giver and the handler gets upgraded to some big job at the base.

I dunno whats up your ass. Handler is cute. As for what she does, she collects and analyzes your findings to hand off to the researchers. When you scrape slime or pick up dung samples, she's the one who organizes that shit. She keeps track of records and your miscellaneous equipment.

The whole reason you HAVE a handler is because the New World expedition is a SCIENTIFIC expedition.

Pay attention to her misc. dialogue, you poltroons.

Guildmarm really didn't, they were just as bad as handler. The only reason they get any attention is these threads are plagued by gen 4 fetuses who never experienced anything better, like Aisha.

How is she so fucking ugly.

Can you at least put multiple people in story quests now? They seemed to have got the message nobody liked that shit by allowing you do the behemoth cutscene in multiplayer and having everyone's hunter show up.

she woulda been 10/10 if she stayed in Astera eating and you and your catbro were the main characters

It's because they are stubborn and want to force us to watch their cutscenes. I watch them all regardless, though.

MHW is pretty much the exact same shit as old monster hunter, only instead of seeing it on a quest board people actually tell you that shit. Except the sassy princess; you'll never get the sassy princess asking for unreasonable monster catches again.

Same shit.

You’re actually defending that shit? Those cutscenes had no reason to be in a MONSTER HUNTER game where the focus has always been on killing the monsters. The fact that they force you to watch these dumbass cutscenes before you can even play with your friends is next level retarded. And then you have to wait until your friends finish that stupid shit too. So yes that shit you love so much ruined the game for me. I’d rather go play some other monster hunter.

Then it’s my choice instead of it being forced down my throat. Why can’t you just enjoy the improvements world brought to the table without feeling the need to defend everything about it.

Because it's a retarded complaint, nitpickity at best.

Probably not. They’d likely have teased him alongside Glavenus, and if two of the FF are in then all of them would be. Mizutsune and Gammoth would require new skeletons too, and they’ve said that they won’t be adding new skeletons for just a single monster which means they’d need to do even more work adding more monsters using their skeleton which they might seem too much work for a DLC and push back to the next new game.

Lmao what an ADD riddled child. Monster Hunter has literally always had cutscenes and story, this is nothing new.

So you stopped playing Monster Hunter in third gen?

Just because a complaint is minor doesn’t mean you should turn around and mindlessly defend what the complaint is about

Just mod her to make her cute

No, I'm only pointing out how ridiculous it is that you're incapable of enjoying a game because of something that only takes up about 1% of your total play time. I'm not saying it isn't valid criticism, but 'RUINED the game for you'? Come tht fuck on.

>Mizutsune and Gammoth would require new skeletons too
Leviathans were 99% done during early development, only problem was Lagi's longass neck bugging out and no good area to include him when they made the Ancient Forest less swampy. And Popos are already in Iceborne so there's Gammoth's basic animations done.
I'm not expecting em unless we actually see them in a trailer but the groundworl has already been set.

Still look like shit

Yeah, she's sloppy and doesn't do much other than paperwork, but every time she fucks up in the battlefield she makes you a better hunter. I think she isn't glorified by most simply because of her hairstyle and outfit.

Change it up a little bit, turn up the sexy and instant wifu material for you to choke on

Das it mane.

Back in the old world they were your liasion with the guild and were the ones with the connections and contacts. If you were poaching or doing other illegal hunting shit they'd likely be the ones reporting you to the guild knights that'd assasinate your with an umbrella or smash your face in with a hammer.
Oh, and
In the new world, they're all so seperated from the guild that handler's probably just filling a 'ceremonial' role and is basically a waste of rations since your taking orders from commander or admiral directly.

She’d have be less of an annoying fuck up. Being a retarded glutton is not a cute quirk. That’s why Guildmarm was a cute dork with her calling you doodle and wanting slimy Brachy cock exploding in her womb. Those are cute quirks.

Guildmarm was the exact same kind of retard. She just had 3DS resolution and couldn't talk.

The jap dub is so bad though! The voice acting is fucking horrid.

But MH language in World sounds so twisted, it doesn't even sound like their fictional gibberish mesh well together grammatically. Gravity Rush had a more pleasant sounding fictional language

I'm sexually into language so a fake language with no real rules kills me

A pleb opinion, but I won't press it.

All french are DB mains

isn't the longsword op?
the problem with practicing is unlike soul games the fights in MHW takes 25+ mins and the majority of that is just running so i get bored after 2-3 tries and drop the game for like 2-3 weeks.

look up how to play your weapon, or don't and keep dying

Speaking of DBs, aren't their move additions in IB kind of lackluster? The evade shot is pretty nice with offensive shots I guess but the new clutch spin attack takes way too long to execute for having the same type of attack as just the default clutch claw attack

Did you all forget about MH4U? Had as many cutscenes as World, made by the same team.

It turns out I was using the weapon wrong. I had no idea how the Kinsect worked, I never used it, and thought was part of my standard gear.

Now, I'm chopping Nergigantes' tails with my Kinsect and constantly double teaming monsters no problem

Everything, since Palicos are on the hunt with you, unless you mean felynes in general which are just extra muscle, housework and cooking, which the handlers likely organize and oversee as it relates to the wellbeing and capability of hunters. The NPCs talking to you is just a formality, they all already have to clear it through the handlers so the quests (including all optional ones) are passed through the system and available for appropriate hunters. They basically say as much each time. She also fills in your map.

MH4 and 4U's story was much better and made me care for its characters more than World's

I mean, it makes sense for hunters to stuff their faces right before a hunt to ensure they're at peak performance in every way possible.
But she's just a handler. She doesn't need to eat like a pig at all. All her food is readily available to her at all times, on and off the hunt. She is a literal parasite.

Charge Blade has a high skill floor with all it's systems it throws up at you, but once that wears off you realise it's an immensely straightforward weapon as there's only really one clear option at each point in the process of using it. The quick start guide is: charge slash until red, store phials, do AED shield charge, repeat 1 & 2 adding in sword charge till monster has opening, then SAED, start again when shield runs out.

It was like 2nd best at launch, just got outclassed by Jhocock and Lunastra stuff.

I don't remember how to fight pink rathians but normally I do one hit (maybe two if the monster is attacking the palico) and then run in circles or away from the monster.

If it flies like crazy, use a flashpod. Sometimes sling shotting it interrupts its attacks. I don't know how to use the LS, but it has attacks with armor.

Wait for an opening. It's not bad that the monster sometimes doesn't let you fill up your gauge. Also, what buffs are you using? Your palico can give you free buffs plus the ones you can put on yourself before the fight

I'm going to guess the threw him out for being a useless retard. Dumbass can't even see Moogles, kupo.

Guys what's the most fun weapon. I tried playing World a few months ago but couldn't find a weapon that I really enjoyed other than Sword and Shield, but the low damage output made every fight take forever and by the time I got later in the story it was tedious as hell trying to hit some of these monsters.

But handler is cute though
in a "Please be patient I have autism" Sara Ryder kinda way

I just smack every monster in the face until it falls over. Then I smack it in the face some more.

It's probably Ebony armor, they usually present the full equipment from one monster in showcases like this.

Greatsword.

But you sound like a worldsperm so you’ll probably like ChargeBlade the most

BING BING

>He plays on a PS4

>most fun

there's no such thing
I like GS because when I land a loaded attack I can literally feel like I'm crushing the skull of an ancient dinosaur, and being so low it gives an actual challange because of timing and being patient
but some may even like the Insect Glaive, dual swords or the bow

>Ryder
>Handler
>Cute
Holy fucking bad taste

Bring flash bombs and flash her whenever she's in the air, that should give you plenty of time to give her a wallop

>Sword and Shield
>low damage output

It's actually not if you know what you're doing. It's not going to be doing any speedruns, but you can do some serious work.
Keep using it if you enjoy it the most. The big advantage is that you can relentlessly attack and re-position with side slashes.
Easy access to mounting attacks any time and anywhere will let you get some early opens, then you take advantage of those openings by spamming your sick-ass aerial shield slam on the monster's face.

But they already showed at SDCC that Ebony armor is just recolored MR Odo armor

MAN do you realize how God-tier World is after you get used to it. I don't care that anyway says it's easier (although not really, just as hard as any post 2nd gen HR game except X which was planned to be pseudo-G-rank since XX was never planned in advance) when it is THIS much more fun and has so many good design changes. It only now hit me that Iceborne's G-rank will have a story on par with Village quests and how that's a first, and that Hall quests are shit content that I had always rushed through since I always played through village 1st. Beyond glad they merged the two into one. I'mk also beyojnd glad with MHW's perfect weapon movesets, even the smallest things make the biggest difference.

If you put your weapon away, start running and hit evade while a monster is attacking, you'll do a dive that looks slow as fuck and hit the ground. During the whole animation you're invulnerable, and not touching the stick let's you stay on the ground (still invulnerable) a little longer.

Also, if it knocks you down and you're not stunned, not touching the stick let's you stay there to avoid an attack that would hit you while raising up.

If you're stunned, there's a "Signal" action that you can put on your radial menu that sometimes makes the palico hit you. It barely does any damage and takes you out of stun. Just mash it and it may work

Just imagine how much butt hurt there would be if Capcom puts handler in World 2 or whatever sequel they have planned.

In my opinion they're trying to address the symptom rather than the cause. Charge Blade is just an overly bloated weapon, and I feel a big part of that is due to the axe mode, which is almost entirely pointless except for letting them say "See? It doesn't even have limited range as a weakness!" in exchange for losing most everything else. Instead of basing it entirely around phial boosted attacks and guard points which we don't need axe mode for, since we're too late for just entirely redesigning the weapon I suppose, they tried to make the axe mode actually worth staying in for a little while, but it doesn't really address how axe mode is just one attack (and I don't even mean SAED), and merely adds one extra step to max damage which will make raw and element CBs identical.

Combining Village and Hub is the best change they made, honestly.
They just need to sort out that dumb cutscene shit, which it doesn't seem like they'll ever do.

>Hall quests are shit content
What the hell are you on?

Pretty good bait my dude.

>he thinks I’m autistic enough to give a shit about a bullshit company like nintendo because I didn’t start with World

No worldsperm, I don’t own a switch nor play Zelda. I did play the fucking series called Monster Hunter though, sorry you missed it

think

World has many more convoluted and vertical and open areas. It's much harder than previous games, but I'm not sure if I prefer it or not.
That said I don't really abuse items outside of the heavy rng or gimmick dragons, so maybe it's easier without restrictions.

I'm sorry, you already found the greatest weapon. Now you must master it so as to eat your words about low damage output. I may also suggest Switch Axe as an enjoyable weapon but none truly compare to the Sword and Shield.

WAHOOOOO

Cope more nincel.

Odo lance still remains as the best craftable though.

Honestly the CB could just be a giant shield you swing around and still work

Apparently that annoyed a lot of people.

What pissed me off from the start was at the beginning when the ship turns on its side your character reaches out for the Handler but not your Palico.

>I literally just met this dumb bitch. Why the fuck would I reach for her and not my talking cat

So that you could hear her insightful commentary during the rest of the game.

Any master's touch + razor sharp + 100% affinity lance CHADS here?
UNLIMITED WHITE SHARPNESS you dont need wetstones when you sharpness never goes down

Handler arguably does more work than the hunter. Think of ALL the paperwork she has to do.

Literally every endgame build for every weapon is 100% affinity, White Sharpness, Masters Touch.
That's one of World's biggest problems.

In her summer outfit she definitely looks more fuckable.

Still annoying as shit, but those thighs though..

every time she says PARD i get a little hard

same but with AIBOU

>You’re actually defending that shit?
Based smoothbrained retard.

I had to take a fap break when she was all concerned in the final mission.

BING

None of that post is bait.
And I didn't articulate myself well, what I meant to say is that by beating Village HR you should automatically have access to Guild GR, instead of being forced to do the entirety of Guild's LR and HR which at this point (for someone who completed village 1st) is just mindless filler. Same for the other way around if you're one of those peer-pressured subhumans who goes straight to Guild quests upon starting the game to play with friends and then later on you'll have all this mindless easy filler of Village's LR and HR.

Guild quests aren't inherently shit, just that the separation of the two is shit.

>World has many more convoluted and vertical and open areas.
Only on the forest map.

4th gen is much more shitty and unsuited for vertical/slopped terrain. Bows and Bowguns were designed with flat maps in mind, and the aiming systems were mostly just for quick and easy flick-ups to hit a high head, 90% of the time you just aimed your body at a monster's direction. But now that everything is at different levels I absolutely couldn't stand constantly having to aim with Bow's SHIT third person reticule, made the class unplayable for me when I loved it in 2nd/3rd gen. And with Bowguns I had scope in 100% of my shots.
Also Insect Glave, aside from Pre-World's absolute shit kinsect feeding system, is also infuriating to get extracts due to the terrain and any monster with high heads (Jho, Glavenus) since the bug always flies horizontally, and you can't immediately shoot it by aiming.

World:
-Hold button to aim
-Press another button to shoot Kinsect

4U:
-Hold button to aim
-Release then quickly press the SAME button to shoot pheromones
-Pray the monster doesn't move at all and pheromones hit the place you wanted (if they don't you MUST repeat this step lest you want to fuck you next 2minutes of harvest)
-Finally shoot your slow as fuck (until mid G-rank I heard) Kinsect

Fuck that.

MHW is fine and Iceborne is being made by GU devs so it's shaping up to be one of the best

I like her, but I played with MH language after the first hour or so.
Japanese VA is worse than the English one

MH language is fine for older games when there's a few grunts or something when they are just supposed to be doing the whole "pretending to talk" thing, but for actually spoken dialogue it sounds weird as fuck compared the complexity of the actual subtitles. They sound like goddamn cavemen.

All the english voice actors in this game annoy the shit outta me except for Mr. Batou. I mean Raiden. I mean the Admiral.

Fuck.

MHW isn't fine and Iceborne beta made it seem like it's gonna be more of the same.

>Could have had a cute femboy partner
>Instead we get this big nosed bitch

Lame.

Whatever helps you sleep at night. 13 million isn't something Capcom's gonna ignore while GU sold like shit

Yeah yeah whatever user, when you're at that stage everything is brainless.

Guess I'm not in the target audience anymore then. I hope the new fans enjoy their series at least.

Personally I wouldn't mind a sword and an arm blade that could attach to the sword after charging it up for big phial attacks, but it could just be the arm blade for extra uniqueness points. It's still just incredible that by giving it two forms and transforming mechanics that they actually manage to make CB LESS interesting and unique. Not to mention cramping SA's style, the new power up even just makes it feel like a ghetto SA.

I think they're reasonable, I was honestly shocked to hear that the Japanese dub was worse for once

Be honest, you wouldn't have gotten far without her help, let alone her cooking.

Nigga the fucking 3rd rank house is the MOST comfy in the entire series.

Fucking dumbass, handler is being PAID to look out for you...
Do you think she'll do it for free?

But your cook is a palico.

It's a cat, they always land on their feet.

Because I had forgotten that Village ends in HR, and that, IIRC, in HR-only games Village stops at LR (which makes World already the best HR MonHun to date by that alone).

If I remembered that G-rank was Hall-only then yeah I'd just have played Hall, it's my bad. But then I wouldn't have experienced all the village transitions, characters and special encounters (like Gore on the boat or Everwood before you finally fight it). I'd still be missing on some of the fun either way. World's merging of the two makes it (and by "it" I'm mostly talking about this next decade of World-based games, not just World in particular) such a better experience on a fundamental level.

His name is the Meowscular Chef you fucking pleb.

In all seriousness though, who thought all these cat puns were funny? My meowster... Meowlotov Cocktail...

He probably wanted to go prove his own worth by exploring the new world

And then another preternaturally gifted god hunter pops up to show him up again

>AKA the extended tutorial
Dude, then he has to go and fight the exact same monsters for an entire 2 ranks lmao. You gotta be retarded to think this.

I miss Neko (means cat)

As opposed to what, AED spam in 4U? I don’t see much of a difference.

Yeah...
Getting dumped by Capcom does feel bad though. We had such a good thing going for over 10 years.

Of course, she's my wife. But I like to feed her my prey anyway.

What weapon doesn’t boil down to “use the most powerful attack when you can?”

>Even P3rd house is better.

Show me.

french dub was pretty decent, tried to switch to english but I remembered that it was a japanese game so I switched to Jap but it wasn't much better; same thing for ooga booga language

GRAMMEOWSTER CHEF

I don't think they're funny, but they are cute as fuck.

it's just shitty pun, probably the same in japanese

I thought Fiver Bro was a real player character when I first started playing this game. Then I started noticing that none of the NPCs have actual names, just titles and descriptions of them.

Boy do I feel stupid.

Blatantly untrue. There's about 3 and a half hours of cutscenes in World to beat the game, where as 4U has about one and a half. The DLC in World makes it even worse (Especially the Witcher DLC which is like 15 minutes by itself)

Did you just not bother reading half of the post or something? Play them concurrently. You get the best of both that way.

What it should really be is a pile driver that doubles as a shield, contextualize the shield thrust into aed as readying the drive and activating it. Gut most of the axe shit, no one uses it and allow for more creative weapon designs since most CBS look pretty similar

>>All weapons are boring as fuck and too simplistic, so many mechanics, moves and combo strings that I thought started in 4th gen but were in fact World stuff
World dumbed down all the weapons greatly by expanding their movesets. That sounds backwards, but so many weapons in World are incredibly simple because their new moves are too useful so there's no reason to use the older ones. They just look more complicated on the surface.

They didn't want to appeal to the waifufags

God, the Caravan was such a comfy fucking group. I know Monster Hunter isn't a fucking story heavy game but the narrative of the Caravan just going from town to town picking up new members and adding new carts to their group was just really comfy

Need help on a Lance set I'm doing. Usually I always have over 500 defense even without buffs or decos, but then when I was experimenting on new gear combinations, it dropped to below 500. I have all these gear augmented and fully upgraded yet its always below 500. What the fuck happened?

Even then it's just passable still. I feel like the character design in general is ugly.

why odogaron female armor is so fanservice then?

>we got the shitty handler instead of the based qt
its not fair bros.....

>Actually caring about defense
Man, I hate this part about world. When did the community suddenly decide that getting enough health boosts and defense was necessary? It's an action game, just don't get hit. You even have moxie in case if you mess up.

I still use golfswing and so should you. Scrub.

Nah.
Even the second tier house in MHW is better than the third one.

The difference (and what makes weapons fun and interesting) is how often the most powerful attack for that situation changes and how many of those variable situations you have. With CB it's just: do charge slash if you need phials because it's so much better and efficient than every other move in every situation, then after you do the powerup routine you just sit around feeling punished for not using the phials you get because they charge so fast yet only SAED or full ED strings are worthwhile so they just sit there.
That's kind of what I mean by arm blade, I'm just a sword fan at heart but having it be something like that lets them keep and focus on the phials and guardpoints which are what really set the weapon apart. I don't think it should even have a normal guard, just parries all day.
That's retarded.

I think that's meant to be the point. Our hunter is serious and competent and we get the retard.
Ace Cadet is a fucking useless moron and gets the Serious Handler.

MH Language has been butchered in world, sounds like fucked Japanese.

patrician taste

I wish we could get the serious handler instead. She could seriously handle me anytime.

You actually have to have over 500 defense and 3 health boosts if you're doing AT Nerg, otherwise all his dives would OHKO you. Its even worse if you're a gunner

I like it this way, reminds me of G-rank

For every post hating on handler there is an user furiously fapping to her.

>Cutting your damage in half for no reason
Alright man. Golf swing doesn't even have the massive stun utility it used to have compared to other moves so what's the point? I guess you can hit Deviljho's face when he's not enraged easier?

>She could seriously handle me anytime.

Get out.

I've been doing both.

It’s been like this since at least 4U if not earlier. What are you talking about? GQ 140 groups would straight up kick all gunners (hame runs aside) because people didn’t want to deal with random bullshit one shots ten minutes into a mission.

But in the old games everyone would just eat for moxie and play around not getting hit. Moxie would give you another chance so it's not like you had to play completely perfectly.
Is it just a problem with playing with randoms and not trusting them to play well or something?

Adept and Brave CB are stupidly fun. Adept gets charge slash guard point on top of the guard being a parry and Brave is stupid fun with being able to step forward on top of it being a guard point

Nah, its just that Nerg would do multiple dives in one second so unless you got a shield or temporal mantle, it will kill you

It has been stated by the other handler that she DOESN'T DO any paperwork.

I played 4U and I NEVER had a group kick anyone for having too low defense or for being a gunner. People would get kicked for having no wystones or too low HR instead.
My experience is that unless if there was some sort of giant red flag (Like no wystones) everyone would try hunting once, and then if someone was clearly playing badly then they would get kicked.

Having handler do paperwork is a terrible misuse of her hips/talents.

She's cute and goofy. Reminds me of my sister before the accident..

people do that all the time though

>ten minutes into a mission
140 GQ's would usually go so fast that you would usually either fail or beat the mission before then. Either because people sucked and they carted instantly or because everyone was good and killed the monster super fast. There was rarely an in between.

Reminds me of mine AFTER the accident.

What kind of accident? F-For science. I just want my sister back

Kek

Trampled by Emus.

I don’t get why you’re pretending like SAED is free. Unless you know it’s going to stagger, it’s very unsafe. It’s like saying GS is only TCS. Yes, that’s what you’re always going for, but you have to pick the right situation. That’s why AED is still useful.

It’s almost always unsafe to SAED against AT Nergi past phase 1 for example.

It wasn't my experience, and I did tons of GQ's with randoms all the time. I have over a thousand hours and I never saw it once (Or at least I never knew someone got kicked because the host didn't like his defense).
There are lots of retards who kicked people for playing weapons they thought were bad, so just because some people had some arbitrary rules doesn't mean it applied to everyone.
I'm a hammer main and I actually heard lots of people were kicking hammer users for using a bad weapon (The early days of 4U were especially bad) but I never got kicked for using it. I think you just heard of some people vocally complaining about picky room hosts and that's it. Either that or maybe it's your own rule, but then that's on you, not the community.

French audio is even worse, user

well either you're extremely lucky for not experiencing something that happened in almost every single lobby i joined, or you just have selective memory so that you can win an argument over the internet

Back in 4U the "Meta" most people had was to build purely offensive skills (Because all the good japanese players were doing it), so it's actually the complete opposite. If you were clearly building towards defense people would call you a leech and kick you.

Is the World expansion going to fix monster clipping through environments and inconsistent slope sliding?

That’s not how I remember it. I seem to recall an ass ton of double Rajang hunts that could stretch out over a long time if the fuckers kept ending up in the same areas.

And subsequently gunners that would end up carting instantly because they’d get one shot by the side to side hop in a dumb way.

Well it happened all the damn time. It really is nothing new.

>Spamming big bang
The damage output is shit unless you can get to the 4th hit and you're a retard
It's a way to cash in with big damage when you KO or trap a monster

>Every single lobby
Sounds like you're the one with selective memory if you think almost everyone would have an arbitrary rule like that.

i use elemental hammer and do multihit spin attacks exclusively

It's a bit better than it was in base Gen but it's one of the weaker iterations. Guardpoints in this game aren't like a launchpad for options, instead your actions continue as usual. There's at least a neat Chainsaw hunter art which is fairly versatile, and Valor is kind of fun since you get a Burst 3 swing and GP dashes. Adept is nice too, but Striker is the strongest if you can use it properly.

MH4U's iteration is closest to MHW but you have to use guardpoints over regular guarding to combo into an AED.

How did they make her ugly but also sexually appealing?
Like, she doesn't have an attractive face but I still want to fuck her raw.

Blast hammer is my favorite build in the game.

Sample size of 3, but there’s two of us saying we saw this versus your one. Defense has previously been important because people want completed runs, not speed clears.

>Win an argument
Why care about that? We're both just using anecdotal evidence.
Look, I can definitely believe that there are people out there, maybe whole communities that say "You need at least X defense to join our group", but that wasn't my experience at all. I made no attempt to focus on defense in my build and had zero issues with it, nor did I hear of people actually saying defense was an important stat at G-rank. At most I heard some people say they liked the defense augment on weapons but that's about it.

>One
You mean two.

Can't wait for IB so I can use a blast Hunting Horn with that sweet double bass spin.

Keep reading, retard

That's why you have big bang and brutal big bang. Duh.
Ok fine, if you want you can say it's two different moves if you want, then it's three whole moves.

Wow people even shit on FU and 4U now
I really don't know if these people are worldsperm or FUboomers that think Wolrd is perfect in every single way

if some dickweed joins a 140 GQ lobby with a 150 defense clownsuit he's probably going to get kicked for having low defense. If their defense is absurdly low it's an indicator that they are a leech and will most likely triple cart and waste everyone's time. No one is saying anything about an arbitrary minimum defense requirement.

>Almost every single lobby
So are you saying in almost single lobby some low defense person tried to join and they got kicked, and then the host specifically said they got kicked for it? Otherwise you would never know.

Are you sure YOU'RE not the person kicking people for having too low defense? I never had problems with people demanding high defense either.

How do I get the outfit for the Steam version of MHW?

Dare I?

But that's totally different then. If someone has 150 defense then the issue is that they're un-upgraded high rank armor and have no idea what they're doing.
The defense isn't the issue, the issue is that they clearly don't know what they're doing. If you could have godly offensive stats at the cost of only having 150 defense then it would be an issue of kicking people for having low defense.

> No one is saying anything about an arbitrary minimum defense requirement.
The very first post I replied to was someone literally complaining about how their lance set was below 500 defense for some reason. That is clearly someone bringing up an arbitrary defense requirement. If you replied to me to say 4u was the same, then clearly that's what you were trying to bring up as well.

So THAT'S where that pukei-pukei handler pic comes from.

Defense isn't the issue then moron, it's the fact they got blatantly carried and can't play well.
If defense was the issue, it you would ok with inviting a minimum HR person with clearly save-edited maxed out white fatalis gear who doesn't have wystones because at least he would have high defense.

I didn't say it was free at all though. The issue is everything else that costs phials comes out at such a similar speed and low safety as well as doing less dps that there's very little point or moments where you would use them because either you have to stay safer and will get more damage by staying on the monster or you knocked the thing down so you can SAED. GS has TCS, but it also has multiple patterns of the three CSs each working best for different openings, as well as tackle letting you mitigate damage at meaningful times on top of being important for moving up the combo for said patterns. CB is just far less intricate than it pretends to be despite having all these tools. Hell my favourite thing in the entire moveset is those sliding slashes and they're basically pointless, pun intended.

berry :DDD

you can't do it, kid - tier

Reading comprehension. The post about the lance that started this is someone not understanding why their defense was lower than expected. That is not an arbitrary defense requirement, you’re jumping to conclusions.

Now, separately from that post, we’re talking about the importance of defense in this game series. I’m giving examples of how it’s not just World community that cared about defense, it was also a common in 4U. And it makes sense.

If some fucker running fortify double-carts purposefully at the beginning for sick speedrun strats, people are likely not going to want to play with them. This is just the extreme example of a glass cannon build, so I don’t think it should come as a surprise that people playing Monster Hunter games pay attention to defense because most people just want to complete hunts.

Maybe if you could explain why.

That's a speedrun strat for World, not 4U.

Unpopular opinion: She's actually cute

Defense has always been useful in Monster Hunter but literally no one good gave a shit about trying to get very high defense until World. If you had an armor set with good skills and then upgraded it that would be more than enough defense for anyone.
If you built specifically FOR defense, you were a shitter, that's how it was in 4U. Are you sure you're not just a world baby?

MR death stench

>Fortity speedrun strats
>in 4U
Good job outing yourself out as a World Baby. Maybe if you were doing some of the incredibly long multiplayer quests solo, but you would never see it in multiplayer or in GQs.

World definitely has an issue with "Arbitrary defense" requirements. I have even watched streamers who refuse people unless they have health boost +3 and 500 defense who keep perpetuating these requirements.

Imagine being offended by an NPC.

I do agree that there’s no reason to ever use ED except maybe getting rid of swarms against Leshen. But I still maintain that the complexity of building up and managing resources on CB is more involved than the other weapons., even if the usage of those resources is very linear. Maybe Savage Axe changes that.

What's the fucking point? You might as well get the hunt over with faster. That's how everyone I talked to looked at it too.

It's nuts how much better 4U was at making a story and a cast of likeable, memorable characters when it didn't even have half the cutscene length or any voice acting. What the fuck happened that made them drop the ball so hard with World?

Literally read this post: Nowhere does it say anything about 500 defense being a requirement. The only mental gymnastics here is your massive fucking leap in logic from one (1) turtle complaining that his numbers are different than he remembers to
>now the community cares about arbitrary defense requirements, nobody in MH before World EVER cared about defense

If nobody cared about defense, nobody would have any problems with people doing super risky speed strats in groups. This example of the World mechanics is to show that it’d off-putting for anyone reasonable if a rando jeopardized a successful hunt with risky strategies, which is what playing with extremely low defense is. If someone does the super risky strat, a lot of people are not going to give them the benefit of the doubt and just not play with them, even if they’re doing a strategy that could be optimal. I’m trying to show that this is a reasonable common rationale, and this has existed at least as far back as 4U when people would check GQ 140 sets.

Homosexuality is accepted nowadays, it's okay user we will understand.

>the complexity of building up and managing resources on CB is more involved than the other weapons
It would be if the moveset properly conveyed that, but that's my entire problem with the weapon, it just doesn't and any potential complexity is just entirely surface level due to how limited your options for managing them really end up. I already talked about my IB beta experience with SA mode but I see it doing little more than just adding an extra step to the same process, or if axe becomes strong enough to warrant using until the shield runs out while swapping back to keep phials topped up then just turning it into, ironically, an SA rip off.

>If nobody cared about defense, nobody would have any problems with people doing super risky speed strats in groups.
Then the issue would be someone running a heroics build, not someone with low defense.
No one in 4U was looking at you for having a enough defense, what they were actually looking for was:
1. That you were wearing G-rank armor, and therefore had good skills and could kill G-rank monsters
2. You knew that upgrading exists, so you know how you can upgrade your armor

Once again, the issue is NOT defense. Players aren't caring about how much defense have, they are looking for red flags that will tell them "This person does not know how to play the game".

If someone had a perfectly good end game set that just happened to have low defense, that's fine because you would know the player has a good chance of being reasonably skilled. What you're talking about are people who clearly don't know what they're doing (And therefore it doesn't matter how high their defense stat is) or people using clearly unnecessary gimmicky and risky strats.

Think of a situation like this. Let's say there was a pity mechanic where if you failed way too many quests, the game would give you an armor set with 1000 defense. If you saw someone join your hub with it on, would you let them join you? Of course you wouldn't, because the issue isn't their defense, the issue is that they're clearly a bad player. That's what you're bringing up.

You would have a point if good armor sets for skills didn't also have good enough defense when upgraded. The fact that any good skill set has no reason not to have decent defense makes everything you're saying pointless.

i just browsed Yea Forums until they were over lmao

If you could trade the Handler for one NPC who would it be?

Handler.

>Nowhere does it say anything about 500 defense being a requirement
>He mentions 500 three times
>He is clearly stating that the issue is that it is below 500, not lower than expected
user just stop. You're embarrassing yourself.

It is a matter of defense though, because people without enough defense are a bigger risk.

Here’s a capcom-unity thread from 4 years ago with a bunch of people talking about kicking people with too little defense:
capcom-unity.com/monster_hunter/go/thread/view/146585/30477359/lv140-apex-monster-guild-quests-kicking-hunters

Now, you might say they’re all shitters, and they very well could be. But the point is that this never started with World, it’s been happening for a while.

Handler

Serious Handler. Or literally any other female character. Hell, any other male character would do just fine too.

Yes, and I agree. There are people out there with arbitrary rules to who can join their hubs and who can't. There are morons who ban people just for using certain weapons, so not having enough defense isn't a surprise either.

What I have been complaining about this entire time is that in World, these defense requirements aren't just a few random shitters, now it's generally agreed upon that defense requirements should be a thing. A big reason for this is because many streamers (Ex. Maximilliondude who had 10k+ viewers for World) demanded defense requirements and health boost for Behemoth, and now many players believe that health and defense are necessary stats that should be built in order to do end game content.

Shitters are one thing, but the problem with World is that it attracted the MMORPG crowd who believe everyone needs to build a certain amount of defense just because they think it's an MMORPG.

Regarding Iceborne CB.
I'm a little worried that chainsaw moves will not do anything for stun phial CBs and CB will be stuck doing saed spam.
Will I have to give up on stun phials and just play elemental only while also hoping saed not outshining elemental chainsaw also?

>because people without enough defense are a bigger risk.
The thing is that in 4U, it didn't matter how much defense you had unless if it was terribly low or incredibly high.
Whether you had 500 defense or 800 defense, so much shit will one shot you anyway that it's pointless to sacrifice any offense for. That's why anyone who thought defense was something you had to build towards was clearly terrible at the game.

just spam saed bro

youtube.com/watch?v=pTWtHR9AuM8
this gives me hope

I’m legit hoping elemental CB becomes the new meta outside of Kjarr Ice. Impact’s too good and it’s part of the reason why CB feels so simple, because phial explosions ignore hitzones. Impact should be versatile, but elemental should be specialized and better.

>THIS is what the white race has to offer

LOL

>loon
right in the madhouse where you belong, good thinking

This isn’t true though, there’s a big difference from being one shot by Blanka ball, and one shot because Rajang literally walked into you. It was a big deal at the time.

Brapblight

I don’t follow the streamer stuff (or really the community), but I don’t get where these complaints are coming from. Every top end meta set in World is 100% offense (see Metahemoth). But when it comes to some monsters, I fully agree that you should have enough health to not be one shot. Maybe you’re godlike and can do ATX without heatguard or avoid ever getting hit or blocking AT Nerg, but if you do cart and ruin the hunt because you didn’t swap %6 affinity for 30 health, now you’re the shitter.

Not only do you not need that much defense to tank his kelbi walk (I'm pretty sure 500 was enough), but Rajang would enrage in like the first 10 seconds of the fight and stop using it assuming anyone in your party actually hit him a few times, so I don't see how it was a big problem. Maybe at worst a HBG could get caught by surprise.
I could see a better argument for the back hop maybe, but he did that when enraged so you would actually need somewhere around 750 armor for that, so it was much better to just be good and know it's coming, rather than slap his ass without thinking.

>not seeing that that is clearly western style
do you even read doujins user?

Gunner had like half defense in 4U remember, they’d die to GQ 140 stiff breeze blowing them over. They capped out at like 600 defense with every buff and a blademaster helmet.

>under the furs with pukei-pukei to keep warm during the ice storm

The thing is that at 140 GQ there were maybe only a few extra moves that could one shot them that couldn't one shot blade masters, so it shouldn't have been a big problem.

The real problem with gunner randoms was that they were just overly risky because they aren't used to being one shot yet and they have a lot of commitment in certain animations. When a HBG reloads because he thinks he's safe across the map and gets hit by a laser, it's not his defense killing him.

>calling Western garbage hentai

Behemoth is a literal MMORPG fight.

Field Team Leader, the Commander or the Admiral.

Mostly the Admiral cause I really like the voice actor. Between this game and the Mortal Kombat series I can't help but think of Batou from Ghost in the Shell every time I hear his voice.

It has MMORPG mechanics, but you definitely don't need to play it like an MMORPG. My friends and I hunted him just like any other monster just fine.
What I hate are people who legitimately believe you should have 1 """Tank""" 1 """Healer""" and 2 DPS or something. Those people make me sick, and I hate how World encourages it with the Behemoth fight.

Yeah, whatever. Just don't touch my materials.
