No, they said they aren't planning to have post game support run as long as it did for base World.

Will we see more weapons with skills attached to them in iceborne?, if you could have any skill attached to any weapon, what would it be?

I’m actually not too sure. Skills in weapons already come in the form of deco slots and intrinsic skills like lunastra or Kjarr weapons. If pendants are just accesories that you equip and grant you skills they are funtionally the same as deco slots. I don’t think that’s gonna be the case.
Zachary Richardson
It's a shame the viability of different horns are so predicated on whether or not the horn has attack up.
Gavin Long
At least horns don't arbitrarily have 20 less raw across the board anymore

Hello anons, you are probably wondering why the leakers haven't revealed anything besides Velkhana's armor skills, well the truth is that I keep filtering them and making them ragequit, they even started to use SOS in an attempt to get carried but they only fail the quest sooner this way, as long as i keep kicking their teeth in they will not reveal anything
You're welcome
James Hall
Lance with build in Guard/Guard Up would be nice and fit the Lance's theme rather well.
Zachary Mitchell
Sure!
Do you want to do nakarkos, too?
Austin Diaz
Why do you hate DB user?
Will you use them in Iceborne with the new changes.
Henry Brooks
I dunno, we're pretty sure pendants do attach to weapons because of the icons, and the kjarr/lunastra style skills are the only things currently that we don't have manual control over. It's a natural fit.
Leo Hill
yeah most likely, i solod the glav, mitsu and astalos duals just now
Thomas Foster
I'm not a big fan of 'many hits, small damage'.
I don't really hate DB or DB users, it's just fun to antagonize.
And yes, I will be trying them out when Iceborne comes out, get at least 100 hunts with every weapon.
Samuel Jenkins
I'll count myself lucky that I've never ran into anyone like that.
Nathaniel Kelly
Nope, Ruiner Nergigante goes way at the end. SOMETHING is filtering the fuckers much earlier than that, around the 2-3 stars mark.
It may be Fulgur Anjanath actually.

Nicholas Peterson
Oh, it's full.
I'll help you from over here, then.
Nakarkos has a oneshot beam and when he's about to blast it (red orb appears in mouth), you can stop it by throwing tranq bombs.
When nakarkos' tentacles have the status skulls on them, you can throw sonic bombs to disorient him and make him bash his own head in with them (this will not give nakarkos a status effect. He is immune to those)
Use the anti dragon bombs on nakarkos's eye when you can climb his shell after downing him.
You can also use a pickaxe to mine the eye and get narkarkos gems.
i couldnt solo the duos because i ran out of time on all of them

Maybe, but I think that it may be something entirely different from skills or augments. What it may be, I don’t know.

bit boring since all you do is spam tornado slash though
Evan Rogers
Because it's not a good game. Mildly entertaining for a few hours but ugly as hell and boring
Lincoln Price
lmao look at the dudes hands, they couldn't even fucking program the guns in there properly
Eli Sanders
That's nothing, there are a bunch of cool looking gunlances all with different shelling types, and exactly 2 of them are viable. Magdha lahat and one of the kulve taroth weapons. There's only two long level 4 types and anything less is a huge damage downgrade.
Grayson Garcia

You're giving it far too much credit dude

It's a female character model and I gave her her a pink curleh Pringles mustache under the helmet. My favorite part is how she's not actually even holding the repeaters. They're floating.
>The run animations made me want to vomit
And the frame rate (PS4 player here), and attack animations, and the particle effects...
The monsters are cool, though.
Leo Myers
I tried it once at a friend's place who plays fortnite he said it's as fun as MH but coming from actual MH i can't help but think there's a lot of ways they could be better
It's not like Dauntless introduces innovative ways to hunt monsters a la GE's predator, it's just... that.
Hunter Miller
The one shadow dog thing that brings you to another world with it's portals was interesting. Lost interest after that though
Jace Hall

I used the Jho gunlance and it was fun. No shellng though, just big dick swings. Good against slow mons like Teo or Bazel.
Zachary Allen
Here's one where they say they aren't sure.
>Tsujimoto: I don’t know if we will specifically look to add new maps, but we are going to release title updates after Iceborne is released, similar to how we did with Monster Hunter World. That was a great vehicle for us to add fresh new content that you could play in the long term; event quests, seasonal events… we even added some new monsters.
>We’re currently developing our plans for what content will come to Iceborne via future title updates after launch, so we’ll have to see what we come up with. We don’t know yet if it’s going to be literally as long as the support cycle we had for Monster Hunter: World, but we will take a similar approach.
>We have some plans we will develop, then after the game comes out we have to really watch the community and see what they’re liking or disliking, then we can find ways to make improvements, balance changes and so forth. We have a framework in mind, but we will be quite flexible in adapting that for the needs of players once we see how the game lands.
I'll see if I can find you another interview where they are less wishy washy. Keep in mind that World's post content release got kind of stretched out by the FF and Witcher Collabs. And so far in Iceborne interviews they've said that they currently have no collabs like that planned (they didn't for world either) but they can happen kind of out of the blue, so they don't know if it'll happen again or not.
Jaxon Rivera

>Kulve
I have both Zorah's GL and Kulve's R8 sleep GL, somebody explain to me why they would be any better than Jho's GL for swinging or Luna's Xeno GL for infinite white sharpness, or Pinkian's GL for decent sharpness, attack, and shelling.
Jack Taylor
Me and 2 friends have started over for Iceborne. One has gone Bow, I’ve gone Heavy Bowgun and the other has gone Longsword so he can be a spammy shitter to his hearts content and not hit us.
I’ve used Bow before but have always stuck to the various blademaster weapons since MHFU. Using HBG has completely rekindled my love of the game and makes it feel fresh again.
Any recommendations on which bowgun lines to focus on? Any good Armor sets? I’ve just got to Zorah so I made a quick mix set with Quick Sheath, Evade Extender and Crit Up for now as the early stuff is a joke.
One thing I noticed with the gun is you really see the damage you’ve done to a monster when you’re zoomed in aiming. I blew a Kulu’s face up and it’s actually ragged as fuck after, never really noticed until now
Carson Foster
Not enough reward.
Other than Layered Armors and materials for the arena LS, there's really no point. Unless you're going for the WR, but I mean... let's get real.
I did 56 Arena quests total in about 970 total hours of playtime just for the layered armors, LS, and Nowhere to Go but Up trophy (do 50 arena quests). I have no reason to do any more.
Grayson Brown
>One has gone Bow, I’ve gone Heavy Bowgun and the other has gone Longsword
stopped reading there, holy shit what a cancer trio lmao
Hunter Bailey
I'd say Taroth Sleep is slightly better if only for Attack Up (L) due to it's better sharpness, affinity and NEBability. But yea
>gachamommy
Matthew Foster
Yeah that one was kinda fun too. This game is actually what made me double dip for World on PC
Carson Fisher
the arena quests in world were way easier than in older titles. even the duo diablos quest isnt hard and can easily be done solo.
i havent tried out the challenge quests tho, i might do that. are they hard?
Caleb Brooks
I've heard long shelling isn't even all that good compared to wide shelling.
There really ought to be a "shelling level up" skill to make more weps usable, though. Of course, GL is already super hungry for rare decos which sucks.
Jonathan Cooper
The best HBGs are random drops from Kulve Taroth (Gluttony/Support), I think.
Two good ones other than that are Legiana's (Pierce) and Devil Jho's (Sticky/Cluster).
I'm not a Bowgun main.
Cameron Ramirez
this, the sad fact is dauntless has about 2 neat fights. shadow dog and lazer bug.
Every other fight feels pretty much the same. I played dauntless, a lot early on a bit as of late and all I can say is the game feels soulless... and I hate using that meme word but there it is. Nothing makes me want to try new weapons or play around with new skills in that game unlike monster hunter
Kayden Jackson
Does anyone else miss the old sniper style of great sword play? Using a set with Sharpness+1, Focus and Crit Draw and raining down LV3 charges was so satisfying. It’s more of a combo weapon now.
Noah Diaz
can you play this game completely solo?
Joshua Harris
Monster hunter? yes.

59.4% of people who unlocked rank 4 unlocked rank 5.
63.3% of people who unlocked rank 5 beat the game.
0% of people who beat the game beat Ruiner Nergigante.
So either 3* really is where the difficulty spikes or reviewers just happened to quit there because 3 hours of gameplay is enough to write a review in their minds. ("more of the same, full of reskins, etc")
Owen Robinson
What’s wrong with it? We just use what’s fun? I’ve literally used all weapons for a playthrough over the series minus the lances and guns. I normally use Sword and Shield or Great Sword though. The other 2 are a Dual Sword and a Great Sword main. We wanted to use stuff different from what we normally use.
Connor Scott
You can still do all that and go for the combo on flinches
Jackson Garcia
Yeah you can solo everything if you're good enough. There are a few things that will be "extremely" frustrating though
Kevin Reed
3* is the flagship tier. Also Fulgur Anja and some other subs.
Evan Anderson
> reviewers just happened to quit there
Looks like it, most of them didn't play again after 1 day ago
Jace Cruz
>Does anyone else miss the old sniper style of great sword play?
Absolutely not. Not even a little.
When I first got into Monster Hunter (4U), I already had in mind that I wanted to use the GS. I almost always go for a big sword in whatever I'm playing, I like big swords.
It broke my heart to learn that the GS plays as a hit & run style. Utter garbage playstyle, imo. Especially for a Greatsword.
Daniel Scott
thanks everyone for the help
John Diaz
Yep, I cannot find a weapon that I actually enjoy in MHW with how broken and low skill everything is, I just ended up joining the CB bandwagon as a main weapon and use everything from time to time aside from DB / LS ‘cuz I still have a pulse.
Ayden Smith
Or maybe Capcom locked Ruiner Nergi for the review copies? No clue why they'd do that, but it does seem strange that absolutely nobody has killed him yet.
Jason Campbell
Yes and no, farming Kulve solo is the dumbest shit you could do if you don’t hate yourself.
Behemoth is also designed around team play but you can just cheese it with HBG or Bow (Bow is pure cheese in this game anyway, with all the KO damage it dishes out)
Ryder Cruz
There are three quests which you realistically can't do solo. Like, it's possible with enough practice, but it's not at all the intended way to fight them. They're all post-release content though and the game is fine without them.
Everything else is perfectly doable solo as long as you don't suck at games.
Brody Clark
I'd try it to were it not for S E R V E R S I D E H I T R E G I S T R A T I O N
Jason James
They can't. Review copies are just release versions that were handed out early. They can only control Event quest availability.
David Barnes
Yes.
But similar to having teeth pulled; It's more fun with friends.
Also, this.
Lincoln Ramirez
people that say cb is broken while the fucking bow and glutton are in the game are deranged.
Jackson Thompson
Ruiner nerg is like tempered kirin as a gatekeeper. But you needed to hit hr49 to unlock tempered kirin. Maybe ruiner nerg is MR49 or something and you're back at MR16 when you meat the boss like you are with HR and Xeno.
Christian Gutierrez

why do people hate bow users? db are the real enemy. bows can add every status with decorations, take damage less often. and unless they spam the shitty bomb move wont interfer with you. just steady dps and status.
Alexander Russell
>three quests which you realistically can't do solo
Kulve, Behe, and what? Lunastra arena?
Jacob Moore
Because bow shitters 99% of the time are blind meta slaves that don't have the skill to actually do any of that without getting carted
Jayden Rogers
No, it just says you get a trophy for MR200. There may be a quest unlock up there too, like there was for Hr100, but I think since Ruiner Nerg uncaps MR, he's well before 200.
Adrian Ortiz
the main types of HBG you will see are spread shot (glutton HBG early on) and cluster bomb (devil jo) normal shot is not meta at all (but I enjoy it the most) and pierce shot is only good for 3 monsters (but I also enjoy that) I would not really focus on one HBG line, pick the kind of shot you enjoy and make the best set you can for that. The "shot up" skills are a must (normal shot up, spread shot up ect) and as soon as you can get the extra ammo and load up skills for less reload time.
Also shield is fucking broken on HBG, guard up and a shield WILL make the game piss ass easy, you have been warned
Charles Diaz
or it takes a long time to get through and they have more assignments and shit to do than just this one game so they haven't got there yet
Gabriel Collins
Shit I got it confused with the trophy for hitting MR200, thought it was the same trophy for some reason.

You're invulnerable the second the smoke hits the ground, it's the most effective "oh fuck" button in the game if you're ever actually in danger. If her nova is getting you in that mission just farcaster out, or bring Wind Res and Cool Drinks and she's a total joke

If you do like 4 actual hunts in any of the zones you need to track a monster in and find 1 footprint on the way through the hunt you're done. People who try to grind those out purely on expeditions are retarded, you get a massive bonus for finding a print then finishing a quest.

How do some people even survive Kulve Taroth's roll without any evasion skill? I saw a guy with no evade skill using DBs against it and he never got hurt even when he was rolled over. He didn't have any mantle on at the time either so what the fuck?

only if all attacks are onehits

the hitboxes are buggy as fuck, i don't even know

hell some of them dont even roll and just walk to her right side
Sebastian Robinson
PREACH BROTHER!
PLAY THE SONG OF OUR PEOPLE!
Aaron Cruz
It's popular and a lot of new people use it. Which is great.
The problem is that the LS trips friendlies, and new players using the LS lack the proper positioning skills to hit the monster's weak points and not hit your teamates.
Honestly, if you just run Flinch Free 1 it's never a problem. Also, I think new players using the IG who just jump and fly around the whole fight instead of using practical combos are far worse.
Chase Gomez
There's a blindspot, where the roll doesn't hit you. No need for evasion skills.
Ryan Sullivan
Well where the hell is it?
Elijah Nelson
You can superman dive it, or there’s an incredibly buggy shitty missing hitbox near her hip. You end up getting pushed around without actually getting hit.
Michael Johnson
I roll under her to the opposite side if im right ontop of her.
Just sheathe and dive if I'm anywhere else.

i watched a streamer play with his friends and when they got to the track farming part chat was constantly trying to explain this but they just kept searching for tracks and complaining about how dumb it was they had to do that. it's so fucked up that these people are the "influencers" who determine whether or not their thousands of viewers end up buying a game
Luke Wilson
>still be "that rare hunting horn guy"
This is the main reason I started playing the HH. I'm literally that guy who likes to use/play the character/weapon that is least popular for the sole reason it is the least popular, thus making me more special in my head.
It just so happens Capcom made it the funnest weapon in the game, so I reall have to thank them for that. It's not usually the case when you do what I do.
I played Jade in MK9.
Dominic Barnes
>See scrubs playing LS

A lot of people who pick up bow don't want to learn how to play bow. They only get told it's OP but still die like a bitch and complain about the game being too hard. I had a bitch like that in my friend list.
He cried so much about the double Bazel story quest being too hard and deleted me from his friend list after I send him a screenshot of me doing that quest in like 5 mins with a bow while he couldn't beat it after 30+ min.

SnS had a retardedly high attack multiplier in MH1 for some reason and has low attack commitment. No idea if the damage carried over into Freedom 1
Jacob Williams
MH games just don't do that. Or at least never done before.
William Murphy
used to main LS back in MH2
it was very noob-friendly weapon back in the day
though the recent changes to the moveset made it very not very noob-friendly
i even remember the old LS being way faster compared to how it used to be

They're always the first to cart at least once because they never learn how to fight the monsters since they're always in the air. I hate it.

I love the Lance but I wish it had some kind of big attack. I feel so stupid just poking a fallen monster while my friends pull off these big attacks with explosions etc.

Lance doesn't need big flashy finishers because it never has to wait for an opening.
Jeremiah Thompson
I wish to love any weapon in particular and not just be indecisive about what to main. There is never a perfect spot for me.

One of my most used weapon along with GS. But even if I actually like playing something, it gets boring for me very quickly. And I suck with any gunlance style that isn't wide spam.
Owen Cook
it has 2 kinds of charge attacks, besides lance are good weapons for teams if you can lure a monster to constantly hit you while the rest are trying to recover. its all about teamwork
Jaxon Diaz
The best heavy bowguns for every meta ammo are zorah (cc, Also second best cluster), Jho (cluster) and glutton (spread). You can of course run other ammo types, but your damage will be a fraction. Not sure what the best craftable spread hbg is
Camden Powell
>Thinking non elders will have unique models
Oh no no no no no
Ethan Martin
They can just use the Behemoth model though.
Cooper Parker
I found it fantastic. Spent way too much time in it doing everything. Depends on if you like monster rpg's or not
Julian Taylor
Ruiner Nergigante is probably the true final MR unlock, as in you would compare him to hr49 tempered Kirin, not xeno. If so, the reviewers probably need to farm their MR up since rushing the story would not get them far.
Josiah Sullivan
I think he meant for weapons
Samuel Bailey

It is comparatively weak. In 2 you can have an infinite OP bullet with the use of blood chips, but at the same time blast is stupid beyond belief in that game.

Mason Cox
I've been using Deathprize in village quests, but the higher level para weapons seem to use weird mats so I probably won't bother with them.
Mason Carter
Lmao decos are far more useful though? Just cause they're introducing stronger decos doesn't mean the lower ranks will be less useful. Besides the upgraded Kulve weapons almost certainly be outclassed by other weps

the only thing confirmed is that they want to do something for kulve weapons so that people don't feel they wasted their time
it could just be something small like letting us turn them into decorations or armor spheres, or it could be upgrading them to bis again.
but it likely won't be anything important enough that master rank players feel forced to go back and farm her in high rank, and if it's not that important, why bother farming her now?

Fucking how do you stomach it? i have done absolutely everything there is to do in the game multiple times and fucked around and i only have 170 hours.
Adam Evans
Less than 3 monsters on the map + spawn time (the dead monster isn't immediately replaced)
The way they've been talking about it the content is set up to be done as soon as you beat Xeno, but Barioth is the "okay you need to get some new gear" wall.

is lavasioth and great jagras the only way to farm decos? I managed to get 3 artillery gems but I can't get even a single focus/handicraft/spread shot/attack jewel. How many days do I have to keep doing this?
Jason Garcia
They're the best way. Second place is grinding behemoth if you're with a good group, then it's grinding T2 and 3 investigations. Jagras/Lavasioth is the best by an order of magnitude though
Jeremiah Gomez
I didn't do lava and jagg and i still got every deco. Just meld and play the game normally. You will get everything in time. I do have 600 hours but i also have 8 attack decos.

They are the best way to farm decos while the Events are active.
Otherwise, tempered Investigations. The purple-box rewards are decos or streamstones.
Different threat levels drop different percentage of decorations, so look up what decos drop from what threat levels.
Samuel Rodriguez
>Just meld and play the game normally.
what advantages do melding have?
Joshua Hernandez
Listfag. is posting. Don't reply.
Logan Edwards
>Weapon Bounce Noise intensifying.
Robert Hall
Before the lavasioth and jagras quests, the other way was just farming tier 2 and tier 3 tempered investigations and kind of RNG'ing invesatigations that gave you at least 2 gold rewards.
But now you should just be doing the lava and jagras quests because its way easier
Andrew Collins
I've found melding to be an extreme waste of time. The chance of getting decos you need rather than decos you already have just o meld again is extremely low in my experience; And it just takes too long to sit there and meld over and over and over when you could be farming investigations instead (or event quests).
Oliver Fisher
No. That's just when you do the special slinger shot after the clutch claw into the monster's face and send the monster flying into a nearby wall. The alternate slinger shot does not use up more ammo.
It's like a shotgun. It still only uses 1 piece of ammo, but it has somewhat shorter range, and does a fair deal more damage. More importantly, it's stagger value is way higher and can flinch monsters.
Blake Jenkins
Thomas Diaz
i'm hoping akantor and ukanlos are certain to be in because of the kulve skeleton
William Scott
Pretty sure the Pink Rathian GL is still very viable. Long GL is trash no matter how you slice it.
Caleb Morales

Jose Reed
Yes but I feel people would bitch about some of the otensibly best skills for a specific weapon just being there by default.
Ryder Scott
Melding is a waste of time and decos, unless you snipe. You can check out the next X decos you get from melding, then load a backup save file. However, at that point you should just mod in decos.
Caleb Hernandez
Crown events are 12% for big or small gold crowns. Investigations that meet the minimum criteria (1 silver + 1 gold, or 3 gold + 1 bronze, or 3 purple) give you a 6% for small crown and just 3% for big crown. Super investigations (4-5 gold or 4-5 purple) give you a 6% chance for big or small crowns. So yeah, the crown events are a massive increase in rate.
Henry Robinson
There is no Kulve skeleton, it's just the Jagras one
Jason Howard
>Takes less time to clear all quests in a game that doesn't have to duplicate quests for single and multiplayer
Wow
Caleb Harris
I have every deco, and enough of each to max out their respective skills EXCEPT Guard Up.
Almost 1k hours, and the game will not give me one. I have 19 Mind's Eye/Ballistics decos, and about 50 each of Crit Boost, Weakness Exploit, 5 Bow Charge Plus', but the game will not give me Guard Up.
Just give me Guard Up!
Jack Watson
Jackson Cooper
The devs said they made Barioth as a wall to force people to upgrade to MR gear. Barioth will be the sixth monster you fight. You should be cruising until then, since they balanced the first monsters around people fresh of xeno.
Eli Reed
It's an extra, supplementary decoration source. Using it as your sole source of deco farming is setting yourself up for failure. You'll still want to farm lavasioth, or whatever monster gives you the best chance of getting the deco you want because sometimes you'll have to downrank rather than go straight for the highest tier. If you've ever had to do an investigation with silver rewards because silver gave you a better chance at a specific item you want, like a Teostra's Webbing or a Diablos' Majestic Horn, it's like that.
Landon Harris
Should I really drop Ahtal-Ka LS and use Rustrazor instead? the 60+ defense and higher raw sounds nice but it has crap sharpness
Ayden Nguyen

Julian Watson
They did not confirm Kulve weapons would get upgrades, and decorations are the only thing in the game guaranteed to always be useful. An armor skill is not suddenly going to become obsolete just because there are better decorations when those better decorations only fit into specifically sized slots. Level 1, 2, and 3 size slots will still exist.

Hammers are fine. All weapons are fine. Play what you want. If you care about numbers more than anything else, play bow if you liked ranged weapons or dual blades if you like melee weapons and that's it, those are your only non-situational options.
Jason Brown
Every weapon is good.
Hammers are good.
Adam Watson
It's a pretty fun pokemon clone. The RPS gameplay isn't as random as it looks, you can control for it but it still adds an element of randomness that makes defensive strategies relevant so you can deal with a bad match. You get basically the entire cast of MH1 + flagships of every other game, so there's a nice selection of monsters to have on your team.
The end-game is genuinely challenging, you will need to actually bother customising the skills of a monster to deal with a specific fight. Mostly the fun is the special attacks, customising your team and the god-tier music.
Anthony Bell
okay then
looked like they were inferior damage wise to a faster weapon
Luke Price
Why the Koreans tho?
Owen Bennett
Hammer is not fine.
T. Hammer in multiplayer
Benjamin Sanders

Henry White
>how its better/long shelling is trash
Charged shells do 110 damage with a medium range to any body part regardless of hitzone. With focus you fire off shells between quick reloads and out damage just about anything from sheer consistency since you dont need a weakpoint.
Chase Allen
Golden Jho doesn't drop shit and it's a tedious ass fight.
I've had more luck with AT Elders or even just regular Tempered Vaal for some reason. They also drop stuff that's actually useful like Augmentation Gems.
Justin Murphy
Oh is that confirmed? I only heard about the new 2 player scaling.
Thank fuck, breaking parts got ridiculous in multiplayer for health sponges like Jho or especially AT Nerg
Aiden Kelly
The 2.6x KO scaling makes your role even more important.

what a fucking cocktease, it shouldn't have been at a point where it had to be fixed in the first place
Dominic Rivera
That's a good point actually, I really do wonder what the gun will change in to going forward - since this is my first time using bowguns except for using one to farm Caedus in 3U, what kind of changes do Bowguns see between ranks? Do they keep their ammo types and does the recoil/reload typically change too?
Josiah Wilson
Cluster Bombing will be nerfed into oblivion and Spread builds will probably get adjusted too.
If you aren't using either of those, you'll be good.
Aiden Green
Guns never lose ammo types in a tree but they may gain new ones and bigger capacities
There won't be an option for Limiter Removal since guns are basically like that by default already (swap ammo without reloading to switch)
There's new gun mods and they apparently haven't shown all of them yet.
Benjamin Price
Never used spread but you better believe I was using some cluster bombing on my road to catching up with the content. Damn shame, but I suppose other ammo types will be buffed.
Nice I wonder what they could be.
Isaac Lee

Wide Gunlance out-damages Long full stop. So does Normal. So does a non-shelling playstyle with GL provided you have a good one. So does just about every other weapon in the game. Your damage output and "consistency" will only improve by playing Long GL if you're shit at the game otherwise.
Carter Moore
The problem with Spread is it's basically only fun with Taroth Glutton which is locked by Kulve RNG, so maybe it won't get nerfed since it does require you to basically be right next to a monster to do anything.
Considering how LBGs are pretty weak outside of fighting Kulve herself, the bowguns might actually all get buffs overall.
Elijah Lopez
There's an event quest with tempered Deviljho with the best hero stone drop rates in the game. Regular tempered Jho is a longer fight than the EDs but does have the same rates as them.
Jacob Robinson
People have crunched the numbers. Wide shelling is faster, safer, and even beats out charged shelling in damage, especially once you take extra pokes into account.
Not many monsters have poor enough hitzones where the constant shell damage makes a difference, and even when they do Wide still beats out Long.
Normal shelling and the swing combo have even higher potential damage outputs in exchange for longer commitments.
Jordan Howard
Good taste.
Gavin Price
Death Garon
[2]Guts
[4]Multiboost
Multiboost: Increases the damage of follow up attacks
From testing it seems to affect moves that have multiple hits for input. I.e: IG aerial spin, dual blades finisher, lance charge, wyvernheart, helmbreaker, hammer spin. First hit deals normal damage and consecutive hits ramp up, capping at about 3+ hits. The damage boost is very noticible, higher than max attack boost at full stacks.
John Perez
Luna/Nerg HBG is a good 2nd choice to Glutton. Has to reload more often but is otherwise similar, and comes with Guts
Dylan Morales

Parker Parker

Ryder Richardson
>capping at about 3+ hits
seems busted if the boost is as high as you suggest
Carson Robinson
Hot take. What if MH copied dauntless's "boop" mechanic? Where monsters have "Unsafe" attacks(almost always charges and lunges) that you hit them out of with a heavy.
But instead of a guaranteed KO it was just increased KO taken?
So a TCS or golf swing would have a really high chance to KO a monster out of their charge.
Samuel Wilson
doesn't that already happen though? Once I upswinged on anjie with a swaxe while he was doing something and he staggered backwards and toppled right over
Jose Morales
MH has that, dauntless just took it to retarded levels. Yian Garuga is literally what you're talking about
Carter Hall
came back to the game after i stopped playing when i got the deviljo dual blades
what weapon and armor should i aim for? im kinda lost at the moment
Brandon Perez
Jho already has that
Kirin staggers sometimes if he charges into a blocking hunter
Nicholas Hill
Behemoth set and Kulve. That's it. Both will be obsolete in MR
Nicholas Cox
I think that's just unique to deviljho skeleton monsters
They have counter attacks that if you hit them during it its all most guaranteed to KO them.
But they get knocked so far away you cam barely get damage on them.
Dylan Ward
You can hit Nerg during a move for a similarish effect, but instead of a knockdown he reels back before doing another attack.
Blake Myers
I wish they would change the Earplugs so it would be max 3 ranks. It would be so much more worth it.
Owen King
Any word on new points I can add to the list, now that review copies are out?
List of problems with MHWI
>Deluxe kit necessary for new armor set
>Pre order necessary to obtain Yukumo layered set
>This confirms that the the timed event quests are back
>Banbaro doesn’t do much outside of charging at the player and hitting its head on the ground. Continues the World tradition of annoying tremors that combo into hits.
>Beotodus is Jyuratodus reskin with snow instead of mud and a few new moves. Easy, as expected
>The monsters above use the same animations in their turf war as the Barroth vs Jyuratodus one
>Nargacuga has been neutered, tail is now a weakspot, does little damage, cannot keep up with the powercreep of World, dead within 5 minutes. It felt like an early game monster similar to Tobi
>Tigrex now has awful hitboxes, likely intentional, as a way of adding artificial difficulty to an already easy fight. It has been slowed down tremendously and its roar only does damage when its enraged. In the demo, it was given inflated damage values, a sign of things to come.
>Velkhana looks like yet another reuse of the Kushala skeleton
>The weapon models still look like bone and iron metals with monster parts glued to them. The iconic Nargacuga IG has been replaced by a generic iron model, all the weapons in the demo are bone and iron reskins
>It’s obvious that they kept the same "shitty movie soundtrack" mentality for the expansion. Narga's music is awful, as expected, and so is Tigrex’s
>New hunter actions makes the hunter even more overpowered. You can now activate a mount from a slinger shot, something every single weapon can do now, and there are new moves for every weapon. This follows the same design philosophy of world, making the hunter overpowered and the monsters a joke so braindead people can still beat the game
>Palico skill that revives you and gives a free cart, on top of felyne insurance
Also, go back to /vg/, subhumans
Joseph Rogers
Scared of watermarks. I can post more though in a few hours.
I can see how you would think that, but a lot of new skills seem to be on the same level. Gigginox's burning venom in particular have been carrying me.
Lincoln Hernandez
Event Jho is the only tempered Jho
Landon Morales
I believe they showed off a new move for barioth, but yes, I imagine some people will walk right over capcom's wall.
Jeremiah Watson
no the vg thread is containment for the discotrannies
Jackson Russell
>a game that has less content than every other mh game has less content than every other mh game
yes i already knew that but thanks fore reiterating
Alexander Williams
That's not even listfag, that's an outdated list lmao. Someone's hungry for replies
Daniel Howard
Your posts mean jack shit unless you give us concrete evidence, do you also want to tell me that the "Seregios and Zinogre ascii" guy was legit?
Jeremiah Gutierrez
Hey, do me a favor and fucking kill yourself. Thanks.
Joshua Sullivan
5 points should be easy with new armor and decorations
Samuel Barnes
40% nerf to cluster dmg
Ian Gutierrez
In terms of armor:
- Rathalos/Azure Star + Teostra Gamma for Bow/Daggers.
- Xeno Gamma for Bowguns/CB/Gunlance
- Drachen for everything else
- Nerg Gamma is a good generalist end-game set, as are Xeno Gamma and Gala Suit.
- Vaal Gamma is also nice for comfy builds and is very useful against Ancient Leshen.
Outside of a few other choice pieces like Damascus Chest, Zorah Waist, Kushala Gamma Waist, Nerg Beta Helm and Luna Beta Chest, the "best" sets are pretty much set in stone for each weapon.
For weapons, it's whatever. Just look up guides/videos/threats for the best Craftable options. Most of the best weapons are gated behind the Kulve Taroth RNG grind, but there's usually always viable craftable alternatives.

>Muh gathering
World subhumans are all too predictable
Camden White
Take a picture of the screen with your phone, and then stretch the image slightly on one axis (a few% stretch is enough)
Ethan Jackson
Predictably correct about everything. The BING BING WAHOO complaints are so dead and buried at this point that mods actually delete them as a matter of courtesy.
Ryan Russell
Worldtards have no standards, they would rather play the same garbage for hundreds of hours instead of admitting how awful World is

Listen, if you want to bait people here you need to be a touch more subtle, destroyed hopes have made us slightly more intelligent than Smashfags

That's not how it works, but you tried to emulate the board culture I guess.
I believe. I believe in Khezu.

There, fixed it for you mountsier

Enjoy your 40 minute clear times.
Joseph Howard
Your low intelligence was already at full display, but thanks for showcasing that even more
Elijah Cooper
here's your reply
Dominic Foster
Will there be savage Jho in Iceborne?
Joshua Rogers
Mounting sucks. The 3DS games suck. 4U has awful RNG. Vertical levels suck. The target camera is casual. The graphics are awful. The controls are awful.
Camden Garcia
Of course, i can't imagine what asspull Bazelgeuse will get to justify not getting instant gibbed
Matthew Nguyen
Colton Turner
Seething, go farm your MR armors while i rush ruiner nergigante with drachen and aerial IG
Kevin Reyes
Would rather they not neuter Salvage Jho, after the disgrace that is regular Jho. Kill yourself.
Robert Jenkins
BING BING WAHOO
Nolan Price
Alright let's list off the monsters that aren't officially confirmed but are obviously in
Savage Deviljho
Bazelgeuse Variant
Metal Rats
Sandnigger Barioth
Zinigger
Anything else?

>laughs in actual damage and sub 30 clear times
Michael Evans
See and go back to your containment thread.
Cooper Barnes
3DS is shit and the "Monster Hunter" games for 3DS were unplayable. They also had the side effect of bringing in tons of retards to pollute the fanbase.
Nathan Davis
Drachen
It's literally the best armor in the game
Chase Scott
Haven't played past games but deviljhos stomp into pin into slam is pretty wack.
Tempered jho is a 1 shot and you can only escape it three times
Logan Foster

>ugly obese piece of shit Dodogama comes in and roars
>get stunned since he came from behind the camera and i didin't see him
>Deviljho decides that it's an absolutely perfect moment to stomp
>chains into face slam and i die
And that is how i started killing every Dodogama i see
Henry Myers
Brute tigrex
Green naruga
Aiden Reed
Next time consider killing yourself
Hudson Roberts
Do you think he will? what makes you think there is anything to show and he's not just lying?
Jackson Garcia
We're gonna find out which posts are samefagged very soon. Hold on
Liam Ward
Crystalburst still works even once flashes stop working for that
Hunter Miller
Dodo is such a shit monster. It's literally just a blue great jagras that spits rock lmao
John Cruz
Mad that your shitty wannabe Tetsucabra is getting killed, WORLDSPERM?
Charles Smith
>Jho already has that
when?
Aiden Martinez
He was probably created extremely late in dev time like Tzitzi Ya kuck(he's actually the very last monster they worked on before dlc)
Levi Thomas
What gets me about Dodogama is he is just a low tier jobber monster, and his roar doesn’t even sound particularly loud or intimidating. So being stunned by it without earplugs is kind of aggravating in that way.
Chase Young
Implying anyone would want to be tetsu
God 4U monsters were SHIT besides seltas
Adrian Campbell
4u was just shit all around.
Jose Hughes
Is he arguing with himself again? it happened on /mhg/ before deletion
Chase Campbell
Sometimes when you hit Jho while he is attack he reels back and then tries to lunge at you, and if you hit him during that animation he will eater stagger backward or get knocked down briefly.
Noah Collins
Thats true. It was at least better than gen and genU, but not much of an accomplishment considering those were spinoffs
Christian Johnson
I think it's just because he's found later in the game, even Beotodus stuns you with his roar
Ryan Wood
>deleted
not even surprised, he wasn't subtle about it
Owen Foster
Where's my valbros?
Jonathan Adams
I choose to believe they'll just do the rares, lucent and molten instead.
Angel Peterson
Bing
Jose Price
Nah gu was better than 4u
Nolan Sullivan
I beg to differ
Owen Gray
the lunge that pins you?
Jacob Myers
Welp, its real
Jackson Garcia
No it's when he drags his face along the ground, hit him during or immediately after that and he goes reeling. If he's enraged it knocks him back to normal too.
Henry Russell
The only new monsters made after Dodo were, Kulve, Bazel, Tzitzi, behemoth and Leshen, in that order.
Daniel Ramirez
i liked zamtrios and nerscylla, and i appreciated the attempt at najarala even if it wasn't a fun fight.
much better than more deviljho and rathalos reskins
John Adams
No, it’s specifically a reactionary attack that he does in response to being hit during other attacks. Seems a little random but it always happens two or three times at the least when I fight him.
Brayden Hill
Right here.
Alexander Roberts
It's real, they just posted pic in the other thread
Brody Nguyen
is this based on their position in the game files or something? when were jyura and lavasioth?
