Elemental Ammo seems to fire almost.. flak rounds, now? It's not the Piercing Elemental, but it's not a shotgun, but it does a wide burst of damage on target

Some of the standard shots are a bit hollow but it's all very chunky and.. idk.. physical? Sounding, mechanical but low tech.. and the booms boom
LBG has a sort of Advanced Rapid Fire Mode and it's very satisfying

Do y'all reckon the Black Flame in Wilds might have any connection to the Fatalis that utilized black flame?
Sapphire Fatalis, that's the one

I love how fucking goofy some of the weapons are in Wilds
The windmill on the hammer and the headbanging move on HH comes to mind primarily

I forgot the private suite room looks infinitely less comfy to live in than the private quarters one
(Also why is this the only layered armor I had access to in low rank)

less cozy but also holy shit that outdoor area

You really can't compete with that garden
I wish the Iceborne house had a garden half as grand as that one

Some kind of update just got pushed for the beta
final hedge
do we know how big the preload download is
final hedge
nah that's less than I was expecting
I'll probably grab it today
gonna be pretty rusty at world style horn but I'm excited to be able to play it
mystic cape
Heads up you may want to start it up as soon as it's downloaded, it needs to optimize files it's taking a while (currently waiting on mine)
naive elk
20gbs is nothing
at least i don't feel like it is
wowie the shader optimization is going to take forever
outer heron
oh good idea, i should def boot to optimize

I was going to play the beta today but my father is sleeping (his bed is in the office where the computer is)
desert light
My one annoyance so far
the subtitles are for the english dialouge
not hte japanese version
I know *just8 enough japanese to know things dont match
hollow comet
wdym?
like japanese voice english subtitles don't match?
based on what i hear i don't think I'll be able to run wilds, might play a lil rise as a treat instead :3
desert light
like japanese voice english subtitles don't match?
Yeah, japanese voice is saying slightly different things to the english subtitles
hollow comet
that seems pretty normal for translation? i'm sure it matches up to the english voice (so i guess it's the same problem with the english voices being translated a little bit off)
halcyon fractal
🤔 is the beta running badly for y'all?
a friendo of mine tried running it on her computer, and even with low textures and low graphics, it still stuttered
along with a bunch of glitches like NPCs losing their legs
also, another friend of mine tried running it on their computer, and uh
yeah.
(spoiled for unsettling imagery of a very low graphics face)
brave hazel
Good god
hollow comet
is this fabius or an artist’s depiction of the monster
halcyon fractal
yeap
I hope to god it won't end up as a rushed game
if it takes until december next year, I can wait
I still have to finish fighting Fatalis
and Alatreon 😔
brave hazel
Go get frostfang kit for Ally
halcyon fractal

I recommend charge blade, you can get shittons of elemental procs with savage axe

My usual solution to this was going for guns that could do the slide reload
So I'd almost never need to manual reload
eternal river
🤔 is the beta running badly for y'all?
Very mixed results for me
I can play at ultra 1440p, it's playable but not stable, and it doesn't like the camp area at all
Medium seems to have some hitches but is pretty stable
No frame gen tho since I'm on a 3070
halcyon fractal
ahh I see
🤔 something tells me they gotta really work on optimizing the game
my friend was playing at like... low fidelity and she wasn't getting 60fps at 780p I think
and the textures looked really gritty
and the uh, fact that at camp, stuff was despawning and NPCs didn't have legs
naive elk
just hopped into the wilds demo and
i'm actually quite impressed with all of the settings it's making me check through before i start to play
hell it even has settings for proper button prompts for different controller
which while not impossibly rare, doesn't usually account for different controllers from the same brand
naive elk
need to change some settings cause the texture quality rn in the game for me is horrendous
the texture quality in this cutscene is about as good as the texture quality was in 4U on my 2dsxl
ok yeah in-game now and it still looks awful
changing around settings doesn't seem to help
put it to lowest and i am sitting at like 40-45 fps
the texture quality seemed pretty unchanged from changing the graphic settings though the models are somewhat impacted
so it doesn't seem like i'll be able to play the game if it launches in anything similar to a state as the demo
final hedge
fortunately it's a beta not a demo
I think we can assume the game will be functional on launch, esp with all the gameplay we've seen of it looking and running fine
hollow comet
gonna give it a quick try, i doubt it'll run
naive elk
i mean it runs
but it looks like a 3ds game
i could play it but like
it wouldn't be worth it like that
the texture quality refused to get any better no matter what options i picked also
idk why the weapon won't render properly
final hedge
my friend's game looks like this lol
naive elk
this is on medium settings
Alma's jacket also does not want to render
gonna wait to try out the gameplay until i can play with my friends
mystic cape
Oh thank god, Wilds can be paused
hollow comet
yep lol no shot, 2 crashes before seeing anything other than the RE engine logo
as expected
it'll probably run ok ish on my pc especially after optimization after launch, so i'm not too bummed
mystic cape
Hey anyone know if there's a way to "wait until" so I can get season of storms and fight Ray Dau?
desert light
I'm not sure, but you can talk to alma and join an sos for Ray Dau
Who's a great fight, love the focus strike weakpoint he gets after rail gunning
mystic cape
I wish I could but none show up
Only monsters I've encountered before
Okay it showed up TIME TO STAB IT UP
final hedge
played a bit of wilds, it was fine for me aside from only getting about 50fps and some of the textures being stuck at low res for a bit
my hunter and little man
desert light
Oh, that's very cool.
So they kept Demon Flight from Rise
but it's now your focus attack and only works if you hit a monster wound
but has a much better massive damage follow uip
hollow comet
mystic cape
my hunter and little man
Yeah the textures seem to be a recurring issue for people, probably related to optimization
rich valve
i will surely not regret setting my palico's voice to the highest possible pitch
eternal river
and the textures looked really gritty
i think this is a LoD distance issue
its why you see the low poly character models up close too
rich valve
also yeah my game has looked really grainy as well, although I have yet to mess with the graphical settings at all
eternal river
so im guessing thats why textures look muddy often cause they just load the wrong lod level for a lot of them
halcyon fractal
🤔
frosty lintel
yeah, im getting the same issue. no mater how i set my graphics my textures are always super low res
is there any way to affect the LOD?
rich valve
if that's the problem there's likely nothing you can do and the problem is something they will need to fix in the game
naive elk
yeah i tried fucking with all of the settings but nothing actually changed so i just set it to the lowest settings for better fps
rich valve
my friend's game looks like this lol
problems like this especially are definitely just related to it loading the wrong models and textures and isn't something you can affect yourself
naive elk
which mind you also did not do much
frosty lintel
yeah, the render distance setting doesnt affect anything
eternal river
ye, considering the game loads low poly models in cutscenes, its very much something they have to fix on their end
naive elk
i will say
i was mighty impressed with how seamless the cutscene to gameplay transitions were
had a very mild delay feeling when it switched between them but it was very immersive
mystic cape
HUH
So if you start up the Beta after making your character the title screen opens with a brief scene of you, Alma, and your Palico in the tent before walking out to eh cliff with your Seikret for the actual title
final hedge
the camera continuity stuff is really cool
I found it all a bit overwhelming after only playing rise for a year or two, when the game comes out I think I'll just have to walk around a bit and take it in lol
did the first hunt solo then the second with my friends, it was fun but did feel unfinished and I'd need to find some actual documentation on how the new horn stuff works
frosty lintel
also whenever i move a bit when on foot and then stop, im getting a weird swaying effect, and its actually making me a bit motion sick
idk how to stop that
final hedge
there are camera settings that would probably fix that
brave hazel
Oh, has anyone seen what our room/house looks like in Wilds?
desert light
It's just a tent currently.
I think any "set base" is going to be much deeper in teh game
and quite possibly even come wiht the expansion
bleak halo
Hmm… I think I’m realizing I don’t like charge blade in world as much as I did in GU 😔
SAED is just a lot harder to hit optimally than AED was
Technically AED in GU is called SAED and SAED is called UAED but you know what I mean
stuck needle
what do you like about it?
outer heron
it's got massive dps, is really fluid, and has directed aimbot
probably a lot to like from those three alone
bleak halo
Wait what was that last bit
hearty kayak
outer heron
Wait what was that last bit
one of its moves drives a stake into the monster that aimbots further arrows
afaik bow is looking to be like the highest-dps weapon too
just based off of raws and motion values
not sure if that was taking into account any of the datamined skill info

I was going to try out sword and shield as a new weapon but... gunlance...
stuck needle

yeah. you build up a gauge you can spend on either coatings or trick shots like the tracer arrow topple mentioned
brisk dirge
I do like that a lot of weapons seem to be moving more towards managing some kind of gauge
stuck needle
huh. had a voice line where the VA said Chatacabra and the subtitles called it Giant Toad

yeah that was not helping me
rapid lion
I know this is not new content but I'm thinking about Shamos. Why isn't there a Great Shamos? Are they that divergent from Girros and Jagras? Or are they actually totally unrelated and it's just convergent evolution?
rich valve
i dont think there's an in-universe reason there isn't one and we don't even know that there isn't, only that we haven't encountered one
rapid lion
Hm. Are there any canonical examples of canonical evolution where two similar-seeming monsters are actually almost entirely unrelated to each other?
frosty lintel
If they’re smart at all over at capcom they would start making origami sets to sell lmao
rich valve
unfortunately no amount of origami would be able to create the floating single vertex that replaced Doshaguma's head the first time I launched the game
outer heron
Hm. Are there any canonical examples of canonical evolution where two similar-s...
yes, but i can't think of them - let me try and find the monster phylogenetic tree
here's one of the translations
depending on how similar you consider some of the wyverns to be, a few could count
genprey and baggi are pretty distant from each other
or, for a more drastic difference, you can look at like...banbaro vs beasts
like kelbi, gammoth, or goss harag, which it shares some visual similarities with
rapid lion
I need to look up what Larinoth is I think if i's so far off doing its own weird thing
Ok, yeah, I get it.
(note that "one weird animal which is only tangentially related to everything else" is in fact totally realistic and happens all the time)

question:
is there a place/way to check your character creation sliders after creation?
stuck needle
you can cash in a character edit voucher, but I don't know if it locks you in when you start the process or when you save
at one point I found an external editor so that I could paste an old save's design over a new character
stuck needle
oh! for the demo. no, they're in the UI but you can just edit your character whenever from the main menu
outer heron
ah, after the tutorial mission?
i did not end up liking the hair lighting or voice for the character i picked, but i wanted to keep everything else
stuck needle
yeah, that's easy. save + go to the menu and you can tweak whatever

good news: new hunting horn is pretty cool from from first impressions and i think they're coming to terms with it being a low-usage weapon by really amping up the number of mechanics on it
bad news: computer no likey. barely 30 fps on the lowest settings lmao

You can also change character appearnace in the tent

Unless Bombardier had its text changed to specify affect shells or such then we can likely expect Artillery to show up on other Gunblades later

Hi, Seliana defense committee? couple questions. Why did you put the ammo for the dragonrazer so far from the chamber? Yeah, down a ramp in the arena with the elder dragon.

someone should unionize the felynes, tbh

something i think people need to remember is that this is a beta
it is not the final product

Oh of course
Listen it's already the best monster hunter game because the ability to spin a True Charged Slash is the absolute greatest ability ever gifted By God to Man
beating the ability to speak, to create tools, and to feel love.

I genuinly really despise behemoth for bringing the "hide or get oneshot" attacks into monster hunter
even if they are cool cinematic things
outer heron
that isn't what bugs me about behemoth
but rather that extremoth has a very specific method of gaining and interacting with the anti-oneshot mechanic
and also just did a trillion damage for high rank
wicked citrus
Yeah. Behemoth and Leshen as a crossover monster are interesting. Its just that Extremoth has that specific DPS check and specific way to kill it while Ancient Leshen has that ungodly health bar.
naive elk
Leshen sucks absolute dogshit as a fight also
extremely unenjoyable in basically every aspect
wicked citrus
Pretty much yeah. While I like the fact we can help the Pukei. I despise the pointy finger of death and Jagras mobbing my ass.
outer heron
for different reasons
naive elk
yeah
wicked citrus
But I do enjoy that the "Lore" of that Crossover made our Hunter be essentially an "Elder Dragon" level threat that they just drive away every other monster from the Ancient Forest.
naive elk
i feel like we're sleeping on the Kulu Ya-Ku crossover fight /j
neat locust

I wonder what the lead time is on crossover monsters. Wilds feels like we have to get some kind of giant siege monster, would it being a new monster be a barrier to it showing up in a crossover?
desert light
So it looks like every monster is actually ognna have arepetable wound area that opens up duringf certian attacks
Rey Dau has it's horns overheat post a railgun, THE WURM BOI who's name i cant rember how to spell's mouth is a focus attack every time he does his vomits, Grumpy Bearlion's gut becomes a focus attack during some attacks
rich valve
Gunlance's focus strike attack is maybe going to be the thing that makes me pick it up again instead of a weapon I haven't done a playthrough with before, it's so satisfying
graceful snow
My opinions on the Wilds Beta are both positive and negative
naive elk
actual gameplay wise it seems pretty fucking great
rich valve
I have few concerns about the game it's mostly about whether I'll need new hardware to run it
naive elk
but the way it runs is making me consider not buying it
i definitely need a new cpu to run it
rich valve
I had the LoD problem for a while but then it went away, might be resolved if I upgrade my SSD (and regular hard drive) which I was planning on doing anyway
naive elk
and i do not have the funds at the moment to get a new cpu
rich valve
it didnt have the best ever FPS but it was very playable
graceful snow
Yea any issues I have are purely with performance.
But it is known we're already on a really old build and there's still like 4 months till release.
naive elk
so in all likelihood i won't get it at launch unless they do another beta before launch with vastly improved performance
graceful snow
I hope we get a Demo at launch
naive elk
that would be excellent
rich valve
its probably time I did some more in-depth hardware upgrades but it's a pain in the ass
naive elk
same
naive elk
i'm running an i5-9600KF CPU, 16gigs or ram and an RTX 2060 so i do kinda need to just wholesale upgrade at some point
the cpu is the major thing at the moment

I’m in the same boat. Like the game won’t even give me higher res textures
naive elk
mhm
frosty lintel
Which is making me think it’s an LOD bug? I haven’t ever heard of a game locking you to lower textures on purpose no matter what you set it to
rich valve
yeah it's hard to judge the visuals of hte game because it's also very clearly bugged in some way
frosty lintel
Like, I’m fine with 30 fps and like medium or so settings
Yeah there’s some weird stuff going on
I hope the demo is the release version of the game or close to it, and thus hopefully more optimized
I’m really bummed since the insect glaive rework is awesome
Also worlds ran great on my computer, it sucks that they’re pushing it so much harder and relying on up scaling/frame gen as a crutch

paraphrasing a friend's reaction to the demo: "an old game like World shouldn't look better than a new game on the same PC"

Yeah…
naive elk
at this point my want from Wilds is another beta or a demo closer to release
so i can actually get a good read on if the game will work for me or not
cause this beta is definitely not helping
frosty lintel
I’m pretty sure there’s gonna be an actual demo
That will be the gold or close to gold version of the game

Obviously there’s always a bit of graphics progressing and older hardware becoming out of date but this is too much
They’re using up scaling and frame gen as a crutch and it’s not even that well implemented
Cutting optimization to save time/money and using an engine meant for hallways
naive elk
this beta very clearly has issues which is why i want another opportunity with the game in more complete state to actually get a good idea of how it will play on release
graceful snow
I think one of my favorite small things that got added in Wilds is that you gain sharpness all through out the sharpening process

that is quite excellent

Although birddoghorse does also alleivate that a bit.

And here I was thinking: 'Well my second weapon is just going to be another GS, for when the first GS gets dull!'
stuck needle
How are people feeling about weapon swapping in the demo? I didn't really notice a reason to swap in the doshaguma fight
hearty kayak
think about it on weapons
what is for exampple sns really bad with
reach
also because of lizard horse being basicly a missle when you hti the call button you honestly swap mid combat pretty easily
or if say you don't have the best burst damage swap to something with better burst damage
rich valve
I haven't yet encountered a scenario where I wanted to swap weapons but I also have never wanted to do that in any other game either
even though the seikret is pretty responsive it's not like I'm going to want to waste time hopping on and off for topples
you could use it to do one wakeup attack I guess
seems like a lot of effort for little gain though
hearty kayak
oh it wasnt even topples id just randomly do it and then do a burst of damage using its various ammo then swap back
void narwhal
i've never been one for on-site ammo crafting so it'll be nice for bowguns that have a bit of volatile- yeah
hearty kayak
trigger a bunch of the wounds i couldn't reach with sns
rich valve
having a ranged weapon to trigger wounds on a large monster's back isn't a bad idea yeah
void narwhal
or if I have a switchaxe and some flying invaderbeast arrives, i'd love to swap out without leaving to a tent
hearty kayak
another potentially way you could do it is if you had enough slots on a weapon you could have weapons with diffrent ablties on them
or say lavisloth shows up again
you can use a fire weapon then swap to the other
void narwhal
Both bowguns being Thunder weapons into Rey Dau is a fun prank, Monster Hunter
stuck needle
you can use a fire weapon then swap to the other
Oh, yeah. We're definitely going to see a return of that or the other elemental weakness swaps aren't we
hearty kayak
or one thing to think about is the various monster's rage modes
like some times you might want to swich to something more defensive
stuck needle
I like the wakeup option. If you don't need a second weapon, bring a great sword alarm clock. (Plus it gives you a tail cutter if you don't main a slicing weapon)

I am of course going to bring two hunting horns
afaik you can only benefit from the buffs of your currently equipped horn

honestly geting on the seikret and swaping then getting off is pretty quick
since the thing is basicly a missle that targets you

honestly I wouldn't have minded if it was purely for out of combat between fights
I don't think it's really something that should be super fast and accessible like a switch skill swap or smth

Then again maybe I'll just have to find something LS is bad at to swap around with

Seemed fine when I tried with LS
final hedge
I'm a world horn main so I'm happy just dooting
frank epoch
I assume the buffs only persist if you’re switching to another horn?
You can't do two horns in the beta so they're persisting across different weapons
Something kinda nice I've seen is that horn buffs now seem to persist through death, at least on the horn user, so that's quite nice
frank epoch
I assume the buffs only persist if you’re switching to another horn?
Swaxe Attack stat with no buffs: 350
HH w/ Self Improvement: 503
Swaxe w/ SI: 350
HH w/ SI and Attack Up (S): 529
Swaxe w/ SI and AU(S): 364```
So yeah non-SI buffs persist through weapon swaps, even other weaponswat

You can't have two of the same weapon in the beta

You can't have two of the same weapon in the beta

They’re letting you just buff yourself with hunting horn? Doesn’t that just mean even if you only main one weapon you’re always gonna bring an attack up l horn to buff yourself at the start of a fight?

In addition to the buff not being you terribly long lasting I think more people will default to just two weapons that they like, a blunt and a cutting weapon, or damage and utility in general
Or melee plus ranged
Not necessarily horn plus their actual main weapon

i'm torn between gunlance, charge blade, and sns
currently i'm rolling GL + CB
i might tear myself away from them to go GL + swaxe though, just to have like

Ranged combat feels closer in general, really, even Pierce ammo lost crit range quick

frank epoch
holy shit just figured out that you can change your draw attack on hunting horn
it doesn't always have to be the one attack, you can cancel it to get any note as your draw attack
can't do flourish or super slam but you can do right hook (red note) and backslam (orange note)
stuck needle
How do you cancel it?
stuck needle
Oh, sorry, xbox
frank epoch
nah you're fine
now that i think about it the controller doesn't really matter
so basically your draw attack is pretty much always Y/Triangle, the white note
(you can also draw into a performance but that's neither here nor there)
immediately after pressing the button for your draw attack and before it actually executes, press a different attack button, like B or Y+B
stuck needle
Nice and simple
frank epoch
Y > B will do the side swing, and Y > Y+B will do the backslam
also i did the offset melody counter against a rey dau flying wing slice attack and knocked it out of the sky
so fucking cool
full sage
they added kara cancelling to hunting horn...

I feel clumsy still with greatsword, but that's as much practice

I love how dual baldes got the perfect dodge mechanic, and makesyou hit harder and do attack evades
so you're encoruaged to be a psyocpathic little blender
rich cobalt
Biggest glow ups:
T1: Bow (literally the best the bow has ever felt)
T2: Greatsword (focus aiming a huge quality of life. Having access to offsets and perfect guards is going to be a high skill ceiling)
Gunlance (Same focus making it less clunky, perfect guard, guard points seem really makes it even more defensive and seems more forgiving)
T3/"okay"
SNS basically unchanged, new ripping blade a good move, even more mobile. Perfect guard makes them more defensive
Dual blade: Wound exploit makes beyblade dual blade real. Demon dance being broken up helps with offensive choices.
LS: Better offense
Switchaxe: Offset is neat. Feels a bit deeper?
Only big loser IMHO is Lance which remains... boring pokey stick

...I have just been reminded of the fact that, due to my red/green colorblindness, I cannot always immediately tell apart Rathian and Rathalos, and always forget which is which. I mean, I can tell that they are different colors, but mostly just if they're next to each other or I can compare them. Do other people also think they look super similar, or do their specific shades of red and green look obviously super distinct at an instant glance to non-colorblind people?
The big thing is like... the chin spike, but I do still need to remember which is which, you know?
teal halo
seeing how red and green are opposites on the color wheel it's a guarantee for them to be distinct at a glance no matter the shade. i think. frankly i don't know color theory
brave hazel
Red/green colorblindness means you can't see the distinction though
Anyway. You can pretty reliably tell them apart by their head ornaments.
Rathian has a big chin spike, rathalos has big cheekbone spikes
And look at wing patterns
Rathian has a spotted pattern, rathalos has a fire one
rapid lion
Yeah that's why I was asking; since I am colorblind they look like they're a very similar color, and while I can tell them apart still, it's not immediately obvious from color alone. The other clues help, and I need to just remember which is which, and I didn't know if they were distinct at a glance for everyone or if they were still similar if they were both "muddy" enough or in bad lighting or whatnot.
brave hazel
The color's vivid enough that for most non-colorblind folks you can instantly tell who's who
rapid lion
😔 I think part of it for me is also just remembering which is which even if I can tell them apart, and I can't blame colorblindness on that.
brave hazel
Tbh it's not like

Rathian's mildly more poisonous

looks like the attack up song was nerfed pretty hard from previous iterations for hunting horn, and self improvement was buffed a lot to compensate
pretty exciting stuff, means AUXL would be much less important and it would increase horn variety while also making solo dps much better

Considering bow charges Hammer may be a good one since then stamina drain skills can overlap if you want to charge shots for openings, plus a Hammer can break parts to make a monster more vulnerable to rapid fire.
Anyone have any ideas what to combo with LS I'm drawing blanks.

could do heavy bow gun just to spend all the bow gun resources real quick then swap back
i do think ls suffers from having a resource that decays over tim ethough

evade window does increase the iframes on the counter attack

mystic cape
Focus could also be good for the new crescent slash thing where you charge up to instant round slash
rich cobalt
Something to keep in mind about Bow is that it's trickshot resource can get a bit thirsty to maintain its damage uptime, so the swaps are sort of iffy
At least if you are going all out tracer shots in addition to keeping power phials loaded
mystic cape
TBF you can instant charge the bar by a perfect dodge, so you just need to git gud /jk

Cons of fighting Tempered Kushala Daora: Horrible fight, wind everywhere, won't let you play the fucking game, hits you for half of your HP in one hit
Pros of fighting Tempered Kushala Daora: Kewl gear

i think the devs knew it was bad
thats why its the only monster in rise that basicly got thrown away adn redone

I asked earlier, but missed the answer: has anyone seen the netflix animated series from a few years ago, and is it any good if so?
red gazelle
Yo guys, what weapons will you use in wilds?
frank epoch
I will only be using one weapon
halcyon fractal
switching to another greatsword is faster than sharpening your current one
that being said
halcyon fractal
🤔 Having two of the same weapon for different elements/statuses sound very cool.
rapid lion
dual blade insect glaive might be a good combo actually; glaive to get in close, dual blade to stay there.
halcyon fractal
heck, having two HH for different melodies is also very cool
red gazelle
I’m most definitely gonna use switch axe, I used cb in mhw and rise and I like switching weapons
I wonder what speed runners will use
balmy swan
switch axe + lbg for me
rapid lion
but there's a 0% chance I'm getting Wilds any time soon, and those are the only two I've really used before. I might try something else... maybe gunlance would be fun?
red gazelle

Iirc gun lance got a lot of buffs
rapid lion
I still don't even have Iceborne... sometimes I regret it partially because the base game got claggers added and that borks stuff with dual blades, annoyingly

That is what I will be doing

Gonna mod all my horns to play Judas Priest
hearty kayak
porbally charge blade or swich axe maybe i know it has a counter now
i like sns but both rise and wilds didn't really give it much
i feel like a good way they could change sns is give it some bonuses to items in some way
it already can use items while weapon is out why not give it some boosts
hollow comet
i picked up sns in rise so i could be akuma, then realized i like seeing my own character more 😭
balmy swan
If only SnS had some sort of item it could use to buff itself
Maybe a kind of substance applied to the blade or something
hollow comet
🤔

i just had thought maybe donig damage to a monster buidls up a gauge that lets you non healing items for free

Perhaps we could fight a hyper silver rathalos and a hyper gold rathian at the same time to obtain it?
frank epoch
They don't know about A Tragedy in Silver and Gold
hollow comet
i do not...
i'm a baby hunter
rolled this last night 
i just need to find some wex (violet mizu for legs sighhhh) and wirebug whisperer jewels and i can rock this
frank epoch
i do not...
In Monster Hunter Generations/Ultimate, Sword and Shield could apply a unique Oil item to their weapon that gave them special properties like increased affinity, KO buildup, etc. One of the Hunter Arts (sorta like a wirebug ability in Rise but it only charges when you damage the monster, and not at all over time) was called Chaos Oil, and let you apply every Oil at once, which was otherwise impossible. Unlocking that Hunter Art was gated behind a quest called A Tragedy in Silver and Gold where you had to fight a hyper silver rathalos and a hyper gold rathian at the same time in the same quest
The metal raths are just harder versions if the regular raths, and Hyper meant that the monster had a specific body part that, if you hit it, would give you more Hunter Art gauge, but if it hit you, it did WAY more damage than normal
Like verging on a one shot for normal moves with endgame armor. Two shot bare minimum
brave hazel
Jesus
frank epoch
And old-school metal rath AI was such that they never wanted to fucking land
The quest was brutal but the reward was worth it
hollow comet
interesting!
the price of being oiled up is steep 😔
speaking of, i forgot to try destroyer oil
i assume it’s similar to the HH buff where you want it up at all times
aww but that means i have to pick between windmill and shoryu
red gazelle
I can’t wait to use switch axe
Ever since I’ve gotten in contact with my first mh game it was always either cb or saxe
I used cb in mhw and mhr
Big burst damage really is my thing huh
hollow comet
or weapon morphing
red gazelle
That as well
I mean cb is a chainsaw
A sword and shield
A lightsaber
A big bonk stick
And very fun
Idk about switch axe but it looks super dope especially the sword mode
hollow comet
it's cool yea
i would like to play some mh today, we'll see
i do have to sleep early ish and in the next couple of weeks i have tests, so i probably won't play much again

the new locale in wilds is full of oil

I like it as well, it pretty

This is my entire argument, yes
tiny wind
maybe i'll try polaying DB
vocal haven
rich valve
i guess if im maining gunlance I can bring and swap between normal or long/wide lances 🤔
I was previously just interesting in doing full burst but now that charged shelling recharges wyvernfire extremely quickly & wyvernfire comes out significantly faster following a perfect guard it starts to get a lot more interesting
...although so is the new version of full burst
hearty kayak
yeah that is an intresting idea for some weapons
ones that have varients within the class

i do think the hitstop in rise felt kinda heavy at times that explains it ab it

honestly I felt completely groovy playing with GL
