If Gogmazios can somehow sneak into Dundorma and eat a bunch a gunpowder without anyone catching wind of what it is, then yeah, I think a 257.64 meter tall world turtle with a volcano on its shell can easily evade the Research Commission

Yeah... diablos is a bitch to fight
And that's not counting the actual bitch diablos "subspecies"
Its technically a female diablos in heat, and is a whole lot more angry

Diablos's animations have pretty short warnings, I'm pretty sure it's still using animations from older games.

Diablo is a fun fight for lance imo
Giant Dino flies out of the sand at you. Shield up. No.

Diablos is not a fun fight for Insect Glaive, though, I remember. For instance, its charging hitbox is much taller than it should be. And you have to farm it for the ice glaive… it’s etched into my memory.

Gunlance remains my go-to "either I win or time out" button, but LS and SA seem like they should shred

Swaxe is all about damaging it out, but has ZERO forms of evasion or defense
LS has a lot of mobility, but its damage isn't swaxe tiers of good and no defense 😔
besides like
Foresight Slash and Iai Spirit Slash

Anyway, is it viable to hunt an Alatreon with an elemental Hunting Horn?
cause I heard somewhere that the performance shockwaves and the impact wave don't deal elemental damage

I don't necessarily think shockwaves or impact waves would do elemental
Though you should google it

Yes, you can absolutely do it with horn. Horn spin should be your main attack. Shockwaves and impact waves do not do elemental.

But will they help knocking it down?
or does Alatreon have some bs immunity to getting hit in the face and suffering a concussion?
frank epoch
It does not
Spin doesn't do a ton of impact damage but you can supplement with super slam or golf swing in between each spin
And that'll rack up some stun
halcyon fractal
ahh I see
just avoid using performances and impact waves as your main source of DPS
gotcha
frank epoch
Performances do great stun, I wouldn't completely discount them
gilded mountain
yup, and keep in mind elemental horns with element up songs will really crank out the damage
halcyon fractal
gotcha, thank you!

The website is updated with some information too
Specifically:
- You can take two weapons and swap them while on the mount
- Every map is going to cycle between "nice and welcoming" and "scary and dangerous" in some way
- There's more than one map (no open world, good imo)
- Slinger is back
- Some kind of new camera option I don't quite understand
gentle knoll
- Slinger is back
- Some kind of new camera option I don't quite understand
is the last one Focuse Mode?
gentle knoll
yeah, I figure its like an auto lock-on or something?
i'm speculating it's a resource gated enhancement
gentle knoll
like, spend resource to get into focus mode, and instead of one dot to lock on, get dots corresponding each distinct zone to lock onto
outer heron
YOOOO
gentle knoll
or like, have hit zones highlight for you if you're a ranger
outer heron
i'm so fucking down with the slinger's return though
the clutch claw was imo a failed experiment, but the base game slinger fucks
rich valve
I like the slinger yeah, and it means (as shown on the site) more environmental traps and such which I enjoy
outer heron
and the fact that it's got a baby clutch claw specifically to gather resources and rocks is peak
rich valve
you can still shoot hanging rocks onto people's heads
outer heron
the smith is cute though
although the leg perspective on these characters is fucked
in their big portraits
looks like they've been scrunched down

hope we get to see something about that presumed baby pukei
god i love monhun so fucking much
enrichment of the goddamn soul
gentle knoll
i do wonder
if weapon switching requires something like interacting with the mount
or can be done more ad-hoc
the former is way more reasonable, for sure
rich valve
it seems to be tied to the mount
I am curious how it will work because armour skills are usually pretty specialised and wouldn't incentivise having two very different weapons
gentle knoll
PROBABLY allows for armor swap too
outer heron
I wonder if the armors are going to have like
different skills active per weapon
or some insane shit
gentle knoll
"fukkit all armors are cosmetic and you just sew different mon parts for skill"

Curious about the shield weapons, given how much the sword was blocking
And that it seemed to be holding off enemy attacks, rather than just having block frames
rich valve
the greatsword can block, it just ruins your sharpness and usually isnt a very good idea

probably the same as how you could do that in Rise
snow helm
<https://www.monsterhunter.com/wilds/en-uk/>
The website is updated with some in...
Yeah I'm glad to see that "open world" seems more to just mean that you can just stay in a zone and start new hunts without having to go back to the hub
Or even that the hub itself will sort of move around
outer heron
i'm imagining it'll just be like World, yeah
huge sprawling zones that you can go on Expeditions in
and not have to leave
snow helm
Also I really fuck with that goofy frog gorilla thing, even though I know his gear is going to be useful for like twenty minutes in all likelihood
The art direction of this feels very different from previous monster hunters, even world which was trying to be relatively more grounded overall
mystic cape
The wording on the Playstation Blog is "swap weapons" not "swap equipment" which probably means armor will stay the same, meaning either you'll need to plan out which weapons you can swap to or the skills normally unique to blademaster/gunner armors will need to be combined again to keep certain efficacies. Not impossible, but could affect builds in interesting ways.
rich valve
yeah unless there is some corresponding change to armour skills it seems like you'd most strongly want to just... keep two different variants of the same weapon
but I will assume there probably are changes to armour skills that we don't know about :p
rich valve
If it's hinted at again but still not revealed on Friday it'll probably be the mascot for this game

I really enjoyed the GU iteration of horn, double notes are a really cool idea and I wish they just refined that a bit for Rise maybe. I know the rework was supposed to bring in new users since HH is consistently in the running for dead last as far as weapon usage goes, but the rework didn't help. Short term increase in new horn users but sharply dropped off to pre-rework levels pretty quickly
New users didn't stick with it and old users felt alienated by the weapon changing so completely. I do hope that we at least get Worldborne horn back, it was at least very fluid
stuck needle
World horn was definitely more interesting. I enjoyed Rise's horn, but ultimately did most of the game with bow

mellow harness
probably the same as how you could do that in Rise
how did they handle it in rise?
stuck needle
if you brought your dog on a hunt, you could mount it with pretty minimal delay, then use items while it ran around
where you got to bring two pets with you in a solo hunt, one in duos (and trios?), none in a four player hunt
outer heron
god I'm so fucking excited for Wilds
mellow harness
if you brought your dog on a hunt, you could mount it with pretty minimal delay,...
did they give monsters greater speed or range to keep up with that?
outer heron
not for the most part
stuck needle
tbh it didn't come up very often when I played. If you needed to get away from the monster it usually made more sense to wirebug away.
outer heron
most monsters in rise really can't catch up to you
wirebugs, dogs, and occasional movement abilities
gilded mountain
i didn't know there were that many ace palico fans out there /j
ngl ace palico is god tier but we all know if there's a guildmarm reveal it'll be in the big hype trailer at a major event
frigid mango
The whole crew of the capital c caravan is a delight
mystic cape
Guildmarm has never been topped
outer heron
hm
a thought occurs
if we're getting like
these sand skiffs, mounts in a current-gen hardware game, and a bigass desert
...jhen moran return?
mystic cape
That's one hope
outer heron
Lagiacrus (and general leviathan-in-water physics in the current engine) is my big hope
I really fucking want a current-gen abyssal lagi fight
mystic cape
Based on the one sand lizard that moves like a Leviathan in the sand, plus with the time they would have saved using World as a base, I'd be surprised if they didn't bring in more unique monsters
Leviathans and Bugs
outer heron
if I can get lagiacrus and namielle in the same game I'll pog my fuckin nog
mystic cape
Wouldn't hold my hopes for Namielle, since Elders don't often make return appearances
outer heron
not often, but it's not just limited to gen 1 privilege
although I constantly wish we'd get more interesting elders in the gen 1 slots
no, I don't want kirin and teostra in every game
mystic cape
Kirin I don't mind so much since it's the introduction to how weird Elders can be
Kinda like how every gen has the first big monsters to introduce you to how different they can behave from the small guys
outer heron
sure but they can do that with a new one
exceedingly glad that World returned Alatreon
even if i'm not a fan of the monster's fight, i'm always happy to see old faces
but like, between alatreon in world and valstrax in rise, we have gotten Elders from gens 3+ in later entries
oh, and gore/shagaru magala in rise as well
mystic cape
I am still disappointed we didn't see the Shagaru's in Iceborn.
outer heron
so i'm not gonna rule out jhen moran, ceadeus, gogmazios, nakarkos, namielle, vaal hazak, etc.
magalas in iceborne would've been cool, but at least they're in sunbreak
i do hope World was popular enough to give its final bosses a recurring presence at some point, though
i.e. the fatalis treatment
like, it's the most sold capcom game ever
but i'm not sure anything's enough to kick the ever-present weight of tradition in some places
and god do i fucking adore shara ishvalda
and its equipment
huge fan of the designs of every gen 4 and nearly every gen 5 Elder
malzeno doesn't really wow me and zorah, while compelling in theory, was very lackluster and just kinda too similar to dire miralis
and dalamadur's fight is...resoundingly okay
but its design is great, and i fucking adore nakarkos, gogmazios, gore magala, namielle, velkhana, shara, gaismagorm, nergi, kulve
the list goes on
mystic cape
I'd be surprised if Shara appeared, if only because it was tied in to the story so much, what with the earthquakes and all
rich valve
You say that but they did bring back the magalas
mystic cape
True
snow helm
I think the bigger problem with Shara is that it's goddamn gigantic, such that I don't know how it would work outside of a special arena
mystic cape
Also that
snow helm
But then they also brought back Alatreon which you only fight in its own arena
brave hazel

The Fatalis fight in World FUCKED
Especially that last bit when Proof of a Hero kicks in

But I wouldn't expect it outside of a special addition later on like Alatreon or Fatalis unfortunately
Because Shara's theme is fucking incredible

I can't imagine meat so full of hormones is gonna taste good
Anyway, I vote pukei pukei
Sure it produces toxins, but its diet primarily consists of nuts, which I'd imagine would help make it taste better
Prolly be like fugu
rich valve
most of the athletic predators probably aren't going to taste that great
but maybe the hunter is onto something by eating aptonoth steaks every day several times a day
plesioth might plausibly be good, or gobul
I could see Paolumu being tasty although there's less meat on it than you might hope
Bulldrome is an obvious candidate

Those new leviathans really remind me of several species of polychaete worms, especially their mouths. Definitely my favorite of the new monsters we currently know about (what can I say, I like worms).

I actually really like the lightning dragon just from seeing its horns act as a conduit
Though it does look a little zinogre-ish from what we've seen
zenith sedge
Yeah, it looks pretty cool!

TBF these sand wyrms having that movement does lend evidence that we will see more Leviathans at least
Hopefully also some big ol' bugs

It’s the alt-stance for hammer that’s about chaining charges together rather than one long charge. It makes it easier to stay mobile and get consistent pressure on the monster i find!!
But you don’t get the Full Charge Swing, just a Follow Up from your Uppercut
mystic cape
Honestly what I'm hoping for is some kind of talk about some of the weapon changes we saw. Maybe not a full deep dive but an overview, if only to get confirmation or denial on some of my stupid speculation.
rich valve
there'll be a floor demo at an event in August apparently

so some questions about gameplay will probably be answered by media people
mystic cape

maybe instead of looking for a fight, just like. accept others differences in taste, yeah?
rich valve
as much as I like the new creatures my enjoyment isn't really predicated on everyone else liking them
frankly, they're already in the game so if I like them then I've already "won"
spring lily
I'm not necessarily looking for a fight per se
Twitter just kinda dumped it on my lap

pastel ridge
yeah exactly
posting something cause it makes you mad doesn’t really, do anything useful
not for here at least
pastel ridge
It doesn’t help the vibe, yeah
spring lily
Fair enough
Regardless I disagree with his opinion. I think the monsters look great, as they seem to be properly adapted to their environment and uniquely fill an ecological niche. Balahara reminds me of a polychaete or a bobbit worm so much, and the scallop-like eyes it has adds to how unique it is, as well as to add to the fact it doesn't have proper eyes cuz it's subterranean.
I shouldn't have come out swinging here but the trailer just dropped and I was so excited to see a leviathan, I just kinda got really annoyed by someone calling a really unique leviathan "too sci-fi"
Like ughghhhh I dont want another fish but for sand please just let me have a weird wormy guy
rich valve
I need to be clear: you don't need to come out swinging
gaijinhunter might be a big personality but he's also ultimately just some guy
his opinion doesn't ultimately matter
the monster is already in the game for you to enjoy
he actually can't prevent you from having the worm guy, it's in there

It was shitty, that's my bad
We don’t need you to explain, we need you to correct. The “yes i get it” was a good answer and could’ve been the end, but you kept doing a pattern we recognize as Last Word-ing, which is a behavior we want people to avoid. Thank you for your apology

I have to hope and believe that Bazel is territorial and doesn't like having a lot of friends

Everytime a new one shows up the theme restarts and they keep trying to invading...
No, the theme doesn't restart, it just adds an overlapping song for each Seregios in the fight

I hope it becomes an invader again like in base world
spring lily
Hm
I guess I have to pick a weapon to carry along with hammer
That's gonna be interesting
pastel ridge
and is basically hammer
zenith sedge
I managed to capture a bazel right after fighting the pukei that introduces you to high rank while still using low rank equipment, god that was stressful (was a new save)
I'll probably use lance and heavy bowgun
spring lily
I really wonder how mounted combat is gonna work too
pastel ridge
probably not all that differnt from palamutes
mystic cape
Based on what little we see, probably a limited move set
One or two hits, no real comboes
fast scarab
I noticed that in the two gameplay trailers, the movement of the Seikret was different depending on if you were aiming with the bowgun
mystic cape
IINM the HBG was using burst fire while grounded bu single shots while mounted? Though I could be misremembering
zenith sedge
Honestly my main hope is that there's still a pause functionality. I love world, but sometimes I need to watch Smokey eat or give him attention and I can't do that when I'm in the middle of a hunt if I can't pause
Yeah Bazel is pretty great
fast scarab
I hope Glaive retains that torpedo switch skill from Sunbreak, Kinsect Slash...
It felt much more fun that Advancing Slash
fast scarab
Honestly my main hope is that there's still a pause functionality. I love world,...
Ooo yeah the pause function was pretty nice
Do y'all think the Wilds hubs are gonna be 4 players or 16 players? Or somewhere between?
Personally I hope for 16, or at least more than 4, because the hubs felt so much more alive with that...

Gotta lock in
spring lily
I assume you'll probably be able to disperse them with traps or scatternuts
The packs of large monsters
Or they'll just be lower level monsters that a stronger hunter can effectively deal with
Like a pack of great jagras wouldnt be too much sweat
rich valve
the first trailer showed them using the slinger to split monsters up with the environment, although it also just showed you fighting three monsters at once so who knows
spring lily
The guy you are with in the second trailer said to go for the rocks so maybe some monsters won't go to certain areas and you can use some like real hunting tacticstm to drive your prey away from its comrades
snow helm
What new World or Rise monsters are people hoping make a comeback/expecting to?
I've never used any Namielle equipment but I'm still hoping they return just because the design is so good
Also I think my weapon set up is probably going to default to hammer and longsword, for smashing horns and cutting tails respectively
sudden depot
Id that a sand lagiacrus
snow helm
Honestly I figure regular legiacrus is going to make an appearance, the sand worm guy that got revealed seems to have exactly the right skeleton for him
outer heron
God I think Balahara might end up replacing Gigginox as my favorite monster, or ...
based gigginox enjoyer
halcyon fractal
What new World or Rise monsters are people hoping make a comeback/expecting to?
IF Lagiacrus is coming back, as Balahara has a pretty convincing skeleton, then Namielle must come back IF there's water combat
if there isn't... hmm...
Legiana?
snow helm
Legi or Odogo are both probably pretty good bets for returning, honestly, if this is also set in the new world
They would also fit well with the new art direction
halcyon fractal
🤔 Odogaron seems... odd. Since I can't really see it existing outside of the Rotten Vale
same with Radobaan
Ebony Odogaron, however...
outer heron
i think radobaan is an easier stick than base odogaron
because all it needs is a location with a lot of skeletons, and a few monhun games have had Old Battlefields or Big Swamps
brave hazel
Dunno, odogaron could definitely exist beyond the Vale, but I doubt there's a ton of places a radobaan could find bones
Or at least bones suitable for its size
snow helm
I could see them doing a variation of the rotten vale, like some kind of Wyvern boneyard or something that's drier and more deserty
brave hazel
Unless it like, actively hunts down other monsters and makes carrion nests to let the meat rot off so they can snag the bones
...that is metal as FUCK, I wanna see that now
snow helm
I also want to see Nakarkos come back with a better fight because that would look incredible with the new graphics
And honestly I'm still shocked they made an entire environment out of bones and never had it return
But I guess it needs its own particular arena
snow helm
Like a dusty fossil valley maybe instead of a rotting carrion one
Equal parts the elephant graveyard from the lion king and the actual Egyptian valley of the kings
desert light
bazel is my favourite monster
He's so great and so damn funny
snow helm
Honestly I hope they start bringing back Bazel more than Jho
If anything, make Bazel even more menacing. Make him even bigger
outer heron
bazel with a dragonator for a tail
desert light
I like both Bazel and Jho
so i'm fine with w/e
though ithink giving Jho a break in RIse was vey sensible
Really, Great JAggi needs to come back (he does not)
but i still love the reason he got retired for a while was because he was being punched too much
Just absoloutey bullied
desert light
I'd like Great Maccao to come back
snow helm
I suspect they're going to keep doing new Great monsters for a while, though Maccao is definitely my top pick for a return. It's design is just so slick, it would also fit in relatively well with the new art direction too
Something I noticed rewatching the trailer is that the new lightning Wyvern actually gets struck by a bolt before redirecting it, rather than generating it itself
mystic cape
Yeah, seemed unlikely to be an elder since it has the flying wyvern body type
desert light
I'm almost betting on the new lighting Wyvern being the mascot
outer heron
I'm assuming it's the flagship, yeah
hyped as fuck about balahara though
the leviathan skeleton in the current-gen engine is huge
mystic cape
If it's not that raises the bar for what the flagship is considerably
outer heron
idk, most of the games have had some really impressive non-flagships
i don't think it's a raised bar, so much as like
odd use of foreshadowing if it's not
considering it's been teased but isn't registered on the website
outer heron
idk, most of the games have had some really impressive non-flagships
i'm thinking of jho and barioth in tri, anjanath and legiana in world, chameleos in dos, etc.
mystic cape
TBF Jho and Chameleos are in a unique category by nature
outer heron
sure
there are just a lot of those "unique category" monsters
i assume this is going to be the flagship, but i wouldn't be flabbergasted if it wasn't
but i would be surprised, because of the narrative weight it's got in the teaser
mystic cape
They could also do a multiple flagship thing like they did for Generation with the Fated Four

It also got struck by a bolt after
rich valve
electricity is one of those ones where they like explaining how the monster can do it so "is a lightnng rod" is fun
stuck needle
"attracts lightning bolts" is very on theme for what we've seen of the first biome. I bet you there'll be some lore about the ancient lightning rods being inspired by the lightning wyvern
mystic cape
There's also still questions about the giant ring, which seemed to be conducting some electricity of its own
Plus we've already seen the lightening rod armadillos
I'm willing to bet sandstorms generating lightening is going to be the why of it at least
rapid lion
What new World or Rise monsters are people hoping make a comeback/expecting to?
all I'm going to say regarding this, in my inexpert opinion, is that I love Legiana and Odogaron... even if they're somewhat strongly tied to their home locations.
rich valve
I have a friend whose favourite monster is (I think) Odogaron so I would like to see it back for their sake
frank epoch
as long as i get jho back i'll be a happy camper
outer heron
I think jho's been in every game since its debut
probably won't change now
oh wait
it might not've been in rise
but it's definitely in 4, world, and genU
full sage
i'm mostly hoping for new monsters made to fit the style they've got going on gameplay wise, but i wouldn't mind if they fixed gammoth and made it an actual fight
jho was decidedly not in risebreak.
weak gulch
Jho with Rise pace would be horrifying

I think we should get a new carapaceon based on decorator crabs
halcyon fractal
👀
speaking of crabs
how would hermitaurs and ceantaurs taste?
could be the giant ones, or the "less" giant ones
spring lily
Probably relatively good
pastel ridge
probably gr8,,,,
spring lily
I'd definitely use butter though
Or vinegar if that's your thing
I know some people like seafood with vinegar
Personally, me? A hermitaur dipped in garlic butter sound fantastic
halcyon fractal
I'd think the larger carapaceons would taste good, albeit tough. Also, according to some account items you can get, their brains are considered a delicacy
probably because you can only get so much gray matter from a single crab
also boiled hermitaur with butter 👀
spring lily
I had a dream once that Laios and I were hunting hermitaurs
mystic cape
He would so do that
spring lily
Cold medicine, MH4U, and Dungeon Meshi manga is a helluva combo

GenU is probably the best one to play, coming from Rise or World
4U is fun but it is marvelously clunky
fast scarab
I wanna play 4U but I haven't had any luck emulating it
spring lily
I do have a 3ds so I just kinda...been doing that
naive elk
i've installed it on my 2dsXL along with some other games
3U and XX with an english patch namely
also GU
gentle knoll
highly rare opinion but if you feed me truth serum i might answer GU as the entry i had most fun in
spring lily
That's a valid opinion
naive elk
4 has Dalamadur which instantly makes it the best one because Dalamadur is my favourite monster
gentle knoll
granted, it just might have to do with GU being the last time i played monhun face to face
gentle knoll
and seems like to me monhun w/o face to face is just always going to miss some feel
naive elk
i'm a bit wary of older titles due to QoL stuff but i am definitely going to be giving a few of them a go
gentle knoll
oh yeah pre-world qol stuff that world fixed can chafe quite badly if you don't have the tolerance for it
mystic cape
What do you mean by "face to face"?
gentle knoll
as in my party member is in the same physical space as me
gentle knoll
monhun's initial popularity in east asia pre-world was largely propped up by the portable games yeah
naive elk
pretty much the entire reason it got properly popular was due to portable games
World kind of spelled the end of that unfortunately, though Rise did bring it back to a degree on the Switch
gentle knoll
tbf the transition is healthier for the franchise due to the decreased focus on portable gaming on non-phone devices
naive elk
oh yeah no absolutely
never said it was a bad thing
just
a thing
you know?
wish GU had gotten a english release so i could play it and not just XX with a slapdash english patch
suppose i could just emulate it
gentle knoll
oh right
naive elk
which is where i'd like it to be
gentle knoll
i gotcha
naive elk
it only released as XX in japan
i did managed to make a slapdash english patch version but it keeps asking me to update everytime i launch and i find it annoying
frank epoch
GU my beloved
full sage
the epic highs of GU are probably my favorite in the entire franchise...
gentle knoll
ah, that actually makes sense

Can you tell me if any of the weapons got a big overhaul, kind of similar to how the Hunting Horn got an overhaul in Rise?
YT: Yeah, so if you had to really answer this briefly, it's really the two Bowgun types. So the Light Bowgun and Heavy Bowgun have received some of the most kind of broad action changes, as well as the Hunting Horn. The Hunting Horn is going back more to a World-basis of the action, but on top of that, it's also introduced a lot of other changes. So we hope you're looking forward to that.
https://www.ign.com/articles/the-monster-hunter-wilds-devs-answer-all-of-our-questions-sgf-2024
Can you play through the story in co-op together seamlessly?
YT: In two player?
Or four. Multiplayer.
YT: What we can say is that, so there are going to be story elements in the game when you're playing that you have to witness in solo mode before you can actually play together. So you won't be able to play perfectly together in sync throughout the story with other players. But we've made it a lot more convenient, and we've introduced new features in the game, so that in the background, you're always connected. And so as soon as you're able to go into a quest together, it matches you up quickly and you can seamlessly go back into multiplayer gameplay. So we've made it a lot more convenient.
full sage
And of course, you can also have it "meow, meow, meow" as in previous titles. So you can give it cat-speak in the game if you really choose.
this is the best news i've heard about wilds all week
stuck needle
I really hope that co-op question means they figured out a seamless option compared to World. It reads like they're definitely aware of the complaints, but I wish they went into more specifics.
rich valve
seems like as people guessed this game is like "expedition-focused"
the hub is literally in one of the maps and you can walk out of it with no loading screen, attacking a monster will automatically start a relevant quest, and defeating one will not return you to camp automatically
also apparently you stand on top of monsters while carving them now instead of clipping inside them :p

I wonder what exactly sneak attack entails
im assuming its some kind of synced sneak attack animation like you get in elden ring or whatever
stuck needle
I wouldn't be shocked if the sneak attack is just a bit damage hit that deals a lot of stagger, but it'll probably tie into the weapon's gimmick a little. Like, I'd be surprised if there wasn't an elemental discharge window or something for the charge blade

spring lily
I always tend to take a palico bc I like taking in the scenery
stuck needle
I wonder if the reason they've only shown load outs with bowguns is because it's the iconic ranged weapon to contrast with great sword as the iconic melee weapon, or if it's tied to the bowgun changes

One could argue the "iconic" ranged weapon is bow
Could be they wanted to go with the big heavy equivalent for theming

the trailer has got me thinking about everything thats going on in the game, and im wondering exactly how these weapon clashes will be triggered.
that and how exactly the expedition/guiding lands way of hunting monsters is going to work.
-
are we gonna temporarily hunt monster species to near extinction when farming for a specific drop, or will the game hit a minimum and like, spawn some new ones 2 areas over as soon as you land the kill
-
how are rare variant/rare species going to work, is there always going to be one out in the world for you to find, or are you going to have to go on a quest and wait for the populations to randomize again.
snow helm
I wager that any time you get a quest for a specific monster it will spawn in but if you don't have a specific quest for it it will be random
I both hope and dread an over hunting mechanic, purely because of how frustrating MH drop rates can get as it is
Trying to farm a Rathalos mantle when there's a finite number of Rathalos per instance sounds like a nightmare
vocal haven
I could see they integrating the lure thing from guiding lands into normal expeditions maybe
The lures basically being the specific missions mayhaps
winged crest
I'll bet it's monsters spawning in as you take missions 100%
The rare drop chances exist to keep playing the game, Capcom wouldn't be so stupid as to punish that very behaviour
