but its still different than normal and its pretty cool

sharp cedar
they got a slinger, clutch claw, knife attacks like a mount so the weapon finishers too, they got dodging including just swimming normally, and then they got the debris that you can drop on him
its a small arena but that the fight is still a cool way to finish the hunt off
they even give you a reall cool cutscene for when you beat him in the water

heres the finisher but don't watch if you want to see for yourself later on
icy stump
Do you always kill him underwater or nah?
Cause that's cool if he has a unique underwater kill, but at the same time I really really wanna have him Be HP gated to always run away to the water when hes about to keel over
Also ngl this makes me really think for the MR expansion we're gonna have a primarily underwater focused new area with proper water combat coming back
This reeks of testing the water (heh) for that sorta thing

Layered weapons is awesome tho
I can have a 100% accurate Dante look with the nu udra GS as the sparda stand in
Oh also the lagi GS
Lagi GS with the rath Set is peak cinema
Probably gonna use the Steve GS now mechanically tho cause bladescale
sharp cedar
Do you always kill him underwater or nah?
Sorry I didn’t see your message
No you don’t kill underwater, this just forced him out of water where your forced to capture
Atleast the story quest
Normally, you can probably kill in water but if you don’t kill it will just force him out of the water
sharp cedar
Is it just me or does the lagiacrus fight suck fucking balls
I thought it was fun, did you just think it was underwhelming
neon pecan
I thought it was fun, did you just think it was underwhelming
I mean, only slightly so, my problem is that Lagi goes through a cycle of 6-7 attacks before giving you a miniscule opening to deal damage
The fight takes 5 business days to end

Ah ok
Can you do enough damage to kill him before he hops in he water?

I get it, the lightning has like multi hits, I think it took my around 20 minutes but I kind of enjoy that so it’s probably just a me thing
heady goblet
And I have shit I'll be doing today
sharp cedar
The best time I can attack is when he does the bites and the tail swipes
Those are pretty good time to offset
The lightning attacks I just shoulder tackle for the single hit ones but then just wait it out for the multihit ones
You’re probably supposed to get a charged slash then do a guard to block both hits
“Probably”
neon pecan
Did you offset him?
What is there to offset most of his attacks are projectiles or aoe explosions
heady goblet
Probably that one lunge they showed Lagi doing in the trailer
icy stump
Yeah
heady goblet
I don't think he actually had a single physical attack in the older games so this is a big step up
icy stump
He does, it's just the orbs are more prolific
Ngl I'm gonna miss adept GS for this lmao
heady goblet
I don't think I ever saw them then
It was always wait out the first aoe
Get a single hit in
Then bam
The second aoe has dropped a random
icy stump
Wazzit he has a bite, a body check and the super slide

I literally never saw them

And like, once I do buy the extra clamps in the store I'm literally not gonna have anything else to spend the aurelus on lmao
Guess I'll grind up and prep for the next time the event comes around then lol

That's pretty nice
icy stump
On one hand I can't blame the mainline team cause they're the team that introduces new concepts with portable refining them usually so arguably it makes sense for their games to be rough around the edges
But at the same time I feel like mainline has got their heads up their asses tryna make a triple AAA game that appeals to everyone, but in doing so sacrifices some of the MH spirit in a sense and leaves longtime players kinda lukewarm on their recent games
That's been my experience anyways
heady goblet
I mean yeah, that's what's been happening
icy stump
First time playing wilds and world I was like "man this shit awesome!"
But then after I beat the game I get annoyed by it
heady goblet
Mainline kinda biffs it, portable team drops the second coming of peak
icy stump
Except wilds was simultaneously ass and peak mid run
When the game works, it's fucken awesome
When it doesn't or it actively takes me out of the game loop (walking sim cutscenes for a plot I couldn't care less about) it's so fucken ass
I really hope offsets at the very least come back, would love to have those in a better game, especially if they combine offsets with styles
Like imagine Adept GS, but the running upswing is also a offset attack
heady goblet
How would styles interact with offsets you think?
Do you think trading offsets for other defensive and offensive utilities would be good?
icy stump
Or valor LS but the valor parry is the offset, at the cost of no parries period till you hit valor mode
Make some Hunter arts offsets
Fucken
Make alchemy fireball a offset
heady goblet
Like say losing offsets for cracked perfect guards or guard points
icy stump
Do you think trading offsets for other defensive and offensive utilities would b...
I think yeah that's the idea
Or making offsets tied into the weapons style identity in some way
Like adept GS loses the normal offset rising swing, but gains the adept offset run rising swing
Hell it'd be a fun way to make niche styles better
heady goblet
Or losing both offsets and guarding for running with the weapon out
I feel that'd be a fair trade actually
heady goblet
Maybe also losing part of the moveset actually
icy stump
Like alchemy style is all about team support yeah?
Make it's so SP lvl 2 guarantees the monster gets super staggered off a offset, and give alch weapons all extra offsets/better offsets
Like alchemy's 2 biggest weaknesses are it's reliance on arts to be defensive (unless you're just goated like that and bring 3 attacks anyways like a Chad) and how slow it is to build alch gauge
Imagine for a second a MH game where alchemy style gains a full bar pip of alch gauge per offset, or even half a bar pip per offset
Itd make alchemy a genuine contender
Even with maxed 3 SP arts per weapon and such if you were goated with offsets and were good with your weapon you could build up to alch cheer way faster than before
Hell you could make it so alch weapons and valor weapons are kind of inverses to each other
Like valor gauge Generally is easiest to build up to when the monster is knocked down because the monster can't interrupt meter build combos or whatnot and when the monster is knocked over you can really rip into em with enhanced valor combos, you have the better evades in valor and the sheathe universally as a way to play around the monsters aggression as needed, but ideally you never need to. valor is ultimately a sort of glass canon style, it's really strong but you have to know what you need to do to ensure you're gameplan doesn't get interrupted so you can get knockdowns and cash out with DMG.
What if alchemy was the inverse of that, focusing on railroading the monster, at the cost of bad DPS on knockdown and in general?
So hypothetically on GS youd have something like Offset rising slash as your basic Charge attack (no tackle/evade available), A as your normal round slash or strong round slash if dome after another move (locked at strong wide lvl 2 str like in GU), and then for the X+A you have Offset rage slash (the idea being it's weaker than normal rage slash but it lets you get hit to buff the DMG and then hit the monsters hitbox to properly offset them)
But that's it for moves
Your max damage is less because the offsets are generally weaker then normal moves (especially on HKD because you lose all your best damaging options) but your ability to railroad the monster with more offsets with varied uses is unparalleled and you get the support benefits of alch style on top
Comparatively youd Probably have to either nerf weapons damage a bit in alch (or just buff other styles more) but it'd be a fun idea to make a style that on paper does less damage but really supports the team both with straight up support and railroading potential
Hell thinking about it more I think making valor style not have any offsets period, and instead focus on more so playing around attacks with extra aggression/mobility is a fun idea to make it even more of a glass canon
desert geyser
So was the game optimized by any chance? I haven't played the update yet
icy stump
Allegedly there were somethings
neon pecan
Lowkey I don’t actually wanna play Wilds anymore
Gave Lagi another shot
Just such a shit fight
That paired with performance still being dogwater and the game looking like shit to boot
I just can’t do this anymore
icy stump
The wilds effect 
desert geyser
So I haven't played it yet, but I heard there was walking cutscenes.... So like... Do they not see all of the reviews saying we hate walking cutscenes?
icy stump
But the plot
Don't you care about the deep plot they made
In the multiplayer game I'm supposed to be able to jump into with my friends as I want
desert geyser
Honestly, as much as I want to keep up hope and believe that the expansion will fix it
I think I just won't get it
Whenever it comes out
icy stump
Maybe if it goes for like turbo sale in like, a year or so
desert geyser
Though I could be wrong. Portable team got rid of rampage in the expansion, so maybe mainline team will listen by the time the expansion comes out, right???
icy stump
I mean they heard the complaints in base world and doubled down twice on the cutscenes
desert geyser
You're so right nvm
icy stump
Do I doubt it on that front
desert geyser
You know
This gives me time to finish iceborne, then move on to frontier
Since it'll be a long while till portable team makes a banger game.
icy stump
Next year trust
desert geyser
That sounds awfully short
icy stump
I hope its on everything at launch and has crossplay
desert geyser
I hope its on everything at launch and has crossplay
Now that would be awesome
If it's a switch 2 exclusive, I'll cry
icy stump
I could see them doing switch 2 exclusive launch for like half a year then universal port or Smth, with crossplay
desert geyser
I could see that too
icy stump
That or skip that and have it on everything everything
icy stump
Honestly having it on switch 2 would be great cause that effectively limits the game to have to run on last gen hardware
icy stump
That means
A. Way more people could get it
B. We won't have to deal with this AAA "Oh look at all mah graphics" bullshit
icy stump
I prefer a cartoonish artstyle over high fidelity any day
High fidelity fades with time, style is forever
desert geyser
High fidelity fades with time, style is forever
Honestly
I'd be down just to have old gen style back
desert geyser
Like I know some people will shit on it for that, but I don't care. That was peak
icy stump
Being able to climb everything is awesome
icy stump
Rise was great cause it feels like the open map concept was actually realized there
icy stump
Like I can get to areas either the normal pathways or by cutting through sub areas
World and Wilds are both designed like old MH maps with specific connections
Wilds is just way better at hiding it cause the maps are huge, and wide areas bleed into each other
desert geyser
Personally I feel like Wilds does a worse job at it cause of sekreits
You can't get to some places without them
icy stump
Oh yeah the seikret exclusive shortcuts should not be seikret exclusive
desert geyser
Which really made it feel limited
icy stump
Or at least some shouldnt
desert geyser
Like in world yeah I noticed that same problem, but it wasn't nearly as bad
Still felt natural
Also should wall running stay? I personally enjoyed it
icy stump
Also the seikrets suck compared to the dog, cause unlike da dogs they don't dig teleport to you because "realism"
I'm reality that means you're outrunning your bird, but effectively losing time relative to rise in a similar manner
icy stump
Also should wall running stay? I personally enjoyed it
If they keep rise style maps certainly
Definitely would either retoolit tho depending on if wire bugs come back as movement tech
desert geyser
I'm thinking the alternative is climbing like botw, but a lot faster with mh climbing mechanics
icy stump
Like let us climb anything without stamina drain, bit have wall run use stamina if bugs aren't back
If bugs are back (even if as purely a movement around the map thing) keep it as is
To be entirely frank I'm hoping the next portable team game is a Gens sequel with modern stuff added in, it'd be so cool
icy stump
Hell you could make it so alch weapons and valor weapons are kind of inverses to...
Especially if they leaned into this sorta thing
Like they could pop the fuck off with it
Frankly most styles would just need small adjustments to account for new mechanics, the only two id really go out and say should prolly be altered are striker and alchemy cause I feel like those two step on each other's toes a bit (and guilds a bit)
And frankly all I'd really do is keep alchemy as the "super simple style with like 3 moves per weapon but with support capabilities" but make it so no matter what weapon they get offsets to play defensively and that lets them build the alch gauge faster, and then for striker Id say lean into it being a explicitly alternative playstyle for each weapon that gains 3 arts and faster art charge
These ranging from something as simple as the long tri poke for lance (as a funny reversal of GU) to Striker GL reintroducing the heat meter to enable higher slap lance damage, to GS getting its surge slash Moveset, and etc.
desert geyser
I would love to see that
icy stump
Hell they could go back and prolly integrate some buff arts into the main striker style itself, then if those arts come back for other weapons to use too have them get extra effects
Like make striker swagaxe have tempest axe on basically by default at all time
But then if you double up with tempest axe you get like, doubled bonus run speed in tempest axe and the big overhead swing finisher to the A mash combo becomes a holdable move where you keep spining around like a hammer spin
I mean shit they already kinda played with the idea back in GU with striker lance having faster startup on spiral thrust than the other styles
desert geyser
Now what to do about ariel style..... Just give them wirebugs for combat
icy stump
Nah great idea
We take the aerial focus strikes from wilds (yes those are a thing, highly context sensitive and a pain to actually hit) and we put them in, and since those reuse the old clutch claw tenderize animations we have them tenderize a part making it take more damage and makes mounting easier
This does 2 things
1, gives most aerial weapons more than literally just one option while airborne lmao
2. Gives it some really good tem synergy
Aside from that it's really just updating the moveset to be bigger too
Like hell give aerial GS hunters edge as a A attack for extra repositioning or smth
With it leading into the higher damage stab if you actually hit it
icy stump
Bruh I haven't even fought any lagi yet lmao

The highs are so high when you actually beat back the inconsistent jank and really lock in and get like a triple offset back to back or something, but everything else just feels like it drags you through the mud
Especially when you get in the groove of it and the game decides to just shit itself when you get on a roll

I'm pretty okay w where it's at rn
Sure, you might say it isn't engaging enough but it's literally js 5 minutes of a singular fight in the game
icy stump
I mean I have 2 opinions on it
The base version is ultimately fairly inoffensive and just kind of exists as a fun little reference I can play and go "ok neat"
The Tempered version I feel like really exemplifies the flaws with how it's implemented
Namely the fact how you're not really playing normal MH for that few minutes you're basically playing a mini game mid fight
Like the fact that the arguably best way to go about the water phase is to pregame lagi and wound him a bunch prior, then pop all the wounds in the water
That and needing to look away from the monster to get slinger ammo basically is really silly, considering it's like the main way to attack him
Like I wish there was a thing of helix slinger ammo outside the water you could grab prior to jumping in
analog osprey
That and needing to look away from the monster to get slinger ammo basically is ...
I mean you can js be like me and exploit every little opening
If you're quick ab it you can get in a weapon attack after everyone of his moves

hushed kelp
I'm more just amazed at how I misread that lol
sharp cedar
I'll be entirely honest I think world was easier than rise for most of it
i think for me, i didn't play a lot of rise mostly cause i just solo'd, but rise felt harder to level up in than world
i think a big thing is that greatsword felt bad in rise
atleast in the beginning
icy stump
And even then fatalis and alatreon feel about as hard as EX fights (hazards, lvl300/special investigations etc) in rise
Definitely feels like rise has a more natural difficulty curve too it, world kinda spiked with alatreon and fatty
icy stump
i think a big thing is that greatsword felt bad in rise
Honestly rise GS is weird cause if you play it like a normal GS it feels weird, but if you use wiredashes a lot it feels a lot better
Also surge slash
Feels really good to use in MR
The gameplay is noticably different but they nail how the weapon feels with it
icy stump
I know it has counters later in the game
Oh yeah strongarm
icy stump
And the alternate mode
That's surge slash
sharp cedar
But I just never got that far cause I never got used to wire bugs
heady goblet
How, Wire Bugs are dope
icy stump
I feel like Gen 5 GS almost kinda leaned too hard into the whole "just brute force your way into TCS" method with tackle and strong arm and all that, I feel like surge slash embodies that GS kind of mastery of knowing when you have openings to do big hits better, without relying on bullying your way through the monsters offense
I don't think I enjoy it as much as valor GS which in return for needing to fill a bar (which is quick and easy if you know when and where you can cheese in charged hits), gives you a dash strike to make more moves punishable, while also giving you a better dash to help set yourself up better
Like genuinely I don't think valor GS has been topped in terms of fun factor for GS
icy stump
I haven't used extreme in frontier so I can't comment about that, but id prolly put wilds at like even with surge slash at around #2 if I'll be honest
And to be frank I think it's entirely because wilds GS is jank as hell sometimes
It feels inconsistent
When it works you feel unstoppable
But then you'll have times where the moveset is being funky
Offsets feel great when they work, but the inconsistent nature of the stagger is weird and kinda annoying to play around
Focus strikes can be annoying when you're trying to pop something but your sword just doesn't register you hit the weak spot even though you dragged your sword over it (cause the hit detection on that is hyper specific ig)
And then there's the blocking
The blocking is ass in this game for GS in terms of actually stopping attacks
Like the fact that if I perfect block a attack me holding the button isn't enough to block a followup is absurd
Or how hyper specific they want you to be with blocking certain moves, like I feel like they genuinely reduced the effective block radius by a shitton
Which is annoying for something that is just about always a PANIC option
Also it kinda feels weird in some areas in-between doing a charge attacks sometimes I'll get this weird like pickup and walk animation when I'm tryna do a followup charge move which is kinda annoying cause idk what causes it
sharp cedar
I like blocking
But multi hits in general feel shit for gw in general
And I don’t think that’s just a guard thing
icy stump
Yeah that's what I mean
sharp cedar
I said in general in general lol
icy stump
Probably the most fun part of wilds GS is using the offsets backwards hitbox to parry something

So uh
I might be able to open the game and look at equipment right away again, so that's neat I suppose
I think from now on whenever I play this game I'm just gonna play it till it crashes lmao
Also I wish this games difficulty curve was consistent
It feels all over the place
You got the normal fights where I feel pretty confident with the fact I could probably sleep walk through 90% of them (minus new gore and HR zoh)
Most tempered mons are a little harder, some are extra hard (like tempered gore/akveld/hell even dahaad to a lesser extent), then there's Steve and lagi who feel almost like entirely different fights tempered that like spike the difficulty curve a shitton
I feel like this has been the mainlines team playbook since world and imma be frank I'm not a fan
It feels like they undercut 95% of the games difficulty to make the last 5% seem harder than it is
Cause ultimately Tempered lagi/gore aren't that much harder fight wise than the normal versions
It's literally just their HP is longer so you have to fight it longer, and the damage is so high you have a very slight margin of error
Id wager they feel harder than they are because the rest of wilds kind of lets you play sloppy and not punish you too hard for it, so when a fight that actually forces you to lock in on comes by it feels harder than it really is
Like that's arguably why alatreon and fatty felt really hard come the final updates of world borne
Alatreon had a multi faceted DPS check tied to elemental damage, a setup basically no one used on top of a fight you had to actually try on and fatalis was entirely a white knuckled ordeal between its high damage, high HP, and lowered quest time limit. also it's passive fps check that bites you in the ass in the final phase if you ignore it

"What if Zoh Shia turned good"
icy stump
The idea of zoh shia being a mini smol wholesome boi if it didn't have fatty genes is a fun mental image

Do we think Zoh has Gaismagorm in it
Cause of those

I always read that as more gore dna

Could also be
The way the hands looks js remind me a lot more of Gaismagorm

Cause I have a feeling shaggys absence is gonna play a big role in its TU whenever it drops
analog osprey
Ehhh
Idk
It might
Although I doubt it
U could is excuse his absence with the fact that every Gore is js killed before metamorphosis
Cause tbh
Gore isn't hard to track

Honestly
Give me a reason for Guardian Arkveld to come back
First off
That thing really had aura
Plus it's theme was soooo good
And I really enjoyed its fight
More than regular Arkveld

What the difference?
Like maybe I'm just way more used to fighting the base one but like what is it

Guardian Arkveld is a phase based fight
To an extent
And he has some more attacks than regular
Iirc

Oh so it has like the wylk phase and the dragon one

Yes

This is probably going to be the best thing to come out of this game
The MR dlc update should introduce Max0r as a NPC who goes on highly edited rants and monologues on your way to the new monsters to keep shit interesting
We can make the stupid fucking expodumping good we just need to get more stupid with it and juju on that beat

Took me 11 guesses cause I was admittedly kind of a dumbass
icy stump
Whaddya reckon is the ideal path to use to like guess monsters?
I'm thinking like plesi, rajang, stygian Zinogre, glavenus, malzeno cause that nails most the monster types/elements/weaknesses/generation, from there you could probably guess anything
Maybe swap plesi for a different Gen 1 monster cause piscene wyverns aren't terribly common
Then again plesi also has sleep which is some good coverage for possible ailments

I'm thinking li...
Just any really
I started by guessing monster type
Like flying wyvern, fanged beast
That narrows it down
Then generation/game
And I work down from there
icy stump
Right
But surely there's a optimal way to narrow it down more efficiently
I just realized the routing I posed entirely ignores flying wyverns, but they're such a big category arguably you don't really need to narrow that down
Cause like if it's none of the prior it's either a bird/flying wyvern/amphibian/or a leviathan
And odds are between those it's a flying wyvern most likely
