What's the weapon skill
#Monster Hunter
heady goblet
wide oyster
getting an extra 50 damage on hits is nice, but, since GS is a relatively slow weapon, idk how usefull it'll be
heady goblet
I see
sharp cedar
It’s like blast
wide oyster
because 50 is too low
night ledge
Its good with weapons that hit alot and deal damage that way
icy stump
Mah GS gets shat on yet again
I'm sad flayer kinda sucks cause I think a flayer/partbreaker build could be fun
wide oyster
Mah GS gets shat on yet again
Artian weapons continue to reign supreme
at least the Artian GS looks cool
night ledge
I use flayer pb on ls
Its noticeablely less dps but makes farming/just surviving much easier
icy stump
I use flayer pb on ls
Honestly
Might retool my set to use flayer at the least
I don't like how WeX encourages me to Not pop wounds instantly
icy stump
Don't worry I time it to right before a attack happens anyway cause I suck at aiming the focus strikes lol
night ledge
If i see you poping a wound when the monster is down I'm beating sol with the nerf stick again
icy stump
Just fucking kill me at that point
THE WOUNDS POP ANYWAYS WHEN I HITTEM, MIGHT AS WELL GET A FREE TCS OFF

you havnt played monster hunter till you fucked up someones explody barrel plans by accident

Alchemy fireball my beloved

The zoh HR fight sucks
The fucken Toaster roaster blast into charged fireball is a checkmate and a half
Cause both do like 50%
And you can't really evade either
I think I realized why this game feels so weird
Monsters don't hit you with hard knockdowns anymore and you really feel it in zohs hr fight
If I could just sit down a sec and dodge the charge fireball it'd be less annoying
wide oyster
I don't feel that way
I though that Zoh had a good amount of hkds
and I dodged a bunch of his attacks by just staying on the ground
like the lightning and charged fireballs
I thought the fight was pretty fair
but also hard
icy stump
and I dodged a bunch of his attacks by just staying on the ground
Honestly I think my problem is I can't tell whether or not I have invincibility
It's weird
Also I swapped my build for flayer 4 instead of WeX, id rather get more wounds and pop em more than to not pop em asap
I feel like this game has a lot of visual noise that makes shit hard to tell
night ledge
maybe the ranged zoh weapons are good...
icy stump
I've decided to run a bludgeoneer flayer build with adrenaline rush and EW
And a itty bit of part breaker
As a treat
azure fox
Just like me fr
hushed kelp
I mean, tbf the only other fight where the stuff that drops down isn't to protect you is Alatreon
All the other times in MH barriers are for your protection (ie: Fatalis, Behemoth, Geismagorm, safijiva, etc)
icy stump
Dead ass what happened to me in LR
That shits evil game design
I think I've come around on zoh fight wise again
I just had to lock tf in
toxic brook
That shits evil game design
HR zoh decided that my vibes were indeed off
And i was wrongful to disagree

icy stump
Is it still zoh shia or did they pull a Worldborne and drop zoh shia for a upgraded form?
night ledge
Its actually a just really small zoh shia that runs around really fast
icy stump
Honestly
Prolly would fix my main issue with that fight of all the moves having humungo hitboxes
I swear the wilds monsters were designed like rise monsters 
Like for fucks sake
||Gore has the power wave move from chaotic!||
icy stump
What about that rear up directly down flamethrower move
Like the toaster roaster 9000
That into charged fireballs is prolly one of the most nasty combos I've ever seen from a monster
Cause both do about 50%
heady goblet
Probably not idk
toxic brook
hushed kelp
Too much floof
icy stump
I got a whole part of lobby to prance in MHwilds
High art
It was even funnier cause for a bit people were just watching me prance and all one by one were like "eh why not"

this chat would be cooler if you guys posted yourself doing stuff like this
icy stump
Can't I'm too busy tryna figure out a way to smuggle pipe bombs out of the bowling area in the hub
Also ngl
The dude armor for zoh shia legs looks kinda goofy
Goofy aaaaaah zebra print
Also gotta say Mizu is great in wilds
Just straight up porting the Gen Fight and adding soulseer shit in was definitely the play
I do hope if we get a arc tempered they go the extra mile and make the gamma set the actual soul seer set
Offsetting the tempered bubble drop/stinger he does is pay back for all the times that shit team wiped my squad in GU during the fucken EX fight
Also I love how a genuine strat for GS offsets is to turn away from the monster if you start it too early, cause that lets you offset doing the animation of the sword coming back down
Which is genuine peak
The only thing I don't like about offsets are how they vary
Sometimes you send the monster rolling
Other times not
And sometimes you actually take damage while other times nah
Etc
If I had to guess I think they programmed it so theres the actual hit on the attack itself, and then there's the "offset hitbox" which is there purely to determine whether or not you offset a incoming attack or not
(cause I've had time where the rising slash hits, does damage, but then the monster swings into the sword at the higher part of its arc and then gets parried)
From there I gotta figure out what cause the full knockback or the non existent knockback

Bubble drop be like
analog osprey
Ah
icy stump
Ngl
Arkveld makes me irrationally annoyed
I stg that MFer has weird moves
Like the hooked wing swipe I stg is a crossup, cause when I try to directly block it I get hit
Fuck monsters with baked in crossups
That shit evil
icy stump
Tempered yes
And normal if your gear isn't up to snuff
Unfortunately for the bubbly bastard I've developed a sixth sense to foresee bubble drop and bubble stinger
He cannot hurt me, and Instead eat a offset for his sins
Oh how the turns tabled
night ledge
T. Mizu is very scary if you're under 350def and/or using a ranged weapon
T. Mizu is regular scary if youre +350 def and using a melee weapon
wide oyster
exactly
icy stump
especially with a slow weapon
Simply develop a sixth sense to parry the bubble drop/stinger
All that fucking time on GU
Paying dividends rn
wide oyster
swaxe is super fun until you build amp
it then becomes a one-move simulator
after that point
icy stump
I hope it gets the GS treatment next Gen and uncentralizes it
wide oyster
it's funny, because that's exactly what rise did
but they went back on those changes for wilds
anyways, at least GS is fun
icy stump
Wilds GS is prolly the most fun Ive had with the Baseline GS moveset in a while
Like I still think I like valor/surge slash more
But it's up there

I do not have the video game lmao
Must’ve been some other thedoc
icy stump
I thought you got it lmao
My bad G
Also unrelated
I fucking get it now
They should NOT have given me a parry
Biggest mistake possibly ever
The poor fucking rathalos stand no chance!
Their survival percentage was already in the single digits
Now they're in the hundredth place of percentages
Prolly the best iteration of the GS parry if I'll be honest
I was helping someone with HR keys and was RIPPING through the 4 area apexes
They had no shot!
None!
Cause I smacked that shit aside with my big fuck off sword!
icy stump
Man I hope akantor and ukanlos show up and Akantor weapons all have Bludgeoneer/ minds eye 3 baked in
I feel like Akantor weapons with bludgeoneer and new Minds eye could go hard as hell tbh
toxic brook
icy stump
Partbreaker vs the cephalopods sounds awesome ngl
desert geyser
I'm honestly too afraid to even be in the bigger lobbies cause I feel like my laptop will blow up, so I just don't join them
So I can't really say on that matter, but I would assume 4 person lobbies are more fun
Or maybe like 8 person lobbies idk
icy stump
The best part of big lobbies is getting a whole group of like 20 or so to do the prance emote
By doing it yourself and waiting
icy stump
Bruh I was aura farming on zoh shia ass today
On the attack we're it throws up da rocks and does the turbo toaster roasted amped by those I played hella foozies with the fire sitting just outta range bonking him
But the most disrespectful thing was me rolling into the normal toaster roaster at just perfect timing to iframe the last bit of the move to proc adrenaline rush while simultaneously getting a extra bit of opening to wail on him
feral jackal
I got four perfect blocks in a row against Zoh Shia explosions and I’m standing here like
“Try again bitch”
clear frigate
Would yall say Monster hunter world would be a good starter game?
sharp cedar
yeah
wilds is probably better
but if you want to get into the series as a whole world would be better
clear frigate
Yeah cuz rn I don't have enough money for Wilds but I do have enough for world
icy stump
Personally I'm in the rise camp
sharp cedar
which is like an entire games worth of content
icy stump
But you do what you want
sharp cedar
i think i like fighting zoh shia more than arkveld
rancid grove
i think i like fighting zoh shia more than arkveld
same
sharp cedar
it feels more satisfying
still hard or maybe harder but it feels better than arkveld
arkveld feels frustrating but not hard
rancid grove
zoh shia has insane damage (which is a given considering it was made to stop fatalis) but doesn't feel cheap
arkveld looks like it defies the universal rules lol
sharp cedar
insane reach that doesn't seem like it should reach, good attacks thats got weird timing to it while also hitting multiple times, a actually good grab
its a solid design but it feels like it was made to be frustrating
icy stump
arkveld feels frustrating but not hard
So real honestly
icy stump
insane reach that doesn't seem like it should reach, good attacks thats got weir...
This combined with hitboxes that are weird
Like moves that feel like they should hit earlier dont
Or moves that need to be blocked weird
Like the hook swing he does I think needs to be blocked backwards case the hitbox goes around your hunter
Unless of course you're far enough back, in which case you gotta block it foward
Honestly I've given up blocking it and just throw my sword into it now
Much better really
feral jackal
I’d argue Rise is better to start because the combat can be a little more engaging and the game can be more “get up and go”
icy stump
True
Rise is faster than world
Wilds is also surprisingly fast, (moreso on quest completion time than actual in game speed) but it's still pretty fast
It's kinda funny cause id argue some things the monsters do in wilds feel like rise-isms
heady goblet

So what's y'all's takes on wilds now that the games been out for a bit?
rare knot
Cool, but also damn
icy stump
The lows
Are pretty low
heady goblet
GU my beloved
icy stump
Low rank kinda sucks if you wanna play with friends cause of the dogshit plot they make you sit through
(seriously the cutscene/ride bird dog whilst getting monologued at shit should not be there what the hell)
rare knot
Yeah I still can't believe they did that shit
I haven't played but I would have a hard time sticking around for that shit
icy stump
And I'm really mad like 95% of the plot is mid shit I couldn't give a damn about, while the last like 5% is actually really fucken cool world building
rare knot
How's the late game tho?
icy stump
That and the big lobbies are a double edged sword
icy stump
How's the late game tho?
Fine
It's nice being able to go out and hunt to your heart's content on every map
rare knot
I gotcha lol
I hope the g rank really lays it down. I also hope they make HBG fun again
icy stump
The big lobbies let you bang out quests fast
rare knot
Though I doubt that'll happen
heady goblet
HBG is kinda wack I won't lie
rare knot
HBG looks unbelievably boring
heady goblet
But then again Pierce is on top so we're so back
icy stump
But you don't have much social interaction, it's all basically just hunts
rare knot
I'm sure it's still good. But like, no siege mode?
heady goblet
Not yet
icy stump
Yeah I never got that
rare knot
Also the ammo reworks, like having infinite default ammo types, really bothers me.
heady goblet
I hope we get Gogmazios as the big siege
rare knot
Call me a gatekeeper, but to me, the tradeoff of gunner weapons being good was having to spend all the time and money building for the right ammo types, and then crafting and buying those ammo types
heady goblet
Yep
icy stump
Being unable to bind run and guard to the same input or not being able to turn off radial menus sucks ass
rare knot
Having all ur important ammo by default is kinda dumb
heady goblet
Along with lower defenses
rare knot
Why would they remove the thing that differentiates HBG and LBG
That too. Ever since world HBG just feels like a worse LBG
icy stump
It'd be so fucking simple to make run and guard the same input and then just make RT focus strikes
rare knot
Rise at least kinda brought seiging back
heady goblet
Which HBG having natural shield kinda blasts to shreds
rare knot
Yeah that's kinda dumb too
icy stump
Also lowkey
I feel like these monsters were designed by the portable team with how big their attacks can be
Which admittedly can be kind of annoying if you got a normal evade cause this stuff does not feel designed for this
Granted I grabbed the rath set which got retooled into a evasion based set which makes it more my speed but still
i want a apology from all the mainline team fans who said rise was too anime, fucken both raths got deviant ass moves in wilds
And it's not just them!
heady goblet
I feel like these monsters were designed by the portable team with how big their...
They were designed by the Frontier team
icy stump
Doesn't frontier kinda expect you to have evade skills ?
heady goblet
Which makes it even more PEAK RAAAAAAAAH
heady goblet
Doesn't frontier kinda expect you to have evade skills ?
Evade Window was mandatory, yeah
icy stump
Oh also skills
icy stump
Evade Window was mandatory, yeah
Figures
I feel like the roll in rise/wilds is too stubby
Like rise at least you have the bugs at default but still
icy stump
Oh also skills
Splitting armor and weapon skills i don't think is a bad idea conceptually, I just think the execution is kinda meh in wilds
heady goblet
Yeah
icy stump
Cause the way I saw it initially was weapons got flat buffs
Armors got conditionals or QoL skills
Which honestly
Not a bad idea
Why the fuck are literally all the guard skills on weapons
Both guard and guard up are QoL skills
And offensive guard is a conditional
Why the hell isn't bludgeoneer/minds eye armor skills? They're conditional effects
I could go on through and point out weird outliers
It just doesn't feel like consistent logic
Also personally I feel like bringing 2 of the same weapon type should give you some kind of buff
heady goblet
Would be interesting
icy stump
I think a fun idea is making it so whatever skills are innate to the weapons themselves (not decos) get applied to both weapons no matter what
Granted
That'd prolly just become artisans bringing extra weapons as a stat stick
But still
You'd have some extra build variety, but not so much it's op
heady goblet
I'm gonna be real I think weapon decos and skills should apply to both because I want to have more skills on my build
Just because I think it would be really broken
icy stump
I'm gonna be real I think weapon decos and skills should apply to both because I...
Fair but that'd prolly be too good
Also
Entirely personal gripe here
heady goblet
Fair but that'd prolly be too good
That's why I want it
icy stump
I'm made we don't have a weapon that can use bludgeoneer really well yet
Cause this is arguably the best game for it
Best I can get rn is the G.Dogoshuma GS with Minds eye3 bludgeoneer 3 and a lvl of Crit eye to offset (heh) the -20% affinity
Is it too much to ask to get a weapon with 270-80 raw and innate green? Without needing to spend like half the fight grinding off my blue sharness
heady goblet
Apparently
icy stump
Please
Please say someone leaked Akantor
I need my like 250 raw, innate green, 45% affinity slab of scales
Honestly for later updates to this game I hope we get armor skills that give flat buffs, that come with downsides
Like a skill that buffs raw by like 10% at max rank, but doubles sharpness consumption etc
desert geyser
So what's y'all's takes on wilds now that the games been out for a bit?
My opinion is the same tbh. Should have been left in the oven for at least 6 more months. Also, if the portable team making the games means we never have to go through a story mode like that ever again, then I hope the mainline team never cooks again for that sake.
dire bison
Does the kid really say some shit

You will never not see me crap on Wilds story. Like that genuinely made me think "Yeah I'd rather do hw" on the 2nd day of release. High rank saves it, but it still feels incomplete
icy stump
Does the kid really say some shit
Yes
||I don't care you relate to the monster being chained to fate or whatever. IT. MURDERED. YOUR. FAMILY. YOU. DUMB. CHILD!!!||
||AND ITS GOING INSANE, OF FUCKING COURSE IM GONNA KILL IT||
||# ITS MY FUCKING JOB NAME, DESCRIPTION, AND TITLE!!!||
The coolest parts of this game are the lore expansions/implications
Hence the cool 5% of the plot
sharp cedar
Does the kid really say some shit
yeah he says "I heard from the others" and then just talks about materials
its just a line he repeats when you get near him
dire bison
||# ***ITS MY FUCKING JOB NAME, DESCRIPTION, AND TITLE!!!***||
ok but have you tried being a monster lover instead?
icy stump
Like genuinely the plot is like 90% random shit that's a throwaway line in any other good MH, but here its extrapolated to several minutes of exposition
Then you have the The end of the plot starting with the revelation ||oh shit! Artificial monster made by the ancient civilization! Neat!||
||IS THAT THE EQUAL DRAGON WEAPON?!?||
||AND ITS PART FATALIS?!? THE FUCK?!?||
And then it's over
The plot is cool for the last like 5 minutes
dire bison
ok but what about the chill little guy
icy stump
And of course the cool part isn't explicitly rammed down your throat via 20 minutes of exposition it's shown in gameplay
||guardians don't eat or sleep or nothing, they recharge at those wylk pools||
||And the EDW being part fatalis thing is shown entirely through gameplay||
And thats cool!
Unfortunately every thing else in the plot is just there to annoy you and artificially expand the games LR length
My favorite characters are the wud wuds because they have a certain "head empty" energy I respect
icy stump
Pog thanks

While this is 100% true imo it's way better than "complete x quests on the board but we aren't gonna tell you which you need"

I'm at like
90~ affinity after Wex with my current build
Got CB 5 too
It's actually insane how big a damage boost it is
icy stump
I got adrenaline rush/counterstrike/EW/EE/Constitution on my build all maxed with attack boost and focus on a artisan GS
heady goblet
This is gonna sound weird
But I felt like I was getting more out of Focus 1 than Focus 3
icy stump
And the fact I can kill most everything in 5 minutes ish with that unoptimal ass build I think says a lot about this game
Honestly I can see it
Well tbf
heady goblet
Granted
icy stump
Focus 1 is a whole 10% iirc and 3 is only 20%
icy stump
So its deminishing returns
icy stump
Huh
heady goblet
Which is insane
icy stump
Well
I could see it
Gonna take that into consideration
And try it
How do you hit 90% affinity? Just stack WeX/MM/Foray(?)
heady goblet
Antivirus increases the amount too
icy stump
Ngl I think AT Reys set might be really good
heady goblet
Gives it an additional 15%
heady goblet
It's really consistent
icy stump

Negates the dot and even out heals it

Honestly though I can kinda see Rey Daus gamma set being really good if it has good slottage
heady goblet
I'm looking forward to seeing the drip
icy stump
Cause I feel like that 50% from latent power could be really strong in this game
Cause it's now the arguable best overall Crit skill on paper
Cause you get 2 really nice benefits at the cost of a bit of a annoying activation
Actually
I just realized latent power reduces stamina depletion by 50% at max
Idk how it stacks with Constitution
But if they're additive to each other that's infinite stamina
Which there fore means max might is always procced
And even if it isnt
Cutting stamina consumption by 1/4th is great for the leeway the skill gives you in maintaining it
Meaning that'd be 80% CC
From there you either gem in agitator or Foray or Smth and get to go nuts
Hell if you're willing to take a hit to latent powers duration and run the reydau 2 piece bonus you can get Gores for easy 100% crit

You're gonna have to explain this to me
His shit fucky
He has an attack you have to block backwards if you're too close to him
We haven't had Smth like that since like Kush
And a lot of his moves feel weird to interact with
heady goblet
Which attack is that, the one where he does the flip while dragging the chains on the ground?
icy stump
Nah the one where he hooks it back
Then swings it like a scythe
If you're too close he crosses yo shit
heady goblet
Can't say I've ever had that happen
icy stump
Then there's the wide drag which has weird timing on when the hitbox comes out
icy stump
Can't say I've ever had that happen
I've had it happen a shitton to me personally
heady goblet
In the like, 50~60 hunts I've done I can't say I've had that move hit me from behind

icy stump
I got like 10 ish offsets vs tempered arkveld
(idk if the game counts the parries without knockback as a offset or nah)
I'm guessing nah cause it felt like way more than 10
Like I was parrying fucken everything
Feeling fucken great
Try to roll in cause it was attacking a teammate
It did its nuke and died cause I tried to block it
I couldn't roll it again cause if I rolled back or sideways the chain explosion followup would get me, I roll forward I don't think (?) Id've had enough time to dodge the initial kaboom
And I don't think I had enough time to put my weapons away and superman
So I got checkmated
sharp cedar
maybe you needed guard up
icy stump
Nah like I blocked it
But the just sheer chipp damage murdered me
I was at like full HP too
Also I think the explosions are like the final bosses super double arm slam, where it's in essence a unblockable cause if you block it fowards the follow up explosion crosses you up
Speaking of that dickhead
The toaster roaster into double charged fireball is evil ass work
The two of them doing about 50% each is devious cause if you overextend you have to worry about not getting comboed
Cause I don't think the roaster gives you HKD invuln
I swear this game has like a loop to it
I start playing, style on everything, feels peak
Get railroaded by some wack ass shit right before I get off
Get pissed
It's scarily consistent at this point
Like yesterday it was 2 crashes into server maintenance

Like genuinely I feel like valor compliments old MH really well
Cause like
It encourages you to play aggressive
But you have to be used to playing old MH to play it well
And that's on pretty much any weapon

I played a little bit of rise though, just finished the village quests

Yeah rise is easier cause it has more QoL

i'm digging the mh gameplay loop so far tho
kill big monster, make badass weapon
repeat
icy stump
Yep
Genuinely you can count the amount of large monsters they didn't bring back on like 2 hands
(not counting subspecies)
heady goblet
Valor admittedly has a steeper learning curve
Idk I think they have roughly the same learning curve imo
Like
Sure there's more stuff in Valor movesets
But Adept requires more in depth monster knowledge
icy stump
Nah id beg to differ
Cause like
Adept you just kinda got a know when to roll
Valor you gotta understand monster patterns better to optimize valor mode upkeep the most efficiently
Also going back to GU and I saw a surprising amount of alchemy users online
Others have woken up to justice
heady goblet
Sure you might only need to know the roll timing to play Adept but then you just end up trading down something with 40 times your health and you aren't even able to access like 40% of your damage in the follow ups
floral flume
it's fun being able to zip around and stuff
heady goblet
Factual
icy stump
Yeah that's a risism
Peak
Not as peak as GU tho
Valor GS got that SCHMOVEMENT
Peak GS STILL
heady goblet
I'm sorry Unga but offsets are just too good
floral flume
damn bruh this game is just giving me free platinum eggs
i just saved myself 150 bucks
heady goblet
Ah, the dlcs?
heady goblet
I gotta slow down
Yeah, I'd recommend not over relying on what they gave you, a lot of people tend to neglect item collection once they see everything they get
heady goblet
Nah dawg they ain't *that* good
True, they're even better
icy stump
Naaaaaah
floral flume
Yeah, I'd recommend not over relying on what they gave you, a lot of people tend...
I was just about to say it lowkey feels like cheating
icy stump
Offsets are too inconsistent imo
Valor style is incredibly consistent
There are times where you land like 5 offsets back to back and it's goated
heady goblet
I was just about to say it lowkey feels like cheating
It's not cheating, but it can become a sort of noob trap if you neglect a lot of the systems the game presents
icy stump
But then there are times where the offset just ends up getting you hit cause you didn't get the HKD or you barely missed the hurtbox or Smth like that
heady goblet

icy stump
GS' covers like 200 degrees
I've gotten some reversal ones and felt like a badass
heady goblet
But the inconsistent results from the parry?
It works like a status Unga, it's like power clashes, and also some moves just don't give the topple I'll admit it's really weird
Also hitting offset gives a TCS if you're doing it at the right times but don't get the topple
icy stump
I mean yeah but then you get nailed by a followup
heady goblet
Unga, do you really think "the right times," includes when you're gonna get nailed by a follow up?
icy stump
I mean yeah but it's way more multi leveled than MH normally is
It feels more complicated than nessesary
heady goblet
Idk, I feel like that just makes it better
icy stump
Frankly I would rather have just a parry that's consistent in what it gets you
heady goblet
There are only two outcomes for an offset Unga
And sure
1 outcome would be better
But I feel like the fact that there is two outcomes makes offsets more engaging and interesting all in all
heady goblet
Fuck you mean not really
There's topple and no topple
And fucking up but we don't count those
icy stump
The freebie TCS (cause you have a opening) and a non freebie TCS scenario (no opening)
That plus the Big knockback is 3 different scenarios
Honestly I think it'd be cool if we could go right back into another upswing on offset tbh
heady goblet
You kinda can
heady goblet
Just gotta hit a roll or block cancel
icy stump
You could roll cancel yeah
heady goblet
But I get what you mean
icy stump
Or hell
Lemme do the dash followup even if I don't get the knockback
That'd be awesome
Especially if you get to control where you go
That'd enable some valor GS Esque snipage via evasive swings

GU is old mhs Greatest hits but it's kind of clunky to start (and it's on switch)
World has a good roster (at least including Iceborne) and is a safe bet gameplay wise but the MR expansion (iceborne) has a kind of wack balance to it (monsters aren't really that much harder than base game, it's just they have a shitton more HP and your two main ways of offsetting that is a war or attrition or using the wackass clutch claw mechanic to weaken monster parts to get faster kills, the thing is annoyingly jank tho)
Rise has a better base roster and it only gets better in SB, and is notably faster than both of the other games I mentioned, but that speed is kind of a double edged sword for some
Oh also rise and GU have moveset customizations on a per weapon basis for more replay value
GU has 6 styles per weapon (each style having a hyper specific focus) with each weapon getting 4 unique hunter arts to use (not all at once cause amount of usable arts depends on style)(arts being supers basically) and there being a bunch of universal hunter arts aside from the weapon exclusive ones, and rise gets 3 (5 in SB) switch skill slots, which essentially let you fine tune your moveset
desert geyser
and dont wanna buy the newest one, because
Don't buy the newest one anyways, it ain't worth 70 bucks tbh. But yeah, GU and rise are good starts
Also after playing rise for a bit last night, I got that feeling of "dam, it's 2AM already?" So I'm glad I got that joy from it
I really wish I could say the same for wilds, but I just can't
icy stump
Wilds/world are fun but it's just not as fun as the portable team games
I feel like the mainline team sacrificed some fun factor for mass appeal too much in their last 2 outings but that's just my opinion
desert geyser
Agreed

Huh, that's odd

I had my awakening to justice moment today in GU
Moonbreaker 1+both absolute evades makes alchemy goated
Cause moonbreaker 1 essentially has a S cool down when set as a sp art, but since it's classed as a M cool down art you get the longer SP mode
That and the two evades give you plenty of room to work
That and the full bloodbath load out with a evade dist +6 000 really makes it goated
Cause bloodbath in a ironic twist is actually obscenely good for alchemy
Between the arts boost on dev weapon and the set naturally getting composed
And the evade/attack skills really help pick up in the damage department (what alchemy mostly lacks)
heady goblet

it's cool that this series makes you feel like one from time to time, no matter the weapon you use

Y'know the more I think about it the more I like GU styles conceptually
Particularly valor and Alchemy, cause they have a really interesting dichotomy
Valor lets you rip the monster several new ones with excessive violence when you lock in with the gauge and everything, but it holds your head down in the dirt if you don't and you flounder about
Meanwhile alchemy is content letting you faf about and play passively, but when you lock in you turn essentially all of that singular can of whoop ass you'd have with valor into team support that's incredibly potent if it can be properly maintained and utilized
Its a very interesting dichotomy

I was so ready to go gettem at the start of the event and was thoroughly disappointed
Now I'm just kinda in a perpetual state of "eh" when it comes to wilds
I'll prolly go smack him around to get the armor set (cause event quests suck and are time limited for some reason) and then I'll go back to GU

I'm honestly just waiting for when wilds has a lot more to do cause I feel like I'll just burn myself out otherwise.
Meanwhile the 2nd rise playthrough has been a blast and helped resparked my love for mh
floral flume
rise being my first mh game got me feeling blessed ngl
hard to believe it gets any better than this
desert geyser
hard to believe it gets any better than this
You should definitely play gu
Might not have all the same freedom of movement as rise does, but that's part of the charm with the old mh games
icy stump
Man I knew wilds was inherently DMC coded
Wilds straight up fucken just took DMCs parry system
And I ain't talking no royal guard, I'm talking dat weapon on weapon hitboxes colliding shit
Thusly I've come to the conclusion wilds has potential to become the most fucking goated monster Hunter in the G rank update assuming they:
-give every weapon a offset
-give the weapons that have them already more
-give more varied options off a successful parry
-and make the monsters more aggressive but also let them be readable
Like MFers should get explicit offset reaction counter attacks I can then learn to counter attack in varied ways
I came to this conclusion watching this video
Like GS should have a reverse beat offset sorta system
Any charge attack can offset, but the amount of charge you need to offset varies on the weapon charge
Like for example a normie swing needs lvl3
Strong needs 2
TCS only needs one
With the rising effectively having it at lvl 0
Genuinely Wilds MR has potential to be the best MH game if they lock in

Yeah same. It ran okay but was really rough looking
I think that bothered me more than the frame rate. All the browns and greys really mesh together and make the game unreadable

The fireballs are my main issue. He constantly flies around and nukes me. I can dodge perfectly fine but that also means never getting a hit in

It's weird, it doesn't seem like it's determined by wing damage or resistance to flash bombs. It's just a coin toss.
