Monster Hunter

[teal wharf]

I know, I looked it up

[icy stump]

Lance looks neat it wilds

[hushed kelp]

Let us go jousting!

Verily, dang it

Damn, lance is looking sick

I’m guessing it didn’t have shield bash style moves before?

[teal wharf]

It had some in Rise & Sunbreak, but not in World

[hushed kelp]

So if my previous understanding of shield based attacks holds up, lance should have better ability to stun?

[teal wharf]

Yup!

The Shield Charge > Shield Bash followup in Rise was actually really good at Stunning

So now Lance is basically just Sword & Shield but bigger

[hushed kelp]

Character development lol

But yeah, seems like it has a similar game plan to SnS, except with actual defensive capabilities and much greater range

Seems like the ideal co-op face tank

[teal wharf]

[icy stump]

Oi @rose bison you hunting in GU rn?

Oh wait that's someone else on my switch friends list with the name blind my bad

[teal wharf]

So, I just beat the final boss of base Iceborne and...Holy shit it's fight is so cool

[heady goblet]

Yeah, it's on of my favorites in the game

[icy stump]

Funny how both final bosses for world main stories were arguably the most creative monsters in each campaign respectively

Also

Why the hell is there no G xenojiiva?

Such a cool design just to get dropped is heartbreaking

[heady goblet]

Story reasons

[icy stump]

Ngl

That's a terrible reason for a monster hunter game

Thats like saying in the story for 4U since you canonically deal with shagaru magala in the village quest you should never have to deal with him again post LR village

Or in the HR hub since we kill base dalamadur he shouldn't get a G version

It's just really dumb imo

And I frankly hope the cut that bull for wilds

[rare knot]

Bro what the FUCK is that hitbox

[icy stump]

Ah the spacial tailslam

[rare knot]

I knew the tailslam hitbox was bad, but not only was I like 4 feet away, the hit registered after the attack was over

I love classic MH so much

[icy stump]

It's the best when you weaponize the games jank against itself

[rare knot]

Valor HBG?

[icy stump]

Well that and parrying the fuckass hitboxes

[rare knot]

Does guild Lance have a parry?

[icy stump]

It has the lance counter

[rare knot]

This is my first time playing Lance in GU I’m still figuring it out

[icy stump]

A while blocking

[rare knot]

Oh ok, I’ll give it a shot

[icy stump]

Striker lance has the OG tri poke

But loses the jump mid charge

[rare knot]

Loses the horizontal swipe as well, tho idk how useful that is

[icy stump]

Nah it ain't that good

I like alchemy personally

Can't out stall the wall

[azure fox]

||safijiva||

[icy stump]

I mean yeah

But that's like saying in 4U we shouldn't have a normal dalamadur in G rank

Im not a fan of world booting base versions of monsters out for their subspecies

For MR

[azure fox]

what other monsters get booted?

besides like

juyatodes

[icy stump]

Nergi, vaal, pickle off the top of my head

There's no base version in G rank

Zorah

But I'm not busted up over that

But at the same time

[azure fox]

the alternate versions for those monsters are similar enough to be excusable

[azure fox]

also good

fuck zorah

[icy stump]

It still feel lame imo to not have a base version

[azure fox]

Eh

They just feel like a harder version

Not really distinct enough to warrant having the alternate and base version

I say that as scarred yian garuga is any better lmao

[icy stump]

But then it's like why call them a new sub species if it's basically the same

It just seems like a waste to make a new model and everything just to make it act like the base G upgrade

[knotty ledge]

Wdym? isn’t alchemy the only way to play ?

[dire bison]

thats not the next trailer

[sharp cedar]

i need 2 more fangs

ive fought Vaal Hazak 5 times now

im so close

actually its like 3 fangs

[sharp cedar]

[dire bison]

https://vxtwitter.com/monsterhunter/status/1825080192853057729

[sharp cedar]

the final one

the animation looks sick but this was a pretty short trailer

[wide oyster]

it looks pretty fun

[dire bison]

the final one

for now

[sharp cedar]

come tuesday and we will see

[dire bison]

im still holding out for the pirate class

[rose bison]

im still holding out for new weapon

[wide oyster]

iirc they said in an interview that there'd be no new weapon

[sharp cedar]

once they update it will look better

[dire bison]

in this house we dont trust what devs say. we live on cope

[sharp cedar]

also doesn't the male version of the dual blades kind of look goofy

whats with the mask

[teal wharf]

Well, considering that people think the armour is from Congalala, it makes perfect sense

That guy is goofy as hell

[sharp cedar]

well all 14 weapons are out

[sharp cedar]

which monsters do each of the weapons belong too

or like what do people think atleast

[dire bison]

i just want monkey boi back, but even angrier

[teal wharf]

The Hammer, Switch Axe and Charge Blade sets are from new monsters that we don't know about
The Longsword, Lance and Insect Glaive sets are suspected to be from new monsters we do know about (Doshaguma, Bahabra and Chatacabra respectively)
The SnS Set is from Rathalos
The Gunlance, Hunting Horn and Heavy Bowgun sets are from sets crafted from gatherable materials (Ingot, Bone and High Metal respectively)
Light Bowgun and Bow are Unknown
Greatsword is the default starting set

[sharp cedar]

bahabra is the tongue one or the furry one

[teal wharf]

An important thing to note though, some of the weapons don't match the armour sets, like the ones for Dual Blades and Bow, meaning that they may be small-monster sets

[teal wharf]

Doshaguma is the big bear and Chatacabra is the frog. Bahabra is the big spiky sand worm

[sharp cedar]

so is tuesday to just confirm those things

or do we know nothing about what they're gonna show tuesday

[teal wharf]

One thing we know is that there's gonna be a full on-site demo, so we'll likely get new info from people who attend Gamescom

And there's likely gonna be a new trailer, showcasing more monsters and gameplay

Aside from that, I'm not sure

[rose bison]

until they release the 15th

tomorrow

trust

[sharp cedar]

so true

they release 16 weapons in total

so there can be 4 different parties all with different weapons

[sharp cedar]

1 more

[heady goblet]

Ngl

I hope Goss Harag returns

Just so I can get it's pants for drip

[golden aurora]

first crab to survive the lobotomy

[rare knot]

Trying to get parts off G Hyper Narg and I’ve triple carted to the tailslam several times in a row now

It is a one shot if you don’t have a full health bar

About to give up and take my chances with Hyper Congalala instead

[knotty ledge]

Is your about me a reference to Dorohedoro

[rare knot]

Sí

One of my fav manga

[knotty ledge]

@icy stump you play on switch right? Add me if you want to play sometime

[knotty ledge]

It’s so good

I read all the volumes in the span of a couple days one summer lol

[rare knot]

Yeah same, a buddy told me about it and it immediately had my full attention for an entire weekend lol

Q is one of my fav mangaka, love Dai Dark as well

[knotty ledge]

20+ volumes of pure quality

[rare knot]

Fr

[knotty ledge]

I was just about to recommend this in case you didn’t read it yet

[rare knot]

It’s such a fun series, I love how chaotic it is. There’s no heroes or villains, it’s just chaos, it’s just Dorohedoro

Also Noi is the perfect woman

[rare knot]

Actually just caught up with the physically releases, since vol 7 is coming out soon

Although I’m just now playing through the hub quests so I’m very behind lol

[rare knot]

Sent a friend request, my username is the same as it is here, south

[rare knot]

Ur good lol I only recently made it to G rank. I’m behind compared to most the MH bros in this server

I always have fun playing with people a lil behind me, gives me a chance to try out different weapons and builds easier

What weapon do you play?

[knotty ledge]

SnS and some GS

I play CB in every other game but I haven’t tried it much in GU

[rare knot]

Oh rad, those are some of my favs lol

I play SNS most nowadays, but I try to play a little bit of everything. I’m messing around with Lance rn

[knotty ledge]

Lance

My tag is Lance is Blue

Here’s my lobby

[rare knot]

Oh didn’t know you opened a lobby lol

Lemme finish up a hunt I’m in rn and I’ll join up

Ok ok

Sorry bout that

[knotty ledge]

No worries

[rare knot]

Remember it’s a cap mission

I’ll trap him

Oh ok nvm, gjgj

[knotty ledge]

I hate Rathalos in this game 💀

[rare knot]

Bring flash bombs and throw them when he flies

Makes him way easier

[knotty ledge]

Even still 😭

[rare knot]

I agree tho he is a bit annoying lmao

[knotty ledge]

Yian Garuga is still the worst by far tho

[rare knot]

Yeah fuck him lmao, I hate the fly backwards and scream thing he does

Whoops lmao. Guild card jumpscare

[knotty ledge]

It’s very annoying lol

[rare knot]

I hate gammoth too lmao

[knotty ledge]

Plus the bounces and on top of that he has poison

[icy stump]

I will

Actually hold up

Dammit lobby full

DOOR STUCK

[rare knot]

A mercifully quick gammoth fight

[knotty ledge]

Simply make a lobby and we’ll join

@icy stump

[icy stump]

I made a lobby with a passcode

1234

[rare knot]

How do I find ur lobby?

[knotty ledge]

It’s under John

I just searched a lobby with a passcode

[icy stump]

Yeah

Just search lobbies with passcodes

[rare knot]

Oh found it

[wide oyster]

how's MHGU?

[icy stump]

PEAK

MONSTER HUNTER

[knotty ledge]

So fun

[rare knot]

Best MH

[icy stump]

GAMING

[knotty ledge]

It scratches the Rise itch too

GU/Rise are the best (fact)

[wide oyster]

real

might buy it then

[icy stump]

DO IT PLEASE

[wide oyster]

since I vastly prefer rise over world

[icy stump]

It goes on sale alot

[rare knot]

I’m a classic MH worshipper so GU is like heroin to me

SEREGIOS!!!!

Love this guy

[rare knot]

It goes on sale 50% off every other week lmao

[knotty ledge]

Yeah man it’s a lot more fun than world imo

[icy stump]

Literally me

[wide oyster]

I'll wait for that, then

thanks for the recommendation

[rare knot]

Ahhh not narkarkos

[knotty ledge]

I’ve never fought this monster

[rare knot]

He’s an experience

You’ll see

Pretty sure unga is grabbing HBG rn

[rare knot]

Mercifully quick narkarkos

[rare knot]

Frontier in a nutshell

[icy stump]

Nah I wanted to not speed kill that one

[rare knot]

Oh gotcha

[knotty ledge]

Nark has a cool design

[rare knot]

He do, I just don’t like his fight much

[icy stump]

If you haven't fought Smth lemme know so I bring weaker gear

[knotty ledge]

Why did I become a blue man for a while

[rare knot]

You got slimed 😩

[icy stump]

His spoog

If you roll with it you get boned

[rare knot]

Welcome to HR btw

I never realized how many CB moves trip people

[knotty ledge]

What the hell, that monster was so cool 😭

[icy stump]

Kechawacha is cool

[rare knot]

One of my favs, he needs to come back

[icy stump]

True!

[rare knot]

4th gen has so many cool monsters we never saw again after

[knotty ledge]

I need Malfestio the owl to return

[rare knot]

Bro hear “trip” and changed to LS

[icy stump]

Yes

[knotty ledge]

[rare knot]

Fuck gypceros

[icy stump]

True!

[rare knot]

Moster Nhuter

Oh boy here comes HBG

[icy stump]

Its plesioth he deserves it

[rare knot]

We don’t hunt plesioths

We exterminate them

[icy stump]

It's not hunting

It's pest control

[rare knot]

What’s cures confusion again? Nulberries?

[icy stump]

Bitter bug

I just got used to the inverted controls lol

[rare knot]

Tyty

I hate it lol. I can get used to it but then I screw up when it wears off

[icy stump]

I'm gonna be rocking alchemy for a bit methinks

[rare knot]

Yian Garuga

[rare knot]

Barrel shakey time

[icy stump]

Kill em

[rare knot]

I might try it too lmao

[icy stump]

Alchemy lance is goated tbh

[sharp cedar]

nvm

there is no more

[dire bison]

they are trying to trick you

[icy stump]

Brb I'm getting food

[rare knot]

Kk

[knotty ledge]

Is there a way I can access the forge without leaving the lobby 💀

[heady goblet]

Yeah

The prep area

[rare knot]

Right side of the hub

[heady goblet]

Off to the right near the door

[rare knot]

Look for me I’ll lead u there

There ya go

[knotty ledge]

Thanks

[rare knot]

Ayyy got an upgrade

Seregios CB rocks

Behold

Greatsword in it's peak form

[rare knot]

Time for alchemy

https://tenor.com/view/fullmetal-alchemist-fullmetal-alchemist-2003-fma-fma-2003-melissa-gif-9308874682018973249

How do you play alchemy again?

[icy stump]

Quick heads up for alch lance

You lose counters

But can tri poke straight out of ahield

[rare knot]

Oh ok

[icy stump]

AH FUCK ZAMMY

Love this fuckhead

[rare knot]

Ayyyy zammy

Love the guy

https://tenor.com/view/bromance-sig-curtis-alex-louis-armstrong-fullmetal-fma-gif-18194534

[knotty ledge]

[icy stump]

Also hitting r+y after a sidesteps instantly puts you into bucket shaker

Skipping all sheathe animations

[rare knot]

Kk

Completely forgot how to use alchemy lmao

Seems wacky tho

[knotty ledge]

https://tenor.com/view/brandon-herrera-ak50-thicc-damn-rear-trunnion-gif-19257419

[icy stump]

Shake bucket
Get item
Make item buff sp

Buff sp gives extra buff

Life good

Love the chubby boi

[rare knot]

How do get diff items out of it?

More shakes?

[icy stump]

Ye

[rare knot]

K

[knotty ledge]

Do you only buff yourself

[rare knot]

I think so lmao

[knotty ledge]

Or do we all get it

[rare knot]

Oh no

Yeh it buffs everyone

[icy stump]

Lv1 is whetstone/food
2 is sonic bomb immunizers
3 is booster/earplugs
4 is slick/fireball
5 is cheer/remedy

[rare knot]

But I think I accidentally buffed myself when y’all walked off

[knotty ledge]

Slick 😳

[icy stump]

Sp buffs proc on everyone in the area when you use a sp art

Alchemy users only lvl their own bucket tho

Composed is a great skill for alchemy

Cause it makes arts and the alch gauge charge faster

[knotty ledge]

How do I get that skill 🥹

[icy stump]

Lvl 2 SP is gained from 2 pis used
Lv 3 is 5
Lvl 4 is like 9 iirc

[rare knot]

Damn you can SP everything lol

[icy stump]

Later game stuff

It was introduced in GU iirc

[knotty ledge]

[icy stump]

Deviant weapons tho also help

Cause innate faster charging

[knotty ledge]

Y’all named your Alchemy sets “Full metal” right ?

[icy stump]

Ironically

Full bloodbath gear is fantastic for alchemy

[rare knot]

Is alchemy sns any good? I’d assume so cuz strike is great

[icy stump]

Yeah it's ok

Quick alchemy 101 for optimal sp spam

Save up 3 lvls for booster

That kicks your bar gain Rate into overdrive

[rare knot]

[icy stump]

It also speeds up barrel shaking

[knotty ledge]

I like it, you can use the barrel without putting the weapon away too I think

[icy stump]

Alchemy whetstone also give the effect of hunter drinks so they can be good

[knotty ledge]

Which is SnS only

[knotty ledge]

I usually go for booster -> slick -> whetstone

[icy stump]

You can roll with any weapon and use the barrel anytime

[knotty ledge]

Oh word

Hmm maybe alchemy gs ain’t bad

[icy stump]

Oh it's deviously good

It's just better striker

[rare knot]

Bring back alchemy Capcom

[icy stump]

Cause you trade art spam for that plus buffs

And a double strong slash

The general idea is alchemy weapons have simplified movesets to gain the bucket

But GS is so basic as is it basically lost nothing and actually gained Smth lol

Alchemy Swag axe is really interesting

Each face button relates to axe and sword attacks respectively

[knotty ledge]

Alchemy swaxe is really cool

[icy stump]

And swag axe likes it's arts so it works really well

LS does Smth similar

X is all your base combo, but A is fade slashes

[rare knot]

Does alchemy sns lose anything diff from striker sns?

[rare knot]

Oh that’s weird

[icy stump]

It's sword attacks are all on X, A is all shield iirc

[rare knot]

Whaaaaaaaat

[icy stump]

Alchemy CB is really fucked but also cool

It plays like base MH 4 CB

[rare knot]

Weird other weapons have crazy changes like that, but Lance is just striker Lance lmao

[icy stump]

Wait no

[knotty ledge]

A still has sword swipes

[icy stump]

Alchemy Sns does lateral slash into immediate round slash with A

[knotty ledge]

Yeah

[icy stump]

You lose shield attacks I think

[rare knot]

Weird

Might try it out next

Lance is fun tho

[icy stump]

Alchemy lance makes EXes so tolerable

It's amazing

[rare knot]

In the club, straight up jorkin it

And by “it” I mean my barrel

[knotty ledge]

You still get 1 shield bash

[rare knot]

I’ll do one more but I gotta start getting ready to schleep soon

[knotty ledge]

Ok but you won’t like it

My last urgent I think is Gammoth 💀

[rare knot]

https://tenor.com/view/byuntear-bateman-gif-27617182

[icy stump]

Skip button?

[rare knot]

HBG!

HBG!

[icy stump]

You got it

Now gammoths gonna get it

And by it

I mean a volley of bullets

[rose bison]

and by "it"

haha

well lets just say

Death.

[icy stump]

Valor HBg is not a weapon

This shit is a fight skip button

[rare knot]

Alrighty gg yall

Later

[knotty ledge]

GG’s south

[icy stump]

I removed the passcode on the lobby

[knotty ledge]

I like the name of this quest

I need to make an actual set for my Aerial CB lol

Spin to win

[icy stump]

Snowbaron and boltreaver come to mind but both are deviants

And boltreaver is a G deviant to boot

Good news we could get you snowbaron gear rn and get that shit up to lvl 8

[knotty ledge]

What’s the gear good for

[icy stump]

Unfortunately that's like 24 quests

[knotty ledge]

I need new stuff anyway, HR rath can only take me so far

[icy stump]

Aerial style

[rare knot]

Hr rath can take you to G rank lmao

[icy stump]

But to make it good you need the full set to get up to lvl 6 at least

[knotty ledge]

That’s exactly what it’s doing for me rn lol

I don’t think it’ll cut it in G rank tho

[rare knot]

Yall make it to G already?!?

[knotty ledge]

Not yet

~8 quests left iirc

[rare knot]

Oh damn lmao

Zoomin thru that shit. I took my time, don’t think I got to G till 150 hours l

But I solod most of it, so

[icy stump]

Getting the snowbaron set might be a good idea cause you should be able to convert it to the G version pretty quick

And realistically it should be quick anyway

Cause a deviant lagombi is still a lagombi

Also how'd you get HR rath armor, village?

[knotty ledge]

Yeah

[icy stump]

...

That's not HR rath armor

[knotty ledge]

The plan is to be able to solo anything in G rank lol

[knotty ledge]

Oh lol

Village is just LR??

[rare knot]

Village has HR I’m p sure

Right?

[icy stump]

The advanced quests are HR

And you can unlock HR

But it takes a bit

All the fated 4

And soaratorium stuff

[rare knot]

Yeah but there’s village HR rath

[knotty ledge]

[icy stump]

Yeah the advanced

[rare knot]

Nah?

[icy stump]

Theres both actual HR hr in village

But advanced quests are essentially a tier up from whatever your village tier is in

[rare knot]

Advanced stuff is like, pre-G stuff. Basically cross endgame

[icy stump]

So if you do a advanced HR quest it's a G rank thing

[rare knot]

Yeah and there’s basic HR rath

In village

[icy stump]

Adept GS vs glav

I'm boutta pop the fuck off

But yeah if you want snowbaron gear I'm willing to help ya run it

[knotty ledge]

Yes please

[icy stump]

Did you unlock snowbaron yet?

Cause deviants are weird and you only get credit for completing the quest if you post it

You still get rewards and all dat

But to unlock the next lvl you gotta post the pior lvl

[knotty ledge]

Yeah, under special permits right?

[icy stump]

Yep

Y'know how this whole grind works?

[knotty ledge]

I do not

[icy stump]

Dw it's simple

Each quest is a level

Each level of the quest has a ticket associated with it

Said tickets are used to make and level the gear

You get 2 tickets per level for that level

So theoretically you need 3 quests pre level to make a full set and weapon

But later quests give tickets for earlier levels so I'd recommend doing 2 per level initially then doubling back if you need a certain ticket to cut down on replays

After this I'll post the lvl 1 again so you can get more tickets without eating into your permit count

Then we go to 2 and repeat the process till the HR req gets too high

That way it'll cut down the grind to like, 16 quests

But you might not be able to make a weapon

[knotty ledge]

Wait so are we alternating it then?

[icy stump]

And you'll have to wait for a full set

Ye

So now I post lvl 1

Then you post lvl 2

Deviant sets are quirky cause they don't hit full power till lvl 6

You get 2 skills immediately

But lvl 6+ gets Access to a soul skill, which combines multiple skills

Snowbaron is a aerial focused set

And it's a suit

[knotty ledge]

So what are the skills for the set?

[icy stump]

Innately airborne and rec speed 2

Lvl 6 you get snowbaron for evade extender and mounting master

And for the g version at lvl 4 snowbaron X gives you stamina rec speed up

[knotty ledge]

😳

[icy stump]

Wait no I lied

Base snowbaron soul get stamina rec up and evade extender

X gives mount master

[knotty ledge]

Is it my turn to post

[icy stump]

Yes you post lvl 2 now

Iirc you start getting earlier tickets at lvl 5

And 5 gives 1s, 6 gives 2s etc

Lv 7s are fucken evil tho

Imagine

Capture quest

But you cannot bring your own items

[knotty ledge]

Bruh

[icy stump]

It's so fucked

It's genuinely the one time I actually bring cats

Cause as long as a cat can trap they can theoretically build enough gauge for as many traps as needed

[knotty ledge]

Do we have to do any level 7’s ? 💀

[icy stump]

Yes

[knotty ledge]

Oh no

[icy stump]

I'll bring a cat dw about it

And in G rank you unlock provision division to get airmailed shit mid quest

[heady goblet]

Dreadqueen my beloathed

[icy stump]

So I'll have a extra extra trap to give someone

[icy stump]

Just play HH lol

Status resist song

Her gimmick ?

Obliterated

[heady goblet]

Don't care, that capture quest can choke on a 12 gauge

[icy stump]

Honestly I think the kings is worse

[knotty ledge]

Posting the 3rd

[icy stump]

Yep

You comprehend him

You get the gimmick

Time to speedrun

[knotty ledge]

HBG

[icy stump]

Honestly I dont think valor HBg has a good MU into him

He moves too much and is small

I think bow might be better

Also gimmie a min

[knotty ledge]

I’m whiffing a lot of my aerial attacks too 😭

[icy stump]

Yeah

Ironic aint it?

Adept of striker seem to be the general way to go

The pure distance both evade arts can get make running him down way more tolerable

[wide oyster]

3-7 at best

[icy stump]

Genuinely love how this game has MU variety and how a style can flip them upside down

[knotty ledge]

Btw is it my turn to post ?

[icy stump]

Nah you just did

I think bow is a good pick

Just that this bow ain't it

Pierce doesn't match well against tiny boi

[knotty ledge]

[wide oyster]

is spread the best bow type in GU as well?

[knotty ledge]

Should I be crafting some of these lagombi parts yet

[icy stump]

Wait not I have the perfect counter

Valor DBs

[heady goblet]

Iirc it's pretty close between the shot types, but I think heavy bow is the best?

[wide oyster]

oh

that's good to hear

[icy stump]

Pretty much every bow is good

Eeeeexcept Pierce iirc

[heady goblet]

Which is funny

Since pierce is by far the best ammo type for the Bowguns

[icy stump]

You won't be able to make a full set yet, but feel free to

[icy stump]

Oh yeah

Diabolical

[knotty ledge]

Are we going with the 4th level then?

[icy stump]

Ye

You post it

Man how the FUCK did I forget valor DBs

Thats like the perfect counter to any overtly mobile monster

This is now HR snowbaron as a quick heads up

Yeah valor DBs is the hard counter

The dash is insane

[knotty ledge]

There are 2 pieces each for the lagombi parts (I’m assuming one is male/female?

Do people mix and match or is it just cosmetic

[icy stump]

One is gun other is blademaster

[knotty ledge]

Ahh ok

[icy stump]

This is pre merged set

[knotty ledge]

I just got the ones with higher defense

[icy stump]

Yeah good

Those are the blademaster

The only one compatible with both types is the head anyway

Oh yeah

This is happening

Lvl 5 time

Hellblade DBs rip this thing asunder

This should get you a extra lvl 1 ticket to make the legs

The guy said he was gonna sit out for 1

[knotty ledge]

Oh whoops I just read that 😭

[icy stump]

I forgot the other little shit monster respawns on these types of quests

Didn't get a lvl 1 ticket, I'm guessing it's from 6 onwards

[knotty ledge]

Why are they so ANGRY

[icy stump]

Which ones?

[knotty ledge]

The bulls

[icy stump]

Cause they're build of pure hate

[knotty ledge]

[icy stump]

Lvl 6 time

[knotty ledge]

I don’t have enough special permits

[icy stump]

You can go to the prep area, housekeeping and then buy them

Well do my lvl 6 first

Then yours

Cause I have permits to burn

Also talk to the mail cat in the village, he gives em away for free

You gonna post 6?

Or are you outta tickets still?

[knotty ledge]

Just went to craft the legs 🦵

[icy stump]

Ok

Aight

It's sicko time

[knotty ledge]

Wait

Can we save the sicko time for another day

[icy stump]

Lvl 7

Trust me it's easier to just rip the band aid off now

[knotty ledge]

Aight let’s do it

[icy stump]

Don't worry I'm a widdle guy

With unlimited traps

[knotty ledge]

Why do you not play lbg?

[icy stump]

I refuse on principal

[knotty ledge]

😭

[icy stump]

Damn the cat has a good matchup into snowbaron what da heel

[knotty ledge]

Ok what’s the story behind this 🤨

[icy stump]

....

I just never did
And only having a single use on my guild card is really funny

[knotty ledge]

Ok I thought there was a deeper meaning for a second lol

Anyways, I have crafted all the limbs for the armor set

Should I just stick to upgrading it then?

[icy stump]

Yes

We're gonna go tuna nother kecha wacha

Then more of the sicko level

Turns out the getting earlier tickets gimmick is dumber than I though

You can get a extra level 1-5 ticket on level 6, and extra level 7-8 tickets on 9 and 8-9 on 10

After this post 7 as fast as possible

[knotty ledge]

I’m at level 5 for everything except the legs

[icy stump]

The other guy isnt high enough HR

[knotty ledge]

Damn he can’t join?? 😭

[icy stump]

Ye

HR 6+

[knotty ledge]

That was my last one

Thanks for the games Unga, let’s do some more tomorrow if you’re free

[icy stump]

Ye

[knotty ledge]

[icy stump]

Banging out a third of a base gen deviant quest line in like 3 hours or so is pretty good

[rose bison]

i just did a bunch of quests in rise with some friends

we're all like HR 1-2 and they're all newer than me so it was fun teaching stuff

[heady goblet]

Nice

[rose bison]

i can feel a monster hunter phase starting once again

[heady goblet]

Mischief just beat base world

[rose bison]

i still gotta like start world

last thing i remember doing is the escort quest where you fight a barroth

[heady goblet]

That quest is ass I don't blame you for stopping there

[rose bison]

i didnt stop cause it sucked, i stopped cause i never really got into the game

it was just a one-off thing while i had time

it did suck though

[heady goblet]

I was about to say lmao

[rose bison]

hammer just isnt as fun in world

ive been playing greatsword in this new rise save though and its been lots of fun

[heady goblet]

Wait until you get the switch skills for GS, then it'll really pop off

[rose bison]

i knowww i cant wait

ive been trying a bit of longsword as well, its also fun though not nearly as much

and then i also have the classic charge blade and hammer, my secondary and my main

[heady goblet]

Charge Blade is the goat fr fr

[rose bison]

charge blade is always great

hammer still my goat though

[sharp cedar]

13 MINUTES

https://vxtwitter.com/monsterhunter/status/1825442580248818103

ok

ill wait for youtube

[teal wharf]

It's just a recap of all the weapon trailers so far

Tomorrow's when we're getting something new

[sharp cedar]

so sad

[icy stump]

https://youtu.be/ieKSntWfMiQ?feature=shared

Idk why but this shit sent me

Prolly the music

[rose bison]

aw man i wanted to see zorah magdoros

[hushed kelp]

This just proves to me that the Switch held back Rise's monsters from being ridiculously oversized

Like those fuckers are so BIG

[heady goblet]

I mean

Ahtal Neset is on the switch

[hushed kelp]

Never ended up getting that far

But yeah that is one on the larger size

[heady goblet]

I think the largest monster in SB is Amatsu though

[hushed kelp]

Watching the weapon preview summary, I am still in awe at the decision to give Chatacabra a visible ||cloaca/butthole||

I will say my one actual complaint is that there isn't enough low end on the attacks, especially the bigger weapons/attacks. Capcom seems to really be a fan of lighter, more compressed sounding sound effects, when I'm really missing some thick, meaty hits

[icy stump]

I want big blood splatters back

I remember back in 4U a charge attack on GS always would get a blood trail on hit and that shit was badass

[hushed kelp]

Video ancient, don’t care: https://youtu.be/H3c4GYwHnDc?si=4na6PPJhHy9crXFw

[rose bison]

is it not ||gaismagorm||?

[heady goblet]

I forgot about his existence ngl

[rose bison]

kinda fair

[icy stump]

He's He's beeg boooi

[knotty ledge]

@icy stump @rare knot

Let me know if y’all want to game

[icy stump]

I need to keel beeg dragon

[icy stump]

I'm good to go

[knotty ledge]

Invite me

[icy stump]

I made a lobby

It should be easy to search

It's snowbaron AUGH

[knotty ledge]

[icy stump]

That's the last level you can do rn right?

[knotty ledge]

Yeah

What was that? 7 or 8

[icy stump]

8

Rn I think the main thing is get all the pieces up to lvl 6 at least

That way you get the soul skill

[knotty ledge]

They’re all at 7 except the greaves which are at 1 💀

[icy stump]

You can then upgrade a few pieces past that for defense, then use the last 2 levels after clearing HR to max out the last piece

[knotty ledge]

I need the SH 2 mark

[icy stump]

We can get it from lvl 6 if we're lucky

[knotty ledge]

Are there any other ways or do we just pray to Rngesus ? 😭

[icy stump]

Actually running lvl 2

Again

Running 6 tho gets you a extra 6th ticket (you'll need that anyway) and can either get you a extra 1-5

[heady goblet]

Desire sensor time

[knotty ledge]

What’s that mean?

[wide oyster]

expect nothing so you're pleasantly surprised if you happen to get something good

[icy stump]

If we lucked out lvl 6 kills 2 birds one stone

[wide oyster]

the game can read your mind and give you everything except for what you want

[heady goblet]

It's patented capcom technology

[knotty ledge]

Oh lol

[icy stump]

Lemme post lvl 2 cause I have permits to burn

[heady goblet]

Cortexes when you want gem, gems when you want scales

[knotty ledge]

[wide oyster]

it's like how tails have a 99% chance to give you a scale

on carve

[knotty ledge]

[icy stump]

That ending was hilarious

"GET IN" slap

Quest complete!

[knotty ledge]

Bro you beat it to sleep

Change your name to Nightquil 😭

[icy stump]

Yknow what

This is personal

Legombo needs to catch these hands

[knotty ledge]

I need SH3 now (the journey never ends)

[knotty ledge]

I thought it was a cute monster but it’s actually the worst thing in existence 👌

[icy stump]

The rule of thumb is each deviant level needs to be done 3 times for enough permits for a whole set+weapon upgraded

But I was tryna see if we could cheese it by abusing the fact later quests drop earlier tickets

[knotty ledge]

Ahh ok

[icy stump]

Which is why I suggested we run 6 again before any other but ah well

I love the baki event DBs

You just throw hands with the monsters

[knotty ledge]

I love how Baki/Fairy tale had collabs in this game lol

[icy stump]

Hol up check this shit out

[knotty ledge]

I’ll be quicker next time

[icy stump]

Do you notice the sword I have

[knotty ledge]

Where you at

[icy stump]

You missed it

I had the master sword

[knotty ledge]

Oh bruh 😭

[knotty ledge]

Show me later lol

[wide oyster]

the master sword is in MHGU?

[heady goblet]

Yes

[wide oyster]

that's incredible

[icy stump]

The fraction from FE too

Yknow how Rise has the akuma set?

There's There's shitton of things like that in GU

[knotty ledge]

Where art thou master sword

[icy stump]

See ?

It's peak

[knotty ledge]

@wide oyster it’s peak

[wide oyster]

[wide oyster]

if only the dante charge blade was in this game...

[icy stump]

We have dante cat

[wide oyster]

even better

[icy stump]

AND YOU CAN PLAY AS THE CAT

YOU CAN PLAY AS THE DANTE CAT SERI

[wide oyster]

does he have dante's moves?

in any case

that's amazing

lol

[icy stump]

Kind of

[wide oyster]

they should bring back prowler mode

for wilds

[icy stump]

It's cat armor

So you can use basically any palico skills you want

[wide oyster]

oh

nice

so it's like the sonic palico armor in rise

[icy stump]

Yofelyne comet is basically stinger tho lol

[icy stump]

That's also in GU

[knotty ledge]

With this, I should have level 6 on everything

[icy stump]

Ye

[knotty ledge]

So now I have evade extender and stamina Rec up with one skill?

[icy stump]

Ye

[knotty ledge]

Peak

I needed that evade extender

That window is so tiny rn

[icy stump]

For aerial your I frames are available on the 2nd half of the vault

You're invincible as soon as you can jump off the monster

[knotty ledge]

What should I be doing with the armor btw

Weren’t there other skills that I unlock in the future?

[icy stump]

There's a upgrade to the soul skill you get at lvl 14

That's like, post game G rank

[knotty ledge]

Ahh ok

[icy stump]

And even then that's just adding mounting master to it

[knotty ledge]

I’ll ignore it, I’m not even at G rank yet lol

[icy stump]

For now it should carry you through the end of HR

[knotty ledge]

What should I be doing for Grank?

[icy stump]

Then I'd recommend getting to G and bearing a G Lacombe to unlock the G levels for it, and go back and clean up 8-g3 as you need def

[knotty ledge]

Kk

I’ll grind to G rank this week with y’all

[icy stump]

The key to grinding a deviant is to not go all balls in on it in one day

[knotty ledge]

I’m almost there iirc

[knotty ledge]

But I will

[icy stump]

Breaking it up helps aton

[knotty ledge]

[heady goblet]

It'll stockholm you into licking them

[icy stump]

Grinded the full dreadking set in a day one time early in my career

Never. Again.

46 quests against that fucker

In one day

[knotty ledge]

Bruh

[icy stump]

Covid was a wacky time

[knotty ledge]

I spent covid playing DQ11 grinding metal slimes lol

https://tenor.com/view/dragon-quest-weird-slime-metal-slime-fight-gif-15831053

[icy stump]

A friend of Mine got GU and we were gonna run through it so to prep I decided to get the full dreadking set to look good (at the time I had rath X)

[icy stump]

Also what the fuck is this ad?

[knotty ledge]

Metal slime Nintendo ad

[icy stump]

Crazy

But FR the set you have now should be good enough for the rest of HR

[knotty ledge]

Thanks for helping me get it Unga 😳

[icy stump]

No problem

[rare knot]

Sorry I was sleebin’

[sharp cedar]

no more 1 am posts...

[teal wharf]

Yeah, gotta wait until the gamescom stream for today's reveal

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iT5ilwECdrA

[sharp cedar]

damn 10 am

[hushed kelp]

Time for the annual running joke where someone runs on stage to mention Bill Clinton

[teal wharf]

Nah, that's not until the Game Awards

This time's it's gonna be Lincoln

[hushed kelp]

I’d rather they bring up crunch and overworking in game development, but as long as the host looks like a fool I’m okay

Do I have anything against him as a person? No

But he literally has companies pay him to show ads and pretend to be his friend, so my empathy for the man runs low

[sharp cedar]

It started I think

[teal wharf]

It's only the starting soon screen currently, then the pre-show will run from half past.

[sharp cedar]

FUCK ads im missing ||dmc 6||

||Misinformation ||

[knotty ledge]

[sharp cedar]

OH

ITS TIME

[teal wharf]

[sharp cedar]

NO RELEASE DATE!!!!

WOO

[rose bison]

YOOO THATS HUGE

THEY CAN RELEASE IT WHENEVER THEY WANT

[sharp cedar]

https://vxtwitter.com/monsterhunter/status/1825970509340881094

[rare knot]

Was just about to ask about the mh trailer

[rose bison]

i want it too

gonna get up and watch on my pc

finally a reason to get out of bed in the mornings

[rare knot]

THIS LOOKS SO GOOD

||NEW SPIDER MONSTER AHHHHH||

[sharp cedar]

do we have to spoiler tag these things or no

[rare knot]

I don’t think it matters but doing it just in case

It is a big reveal

[teal wharf]

||The new spider, a full look at Rey Dau (who's actually not an Elder Dragon apparently!?) and, most importantly talking Palicos ||

[teal wharf]

It's best to do it for a bit, to give everyone a chance to watch the trailer for themselves without being spoiled

[rare knot]

The talking English speaking palicos is actually kinda growing on me now lmao

[sharp cedar]

Also anyone here watch dungeon meshi? i think thats chilchuck

[sharp cedar]

got it

[rare knot]

Who?

[sharp cedar]

the first girl in the beginning

[teal wharf]

HOLY SHIT IT IS

I didn't hear that at first

[rare knot]

I havent seen the anime so idk what his Va sounds like lol

[teal wharf]

He sounds pretty much the same as the person in the beginning of the trailer

And by pretty much, I mean exactly the same

[rare knot]

idk about mh but she also VA’s shinji in the Eva Netflix dub

[sharp cedar]

they also played shinji

[rare knot]

Having a mh character VA’d by Shinji would be nuts

[sharp cedar]

nvm you beat me to it

[rare knot]

https://tenor.com/view/meme-anime-gif-22734101

Okay guys hear me out: and Eva crossover event where you meet Shinji. It would be very convenient

[sharp cedar]

https://vxtwitter.com/QuirklessStoner/status/1825970154284392822

[teal wharf]

By the looks of things, they look to be similar in function to Fiorayne(?) in Sunbreak, so you can tell them to get on the Monster Shinji

[dire bison]

when they say apex does that mean thats the flagship?

[teal wharf]

That's my guess, yeah

[rare knot]

I hope so, dude looks rad

[sharp cedar]

heres the render

[rare knot]

I would die for him

[rose bison]

my jaw actually dropped

[teal wharf]

It's so pretty, what the hell

[rose bison]

that is SO COOL

[rare knot]

Always LOVE ||bug themed monsters, and ESPECIALLY anything spiderlike||

[teal wharf]

[rare knot]

||the flower butt is gorgeous as well||

||can’t wait to fight this thing, I bet it’s bow is gorgeous||

[rose bison]

i think i have a new favorite monster

[rare knot]

Which one?

[rose bison]

||railgun bird||

[rare knot]

||RAILGUN BIRD||

[teal wharf]

||Bro, the Lance is gonna be freakin' beautiful if they go the full rose aesthetic||

[rose bison]

like thats literally the coolest thing ever

[rare knot]

Truuuueee

[rose bison]

you cannot get better than that

i thought jet engine bird was cool but no this is so much cooler

[rose bison]

||i love how it twirls like a ballerina in that one part of the trailer||

[teal wharf]

Youtube version of the trailer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp4gR1QEvVA

[hushed kelp]

The new spooder is so pretty!

Also is hammer time lady the blacksmith's mom or older sister? Weird npc question, but I'm curious

[teal wharf]

Not sure, I'm pretty sure they're a guy though

I might be wrong though

[dire bison]

no ones talking about how you can bring npc to hunts eh

[teal wharf]

That was a thing in Rise/Sunbreak

I can't remember when it was introduced, but I know that's a thing in Sunbreak at least

[dire bison]

oh lame

cowards

[hushed kelp]

NPC allies were introduced in sunbreak

[hushed kelp]

They're the one talking during the intro to the little village

[sharp cedar]

its chilchuck

[hushed kelp]

"We could do a lot worst for an interim camp"

[rose bison]

sounds like a girl and seems to be wearing female armor so idk

doesnt really matter though

they're cool regardless

[teal wharf]

Yeah, of course

[sharp cedar]

wait

[rose bison]

yeah im drawing that

[sharp cedar]

can someone delete that, i didn't spoiler tag it

[rose bison]

thats my next pfp for sure

[teal wharf]

Done!

[sharp cedar]

||https://vxtwitter.com/MHKogath/status/1825972330675208498||

[wide oyster]

hopefully the hbg for this one is a railgun

[sharp cedar]

||its a flying wyvern and the only apex for the windward plains||

[wide oyster]

like the zinogre one

[teal wharf]

My guess is it's gonna be similar to the one for Rajang in appearance

Something like this

[azure fox]

Burn

https://tenor.com/view/flame-thrower-leonardo-dicaprio-lance-flamme-burn-burning-gif-21661296

[wide oyster]

if it has that energy effect

[sharp cedar]

that would be cool

[wide oyster]

it'd be so good

[hushed kelp]

HBG mains after beating the flagship 4 times

[rare knot]

Can’t wait to kill this guy

[sharp cedar]

are flagships different

[teal wharf]

Reading this, it might actually be closer to Anjanath in World than a flagship

The Apex of a given region, bar Elder Dragons

[rare knot]

I wonder who the flagship is then 🤔

[teal wharf]

My guess is that we'll see in due time

[rare knot]

Big spider

[teal wharf]

I'd imagine they're gonna be the first new Elder Dragon we see

[rare knot]

I want another big spider but it’s an elder dragon

[teal wharf]

Atwol-Ka

[rare knot]

Fuck arachnophobes this game is for the spider bros

[wide oyster]

flagships are the mascot of each game

for World, it's Nergigante

since he's on the box art

for Iceborne, it's Velkhana

since they're on the box art

etc.

[sharp cedar]

its not this thing then

[wide oyster]

rise has magnamalo and sunbreak has malzeno

[hushed kelp]

I'm hoping for a massive hippo that shoots tachyon lasers out of it's mouth

[rare knot]

Flagship monster but it’s just a guy

Like a modern day guy from the real world

[teal wharf]

"H-he's a monster! We can't do anything about him!"
is just your average American in a Bomber Jacket with rifle

[rare knot]

No like he’s just a data entry clerk or somethin

No weapons works a 9-5 collects stamps

[hushed kelp]

I will say, I'm hoping they expand on the human ecology of the game

Like have a mission where you're tasked with saving kids from a Congalala, and it turns out he's just keeping them entertained and they're just chilling

[rose bison]

holy crap thats sick

[rose bison]

also it reminds me a lot of vikavolt

[rare knot]

Better quest descriptions and objectives would be nice tbh

[wide oyster]

it's a fairly meta HBG as well

which is really nice

[rare knot]

Doesn’t have to be crazy, just anything else other than “hey this monster sucks and I hate it and it’s disrupting trade routes, go murder it”

[teal wharf]

They seem to be going in a little harder with the story this time round, so I wouldn't be surprised if they step up the quests to acomodate for that

[rose bison]

the scariest monster of them all

a white man

when he gets enraged he just goes "ive had it about up to here, pal"

[rare knot]

“You’re barking up the wrong tree”

[teal wharf]

"Listen here, buster!"

[sharp cedar]

https://vxtwitter.com/QuirklessStoner/status/1825974678684578080

[rare knot]

“How about we all just take a chill pill and talk this out”

[hushed kelp]

"I'll get my lawyer!"

[rare knot]

Love the claws

[hushed kelp]

"I'm calling the police"

[rose bison]

i hate it how nobody says "oh welcome home i missed you" its always just "get out of my house im calling the police"

[rare knot]

This monster may not look intimidating, but it’s kind once conquered most of the known world

[hushed kelp]

Wait, we're getting into larger groups now

The real flagship is gonna be a bunch of frat bros at Monster Hunter Burning Man

[sharp cedar]

https://blog.playstation.com/2024/08/20/monster-hunter-wilds-all-the-news-from-gamescom-opening-night-live/

[rose bison]

the flagship is the school board

[rose bison]

yeah

relatalbe

[teal wharf]

GUYS
