Monster Hunter

[balmy swan]

Congalala being a legitimate threat took me off guard, though

[hollow comet]

being smelly is so scary when you don't have a purewasp cat

and can't get more deodorants at camp

[tardy grotto]

I should play 4U

What of the Pre-World titles are "worth it"?

[hollow comet]

GU is quite awesome, it's about 5 USD on switch rn

which is like

crazy

!!!

play GU !!

and I've heard many good things about 4U so I've wanted to give it a shot

[tardy grotto]

So about 355 USD

[hollow comet]

yeah 😔

[tardy grotto]

Capcom, bring GU to PC, and I might actually buy a few cosmetics

[final hedge]

I think you can basically emulate all of them

GU has a shit ton of content tho

[balmy swan]

honestly stench was not as much of a problem as the giant, sweeping poison cloud burps

between that and its charging attacks, you really just don't wanna hang out in front of it generally

[hollow comet]

yeah..

[tardy grotto]

Teach me the forbidden knowledge

[hollow comet]

the portable aspect is so evil for me, GU is my most played MH despite starting it the most recently

[final hedge]

idk dude figure it out

[tardy grotto]

Wyvernsnipe loaded

[final hedge]

I just said I think its possible

[tardy grotto]

True

My apologies

[elder tusk]

It is explicitly possible and very easy to track down on YouTube (when the site is functioning)

[hollow comet]

i’ve got to find the 4U mod for true raw

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=daHdCkN5b-4

[elder tusk]

Honestly though I really wish they'd just rerelease all the old games so new fans can actually play them and realize what has been lost

[hollow comet]

yeah there's a very different feel and experience

[elder tusk]

Also there are projects to maintain the multiplayer servers for every game

[hollow comet]

👀

[elder tusk]

Tri was the largest accomplishment

and everyone who helped make it happen deserves daily praise because Loc Lac is the best online hub

[hollow comet]

i might be the greatest to ever do it

forgot i had the slow mo mod installed hehe

omg

i've never used frenzied bloodlust before

[final hedge]

colours probably not perfect bc of blue light filter. but I am making SO many layered sets with access to the event stuff

this is just one I did before heading off for the night

also. he is Immersed in the Sludge

[hollow comet]

[hollow comet]

AT arkveld time..

time to die

[hollow comet]

[hollow comet]

doing a semblance of lance things

[final hedge]

gore <3

I love him hes such a lil goober

[wanton scroll]

welp, beat toasty in one shot
I actually do like Rise's Toasty
the way he clacks his jaw to ingite the blast
current grind now is HR50 and the Asche Drache for Dragon Elemental weapons

[final hedge]

todays fit

[hollow comet]

keep cooking

[final hedge]

having access to the festival and all the event stuff is sooo good

I like trying to portray lil characters through my sets

[hollow comet]

shell yeah

planning to use the gravios sns for a gladiator kinda vibe

[final hedge]

[hollow comet]

is this anything

😭

[final hedge]

a very fancy gladiator

[hollow comet]

WAIT i didn't realize those pants had thigh holes

FINE I'll go make the male ones

all i wanted was knee breathing room

[final hedge]

you can do tights

but I guess the vibe is shorts

[hollow comet]

gypceros has shorts with ankle socks but that's a bit too refined for the look...

[final hedge]

with that waist it makes it look quite preppy lol

[hollow comet]

yeah 😭

[final hedge]

the long gloves are also kinda fancy coded

[hollow comet]

😭

my fashion sense needs a lot of work

[final hedge]

you'll get there

[hollow comet]

did decently on AT arkveld with my 4th gen ass lance lmao

tough but maybe doable

[final hedge]

🙏

wilds horn is kind of very strong I think

once you get wounds if your positioning is good you can kind of chain CC for ages

and it does a lot of burst damage

I wonder why nobody plays horn ever, like its strong and not very complicated

[elder tusk]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XddLYgaPSMU

[final hedge]

apparently it has like a trillion white sharpness and is kinda cracked

I was expecting something people just use for the layered weapon tbh

but I guess its like wyvern ignition where they make the swag sword the strongest

[graceful snow]

OH god yea what the fuck

[elder tusk]

yeah they often make competition weapons Really Strong

they want people to use them

[final hedge]

even valstrax would see that sharpness bar and be like wtf

[snow helm]

Competition weapons usually come in at the end of the games lifecycle (pre-expansion lifecycle in this case and with Ignition) so there's no need to tune it down at all

[final hedge]

yeah I think its cool to give us something kinda wild

[snow helm]

But I have noticed that usually they don't scale them super well into master rank, which is disappointing

[elder tusk]

yeah 😔

[final hedge]

at least the layering system is super generous in wilds so we can have our greatswords look cool in MR

I think with the dlc wilds is going to overtake rise as the monster hunter game with the most drip (armor and weapons both included)

[elder tusk]

part of the consideration with updating them for expansion scaling is that you have to make sure they're not The Best Possible Choice, but that they're still good enough to be relevant

so they need to be competitive with all the new ridiculous stuff that the expansion adds

[final hedge]

base game wilds is definitely ahead of base game rise. but sunbreak had a lot of great drip

[elder tusk]

wilds has a really solid base game roster honestly, and some excellent armors all around

[hollow comet]

omg lmao

ok.. made a dragon lance

time to give this mf another go

[elder tusk]

good luck

[graceful snow]

I do hope that Wilds continues to optimize performance int he long term

[final hedge]

it seems like the last few patches have improved performance a lot

[elder tusk]

yeah it still has progress to make even if it's in a pretty acceptable place right now

[final hedge]

I do also hope they keep working on it

world always ran like shit

[elder tusk]

I also hope they don't shy away from possibly reworking existing mechanics with the dlc, since the game was rushed out to meet a deadline and it feels like some things aren't as fleshed out as they could be

[final hedge]

good luck hunter

[elder tusk]

(please just give them all the time they could possibly want to make the expansion)

(please don't even announce a date just let them cook)

[final hedge]

put nergigante in there. I need my son

[elder tusk]

I'd kill to have a monster hunter game that wasn't developed on a deadline

[snow helm]

Yeah, I'd love to see them give Wounds/Focus mode a real do over

[elder tusk]

god yeah

[snow helm]

Which I suspect they will honestly

[graceful snow]

I still prefer wounds over the clutch claw

[final hedge]

considering iceborne's treatment of the slinger mechanic we can probably expect some changes

oh god yeah they're so much better than the claw

[elder tusk]

please don't ever bring clutch claw back

[snow helm]

They made big changes to the new combat mechanics in both Iceborne and Sunbreak, so it sort of follows they'll be taking a look at Wilds the same way

[elder tusk]

I'd be happy if focus mode became a mainstay, but I'd like it to have a stamina cost or something

[hollow comet]

i like wounds more than clutch claw but i'm not a huge fan of focus as is

[final hedge]

in general I am just happy to be hunting monsties and doing whatever. but the claw is not ideal

[hollow comet]

they're not removing it though

[elder tusk]

and wounds are so much better than tenderizing

[graceful snow]

I like focus because I can finally aim

[elder tusk]

I'm a certified Clutch Claw Hater, I think it completely fucked up the flow of hunting and the way they rebalanced hitzones around it makes me actively resent playing

[hollow comet]

yeah it's unpleasant

[final hedge]

focus is really very strong but I don't hate it

[elder tusk]

meanwhile focus mode is a much better adaptation of the formula toward accessibility, and while it borders on egregiously powerful for some weapons, declining its use doesn't make hunts take twice as long

[final hedge]

it would be nice if it got nerfed so only some moves are rotatable with focus but I don't think they'd ever do it

[snow helm]

I think focus is conceptually cool but it needs a little spit and polish, ironically to make it less streamlined

[hollow comet]

i feel like it enables us to be a lot more aggressive and the monsters are being made to match

[snow helm]

Yeah this is really my thought

[final hedge]

but also like. this is an ok problem to have I think

[hollow comet]

along with general apm increases across the weapons, it's not my favourite way to play, I kinda like measured swings and give and take instead of both sides being fully aggressive

[final hedge]

if you can SAED or TCS where you want to then they can make the monsters more active

its not worse its just different

[snow helm]

Agreed on this, at least with the post-launch monsters

I wish they could go back and buff some of the base game roster

[final hedge]

and unlike rise it hasn't lead to homogenisation of different weapon classes

[graceful snow]

I think my big complaint with Wilds is really the lack of a 'Home'

[final hedge]

I also like the wound system a lot I think it's great for letting you get some licks in and think about how you're using resources and controlling the fight

[hollow comet]

yeah wounds are fun

[final hedge]

my one actual want for the dlc is a lil house where I can have my creatures

because I have So Many Creatures

in world I had a little lizard that lived in my astera room and he was great

[snow helm]

The lack of a house to place your endemic life is a little shocking

[graceful snow]

Having played GU a bunch recently, it has really made me miss having a home/farm that all of the other MonHuns have had

[final hedge]

then in iceborne I had... I think penguins?

[hollow comet]

bherna is so chill 🥹

[final hedge]

feels like a deadline thing for sure

I would assume wasn't a high a priority feature compared to the hunts

[snow helm]

Yeah I guess it was probably a reasonable cut wrt to time spent on it vs added content

[hollow comet]

omg i forgot to switch off of my prolonger set

[final hedge]

u will now last forever

Prolonged Este

[hollow comet]

and have 0 survivability

[elder tusk]

my absolute favorite thing about Monster Hunter games is how good they feel to just dwell in as virtual spaces, especially with the really strong focus on community in offline villages

World and Wilds being what they are, that's kind of lost

[final hedge]

the wilds gathering hub is nice I think

its quite village pilled

[elder tusk]

the grand hub is really pretty and has a little bit of that, but it still feels... impersonal

[hollow comet]

when they dig me up I'll still have +20 attack and defense

[final hedge]

excited to see what they do for the dlc hub

[elder tusk]

I do really wonder if we'll get a G-Rank hub or if they'll just expand the one we have

[final hedge]

your great grandkids are gonna have the lil sword arrow icon above their heads

[graceful snow]

World's hub felt like a good inital step int he right direction (16 player hub and all that), but Wilds having 6 effective hubs kind of kills it

[final hedge]

new hub for sure right? we're gonna travel to the like jurassic park island or whatever

[elder tusk]

hopefully either way we get a better farm solution than "Nata has a menu"

[final hedge]

isla nublar. new monster: actual t-rex (has a turf war with anjanath)

[graceful snow]

But like, I understand WHY the Wilds Farm is just an easy menu

Wilds is VERY streamlined for a MonHun

[elder tusk]

I understand it but I wish they wouldn't do that. There's a difference between removing friction and removing texture.

[final hedge]

I would be chill with having a lil farm you can visit but its just cosmetic

it would be nice to have some more anchoring in a place

[final hedge]

like theres a palico there with a straw hat and he just gives you the nata menu or whatever

I like going around and talking to all the lil dudes yknow

[elder tusk]

tbh they should develop the communal aspect of the hub, since it's already a place that's bringing every culture in the forbidden lands together

[graceful snow]

Yea, the fact that the Grand Hub was an update to be added in was kind of telling honestly.

[final hedge]

I assume it was something they had partly finished before release and couldnt fit in the deadline

[elder tusk]

yeah the topology for the hub existed in the release version

you could see it if you looked at the arena map with dev tools

[graceful snow]

I feel like The Big Sin ultimately that Wilds made is how hard they persued graphical fidelity.

[final hedge]

if you spend enough time there is a significant degree to which you can make basically any graphics run well

its pretty much just a question of hours sunk

[elder tusk]

please for fuck's sake stop chasing graphical fidelity please I'm begging you

[final hedge]

I would say its less pursuing good graphics and more not having time to spend on making it run

the graphics are nothing groundbreaking its just standard $60 game stuff

we've seen already what kind of gains they can make with a couple basic optimisation passes

[elder tusk]

I genuinely think Rise should be their standard moving forward

[final hedge]

imo its not overambitious the implementation is just scuffed

rise only looks like that bc it's a switch game

and it only runs a little better than world on pc btw

[elder tusk]

nah it runs like three or four times better than World for me on PC

but I mean aesthetically more than performance

[final hedge]

I don't think people would buy it if the next main line monhun looked like rise

rise kinda looks like shit

[elder tusk]

it has some rough areas but I disagree that it doesn't look good (most of what holds it back is its weird chewing gum terrain topology, which is mainly just because every surface had to be navigable, which is something that could easily be cut in future releases)

[final hedge]

this looks like a WoW screenshot

[hollow comet]

i got scammed

[elder tusk]

holy contrast

[hollow comet]

i popped a tempered wound during a roar

robbed of my knockdown

[elder tusk]

😭

[final hedge]

thats fucked up

[hollow comet]

quest failed 😔

[final hedge]

guards. arrest this arkveld. clap him in ch- oh hes already got some

[graceful snow]

I do hope that Capcom learns from their performance issues in the future.

Especially with computer components not longer really being readily available as they had been anymore due to...reasons...

[elder tusk]

yeah I won't argue that the game's lighting is dogshit, and it's something that would need to be improved massively

also for some reason capcom as a company just can't seem to figure out how the hell to actually manage screen brightness or contrast in anything any of their teams develop (Wilds' brightness is actually broken in both SDR and HDR, and even the best results with vanilla settings are just the best you can get with shoddy tools)

[final hedge]

at least by the time the next main line monster hunter comes out in like 2030 the bubble will have popped and chips should be cheap again

[elder tusk]

oop sorry for the ping

thought I turned it off

[final hedge]

as long as nobody invades taiwan

[elder tusk]

please stay safe taiwan

[final hedge]

zorah magdaros walking up out of the ocean:

it makes sense actually. hes a volcano and computer chips are just gourmet rocks so it makes sense he would eat them. its like the champagne and caviar of rocks

[graceful snow]

(I'm still amazed in the size reduction Helldivers 2 did)

[final hedge]

that was extremely based of them

and it really does illustrate that a ton of optimisation is possible. consoles have been making stuff run on potato power for decades

[hollow comet]

me when i forget to crop

[hollow comet]

there we are

[final hedge]

lmao

truth nuke

unrelatedly I have to get a mizutsune gem now. because I unlocked the headgear where its just a wudwud sat on your shoulders

[elder tusk]

I love you Shoulder Wudwud

[graceful snow]

When the AI Bubble pops, I don't see PC parts (and related) dropping in price relatively quickly

[final hedge]

some stuff will I think, like storage and memory

cpus and gpus idk, maybe a little. depends on how the binning is set up

and various market factors obviously

[graceful snow]

So hopefully there's an Age of Game Optimization soon

[final hedge]

yeah the pendulums gonna swing

[elder tusk]

WOO

hooh

oh no I'm gonna need to actually make the set

[hollow comet]

if i swap the helmet in i'm gonna plummet to -14 dragon res 😭

I have gore and gog going atm which are not the most dragon resistant monsters

even with dragon res 3 slotted in i'm only at +9 atm

[elder tusk]

I still haven't actually made a dedicated set 😭

I'm running some jank FulGore right now just because I wanted to see how high I could get my affinity

[hollow comet]

FulGore is an amazing name

[elder tusk]

I love the tradition of portmanteau set names

nothing will ever top BuJaBuJaBu though

[hollow comet]

Jho Ceana 🧎

[elder tusk]

I FORGOT ABOUT JHO CEANA

[hollow comet]

i just looked this up 😭

that's so whimsical

[elder tusk]

it's so good

also part of the reason why I want Bulldrome and Great Jaggi back

[hollow comet]

LOL very valid

i saw a video of bulldrome being mounted, and it charged around and carted another player who took the mount as a chance to sharpen

[tardy grotto]

Aight

Starting Wilds

[elder tusk]

🫡

did you make your character yet

I do actually have a piece of advice to give for that (don't even touch voice pitch if you want to be able to take the story seriously)

[tardy grotto]

Not yet

First the 300 menus of graphics settings

[elder tusk]

eeyup

I can also give some good advice on the best places to stand around in order to test individual settings in-game

[tardy grotto]

Shoot

[elder tusk]

Though I still haven't found a single ideal place to test brightness

my go-to for performance testing is the Seikret path ledge right outside of the Windward Plains base camp that juts out and overlooks the big Sweeping Promotional Trailer Vista

it's most ideal to do it during the Plenty, but unfortunately the story locks every zone's weather until a certain point

another good spot is the first open area in the second locale, especially for testing foliage and water settings

I think the best place to test overall brightness is actually near the end of the game

but there are some areas in the Plains that will get almost as dark as the darkest places in the entire game, so they can be used to dial in your darkest colors

the game has a tendency to look brutally washed out if your brightness settings don't suit your monitor (though they're just badly implemented in general so arguably there's no real scenario where they even suit the game's own rendering) and the story locking locales to their least colorful weathers worsens that

as for settings, I haven't tested their impact with the new updates, but I'd recommend taking everything as high as possible and then dialing everything down individually until it's worse than you're willing to tolerate

also turn off auto-sheath and seikret auto-pathing

I'm gonna write up all my recommendations for how to change settings at some point because I feel like there are a few that are better for player experience than the defaults (like the way slinger aiming works)

[tardy grotto]

Ok

So Cblade isn't my gig yet, lol

[hollow comet]

huh, learning about the Lance counter stance release GP and Power Guard + followups

there's so many fancy things

I'm considering switching to FulGore with 4pc gore 2pc fulgur, that lets me upkeep MM more (although I might slightly overcap affinity when clearing frenzy, but that's fine)

arkveld does have pretty good dragon hzv on the chains at 25, so Mutual Hostility isn't the worst.. but the bad dragon res isn't fun

however, I'm seeing that Nadia's armour has Gore set bonus and 3 dragon res per piece, so I could give that a shot as a stand-in

[final hedge]

look at him sitting so nicely

WHWSers of chat

What is the key for the quick wheel on keyboard?

[final hedge]

you hold down ctrl and then its whatever button is in the middle of the wheel I think

you can also bind stuff to your number keys

I just use the numbers and the lil scroller in the bottom right

[near bane]

the keyboard specific for the quick wheel are the F keys, you will get them in a list and you can press the number keys, its a alternative way to use it

like f1 or f2 or f3 then a number once its open

Think we're dropping Rise LS

also we just realized that since we're eventually going to get Valstrax's Swaxe we didn't need to get the Dragon Tree swaxe 🙁

Now it's time to fight both Ibushi and Narwa

[calm hearth]

new Driptosaurus MH vid dropped
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZkcPXeTvpU

[hollow comet]

lance is great fun

i am fishing too much for retribution thrusts though

got wiped by jin because I swapped to LS and it roleplayed a train

but it moved around quite a bit for lance

i guess i can be a train too

[wanton scroll]

And with that Narwa is dead for real

She turned Ibushi into marketable plushies

[hollow comet]

I'm glad I decided to give lance a try, I'm having a lot of fun it now :) and there's a lot to learn like the charge counter GP and being able to do dash attack out of retribution thrust

[wanton scroll]

and then went super sayian

aww, arkveld's hunger isn't as strong as I thought

[final hedge]

3hp what a scam

[hollow comet]

it heals you this amount per 5 hits, with a 1s cooldown between gaining stacks

[final hedge]

if its per hit then actually thats just 3hp/s on bow

[hollow comet]

i don't know if you can get multiple stacks even on things like power shot

[final hedge]

or is it like you can only track one hit per second

unrelatedly

bird on head

[hollow comet]

some reddit post says 1 hit per second 😭

that might work decently well with GS since you can play it quite aggressively

i took arkveld 2pc in hopes of upkeeping my Peak Performance 4 but uhh

i dunno if that's happening

[brisk dirge]

That's still a pretty decent amount

[hollow comet]

at least the helmet and gloves give wex 5

[hollow comet]

yeah it's definitely helpful over time/on a comfy build :D

but not working exactly the way I hoped hehe

just have to hit more perfect guards I suppose 🙂‍↕️

hmm, I suppose the Garkveld set bonus exists (hp when popping wounds) but I think Arkveld Gamma only has the lifesteal bonus

could have been cool to make the AT set bonus a weaker fusion of the 2

[final hedge]

hoping for lifesteal in dlc

thats where we got it last two times

[hollow comet]

as is tradition

I miss you...

[final hedge]

thats crazy

whats that one from

[hollow comet]

it's a GU hunter art

[final hedge]

ah yeah that sounds about right lol

[hollow comet]

I didn't realize it's an aoe heal too

that's fun

ooh wait, 4pc gog does give a barrier on enrage

although I would need to roll arkveld or gog on a gogmartian for 4/2

[hollow comet]

my armor spheres are so few

[final hedge]

yeah same I have like 3 and a half left

the arena quest with rath and lagi is the fastest way to get them I think

that or the chatacabra one

both event quests

[tardy grotto]

You guys have Armour spheres?

[hollow comet]

🙂‍↕️ gotcha

hmm

[twin ibex]

What monster makes you think of a witch the most?

[hollow comet]

since the festivals are on, I wonder if it's worth wearing the 4pc armour for extra rewards...

Interesting answer.

nightshade paolumu has a similar kind of thing going on with the clouds, but it's puffball vibes first imo

custom stickers sure are something

[final hedge]

malzeno is kinda witchy too

rise has a lot of creatures casting spells

Fatalis seeing any sign of life in their territory:

[hollow comet]

a win is a win

[final hedge]

hahaha

unorthodox victory

[hollow comet]

yeah 😭 i had no carts left so i was preparing to get out via subquest if i needed to

i love just getting smacked about

time to get out of the bath and wild it

I should not have taken a weapon i'm ok with against hyper gore

spooky fella

[hollow comet]

AAAAAA

least inconvenient old gen endemic life:

😆

[final hedge]

he really said fuck you in particular

[elder tusk]

I love konchus I hope we get them back in the Wilds expansion

they're the perfect little motherfuckers

[final hedge]

those badger wolverine guys in iceborne were real lil bastards

[elder tusk]

obligatory

[hollow comet]

LMAO

amazing

[tardy grotto]

I got the funniest kill against Rompo yesterday

@lapis juniper can confirm

AED into a sleep, but it was the delayed explosion that killed

[lapis juniper]

Not only that

The CB's actual weapon hitbox

Fucking missed

[tardy grotto]

So it went down like
> bonk
> who woke me u-
> 💥

🎵

[tardy grotto]

Oh, did it on your end?

[lapis juniper]

Yup lmao

[tardy grotto]

I fully connected on mine

At least, I saw the damage number

[elder tusk]

[hollow comet]

back to the mines

[final hedge]

gl

lagi sapphire kinda brutal

I would maybe do the sky and sea quest

[hollow comet]

yeah i need those spheres anyways..

[final hedge]

the rathalos in it doesnt seem to have much hp

that or hes just super weak to dragon

[tardy grotto]

We should get a group going

Is there a Squad for PNet?

[final hedge]

I don't think so

[hollow comet]

there is! but it's just called Squad since leadership got transferred due to inactivity

[elder tusk]

Have they added a setting to turn off ownership transfer yet?

[hollow comet]

dunno :(

[tardy grotto]

Time for a new one?

[hollow comet]

the frenzied monsters in nadia's quest were tough

ouchie

very good

[hollow comet]

yeah ikr

he exploded quickly after lagi took some chunks out of him

https://medal.tv/games/monster-hunter-wilds/clips/matQSIbes6_8T4X4i

got a classic sfx mod :D

a little surprise at the end 😭

[elder tusk]

I love this mod so much

[hollow comet]

it's so awesome 🥹

[elder tusk]

It's such a shame that it's not really technically possible to get the cooking theme right

[hollow comet]

it affects basically everything i can think of

i was just expecting items, whetstones, and gathering

[elder tusk]

I've been following the modder since they started working on World, and they're pretty thorough

[hollow comet]

but even the item bar and menus and item box and equipment change n stuff are different

[hollow comet]

seems like it!

i found the world one first when i was looking to replace hit sfx with world ones

definitely gonna throw it on world when I next play that

I wonder if there's a mod out there that changes every hzv to the tenderized one tbh..

I know there's on that restores wex to 15/30/50 or whatever

[tardy grotto]

Wex?

[graceful snow]

Weakness Exploit

[hollow comet]

^^

[hollow comet]

oh hell yeah, found one! they buffed some of the better hitzones instead of all, which us fine :D

and it comes with old WEX too

[hollow comet]

it's a skill that gives you affinity (crit rate) when hitting weak points (when your damage number is yellow, hitzone value >= 45)

https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterworld/mods/5601

if anybun else is interested

good week of wilding! I'm so happy the performance is fine enough, and I had a blast doing AT Arkveld, hunting with Audrey, and learning Lance

back to only playing intermittently because of school

[elder tusk]

Ohhhh hell yeah

I decided to give Iceborne Community Edition a try (once installing it actually worked) and it makes similar changes

[wanton scroll]

Gonna try Valstrax today

Damn. Valstrax has wings, yo

[hollow comet]

very interesting!!

do you know if they end up adding exclusive content? the changes definitely look novel and reasonable but I'm always a little iffy on mods/save files that can't be reverted to vanilla

[wanton scroll]

okay maybe we should stop trying to take pictures and actually play

[hollow comet]

2x MR progression between 25 and 100 😭

[hollow comet]

LOL

yeah valstrax is quite the opponent

[hollow comet]

LS changes are quite interesting! and I like many of the other changes they made :D

[wanton scroll]

Okay, probably just going to start Sunbreak then

[hollow comet]

safi upgrade mats from GL is nice too..

[wanton scroll]

I just beat HR Great Izuchi in like 5 minutes after getting switch skils.........

holy shit

Correction; Under 5 minutes

Getting back into LS so I need that HR tail piece so I can get to the first MR LS Izuchi has

[near bane]

anyone down to play some wilds ?

[elder tusk]

No new content that I know of, but a lot of monster mods are compatible (I'm pretty sure White Fatalis is compatible, for instance)

[hollow comet]

okok ty!

that means it's probably fine to bring it back to vanilla.. but I'll backup as normal in any case 🙂‍↕️

[tardy grotto]

White Fatty?

[hollow comet]

yuhb

there's fatalis, crimson fatalis, and white/old fatalis

I still haven't done white fatalis in GU... I think it's the only monster I haven't hunted

[tardy grotto]

White is hard, right?

[hollow comet]

I believe so, although they are all tough

white fatty does some lightning stuff and that is all i know

[tardy grotto]

What's Crim's deal?

[hollow comet]

fire

it can call meteors down and I think fire pillars can come up from the ground

but it's been several months since I did that fight 😩

[tardy grotto]

Nodnod

I should play GU

[hollow comet]

ooooooough i forgot it does Blastblight too....

41 seconds left on the clock

[hollow comet]

[tardy grotto]

Trick is getting it

[hollow comet]

😔

you'll figure it out

i believe

[tardy grotto]

And finishing the 5 other games I have already

[hollow comet]

true!

i am still decision paralyzed but is ok

[tardy grotto]

At what?

[hollow comet]

which MH to play if any, alongside 2 other games

[tardy grotto]

Ah, yup

Mood

Stories 3

[near bane]

why are there so many events in wilds, i cant figure out what im missing

i have like 2 weapons that are question marks and i have to figure out what they are

[final hedge]

have you done savage omega and gog

[elder tusk]

fortunately they're all permanent now, but I really wish they'd put out better official references for which event quests are for what

game8 has the most functional reference that I've seen

https://game8.co/games/Monster-Hunter-Wilds/archives/538734

[final hedge]

yeah game8 is handy

[near bane]

i havent done savage

[final hedge]

event weapons like those dont show question marks in the tree tho I dont think

it'll just be savage then

[near bane]

thanks

[final hedge]

he has an SnS and an IG

[tardy grotto]

Hey

Any up for a hunt or few?

[hollow comet]

do mh3u wii/3ds save transfer and local multiplayer depend on servers, or are they local wireless?

[elder tusk]

I'm fairly certain they're local wireless and that I did one without wifi once, but it's Been A While

[tardy grotto]

Is there much difference between 4U/GU?

[elder tusk]

4U has more of a traditional story experience with a more curated selection of content, GU is more of a victory lap of everything up to that point without especially meaningful narrative cohesion (and has styles and arts which add exponentially more complexity to the combat)

[hollow comet]

[elder tusk]

I distinctly remember having the exact same anxiety the first time I did it, but I can't imagine any reason why it would need a network since old Nintendo handhelds used to have their own pretty robust wireless intercommunication

[hollow comet]

gotcha! thanksss

[teal halo]

do you think that wylk and therefore wyveria has a certain scent to it?

[final hedge]

if so its probably a nice smell

since they like have it in their food in sild

[teal halo]

true..

i was just wondering given how intense the nose of an odogaron is, since they chose that to be a guardian for some reason

[potent kraken]

Guardian due to good nose, speed, bleed inflict and general knife tornado shenanigans probably

Doshaguma due to sheer tank

And as far as I can tell wylk may just smell like a milk & monster energy mix

[tardy grotto]

Fulgur Anja for zappy shenanigans

[potent kraken]

Fulgur might also be there due to nose and general tracking

[tardy grotto]

True

[potent kraken]

And a bit of tank

[tardy grotto]

I honestly think Wylk smells like condensed milk

[potent kraken]

I wouldn’t put it past fulgur anjanaths to have the fish organs that track other fish electric pulses just to track prey with

[teal halo]

maybe

but other than the thunder and the coloration i'm not sure fulgurs are too different from normal anjanaths

[elder tusk]

counterpoint: have you ever smelled fertilizer?

[elder tusk]

Fuck this thing btw

all the baby nerscylla waiting for Nadia and I (their moms) to finish preparing their dinner:

[potent kraken]

Good job

[elder tusk]

🫡

[potent kraken]

Kinda hbg is that?

[elder tusk]

Seregios, layered with Bone

[potent kraken]

Normal or pierce?

[elder tusk]

spread!

[potent kraken]

Huh

Close up then

Seregios hbg is certainly an idea

[elder tusk]

directly in the monster's face if possible with Ballistics

[potent kraken]

Ballistics did what again?

[elder tusk]

extends maximum (and minimum) critical distance

it's mainly intended for bowgun to get further away, but it also lets it get closer

[potent kraken]

Awesome

[balmy swan]

i've heard Steve HBG can be a lot of fun thanks to bladescale reload

...speaking of which, maybe i should play with the equivalent LBG build

[final hedge]

I have also heard good things abt steve hbg

[hollow comet]

bonk

[teal halo]

just realized this quest complete has the fated four plus a a diablos and what looks to be valstrax

[hollow comet]

🙂‍↕️

[full sage]

that's specifically a bloodbath diablos

the fated four being the mascots for generations base game, bloodbath and valstrax for generations ultimate

[balmy swan]

gah i miss GenU and i wanna play it again

but that'd be the third monhun i'm playing concurrently (on top of 4U and Wilds)

...fourth if you count "i'll totally get back to World and beat Iceborne story content someday"

[hollow comet]

😭

[tardy grotto]

So?

[hollow comet]

this is the first time i've had a monster do a move with the qurio explosion iirc

garangolm is so cool, I had no recollection of it until it was assigned the anomaly bonus

[final hedge]

hes a funny guy

[hollow comet]

yeah!

I like it using its blast fists to jump around

and they're nice juicy hitzones too

lance is fun

[final hedge]

poke

[hollow comet]

the forward hop in 5th gen really helps a lot

i also used instablock successfully a few times

we're playing lies of p now

dunno what weapon I want to play in 4U

any suggestions?

CB and IG were the new additions right?

[tardy grotto]

I should play Rise

[graceful snow]

Sure

All MonHun games are good

[dark juniper]

CB is pretty good in 4U IIRC

Este (they/she) ↩️

[Reply to:](#1164963928531533855 message) CB and IG were the new additions right?

[hollow comet]

[elder tusk]

Charge Blade in 4U is my favorite CB variation

[hollow comet]

oooh

why’s that?

[elder tusk]

Just feels the best to me, partly because it's the first version I learned

I remember GU's version having changes that put me off of it, and World's version being tedious, but I haven't paid enough attention to the weapon for so long that I couldn't give specifics

[hollow comet]

gotcha

i'll give it a try and see how that version feels

from the little I played, I couldn't tell the difference from GU, but I've done 1 hunt so far 🙂‍↕️

too busy delivering kelbi horns..

[mystic cape]

4U is also during the time it was the most busted due to first introduction

[hollow comet]

so i've heard...

was it the same for IG?

[mystic cape]

Been debating trying it out in Wilds since I've found some... lackluster response to the newest LS incarnation. All the counter stuff has gotten a bit much for me, and also the meta combo being two button spam with helmbreaker being a mistake most of the time is disappointing.

[tardy grotto]

Wilds CB feels gooood

[mystic cape]

I've played it a bit in previous games, I just usually stuck with LS for the simplicity and efficacy.

[tardy grotto]

It's a little complex

But

Pizza Cutter gonbrrrr

[hollow comet]

yes...

I finally dropped LS and picked up lance and had a grand time

I'm not a fan of CS1 > Spirit 1, and being able to turn Crimson Slashes in any direction makes me feel so flimsy

along with the movement Spirit Blades, idk :(

it feels like it's trying too hard to feel fluid, when I prefer the flow it had before

which is fine! I've made my peace with not playing it in this game and branching out has been fun

[potent kraken]

Not much has changed for hbg from worlds to wilds. Maybe shelling and less modding on it (which sucks, I miss my rapid pierce 3 legiana shattercryst) but else not much difference. Started gunlance though

[tardy grotto]

Also offsets

[potent kraken]

On hbg? Barely time to think on that weapon to plan offset

[hollow comet]

i actually ran out of these

i didn’t realize all the decos i was making were using them…

just need to make 1 master’s touch, then do lunagaron anomaly for the 4 slot one

and then it’s off to primordial for gloves, then my lance build comes together pretty well

[tardy grotto]

LR drip check

[red gazelle]

Guys I’m getting absolutely destroyed by any arch tempered monster because I still have my greatsword build but I swapped to cb some time ago

Anyone know where I can get builds that don’t require me to have access to AT Nu udra or AT Jin dahaad

[hollow comet]

they call me the lancer

this is the highest i've upgraded a weapon anomaly-wise

[final hedge]

poke poke

and dare I say

poke

[hollow comet]

🙂‍↕️

since i'm at school eating lunch i played on mnk

how do people do this

i'm sure it's easier in games where there isn't a wirebug button....

[final hedge]

thats the only way I play

[hollow comet]

i rebound it

[final hedge]

I had my wirebugs on one of the mouse side buttons

[hollow comet]

yeah same

oh god playing rise without side buttons

fear

i kept pressing RMB to block because of a brief stint I did with Lies of P on mouse

[final hedge]

playing any of them without side buttons

[hollow comet]

but that is high thrust

[final hedge]

part of why I play on mouse and keyboard also is that I think the controller bindings are objectively bad

you gotta have your attacks on triggers and bumpers so you can attack move and turn the camera

without having to do some crazy claw grip

[hollow comet]

inch resting ...

yeah I was talking with a friend about 3D and 2D games yesterday, and they mentioned needing 1 digit/whole hand for camera in 3D

I use the refocus button a lot instead of the right stick so thankfully I don't claw grip, but it's definitely a bane to not have camera control during combat without rebinding

[final hedge]

demons souls had this down in 2009

[hollow comet]

what did it do

[final hedge]

attack on triggers and bumpers

[hollow comet]

sometimes I anchor rage too !!

[final hedge]

left bumper is block, right bumper is attack, right trigger is heavy attack

idk what left trigger does but in elden ring for example its the weapon art

[hollow comet]

oh yeye

sorry for a sec i thought demon souls had some crazy solution for the camera

like gyro

[final hedge]

lol no

[hollow comet]

that darn lion

[final hedge]

toaster

[hollow comet]

yea

almost there!

[final hedge]

did my first gog run with friends

we got him to skull but I carted

[tardy grotto]

I kinda wanna run a Quad Lance squad vs Gog

[hollow comet]

😔

i believe

you’ve got this

[balmy swan]

Gog's a rough go until you learn the fight, getting him to skull on your first try is doing pretty good

[hollow comet]

[final hedge]

I did one solo try and beat him

[hollow comet]

let’s freaking grow

[final hedge]

very sloppy but still made it

[hollow comet]

[final hedge]

now I got some good ass bows

and can replace my odogaron coil

[final hedge]

the oobie goobies

[hollow comet]

the theme is so funny

[final hedge]

I couldnt really hear it over chatting to my friends but I have been told it is like proof of a hero with silly noises

we did oobie goobies and then gog lol

equal levels of challenge tbh

[elder tusk]

https://youtu.be/jZPj2Xn_GUs

here ya go

[final hedge]

they did straight up play proof of a hero for gog phase 3 which was fun

[hollow comet]

🙂‍↕️

[elder tusk]

YA

[teal halo]

isnt this what the futuristic hunting horn plays

[final hedge]

I was just thinking "if I fail the quest now thats so evil"

it does sound like the cosmoloid horn

[teal halo]

the fuckass warframe looking stuff

[hollow comet]

I like some of the looks for those weapons but I do not want to buy them out of principle

[elder tusk]

I got sniped by a meteor while climbing to the high ground and carted on my first Gog phase 3 right after Proof of a Hero dropped 😭

[hollow comet]

omg

😭

[final hedge]

I carted to the dps check failure nuke and then came back and hit it one time and it died

so rude

[hollow comet]

real

it can't die during nuke startup right?

[final hedge]

I assume thats the reason yeah

like I did enough damage to kill it at some point during the nuke sequence but it was locked in

[tardy grotto]

I did that on my first Udra yesterday

[elder tusk]

also I genuinely have not gotten a successful AT Noodra with randos yet

[tardy grotto]

I got carted out of an SAED, came back, and killed it with a Bomb pod

[elder tusk]

gonna just do one with support hunters later and see how it goes

[final hedge]

I did it solo and it was fine

[final hedge]

I think I tried with support hunters once and failed and then did it solo once and won

[hollow comet]

i died to Alatreon nova because it can't die during windup

then killed with clutch claw 😭

[final hedge]

lmaoo

[elder tusk]

😭

[final hedge]

I think its the exact same thing

man I wonder what they're gonna have in the dlc

because we're already kind of at safi/alatreon levels with the base game

gog is a big fancy fight

and savage omega

[elder tusk]

I feel like they can't really get away with much worse difficulty-wise, since we already have "monster pivots with no warning and one-shots you on accident"

[final hedge]

gog has got those big steppies

I think they can definitely get much harder

[tardy grotto]

Bazel, or riot

[final hedge]

nothing has been that bad so far imo

give me my furious rajang

[hollow comet]

excited to get back to world and finish off hunting every monstie in the game (except maybe collabs)

think it’s just fatalis, f rajang, and lavasioth

but that can wait

i am honestly so pumped to try the tenderizing rebalance

and maybe engage with safi weapons since i now know how they work (ish) due to gog

but! already playing rise, i will resist the temptation lmao

[tardy grotto]

Safi weapons?

[hollow comet]

from the safi'jiiva siege, strong weapons with rng elements

i don't like the fight though lol

Oh! I haven't done Kulve euther

[final hedge]

I kinda hate safi and kulve

I dont like the rng and they take so looong

at least with gog its not quite as bad bc you can reroll parts separately

[hollow comet]

yeahhh

i don’t like fighting safi bc u might have to do it twice and it’s not very interactive as an LS player

you have to retenderize every 30 seconds and just hit back legs or tail

hell

it’s how i feel with omega but i like the mechanics more for omega

and for gog you can meld focuses now iirc

and pulp monsters into ore

so you do not need to do gog for gogmartians now

I found a mod that adds dracolites as 5% Guiding Lands drops, not sure if you need safi parts to meld weapons tho

[final hedge]

oh shit nice

[hollow comet]

yaya

[final hedge]

I guess I have to charm farm at some point

but I have some workable ones

I think my bow build one is like evade window 2 stamina surge 1 and 2 1 slots

because thats three skill points I would only be getting from slotted gems so its more efficient than like agitator 2 bc I have plenty of 3 slots

[hollow comet]

that’s nuts

[hollow comet]

speaking of charms, I recently learned about 3U's cursed charm tables 😭

[final hedge]

its only any good if you are an evade window nerd like me

otherwise not very useful

[hollow comet]

🙂‍↕️

[final hedge]

and mathematically its only as good as like an agitator 3 charm or something which isnt that hard to craft

[hollow comet]

seems amazing for bow flexibility

hmm gotcha

[final hedge]

but the 1 slots are nice

with bow I literally slot all of the stamina surge and constitution

[hollow comet]

what are you supposed to do with the tracers?

[final hedge]

?

you stick em to the bit you want to target and they extend your range a bit

[hollow comet]

i don’t really know how to use em

other than they curve your arrows

[final hedge]

its useful in multiplayer when the monster is switching targets and not showing you its face

[hollow comet]

gotcha lol

mm

so stick it on a good hitzone and keep blasting

[final hedge]

yeah

I dont use them very much

but thats a mouse and keyboard thing because I can basically perfectly keep my reticle on whatever I want

I imagine its more of a faff on controller

[final hedge]

while still like running and shooting and stuff

everything targets them including dragon piercer so it can make those go a bit whimsical

[hollow comet]

[hollow comet]

yeah, I kinda just do shots and power shots/volleys

I have not actively checked this, but it feels like camera pan when the reticle is on the monster is slower on controller

[final hedge]

I have been mixing in the jump shots for positioning lately

[hollow comet]

I don't have too much trouble hitting the monster, though my precise aiming could use some work

[final hedge]

yeah that would make sense

[hollow comet]

ohh yeah the jump shots..

I forget about those too, along with arc shots

[final hedge]

its basically the same dash dance and startup tech from rise, and then if you feel greedy (me always) you can do the quick mode dragon piercer

[hollow comet]

the jump shots look snazzy

[final hedge]

arc shots are kind of useless

[hollow comet]

😭

[final hedge]

but they make your reticle lock much faster if you want to get a wound quickly and have time to set it up with an arc shot beforehand

[hollow comet]

oooh cool

[final hedge]

startup is normal -> normal -> power -> power and then you just chain anim cancel dash -> normal -> power -> optional 2nd power

rise bow was so strong it was very silly

welcome to the damage number factory

[hollow comet]

yeah...

especially with chaotic gore set lmao

stamina who

does normal > normal > power upgrade the power shot?

[final hedge]

I never got that far tbh

[hollow comet]

i've been doing N N N P P

[final hedge]

I dont think I really did any sunbreak post launch stuff

[final hedge]

ya

[hollow comet]

oh.

😭

[final hedge]

after 2 normals you are on charge level 3

you can see it with the lil dots on the side of the reticle

[hollow comet]

I thought it used the level of the last normal

you can what

😨

[final hedge]

there are dots

no dots for level 1, 2 dots for level 2, 4 dots for level 3

[hollow comet]

amazing

i love learning new things /gen

[final hedge]

yeah its new for wilds

its neat

[hollow comet]

ohhh gotcha

[final hedge]

before you just had to mentally keep track

[hollow comet]

yeah 😭

rise makes you glow funny colours i think

[final hedge]

was kind of fun in rise keeping track and adjusting combos

yeah it does but with the extra level its hard to tell

thats why you shoot one more regular shot in rise because it goes up to level 4 instead of 3

[tardy grotto]

And I thought Charge Blade was complex

[final hedge]

charge blade is pretty simple it just has a lot of ways to do the same thing

but you only really need to know one way for each

[tardy grotto]

Great Sword is simple

[final hedge]

great sword is complicated you need to know your windows and positioning

cb you can just block

[tardy grotto]

True

[final hedge]

or guard point on reaction and get chainsaw

bow is not complicated though really

[tardy grotto]

The one CB thing I can't get down is charging the blade

[final hedge]

you just do your funny dance and things die

oh you dont need to charge the blade it doesnt matter

[tardy grotto]

I have yet to get the glowysword

[final hedge]

you do it by cancelling out of the shield charge I think

[tardy grotto]

I try

No dice

[final hedge]

[hollow comet]

OHH yeah!

😭

i forgot about bow charge plus

[tardy grotto]

I am enjoying CB a lot, though

[final hedge]

cb is fun

maybe its time for another audrey cb arc

[tardy grotto]

Tuns out

[hollow comet]

it's phial charge then hold primary attack for charging the sword iirc?

[final hedge]

I played it a lot in iceborne

[tardy grotto]

Perfect Guards easy

[hollow comet]

CB was my starter weapon in world, and I played it a bit once I got through Iceborne too

[final hedge]

I like weapons that make me feel like I have a big brain. like horn

[hollow comet]

the wilds perfect guard window is really big yeah

I get offensive guards when I feel like I shouldn't

[tardy grotto]

I should play horny, tbh

[hollow comet]

like at least 30-40f after I tap shield

[final hedge]

rise horn is zero brain and wilds horn is a bit less brain than world but not nearly as bad

its also just really strong

[tardy grotto]

Perfect Guard -> Savage Axe -> Unga my Bunga

[final hedge]

I feel like because nobody plays it the devs are like yeah sure we'll give horn that

[tardy grotto]

Repeat

[hollow comet]

yeah rise horn is not horn.....

[final hedge]

rise horn is insect glaive with extra steps

and its tragic

but it's fun in its own right as a different weapon and still stylish

[hollow comet]

mhmm

[final hedge]

I support them experimenting with stuff like that in the handheld games tbh I think its nice to have wacky stuff every now and then

[hollow comet]

i liked it a lot then tried to play horn in another game

[final hedge]

and some of it gets absorbed and improved and carried over

[hollow comet]

😵‍💫

ye!

[tardy grotto]

Can't wait for Gen6 HH

[hollow comet]

like dodgebolt getting worked into charging sidestep

[final hedge]

this is gen 6 isn't it

[hollow comet]

yuh

alright toaster i'm coming for that tail

[final hedge]

then you better start believing in gen6 horn. because you're in one

[tardy grotto]

HandHeld, sorry

[hollow comet]

wait idk if i want to go for it with lance

[final hedge]
