Monster Hunter

[rose bison]

i dont know if its even possible to make what i want

[heady goblet]

Hopefully not Iceborne

I hate tenderizing

[icy stump]

Also no lazy ass G rank balancing (clutch claw is dumb as shit)

[heady goblet]

Slinger was okay

[icy stump]

ALL MY HOMIES HATE TENDERIZING

[heady goblet]

Fr

[azure fox]

Bloodborne weapon moment

[icy stump]

Trueish

[heady goblet]

I want Switch axe with parries

I love that shit

[rose bison]

i want the immersiveness of world with the good gameplay of rise

[azure fox]

Let me use my hammer as a projectile

[icy stump]

Swag axe go baller

[icy stump]

This guy

This guy gets it

[rose bison]

is that even possible though

[azure fox]

I’ve heard world has better gameplay, or at least harder gameplay

[rose bison]

are those mutually exclusive

[icy stump]

Tho if you put a gun to my head and had to pick one or the other, gimmie the more fun gameplay loop

[heady goblet]

I definitely like Rise's gameplay more

[rose bison]

i like rise a lot more

[azure fox]

I’ve heard like

[rose bison]

i like learning about the world of world (ha) more but i like actually playing rise more

[heady goblet]

But the overall endgame of Sunbreak is definitely more tedious

[azure fox]

Rise doesn’t punish you much for getting hit n shit as much as world does

[icy stump]

World is piss easy until MR

Then it's piss easy, but takes way longer to do unless you try and wrangle with a fundamentally flawed system (clutch claw)

[azure fox]

I haven’t had any problems with the clutch claw so far

[icy stump]

Are you in MR yet?

[azure fox]

No

[icy stump]

Cause once you hit MR all the hitzones un tenderized become way worse and you basically need to use it to get decent kill times

Cause they also wicked bloat the HP values

[azure fox]

Is tenderizing that shit with where you grab on then attack

[icy stump]

Yes

[azure fox]

And they get all like

Cum splooged looking

[icy stump]

It's that exactly, would've used a different descriptor, but sure

[azure fox]

I’ve been using that a lot

Bc like

Holy hell I can’t get in with hammer atm lol

[icy stump]

Yeah get used to it

Cause if you don't G rank is a slog

[azure fox]

Like whats that red Dino in the beginning

Forgot his name

One of the roadblocks early on

(I’ve been told)

[icy stump]

Clutch claws usefulness is wildly different per weapon

Hammer uses it well at least

Anjanath

[azure fox]

Yeah

[icy stump]

Aka budget glavenus

[azure fox]

I had to fucking claw that mf a bunch

Because he did NOT like me

[icy stump]

Hitting brute wyvern heads is a pain

[heady goblet]

Anjanath is just really annoying

[icy stump]

With hammer*

[heady goblet]

Especially with stubbier weapons

[azure fox]

Yknow I expected hammer to have a bit more range

Since

Yknow

Big ass hammer

Still fine with it tho

[rose bison]

aka REALLY AWESOME

[azure fox]

Oh yeah lemme share some clips

[rose bison]

anjanath is genuinely one of my favorite monsters just for the surprise when he is not just a normal dinosaur

[azure fox]

We got a bunch of turf wars while playing

[heady goblet]

I found out the origins for the Fated Four were in Frontier

[azure fox]

The fated four?

That include the legendary monsters

Like white n crimson fatalis n shit?

[icy stump]

I'm sorry, but I like my t-rexes with sword tails

[heady goblet]

Abiorugu which is like the progenitor of Glavenus sword tail

[rose bison]

glavenus is really cool too

[azure fox]

Speaking of which

[heady goblet]

Berukyurosu being a lightning chicken

[rose bison]

nah the fated four is different

glavenus, astalos, gammoth, mizutsune

[azure fox]

Y’all think these two are coming back in wilds?

[icy stump]

Maybe?

[azure fox]

I know worlds had fatalis as the final addition in world

[rose bison]

i thought the name was just for the deviants tho

[heady goblet]

There is a giant whale I forget the name of that's pretty similar to Gammoth

[azure fox]

But a lot of people want these two back

[heady goblet]

And a bunch of Leviathans that probably inspired Mizu

[azure fox]

(Me included, I want to fight god)

[rose bison]

i want the fated four back

[heady goblet]

We get like 1-2 a game but Gammoth definitely should've been in Iceborne

[rose bison]

i want ALL OF THEM

[heady goblet]

Maybe they'll return with Wilds

[rose bison]

if wilds is open world i could see it having a breath of the wild type approach with "kill these 4 big monsters in each area"

[icy stump]

They're the fated four cause they technically are all the flagships for base gen

[heady goblet]

I think Frontier had a lot of really cool Monsters I'd like to see return

[rose bison]

and maybe the fated four could be like minibosses in each area

[icy stump]

I want gammoth back, glavvy got to comeback for world and mizu/astalos got to come to rise, I need gamammoth justice

[heady goblet]

I want even more of Frontier to return

[rose bison]

all the fated four were in monster hunter stories 2 at least

[icy stump]

Espinas imo should be a mainstay at this point

[rose bison]

mhst2 is so cool i love that game

[azure fox]

Fuck it. Add every single monster to wilds

[rose bison]

i still need to finish getting all the achievements

[rose bison]

MONSTER HUNTER ULTIMATE

EVERYONE IS HERE

[azure fox]

[icy stump]

GU2 be like:

Cause that's what GU basically was

Pre world

[rose bison]

well like

that is what it was

it literally has ultimate in the name

its monster hunter generations ultimate

[azure fox]

https://medal.tv/games/mh-world/clips/1NmELtRGQMaBsK/d1337EtxcTBG?invite=cr-MSxoU2osMTI4MDE4MDks

[icy stump]

You can pretty much count on your two hands the monsters that didn't get into GU

[azure fox]

Only my voice is heard, his thing was muted on medal

https://medal.tv/games/mh-world/clips/1NmnLmoVPHDweh/d1337oOPTuIz?invite=cr-MSxUdTUsMTI4MDE4MDks

https://medal.tv/games/mh-world/clips/1NlBBJ-i0l2I0o/d1337sU7KvUG?invite=cr-MSxDYkcsMTI4MDE4MDks

[rose bison]

TURF WARS ARE SUCH AN AWESOME MECHANIC

[azure fox]

We also had a barreth fight the mud fish mf but he didn’t save that one

I got beef with rathalos

HE KILLED PATITO

[rose bison]

i love turf wars

[heady goblet]

Ultimate was basically just the G Rank update though

I mean like

The denotation for those updates

[knotty ledge]

@night ledge I need to do that sonic quest more so I can get the tails/sonic drip for my palico and palamute

[wide oyster]

lol

[knotty ledge]

I didn’t realize you could have a mini sonic! Wtf it’s hilarious 😆

[wide oyster]

they make spindash noises when running around

[knotty ledge]

No way

God, that’s amazing

[knotty ledge]

Great Sword

[heady goblet]

The best weapon fr fr

[knotty ledge]

I’m loving Sunbreak GS so much rn

And the new skill swap feature is so nice, I can switch between my quick DPS and my BIG FUCKING DAMAGE TCS

[heady goblet]

Strong arm is such a fucking crazy addition to Great Sword

[knotty ledge]

Is that the counter? I haven’t gotten it yet but it looks so good

[heady goblet]

Yeah

[knotty ledge]

Man that seems busted lmao

[heady goblet]

Speaking of counters, this shit is so satisfying

[dire bison]

i just saw a video like this

[knotty ledge]

[dire bison]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xe7VopP2pr0

[heady goblet]

Giving Switch Axe a counter was so funky, but at the same time a stroke of genius

[heady goblet]

Oh, Team Darkside...

[dire bison]

whats that mean

did they have a controversy

[heady goblet]

Team Darkside spreads a lot of misinformation about Monster Hunter games, and the also mod their damage/stun values to have "cleaner" runs other runners can't get

[dire bison]

ah

[knotty ledge]

Damn, they’re like 1/4 MH YouTubers I watch

[heady goblet]

There is only like one good MH YouTuber

And that's Herny

[knotty ledge]

I’ve only ever watched Gaijin + Rurikhan + Arekkz MH videos, they have some good guides

[dire bison]

i liked jocat meme guides

[knotty ledge]

I’ll check out Herny

[heady goblet]

Herny is the GOAT

He hasn't uploaded in a while

But his content is great, and really informative

[knotty ledge]

[rose bison]

oceaniz

[heady goblet]

That's fair, I think their content is definitely high quality, it's just not the type of MH content I'm interested in

[rose bison]

definitely the type im interested in

i love the ecology documentaries

[knotty ledge]

Playing more MHR, mix of MR and HR quests 🦐

[night ledge]

omg

its him

john bloodborne

[dire bison]

i love john bloodborne

[knotty ledge]

I just unlocked this and thought the exact same thing lmao

Just gotta turn it black and you are now John Bloodborne

[night ledge]

i wish it was a layered option

[wide oyster]

it is

once you beat sunbreak (reach MR6)

[night ledge]

so long

[wide oyster]

you also get layered weapons

at mr10

[rose bison]

i bought the plushie weapons

im sporting a diablos hammer

[knotty ledge]

Let me know if you’re going to be on today! I’m at MR3 rn I think

[night ledge]

im on rn!

[knotty ledge]

I didn’t see this

Invite me

[night ledge]

pw is 0192. join when youre ready!

[knotty ledge]

[knotty ledge]

Hmm I’ve been trying to join but I keep getting an error 😭

Can you send a lobby invite?

[night ledge]

sent again

[knotty ledge]

It’s not working 😭

I’ll have to ask Seri what he did different

I joined his so fast!

Created one just in case: 1256

[night ledge]

who crystal?

[heady goblet]

So true

[knotty ledge]

Wtf is this monster 😭

[knotty ledge]

Some randoms

[night ledge]

blender is in the server tho

[knotty ledge]

So is blender crystal?

[night ledge]

no

blender is blender

[knotty ledge]

Ahh I misunderstood

Also we’re both the same MR

So pick whatever quest

😭

😭

We won’t talk about that last one

One shotted 😭

Carry us Seth

Seri!

Why did that auto correct 😂

@night ledge I’m going to upgrade my armor, gimme a sec

[knotty ledge]

😭

We get new skills at M4 right? 😳

[wide oyster]

midway through it

[knotty ledge]

I need that GS counter in my life

Zyx 💀 the one carve 😞

[night ledge]

got an orb

[wide oyster]

ggs, thanks for the hunts

was fun

[knotty ledge]

Thanks for helping us out !

[night ledge]

💀

[knotty ledge]

What ?

[night ledge]

amuldron

[knotty ledge]

Did you want to kill it?

[night ledge]

no i just hate that fight

[knotty ledge]

It’s really annoying lol

@night ledge did you send a join request

[night ledge]

i did not

[knotty ledge]

Do you want to

So that it’s a bit easier !

[night ledge]

i did

[knotty ledge]

Thanks 🙏

[knotty ledge]

Absolutely obliterated the mizu

My internet 😭

Guess that was the last one for me then, thanks for the hunts y’all!

[heady goblet]

Gangplank and I got absolutely thrashed by Gore today, but here are some highlights from the session regardless

[rose bison]

the health is so insanely long in frontier

[golden aurora]

you still getting two shotted 😔

[dire bison]

did the older mh have different mon sizes like in world?

[heady goblet]

Yes

[knotty ledge]

This YouTuber is amazing

[rose bison]

for real

[knotty ledge]

Great stuff, didn’t realize I needed to see this kinda content

I should play generations ultimate

I think I’d like it a lot more than world

[rose bison]

the monster hunter world ecology documentary is one of my favorite videos of all time

[knotty ledge]

👀

[rose bison]

5 hours of pure infodump about monsters and how they work

theres one for rise as well but i havent finished it yet

i probably should now cause i dont care about spoilers as much

[knotty ledge]

Spoilers for Sunbreak?

[rose bison]

yeah

[knotty ledge]

Can’t you just watch up until it pops up and then dip? 😳

also play Sunbreak, it’s peak

[rose bison]

which is what i did

ive beaten it yeah

[knotty ledge]

[rose bison]

postgame stuff is what i dont want spoilers for

well what i didnt want spoilers for

i dont care as much anymore now

[knotty ledge]

Ahh ok

I don’t really mind spoilers in this game

[rose bison]

its just a few monsters anyways

[knotty ledge]

I’m mostly here for the gameplay

[rose bison]

like scorned magnamalo

didnt wanna see the gameplay differences, which are actually kinda shown

[knotty ledge]

Idk what that means but I’m glad he gets a new form 👀

[rose bison]

you'll see

he's cool

[knotty ledge]

I’ve seen one of the monsters can become ||invisible|| now so that’s sick

Looking forward to fighting it

[rose bison]

lucent nargacuga yeah

i fought that im pretty sure

yeah i think i did

really cool fight if i did fight it lol

[knotty ledge]

Did mizu get anything new? Besides Gasoline 👀

[rose bison]

im assuming violet mizu is gasoline

and im pretty sure thats the only new mizu variant

[knotty ledge]

[rose bison]

amatsu is basically flying mizu with lightning and air instead of bubbles

[knotty ledge]

[heady goblet]

Add fire and you get Shantien

[heady goblet]

So I just found out Shantien has 8 different tracks in their fight

[dire bison]

watching people play world with a mouse and keyboard is making me motion sick

[heady goblet]

Fair

[knotty ledge]

So the switch has this feature that lets you record the last 30 seconds of gameplay, is there a similar thing for PC?

I want to record my funnies

[heady goblet]

Nvidia shadow play

[knotty ledge]

How does it work?

[heady goblet]

There's this insights moment capture

[heady goblet]

You got an Nvidia graphics card?

[knotty ledge]

I think so

[heady goblet]

Well then you hit Alt+Z to open the menu, configure it for how long you want it to record for, get it started, and whenever you hit Alt+f10 you get a recording of the past however long it was set for

[knotty ledge]

That’s perfect!

Thanks!

[heady goblet]

No problem

[rose bison]

thats actually really good to know

i use the windows game bar thing or something like that and its not that great

a lot of the time the "last 30 seconds" replay thing doesnt even work

[heady goblet]

Insights clipping software is also pretty decent

If you don't have an Nvidia card

[rose bison]

i do have an nvidia card and this does work

[heady goblet]

Cool

[rose bison]

set it to last 45 seconds cause the default 5 minutes is really long

[heady goblet]

Yeah

That's what I set it to as well

Just long enough for cool stuff, just short enough to not be a pain to crop

[knotty ledge]

[rose bison]

itll be nice when i wanna record strive combos in the heat of battle

[topaz quartz]

Do you recommend GU guys?
I want to play a Monster Hunter that isn't Sea World or Rise

[rose bison]

or well just moments in the heat of battle

[heady goblet]

Yeah, GU is fantastic

[topaz quartz]

Sorry for interrupting 🪿

The only thing that sets me back is that I won't have anyone to play with, the people I know are old school tryhards in freedom unite

In fact, if I don't hunt fatalis, they don't even want to play

[heady goblet]

[topaz quartz]

In Yuzu it works fine, right?

[heady goblet]

Should

[topaz quartz]

https://tenor.com/view/sol-badguy-guilty-gear-guilty-gear-strive-thumbs-up-thumb-gif-25897601

[knotty ledge]

They gave savage axe a Roman cancel point

Wilds better keep it!

[heady goblet]

You mean the guard point on the spin up?

[knotty ledge]

Ready stance!

[heady goblet]

Ah

[knotty ledge]

The fucking recovery is so long after the two hitting spinning axe move

And then Ready Stance just lets you skip it

It’s so cool, also it’s a guard point that doesn’t take you out of axe mode

[heady goblet]

[knotty ledge]

[knotty ledge]

Would y’all play the same weapons in the newer titles if you decided to go back to older games?

[heady goblet]

Yeah

[knotty ledge]

I feel like it’s mess with muscle memory/not feel great if you’re used to all the new stuff(?)

[knotty ledge]

How do you do it do you not mind the downgrades or do you not play more than 1 title at a time

[heady goblet]

Nah, I've played 3 titles at once, they were all just different enough for me not to get jumbled, and Greatsword is generally just pretty similar between games

You position well

You get big damage

[knotty ledge]

Oh damn, I don’t think I have it in me to go back to charge blade but I’ll try GS

And I’ll learn SnS in GU as my main for the time being

[heady goblet]

[knotty ledge]

Oh no, I forgot about how drinking potions work in the older games

[heady goblet]

Gotta hit the flex

[knotty ledge]

I’m going to get destroyed or come out godlike

[knotty ledge]

I will simply never get hit anymore 😭

[heady goblet]

You just gotta know how to heal at the right times

[knotty ledge]

😞

My tactics of doing something incredibly stupid and just wirebugging away to heal are no longer possible

But I’ll become a better hunter this way 😤

[heady goblet]

Indeed

Now you gotta Valor your way out

[knotty ledge]

I’m on striker!

[heady goblet]

[knotty ledge]

I heard SnS striker was the wave

I don’t really get what valor is but I heard valor HBG is sick 😳

[heady goblet]

Valor HBG is one of the best weapons in the series

It's on par with some of the extreme weapons from Frontier

[knotty ledge]

Maybe I’ll pick up HBG then 👀

[heady goblet]

I would recommend against it

Unless you are okay constantly needing to gather ammo materials

[knotty ledge]

Nah 💀

Maybe end game when I already have a ton of materials

Any other cool weapon/style combos?

[heady goblet]

Valor Swaxe, Valor Greatsword, Striker Lance, Adept Light Bowgun

Guild Lance is also really good

I hear Valor Charge Blade is similar to savage axe Charge Blade

[knotty ledge]

👀

Wait I should totally play Lance in this game 😳

[heady goblet]

It's fun

[knotty ledge]

My in game title is literally Lance is blue, it wouldn’t make sense not to play it 😭

[rose bison]

part of the reason im not playing world very often is because hammer feels so much worse to use

it sucks

[knotty ledge]

Simply play a completely different weapon 😳

[rose bison]

BUT HAMMER IS MY WHOLE PERSONALITY

[knotty ledge]

GS gives similar feeling to hammer

[heady goblet]

They're pretty different

[knotty ledge]

Major difference is that it’s way more fun

[heady goblet]

GS is more about finding the right spot and obliterating everything from it

[knotty ledge]

Yeah no weapons play the same, but they give you a similar feeling imo

When it comes to big hits 😳

[heady goblet]

Hammer is more about timing the right attacks

[rose bison]

nah

hammer is about relentlessly bashing a monsters head in with little regard for safety

(its about finding small openings to get a charge attack in, until you get stun and can get a BIG charge attack)

[knotty ledge]

Yeah idk I’d pick GS if I were you

I have a similar gameplan, finding a good spot to get a nice hit it and when I knock it down I do the big charge attack

[heady goblet]

Valor Hammer is alright

[rose bison]

i dont really like GS

in rise anyways

[knotty ledge]

[rose bison]

and rise is the game with the best mobility

i also like swaxe and charge blade, maybe ill try those in world at some point

[heady goblet]

Dog gaming

[knotty ledge]

Charge blade my beloved

[rose bison]

CB is just really fun

[knotty ledge]

Can you guess which GG character I like the most based off being a charge blade player

[rose bison]

nope

none of the characters have a charge blade

[knotty ledge]

Anji! We love guard points

[rose bison]

oh

charge blade has guard points?

[heady goblet]

Yes

[rose bison]

i forgot about that

[knotty ledge]

Yeah!

[rose bison]

i never really utilized that

[knotty ledge]

That’s one of the best parts of it!

[knotty ledge]

Omg it’s so fun

Countering roars with an AED or SAED

[rose bison]

with charge blade i pretty much entirely focus on getting my flasks up, getting a knockdown, then getting beeg attack

[knotty ledge]

Doing a string into a guardpoint right as the monster is about to attack

[heady goblet]

They're very good, especially with offensive guard

[knotty ledge]

Yeah the main goal of Sword and Shield mode is to get phials up and then charge your shield. Then go for axe mode/the big attack!

[rose bison]

yeah and of course i use chainsaw axe

because its really funny

[knotty ledge]

Rise has 2 main ways to play charge blade which is counter into SAED spam or savage axe

[knotty ledge]

Chainsaw axe enjoyer 🧎‍♂️

[rose bison]

of course i also play swaxe

[knotty ledge]

I’ve been using it a ton, was mainly playing a counter style but the new switch skills have made me a believer

[rose bison]

which is a lot less thought intensive

[knotty ledge]

I feel like charge blade isn’t as technical as people make it out to be 😭

The initial learning curve takes some getting used to and then you’re cooking 🧑‍🍳

[rose bison]

im thinking a lot when im using it cause i gotta pay attention to my meters

[heady goblet]

It's just an execution barrier, and you know how people get about those

[rose bison]

i pretty much only care about my flasks

and like not dying

thats all im thinking about

swaxe, i have a meter, but i just dont care about it

[knotty ledge]

Yeah…

[rose bison]

i spam attacks until i win

and it has a wirebug skill that i really like

[knotty ledge]

Getting them is a lot easier now. If you didn’t know you can hold the buzzsaw axe input and it can charge a phial. Also Counter Peak a performance gives you all your phials after blocking an attack!

So you can stay in axe mode a lot easier now

[rose bison]

didnt know holding chainsaw gave you a flask

i figured it just made it do more damage

but yeah isnt that kind the whole purpose of counter peak performance

[knotty ledge]

Yep! You can tell it worked if the buzzsaw slowly goes through the monster instead of just cutting them once if you didn’t hold it

[rose bison]

you counter and it gives you full flasks

[knotty ledge]

Yeah that’s what I use it for

You can also immediately cancel into S/AED after blocking something

[rose bison]

why would i ever not hold it

i wanna see those satisfying multihits

[knotty ledge]

Same

Air dash is also so sick when you hold it

You literally slowly cut the monster up vertically before shooting them omg

[rose bison]

air dash? i dont remember an air dash

[knotty ledge]

It’s the move where you move forward and then swipe up with your chainsaw ⬆️

Before unloading your phials in their face and “air dashing” back

[rose bison]

i do not know the move

[knotty ledge]

One of the new silkbind moves you get in MR4

[rose bison]

thats the thing about charge blade that makes it complex imo, theres just so many moves that im learning about new ones

oh

i dont think ive used charge blade since MR4

so that makes sense actually

ive been an ONLY hammer boi for a while now

[knotty ledge]

MR4 charge blade actually works better for you! If you like the spinning buzzsaw you simply can’t play it until you get the new switch skills!

Ready stance makes it so much more fun (and safe) to be in axe mode

[rose bison]

oh yeah i know ready stance

[knotty ledge]

🧎‍♂️

I love ready stance

[rose bison]

my friend is a CB main

[knotty ledge]

They’re cultured 😳

[knotty ledge]

Do you play on switch or pc btw?

[rose bison]

both

ive beaten sunbreak on switch and ive barely done anything on pc

[knotty ledge]

Oh cool, if you’re ever on PC you should hit me up

Nice nice, I’m in the process of beating it on PC

[rose bison]

i got switch first when it came out and got pc like a year ago

just to play with people on pc

[knotty ledge]

Same! Except for the pc part, I got it a week or so ago (and put a ridiculous amount of time in it already…)

[rose bison]

yeah i havent been able to play it much

[knotty ledge]

I got it on PC mainly to play it with Seri 😎 and all the other pc gamers here

[rose bison]

i have a hard time going through the beginning again

not having all my stuff for my weapons

[knotty ledge]

Understandable, they did add HR equipment that makes going through the early stuff a breeze tho!

[rose bison]

but thats LAME

[heady goblet]

Fr

[knotty ledge]

It’s lame if it’s your first time not your second!

[rose bison]

its lame both times imo

id rather not breeze through it and get the authentic experience again

cause it is fun

its just a decent amount of time

thhat i dont want to spend

[knotty ledge]

Nice, I personally already experienced it and don’t want to spend that time on the early game again

[night ledge]

FU gunlance carries

[rose bison]

i didnt experience it right personally

[knotty ledge]

? How so

[rose bison]

the combat didnt click with me until sunbreak

[knotty ledge]

Ahh ok

[rose bison]

i was just blundering my way through everything

so its nice to have a do-over

[heady goblet]

Sunbreak really took already good combat and made it peak

[knotty ledge]

True!!!

[knotty ledge]

Can’t relate, I was godlike 2 years ago speedrunning everything

I’m nowhere near those times anymore tho 😭

[rose bison]

i didnt even like rise until sunbreak lol

[night ledge]

I will need help with malzeno

[knotty ledge]

Daaamn I was addicted to rise, improved so much since world imo

[rose bison]

i was playing it cause the monsters were cool and just stuck with it

[knotty ledge]

What MR is malzeno? 7?

[night ledge]

5ish

[heady goblet]

Just like me fr

[rose bison]

one of those games where i just love certain aspects but dont like the actual gameplay

no longwr

i now love the gameplay too

[knotty ledge]

I used to hunt everything in 2 minutes! Now I can’t get below 6 solo 😭

[heady goblet]

I typically manage sub 5 solo, but I just attribute that to bow being cracked

[knotty ledge]

Bow was the 3 min range for me, godlike weapon

[heady goblet]

Fr fr

[knotty ledge]

My favorite was pierce bow on Mizu

[rose bison]

i dont think any monsters have taken less than 10 minutes for me

[heady goblet]

I prefer spread bow

[rose bison]

even after realizing the combat is good

[heady goblet]

Pierce is just too boring

[knotty ledge]

Can’t relate, I adore pierce

[knotty ledge]

Sorry forgot to respond, I haven’t done my MR4 urgent yet so I can’t help out until then… 😭

It’s the green flying dragon

I forget it’s name

[heady goblet]

It's really just a playstyle difference

[rose bison]

espinas

[knotty ledge]

Probably!

[rose bison]

it doesnt fly but probably espinas

OH

ASTALOS MAYBE

my favorite monster

[knotty ledge]

Wait yes definitely Astalos!

They name is very familiar

[knotty ledge]

👀

[rose bison]

lightning bug dragon

[heady goblet]

I really enjoy shit like Adrenaline, and dodging through attacks makes me feel good, so I really like Spread bow

[rose bison]

he's so cool

[heady goblet]

Espinas can fly

[rose bison]

they dont like doing it often

its like diablos or barioth

wait

not barioth he flies more

[heady goblet]

I mean, Espinas is like the final form of Diablos I guess

[rose bison]

tigrex

no

i cant remember what monster this was

there was another one that had wings but hardly ever flew and i cant remember which one it was

[heady goblet]

Extremely tough hide, covered in poisonous spikes, paralyzing fire balls, and generally very threatening

[rose bison]

charges

he charges

like diablos kinda

[heady goblet]

Sounds like Tigrex ngl

[rose bison]

no im talking about espinas

[heady goblet]

Could be Narga

[rose bison]

i dont know anything about the monster im talking about

it could be anyone with wings that doesnt use them

[wide oyster]

I believe in you!

Malzeno is a pretty fun fight for LS

[heady goblet]

Don't you watch the ecology youtubers

[wide oyster]

once you learn his tells

[rose bison]

like basarios

[rose bison]

yeah thats how i know about this

whoever this monster is, they used wings in the old gen and dont in rise

[heady goblet]

White Espinas would've been such a crazy addition to Rise

[rose bison]

but it was pretty rare even in old gen

[heady goblet]

Tigrex, Barioth, Nargacuga, I know I have seen Espinas fly in Rise so I don't think that one can be counted

[rose bison]

maybe im only thinking of diablos and there wasnt a second monster

[rose bison]

yeah those are some of the options i was thinking of

basarios is also one

[heady goblet]

Diablos used to fly in one really extremely rare instance I think

[rose bison]

yeah thats one of them

but iirc there was two examples

that video was really interesting it was about like the taxonomy or whatever

[heady goblet]

Akantor and Ukanlos are flying wyverns

[rose bison]

it explained why everything is called wyvern despite not all monsters being wyverns

and the difference between flying wyverns and foot wyverns

though there isnt a true foot wyvern in the game

[dire bison]

ive been out of the loop for a while in world, havnt played it since the first month it came out pretty much...but wtf am i looking at

[wide oyster]

the steamworks

it's a feature added in Iceborne

it's basically a gacha

that gives you free stuff

[rose bison]

gacha.... free...... something doesnt make sense here

[heady goblet]

You just hold R2/Spacebar and it does it automatically

[wide oyster]

the currency is free

and it's completely rng

[heady goblet]

You gotta pay coal you mine

[wide oyster]

until the cats appear

[rose bison]

yeah i figured im just making anoke

a joke

[wide oyster]

maybe the next mh game will have a true gacha

that's definitely what the series needs

for sure

[heady goblet]

Just like Frontier fr

[rose bison]

mh now is gonna get gacha

[wide oyster]

roll the gacha to get new weapons

and armor

[heady goblet]

Frontier had gacha

[wide oyster]

use monster currency to pay

that'd genuinely ruin the game

[rose bison]

i feel like its not too unlikely to get gacha in mh now

[heady goblet]

Crazy that you literally just described it Seri

[wide oyster]

lol

is that really how it is

in Frontier?

[heady goblet]

Yeah

[knotty ledge]

Ahh yes. A XC2 scenario

[knotty ledge]

*fix

[icy stump]

So that's why wilds has the dating Sim tag on steam rn

[knotty ledge]

💀

[knotty ledge]

Seregios 😔

[heady goblet]

Steve

[knotty ledge]

Do people call him that 😭

[heady goblet]

Yes

He's Steve the pinecone

[knotty ledge]

This pinecone got hands

[heady goblet]

Yes

Indeed

[rose bison]

somebody sent this image in a server im in and i was like "YO THATS LITERALLY STEVE"

[heady goblet]

It is Steve holy shit

[rose bison]

like it really is part of his threat display

[heady goblet]

What the fuck is bro talking about?

[icy stump]

I'd hope they'd try when making the new game

[heady goblet]

I think they're trying to say that they didn't try with Rise/Sunbreak?

[icy stump]

Nah I'm just saying I'd hope they'd try with every entry like they did with risebreak

[rose bison]

ARE THEY ACTUALLY TRYING TO MAKE A GOOD GAME????

NO WAY???????

[icy stump]

Madness

Insanity even

[wide oyster]

no

they're trying to make a bad game

they should introduce a gacha and paid microtransactions

[icy stump]

They're putting the clutch claw back in

[wide oyster]

that too

[icy stump]

And making the hp scaling worse

[heady goblet]

[wide oyster]

make it so that bosses are always scaled for 4 players

[dire bison]

nope, new mon hun is going to use monster created by AI with an AI narrator and to play it you have to create your own AI to play the game for you

[wide oyster]

no matter what

mhwilds is also going to add a durability mechanic to weapons and armor

so they break after enough usage

[heady goblet]

[wide oyster]

dropping sharpness levels on your weapon speeds the rate at which they decay

[dire bison]

mon hun but you can only skin what you can carry on your mount like in red dead 2 cuz people want immersion

[icy stump]

They bring back styles. But you have to pay for each individually, and the latter dlc ones get better and better

• for each weapon class too

[wide oyster]

they should also lock switch skills behind paid transactions as well

even better

lock key weapon moves

behind it

no foresight slash

unless you pay 5 dollars

[icy stump]

Tbh if they had valor GS as a paid dlc thing I'd buy it

Would I lose respect for the team?
Yes, immensely

But I'd buy that shit instantly

[rose bison]

i'd be down

would be cool to have a reason to switch weapons

if you could repair them after they break that could be pretty cool

[knotty ledge]

https://youtu.be/fChTbXixEVw?si=SYqpUtsQG070NVig

Wtf

Bought it instantly sheeshus

[knotty ledge]

That moment when you were supposed to capture a monster but ended up killing it 😔

[heady goblet]

[knotty ledge]

“As sure as shurikens”

Never change Utsushi

[dire bison]

i cant believe there are a group of great sword users out there that dont use tackle

[icy stump]

If I could I would trade that for the old dash strike from GU tbh

IM that guy

[dire bison]

the heck is that

[icy stump]

In MHGu for GS's valor style you got the ability to dash foward mid charge when you swing with the same input as tackle

It's so fucken fun

Having the ability to whiff punish stuff way more effectively is really fun as hell

[dire bison]

what was the mon hun where you got like a box and you could shake it for like random battle stuff

[icy stump]

Gu

Alchemy

[dire bison]

thats what i did

[icy stump]

That style was Underrated as Fuck

It was so fucken good tho

[knotty ledge]

Is there a lock on feature in GU

Also SnS is not the move at all 😭 swaxe time I guess

[heady goblet]

Press in the right stick, and then use the left bumper

[heady goblet]

R combo time baybee

[icy stump]

There's a target camera that focuses the camera on the monster whenever you hit the l button

Valor SnS is really fun with all the flippy dippy bullshit it has

[wide oyster]

[rose bison]

mhst 2 is the best monster hunter game imo

[knotty ledge]

Why on God’s green earth did they think removing prowler mode from future series was a good idea 😭

[heady goblet]

Because it wasn't popular, probably

[knotty ledge]

Btw can you play the entire game in prowler mode??

[knotty ledge]

😭🥲

[heady goblet]

Technically

You will be stuck to

Mid High rank hunter damage

[knotty ledge]

Buff the cats 😔

[heady goblet]

Anyone want to do some hunts?

[knotty ledge]

What game

[heady goblet]

Rise, World, or Frontier

[knotty ledge]

I’m on rise pc rn

[heady goblet]

I'm down, want to VC?

[knotty ledge]

No thanks, I’m not really a VC kinda person 🙂

[heady goblet]

Alright

[knotty ledge]

Sorry!

[heady goblet]

It's cool

What's your friend code on steam?

[knotty ledge]

Already got you on steam! I’m the red headed girl pfp named NSC

[heady goblet]

Yeah, I figured, I just forgot we had already added each other

[knotty ledge]

I want to fight the ice wolf! Is that alright?

Oh and let me know if you want to fight anything specific!

[heady goblet]

I am good on everything so we can do whatever you want

[wide oyster]

[knotty ledge]

Of course, 999 on everything 😎

[knotty ledge]

🧎‍♂️

@heady goblet not gonna eat?

[heady goblet]

I am just doing something real quick

[knotty ledge]

Ok I’ll wait~

[heady goblet]

I thought it would be done quicker ngl

[knotty ledge]

No worries, take your time~

[heady goblet]

I lagged out because I was exporting a video

[knotty ledge]

Damn

Do I send the invite again then?

[heady goblet]

I'll be back in, in like 5 minutes tops, but I'll take that invite

[knotty ledge]

[heady goblet]

It is a 15 second clip, it should not be taking this long to export

[knotty ledge]

Is it a mon hun clip 👀

[heady goblet]

Yes

From the snow wolf fight

[knotty ledge]

👀

I will be in the background whiffing a SAED 😎

[heady goblet]

It's just a music sync clip lol, but that might've happened I dunno

Apparently my frontier set builder eats RAM like a motherfucker

[knotty ledge]

Gah damn 🧎‍♂️🧎‍♂️🧎‍♂️

I want to play GS like that 🥹

also lol I’m getting smoked in the background 😂

[heady goblet]

[knotty ledge]

😎

[rose bison]

if you look at just this part it looks pretty funny

[knotty ledge]

Wtf 😭

Why does it apply every status ailment with one fireball 😭😭😭

[heady goblet]

That's just how it works

[knotty ledge]

The charge attack kept one shotting me too

[knotty ledge]

Cheap!

But it’s pretty cool too

[heady goblet]

It's from Frontier

[knotty ledge]

👀

Is that the game you’re always posting clips of?

[heady goblet]

Yes

[knotty ledge]

Nice!

I’m getting carried by these high ranked players 😌

[heady goblet]

I press the buttons good

[knotty ledge]

🧎‍♂️🧎‍♂️🧎‍♂️

[heady goblet]

Not letting me join

Go without me

[knotty ledge]

Ok 🥲

[heady goblet]

Zak, I'm gonna get on Frontier, do you want the download to play together?

[knotty ledge]

thanks for the hunts!!

You were a huge help

[knotty ledge]

I don’t own frontier

[heady goblet]

You can only get the download off of Google drive since it's not officialy supported anymore

[knotty ledge]

Good to know! Alas, I’m already busy with Sunbreak and GU, some day for sure!

[heady goblet]

[night ledge]

any monster hunters?

[knotty ledge]

[night ledge]

is that a yes?

[knotty ledge]

Yep!

[knotty ledge]

We got this!

[night ledge]

hitboxes

[knotty ledge]

We got a lot closer that time!

[knotty ledge]

How long are you going to be playing for

[night ledge]

a bit

[knotty ledge]

Ahh damn, I’m gonna go eat so this will be it until tomorrow or whenever you’re on again!

[night ledge]

ok ok eat well!

[knotty ledge]

If I disband room after y’all leave for the quest will it do anything funky or will it be fine?

[wide oyster]

it'll be fine

[knotty ledge]

Sweet!

Malzeno might be up there as one of my favorite monsters, it’s so cool

Guard point my beloved, destroy these creatures 🙂

[heady goblet]

Alright, I got some wack as fuck game interactions

And a sick as fuck music sync

[toxic brook]

Me when someone is having a cool moment during the fight:

[golden aurora]

me omw to fail a counter again

[heady goblet]

Happened to Zak too

[knotty ledge]

[heady goblet]

Do y'all think they gave Aiden Kishala armor in the Fatty update so we would respect him more? Since the fight is so annoying the implication being that he went through with the grind regardless of how frustrating it is

[knotty ledge]

I’m the dorkiest hunter you’ll ever meet

I will cut that tail in the most unfashionable way in existence (clip from a while ago)

[golden aurora]

me omw

[knotty ledge]

I’m an idiot

[heady goblet]

How so?

[knotty ledge]

Weapons weren’t clicking with me in GU and I thought it was because I liked the newer things too much but

I didn’t realize you needed to unlock all the fun hunter arts 💀 this game is saved

[heady goblet]

[knotty ledge]

I genuinely thought I was stuck with absolute evasion/the one that lets you run 😭

[heady goblet]

I just use absolute readiness

[knotty ledge]

Is that the one that lets you run?

[heady goblet]

It keeps the weapon drawn

[knotty ledge]

Ahh ok

What are the benefits of that exactly

[heady goblet]

Don't gotta sheathe your weapon

[knotty ledge]

You use it with GS?

[heady goblet]

Switch Axe

[knotty ledge]

Oh ok! I kinda dislike how slow it feels tbh

So I just sheathe it

[wide oyster]

SA?

[knotty ledge]

Also, I’m like full time back on SnS rn. Going to hold off on Swaxe until I get the fun stuff unlocked.

[wide oyster]

make sure to use axe mode

if you want mobility

it's pretty good at that

[heady goblet]

I mean, you use it on a roar, or some attack, get your sharpness back and stay aggressive with it's seven million iframes and then go right back to shredding the monster with the R combo spam

[knotty ledge]

Ya know what that might be it 💀

[heady goblet]

Legitimately just valor sheathe cancel attack twice in axe mode, and you can be belligerent with R combo

[knotty ledge]

I played the striker swaxe

[heady goblet]

Try Valor

[knotty ledge]

I don’t think I have the R combo spam on striker 😭

[heady goblet]

It's Valor exclusive

[knotty ledge]

Ahh ok

Swaxe is cool cause apparently all the styles are good 👀 so I’ll def have to eventually!

[heady goblet]

R combo spam is just absolutely belligerent

[knotty ledge]

Going to love abusing it

[rose bison]

absolute evasion is great in monster hunter stories

[heady goblet]

It's one of the best in GU too

[rose bison]

what does it do

in mhst its just a dodge basically

[heady goblet]

Dodge with a shit ton of iframes, sharpens your weapon, sheathes your weapon

It's not amazing in a vacuum, but you can infinitely maintain your weapons highest sharpness level when combined with Razor Sharp

[wide oyster]

yeah, sword mode is glacial

it gets better with evade extender

but axe mode will always give you more mobility

[heady goblet]

Mobility gets pretty cracked in general in GU

Most heavy weapons get something that moves them like 8 billion miles a second that they really didn't need

[wide oyster]

blast dash :)

[heady goblet]

Every Adept dodge is not only really safe in general, but it's also a really good repositioning/movement tool

[icy stump]

Being able to adept evade up through a rajang lazer is so fucking fun you have no idea

You literally get to cooler people

https://tenor.com/view/cooler-dbz-dragon-ball-z-gif-4979164

Cause adept evades and valor sheathe dodges both are coded in a funny way that once you dodge a attack you're immune to that hitbox or whatever, so the only way you'll get hit is if the monster throws out multihit moves, which is rare in old MH

So you can run up lazers/gas clouds, what have you without a care in the damn world

[knotty ledge]

I need my axe attacks to be like 20% faster tho

I think Swaxe has a style or art that makes it that way so yeah, gotta grind to get the fun stuff

[icy stump]

GET.

TEMPEST.

AXE.

[knotty ledge]

Omg 💀

That’s wild

[knotty ledge]

What does it do

I’ve heard of it but forgot which one that is

[icy stump]

It makes axe mod fucking awesome

[knotty ledge]

That’s exactly what I need

[heady goblet]

Makes axe attacks 20% faster

[knotty ledge]

Oh lol

[icy stump]

Valor Tempest axe is crack cocaine

[knotty ledge]

Yeah that’s the one then!

Seems like I need to reach HR to get Tempest Axe 🪓

Or G rank in hub

So it’ll be a while

[knotty ledge]

Pokke village

[heady goblet]

Fr

[icy stump]

Where would someone aquire the frontier English patch thing?

I may wanna try it

[night ledge]

the higher damage in MR is honestly infuriating

[heady goblet]

It definitely can be kind of maddening when you start out

[night ledge]

i should not be losing 70% my health because i didnt see if a monster crouched to the right instead of the left

[heady goblet]

That sounds like you aren't grabbing Spiribirds

Which I think Monsters are designed around you having, because they deal way too much damage if you don't have them

[night ledge]

thats pretty shit design

[heady goblet]

Spiribirds are definitely my least favorite thing about Rise

You also have the best Petalaces right?

[night ledge]

no idea

[heady goblet]

They're from quests given by Fugen at the end of High Rank

[heady goblet]

We're reaching Vampire Survivors levels of Bitrate killing

I command thee kneel!

[knotty ledge]

I thought it was my armor defense being low but nah everything just hits really hard 💀

Which is fine, I’m just not going to get hit

[heady goblet]

So true

[knotty ledge]

But first I must fight the monster like 40 times

[heady goblet]

The best defensive skills are the evasion skills

[knotty ledge]

Evade window + evade extend my beloved

Nah but I don’t evade I simply guard point

Like 80% of the time

[heady goblet]

That has it's own value

[knotty ledge]

Yeah the positioning can be worse if I don’t evade but getting the guard point into funny counter is a ride on the dopamine train

[heady goblet]

At the same time, you can evade into even better positioning

[knotty ledge]

I should play more GS, it makes me more aware of positioning

Btw

I have gotten over the initial hump in GU and I’m enjoying it a lot more now

[heady goblet]

Very nice

[knotty ledge]

I have also claimed like all the dlc so free materials! I don’t got to farm so much!!

They should have these care packages in more games

[heady goblet]

They're in all the games prior to world

[knotty ledge]

Thank goodness lol

Early quests would be even more of a slog otherwise

[heady goblet]

Thank god the farm exists

Completely invalidates everything but mining

[knotty ledge]

The what

Where can I find it 💀

[heady goblet]

Talk to the house master cat

[knotty ledge]

The one in my house? Or the one in the ranch?

[heady goblet]

Your house

[knotty ledge]

Ok thanks! Will do!

[heady goblet]

[rose bison]

this guy gets it

AAAAA

why did it not show me all the messages

[rose bison]

i thought there was nothing between this and now, but then i say something and it shows me there is in fact many messages

[knotty ledge]

😭 discord moment

[heady goblet]

[rose bison]

anyways yeah personally i like it when the game is more punishing, as long as it isnt oneshots

[heady goblet]

Same

[rose bison]

if i dont almost die every time i make a mistake, i dont like ita s much

[heady goblet]

I love when I'm guaranteed 2 shot, just enough leeway to learn, not enough to make stupid desciscions

[rose bison]

yeah me too

[knotty ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/street-fighter-ryu-sagat-punch-slomo-gif-17397981

[heady goblet]

So true

[knotty ledge]

DP

[heady goblet]

One of the best SnS Hunter Arts too

[knotty ledge]

YOOO

Less go, we love wakeup DP being optimal

[heady goblet]

Imo the best is Chaos Oil 3, but the means to get that are evil

[heady goblet]

I was not expecting Zenith Daimyo to be like that

[icy stump]

Why was he kinda blueish at the end there?

Like before he died

[heady goblet]

That's it's Zenith Rage form

[icy stump]

Ah

[knotty ledge]

Joycon drift 😔

[heady goblet]

[knotty ledge]

Fighting tetsucabra

The fucking rock

My bad bro

Didn’t realize the dust counted as part of the attack

He knows what he did 😡

[heady goblet]

Yeah, that's how shockwaves work

I just got pretty lucky

Four gems and a crown across two hunts

[knotty ledge]

I thought it was just dust 😔

[heady goblet]

So true

[knotty ledge]

I will take Mizutsune exclusion extremely personal

Monster fighter? God I’m the only one who disliked the tracking of the monster aren’t I

[heady goblet]

The Fated Four are split! This must be rectified

[knotty ledge]

Fated four?

[dire bison]

the only mon i hate is tigerx

[knotty ledge]

Oh them!

Tigre’s narg?

[heady goblet]

Mizu, Astalos, Gammoth, and Glavenus, the four flagships of Generations, and the rivals of the previous flagships

[knotty ledge]

Oh!

I thought you meant tigrex and the others 😅

[heady goblet]

Generations ultimate technically had 6 flagships

[knotty ledge]

Who were they

Jet boy is the only one I’m aware of

[heady goblet]

The fated four, Bloodbath Diablos, and Valstrax

[knotty ledge]

Oh god I hated diablos 💀

Bloodbath diablos?? 😭

[heady goblet]

The deviant form of Diablos

It's the final one you can unlock

[knotty ledge]

I will not be unlocking that 😎 /s

But anyways

I really do hope they don’t make tracking lame in wilds

[heady goblet]

You should, they're one of the best monsters in the series

[knotty ledge]

I’m fine with not immediately seeing the monster on the map but god the hunting part was so lame in world 😭

[heady goblet]

Fr

Always having to do scoutfly bullshit was ass

[knotty ledge]

True!!!

I liked other aspects like hiding in bushes and stuff, that’s cool

We don’t really have that in rise

[heady goblet]

Honestly, I think anyone who complains about monsters being shown on the map never memorized spawns

[knotty ledge]

Yeah it’s completely pointless after a bit if you just know about the spawns, then it’s just an annoyance

Wtf this bingo!

People don’t want crossplay??

[heady goblet]

Apparantly not

[knotty ledge]

Why 💀 that doesn’t even make sense

[heady goblet]

I dunno

I have been begging for crossplay for so fucking long

[knotty ledge]

They could just add an option to turn it off, I’d love crossplay as an option

[dire bison]

cuz pc players are cheaters :babyrage:

[knotty ledge]

Yeah it’ll save me money because I no longer need to double dip just to play with people 😭

[knotty ledge]

This is like the WORST genre to cheat in

[heady goblet]

Capcom fr

[knotty ledge]

I doubt heavily that cheaters are an actual issue

I’ve never run into any

[dire bison]

axalu even admitted to that youtube channel that modded for easier fights for youtube clip farming

[heady goblet]

They're not

[dire bison]

big fat cheaters

[heady goblet]

You'll run into like

Maybe 1-2

[knotty ledge]

Exactly, not an issue

[heady goblet]

I ran into 1 during my time playing world

[knotty ledge]

How long have you been playing world
