Actual Monster Hunter thread

Imagine if Ryozo actually learned good game design and this time Lao actively hunts you

I loved World and haven't played any of the other ones, although I understand they're quite different, I still want to experience a "new" one. What MH games are available on PC, and are worth playing. I understand that it'll be emulation, but I don't have handhelds or any consoles.

XX, 3U, and 4U emulates fine, and you can play online too. If you only want to play one of them, play 4U. XX has more content but its braindead easy due to hunter arts and styles. If you want more content and variety, XX. If you want difficulty and peak MH, 4U. If you want SOUL, play 3U or FU

Would anyone else prefer the subspecies less "flashy" in comparison to their counterparts?
I kinda miss when we had subspecies like Baleful Gigginox or Glacial Agnaktor that didn't feel much more special or powerful than regular variants, just different really.
It's all speculation for now but I can't imagine regular Odo has the same menace as its subspecies, which is bigger, has more attacks with wider range and elemental attacks too

Is critical status a wasted stat?

>98 monsters
holy fuck, that's exactly what I'm looking for. Sorry for spoonfeeding, but is there any specific emu i should be looking for, and can I play in 1080 144hz or should i lock at default

That's only because they're MR only. Next game, when everything gets scaled back to LR/HR, they'll be less impressive.
G versions always outstrip the regular ones until later.

There you go.

Yes

He eats Ore and rocks, so he's basically a Dodogamadrome.

I bet Fatalis was just gonna ask for some directions.

All of the subspecies are infinitely superior to their base forms and that's kind of the point, the World subspecies were made to make shitty monsters cool

JHO is a fucking green migger

The one under dragon bone is alatreon

Why is S&S always so shit.

I really like this guy's work. The model increased the thickness and muscular build of Fatalis as a whole. It makes him look less like a lanklet and more intimidating. He also shortened the neck.
I hope Capcom uses this as a basis for Fatalis because it looks a lot better as far as proportions go versus the 2nd gen model they've been using forever.

DLC monsters weren't shown in the list. Sorry.

That head and neck are huge
That Fatalis must have serious back pain

Can someone explain the difference between subspecies and variants? I think they’re cool I just don’t see why the different classifications exist

His adjusted design already seems to be at play

the Creator's Model looks nice but I wish Fatalis would have the wings redesigned to be like Alatreon's which connect around the tail. Ala's wings design make it look so much more intimidating by how much they cover when spread out

Subspecies are monsters that branch off from the main monster and evolve down a different path. It started with mostly color changes, but eventually became things like living in different environments, having different affinities/status/weaknesses/elements, and lore stuff that doesn't really matter beyond ecology videos. Like how Tobi-kadachi is thunder, but Viper is sharp poison.
Rare species are subspecies that are just considered rare in the Monster Hunter world. Usually they only show up in special maps like the tower.
Variants are the exact same species at the main monster only stronger and angrier with some new moves, but generally live in the same habitat, look the same, and have the same element or status ailment. Like Raging Brachy that's covered in his own blast slime and experiences spontaneously combustion. He's still blast though.

You haven't finished the game yet.

all video games are basically that. Maybe MH games aren't for you? just play another game

When you eventually die one day will your obituary say how you spent 10,000 hours farming in a game that's not even an MMO?

so you're saying that grinding is the reason you play monster hunter?

I'd rather not waste hundreds of hours to maybe get a drop. I got sick of that garbage after playing Tri and 4. Grind is one thing, but MH takes the concept of grind to a new retarded level.

Video games is a wast of time.

You mad or something?

look who's talking. Keeps playing games he hates but doesn't play another game

the longevity and motivation to keep playing should come from the challenge, not fucking grind, you're actually braindead if you defend it

Who said I hated the game? I just said senseless thousand hour grinds are for aspies like you.

Is this the new phase in baiting?

Attached: 1564445479676.gif (330x166, 2.11M)

You don't have to grind you know. It's 100% optional. The game shits out enough materials for you to clownsuit your way through.
Grinding is only for maximum optimization of top end equipment.

You think criticizing grind in MH is new?

There's been a lot of MH shills lately so I wouldn't count them as bait, they're probably serious

I prefer it to "LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE"

>You don't have to grind you know. It's 100% optional.
You can beat the came in an afternoon, of course most of the endgame content is inconsequential. But don't pretend like it's anything except an MMO simulator

To be fair, some monsters are completely broken. I was doing AT vaal and he one hit killed me with his beam even though he as facing the other way.

You could, you know, have fun fighting monsters until you get bored.

The ultimate "is it good" test
1.) Cheat in a piece of gear you want
2.) Is the game still enjoyable?

Last game that was more fun to cheat than play normally was GTA:SA

>Worst
Zorah. Because I barely fight that faggot, it's just back scratches and pebble throwing as I watch a turtle slowly walking towards a wall for half an hour.
>Best
Gore magala. Faggot actually having a drop of personality during 4 makes it really memorable to me besides being a cool 4-armed aids dragon.

Maybe one game in every 5 years is that good.

>Maybe one game in every 5 years is that good.
Speaks volumes about the industry

>cheat Behemoth parts
>game only gets better
In fact yes, it ends up being more enjoyable. I will gladly cheat again when Silver Rathalos hoards the meta.

>When you eventually die one day will your obituary say how you spent 10,000 hours farming in a game that's not even an MMO?
So just grab someone else’s save file and just play through the hunts you want to experience if you’re that impatient.

This is why MH games never get ported to PC. I'm glad saves are going to be server-side in Iceborne

Attached: 1564346609885.png (250x448, 206K)

I can't speak to the personal experience of it but I stopped needing anything a long time ago and still play. So I'd assume.

>Worst monster
Everytime i fight Lunastra i feel miserable, her hp pool is also titanic for no reason
>Best Monster

It's not that fun being able to tank LR monsters

The absolute best version

MHW version when?

MHW needs to be actually difficult 1st

From World? Lunastra a shit, Nerg and Azure Rath a best.

The only time i could see something similiar in MHW would be with AT Nergigante's slam

>worst
K H E Z U
it's not even a fight, it's just a test of patience. the thing doesn't even look or move like a monster, it's like a shitty broken down animatronic.

>best
Probably Gore, I enjoy his frenzy gimmick and it's just a good fight overall.

>It's not that fun being able to tank LR monsters
Doesn’t that already happen if you stop and grind for better armor and weapons at your respective rank? I remember Bulldrome in MHFU got a lot easier after I traded in my starting armor and LS for an Iron Katana + Battle Armor build.

It’s just that that way you get the satisfaction of overcoming a roadblock on your own.

I don’t know about my best or worst monster, but one of my most memorable fights was when I soloed the one-eyed garuga in Freedom Unite. Mind you, due
To how G-rank worls in the game, difficulty is always scaled to 4 players even if doing the quest solo.

Now, I’m pretty good at fighting Garuga, but the thing was a beast. I went through all my Megapotions, then through all my restock of crafted megapotions and potions on-site. I even had to gather a few herbs from the map just to stay alive.

Meanwhile I wasn’t idle. But since basically nothing but purple sharpness could cut this Garuga I went through every single one of my whetstones.

And so, with 5 minutes left, not one health item of whetstone left, I just charged at him, thinking it was all lost. It charged at me, and if it did hit me I would be out for the third time and it would all be over.

However, my weeb saber struck true on te beast’s beak just mere instants before I was made to eat shit. And so, it died and ate shit, rather than me being the shit-eater.

It was pretty cool all in all.

You fucking idiots seriously think that only one person on the planet doesn't like the grind in Monster Hunter? You people are actually going insane.

anyone have the edit of this where a GS user walks up to the innocent dodogoma and starts charging up an attack

Ideally, yes. As long as the original is more aggressive or damaging in some way. I think it's dumb for subspecies to be outright replacements. Who's to say, maybe MR Anjanath has more unique tricks up his sleeve that we don't know about.

>it's not even a fight, it's just a test of patience. the thing doesn't even look or move like a monster, it's like a shitty broken down animatronic.
Nah, he’s just a mid-game tutorial for gunner builds. The real tedium is that he up and flies away ad nauseum.

I’d nominate Bulldrome as worst since it’s literally just a giant Bullfango that’s there to teach you to either git gud at dodging or upgrade your equipment.

>you can't enjoy a game and criticize it at the same time
When did you give up user?

>2 wrongs make a right!

Whoever you're all shitting on has a point. The Kulve Taroth drop rates are too low. Grinding shouldn't require you to do the exact same thing over and over again to the point it's not fun anymore.

I'm actually about to fight Khezu for the first time on GU. How fucked am I? I have full set of tetsucabra and a rogue CB.

He's not especially hard, he's just the most awful fight in the series.

Another one of my best hunts was when I took down both Silverlos and Goldian at the same time in the small arena.

Now, let me tell you, it was completely insane, it was still scaled for 4 peepz, so it was tough, but not nearly as much of a struggle as Garuga, even though I really think that this one was the harder fight by far, what with the tiny arena I cannot escape from and two g-rank monsters that both fight differently.

But that day I was on a roll and performed really well, managing to take both on while sharpening / healing / etc.

I like the monsters yet hate having to kill one 243 times for the chance to get an item I want. Is this really that hard for you to grasp?

I havent played world (pc version) for like 6 months, since fucking AT Great Jagras (the best)
Did i miss much since then?

His tells are like an hour long so if you're on top of your guard points he really can't do shit to you
He's just one of those monsters that's obnoxious to fight with some weapons but a total joke to fight with others, like a lot of Gen 1/2 stuff

You misunderstand. Your complaint isn't with PCfags, but cheaters as a whole. You could've been complaining about cheaters in general across numerous systems for over a decade now, but instead you chose to complain about cheaters on this one single platform which you don't even play on. You're just looking for a reason to shitpost about PCfags. The underlying purpose of your post has nothing to do with cheating.

>I'm actually about to fight Khezu for the first time on GU. How fucked am I?
Didn’t Khezu get ceiling clinging introduced from 3rd gen on? Might want to make a decent bow and stock up on fire ammo if you’re not confident in your abilities to read openings.

Also, get high grade earplugs for Khezu if they’re available at your point in the game. You will hate life a lot less if you have them.

PC get Iceborne in January. All the events are up right now, and you can get summer fest stuff for the first time on PC.

People will always cheat regardless of the platform and you're a fool for caring and making an issue out of it.

What's the build for Empress Shell Styx that everyone seems to be running for ATKT?

Y’know, I think that you people care far too much about the grind. After so much time playing the game, it honestly seems more and more pointless each day that passes. After all, it only makes your numbers biggerer. It doesn’t maje you play any better or be actually any more effective. That’s the beauty of MH, from the first second you pick the controler, you’ve got all the power.

Therefore, ‘grinding’ becomes a mere excuse to redo your most beloved fights, and obtain tokens to preserve the memories of these fights, specially after your numbers get high enough you can handle the endgame just fine.

The fuck is that?

What's your favorite monster introduced in World? Now that I think about it, I'm not really fond of any of the new ones.

When I played Tri after having played MH on the PS2, I was loving Barroth, Lagiacrus, Uragaan and Deviljho and it's great to see most of them back. I feel nothing like that with World. I wouldn't give a shit if none of the new monsters made it into the next major entry. They all feel either too bland or too over the top.

>the new hub looks gorgeous and it’s actaully functional, including quick access to every facility
>riders make travelling through maps more practical and much faster
>needed nerf to weapons like Bow and LS
>weaker weapons in the beta, like the Gunlance, will get new mechanics and numerical buffs in the final release, indicating the team is looking at the feedback with great attention
>Hoarfrost Reach is a drastic improvement over Ancient Forest and MHW maps in general, featuring a simple and readable layout and flatter zones with less bullshit getting in the way
>returning monsters like Nargacuga, Tigrex and Glavenus gains abilities from Deviants and/or brand new attacks/abilities, like Barioth

As far as fight goes, probably odo.
When it comes to designs most of the new monsters are great.
Too bad that since 4U we're stuck into old monster hell where new content can't be allowed to be challenging while endgame has to be the same monsters we've always known.

Monster Hunter made me question my sanity for years now.
Is it normal to find most of those wyvern monsters appealing, to the point of forcing yourself to cap them?
Is it autism?

I would be up for some hunts.

Tobi and Odoggo instantly come to mind. Yeah they're both pushovers, but I like their design and think they can both be improved. Also Bazel if they severely tone down the frequency of his appearance so it's a genuine surprise instead of being GUARANTEED to spawn in certain hunts.

New monsters are pretty boring. Odogaron is probably the only one fun to fight. Anjanath is pretty cool too but gets Rathalos-tier predictable before long, I hope MR Anja and Fulgur Anja have some interesting new tricks.

Fanged Wyverns deserved expanding but most of what we got were a miss for me.

>Xeno'Jiva
>Ridiculous
You never took a look at Frontier, did you?

wait so if I want items that are listed under "carve" but not "capture", should I kill em? I recall capture includes the carve rewards or something

Fulgur is pretty much a new monster in terms of fight youtube.com/watch?v=EfDBtu9e_XU

I think some items are likelier to drop via carves than by captures, and vice versa

No, monster hunter turns everyone into a scalie and wanting a monster fuck buddy is absolutely normal.

Bazelgeuse is a passable budget Deviljho but all in all he's inferior to the real thing
Nergigante is an ok ED(even if he dies in 2 minutes) but a really weak flagship, his presence isn't felt at all during the story unlike Magala
Kulve Taroth is a really cool monster when you get to fight her but it's rendered tedious with all of the track sniffing chasing gacha bullshit
So all in all, the new monsters are fucking garbage mostly
Granted, Iceborne is fixing everything about the monsters with the new subspecies turning even garbage like Pukei Pukei into cool ass monsters that actually have a reason to exist, Glam Rock Anjanath might actually be one of my favorite monsters in the series

Personally I never understood the meme Drachen meta, I stuck with 3-piece Vaal, eyepatch, and legs of your choice. With the right decos it's way superior to anything I've played.
>But crits perserve sharpness!
I never came across a situation where I dropped below blue sharpening, whatever I'm fighting runs away way before that.
Also Vaal set has more slots for useful decos naturally if you're a blademaster.
And I'm not even mentioning the fact that you won't have to ever use a healing item ever again.

saed spam is still better dps so it'll still just be that
if they wanted to actually make it not braindead they would bring back losing red shield on saed

But I'm not. Besides, consoles will never have non-shit framerates since the average consumer doesn't care if the framerate is 30 or 60.

pretty much, since it makes the fights shorter.

Th point of drachen is not dropping under white, ever.

>eternal unga bunga SAED hell
You can do comparable dps with combo. ~85 with the combo vs ~90 with SAED. When you factor in the extra time it takes to refill all 5 phials after a SAED vs only refilling 2 phials from using the combo, it pulls ahead slightly. The tricky part is pulling it off when hunting monsters, but that's literally the name of the game.

>lightning tree out of iron

Greatsword goes well with Weakness Exploit, Maximum might (despite the nerfs both are gonna get), attack up, sharpness +1...

Crit draw used to be the meta and Charge up too, but these day crit draw has fallen out of favor, though charge up is still good. Besides that, quick sheathe is and has always been particularly good with Greatsword.

Lance also wants Weakness Exploit and attack/ affinity up, but here you are better off using Agitator, rather than Maximum might. Also guard up or evasion up depending on your playstyle. I’m more of a gunlance person though, so take that with a grain of salt.

Can’t help with bowguns. I’ve used them before, but not in World.

>>worst monster you fought
Jho. Luna's a pain too but you can simply haul ass elsewhere get some hits in then haul ass again.
Jho is tall, lanky and wiggles like a motherfucker so unless I shit para and traps I have to caress his rock hard ankles till he falls down, which is just dull. Or I have to actually try, get my positioning sorted and snipe headshots which I'm really just too lazy to do repeatedly.
>>post best monster you fought
Kulve Taroth I really like the strategic element to the fight and how rewarding she can be to fight if you use common sense and a bit of brainpower.
Vaal and odo are always fun to just grug on mindlessly.

>Not dropping under white
You have to hit the monster 3 more times to compensate the loss of damage at best, maybe a bit more if it's an AT Elder.
The only monster I can really see it being useful on is Extremoth, but then you'd have to exclusively target the head and hands anyway.

>Letting the monster leave
I guess it's better to keep the monster locked in the same zone and see your teammates carting one by one because they can't handle a prolonged fight?

Doesn't work on AT Kush unfortunately

considering whoever stole the OP from that general are always namedropping people from that place and instantly having jannies delete any actual mention of the place as off-topic, I don't believe it

World has a slightly higher Multiplayer HP multiplier than most of the older games. Also World scales the part break and KO thresholds though which is a pain in the ass.

I think 3U might've been higher though.

>Somebody else who likes Kulve's fight
Nothing's more satisfying than a Kulve or Behemoth fight with great teamplay and things going absolutely flawlessly.

Attached: 1525636777484.gif (1100x800, 2.35M)

Not him but it works when Kush decides to run to its nest.
You can flash it thrice out of the air and minimize the time it's alive in the nest or even kill it before it runs when in multi.

AT Kush is the easiest of ATs. Just shoot it till it falls, then shoot it some more. The damage isn't high enough to combo you into a cart unless you get trapped in a corner with tornadoes.

I use a similar strategy, but with Eyepatch, Luna chest and nerg everything else +Nerg / Luna IG w/ healing kinsect. I ligitimately think not having to heal directly + being able to keep the full health atk boost throughout the hunt compensates having to sharpen, specially with the whetfish fins+. DPS is still lower on average, but the fights are way more survivable.

It's the easiest, but BY FAR the most tedious one outside of Lunastra.
The fight is plain unenjoyable despite how easy it is.

It's the easiest but it's still the biggest pain in the ass if you're not a ranged user.

You get the same rewards, but capture saves time and gives more investigations

>Shoot it
We shouldn't be corralled into running ranged weapons because of bad design.
>Fine, so tickle his feet until he falls!
Not every weapon has good or reliable vertical reach. He was already a mistake in base form, AT turned it into cancer.

>teammates
so you just like making things harder for yourself in general.
Let's be clear here, for the monsters that you'd want teammates for, Kulve, Behemoths, Ancient Leshen, you can't really stop them from zoning anyway.

Did they just forgot about it? you'd think we'd get SOMETHING by now

Bazel. That dude has been a total bro and divebombs monsters I'm fighting all the time, and he never seems to do so when I'm in the way. I'm sure this has just been dumb luck, but he still routinely makes hunts easier for me.

On an aesthetic level I really like his design, it's distinctive without being over the top and the idea of explosive scales detonated by pressure is really creative.

>Having a monster that lasts more than 5 minutes is far more engaging
I really wish we could set the quest multiplier before embarking when playing solo. Could also be a sort of "choose your difficulty" kind of thing that would give some more rewards or increase the chances of getting rare items.

No, it made him faster, stronger, and given new moves and doesn't last less than 2 minutes

Git fucking gud

Maybe if the slam wasn't so goddamn fast, it makes it really unsafe to ever follow up on him

Which is kind of a bad move when nerg's gimmick is that you need to blitz him dead before he can do it to you

Tempered nerg is a cakewalk so they have to put in some bullshit that forces you to use a mantle

It's a PvE game, user. Why do you care so much about how others want to play? The RNG in this game isn't exactly what anyone would consider fair.

All because of dumb luck. That's pretty ass, and I haven't even gotten into Kulve.

this, if you join someone else's lobby or hop in people's SOS then you suck it up or bail. If they're cheating in YOUR lobby or SOS then you can do as you please with the scumbags.

user, are you fucking retarded

basic of basics for every weapon is weakness exploit

DBs/bow want crit element
HBG/LBG want spare shot+[shot type] up
GS/CB want focus 2/focus 3 respectively, CB can stack attack instead of affinity for stronger phials
lance wants 1 flinch free if you ever take it into multi, guard gems are unnecessary when power guard exists

Bullshit, the map auto switches the HR after you unlock HR.

For lance Guard 1 is basically free since you have open slots even after hitting 100% affinity and Guard 3 is a very minimal DPS loss, so you may as well use them.

I do think you should have to press something to slide though, World's default controls kinda spread out a lot of buttons that could be on the same spot.
bring back Kick and have the button use for that when you're stationary also used to slide

Agitator is total garbage, only reason it's used is that it's "free" extra.

most anything that needs more than baseline guard can be power guarded instead anyways

Agitator is really good against terminator monsters that are always seem to be in rage and never tire, it's basically atk 7 and crit 4 in one skill.
Sadly the armor pieces which have it tend to be shit or come from fucking AT luna and AT gacha mommy.

I dunno, previous gens always had an around 3 year gap, and that was when they had more skeletons and monsters to reuse.

Ya know they did drop the comic con footage and the velkana beta demo in japan in the last two days, it could just be the original dumbasses who translated it and got it wrong and there’s no trailer and the info we got so far is the “news”

I hope it’s not because I want that fucking trailer. We’ll what’s the case by 3am tonight or the same time tomorrow

don't they release trailers on mondays?

Weakness exploit and Max might are getting nerfed in Iceborne, so it's worth getting used to Agitator.

last one dropped on a thursday

agi's getting nerfed as well

When is the dev stream this weekend? I can't find anything on it.

That was mostly because of localization, now they’re doing it at the same time in all regions. Like I said though the wait at most will probably be two, I imagine with the huge success World was Capcom is gonna wanna push out a good sequel product as soon as they can

And iceborne is getting post release stuff, hopefully that’ll last about a year

Damn, I guess I should save up for a PS5 if the delay for PC will never go away.

What else would put into lvl 1 slot after getting all the important DPS skills? It's literally a choice between attack 5 and guard 1, and guard 1 is much more valuable than +3 attack you get from going Attack 4->5

all damage boosting skills should be outright removed

For multiplayer you replace the agitator gem with flinch free.

Well the delay is getting shorter, I mean originally it was a 8 month wait for world pc I think and now it 4 ( though that could be a cushion time frame and could be ready sooner but they don’t wanna get bad PR so they gave themselves a longer time frame)

So it’ll probably only get shorter and World 2 may release pc and console at the same time. I’d save up regardless and see what happens with the release before you invest in a console

WEX nerf is not that bad, you just have to just the claw to tender a monster part and it's back to 50% and it's offset somewhat by crit eye buff.
Max Might nerf hurts, but some weapons already play without it.

As long as it doesn't end up becoming a Nintendo exclusive again...
I'm just bringing this up because it feels that when it's out for one of their platforms it will rarely get turned into a multiplat.

WEx is barely getting nerfed. They just added an extra step, and it's something you want to do anyway, since the wound mechanic is strong as fuck.
Agitator is getting nerfed for obvious reasons. You can enrage the monster on command now, and agitator wasn't meant to be up 99% of the time as it was balanced.

it won't because they can get people to double dip, the delay is intentional

It's not a "cushion time frame" or anything like that. The PC delay is 100% Crapcom trying to get people to double dip again like they did the the original game.

it only lost 5 affinity

you don't have any guard decos

I seriously doubt they'd be able to get another brand new game out in just two years. I also doubt they'd even want a new generation to come out that soon for marketing reasons.

What the fuck are you talking about? Ironwall Jewel is a guard jewel.

MH is actually a yearly series. 15 years, 15 games.

It's probably being kept secret because they can't show it's gimmick without ruining it.

Do you have a source for that?

bro how are you this autistic

True.

I'm aware, but I think 2020 is too early for them to be moving on to a new generation and they've never done a generation with only two installments before. They'll probably fill the gap with something.

>Make a retarded statement
>Get BTFO
>"y-y-y-you're a-a-a-a-autistic"
Do your parents a favor and neck yourself.

Yeah, this is the entire problem with his fight. They took a REALLY solid fight and just ruined it and made it draw out with instant hit bullshit. I also feel they ruined AT Vaal Hazak for a similar reason. His fight was always about managing your health (within reason). And you could ignore most of that by wearing some of his set once you farmed some of it with super recovery and recovery speed 3 and effluvia res and play aggressive. He was the one fight where you could arguably get away with ignoring some offensive skills to get better kill times.

Ultimately they just shit on it, though, by making the health degradation so horrible that it ruins any strategy that includes getting near him. You're better off either gunning him or spending 10 minutes as a blademaster collectively on healing/running out of the aura hoping he'll follow you out. It's pretty fucking stupid. I haven't even fought regular Lunastra yet, so I'm sure she is just as bad according to what I've heard, but I'll see later when I play again.

Normal and tempered lunastra isn't bad, AT is cancer.

Just my opinion, but I feel mantles shouldn't even be necessary for any fight. Mantles should be a crutch and that's it. Every fight should be balanced to plain old school monster fighting. Not balanced for speedrunners using cliff jump strats, or mantle abuse builds. That's the core issue here. "Technically" there are ways to do well, it's just none of them are fun and take any engagement out of the fight. It's like Azure Rathalos, where you either bring flash bombs and the fight is a joke or you don't and it's a fucking nightmare and will take 3 times as long.

Odogaron was pretty cool. The first time I fought him I was using longsword and it was exhausting to both Dodge his attacks and attack him, I felt like it was that fight in sword art online where Kirito killed the blue demon.

what's the matter?
too much woman for you??

That's true, if they want to buy time with a portable 5th or something before pumping out World 2. I guess we'll have to see how it goes.

Oh, well that sounds like my feelings on Regular/Tempered Vaal compared to AT Vaal. So was Arch Tempered a mistake?

AT Lunastra is honestly 100 times worse than AT Nergi

AT have two main issues with their buffs.
The HP buffs make the fights go on forever if you play normally.
The damage for certain attacks is insane and they get too many one shot kills.
They needed better balance because the fights get boring.

I gave up on using GS against any of the awful dragons of world, not worth it when you can actually fight and not just gun them.

I wish weapons had some unique attacks based off the monsters they were made from. Like having the lightning squirrel snake weapon get a unique thunder coated attack or a Diablos weapon getting a heavy charge.

So, is it

I've never felt quite so glad to have moved to PC

Yeah and with AT Nerg in particular I feel like his new move isn't a bad idea, but if it were telegraphed better, took a little longer to come out and didn't instant kill someone who didn't have Health UP+3 and Divine Blessing+3 and 500 Defense or more I'd have no problem with him. It's just that one move (especially since he can spam it and chooses it frequently). Ok, so yes, I'm salty af about Nerg right now.

you can upgrade HR Kulve weapons into MR

damn drip feed content i should have never stopped playing world, ill never get the commission layered set now

I don't super mind them being upgradable as long as they're no longer the best in class. They really should have been left in HR though; Glutton in particular should be deleted.

Did CB get buffed in this game? Because I build Odoggo's CB and I only started learning it like two days ago (main GS) and I'm getting comparable or better kill times. Keep in mind I don't go for cliff/AI exploit strats like speedrunners. I'm a normal human being.

My moonrunes is a bit rusty, but way I understand it is that you use MR materials from other monsters to upgrade KT weapons. So there's no MR KT.

>-Looking at the monsters being added this time, it seems that there will be more weapons with water and ice attributes, which have been a little less up to now, but how do you decide the balance of the weapons etc?
>Mr. Ichihara: Because there is not enough weapons, there is no vector to add monsters, but basically it is a story after deciding what kind of monsters you want to appear, so it is completely flat It does not mean that Of course, I realized that I wanted to make the place that was thin thicker.

What water monsters are they adding besides piss pukei?

I just hope ignition GS is upgradeable, I love its design and that it's actually great.

Neither actually. It's a bit vague. They say that you'll be able to do something with your kulve weapons (they don't say what) because they don't want to have wasted the players' time. And they say for everyone to keep their kulve weapons for this reason and that they are expanding the item box so it shouldn't be a problem.

Just get focus 3 and you can stun lock monsters with the SAED spam.

Some new water elder. Possibly the new siege monster. Given that zorah's ls branches into a water branch.

Thank god, that still shit but at least we’ll get a different seige boss and u hope it’s hard a fuck to upgrade them

Water Zorah, apparently

Plesioth

well there's weapon layered settings so you're safe

Agreed. If they made us have to fight that shit again, fuuuuck. Please do something more like MH4U for end game, rather than Kulve.

Guys, I'm so bad I don't know what to do. I've been playing MH since FU and I've cleared most of 4U's G-rank solo. I've never hunted with anyone else. And last night I triple carted to normal Vaal Hazak.

Don't utter that name here.

Now goldmommy got me curious. I might go back and smack her ass a few times before iceborne. Thanks fellas.

Im a worldbab, what was 4U endgame?

A gacha.

I'd like if event weapons were upgradeable further as well, but I just hope everything balances out better. Like, of course with any game there will be best/optimal builds but none of this "Lagia/Kadachi weapons are generally fucking terrible" nonsense. I want so bad to use other weapons but Nerg/Lunastra/Ignition are pretty much the go-to for GS and for CB/Hammer I use Diablos. Please more love for elemental on slow weapons.

I really don't care about other GS because ignition is flat out the best looking one, I just love it.

When?!?!?!?!?!?

UW Plessy is based
I love that fish asshole

It wasn't too different where it was very low drop weapons and armor. The difference was that you could fight leveled monsters that ever so slightly increased stats as they leveled and became higher rank (low/high/Master (called G rank then)) as they leveled up. But the difference is that you could fight almost any monster in the game to farm these weapons out. And different pools gave different skins for the weapon but the stats were all from the same pool of possible stats. Yes, it was true that some of the harder monsters in the game gave higher drop chances for these weapons but it wasn't so significant that you couldn't just go fight something else every once and a while. It's much more preferable to these sieges.

Well, that's different. But land Plessy can suck a dick.

What about him had you beat?

What's the easiest way to get through as much of MHFU as possible solo? Having a hard time getting used to these old hitboxes, Garuga in particular is giving me a hard time. Is there a weapon that stands apart as good for solo play or do I just need to get good? Thinking about trying SnS, I've enjyoed it in the later installments.

That leveling up shit just reminded me of the trophy. I really hope the Guiding Lands isn't a randomly generated tower.

Play Hammer. Hammer is horribly powerful in that game. It was so strong that it got a roughly 30% nerf in 3rd gen. Also just where attack up skills.

The big reasons why so many weapons are useless in MHW are:
- Pure raw is just so much better than elemental damage. This makes 90% the elemental weapons useless.
- Drachen set and easy to get affinity makes sharpness useless a useless stat in weapon. As long as weapon can 10 points of white sharpness it's just as good as a weapon that gets 100 points.

Both of those are being fixed in Iceborne at least in some level. So we should see much better variety of usable weapons.
Obviously there will always be "the best weapon" for speed runs etc, but at least it shouldn't be a situation where one weapon is like a nuclear bomb and others feel like feather duster.

Sorry, what are the Guiding lands? I don't keep up with all of the news on new games.

Dreadking Rathalos are notorious for their flash resistance while flying. But if you can clip both of their wings, you'll be able to flash them down again.

Hold the fuck up, both a new siege got confirmed AND kulve weapons confirmed to be of use

Are they fucking saying there's gonna be an MR kulve ?

Do not fuck the monsters.
The guild will not like it.

In my opinion they just need to make elemental damage apply with crit without a skill. Why should it need a skill when it's statistically already way less useful per point than raw damage?

I just fucked up a few times when he was doing his dumb charge attack. I'm not used to elders just charging around a lot.

The guild will like it if you're their client
See some quest descriptions of the older games

Just bought MHW, this is my 2nd MH game, the first being MHGEN for the 3ds, I don't get the weapon forging system in MHW it was so easy on MHGEN, also why is my boy not here?

Yeah, it's so complex.

>Obviously there will always be "the best weapon" for speed runs etc, but at least it shouldn't be a situation where one weapon is like a nuclear bomb and others feel like feather duster.
See that's all I'm asking for. I don't care that there is something really powerful, but everything should be able to get really powerful under the right circumstances, whether it be because of armor skill or monster weakness or both.

What? What does their wings being damage have to do with flash resistance? Is this for real?

Final area in Iceborne. There's three trophies associated with it.
-Unlock the guiding lands
-Raise a region to ecology level 7
-Defeat Ruiner Nergigante at the Guiding Lands
The icon used for it looks like a Tower.

>Kjarr are going to upgrade into MR
>the elemental buffs and raw nerfs
better do them Golden Girls now boys

What's a good weapon for a beginner that will be good in icebourne? Using LS, bit it feels kind of slow. Satisfying to connect, though. Maybe I'm just not used to the souls style combat pace MH invented.

I'm not kidding. Their strong wings keep them aloft even when flashed. So if you break both of them, Dreadking can be flashed down again.

BRISTLY CRAKE I SWEAR TO GOD SHOW UP

If coral handler is so smart and knows a lot of things then what happens if I cut her tail?

Dreadking is a faggot

How is it complicated? It's actually simpler in world than ever because you can actually keep track of what weapons become what without needing a wiki. It's actually more confusing in older games because you have to either record that shit or look up guides to keep track of material needs and upgrade paths.

>also why is my boy not here?
Don't know. They have fanged wyverns but seemingly deliberately left out some of the best ones.

Dual blades if you want easy and fast.

>some of the best ones
Zinogre was literally the only one before World.

So in terms of Elder Dragon power, where the fuck does Dire Miralis place if Fatalis/White Fatalis are the top dog?

Try GS or Gunlance for a bit, then go back LS and you'll feel like Sonic with it.

GenU is dogshit

I thought Akantor/Ukanlos were fanged wyverns? What are they if not?

God, I hope so. I'm disappointed by the no new xeno weapon

Basically.

those are flying wyverns

I really hope that in Iceborne there's a monster that heavily punishes ranged weapon users, those fucker have played in easy mode for far too long.

I want to remodel HIS asshole.

>Just looked up Akantor on 4U
>Flying Wyvern
Okay... so he SHOULD be a fanged wyvern, given his gigantic FANGS. But apparently he "flies".

I was using that originally but the icebourne abilities look lame as hell compared to other weapons. Maybe I'll switch back.
I actually found gun lance pretty fun but I sucked with it

>No new xeno weapon
Shit, I might not even buy it now

Try GS? All you need is good positioning and timing tackles well.

>It's much more preferable to these sieges.
idk man I think kulve is better than fighting double 140 rajangs for the umpteenth time

something more like investigations but for weapons instead of decos would be a good middle ground, especially if it doesn't just devolve into "just fight elders over and over" again

You could try the hammer, it's a surprisingly mobile weapon.

cute

>Zorah
>not lao which is an even bigger slog
how?

It's a flying wyvern because it shares a skeleton with Tigrex.

They're second gen monsters. They're both on the Tigrex skeleton.

Like I said, you don't have to just do rajang. But I get your point, it would be nice if there were no optimal fights and you could just do investigations on Tempered monsters. Or have them level up to Tempered eventually but reduce the amount of leveling required because growing 30 levels 1 by 1 was fucking stupid.

Yeah, but that's still illogical. That's kind of 4th wall breaking kind of shit. It's like, from a designer's perspective, sure it's the same so call it the same. But from an ingame world perspective it's like... whaaaaat???

When the review copies will be out? Last time some dumb guy leaked all the roster and maps for us.

Problem is that no matter how hard they would try to balance it there would always be an "optimal fight" and people would just spam it most of the time.

Not sure, but even though I double dipped on World I'm not getting it on PS4 again. Framerate was absolute trash and now I've already redone past the point I was at on PS4 on PC. I can stand to wait 3-4 months even though it's retarded.

Yeah I know, but if it's so minimally different that it doesn't matter there will of course be spergs but many people like myself will jump around because we get bored of the same fight over and over. That said even if it's just as bad as 4U is still a better way of doing it than one monster being mandatory.

Yeah, 3-4 month wait sucks but I have plenty of backlog to play while I wait for it.

It's not illogical. Akantor and Ukanlos were created for the second generation portable games. Even their ecology talks about how their wings eventually became vestigial, but they're from the flying wyvern line that Tigrex and Nargacuga come from.
It's not 4th wall breaking, you just came to the franchise later.

The fanged wyvern classification didn’t exist at the time and its closest relative is a flying wyvern

It’s also why they’re not classed as elder dragons, because despite their strength they still fit into wyvern evolutionary branches

>people would just spam it most of the time.
not if the quests expire like investigations do

part of the problem with guild quests was that they were shareable so everyone just spammed the same perfect quest all the damn time

not that user but retconning monster types has happened before

Off the top of my head on Fatalis, Kirin, and Lao were retconned because Dos introduced Elder Dragons as a classification.

Even with the investigations you usually get more investigations for the monster you are hunting before you burn through the attempts, especially if you hunt in a group. Allowing you to just spam the same monster over and over again.

I played FU all the way through. I just find it a weak argument. It's fair if these sounded like legit biological terminology. Like I understand it's like linking raptors to birds, etc. But it just makes no sense to me if you're going to use the word "flying". Perhaps, had they come up with a better name for that line of wyverns (because even Tigrex and Narga hardly use their wings for actual flying, not counting area moving) such as Tyrant Wyverns or some kind of Jurassic sounding name of wyvern, cool. But it's weird because we don't biologically use terms that mean flight for anything that doesn't fly, or it's usually not a descriptor for a scientific naming scheme solely because that mechanism can easily be selected for or out of a species. I know I'm over thinking it, but again it's just a name so it'd have been easy to change that.

What was Fatalis called before?

>farming endemic life now instead of waiting for Iceborne
Endemic life is getting crown sizes in Icebor e bro, if you’re a completionist you’ll have to grind em all over again.

Nothing. He was just the legendary black dragon and had the ? icon.
Same with Lao and Kirin. They were just mysterious things.

I'm on pc. I have every deco i could need. Consolecuck

What's not to get?
Forge a bone or a metal weapon
Go to the upgrade tab and just follow the upgrade path you want
It's the simplest MH has been as far as menuing is concerned.

That's an easy fix though. They could just increase chances of finding new investigations, increase the limit (why it's so low I'll never know) and increase chances of finding different monsters while reducing chances slightly for the same monster(s).

I think remobras were reclassified as snake wyverns

user. Penguins aren't reclassified because they swim. Ostriches aren't reclassified because they can't fly. They're still avians.

exactly, so there's nothing stopping them reclassifying uka/aka

also while we're at it can we change diablos/monoblos to be brute wyverns too, thanks

I'm heavily considering cheating the rest of the decos simply because it's ridiculous how rare some are. I was somehow very lucky with attack decos though. I have 6 and I haven't even done the witcher subquests thing to get one.

I think that's more fair than having to use flashbombs every 2 secs when hunting kush

Mono/Diablos are not brutes in any way beyond liking to dig and charge at things

I've hit a wall with the Behemoth.

Lao at least pushed my shit in with the time limit since I'm a lone hunter. Zorah just stands there doing absolutely nothing, can't even oneshot me if I accidentaly do whatever on his back unlike lao.

Avian doesn't describe "animal that can fly" though. It describes genetic similarity in animals. Again, I totally understand that they were attempting to do the same thing here with Flying Wyverns but perhaps using Avian would've actually been better because that's a more genetic explanation.

But Lao takes 2x as long and somehow has less moves and interaction than Zorah. AT Zorah is also a lot harder than Lao.

Trying to solo or what? Give me details.

Elder Dragons is a catch all classification. It's just for the strange monsters that defy all logic and understanding. Kirin, Lao, and Fatalis didn't even get a classification in Monster Hunter 1 and G.

I wonder if they were planning on reclassifying Narga because they totally used Odogo's skeleton and that's classified as a Fanged Wyvern, not a Flying Wyvern.
