Probably not those exact numbers, but they were absurd

solemn orbit
#

potato potato

warped hawk
#

Light Bowgun is fun

solemn orbit
#

yes

#

yes it is

#

it jsut becomes a pain for with all the munitons type

#

also

#

don't forget to check the stuff you can add on bowguns

#

(silencer/long cannon)

warped hawk
#

I added long cannon

solemn orbit
#

silencer is only useful inmultiplayer anyway

#

oh,also warning your right now before you get one and wander if it's a bug

#

some lbg/hbg don't shoot straight

#

(there's armor skills to fix it if you need to later on)

warped hawk
#

I went on a hunt

#

Realised I killed wrong monster xD

#

In terms of ammo

#

I'm out of ammo

#

Two monsters in

#

There's one thing I dislike, how much info I need to find online

#

Like, what's Affinity in armor skills?

solemn orbit
#

just pick up stuff and craft ammo

#

you're in low rank

#

stuff to craft piercing ammo is everywhere

#

:D

#

(lvl 1 piercing ammo I mean)

#

:3

#

I jsut use and abuse that stuff in low rank lbg

#

plus it's designed this way anyway

#

also

#

you can just...go back to camp and grab more items in the tent/change your gear

#

your chest is there

warped hawk
#

I can what

solemn orbit
#

not much of a need to do that in low rank though apart from grabbing ranquilizer to capture

#

jsut gather stuff as you hunt

#

a single pick up of the thing you need to craft piercing ammo allows you to make 40 piercin bullets thingy (lvl 1)

#

and it's evrywhere

#

AND it repops quickly

#

use and abuse picking up sstuff to craft ammo

#

cause you'll need it.

#

you can add shortcuts to crafting specific items on your radial shortcuts thingy

#

:D

#

set it to craft max and bam.

#

done.

#

then again it auto crafts them as you pick them up

#

up to your max limit for items,then you can craft from shortcut once you run out again if you still have enough of those herbs

#

:D

#

(it's a world screenshot but it's the same shape)

#

JUST PICK UP ANY ITEMS YOU COME BY ANYWAY

#

:D

warped hawk
#

POV: you knocked down Izuchi and you had special ammunition loaded

#

machinegun goes brrrrrr

solemn orbit
warped hawk
#

I unlocked Switch Skills

solemn orbit
#

ha ha,you unlocked SOME switch skills

#

you unlock a few switch skills simply by making a few different weapons

#

as in,making enough lbgs for exemple

#

I think there's another for quests or something ?

#

or was it enough village quests ? I forgor.

#

then there's some where you need to do a high rank quest for each skill

#

and then some more in the dlc

solemn orbit
#

YES

#

the melee hit with the arrow still does slicing damage

#

melee bow tail cuts are the best

icy stump
# solemn orbit then there's some where you need to do a high rank quest for each skill

First you get by progressing
Then by making/upgrading 8 weapons (this can be cheese just by making the same weapon like 8 times however)
Then each weapon has a unique HR quest for the 3rd switch skill in base rise

In SB every weapon gets their new non skilkbind switch skill in the switch skill swap tutorial, then unlocks all the new silkbinds like halfway through MR4

solemn orbit
#

delightfully precise,neat

#

oh right there's a guard point/counter witht he melee bow hit

#

hue hue hue

#

oh right I forgot

#

there's a tree in the place where youg et more cat and dogs

#

and where you send them on mission

#

at top of the trees you'll get items once in a while

#

your pet owl is nice.

solemn orbit
#

it's not crazy it doesn't block everything,but it helps get you through a lot of shit

#

sure feels like it's been nerfed since the laste time I abused ti though

#

but yeah it's still pretty good

#

:D

#

it's on the switch skill where you hit melee with an arrow

icy stump
#

Dodgebolt?

solemn orbit
#

it's tiny and fragie but bit of a guard point

#

prolly dun't know the english names of the skills and won't risk translating them

#

since msot of the time it's a different name more than translated

icy stump
#

Today I managed to solo my triple kush/valstrax/anomaly rajang investigation with no carts or buddies

#

Took me 40 minutes

#

BUT GET DUNKED ON YA STUPID BASTARDS

warped hawk
#

Insect Glaive is like Millia

#

But in Monster Hunter

heady goblet
#

True and real

solemn orbit
#

psst

#

gunlance can fly too in mhrise

heady goblet
#

Bow is Chipp

solemn orbit
#

first of all

#

how dare you

heady goblet
#

Am I wrong?

solemn orbit
#

I'd say it's more like a tiny leo spamming side change

heady goblet
#

Leo has survivability

solemn orbit
#

well I'm not dying

heady goblet
#

Neither is Chipp, but that's only because he's impossible to hit

solemn orbit
#

nah you can literally punch him when he charges invisible

heady goblet
#

Your Chipps are using Alpha Blade?

solemn orbit
icy stump
#

Is there a armor skill to buff bows powershot?

heady goblet
#

There's mighty bow

#

Which gives you another shot level

icy stump
#

Aight I gots that

#

Anything else?

heady goblet
#

Make sure your level 3 and level 4 shot types match

#

And make sure you use the shot type buff for the respective shot type of the last two levels

icy stump
#

So for the chaotic bow I'd need rapid up

#

And mighty bow

heady goblet
#

Yes

icy stump
#

Ok

heady goblet
#

Oh

icy stump
#

Chaotic set got me acting silly

heady goblet
#

You want elemental attack

icy stump
#

Makes me miss old dash juice

heady goblet
#

And also, this might seem odd

#

But you want exactly 2 points in reload speed

icy stump
#

Ok
Why?

heady goblet
#

It allows coatings to be auto equiped when selected

icy stump
#

Ah

#

But what if I just wanna use close range?

heady goblet
#

Just swap to a coating, and then swap back to it

icy stump
#

I like close range coating cause I got infinite of em

heady goblet
#

Power Coatings are objectively better though

icy stump
#

Bit close range is more btaindead

heady goblet
#

Power doesn't have a range restriction

#

And it gives bigger number

icy stump
#

You say that like I won't point blank the monster 24/7

heady goblet
#

Yes

#

Because that's how you die

icy stump
warped hawk
#

How can I play multiplayer in MH?

solemn orbit
#

hub quests,they're the one in the building htingy close to the dango chef lady

#

there,when you pick a quest,you can pick the option to request help (people willjoin from the board thingy)

#

or you can talk to the cat that gives you the event quests to make/join a session,where you'll be in someone's village and ask them for help

#

(usually people pick one quest each on a rotation)

#

although it might be hard to find people for low rank quests now

#

especially since the dlc came out

#

I'd still recommend doing most of low rank on your own as tutorial

#

high rank is harder after all...and dlc is even harder

#

to be precise,Hinoa gives you quest you can't go in multipayer (village quest)

#

Minoto gives you the quests that can be done in multiplayer

#

oone thing to keep in mind htough

#

Hinoa's quests,village quests,really are meant as tutorial.the monsters there have lower health than they do in minoto's quests

solemn orbit
heady goblet
#

How's hoonting by the way Tako?

solemn orbit
#

jsut finished my first hunt of the day

#

I4ll probably finish the 2Nd lvl of high rank today

#

2 key quests left after all

heady goblet
#

Very nice

#

I'm gonna work on my Spread bows

solemn orbit
#

unless I go weapon hoping again

#

I do like melee bow but I usually get tired of it quickly and go straight back to doot

heady goblet
#

I mean, I think I might be able to phase out my rapid bows if I can finalize all my spread bows

solemn orbit
#

I'm currently back to bows

#

but in a few days I went GS;HH,and now bow

#

I'm addicted to weapon hopping

#

send help

#

and lbg at some point as wel

heady goblet
#

I'm working on an HBG set as well

#

I just need Shaggy pants and then decos

solemn orbit
#

oh the dodgebolt thingy can send a volvidon flying when he's charging right at you,right

solemn orbit
#

emergency quest HR mizutsune done

icy stump
#

Imma be honestly
Playing bow like a melee weapon is fun as hell

solemn orbit
#

there are other way to play bow ?

heady goblet
heady goblet
#

I should note

#

This is my favorite layered set

heady goblet
#

God I hate afflicted Monster farming

heady goblet
#

Unga

#

That's me

icy stump
#

Whaaaaaaaaaaaa

icy stump
#

Fuck

icy stump
#

Yknow, there's a special kind of pride when you hunt with a rando a couple of times and you see them progress

icy stump
#

Yknow
Maybe element on GS isn't cringe

#

Considering it cut my anomaly furious George hunt time in half

icy stump
#

Apparently my MHR playtime this year on the my Nintendo year review thingy was over 600 hours

#

And my GU one was 330

#

The next highest game was somehow warframe at 75

icy stump
icy stump
#

Is it just me or does zinogre feel weirdly tuned up for MR in Sunbreak co.pared to alot of other monsters?

heady goblet
#

It's possible

#

You could stunlock him mad easy in base Rise

icy stump
#

Yeah but also like he just feels like way more aggressive in SB compared to literally any other game

#

Like it feels like I'm fighting a thunderlord more than a normal MR zinogre

#

Like he almost feels like how IB zinogre shoulda felt, considering he was locked behind endgame (for some godforsaken reason)

heady goblet
#

Iceborne had

#

Questionable balancing

icy stump
#

I'm not gonna sugarcoat it
In terms of balancing in general for MR I think IB was shitty

#

Like
Zinogre yian Garuda locked behind endgame

heady goblet
#

Oh, definitely

icy stump
#

Ruiner nergi locked to MR 100

heady goblet
#

Metal Raths were way too crazy for when you unlocked them

icy stump
#

While fatalis is only MR 24

#

Same with alatreon

#

Then there's the whole clutch claw debacle

heady goblet
#

Which do you actually think was harder?

#

Ala or Fatty?

icy stump
#

Idk

#

On one hand

#

Fatty hits like a fucking truck, and has a shorter time limit than normal, meaning you have to be 100% on your game basically

#

On the other

#

Eschaton judgement can fuck up your whole team if someone's element ain't up to snuff/someone lagging

#

So idk

#

Personally I wish eschaton judgement was less intrusive to the fight

#

Like putting the entire fight on pause to force you to chug HP items is just lame imo

#

Like I'm fine with the "use element to weaken it schtick" I just wish it was like a normal move, you can like, dodge normally

#

Not some wack ass instakill move

heady goblet
#

You can actually tank through it

#

It's just

#

Nigh impossible

icy stump
#

I know

#

But like that's the problem here imo

#

No matter what, you're getting hit

#

It's not like a espicynas nuke. Or the valstrax ambush, or a anomaly burst you can dodge

#

You getting forced to take damage just kinda feels disingenuous

heady goblet
#

Well, you can farcast out before it happens, and that essentially serves the same purpose

#

Which granted

#

Is an expensive dodge

icy stump
#

...didn't they make farcasters illegal in that fight?

heady goblet
#

No

icy stump
#

Wait what the hell?

heady goblet
#

You can farcast at any point except for when Escaton is happening

icy stump
#

Oh

heady goblet
#

That's the only caveat

icy stump
#

...did they change that later?

heady goblet
#

No, that was the state from day 1

icy stump
#

I coulda sworn they said something about farcasters not working at all in the fight

#

Huh

#

Like I swear the tutorial window when you went in there said something along the lines of "farcasters don't work on the lowest lvl of the secluded valley" or some bull like that

heady goblet
#

Yeah nah, that's not how the Ala fight works

icy stump
#

I think I was lied to by the game

#

Wait, did you play on PC or console?

heady goblet
#

PC

icy stump
#

Did the PC version catch up to the console version update wise by the time alatreon came out?

#

Cause I remwber there was like a time where they were a few updates behind or something

heady goblet
#

I believe they caught up with the Safi update

icy stump
#

Huh

#

I think
I think the game just fuckin lied to me or I misread the tutorial message wrong

heady goblet
#

Did you ever do the event version?

icy stump
#

Yeah

heady goblet
#

Hmmmm

icy stump
#

I found the thing where they said that

#

The text in game was like verbatim to this

heady goblet
#

Very odd

icy stump
#

So those sickos fucking lied

heady goblet
#

Because I have Farcast out of that level

icy stump
#

Did you farcaster out vs Safi maybe?

#

Because there it works unless he's doing sapphire of the emperor

heady goblet
#

No, I never needed to Farcast on Safi

icy stump
#

Honestly I think they mightve changed it later down the line

heady goblet
#

It's possible

icy stump
#

Cause like
That'd explain the me thinking you couldn't use it
Yet you could

#

Idk

#

All in all I hope to gog they don't drop the ducking ball in terms of boss balance in SB with some MMO ass balancing decision

#

Like so far I'd say all the boss balancing for SB has been on point

heady goblet
#

Depends on how much you like MMOs

icy stump
#

Only thing I'm midly agitated by is how fast scorned magnamalo is
My brain Doesn't think something that big should move that fast

heady goblet
#

Valstrax tho

icy stump
icy stump
heady goblet
#

He is bigger and faster

icy stump
#

Yeah, but he's got rockets for wings

heady goblet
#

And Magnamalo has been showcased to move incredibly fast in his base form

icy stump
#

Yeah

#

I guess that's fair

#

admittedly this is a big me problem, I think both those schmucks move too fast for being zinogre sized

#

But it's notably worse on scorned

heady goblet
#

Zinogre is also incredibly fast my guy

icy stump
#

He's not like nargacuga tho who has a nasty habit of jumping behind you

#

Magnamalo got that

heady goblet
#

Nargacuga is a great fight though

#

I should note

#

I am biased

icy stump
#

Natgacuga is cool

heady goblet
#

Silverwind Nargacuga is my favorite deviant

icy stump
#

The other thing is, nargacuga is predictable as hell

#

Like, he jumps behind you, he's gonna either pounce ya or take a wing slash at ya, all of which can be reacted to pretty well

#

Scorned get shit like his stupidly fast tailstab, the air spins, the arm slashes, etc

#

...seriously is it just me or does that tailstab feel like ludicrously fast

heady goblet
#

Not really, it's pretty well telegraphed imo

icy stump
#

I mean I guess when your in the thick if it yeah

heady goblet
#

I also abuse the fuck outta target cam, so there's that

icy stump
#

But like, if you're on the other side of the map and he starts doing it at yoh while your like healing, that shits a legit jumpscare

#

He just fucking flies across the entire map In .1 second to stab me In The fucking face

#

You use the auto track cam or the hit l to center on target can?

#

I use the latter

#

Maybe I'm not abusing target cam enough?
Idk

heady goblet
#

Maybe

#

I spam the shit out of it

solemn orbit
#

Idon'tthink anyone with any sanity left uses the auto track cam

solemn orbit
icy stump
#

When I get frontiers I'm never taking off the rathalos armor

icy stump
solemn orbit
icy stump
#

Today I had a funny experience

I was playing with a guy using HH
Dude was pretty new considering he barely Broke MR (was like MR68)
He Kept dying (probably cause he was using the ||archfiend|| armor but still)

So yknow what I do?
Use HH Myself and spam heals to prevent death

#

Also taught him the importance of bringing the right horn to the right situation

By demonstrating with the toaster HH to show how much antidote+health recovery (s) just denys chameleos his ability to fight back

#

Makes me miss the athal ka HH from GU tho

#

Being able to invalidate EX dreadqueens entire fuckin gimmick?

Priceless

icy stump
#

I think I've discovered the unironic worst kind of hunter

#

The fuckin assholes who join a lobby and just post their own quest not giving a damn about anything else

#

Like I was helping a guy through MR

#

Two fuckin assholes join and post their own quests and refuse to fuckin help the lower MR guy

#

Like
If you're gonna do that, why not make your own damn lobby ffs

#

Jokes on those dickheads tho

Helped the guy go from MR 4->final boss

#

Which was cool

icy stump
#

I think I just ran into the most chuuni MH player known to man

#

MFer called his CB playstyle "bloody axe style"

#

Like on one hand
Cool Name

#

On the other
He named his playstyle bloody axe style

#

And all his auto shootouts sounded like anime Protagonist lines

solemn orbit
#

still better than shitty LS meta that can't dodge shit

icy stump
#

Like
My God

icy stump
#

But again

#

Bloody
Axe
Style

solemn orbit
#

clearly it's a fan of suisei

#

in wich case

#

based.

icy stump
#

Maybe actually

#

Idk

#

Fucking now I'm wondering what the hell I'd call my GS playstyle

solemn orbit
#

go on

#

do it

#

you know you want to

#

go full chuni

#

you can do it

icy stump
#

I mean I joked before about basically playing adept style 2.0 with redirection/strongarm stance but that doesn't really fit the bill

#

In terms of chuuni

#

Do
Do I go full chuuni?

solemn orbit
#

if you ever have to ask

#

yes

icy stump
#

I'm boutta pull a zeke von genbu

#

This
Man

#

Is the textbook definition of chuuni

cobalt summit
icy stump
#

I mean
Evade lancing vs guard lancing has been a thing for a while tbf

#

But yeah that's a less big difference in playstyle

icy stump
#

Imma do a quick AITA Here

AITA for not joining a lower MR rank guy on his quest because he showed up into a lobby opened by someone else who was tryna do their own thing?

For some context this was a guy who was MR 3, me and the other person were helping the og lobby member (who was MR 2) do their quests

The MR 3 guy (guy who joined) was also acting pretty downbad for the other 2 people in the lobby (both of em' had female hunters), and also was kinda demanding we do his quests, and cussed everyone out when we didn't give into his begging
AITA?

heady goblet
#

Nah

icy stump
icy stump
#

I had the most absurd hunt today

#

It was that one rajang event in the arena that gives you a crap ton of eggs/money, catch is there's a magmudron to annoy you, and I beat it with 0 faints

#

The catch?

#

I was playing with someone, and they went afk, Mid hunt, in the arena

#

So I used the fence to lock me, the monke and the magmudron on one side for the ultimate death match, spamming team heal items when the mons got outta line and attacked the afk person

#

And I beat it solo in like 17 minutes with 2 player scaling

distant storm
#

does the game pass version for Rise have crossplay with people from other platforms including steam?

solemn orbit
#

there is 0 crossplay in monster hunter

icy stump
#

This is crossplay between Xbox and windows I think?

#

Something like that

#

MH crossplay would be very pog

heady goblet
#

Extremely Pog, actually

distant storm
#

I was hoping for (with very little expectations) to have Steam crossplay

solemn orbit
#

crossplay would be based

#

...and crosssave would be even fucking better...

icy stump
#

Yes, I do want to roll up to some rando HR 1 Xbox player's hunt with maxed flaming espinas gear and obliterate shit, how could you tell?

distant storm
#

do you guys all play Steam?

solemn orbit
#

man,cross save is a thing on witcher 3,you'd think on monster hunter they would be able to

heady goblet
icy stump
#

I am on the switch

solemn orbit
#

I play on steam for rise now,but I haven't caught up to my switch save yet

distant storm
#

wait expansions aren't included in gamepass is it

heady goblet
#

As far as I know, at least

icy stump
#

I dont think sunbreak is even out for the main consoles yet

solemn orbit
#

usually it doesn't,iceborne is not in it,and it's not in the ps+ thingy either

#

I shold go back and continue that steam save at some point

heady goblet
#

Indeed

#

I want to do huntering with the people here

solemn orbit
warped hawk
#

I played some MH on PC

#

I haven't played in a while though

heady goblet
#

How'd it go?

warped hawk
#

I used Greatsword/Dual Blades and I believe Heavy Bowgun

heady goblet
#

Cool, Heavy Bowgun is pretty fun

solemn orbit
#

gotta try every weapon

cobalt summit
solemn orbit
#

I more or less end up with different weapons almost every games now

#

mhworld I played hammer for world,longsword for iceborne

#

rise I played lbg in the begining,moved on to HH,played a fair bit of dualblades and melee bow

#

mhgu was greatsword

#

mhfu I'm GS/LS

#

and mh4u was GS as well.

#

barely started mh3u,didn't play much of it yet

cobalt summit
#

I wanted to try out flying in the air with insect glaive

solemn orbit
#

I tried a bit in world,it was nice

cobalt summit
#

The kinsect changing my entire movekit was a bit of a change but it was fun for the few hunts I did

#

Aerial lance ended up being more familiar

solemn orbit
#

I think it was the bushido GS I used in mhgu ? the one with the dodge thingy.

#

'twas fun

cobalt summit
solemn orbit
#

I got back into mh with world,then got mhgu

#

and proceeded to being unable to go back when icebornecame out cus it was shite compared to mhgu

#

GU is so full of content as well,it's crazy

warped hawk
solemn orbit
#

InoPlan wait a minute you're playing rise

#

you haven't met the hedgehog and the flasher

icy stump
#

I think the anomaly lvl System in Sunbreak finally broke me

I'm considering actually making a scum CC build, just to make it end faster

heady goblet
#

Yeah, anomalies are less fun to grind out than Hypers, or Deviants, or even fucking Tempereds

icy stump
#

Honestly, anomalies I feel are the most interesting way they've done the "fight this monster again, but with a new universal gimmick" type of endgame schtick so far

#

The problem is the leveling system is bullshit

heady goblet
#

That's fair, but I feel like the grind itself is just the absolute fucking worst

icy stump
#

Like

Why have anomaly investigation level?

#

Why not just tie it to HR/MR?!?

heady goblet
#

And all the good shit is gated behind high level shit

#

Why couldn't they at least give us anomaly quest versions of the new investigations monsters?

icy stump
#

I did the math, assuming you get about a 3rd of a lvl worth of EXP for doing a investigation at your current level (which is somewhat generous), that's 600+ (probably) quests you have to do to get max lvl

heady goblet
icy stump
#

For reference, doing 684 deviant quests in GU literally could get you a full set of fully upgraded deviant armors and a weapon, for each deviant

That's at least 18 maxed out weapons, and 18 maxed out armor sets

#

And the kicker?
The deviant quests (relatively) are way faster to blast through

heady goblet
#

Surely you get more, right?

icy stump
#

So it's not unreasonable to blast through a whole deviant line in a day

heady goblet
#

You can blast through at least one Deviant line in a single night

#

We talking like

#

8 pm to 11 pm at the latest

icy stump
#

And hell, helping other players with their deviants? Sure you don't get unlock the next quest unless you posted, but you still get the ticket for the equipment

In SB? If you're busy helping a lower MR player with their anomaly grind, you're basically getting jack shit from it

#

You get no points
Lower end materials you prolly got a thousand of

#

And the worst part

#

With how shittily the difficulty is scaled, odds are, the anomaly Quest will actually end up taking LONGER IN MULTIPLAYER than if you just sat down and soloed it

heady goblet
#

At least Tempereds always had a chance to drop that good, good shit

#

I once got a Attack+ and Dragon Attack+ in Iceborne from a single Temp Velkhana Investigation

#

Needless to say

#

That's been the peak of my luck

icy stump
#

Like

Why. In. The. Fuck. Is. It. Faster. For. Me. To. Solo. It.

heady goblet
#

Yeah, because I think online is scaled to two players

#

At least

#

I think

icy stump
#

It scales dynamically

#

2p is 1.4, 3p is like 1.85, and 4p is 2.2 iirc

heady goblet
#

Cool

icy stump
#

Idk if it's just me being good at the game or what, but I stg, my multiplayer hunt times always feel longer than if I solo that shit

#

*in SB

heady goblet
#

Yeah, that's because all the best hunters just play GU, since it's the best one

#

That or MHFZ

icy stump
#

Like, I can kill a furious George normally in like 10 ish minutes
I helped a newer player who just hit that urgent

That shit took 20 minutes

#

Like, I get it, first encounter and all

#

But. WHAT THE HELL

heady goblet
#

Yeah, the scaling is fucked

icy stump
#

Another thing
The new event quest with the violet mizu/lucent narga

Managed to solo that in like 14 minutes
Play online with someone else (who I've been playing with for a while and they've noticeably gotten better)

Barely a time save at 12:45 ish

heady goblet
#

Interesting

icy stump
#

The problem with multiplayer scaling is that it in a way feels very give and take

#

As for me, my hunt times are barely unchanged or longer for the same monster, yet the person who I'm hunting with odds are, has a infinitely faster hunt than if they soloed it

#

Probably, yeah

#

Granted, I'm no slouch, my solo hunts are on average twice as fast if I solo than doing MP, I just like playing with other people

icy stump
#

Like let's say, hypothetically, I clone myself and have 2 me's play MH, exact same skill/set, everything, that'd double my dps output, so when compared to the HP multiplier of 1.4 (2/1.4) my hunts will roughly go 1.4 times as fast funnily enough

#

Compare this to a hunt where someone has half my damage output vs the hp multiplier in a duo (1.5/1.4)
It's barely faster at 1.07 times faster than if I (the player who was good) soloed it

#

However!

#

Relative to the person who had half my dps, relatively that hunt would be much faster than anything they could do solo (roughly 2x as fast)

#

Ergo, this point is what's leading me back to wanting to make a scum Anomaly grind build

heady goblet
#

You gonna make a mixed set?

#

This is unprecedented

icy stump
#

And I think the problem isn't that people don't have the Numbers to do the damage

They don't have the skill to be aggressive and keep attacking the monster

#

Ergo, in theory, this set should remove that little skill issue and let the randoms I hunt with more consistently convert numbers into damage

#

And that's with a combination of stat trigger, buildup boost, the cats curse Gs (only para GS in rise atm), and quick sheathe to spam the fuck outta traps

#

I have tested this somewhat in multiplayer with a not complete CC set, by simply using elemental surge slash GS with tactically placed traps

#

Me and a group of the same randoms did 2 lvl 160 mizu anomaly hunts
The not scummy one took 15+ minutes

The scummy one took 10 almost exactly

heady goblet
#

Interesting

#

Man am I glad Bow gives me all the good CC shit

icy stump
#

And that was with me just using traps a bit, not fully leaning into the BS

#

The idea is to spam traps/paras to lock down the monster as long as humanly possible

heady goblet
#

What weapons would this be done with?

icy stump
#

I'm thinking the cats curse GS, cause I still wanna have some fun with it

#

Also 50 status is big

heady goblet
#

I feel like a hammer, hunting horn, or some gunner weapon would be best

icy stump
#

I was thinking hammer, purely to double dip into stun CCs

heady goblet
#

Okay, counterpoint

#

Hunting Horn for buffs as well as all the other stuff

icy stump
#

My thinking is GS has power sheathe, which is big for CC bullshit with traps

#

Also ideally I'd grab both marionette spiders on the map before fighting the monster, cause those things are great for CC bullshit

#

So frost islands is prolly the best map to do this on, quick and easy buffs/marionette spiders/and a extra thunder Beatle, purely for going on the fun slide

#

Flooded forest is nice cause you can grab both marionettes, buffs, and a blast toad pretty quick

heady goblet
#

Unga

icy stump
#

Then all the other maps are kinda meh, with a special fuck you going out to the lava caverns for having to go all across the maps for buffs and the two spiders

icy stump
heady goblet
#

Hunting Horn is pretty unga in SB

#

It has good raw with solid status

#

And you get additional buffs for the team

icy stump
#

True

#

Gotta see if there's a good para horn tho

#

The thing is, I'm best with surge slash GS so I think I wanna stick to what I know

heady goblet
#

Never too late to do more unga

solemn orbit
#

...welp reading this makes it a lot harder to go back and finish sunbreak

#

makes one want to back to GU instead

icy stump
#

Sb is fine

#

It's just that the endgame grind is somewhat infuriating

heady goblet
#

It do be

solemn orbit
#

so nothing new with monter hunter

icy stump
#

Honestly GU deviants are fine

#

Sure the og ones are a bit long but it's not nearly as long as anomaly stuff

heady goblet
#

Even then Silverwind is a pretty quick hunt, so they're not all long

solemn orbit
#

deviants quests do get a bit crazy toward the end

#

I don't think I've enven done an entire deviant questline yet ? forgot,been a while

#

I should play GU again

heady goblet
#

Yes

#

Play GU

solemn orbit
#

I might once I ate something

icy stump
solemn orbit
#

I did play most of GU solo though

icy stump
#

You can beat a ex in like 15 minutes with a competent team

heady goblet
#

Fastest I've done them is Silverwind in like 13 minutes

solemn orbit
#

out of the deviant quests I did,only one I haven't beaten on my own but still got tickets cus it's when I started multiplayer,was the G version of the double grimclaw in that one map.yes,the frozen,one zone map

#

then again,Rise is really good so I'll prolly jsut hop on Rise tonight

heady goblet
#

Elderfrost 4 or 5 is hell

solemn orbit
#

...or 4u,I haven't done any G rank stuff in 4u yet...and stil got 3u to playthrough as well...

#

decisions,decisions.

icy stump
#

Elderfrost is prime gun material tho

solemn orbit
#

I go with GS in older mh

heady goblet
#

The throw you in the frozen arena with a Snowbaron, a Grimclaw, and then once those two are dead, you get to fight Elderfrost

heady goblet
solemn orbit
#

except FU where I keep swaping between LS and GS

heady goblet
#

The other two are not though

solemn orbit
#

...been a while since I played FU,too...

heady goblet
#

I actually learned how to play Adept LBG on EX Boltreaver

solemn orbit
#

one thing I hate about pc rise

#

compiling shaders

#

...oh.the compiling took so long I noticed that the kamura set on the loading screen is clipping through the ls scabbard (magnamalao side)

icy stump
#

Just hit ai lvl 171

#

10 more

10 more fucking lvls

#

Then I can get the shit I ACTUALLY wanted

tawdry garden
#

Anyone here who got the game through xbox game pass for PC? Im looking to where to buy sunbreak on their launcher but i cant find it

icy stump
#

Sb isn't out there yet

heady goblet
#

Yeah

icy stump
#

I'm wondering tho

#

Allegedly the game, patch wise, is comparable to current rise on PC/switch (seeing as it has auto wall run) so I wonder if someone were to say, hack it or smth if they could use the SB switch skills?

#

Or if it's just patched game balance wise

icy stump
#

Finally got to AI Lvl 181 and have adrenaline rush decos

Life Great

icy stump
#

Yknow it's a good day when you do a multi monster quest and manage to solo one of the monsters in about the same amount of time as 2 gunners took to take out the other one

#

It's a great day when you manage to do that twice

icy stump
#

So
Velkhana and risen valstrax coming to SB

#

Wahoo

heady goblet
#

Yeah

icy stump
#

God I hope risen valstrax ditches his aoe bull and is all single target aggression

#

From what I've seen
It looks like when he's risen he loses the after explosions on wingy stabs

#

In exchange
He gets a fucking shoryuken

#

As a followup

icy stump
#

Yknow I just realised something

#

With velkhana coming to SB, I can fight it without having to deal with clutch claw

Today is a good day

icy stump
#

So turns out the new valstrax set may be better than anticipated

#

That element

#

My God

icy stump
#

I 100% soloed Risen valstax with 0 carts in like 19 minutes

#

He's fun as hell, but also terrifying

icy stump
#

I just had a realization about gen 5 GS

#

The tackle into leaping wide slash is effectively the same as GUs valor dash strike

hexed willow
#

i would like to kill some monsters

icy stump
#

I am currently killing monsters

hexed willow
#

would you like to kill monsters with me

icy stump
#

You on switch?

hexed willow
#

naw

icy stump
#

Regret

hexed willow
#

wife

icy stump
#

KILL

hexed willow
icy stump
#

Got bloodlust/frostcraft/dragonheart on a build with atk up 7

That shit gets up to like 500+ attack

icy stump
#

Cursed valstrac wing

heady goblet
#

Definitely looks like a wing

icy stump
#

It's so fucked that he has like a normal ass wing that's just scrunched up

icy imp
#

ok guys which mh game is best

heady goblet
#

Personally my favorite is GU

icy imp
#

what’s that stand for

heady goblet
#

Generations Ultimate

icy imp
#

i’ve only heard of rise

heady goblet
#

That's fair, GU is from before MH blew up with World

icy imp
#

but has GU aged well

#

like ffxiv

heady goblet
#

In my opinion, yes

icy imp
#

where can u buy it??

#

i only see it on the 3ds

heady goblet
#

Generations Ultimate is Switch exclusive

icy imp
#

oh boy

#

it must run.. spectacular….

heady goblet
#

It actually runs very well

icy imp
#

how about MH on the pc

heady goblet
#

Since it was originally a 3dS game

heady goblet
icy imp
#

ice borne sounds cooler

heady goblet
#

Okay, well then you just need to get World+ the Iceborne Dlc

icy imp
#

it’s 25 bucks with the ‘not master’ version of ice borne

#

everything is on sale right now

heady goblet
#

Pretty good deal

icy stump
#

You can emulate GU on PC I'm pretty sure and you can even play with people on switch I'm pretty sure

#

Only thing is event quests don't work

icy stump
#

I beat a Lv 200~ risen Toaster anomaly investigation with him, a furious George, and bargin bin redhelm azuros, 100% solo (no pets/followers) in 30 minutes with only one cart used with heroics GS

I'm feeling greato

cobalt summit
icy stump
#

Based

#

Based and MH pilled

cobalt summit
icy stump
#

Mh Dos certainly existed

icy imp
#

what is mh dos :)

heady goblet
#

The second MH game

icy imp
#

when did it come out

heady goblet
#

2006

icy stump
#

I think I just got the single stupidest looking dunk on a garangolm today

#

Like, the MFer was lagging

So I did CB air dash->phial burst, it jumped up after, but then it acted like I hit it midair with the phial burst, so it got dunked outta the sky, and as it fell, it like slid over to the side

#

It's so fucking stupid looking

icy stump
icy stump
dark ivy
#

I’ve been out the game for a while

#

1st hunt back was against Chaotic Gore Magala

#

Missed ya Monster Hunter

dark ivy
#

Oh, good deal

#

I’m not far off from unlocking Risen Kushala

icy stump
#

Risen Kush is pretty neat

dark ivy
#

Apparently his armor is latest GL meta

#

Also, Hail Cutter buff has changed my hunting life

#

I know I know, I’m way late to the party

icy stump
#

I gotta learn GL

icy stump
dark ivy
#

sigh

#

No one wanna cut Velkhana tails for me

dark ivy
#

2 ranks away from unlocking Risen Kushala and my new meta

icy stump
dark ivy
#

So I noticed

#

Not only is it extremely hard to hit in the first place

#

But like you said, the threshold is oddly high to get the cut

#

On another note, Risen Kushala is a badass fight

icy stump
#

Risen kush overall is prolly the best designed risen elder

#

Risen Valstrac Imo is hella fun if you explicitly solo him, but in a team he sucks

dark ivy
#

Anomaly grind, we meet again…

icy stump
#

Anomaly grind is the real monster in SB fr fr

dark ivy
#

Is there a reason why Sunbreak randoms are so bad?

heady goblet
#

They're randoms

dark ivy
#

The randoms in Worldborne were never this consistently bad, at least in my EXP

#

In fact, Worldborne randoms were pretty damn reliable

#

In this game it’s the opposite

heady goblet
#

I actually be having the exact opposite experience

icy stump
#

It's all luck of the draw really

dark ivy
#

Save the date: April 19th

icy stump
#

TU5 is just around the corner

dark ivy
#

I’m gonna have to grind hard to hit my goal by then: Anomaly Level 140

#

Why? To unlock universal Level 8 shelling

#

Current level? 90

#

I’m also still armor locked to some critical skills: namely Intrepid Heart

icy stump
#

Whaddya need for level 8 shelling in terms of afflicted mats

I might be able to help ya cheat it out, I know I can help ya cheat out intrepid heart decos

#

Afflicted chaotic gore research quest go brrrrr

dark ivy
#

I have no idea. I’ll look it up.

#

I can’t find it, but I’m guessing it is whatever tier shell mat unlocks at 140

#

Never mind

#

I need Afflicted Dire Fang+

#

And Afflicted Dire Dragon Blood

icy stump
#

I don't think I can help ya cheat that out cause that's exclusively gotten from anomaly investigations

But dire dark blood is hella easy to cheat out from the chaotic gore research quest

#

Dire fang+ is from furious rajang/scorned magnamalo

dark ivy
#

Wonderful…haha

icy stump
#

Dunno from what lv range tho

#

And doing the quest for Dire darkblood for intrepid heart prolly will drop a chaotic gore investigation for Dire dragon blood at a lower lvl

#

Allegedly there's a chance the new cap is gonna go to 300

dark ivy
#

That’s what I hear

icy stump
#

If it does imma lose my shit

dark ivy
#

It’s really annoying

#

Like, I get it

icy stump
#

They do not have to up the max that high

dark ivy
#

But ultimately I think the Guiding Lands were a better endgame system overall

#

Once they worked out the initial issues

heady goblet
#

The Guiding Lands was sick

icy stump
#

If they set the bar that high there better be some gourmet shit at the end there

dark ivy
icy stump
#

I'm annoyed cause of how limiting the anomaly lv system is

#

They'll let you fight any endgame threat from HR10 onwards, assuming someone else posts

But God forbid you do that for anomaly shit

#

The limitations every 20 levels is so infuriating

#

If they got rid of that, or made grinding it faster I would be fine

dark ivy
#

Yep

#

It’s a lot of artificial gating at the end of the day

icy stump
#

Like doing a quest at your level should give a whole level

#

And with modifiers give like up to 4 given max difficulty curve

#

It's like the problem I had with worlds endgame

Like how is ruiner nergi hard Mr 100 locked, while fatty/alatreon arent?

dark ivy
#

Great question

icy stump
#

The anomaly stuff falls under that general annoyance type

It's also odd, cause A7/A8 research quests (quests explicitly balanced like lvl 181/211 respectively) along side the rest of the endgame quests are just mr 10 locked

#

Those include hazard risens

#

If I'm feeling devious I could throw unsuspecting newbs into a hazard risen elder the second they hit Mr 10

But if they wanna do a lvl 21 great izuchi for afflicted mats to get better gear, all the sudden they're too low lvl

#

Like

Bruh

dark ivy
#

Question: can you still save scum the crafting system or no?

icy stump
#

Like the tailismans?
I don't think so

dark ivy
#

Nah, I’m talking about the Qurious crafting on armor

icy stump
#

Nah it saves when you do it I think

dark ivy
#

Ah, damn. I don’t wanna waste mats rolling on armor I’m probably gonna swap out soon.

dark ivy
#

Almost got Risen Toaster unlocked

icy stump
#

Nice

dark ivy
#

Apparently need that Powder Mantle meta

#

But also finally past Anomaly 100

icy stump
#

I discovered something absolutely stupid about GS

Yknow how placing a bomb->parry->TCS is the "meta"?

Turns out if you throw the bomb up at 60 ish degrees you can run up to where the bomb lands, parry it, then TCS for what is effectively a running TCS

#

It's hard as hell to do

Buy I gotta get good at it

#

It's the perfect blend of efficiency and stupidity

dark ivy
#

That sounds fucking incredible

icy stump
#

Apparently TU5 is coming with weapon valance changes

#

I hope surge slash GS gets buffed at least a bit

dark ivy
#

Risen Teostra is a MF’er

icy stump
#

Indeed he is

icy stump
#

You need any help on Risen toaster still?

dark ivy
#

Actually yes

#

Still gonna be farming him for a bit

#

I was actually experimenting with and trying to research the Qurious system

#

Turns out I misunderstood how to read Augments in terms of loss VS gain

dark ivy
#

…okay yeah, pretty ridiculous on the RNG

#

I was able to get 1 pt. of Guard on my legs, which freed up my Level 2 slot for Embolden, and now I gain an additional Level 4 slot to play with in addition to getting max Kushala Blessing back on the build

#

And this is all so that I can add Powder Mantle Level 2 to my set with minimal to no compromise

icy stump
#

Nice

#

...yeah I got sidetracked sorry

dark ivy
#

All good. I had to eat and take care of some IRL responsibilities.

dark ivy
#

GTFO!!!

#

I just rolled a clean, no penalty +1 Powder Mantle on the Kaiser Chest

#

We in the Level 3 club now baby!

icy stump
#

Awesome

dark ivy
#

whew and now I got Wind Mantle on my Arms for Level 2

#

Qurious Power Creep is real

icy stump
#

Yeah

#

That's prolly all gonna level out somewhat with the new tailisman meldings/decos they're gonna add in tu 5, cause presumably you'll be able to get most skills from anything ya want

#

That way qurio crafting is there more to patch builds up I guess

#

Personally I hope we get a bladescale 4 deco, needing to burn 3 2 slots for that sucks atm

#

Tho I'll prolly have room cause apparently one of the new decos on one of the Twitter update pictures was called inspiration, which was a skill in frontier that gave a team wide evade buff/stun resist

So if that gives evade window and stun resist that'll do wonders for my builds, and it's only a lvl 1 deco, meaning it's basically just a straight upgrade to stun resist

dark ivy
#

Bladescale Hone was my MVP skill in Sunbreak

#

And yeah, it needs some economy like how Embolden means we don’t have to stack Guard so much

#

But yeah, it seems at the end of every Monster Hunter game you get a set of systems and economy that amounts to “Oops! All skills!”

icy stump
#

Man I remeber when athal ka's set was insane in GU for letting you snipe 3~5 specific skills you wanted, cause the two inherent skills it had on the armor was one that doubled the point value from talismans, and the other added +2 to any skill you gemmed on there

#

And the armor had like 3 slots per piece with the exception of two pieces that had 2

#

Granted this was back when you needed 10 points to trigger a skill, so you needed alotta points to get anything

#

Iirc the best thing for that set was to get a tailisman with +4 to two skills, and a three slot, cause the tailisman double thing doubles any skill on there, even ones gemmed into the tailisman, and then adds two, so you'd basically get three skills off the tailisman itself, from there you just kinda try and gem more stuff on there from all the slots you have

#

You could do some fun stuff with that
I remeber making a cursed as hell crit build using chaotic gore weapons, I gemmed in WeX, Crit boost, and bitter affinity (which acts like the brutal rampage gem in rise, which gives a 1/4th chance to turn a negative crit into a 2 times damaging hit) so effectively I'm either always hitting a buffed crit, or a negative crit that has the chance to become a even bigger crit

#

Honestly I hope in tu5 they give us armor skill versions of the rampage skills

I want old chain crit/bitter affinity back as like actual armor skills

dark ivy
#

More or less what I’m doing now actually

#

1 pt. of Bloodlust is all I need, and when triggered with the Chaotic Gore GL it just because a fat Crit Stick.

#

And speaking of old school MH I feel ya with bringing the old into the new

#

With Embolden I feel like I’m re-living the MH4U days of 0 knock back on Guard

icy stump
#

I still think it's hilarious how you need max Guard/artillery/slugger in rise to come even close to old Base 4U Charge blade

#

Hell, max guard doesn't even let you SAED some shit, like Gores explosive chain blasts, you need embolden/ready stance to Saed that

Which is annoying cause thats one of his safest moves to punish if you do have that much guard

#

That's like a trend, all the moves that have ginormous openings also have all the knockback so you can't guardpoint->SAED/UAED

#

Meanwhile 4U is like "lmao, blocked a toaster nuke? Go nuts bud"

dark ivy
#

For real

#

My old knowledge and muscle memory completely screwed me initially in Sunbreak for that very reason haha

#

Was too used to the old openings.

#

And on that same note

#

Risen Teostra is a lot more manageable when he can’t abuse that knock back stun

#

And as much as I love the mobility in Rise with stuff like Reverse Blast Dash

#

I do miss combat being a bit more methodical

#

The arcade speed of these endgame monsters is a bit much

icy stump
#

Risen toaster feels the least changed out of all the risens

He feels like a toaster who just does plus one on all his attacks, if that makes sense

dark ivy
#

I feel that

#

He just hits a lot harder and maybe has a combo extension

#

But he isn’t like Kushala who got a real overhaul

icy stump
#

As for the general game speed I like it moreso now in SB than in Base for one reason

Surge slash GS feels like the perfect evolution to normal GS for a faster game like rise

It's slow, but fast enough to catch monsters out and hit them

dark ivy
#

Risen Kushala is way more fun than the OG

icy stump
#

Honestly

Risen chammy is the hardest one IMO

He gets so much new shit

dark ivy
#

On top of his advanced poison and buff stealing

icy stump
#

Risen kush is prolly my favorite in general, but Risen valstrax is way more fun to explicitly solo

In a team Risen val fucken sucks

dark ivy
#

That’s what I hear

icy stump
dark ivy
#

I hear Risen Valstrax in MP is just a clusterfuck

icy stump
#

That throws you

icy stump
dark ivy
#

My favorite quote about Risen Valstrax:

“When he feels like it, he is gonna use your face as a landing pad.”

icy stump
#

Risen valstrax is fun tho cause he feels more in line with old valstrax

He has less delayed explosive bullshit and more "I'm gonna make you a stain on the ground"

#

Like he is a aggressive MFer

dark ivy
#

Valstrax is the like the MH equivalent of roid rage

#

Cause most late to endgame monsters tend to always be described as “Highly aggressive, so keep up the pressure!”

#

But Valstrax’s form of aggression has a very special quality of persistence to it

icy stump
#

I mean

He's a fucking Rocket dragon

So it makes sense SOLKEKW

dark ivy
#

That’s one thing you gotta say about Valstrax: comes as advertised

icy stump
#

Honestly imo him and nergi are hella similar in terms of having a general beatdown strategy to them

They aren't like other elder dragons who lol about with elemental shenanigans, they're here to crack some heads

dark ivy
#

Very true. I think when you line them all up, the Elder Dragons of Monster Hunter have an impressive slate of designs.

#

But out of them all Nergi really sticks out as unique (pun intended)

#

And I also love Namielle

icy stump
#

Nergi is prolly the best thing to come out of world ngl

dark ivy
#

He is one hell of a flagship

#

Instantly recognizable & highly memorable

#

My favorite Monster from World didn’t make it into Rise/Sunbreak and I’m surprisingly okay with that: Legiana

#

Got no issues trading it for Goss Harag.

Or as I call him, “Boss” Harag.

icy stump
#

Legiana looks neat but I'm kinda eh on it all things considered

#

The only world monster I'm mad that didn't get in was odogaron

Like
He was based on a yokai I'm pretty sure, why wasn't he in the game with all the new yokai baser monsters?!?

#

That and I'd like to see nergi again, but velk is also cool

My GS bias is showing, frost craft go brr

dark ivy
#

You make a great point actually

#

Cause correct me if I’m wrong, but Rise didn’t have a bleed monster did it?

And then Seregios fills the slot in Sunbreak.

#

Plus they had already put Tobi Kadachi in the game, who uses the same skeleton

icy stump
#

And Shogun got bleed

dark ivy
#

Hahaha

I love Shogun Cenataur

icy stump
#

But like

Odo shoulda been in rise

#

Funni crab

#

He's prime CB food

#

And GS

#

And LS

dark ivy
#

And GL

icy stump
#

Nah screw it, I can kick his ass with everything

dark ivy
#

And yet he still can mess a hunting party up

icy stump
#

Prolly

dark ivy
#

…damnit

#

The MH grind and addiction is real

#

Just frustrating that I need another 100 levels for Intrepid Heart

#

I didn’t think I’d have to grind that much

#

Maybe TU5 will boost Anomaly gains a bit

icy stump
#

Ya want intrepid heart decos, cause I can help ya get those

#

Cause the Chaotic gore research quest drops the stuff to make em, while only being MR 10 locked

icy stump
#

One of these days I gotta help ya get those

dark ivy
#

I’ll catch you eventually

#

But yeah, for better and worse, I don’t play that clean and so I need my brain-dead super armor that also deals 300 DMG when I’m close to the monster

#

I love to ask Monsters: “How does it feel to get hit just because I exist?”

icy stump
#

Lol

dark ivy
#

…wait a minute!

#

I forgot that Investigations and Quests are different

#

You think one of those Quests can also get me the mats for Level 8 shelling?

icy stump
#

All the lvl 8 research quests are hazard risens with the exception of the chaotic gore

#

So unless you need risen dragon bone + for that, nah

dark ivy
#

I think it’s Distilled Dragon Blood+ that’s needed

#

But either way, this Hunter would be most grateful for early access to Intrepid Heart decos

icy stump
#

Dragon blood is from a hig lvl daily, other early game blood monsters
Dire dragon blood is from espicynas/chaotic gore/seething bagel

#

Word of warning, the chaotic gore thing is hard as nails

dark ivy
#

Anything notable other than the usual “It’s endgame so F your max DEF stats.” ?

icy stump
#

Uh not particularly I guess

#

With maxed armor/green birbs he can rip off like half my HP in one go

#

Good news, it's in the jungle, so green birbs are easy to max out there

#

He's not like the "hazard" risen elders in that quest tierlist

dark ivy
#

Ah, thanks, I’ll keep my confidence measured then

icy stump
#

The risen elders get new shit in that tier tho

dark ivy
#

Cause I’m pretty comfy fighting all the Magala’s

icy stump
#

And it's fucking terrifying

dark ivy
#

And as a side bonus to my Qurious crafting I got Spiribird’s Call on my armor as a freebie so that makes the health issue easier

#

Oh Christ…

icy stump
#

All their elemental attacks have super amped damage, and they get new moves/add ons to old ones

dark ivy
#

They get even worse?!

icy stump
#

So ironically, risen chammy, is the hardest one arguably, cause his stinky breath damn near kills you before the ultra poison

#

Hope ya grinder risen toasty enough for flamescale decos

Cause you're gonna need that venom negate

dark ivy
#

First thing I crafted before the armor

icy stump
#

Good call

dark ivy
#

And my build has plenty of single slots for build flexibility

#

He’s been a bitch but I eventually got my Risen Teo mats

icy stump
#

That shot makes me miss that one GU HH that negated all debunks for a set duration. Which just entirely negated the threat of stuff like chammy/dreadqueen

dark ivy
#

Thank God I figured out Qurious Crafting though and got lucky

#

Made that fight infinitely easier

#

Everything just feels better with an HH in your party

icy stump
#

Risen toaster is the probably the least interesting risen in terms of what they do

Like he gets one or two new moves and other than that it's just him hitting way harder/doing one more of everything

Two charges instead of one, two dives instead of one, etc

dark ivy
#

After the overhaul that was Risen Kushala he was a disappointing follow-up for that very reason

icy stump
#

Ironically the risens feel like they got less revamp heavy as they went

#

Risen chammy feels entirely different

Cause it's actually a fucken threat now, instead of le derp de derp

#

Then there's risen valstrax, who feels like a return to form for the big guy

#

Cause base CG valstrax feels like they just patched normal valstrax over from GU and just added aoe on his attacks to let him keep up with the rise mobility better, which feels counter intuitive given the design (instead of running you down to the ends of the earth like a ballistic missle, he limits your movement via dragon puff clouds?!?)

#

Whereas risen gets back that unbridled aggression

#

Like, small detail I noticed, in GU he'd do a double rocket tackle

That move didn't come back until his risen fight

#

He still has AOE but it feels alot less like a Setplay thing and more a disjoint thing

Which is alot easier and less annoying to deal with

dark ivy
#

Sounds about right

#

Cause my experience fighting Valstrax was “Where TF do I go?” because of what you outlined regarding the AOE

icy stump
#

Ngl, the aoe delayed explosives bull kinda taints his fight somewhat

#

Thank God risen dials that shit back for more raw aggression

dark ivy
#

I look forward to it

dark ivy
#

Well damn…

Shame on me for neglecting Buddies all this time

icy stump
#

I haven't used buddies for a hot minute

dark ivy
#

I’m shocked. Shocked, I tell you!

#

Apparently tail cuts do still happen in endgame. Haven’t seen one in forever.

dark ivy

Translation:

No Gunlance at launch

#

Mh go lol

dark ivy
#

TU5 Showcase Day

icy stump
#

Make yo predictions now

dark ivy
#

I already showed my Bingo card

icy stump
#

Here's hoping for surge slash buffs

dark ivy
#

I got a feeling everyone is gonna be happy

#

Also, I’ve almost made it to Anomaly Level 120

icy stump
#

AMATSU LOOKS FUCKEN SICK

#

It looks absolutely fucking unhinged

#

He's a actual fucking threat now lets gooo

#

Also wonder what the special investigations reward is gonna be?

#

Seems like everything is getting a hazard version

#

And there's risen shaggy being fought in the forlorn arena

As God intended
Fighting him in a special arena just feels right

#

Also tu6 being a special ultra malzeno sounds fun

#

ALSO IN THE PATCH NOTES SURGE SLASH GOT A DAMAGE BUFF

#

And he'll, gunlance even got some buffs

dark ivy
#

I’m still watching but just came in to say “Fack!” cause Risen Shagaru locked at MR 180

#

So I got 27 MR levels to go

#

But yeah, Amatsu is a damn spectacle

#

In the first 5 sec. of gameplay I said to myself “Oh Jesus Christ…”

#

It’s gonna have some BS

icy stump
dark ivy
#

It only feels right that Shagaru gets the glorious Risen treatment

#

NGL

#

Because I dedicated myself to World / Iceborne, I skipped out on Rise and was cool with that

#

But when Sunbreak announced the return of Gore Magala, he was the game seller for me

#

Well…him and Seregios

icy stump
#

You with a buffed GL and me with Buffed Surge slash GS there ain't no way we can lose

dark ivy
#

Also, Shagaru Magala taught me the concept of Elementless weapons

#

When I learned that it was a big WTF moment

#

I still gotta look at the notes

icy stump
#

Apparently GL got buffed

#

Surge slash gets better Raw and Element motion values on all its attacks now

So it's damage is gonna be exponentially better

#

And rage slash makes you take less damage

dark ivy
#

I thought there was gonna be more overall, but what we are getting seems small yet significant

#

The TL;DR on Gunlance is we know that Wide sucks for various reasons

#

So interesting that A. It’s the only shelling type getting a flat buff

#

And B. The Wyrmstake Cannon buff will probably also increase Erupting Canon’s KO power, which is exclusive to Wide

#

So I think we about to be knockin’ out Monsters like Hammer Bros. between EC + the Hellfire Cloak freebie

icy stump
#

Wide shot getting more buffed makes sense NGL, considering it's been consistently kinda bad

Like it's the only real gun lance that really benefits from charge over blast dash

dark ivy
#

And Charged shelling sucks

#

With Focus 3 doing jack shit for it to boot

icy stump
#

I mean charged shelling really has to compete with the ability to fly on a weapon that's consistently been knocked for it's shit mobility, and said flight let's you go into a slam/full burst, which 2 out of three GL types love to do

dark ivy
#

Correct

#

Meaning you would have to Focus on the S of DPS to help it compete if you’re not gonna flat boost the numbers

#

But they don’t do that

#

And the speedier animation into the Wyrmstake / Erupting Canon doesn’t match those other combos either

icy stump
#

Imagine if charge shots got faster if done in succession

dark ivy
#

Charged shelling worked in Iceborne

icy stump
#

Like 1st is slow, then it gets faster, and it just speeds up as you fired off charge shots

dark ivy
#

That would be a cool stack

icy stump
#

And to make it more balanced for Wide having only 2 shots, their charge shots fires off both shells for waaaaay more damage

Really lean into the sawed off shottie angle wide GL has

#

Not as much as a full burst on normal or long

But in exchange it's just faster, and doesn't need anything before hand like a slam or blast dash

dark ivy
#

Indeed

#

Well hey, if you’re gonna be around later, I think you can give me a last minute power boost before the Update drops

#

Cause if I get to 120, then you can give me access to Level 140 investigations right?

icy stump
#

I'm gonna try to be on later today, dunno when that'll be tho
If I'm lucky I can be on at like 4 est

#

Honestly the best bet would be to do Chaotic gore's afflicted research quest for that intrepid heart deco

dark ivy
#

There is that, but I also need the mats for Level 8 shelling

icy stump
#

What parts do you need for that?

dark ivy
#

Afflicted Dire Fang+
Afflicted Dire Dragon Blood

icy stump
#

Dire dragon blood should be available at your current level if you go bully a afflicted Flaming espinas/seething bagel

As for Dire fang + we might be able to cheese that out with more research quests

#

Yeah we can prolly for the Dire fang plus

icy stump
#

I just realised buff body is coming back

#

Can't wait to walk around looking like a dbz character

dark ivy
#

Hmm

#

Might save more Anomaly grind till the update

#

I just read that they will increase the EXP again from Level 1 - 220

#

And those super endgame monsters are “Just cause ya can. Here’s a Badge.”

#

In a way, I appreciate that considering the constant goalpost moving with Anomalies

#

Plus we got Amatsu to deal with

icy stump
#

And risen shaggy

icy stump
#

It's here

#

The update

icy stump
#

I got the risen bastard
He's a tricky sonnuva bitch

dark ivy
#

I’ll be able to get into the game in about an hour or so

#

Oh shit…

#

Gunlance is lookin’ RAW

#

Our damage buffs are looking more significant than anticipated

icy stump
#

Uh
Check the risen shaggy skill when we kick his ass

#

I have a feeling you might like it

dark ivy
#

It’s gonna play into my favorite playstyle: BB Spam

#

Also, preemptive thank you for the early access

icy stump
#

Np

#

Although idk if I'll be able to play in a hour or so cause I prolly gotta go to sleep

If I don't end up being able to help ya gettem early today I can most certainly do it tomorrow or Friday sometime

dark ivy
#

Bet

#

Definitely gonna be on the Anomaly grind still for a little and with the TU5 EXP boost I imagine I’ll catch up quick

#

I don’t wanna take on the new content without Level 8 shelling
