Some anon did some testing on how the Attack Power increases from different items stack & measure against each other in MHW

Note, these are the raw damage values, not the bloated ones you see if you look at your stats.

>Canteen (L).

+15

Until cart.

>Demondrug.

+5

Until cart.

>Mega Demondrug.

+7

Until cart.

>Might Seed.

+10

3 minutes.

>Might Pill.

+25

20 seconds.

>Demon Powder.

+10

3 minutes.

Also affects nearby allies.

Stacking

Demondrug and Mega Demondrug do not stack, and Mega will overwrite the regular.

Mightseed and Mightpill do not stack, Pill will overwrite the seed.

Everything else stacks with eachother, And also with hunting horn songs.

They also stack with all armor skills.

Extra

>For maximum damage:

Eat for Attack Up (L)

Mega Demondrug, at start.

Might Seed + Demon Powder when you are about to engage the monster. (Repeat every time you chase the monster after it flees)

Might Pill is only good in very limited things like using one before waking up a sleeping monster.

Same also applies for defense items, so if you are feeling vulnerable, try drinking a (Mega) Armorskin at start and eating an Adamant Seed when engaging a monster.

Monster hunter world is pretty fucking good.

Copypaste from previous thread, thank you for your hard work anon

Did some research on Tempered Monsters in MHW

And collected them in this post for easy digestion.

What is a tempered monster?

Tempered monsters are the endgame/postgame monsters in MHW.

They are just like the regular monsters, but have increased attack power (enough to one shot geared hunters with certain attacks.)

Tempered monsters also have a purple outline in their icon and leave blue tracks.

Investigations with tempered monsters also have purple reward boxes.

Categorically the tempered monsters fall into 3 groups:

>1st tier, HR 13+.

Pukei-Pukei

Barroth

Jyuratodus

Tobi-Kadachi

Radobaan

Paolumu

Rathian

Anjanath

>2nd tier, HR 30+

Rathalos (Might be tier 1, could not confirm)

A.Rathalos

P.Rathian

Diablos

B.Diablos

Odogaron

Legiana

Bazelgeuse

Lavasioth

Uragaan

>3rd tier, HR 50+

Nergigantte

Teostra

Kushala Daora

Vaal Hazak

Kirin

Higher the tier, the better the rewards.

Note: the highest rarity drops are exclusive to the 3rd tier.

Where to fight them?

Tempered monsters are primarily investigation only, there are also few quests that pit you against tempered monsters.

Tempered monster investigations are generally unlocked by gathering tempered tracks in expeditions. (These tracks seem to always spawn in the same spots)

You can also them the same way as normal investigations when hunting tempered monsters. (break parts, gather tracks) But the chance is very low.

They are also found under Investigations section when responding to S.O.S.

Why to fight them?

Tempered monsters drop streamstones in rewards and tempered monster investigations reward either streamstones or feystones.

Streamstones are used to augment Armor. They also come in different rarities.

Streamstones can also be used at the melding pot to create new random decorations out of the old ones.

You can also rarely get "warrior's streamstone" from 2nd tier upwards, they come in different types like Axe (Switch Axe & Charge Blade), Ranged (Bowgun's & Bow), etc, and can be used to augment the corresponding weapon types.

Warrior's streamstones also have a rare version called "hero's streamstone" needed for augmenting Tier 8 weapons.

Note: that lower rarity armor require lower rarity streamstones to augment and lower rarity weapons have more augment slots.

Feystones turn into decorations when identified, and come in several different rarities.

This is the only real way of getting rare decorations, and the fastest way of getting decorations in general.

There are decorations for at least some of the set bonuses present in the game. (Bonus charge level for bow, Extra damage on non elemental weapons, etc).

Augmenting quick and dirty

Weapons can be Augmented following ways:

Increased attack (+5 raw)

Increased affinity (+10%)

Bonus defense (+10)

Extra slots (potentially upgrade existing slot)

Heal on attack

Note: Numbers can potentially vary depending on weapon type.

Rarity 8 weapons have 1 augment slot, Rarity 7 has 2 and Rarity 6 has 3.

Each augment also requires different plates and gems for different monsters.

Note: A weapon must be at the end of it's upgrade path to be augmented.

OFFICIAL /MHG/ SQUAD

EIGHTH FLEET

Eighth Fleet squad session ID: 62FjtKT8GyTp

Joining the session does not change anything. It's like a LAN or lobby. You can still solo quests. This means you can join and continue on as normal while chatting.

When you post a quest, it will be visible to the rest of us and we can join before you depart or during the quest.

For those who still need an invite: just type in the ID in "join online session" | "search via ID"

Reminder that you don't need the ID if you're already in the squad, but if you can't seem to connect to the one that already exists (via squad session search), you might want to use the ID instead.

Unfortunately, the gathering hall hub is near-pointless since you can just post the quests from the village. That being said, we like to see that pretty face, so afk there and not the gay village unless you want to be a homo.

Will reply to this post when ID changes

>tfw only just got to high rank

>>14278585

So exactly like before?

Needs more poogie love tbh

Plates drop very easily in this game, i just carved two off a Rathian and got 2 from a Rathalos in the rewards. I also got 3 gems from 1 fight against Zorah Magdoros yesterday without a lucky voucher. When i did use a voucher i always got 2 of them.

>>14278626

New room when?

>>14278675

I've only been there since yesterday and I've only made Zorahs armor so far.

Should I just wait for the PC release?

>>14278744

G-rank isn't out, they're still adding in monsters that have been core to the series for years, so yes.

>>14278744

Get it on Bloodborne box for jolly cooperation, give in to temptation.

The current Scrapping with Shamos event seems to drop two feystones a run. Good farm for herbs and (blue deer I cannae remember)horns as well, three minutes a run if you're quick about it.

>>14278762

>The current Scrapping with Shamos

that's just to get the eyepatch overall right? I can't tell if there's more to that set or not and i only did that event twice

>>14278762

Are folks going on PS4 or the pro?

>>14278675

>get to high rank

>go help a friend with low rank quests (using low rank gear because no free carries

>okay time for high rank

>help another friend through low ranks

admittedly i am having lots of fun but still

>>14278978

Guard is okay, but not that needed. You would probably benefit more from just damage up. Artillery is pretty good I think.

>>14278838

no cuntsniffing smirk and no straw/10

Try again, aniki.

CBA reloading areas and checking one spot to have a roll at getting an elder dragon investigation.

so far its been the only big mess in the game for me, I am HR 59 odd, the games already shown me one tempered elder dragon and I know I can beat them but to get more the only way seems to refresh the SOS investigations until I see one or to reload any of the areas in expedition mode and check the 1 footprint per spawn to get a chance at getting more.

>>14279207

Tempered Elder Dragon Investigations I should say.

>>14279210

I should also say weapon augments and all the good gems are locked behind these investigations, and doing investigations doesn't get you any more of them, only checking footprints does, and only during the mission not after it's complete, just incase any anons need this info sorry for spamming.

>>14279207

This kind of stuff is quickly starting to become the worst part of this game. I wanted to get another Golden wyverian print and one way to get those is to complete the expedition researchers quests. I'm completely stuck right now because the endemic researcher wants me to catch a bird that randomly spawns during dawn or dusk on specific herbivores. Time slowly progresses in expeditions and when you travel between areas/HQ. The problem being that dawn and dusk only last for a single fast travel, maybe two if you're fast enough. Same with the rare bird that spawns on mosswine.

Is there anything in world more satisfying than being on a large wyvernns head during a mount attack and using a charged blast element CB for a giant elemental axe discharge attack?

>>14279342

Pyro does.

>>14279377

a perfectly timed greatsword charge into knockdown

>>14279377

Looking a Diabolos dead in the eye as it headlong charges, knocking it aside as you encore damage buff(L), breaking its second horn as well as dropping a beautiful scale from the bandit cloak you dawned like a matador cape comes pretty close methinks.

>>14279075

I don't know if I can get tonight, I just hope I can get into a session that isn't empty.

Also, am I the only one with a semi autistic obsession in collecting weapons? at least from one tree.

>>14279414

Category I mean.

After I collect enouth greatswords I'll go with hunting horns or gunlances.

>>14279414

No I'm the same I don't consider myself done with the game until I've built every weapon in the game with whatever I'm using for that game.

>>14279431

I'm not so into upgrading all the weapons. I just like to focus in the ones I like.

Also, silly question. Do the sailor bring any usefull crafting item? or should I focus on him bringing me money items?

>>14279377

Gotcha bitch

>>14278744

Yes, please don't listen to these idiots. If you are not interested in Yakuza and a few other games just wait for pc. It'll probably have a crack as well. This game isn't worth $360.

>>14279445

I've just been having him bringing me money since money is probably the biggest limiting factor in the game until you can start selling parts from hunts.

>>14279485

I'll never be that good at MonHun.

>>14279537

Weird. I always felt like money is pretty easy to get, but I'm still discovering the mysterious new Rathian, so I don't know if everything gets ridiculously expensive soon.

>>14279555

It depends on how much you grind and how much you build.

>>14279561

I can say I grind a lot, and early I grinded many quests at first.

>>14279567

Did you build/upgrade a lot of equipment?

>>14279545

Will anyone really be?

Though I have killed charging diablos with gs charge and lance dash's stab. Those were neat.

>>14279575

yeah, but I had to grind a lot to get the materials first. I am actually following all the avariable weapon branches except 3 or 4.

I'm just at 100k and it doesn't go up or down.

>>14279581

Yeah I killed a Nergigante by guardpointing his dive bomb it was fucking awesome. I'm still awful though and if I didn't pull off that guard I would have failed the quest.

>>14279584

If you are at that point you are probably okay. I think what is killed my money was upgrading my armour. That seems to be stupidly expensive and everyone else I know who is broke did that.

>>14279594

Oh yeah. I wore the same armor until I reached high rank.

There is no need for buying all armors especially when some of them look like horrorific sentai ripoffs.

>>14279594

>Yeah I killed a Nergigante by guardpointing his dive bomb it was fucking awesome. I'm still awful though and if I didn't pull off that guard I would have failed the quest.

"Hardcore" hunters who quit after one cart because it would besmirch their spotless record will never know the adrenaline of having no carts left and defeating the monster in a glorious Hail Mary.

So what kind of stats make for a good HBG? I know the slicing shot meme, and a glance at kiranico shows the kadachi bowgun with four slicing shots and the two ore/bone lines have three each. Are those some of the min/max memelord weapons?

>>14279670

All you want for the memes is kadachi bowgun with the skill that sometimes doesn't use up your ammo. Other skills are just bonus.

>>14279684

Fukken sweet, time for memes.

>>14279342

Blast technically isn't a status, so no, nothing that increases "status" effects Blast.

>>14279136

>Gems seem to have replaced plates as the "must-have rare drop".

Does World treat gems as something different now? They've always just been High Rank's new name for plates, no different than how "Scale" becomes "Scale+" or "Shell" becomes "Carapace", or how "Plate" and "Gem"/"Ruby"/"Skymerald" and so on become "Mantle" in G-rank.

>>14279716

>Blast technically isn't a status, so no, nothing that increases "status" effects Blast.

thanks, I wasn't sure because it's in the status list in the monster notebook but these things have always been finicky

>>14279485

I miss this greatsword, I spent 110 hours trying to get this version in world to work but it's just not great, you have to do Draw > charge up > tackle > charge up > tackle to get to the big swing combo and hitting it is such a pain in the cunt that you are much better off just using lance or longsword for more frequent attacks rather than big burst.

Also the multiplayer scaling is fucked to the point where me and my brother can both kill elder dragons in 5 minutes solo but if we team up it goes up to 10 minutes a kill, way to encourage us to team up fuck my life man.

Does it even make sense to make a full armor set in MHW?

>>14279820

Some of the high rank makes sense, complementary skills, but the set bonuses are three out of five pieces. Mostly do it for unity of aesthetic.

>>14279820

Certain sets give set bonuses. Besides, fashion hunting has always been a legitimate strategy.

>>14279742

You dont have to tackle always with the GS, only if you can benefit from the shield effect or the reposition. If you cancel the second charge with tackle the final one takes more time to reach full power.

So basically to deal damage fast is Draw > charge lv.0 > charge Full using the tackle in between if you need it.

Problem in world is that only the last charge deal significant damage.

>>14279733

It's retarded. If my memory is right, it's worked like this since way back when it was still called Slime in 3U. It's generally boosted by things that boost explosives, which makes sense, so I guess they thought having it be buffed by both those skills and by general status skills would have made it even more OP than it already was. Or maybe it's because other statuses apply a continuous and more traditional "status effect" once they trigger, whereas blast is an instantaneous effect? Falling asleep, being paralyzed, and being poisoned are all traditional RPG status effects, but it'd be a stretch to consider an instant explosion a "status effect". Whatever the logic behind it is, they should really make it more clear Blast isn't technically considered a "status" in-game, because when they list Blast under the status list and group it with all the other statuses, then there are obviously going to be a lot of people who think it's going to be effected by the same skills as para, poison, and sleep.

>>14279916

>Not a horrible game, but a bad monster hunter

you know i don't disagree with how microtransactions and e-sport pushing is a bad thing but that sentence establishes that you're a blowhard sperg trying to lap at the tit of previous monster hunter games that everyone here also likely played.

>>14279892

Its good and this has nintendrones in total catastrophic meltdown.

>>14279929

What are you even talking about, it's part of a series and changing things to be more accessible makes it feel like a toukiden game more than a monster hunter. Not to mention how they approach the multiplayer and the like

Monster Hunter World

>Despite the lack of a number, World was developed with the intent of being "Monster Hunter 5" and was built specifically to target foreign audiences who found the series too challenging.

>Like all first releases of a generation, World only goes up to High Rank. Capcom has not confirmed or denied whether G Rank content will be made, or how it will be released if it is.

>World has the first instances of paid DLC in the franchise. All paid DLC thus far has been cosmetic, and thus far all announced monster-related content is free.

>There is no longer a Village/Gathering Hall distinction. All quests can be done multiplayer. By the same token, players can no longer take on "multiplayer" quests solo, since when in single player the difficulty is set lower, and only switched to the higher difficulty if other players are present. Like in previous titles, it's a purely single/multi distinction, so difficulty is the same regardless of number of players

>Online servers are now region-free, so JP players can play with foreign players and vice versa. Filters can be set by language.

>World is rather story-intensive even compared to 4, with a large amount of cutscenes both between and during hunts. Cutscenes are unskippable. Voice acting in actual languages appears for the first time in the franchise, though traditional "Monster Hunter" language can also be enabled.

>HP damage numbers that indicate how much damage attacks do appear for the first time. They can be turned off.

>Glowing green bugs highlight interactable objects on the screen and guide the player to the monster. The ability to track monsters starts weaker and increases the more experience they gain until they at all times display a monster's position. They cannot be turned off.

>An in-game wiki-like feature has been included that gives rough estimations of weak points and drop rates.

>World launched with 30 large monsters. For comparison the most recent non-G Rank Monster Hunter titles, 4 and X/Generations, had 51 and 69 respectively. Patches will be released to up the monster count, with the first set for sometime in the spring to add Deviljho.

>Armor is no longer distinguished between Blademaster and Gunner. Regardless of weapon any armor can be equipped, with melee weapons giving a defensive boost and ranged weapons giving an elemental resistance boost.

>Armor Skills no longer require a base threshhold of points to activate, even a single point in a Skill is enough to activate it, with the effect increasing at higher levels. There are no Minus Skills. Further, some Armor sets have "set bonuses" that activate when wearing multiple pieces of the same set.

>New tools that can be used an infinite number of times with a cooldown between uses. Effects range from providing periodic healing to status resistance, even up to stealth effects and damage negation.

>Due to the removal of loading screens between zones, maps are about 2-2.5x the size of previous titles.

>Each map now has multiple base camps, which can be freely teleported to at any time when not in combat.

>Base camps allow the player to restock on all items freely throughout the hunt, as well as change out gear wholesale, including any items on cooldown. Players can eat multiple times per hunt at base camps as well.

>Bowguns can now be fired and items used "on the move." For instance, Potions no longer require the player to stand still, and with a slight loss of speed the players can even run while drinking. As a caveat, healing is no longer instant, and occurs throughout the duration of the drinking part of the animation.

>Whetstones, Bug Nets, and Pickaxes are no longer consumable items, instead simply being infinite use.

>Combinations can be "preprogrammed" to run automatically, allowing players to combine for more Potions or ammunition without needing to find a safe opening to open the menu.

>Areas now contain environmental traps that can restrain monsters or knock them into other areas. Some of these can affect the player as well.

>Regardless of other gear, all players now have a "Slinger" to fire off items that were previously thrown as projectiles, as well as to interact with the environment as a grappling hook for travel or to utilize environmental traps.

>Some monsters will ignore the players entirely until attacked, and monsters will at times ignore the players even mid-battle in favor of entering short interactive cutscenes where they battle other monsters, dealing large amounts of damage to them and possibly incapacitating them.

>>14279950

2 of the 3 mentions there are easy to ignore, if you feel they make the game too easy. as for the carting bit, what specifically are you referring to?

>>14279950

>needing infinite healing items

just git gud, my man. Also, being able to absorb a single hit from a tempered monster with vitality mantle sure is game breaking :^)

>>14279971

>what specifically are you referring to?

after a set amount of time i don't know the exact number of you can eat your meal again at camp

>>14279950

A lot of bad design inflicted on the franchise for a variety of reasons have been removed. it's not that the game is easier because they lowered monster difficulty, but rather players are given more tools and freedom which indirectly makes hunt easier, like how Dark Souls 3 is easier than Dark Souls 1 because the game doesnt play like hot garbage anymore targeting-wise. Hard monsters are still hard.

You purists are as retarded and stubborn as Meleefags.

>>14279892

It's good. There's definitely legitimate criticisms you can make (Palicos are OP, the gathering hall is fucking useless and dead, unskippable cutscenes), but the core Monster Hunter gameplay is still there.

It's a shame most of the detractors devolve into autistic screeching instead of actually making arguments and keeping the thread civil.

>>14279950

>mantles

Aren't that great. They're useful, but are far from the biggest problem.

>removing penalty for carting due to how the food now works

You can only eat every 10 minutes. In addition, each type of food can only be used once. Since only fresh food gives health and a chance of activating daily skills, eating after the first time usually just gives stamina and the buff associated with that food.

>being able to have infinite items during a hunt provided you have them in your main storage

This is bad. Thankfully you can play around it and just not restock on items.

>>14279986

>Palicos are OP

I gave mine the radoman armor/weapon because it looked funny but know he puts a monster to sleep once or twice a hunt, the dude slaps

>>14279971

Well see in previous games carting has the added penalty of making you lose your food buff. But as you can just you know ignore that provided you cart less than once every 10 minutes it removes any supplementary penalty. And honestly if you cart more than once every ten minutes you really should be playing a different game, there's no helping you.

>>14279982

Not really, the monster AI wasn't really adjusted on the older monster for the massively more mobile hunters, leading all older monsters to be basically completely nonthreatening. HBG for some reason has hunter arts brought back under a new coat of paint and lost the whole idea of what made it unique compared to bow or LBG with how you can move now.

>>14279986

Just ignore it isn't really a reason to accept it. It's the same shit with hunter arts and the like from gen, you're just gimping yourself if you're not abusing the casualized shit, and as the game's easy enough that the only real challenge is TAs, we have a conflicting issue.

>>14279986

>It's a shame most of the detractors devolve into autistic screeching instead of actually making arguments and keeping the thread civil.

I tend to see the opposite actually - most of the detractors make rational arguments and points, while the supporters primarily shitpost and try to dismiss anyone who doesn't like the game as salty Nintenyearolds or the sinister Nipanon.

>>14280008

>most of the detractors make rational arguments and points

Using buzzwords like casualized, westernized, etc is not an argument.

>>14280003

>monsters nonthreatening

>game so easy

>gimping yourself if not abusing the casualized shit

if the game is so easy, why would you need to abuse the casualized shit?

>>14280003

>leading all older monsters to be basically completely nonthreatening.

That's how I felt with the Barroth. Then again, that just might be me getting good. I haven't had any trouble with that monster for the most part anyway.

>>14280022

Neither is using ones like salty, Nintenyearold, or Nipanon.

>>14280028

You don't. You're losing an edge over people who do though. and as TAs are the only real content that matters, you see where direct competition matters

>>14280027

You’re so in denial it hurts.

>>14280045

Say that to capcom, they're trying to turn it into an esport

>>14280052

Who gives a fuck what capcom wants?

>>14280027

>implying people sit around all day lying on the internet to trick dummies like you

Your unwarranted sense of self-importance is baffling.

>>14280055

They're not that common, but they do make the hunts easier when they happen

>>14280055

>This is very useful, thank you.

Didn't make it myself, just reposting it since the current OP forgot to, but glad it could help.

>>14280052

What? You mean retards do stupid shit? It's going to implode spectacularly and they'll lose tons of money on it and won't learn a single lesson.

>>14280077

Don't even get me started on how bad gen was. Still the worst monster hunter game to the point where I'd say it's not even worth playing.

But just the general moves of monsters that were carried over are much more suited to hitting the slower hunter from before rather than the anime character you play in world (or gen because absolute evade was horrific)

>>14279957

>>Whetstones, Bug Nets, and Pickaxes are no longer consumable items, instead simply being infinite use.

this is one i'm still on the fence about, I feel like i'm spending a lot more time per hunt sharpening, especially when my weapons were more lower rank. I don't miss consumable nets/axes and I'm actually glad that ores and shit don't hog up my pouch space anymore. Changes like that actually made it so I could get straight to the fighting parts of the game even faster and gathering while on quest isn't as annoying

>>Regardless of other gear, all players now have a "Slinger" to fire off items that were previously thrown as projectiles, as well as to interact with the environment as a grappling hook for travel or to utilize environmental traps.

The slinger is fucking fun i don't care if it's casual or not, it's a lot more fun to use it to shoot flash bombs than the janky old throwing systems, and swinging around a map is fun. Getting free slinger bombs when beating up a monster enough is kinda lame though. It is cool that you can use the torch bombs in the rotten vale to break the poison effect out

>>14280090

>It is cool that you can use the torch bombs in the rotten vale to break the poison effect out

It's what now?

>>14279957

If I'm not wrong the automatic combinations only happen if you gather the items on the field. If there is other way to do so I have yet to see it.

You can assign combos to the radial menu but they only make one item at a time.

>>14279861

The last charge only gets to true charge if you do a tackle before it, if you do draw > 3 charge the max charge for the last one is only 2, if you do draw > start charging > tackle > start charging > true charge gets 3 levels.

>>14280088

I can see what you're saying, but the only monster I completely agree with what you is Barroth which was castrated in this game, but Barroth is also a very early LR monster now.

I guess Diablos is also slower until he gets enraged, but that's it.

I guess Daora is easy too if you spam slicing ammo, but that's everything.

>>14280149

Slicing ammo is absurd in this game for whatever reason

>>14280138

I think the two charge from the previous charge does the same damage as the three charge from the tackle. Might be wrong, but it's worth investigating.

>>14280109

if you shoot torch pods at the ground in the shitty areas of the rotten vale it will disperse the poison gas

>>14280138

I've checked and they deal the same damage, being the only difference the time it takes.

I'll be doing some more testing tomorrow just in case.

>>14280178

Oh neat. Kind of a cool little detail.

>>14280184

>>14280174

I just checked this right now and the 3 charge true strike hits more on both of the hits.

>>14280211

You know you can filter by language so you only get English speakers, right?

>>14280228

Can't you only choose between your own language and world-wide?

my region is probably even worse

>>14280223

Jesus christ that is a retarded design.

>>14280233

I believe so, would be a little odd if you were playing in English and filtered yourself out by selecting Japanese only or vice versa. It's probably decided by the language you choose in-game though, not the physical area you live in.

>my region is probably even worse

France?

>>14280223

Just checked myself

Draw > charge > charge

53 and 463

Draw > tackle > charge

53 and 463

This is in the training area without gear

>>14280281

Also more interesting data.

Draw atack

109

lv 3 1st charge

203

lv 0 second charge

150

lv3 second charge

222

Jesus what a joke

>>14280223

Oh, if you hold the two charge too long, it'll auto fire and do less damage than letting it go at the right time.

>>14280314

Isn't that how Greatsword charges have always worked?

>>14280326

that implies people who came into the series have ever played a monster hunter before

>>14280326

Probably? I'm not familiar with the exact mechanics.

>>14280281

Dang, I must have crit my bad, it's still retarded the 3 charge true strike should hit more its harder to pull off, either way the greatsword is shit, the highest raw damage weapon (arena) can't get white sharpness even with handicraft 5.

and elementless is where it's at because you can slot in elementless up and put the whole diablos set effect into one gem.

Uh oh.

>>14280593

>It'll take that long for Destiny players to give up

Either you're overstimating how good they are, or World is that fucking brainless I hope to god it's the former

>>14280488

>3 charge

You mean two charge? The two tackle charge seems like it's the easier one to get off.

>>14280612

Granted This is my 5th monster hunter however low rank in world is the easiest I've played. Unless I was just refusing to heal I never carted. However this is pretty much the same experience I had with MHX's low rank.

>>14280582

>this fucking gamespot reviewer

<"The more I played destiny the less assured I am that my time will be worth it. Too much of it feels up to chance. Destiny demands that you spend a lot of time with it, but doesn't guarantee that this time will be worth it."

Retarded reviewer can't tell a good game from a cashgrab skinner box. Nevermind, it seems this realization was the point of the vid. Although the reviewer seems really amazed that a game can be fun to play and offer decent challenges along with meaningful progression. I guess that's what happens when you work for gamespot and your job is to burn through current-year AAA garbage.

>>14280827

He sounds like the average WoWscum that thinks they should immediately get some kind of gear upgrade if they even look sideways at content. One of those 'I only play two hours a week, but I deserve all the same rewards as the people who invest time and effort.'

is there a good way to farm hardbones? need a bunch for armor and weapon upgrades

>>14280963

Anything around pink rathian tier monsters I think.

Try G. Girros maybe.

>>14280963

you can get it as a reward for killing uragaan if I remember right

>>14279950

Eating after a cart never gives you fresh ingredients. You will almost never get food skills, and no one is forcing you to double eat. No one is forcing you to use any of the "casual" features in this game. I made it a personal quest to kill nergigante with zero carts and no calico before I opened him up to other players to join and it was one of the most difficult things I have ever done in all 3,000 plus hours of Monster Hunting I have under my belt.

No one is forcing you at gunpoint to play like a casual, anon.

>>14281078

ive been farming him and get 1-2 each hunt and need 12 i think

>>14281186

Pretty much any high rank monster will get you hardbones. I can't wait for grank. Holy fuck it's going to be so good guys.

>>14280308

Basically they made 0-2 charge useful because casuals can't handle waiting to deal optimal damage. All about rushing that DPS now.

>>14281192

>G Rank

I've got bad news Anon…

>>14281237

My theory is that with how well it's selling they will do G rank expansion/dlc.

>>14280228

>You can filter to language

How? I want Mexico out.

>>14281238

They'll likely do a G version like they always do, just the tone of it sounds like he thinks G Rank is in the game and he's looking forward to it.

>>14281078

I've gotten some from rathalos.

>>14281242

Just choose your default language as english for voice (I think).

>>14281256

Why does the filename say he put the controller down? Did he put it down and go AFK thinking they would leave him alone and then rush back when he heard shit going down? I just don't get it.

>>14281324

Is that what the filename says? I think it makes sense, the last input is around 20 seconds and he moves the camera at 26 when he picks the controller back up.

>>14281164

No one is forcing you to use Styles and Arts in Gen and XX either. No one is forcing you to use charms in 3rd gen. No one is forcing you to use quest markers in Oblivion and Skyrim, no one is forcing you to time your inputs any sloppier in SFV, no one is forcing you to buy P2W microtransactions in countless games, no one is forcing you to use most kinds of casualization in most games. That doesn't make it acceptable. Shills keep trying this argument, with every single game pandering to casuals by making everything easier and simpler and removing more and more consequences ruins. No one's buying into this bullshit you're trying to feed us. Just ignoring the side effects caused by a fundamental difference in a game's design theory, the side effects of a cancer slowly killing the gaming industry as a whole, will not make that cancer go away. You can make a game as piss easy as pokemon hard as fuck if you're willing to gimp yourself in a dozen different ways, that doesn't mean that pokemon isn't one of the most casual friendly, hand-holding games in Nintendo's entire lineup, and doesn't mean it isn't designed to be completed by 4 year old children. World was designed for people who refused to play old MH games because it was too hard. It was designed for people who couldn't even count to 10 without having an aneurysm. It was designed for people who couldn't bare to stand still for 3 whole seconds without throwing out the game in a fit of ADHD induced rage, or who bitched that trying to use the slowest attack on the slowest weapon in the game would lock them into place for a moment and they couldn't evade out of the attack before it even released.

So I doubt Deviljho is gonna be all that comes in the spring DLC. What other monsters you guys wanna see? Here's what I'm hoping for:

>Tigrex

>Nargacuga

>Zinogre

>Chameleos

>Khezu

>>14279545

If you wanna feel inadequate you should see some of the montages the Germans have put together. Those guys turned knocking wyverns out of the sky into an art form.

>>14281657

Makes me wonder where they went wrong with the story handler. I still stand by my theory that they were trying to make her a more western looking girl but because nips don't know what a westerner looks like they made her ugly.

>>14281854

>tigrex and zinogre

yes please

>khezu

please no more

Ugh, the fucking UI in this game is so ugly. Why did they change it, they completely ruined that made game unique. Its artstyle.

>>14281862

ruined the one thing* fuck me, nb

>started 4u and picked up charge blade

>upgraded it twice before i got to jaggi

>killed chupacabra and still havent been able to upgrade it

this feels weird, especially coming from SnS in FU

>>14281854

>Makes me wonder where they went wrong with the story handler. I still stand by my theory that they were trying to make her a more western looking girl but because nips don't know what a westerner looks like they made her ugly.

Please be patient. The Handler has autism.

>>14281914

For some reason Capcom tried to keep CB from dominating 4U by making it's upgrade path a lot longer between upgrades (once you get past the simple Jaggi and Iron/Machalite upgrades) and a lot more tedious and material intensive than the other weapons to upgrade.

This obviously didn't work as CB is one of the strongest weapons in both 4U and World. Even if it did require extra grinding in 4U.

>>14281941

>CB is one of the strongest weapons in both 4U and World.

It is? it would explain why everything feels a bit easier in comparison to FU,

>>14281981

Dont forget the brutal damage SAED deals.

>>14281997

>But frankly, the less monsters that end up in world, the better, because the shills and cuckchanners that think the game is remotely hard is insulting.

What is the real logic behind this?

>>14282001

(You)'s

>>14282007

Probably. The nigger didn't even know that it is called SAED regardless if it is impact or elemental phial.

>>14282001

No logic. This game has really upset the local drooling fucking retards.

>>14281941

Other way around, it's early game progression is a carryover from vanilla 4 where it was dismissed pretty universally as meh. 4U turned it around really heavily.

>>14282012

Completely opposite, it's drawn in the morons from outside to come shitposting to defend it.

>>14282105

How is Wii emulation these days anyhow? I still need to play Tri someday.

>>14282105

Are you complaining about the arena mission that spawns if you capture something or are you taking those screencaps completely seriously?

>>14282126

Good.A bit too much bloom but maybe that's fixable and I was too lazy

>>14281972

Not really. It has an extremely high skill ceiling, but even at its best, it can't come close to GS or IG. It's just that it's extremely easy to use at a more basic level despite that high ceiling, and its insanely high ability to KO by practically buttonmashing mindlessly allows even the lowest skilled shitters to get to G-rank. If you want to see the true strongest weapon in 4U, give Insect Glaive a try. It can perform only slightly worse than GS does, on GS's best matchups. But it can perform just as well on pretty much anything, lacking any major "bad matchup", meaning it's about to kill almost anything faster than any other weapon, aside from GS's handful of best matchups. Top tier IG play is a beauty to behold, and it needed to be nerfed into oblivion for Generations.

>>14282164

Awesome. Can it run from legit discs?

>paralyze into knockout into sleep into knockdown into paralyze into stun

hammer is so much fucking fun in this one

>>14282321

I just got to high rank quests and I'm having a lot of fun with Magdaros' blast hammer, tbh.

It's a shame that blast damage apparently doesn't scale at all, it's 80, 100, or 120 depending on their resistance

>>14282129

Didn't you know anon? It's totally like those screen caps. It's even worse. The monsters will go out of the way to get caught in traps. Smoke even blast my chemical romance as the vines tighten around their useless throats. And they are every where. I was fight Tempered Ajanath in the ancient forest and he was spilling his spaghetti all over the place. He certainly wasn't one shooting me with his flame breath in Nergigante gear.

>>14282376

I've been using the girro tree hammer which seems stupid powerful since you can paralyze a monster into a knockout like a complete animal with it, shits fun though

>>14282521

The Monster Hunter fanbase that existed before World is a bunch of minmaxing autists who know every trick in the book and don't consider something to be difficult unless the button combinations required to beat it actually give you a repetitive stress injury.

>>14281981

>It's tricky to use

it really is for me

>keep forgetting to stall out 3rd hit so i dont lose red shield

>always fuck up guard points

>im terrible about when to switch and usually do it to late

>im forgetfull about getting into red shield

>>14282171

Whatis IG like? i was thinking bout trying it out,

also i was wondering if you could feed the kinsect the Stat+element things to get the best kinsect?

>>14282521

Got any evidence? Because it's more likely that you're either doing something wrong, lying or are undergeared.

>>14282567

I can strawman too!

The Monster Hunter fanbase that exists after World is a bunch normalfags attracted by flashy moves who know nothing about the series and don't consider something to be easy unless the monster damage is high to compensate for the player's increase in power instead of improving monster behavior to work better with the new player options.

On another note, mind explaining how the old games were "janky" when the monsters were designed with your movement options in mind so it never feels unfair? This is starting to remind me of the bullshit I keep hearing about tank controls sucking shit in Resident Evil when the games they're used in are built around them so it feels tight, fair and satisfying to master the enemies behavior in relation to your movement options. Actual jank like hitboxes was fixed ages ago, while actual quality of life improvements like crafting items by holding confirm have been added long ago. Crafting items during combat with the item wheel isn't a fucking QoL improvement when it lets you craft ammo during a fight without needing to disengage from the monster or taking the risk of doing it during combat, a risk that can be mitigated by placement, monster knowledge and even how fast you can navigate the menus or being able to change gear during a hunt/eat during a hunt/grab items during a hunt which completely removes the need to prepare for a hunt. Tracking's a good idea if the scoutflies weren't shit that helps with the feeling of hunting monsters, bringing your entire fridge full of drinks and every weapon and ammo type you own in your car isn't.

>>14282604

>I can strawman too!

>The Monster Hunter fanbase that exists after World is a bunch normalfags attracted by flashy moves who know nothing about the series and don't consider something to be easy unless the monster damage is high to compensate for the player's increase in power instead of improving monster behavior to work better with the new player options.

Is that really a strawman when the director outright said World was built with those people in mind as the target audience?

>>14279545

Really though, you gotta consider how many bloopers he had. These guys do way crazier shit, but they have an outtakes section at the end. You WILL get this good if you play enough, it just depends if you use it to hunt, or to make wicked videos.

Man, the Pink Rathian is my favorite monster, but for it to only have that shitty EX Rathian set in World kills my chub. If G Rank doesn't come and give us decent armour then I'm really gonna have some issues sticking around.

Also, what the fuck is a Longsword "Foresight Slash"? I've just been using my old bread and butter combos, didn't even notice that until recently.

>>14282765

Probably the counter. If you do it just as a monster is hitting you, you can do spirit combo finisher: easy gauge lvl up. But if you miss, you lose your gauge fill.

>>14282773

Oh, it's another of those things from Generations eh?

>>14282785

Probably, I didn't play LS in gen though.

Killing pink rathians are a challenge, especially if the damn bombing dragon interrupts. I would grind a little before going after it if I could, but I have to hurry to get the weekly quota.

>g rank comes out with pc version/before pc version so pcfags get to play full game since day1

yay or nay?

>>14282916

PC gets the same game but just caught up with the free DLC monsters in fall, then in spring World G comes out.

>>14282916

What >>14282931 said, the main team is supposedly working on the PC port rather than outsourcing it, and even when they're not working on ports to unfamiliar hardware they tend to take at least a year to do G versions. If G comes out with the PC release assuming PC release doesn't get delayed, of course it's going to be a fucking small G Rank.

>>14281837

>No one is forcing you to use quest markers in Oblivion and Skyrim

Actually, you're partly wrong on this count. With the addition of quest markers to games with exploration, the developers completely did away with any kind of design choices that would lead the player around organically. We're talking about little things like trees placed just so to form a small path, or torches in the distance to tell you something's there. So while no one really has a gun to your head, telling you to turn on quest markers, you're a little fucked if you don't, because gone are the little clues you used to be able to use to deduce where you were going.

>>14282993

Yeah, in Skyrim you'll look at a book a get a quest to find someone's hidden stash. But the book doesn't say where it's hidden, the quest log doesn't say by a tree next to the river. The only way you'll find that stash is to follow the quest marker.

Well ive killed every monster now

What a shallow attempt at getting a western audience.

Less content and an awful unskippable story

Well at least the corpse dragon was ok but outside its breath it doesn't fucking do anything

All the fast monsters like the red doggo are just crap compared to sergios

Maybe next time they will improve hunting horns

>>14282754

I wonder if we'll get any MAD for mhworld. Got curious and searched, only one result as of now.

>>14283199

>I didn't even buy this game myself, but I feel buyer's remorse

I know this feeling. I used to work at FUCKING GAMESTOP and Bethesda did this thing for retail wage slaves who sold vidya where if you answered little online quizzes showing you could regurgitate their propaganda for their products they'd give you free downloads for some of their games. It's how I played not only Skyrim, but Rage and I think Brink as well - didn't spend a dime on any of 'em, and I still regret wasting the time and bandwidth on them.

>>14283204

Good to know on the Wii emulation, will give it a go at some point. Thanks Anon.

>>14283297

>One "MAD"

>It's not even Japanese

Is MonsterHunter.fr official, or fans?

>>14282960

I would hope they'd use G Rank to bring back G Rank monsters like Hypnocatrice and Ukanlos. But I bet their G Rank is just gonna bring in the rare species variants. Which just brings back bad memories for me. I do not look forward to fighting Gold Rathian/Silver Rathalos at the same time again.

>>14283321

I'd say official ?, video was put up on November 6 2017 and their account only have video about world. Turns out there is 2 other mad video, but they're as shit as the one I posted earlier.

>2:40, hunter hook on flying wyvern leg

>Looks as if he's glitching alongside

>>14283520

Sisterly fourth is my favorite girl. So nice.

Mustard here, what's the consensus on World? Is it as good as the previous games or were the doomsayers right?

I'm probably gonna get it either way but I want to know if I was right in being optimistic.

>>14283520

>>14283481

Certain fish, mostly definitely in this world, are aphrodisiacs.

<You won't believe what a burst arowa does mixed with cheese, lover~

>>14283554

Never listen to /v/'s shit taste

>>14283554

Consensus seems to be somewhat in the middle - the doomsayers got a lot right, and it does make the game piss easy, but there's potential enough that the G Rank version might make it good. For details on what exactly is up with World, see: >>14279957

>>14283565

Just like with daburu kurosu, huh?

>>14283554

Anon, someone already asked the same exact question you did. >>14279892

Read the thread next time

>>14283554

Different. Lots of quality of life improvements, but the one completely legit complaint I'm seeing is that the ported monsters aren't able to completely handle improved player speed. Everything else appears, to this outsider's eyes, experiment/mutation on the formula in small degrees.

But that's just my opinion, probably a wrong one despite my fun.

Is it worth farming for a full set early on or is it best to just make whatever and wait till end game?

Is there really no blood in MHW?

>>14283756

I hope g-rank will fix this. As you said, they change little by little as their rarity increases, so maybe g-rank rarities will start looking drastically different.

>>14283785

They have to make every weapon of rarity 3 and above look unique, at least.

G-rank new weapons won't be enough. I don't like the idea of having the last rank of weapons being the only ones that all look unique.

>>14283785

>they change little by little as their rarity increases

I'll rephrase it:

They keep the same template and only change it once you hit rarity 4 or 5. Meaning it's only one change in looks, like changing the shape of a blade at the end of a GL, or changing the iron template's shield by warping it a bit.

In mh4u, weapons in a specific upgrade path would accumulate a few details every single upgrade. In mhw the weapons' upgrade path change only once in their looks.

>>14283831

I doubt they will change the models anymore, so g-rank is the only hope for this installment.

>>14283550

working as intended

>>14280612

>>14280651

It doesn't get better. You get more and more handholding shit and the usual things that make the high rank something of a challenge are neutered.

Remember not spawning at camp? lol just fast travel.

>>14282744

not gonna argue that. He was pretty piss easy.

>>14282129

bruh, the fucking environment actively goes after the monster.

There are probably a ton more. I deliberately played as sloppy as possible but still won under 20 minutes.

>>14284031

FU and p3rd emulate perfectly on PPSSPP.

But you can't escape the grind.

>>14284031

MHFU emulates well but is all grind. P3rd emulates well too.

>>14283358

Play FU if you wanna git gud through trial and adversity due to some rough elements like Plessy's hitboxes, play P3rd if you want an easier game to lube you up for FU and comfy farms.

>>14284031

>doesn't have the horrible grind I keep hearing about

Wrong series man.

>>14278626

Updated ID: 3eKPTLRm43Rc

>>14284096

The analog stick for attack was fucking horrible. I am kind of surprised that MH ever got sequel. Though freedom/portable 1 fixed that.

>>14284096

>>14284121

>analog stick weapon controls

I remember thinking this was very cool and that the PSP games using button combos sucked.. now I can't imagine the series going back. It just wouldn't work.

Never played it

so what level of playing together can monster hunter world give to me and my friend when they get it as well.

can we like both progress at the same time or do we take turns on progression

>>14284192

If you play at the same time, you progress at the same time.

>>14284192

You can join in on eachother's missions and play through the story together.. Only problem is capcom fucked up and made it so you can't join certain story missions because they come with a couple attached cutscenes that must be viewed before anyone is allowed to join you on that mission.

>>14284309

Now take screenshot of those panties.

>>14284309

I hate that you can't see other players running around Astera. It's such a waste of one of the better hub towns in the MH series.

>>14284309

>arm-wrestling

I kind of wish that the gathering hub included minigames or something. I don't really know what they'd be, but they would just be short 1-minute multplayer games that hunters could do in between quests when there's downtime. It'd almost be like a fun bit of PvP in a way and would add another nice communal aspect to the guild hall. Maybe a drinking game for the hunters' that's just a button-masher, but you'd have to be careful not to drink to fast or your hunter would get fucked up and fall over. Give the winner a small bonus like an emblem next to their name.

I played the one on the Wiiu and emulated monster hunter portable 3rd. I settled on the hunting horn because I like beating the shit out of dinosaurs with a bagpipe but I'm thinking of trying a lance, maybe gunlance. Any tips for lancer beginners? Is it more of a waiting game because I can block now?

>>14284399

>Any tips for lancer beginners?

Guard +/Evasion is most important skill

>is more of a waiting game

No.

>>14284399

Lance has the best stats for guarding and turtling, but your ideal method of dishing out damage is to set yourself up for really effective lance charges where you tear across the monster while going sanic fast.

>>14284452

>mfw I thought they'd patch it in the final game

I'm really surprised they didn't think of some visual method to hide the framerate issues for long distance flying enemies. I'm not sure what would work best though, fog would be shit.

>>14284474

Playing on a PS4Pro allows you to prioritize framerate, graphics, or resolution.

>>14284451

No because MHW is most likely going to transition into microtransaction with the next game or something along those lines what with capcom's stated plans of where they want to go with the series, and them charging for DLC at all in world.

>>14283756

>fog would be shit

My favorite moments so far are the ones where everything is obscured by inclimate weather. First time I got dropped short of camp in HR was the spire cave, emerged to a short sandstorm facing the backdrop. I'd love to see moonless night fights, torrential downpours, sandstorms, stuff that would disrupt scout flies and force you to rely on memory.

Dark Souls II, Ivory King dlc, the fucking reindeer tundra. Imagine tempered Kirin in that bullshit

>>14282567

>and don't consider something to be difficult unless the button combinations required to beat it actually give you a repetitive stress injury.

if you don't play MH world by converting a psp into a dualshock 4 to clawgrip at all times you are a complete casual who single handedly killed the series

>>14284975

opps meant to quote >>14283756

>>14284975

Been maining gunlance and there are different styles, but some of definitely just a base model with a bit of crap stuck to it. The thing that's pissing me off most is that some upgrades net not change at all. The blacksteel tree is the same as the steel tree, but darker. They use the same shield on entirely too many of the models and while it's not awful looking, it's fucking annoying seeing so much copy and paste design on me favorite weapon.

>>14285022

I don't know man I kind of like how the base weapon gets extra spikey bits until you fully upgrade it and it turns into an ultimate looking weapon. Makes the journey to that weapon meaningful. You see someone carrying a crazy looking weapon and you know what they went through to earn it.

>>14284975

>>14285022

Playing the "hunting horn", and I'm finding half of them stop being horns.

Guitar, drum, chime, bagpipe, thorax, I'm excited to see what else weird shit is at the end of the trees. Besides the first half of the bone tree the variety is great and has since gone well beyond minor cosmetics of the hilt.

>>14285047

It's nice when you finally take the turn 8 steps down the tree and get something fucking nuts, but being stuck with the same exact model the entire time until you get to that branch is frustrating.

>>14284975

From what I've seen a lot of sns are basically recolours of the same model.

Heavy bowgun, for example, look all different.

>>14285057

This.

It's even more frustrating when it changes once midways (when the HR kicks in) and that's it

>>14285051

>Guitar

In world? Because the closest I've seen is a lute or a harp. No guitars yet.

>>14282993

Yeah, I know. That's part of the point I was making. Removing quest markers was a side effect of a much bigger problem in the game's design, and that same problem was like a cancer on the series; it was why all of those little details were removed, and why Morrowind's near perfect fast travel system was butchered and replaced with Oblivion's. It's why the plots went from starting as a poor, hated immigrant to a hostile land, struggling to pay busfare, and going on a long series of quests to prove you are in fact the Nerevarine and the chosen one to save the province; to having you be proclaimed the Dragonborn 15 minutes after picking up the controller and suddenly having the entire nation worship the ground you walk on and constantly praise you for doing nothing. That cancer on the game's design slowly eroded the series, until we went from complex games like Morrowind, with in-depth storytelling and amazing plotlines, and so much attention to detail, and ended up with fucking Skyrim. And yet still, when you complain about this things to normalfags who love skyrim, what do they tell you? "Oh, no one's forcing you to use quest markers, you can turn them off! It's just like Morrowind!", or "No one's forcing you to use fast travel, you can just walk everywhere, just like Morrowind!". I don't want to see this happen to another series I love.

>>14285224

>The only one that is even remotely forced down your throat is the grymylkynes vine trap and that is only if you mount in the cat's vicinity. Every single other aid can be removed or avoided without hurting the experience much.

So you can turn off the monsters attacking each other, the guidebugs, all the environmental shit, the terrible armor system, and the slinger? Can you also set the difficulty to "multiplayer" level even when you're doing quests solo?

>>14285260

>and the slinger?

don't shit on the slinger, that's a streamlining effect i can fully accept from the old terrible throwing system for dung and flash bombs

>>14285264

The only one I'm outright shitting on is the armor system, I'm just pointing out that "you don't have to use any of the new shit and can play it exactly like a Monster Hunter game" is even more ludicrous an argument here than it was in Gen/XX

>>14285230

also meant for >>14284975

>>14285291

The sound effect and animation is different. Hits on weakpoints give obvious tells in your attack animation. It's practically the same as the bloodsplatter.

>>14285260

You don't ever have to use the guide bugs. You can avoid picking up tracks and find the monster simply by following them. Some monsters rarely ever roam the environment like Mudsioth and Lavasioth so the first time you hunt them you are given almost zero clues and have to do it yourself. You can turn off the tracking my clicking on the monster's icon on the wildlife map.

>>14285260

I can count on both hands the amount of times I've seen a turf war play. It almost never happens. You have to bring the monster to the next monster on the food chain's nesting area for them to even do it which isn't worth the effort 90% of the time. At most two monsters will meet and trade one or two blows then they will either gang up on you are one will fuck off.

I got a question about helms

in 4U should i be going for the gunner type or the blade master type of helm

Ive usually just been going for the one that has the better skillpoint load

>>14285426

>You don't ever have to use the guide bugs

But can you turn them off entirely? Even without player input they highlight shit constantly and as you pointed out they auto lock on to the monster and require you to manually shut it off every single time.

>>14285441

They still attack each other outside of the special animation though, and you don't have to "bring them together" they wander in on each other just fine.

>At most two monsters will meet and trade one or two blows then they will either gang up on you are one will fuck off.

The ganging up is what barely happens, and even then quickly shifts back to them bashing on each other until one of them fucks off. It also tends to result in one or both monsters dropping shinies.

>>14285451

Blademaster gives better defense, Gunner gives better elemental resistance. Generally, Skill points are what you want to consider more heavily, but if those are equal, I'd say go for Blademaster over Gunner since normal defense tends to be more important than element, since you can eat to remove an elemental weakness for any particular quest.

>>14285457

The odds of that happening consistently are almost zero. I have never seen monsters attack each other more than a couple of times before turning on you. The only monster that will consistently turf war every single time is Odogaron because he's a psychopath.

>>14285441

Just because it doesn’t happen to you often doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

>>14285468

It's not just the turf war special animation though, they will attack each other normally even outside of that.

>>14285475

>they will attack each other normally even outside of that.

Does that actually do damage? I haven't been able to tell. Turf wars have damage numbers pop up, but I haven't noticed any outside of that.

>>14285475

I got a feeling you never actually played the game and only based your opinion on second hand experience. Turf war never go longer than 10 second, they trade blow once and then the weaker monster run away. Even then, the chances of triggering turf war are very slim, the only consistent turf war is between Barroth and Jyoratodus because there only 1 place with mud in the entire map and their nest and next to each other. In my 50 hours of gameplay, I never triggered anjanath and rathalos turf war, unless you manually bait it to rathalos nest

>>14285542

Yea, I've had the bageljew break a few monster parts with his carpet bombing runs.

>>14285594

>>14285602

It definitely creates shinies and can break parts, I'm just not sure if it does actual damage numbers or not.

>>14285522

>rad looking armor, solid fight, solid design

definitely the best new face

>>14285594

>Because I haven't touched any other weapon type. Sue me

That was meant more for the switch axe poster.

But even so, what weapon type has more than just 1-3 unique designs? Horn? (assuming from pic)

Bring them back

>>14283601

Just stack attack up on parts for low rank.

>>14285574

I've got a feeling you can't read, since as I keep saying, it's not just the turf war special animation, they also attack each other outside of that using their normal attack animations.

>>14285853

>I mean where are all these Monster Hunter "Vets" actually coming from?

there are some aspects i can sympathize with, lower monster count is a huge bummer and the looming sword of capcom waiting to either nickel and dime the game sucks. Complaining about QoL changes is maddening and I think some people are forgetting how bloated some of the last titles were becoming, and that making a game on a brand new engine costs content.

Ideally that content will be brought in through downloads in the form of more monsters and area preferably for FREE.

>>14285898

also i forgot to mention BRING BACK SNOW AREAS, FUCK. As much as I'm genuinely enjoying this game my heart fucking sank when i saw hot drinks weren't in the craft list

There is speculation they are adding new mass to the game. They better add a comfy tundra map, or a tropical island map. There is a chain of iislands that would be perfect for it.

As for monsters I want

Peco

Zinogre

Lagombi

Zamtrios

Tetsu

Kecha

Najarala

Narga

White fatalis

Bullfango

Plesioth with the stupid hitbox back for keks

Gravios

Serigios

Nerscylla.

Bring back every monster. Fuck.

>>14285893

Looks like marilyn manson

>>14285898

>Complaining about QoL changes is maddening

Which ones though? Because I've heard a lot of people defending shit like the new armor system and such as "QoL"

>I think some people are forgetting how bloated some of the last titles were becoming

In what sense?

>and that making a game on a brand new engine costs content.

Then don't make a brand new engine. There was no need for it.

>>14285952

>>14285898

Pretty sure its made on Dragon's Dogma's engine, which is relatively new

>>14285522

>>14285638

Hunting it to this theme never fails to get me rock fucking solid.

>>14285952

>In what sense?

stuff like every weapon having special style and having to upgrade and unlock those, palico collecting, traveling to other zones just to meld, the frenzy status which most of the time just applied to fighting gore.

>Then don't make a brand new engine. There was no need for it.

okay it's not really "brand new" but i'm more referring to how the team has to make new assets and models instead of building off the old ones.

>no need for it

good luck pushing a console monster hunter with 3ds framework when trying to sell big numbers, would never fly. I'd bank we'll see 2-3 releases of new Worlds before we either get the freedom unite of world, or it completely tanks out

>>14285960

bad phrasing on my part, i was meaning to refer to creating new monster models and other assets

>>14285822

>they also attack each other outside of that using their normal attack animations.

Like I said, at most they trade 1 blow and then fuck off. They dont do a full on brawl until one of them dies

I want capcom to add dragons dogma monster into this. the drakes with their moves, the chimera with its moveset that cause poison, thunder and the griffin.

>>14286131

Tbh I'd just like to fight something about the size of a condemned Gorecyclops

How are the waifus in World, if there are any?

>>14286167

90% of the female NPC's that are not in the main story are great.

>>14286187

Are the ones in the main story potato or ham?

>>14286167

I'd smash the third fleet master even if she has weird feet and a jew nose

critical draw applies to hammer charges as well correct? assuming you unsheath into a charge. the diablos HR set has points in slugger and critical draw and might be the next one i make (currently using zorah cuz it looks cool). or should i wait to see what black diablos stuff looks like

>>14284313

Pervert! Don't take pictures of a young hunters pantsu!

>>14286201

Forgot about her. She's fairly decent as well.

>>14286200

There's the handler, first fleet grandma, third-fleet master, serious handler and the provisions manager. The handler has been talked but here's a quick summary: her face and the way it moves aren't great, she's curious to the point she's reckless with not much ability to back it up. Other than that she's fairly bland with the only trait of hers being that she likes to eat. Capcom pushed her which doesn't help things.

Grandma is a bit more self-explanatory. Besides her age she kinda looks like a dude.

Third-fleet master looks a bit strange but she has a personality that you might like.

Serious handler should've been your actual companion.

Provisions manager has the haircut character designers have been using if they want a brown woman in their game but an afro is to mainstream for them. She looks nice besides that. Not much to say about her really.

Most of the other NPCs have a good-looking body and face and are usually nice to you. Most of them would've been a better partner than the one we got.

>>14286083

They fight for a while, at least in my experience.

Well, waifus aside I'd like to give World a shot but I don't have a PS4. I'm waiting on KHIII. Also I know the PC port will have Denuvo. Think they'll have G-rank update by then?

Also I prefer to be an axeman. How do switch axe and charge blade play?

>>14286314

Sometimes they'll take a swing and fuck off and sometimes they'll sit and duke it out for a little while. I had a tempered rathian investigation that had a bazel and pink rathian on it, it would occasionally turn into a free for all of explosions and roars with monsters being knocked off their feet every few seconds.

ugh, it's so casual that monsters actually attack each other! every fight should take place on a flat grey plane with just the hunter and the monster.

>>14286378

>Also I prefer to be an axeman. How do switch axe and charge blade play?

You'll hate them both. Switch Axe has a sword and an axe; you primarily use the sword mode, with the axe mode while the sword recharges. Axe mode is still decent though, you'll just need to use both modes, and probably use sword mode more. Axe is slower hitting, has a longer range, and walks faster; sword is faster hitting, but walks at a snails pace, uses up an energy meter to attack, and dulls twice as fast. XX introduced an art that brought axe mode to par with sword mode; it's the most fun SA has ever been, and it's a shame it'll never be brought back.

Charge Blade, on the other hand, spends almost all its time in Sword and Shield mode. You'll probably only switch into axe mode mid-combo, do an attack or two with the axe, then switch back into SnS mode at the end, which is where the majority of your time is spent.

Lance user here, any new moves or noticeable changes for it?

>>14286217

>old explorer and the handler

She's the handler's grandmother, or so I understood from the JP VA, subtitles hint nothing at this

>>14286314

>They fight for a while

not really, they roar at each other, do some hit then fuck off

>>14286422

as an avid swaxe player, its sharpness runs out fast, but axe mode gives you mobility but its swings are slower. its overhead attack is powerful and can reach high tails and flying enemies and ca be chained to sword mode for massive damage. sword mode is faster but you can using for so long, razor sharp skill allows me to keep my sharpness from running out. >>14284975 thats me if you wanna get an idea

>>14286474

meant for you>>14286378

>>14286472

rewatch the Odogaron cutscene and check the noses

>>14286472

Is it really pretend if that is what I always wanted from an axe in Monster Hunter? They should just change Great Sword to great axe and call it a day. I never played more great sword than I have in world because there are so many neat options like that. It's literally all I ever wanted from the weapons in MonHun is a lot of looks from different weapons. My favorite weapon of all time is the Moran Longsword from 4u because it looks like a spear.

Sage for double posting.

>>14286582

>It's literally all I ever wanted from the weapons in MonHun is a lot of looks from different weapons.

Are there many weapons like this in World? In previous games I stuck to the Chain Longsword because it was dumb as fuck, but it was also really dope because it'd rev up everytime you swing. Same with the drill hammer; the booster on the end of it was amazing.

>>14286217

>liking gooks

lol

>>14286684

There's not that many weapons with a gimmicky appearance. Most of the ones that are present are from previous games like the chain dual blades or the Daora weapons. The weapons you mentioned are not present, neither are some really iconic hammers like the revolver hammer and the various monster-head hammers.

Some of the monsters you meet early on have absolutely boring weapon designs like Tzi-Tzi, Tobi and Jagras. Then there's the ones with actual design like Legiana and Anjanath. Paolumu falls in this weird category where it's weapons are just fur on the base bone or steel weapon model but it's made up entirely of it's fluffy looking fur and heart patterns which make it stand out a lot more.

They really need to improve on this when the G-rank thing comes out.

>>14279901

the level 3 zorah set bonus, status crit, explicitly states blast is a status now.

>>14286741

I see. That's a bit disappointing, but free dlc weapons have been added in past games so I guess there's some hope.

>>14280052

>fucking game is trash capcom is trying to turn into an esport

>time attacks are the only thing that matters

>yeah well tell capcom that my opinion of competitive monster hunter is the only endgame that matters is retarded

hillarious when you consider capcom has already had "best hunter in japan" events before and they are light hearted simple events and not the stadiums filled with virgins events lime other esports.

>>14286774

People who pretend this is new are not long time fans of monster hunter but obvious shitposters who do not belong here. Monster Hunter sowed runs have been a thing as long as there has been arena quests, and top speed runners in Japan are like mini celebrities. Implying I wouldn't watch the fuck out of competitive monster hunter.

>>14286741

The chainsaws are back? Who drops them?

>>14280326

pretty sure that was a change added in tri.

>>14281854

i dont need them right away but first i would like to see the insectoid bosses come back, lagi narga and brachy, gore and shaggy, the fated four (at least fucking gammoth please), zamitros and the crabs. in that order.

>>14286784

It's only the dual blades, sadly. The longsword one is not in right now. It's the last 2 upgrades in the "Ice element" tree. It's mostly Legiana drops.

its such a shame how the other areas arent as well designed as the ancient forest. you can tell that was their first thing they worked on and its fucking amazing. the other places are cool but they feel like previous monster hunter areas unlike the ancient forest with its many shortcuts and shit like using the flying monsters to give you a lift to the top.

>>14286839

Coral Highlands is nice. So is the rotten vale. The only map that genuinely sucks ass is Wildspire waste. There is absolutely nothing memorable about it. This game needs just one more map to make the variety not feel utterly banal.

>>14283601

make whatever until you can get the legiana set bonus with skills you want for the wepon you use, and then do the same for high rank and then start worrying about sets.

>>14286847

>There is absolutely nothing memorable about it.

I like the underground zone and the wooded area of it

>>14286007

>Wah they were stuck on the hardware that got 90% of the best games of the past decade and a half

The fuck is wrong with you?

>>14286009

>stuff like every weapon having special style and having to upgrade and unlock those

What? The only thing that sounds similar to that were the Hunting Skills in XX, which admittedly were cancer, but hardly part of the main series.

>palico collecting

This was shit, agreed. Should've just brought back Cha-Cha and Kayamba.

>traveling to other zones just to meld

What?

>the frenzy status which most of the time just applied to fighting gore.

That was a stupid gimmick, but hardly what I'd call bloat.

>okay it's not really "brand new" but i'm more referring to how the team has to make new assets and models instead of building off the old ones.

Right, and if they stuck with the old stuff instead of having to remake it in the new engine, you could have that plus new stuff. The new engine was entirely unnecessary.

>good luck pushing a console monster hunter

Then don't. Keep it on the handhelds.

>>14286786

Shit, I should go dig up my old guidebook for 2G and see what it says.

>>14288724

>sounds like shit on webm

I worked so hard for nothing.

Here's the hooktube instead.

https://hooktube.com/TRV48bV6T-Y?t=82

Can't embed because the link has a specific time coordinate.

>>14288750

That's cute, but make way for the real king.

That track does sound intense though, way better than most other stuff I've heard in World from looking up online. Teostra's theme for example lacks the raw power and emotion the original had, it doesn't feel like you're fighting the elements anymore when you hear it.

>>14288763

They really dropped the ball on the soundtrack. It's piss weak. Proof if a hero sounds melancholic which fits the theme of the fight its played in but we deserved a better version. What really gets me is there is no opening movie. I love the opening movies in these games. Especially 4us

I just got three wyvern gems off a single Diablos expedition. I'm pretty scared for my life at the moment.

>>14288724

It sounds fucking regal. Which fits, because all his gear is lion themed.

>>14289290

The question is: do you need/want these gems? if not the desire sensor simply haven't activated and you got normal drops.

That's why you need to rewire your brain to never want anything while playing monster hunter, that way you can get everything you don't want really easy.

Has anyone out there got an A rank on that pukie/kula challenge in the arena yet? I haven't broke 5mins yes and any videos i see online are done with 2 players.

>>14287853

>Then don't. Keep it on the handhelds.

fuck off with that attitude, being able to play it outside of the 3ds is fantastic. I can actually connect to friends without having to jump through nintendos garbage networking hoops and don't have to camera control with the claw or the nipple.

>>14284040

>>14284045

Okay so I've started on FU and is there really a fucking 10 hour long tutorial? Holy shit fams. Maybe I was expecting shadow of the colossus where you fight monsters but holy fuck.

>>14289480

I mean, I definitely can put them to use. The fucking second rank windproof charm needs 2. Even max level weapons only ever take one.

>>14289649

The tutorial isn't that long, and I'm pretty sure it's entirely optional.

>>14288343

>All of the best games were on handheld because that's where the market was. A large part of the saturation of AAA trash is because all of the good Dev's built their games for handheld.

Pretty much yeah.

>Fuck off Makoto

<He fell for the shill propaganda

Come on Anon, I expected better of you.

>>14289604

>fuck off with that attitude, being able to play it outside of the 3ds is fantastic. I can actually connect to friends without having to jump through nintendos garbage networking hoops and don't have to camera control with the claw or the nipple.

Put it on the Vita then, that'd be fine too. If going to consoles/PC results in crap like World, it defeats the purpose entirely.

>>14289649

Only if you said you're a beginner when you started a new file.
