I think it'd be kinda boring to just do deviants again

sharp cedar
#

Zinogre, tigrex, deviljho, diaoblos, and nargacuga, calling it now they’re introducing a new biome for more gaurdians and these guys will be here

icy stump
#

One one hand it's cool theyve been incorporating deviant moves into the base movesets now, but in the same breath I'm not a huge fan cause it kinda makes deviants less unique ig?

heady goblet
#

I really wanna see what a too scale open Ruined Pinnacle would be like

icy stump
#

REAL

heady goblet
#

Ten actual minutes to the top

#

We gotta get y'all on Frontier

icy stump
#

Throw down some hidden great wire big patches to launch yourself up to the top lol

heady goblet
#

I was thinking the Seikret would just be goated

icy stump
#

I'm excited for the next portable team game tho

#

Honestly not a huge fan of the seikret

#

It feels counter intuitive to have sections that you need to ride it for to traverse

#

It feels like the old MH loading zones without any of the snappyness to it

heady goblet
#

?

#

No

#

Because you don't interact with monsters anywhere near the sections the Seikret takes you through

icy stump
#

Like you ride up a path for several seconds then arrive at your location and the process is pretty much fully automatic

heady goblet
#

And there are routes around them

sharp cedar
#

Besides actually fighting, what’s different about them from palamutes

heady goblet
#

You could drift Palamutes

icy stump
#

The palamutes weren't needed to get anywhere on the map

#

You could get everywhere by yourself

sharp cedar
#

Can’t you do that in wilds?

heady goblet
#

Unga, you can still do that in Wilds

sharp cedar
#

It’s just bigger so it takes longer

#

But you can take the shortcuts with the seikrat

heady goblet
#

For every route that actually requires a Seikret, there's 4 alternate paths that don't

icy stump
#

You have stuff like the Jin dahad arena where you need the birddog

#

Or that big central pillar in the ice area

#

Or the nuudra nest in the oil basin

heady goblet
#

I'm not 100% about Dahaad, but for Nu Udra there's definitely ways that don't require it

icy stump
#

Admittedly my problem is less with the dog itself and more with the map design itself

sharp cedar
#

It being too big

#

Cause those areas are just boss fight arenas

#

Which were there in world

icy stump
#

That and the way from area a to b is a straight line like the old MH games

#

Like it feels like to betrays the concept of "open map" if I have to take specific routes to get from area a to b

#

Something like rise feels like a proper use of the concept

#

I feel like Having a smaller more compact map that's fully traversable is the best iteration of that design concept

sharp cedar
icy stump
#

Like the jungle in old MH was ass to traverse because you had to loop around and it was weird and kinda unintuitive if you haven't played it enough

The jungle in rise is like my favorite map because you can cross over areas super fast and shit it's sick

heady goblet
#

We gotta get y'all on Frontier

sharp cedar
#

I mean In the end aren’t you just running for 15 seconds regardless of what game you play

icy stump
#

Not in rise

#

You can cut it down a lot

#

And in my opinion that's the big advantage of the open map design Wilds nor World utilizes to its fullest

sharp cedar
#

Are you talking about how you can climb stuff

icy stump
#

Yeah

#

Like the fact you can climb over the walls that separate areas to cut through faster is a great concept

analog osprey
#

what weapons do y'all recommend to play in TU4

#

i plan to play them all but i wanna hear pros and cons by people who played them already#

icy stump
#

WTF did tu4 even change

analog osprey
#

a lot of weapons got plenty of adjustments

#

mainly SwAxew

#

and i js havent played anything aside of lance really

#

out of 620 quests i played 540 with lance

icy stump
#

I barely touched other weapons in rise cause of the RT change

#

In wilds they don't give you a setting to make running and guarding the same input like world/rise doesn't and it makes me sad

#

Also you can't drop the radial dial at all

rare knot
#

GU EL NUMERO UNOOOOO

icy stump
#

WE STAY WINNING

sharp cedar
wide oyster
#

switch axe is the most broken but fun weapon ever

#

would recommend

#

they finally made doing things other than FRS good

#

running it with resentment makes the counter so broken

#

wilds is HR only

#

cut it some slack

heady goblet
#

I am not the person who originally sent or made the graphic

wide oyster
#

I'm aware

#

the game just has a lot less early monsters compared to rise

#

I think they went for quality over quantity

icy stump
#

It was mentioned earlier that guardian ark/basic biih ark werent treated as separate monsters but now I'm genuinely curious if the rest of the guardians were

#

At least the guardians with overlap

heady goblet
#

Who knows

icy stump
#

I don't think the small roster is bad per say but in the same breathe I don't think it's something thats paying the game any favors either

#

If this is the end of the "wilds new monster cycle" my opinion on it is simply that the core gameplay loop is fun, it's just everything around that loop is not fun

Like it's weird, comparing it to the last mainline teams base game outing world, I think the highs wilds hits are way higher, but the lows are at the same time practically underground.

#

Good news, next portable team game soon!

wide oyster
#

I find the new monsters to be fairly enjoyable

#

I think the only monster that felt particularly bad was omega

icy stump
#

See id agree with that

wide oyster
#

lagiacrus wasn't fun either, but I also hate the underwater phase

#

so maybe I'm not the best person to ask

icy stump
#

REAL

wide oyster
#

I really like gog

icy stump
#

No honestly I feel the exact same bout lagi

wide oyster
#

I farmed lagi enough for the good armor pieces and then never fought him again

icy stump
#

I prolly wouldn't hate the water phase nearly as much if I didn't have to fight tempered for a reasonable chance at the gem

heady goblet
icy stump
#

Water phase normally is like a harmless gimmick

#

Water phase in tempered is where runs go to die

wide oyster
#

at least

icy stump
wide oyster
#

but yeah

#

oh, Zoh was another great fight

#

was recycled from LR

#

but the HR version is very fun

#

too easy now though

icy stump
#

Zoh was a excellent fight

wide oyster
#

can't wait for AT

icy stump
#

My biggest gripe with him was you couldn't refight him consistently

#

And he had no gear for some fuckass reason

#

Same with LR jin

wide oyster
#

yeah

heady goblet
#

Y'all are not changing my mind about Lagi

wide oyster
#

I also don't like Seregios much tbh

#

didn't like it in rise either

heady goblet
#

I will speak the truth of it's dogshitness until the day I die

wide oyster
#

bleed isn't a fun mechanic

icy stump
#

Honestly Steve is fucken awesome in both those game imo

#

He's actually threatening in those two games

#

In Gen 4 he was death by a thousand cuts, but the cuts were super neglegable

#

Rise/wilds the cuts aren't neglegable and he actually has genuine kill shots now

heady goblet
#

Everything else is either an item or rolling to cure

#

But bleed makes you sit your ass down and pray you don't get slapped

#

Unless it's Frontier

#

I'm slandering rn Unga

#

Shut up

heady goblet
#

Not to mention the actual damage of bleed was increased in Frontier iirc

icy stump
#

Did the item work with free meal or nah

heady goblet
#

You weren't running Free Meal if you wanted to win hunts

icy stump
#

Isn't The skill economy in frontiers absurd anyways?

#

Like surely you could drop a skill level for free meal if the bleed is that bad

heady goblet
#

Monster health was massive, and some hunts time limits were 10 minutes

#

So you were stacking damage in order to maybe stay within the time limit

icy stump
#

Well in that case it sounds like bleed isn't even your main limiting factor there

heady goblet
#

Heroics was actually a really safe skill to run because of a charm that capped your health at heroics range

icy stump
#

Yeah at that rate you're better off not even going for self sustain at all

heady goblet
#

Yep

#

You just gap and kill

icy stump
#

Which means the three items to cure bleed seems not that bad cause either you kill the fucker in 5-10 min or you lose

heady goblet
#

Y'all should play Frontier

#

It's peak

#

Unironically

sharp cedar
heady goblet
#

It has Mouse and Keyboard controls

sharp cedar
#

Maybe it’s time

hushed kelp
#

I'm sorry, it's just everytime I see the name Seregios "Tokyo Drifts your prostate" just forces its way to the front of my brain

#

The biggest drawback to Wilds imo is the emphasis on cinematic realism, because it kinda gets rid of the fun aspects of video game limitations, and terrible optimization

#

While it's great I can watch the Palico who carted me back to camp run all the way back to the main camp, that doesn't really matter if my game crashes once it starts raining

icy stump
#

that

#

thats like my main gripe with the game

#

it goes as Triple A as it can and doesnt stick the landing

#

the forced plot that makes early game multiplayer a bitch? feels like its trying to be a FF game
the wide open areas with all the shit loaded in at once? causes the game to run like hell and or just outright shit its own pants

#

i would not care about these things if they at least were competrent but they simply arent, and each thing that doesnt work compunds on itself

#

the crashes become way more annoying when the time it takes to get back to where i was is artificially lengthened by the stupid plot idc about, the big open maps just end up enabling more expositional rambling idc about. then theres the fact that since the base game in wilds is so easy i barely feel like im even playing the game because ill have a 3-5 minute fight, then 10-15 minutes of exposition.

#

then theres the difficulty

#

the game is a flat line right above zero up to HR, then its a little harder, then with HR tempered 9stars it shoots up like a hundred fold

it is a difficulty step graph, and its not even like a interesting step graph. its literally "this monster is relatively normal and easy" to "same fightbut he oneshots you"

unless your name is omega wherein you have the MMO Role gimmick bullshit and the teamwipe DPS check

#

ngl i have no intent on buying whatever the G rank expansion for wilds is gonna be because i genuinely do not trust them to make a good product, because IB took a relatively alright game and just bloated it with a annoying gimmick that serves no real purpose aside from countering the bloat that purely exists to facilitate the gimmick (clutch claw). so imagining that kind of annoyance compunded by the bullshit in base wilds? nah im good

sharp cedar
#

this is a better chart than the other one

rare knot
hushed kelp
#

They'll bring back underwater fights

#

Lava fights too, fight Lavasioth underwater

analog osprey
#

Fighting Lavasioth underwater seems kind of contradictory

hushed kelp
#

Right, that's the term AnjiNotes

#

Fuck I didn't even notice what I said there lol

analog osprey
#

Lmaoo

#

But I do have we get more fleshed out underwater segments

#

Like

#

Idk

#

Caedus needs to come back

hushed kelp
#

Maybe Wilds players will get Abyssal Lagi again

analog osprey
#

Abyssal Lagi my beloved

#

Arguably up there with Stygian Zinogre for title of edgiest monster

#

But hey

rose bison
#

idk man, velkhana has a lot of sharp edges

#

or like, zamtrios when it has ice armor?

analog osprey
#

I mean if we're talking about literal edginess

rose bison
#

dalamadur does have a lot of edges true

#

ahtal ka is up there too

analog osprey
#

Narkakos could be a valid competitor too

#

Especially considering his arena

#

Freaky squid

#

I still don't fully grasp why Narkakos is deemed an elder dragon

#

Sure it's powerful and all

#

But overall an elder dragon is a monster that can have detrimental effects on the ecosystem

#

There are some off picks

#

But out of all of them Narkakos is the most confusing to me

rose bison
#

oh nergigante

rose bison
analog osprey
#

I mean it might js be like Yama or Kirin where they had no clue where else to put it

rose bison
#

they literally just dont know how it works

#

so its classified as elder dragon

analog osprey
#

Then again they did make an exception for Googoomagaga

#

And just slapped ??? on it to call it a day

rose bison
#

its just not an elder dragon

wide oyster
#

imagine if that was the actual reason

analog osprey
rose bison
#

nah most of the monsters are understood

analog osprey
#

I don't really think it's been explained why Rey Dau can use his horns as a railgun

#

And how it actually stored the lighting amp

rose bison
#

thats wilds

#

im not including wilds in this because wilds sucks

analog osprey
#

The fulgurite only conducts, it doesn't store

analog osprey
#

I mean it does have some pretty neat ecology

#

Just a lot of holes

rose bison
#

moreso its because everything i learned about monster ecology was before wilds came out

analog osprey
#

That's fair

rose bison
#

i also havent played wilds so idk about the new stuff

analog osprey
#

I like how diverse the game is with its Ecology, you have things Rey Dau, a walking Railgun that also is a living lightning rod

rose bison
#

i am interested in this rey dau stuff you have said tho

analog osprey
#

And then Uth Duna

#

Who's just a fish

#

With legs

#

But fat

rose bison
#

so like

#

the thing with thunder monsters is that the electricity is never conducted within them

#

there has to be something external

rose bison
#

im guessing rey dau just stores it in a thunder sac

analog osprey
#

But Rey Dau, in-game, gets struck by lightning and amps itself up

heady goblet
#

Yeah

analog osprey
#

Honestly out of all the elements, thunder monsters interest me the least

#

Mainly because I have a gripe with Zinogre and Kirin

rose bison
#

they interest me second most

#

dragon interests me the most

heady goblet
analog osprey
#

What do you mean his nose is a photon sword

heady goblet
#

He's just like that

rose bison
rose bison
rose bison
#

i know kirin is hated but zinogre is peak what do you not like

analog osprey
rose bison
#

you're wrong

rose bison
analog osprey
rose bison
#

sick design

heady goblet
#

Rey Dau may be the goat, but there is some genuine dogshit in Thunder

rose bison
#

try again

analog osprey
#

Then again

#

Not judging

rose bison
#

its a kirin

#

thats a sick design

analog osprey
#

Taste is subjective

heady goblet
#

Nah, you should judge him

#

He's stupid and smells bad or smtn

analog osprey
#

Who am I to judge if I play the, for some people, most bland weapon for a living

rose bison
#

i even have an explanation for why khezu is peak

analog osprey
#

I have no right to judge another

heady goblet
analog osprey
rose bison
#

or seen

analog osprey
heady goblet
rose bison
#

hes a cave leech and its peak

heady goblet
analog osprey
rose bison
#

okay but its frontier

analog osprey
#

Its just a Yian Kut ku with a taser

rose bison
#

they have like 50 more monsters than mainline

#

i dont think it should count

heady goblet
rose bison
#

its abysmal

heady goblet
analog osprey
#

I miss him

heady goblet
analog osprey
#

Might lowkey play Frontier again just for him

rose bison
#

anyways if you can name a single thunder monster that i have heard of and dont enjoy, i would be surprised

#

i dont think there is one

heady goblet
rose bison
#

most of my favorite monsters are thunder monsters even

#

namielle, zinogre, astalos, rey dau

analog osprey
heady goblet
analog osprey
#

The wiki says so

#

It uses the thunder element

rose bison
heady goblet
#

It's a monster hunter game

rose bison
#

its not mainline

heady goblet
#

That people actively play

rose bison
#

somehow

heady goblet
rose bison
#

those are mainline

#

im saying mainline as in, not a side game

heady goblet
#

They objectively aren't, but you don't have both regions of your brain active, so whatever

rose bison
#

no stories, no frontier

#

i dont understand why you keep trying to just insult me

analog osprey
#

Plus it was on my old PC regardless

#

Lmao

#

The wiki is really generous with who gets to be a thunder monster

#

Qurupeco

rose bison
#

the only things ive said that could be reasons for being insulted are just that frontier is bad and i like thunder monsters

heady goblet
rose bison
#

how could qurupeco be a thunder monster

icy stump
#

I think the subspecies had para?

rose bison
#

cause he can summon other monsters and they might be thunder?

icy stump
#

The basic one clacks his wings together for fire sparks

analog osprey
rose bison
#

para isnt thunder though

analog osprey
#

But still

rose bison
#

i wouldnt call volvidon a thunder monster

analog osprey
#

They count every Para inflicting monster on the wiki apparently

analog osprey
icy stump
#

Man

rose bison
#

its like counting blast as fire

analog osprey
#

I js checked

rose bison
#

a lot of blast monsters do also have fire tbf but some dont

icy stump
#

Whyd we get gypceros in wilds

We could've had the funny summoner chicken instead of the bastard flash bang chicken

rose bison
#

anyways wiki stupid

analog osprey
rose bison
#

he doesnt

rose bison
#

hes got the element of fist

#

and rocky training montage

heady goblet
analog osprey
#

I want to reexperience that first time fighting Raging Brachy in IB

analog osprey
#

I miss the genuine terror I felt when he cut off the arena

rose bison
#

you are taking this way too seriously

heady goblet
#

Crazy shit, Blondsloth

rose bison
#

my opinion that every thunder monster is peak is not like an objective statement that can be proben wrong

analog osprey
rose bison
#

i can shift the goalposts cause its my opinion

analog osprey
#

Who else would Nerscylla skin if not for rubber chicken

rose bison
#

if i havent heard of a monster then why would it be included

rose bison
#

love that monster

analog osprey
#

Fuck the Clone Nerscylla from the Omega fight tho

rose bison
heady goblet
rose bison
#

old mh is not for me

icy stump
#

Just say they ate all the gypceros

analog osprey
icy stump
rose bison
#

is fextralife better for mh or is it like fromsoft games still

icy stump
#

Everything he touches become ass lmao

analog osprey
#

Not possible

hushed kelp
#

Fair enough, I did that too until the wiki Oceaniz helped work on got more fleshed out

analog osprey
#

If there's one thing I don't miss about world, it's Alatreon

#

Cool monster

#

Dumbass fight

rose bison
#

i want to fight world alatreon really bad

#

the DPS check sounds fun to me

analog osprey
#

Am I salty because I mainly play raw-
And lance on top, which sets me at a disadvantage

#

Yes

#

Did I brute force the fight with blast ailment

#

Also yes

#

Did I ever fight Alatreon again

#

No

icy stump
#

Purely because eschaton is such a BULLSHIT mechanic

analog osprey
rose bison
icy stump
#

Exaaaaaaaaactly

rose bison
#

just i think i would have fun with it

analog osprey
#

Gog's is way more manageable

hushed kelp
#

I'm just memeing, don't worry

analog osprey
rose bison
#

i think most people like old alatreon better just because of escaton judgment

heady goblet
analog osprey
#

Im just salty about DPS checks cause my main weapon is literally the testament against that Fight philosophy

icy stump
rose bison
#

tbf thats a low bar

analog osprey
icy stump
#

If eschaton didn't exist as it does now id fucken LOVE the fight

#

His moves are actually fair, and he has openings and shit

heady goblet
#

Granted, I soloed Alatreon with like 8 weapon types, so

analog osprey
icy stump
#

The problem is entirely down to eschaton ruining the fight for me

analog osprey
#

Imo, the best fight in IB is Safi

heady goblet
icy stump
#

I soloed it with a couple weapon types and I don't think I liked it vs anything I used

analog osprey
#

I have a thing for progressive fights tho

analog osprey
icy stump
#

Safi is cool I'm just annoyed at the siege mechanics with the levels and shit

analog osprey
#

Or am I getting something mixed up

icy stump
#

Just lemme fight him and get me shit

heady goblet
analog osprey
#

Really?

heady goblet
#

Yep

analog osprey
#

Well like I said

#

Fought him once

heady goblet
#

True

analog osprey
#

I kind of miss the exploration and secrets that World had

heady goblet
analog osprey
#

My main example is the Rusted Kushala husk in the Hoarfrost reach

icy stump
#

The quest to get the palico gadgets was fun

analog osprey
heady goblet
analog osprey
#

Optional quests with an actual storyline

#

WHAAAAAT

#

Unthinkable

heady goblet
#

What

analog osprey
# heady goblet What

I mean that the quest line for befriending the Felyne tribes and getting the gadgets is actually coherent and not just a one-and-done deal

heady goblet
#

Ah, I see

analog osprey
#

You could compare it to Rise and the game's switch skills

#

Utsushi teaches them to you once and youre literally just

#

Then again the Rise hunter is a fucking prodigy apparently

#

2 months into the hunting business and saved the world twice

heady goblet
#

All mc Hunters are genetic abnormalities, so that tracks

#

Like

analog osprey
heady goblet
#

All of them are .000000000000000000000000000000001% of the peak of humanity

analog osprey
#

Mainly based on the hefty inclusion of Support Hunters

#

Like World's hunter would take on shit like Fatalis SOLO

#

And Wilds is 8 People for Gog

#

So purely based off of that

heady goblet
icy stump
analog osprey
analog osprey
heady goblet
#

Gog is actually so insanely glazed in Wilds ngl

icy stump
heady goblet
#

Granyed

analog osprey
hushed kelp
#

Rise hunter is a sign that anyone can be a monster hunter, without the story being like "oh shit this person is so good they're the best of the best anyways go fight some scrub mobs"

heady goblet
#

I think Gog actually deserves the glaze in comparison to Fatty

analog osprey
#

Simple

icy stump
#

EIGHTY FOUR WAYS THAT FUCKER CAN KICK A MONSTERS ASS WAYS TO SUNDAY

analog osprey
#

Don't get me all wrong

#

Im all for simple

icy stump
#

Not even including arts SOLKEKW

analog osprey
#

But Gog is just objectively SO much more interesting

heady goblet
#

Also Wilds Hunter is the only mf straight up outmuscling Monsters

analog osprey
#

Ax I actually spent like an hour talking about Gog ecology with Joe 2 days ago

heady goblet
#

That's real af

icy stump
analog osprey
#

We came to the conclusion that Gog actually works more like a combustion engine rather than having an actual digestion and all

heady goblet
#

Imagine if you could offset projectiles, oh my god

icy stump
#

Fucken

#

GU guy with adept is right there SOLKEKW

analog osprey
analog osprey
#

Honestly scaling hunters is just REALLY inconsistent

heady goblet
#

Yeah

analog osprey
#

Cause Cutscenes show some bs

#

Like Shara Ishvalda for example

heady goblet
#

But all of these mfs are cracked

icy stump
#

Also honestly parries are all in some way out muscling a monster

#

And like

analog osprey
icy stump
#

You can just hit the fuckers hard enough to stop them dead

#

That's always been a thing

heady goblet
analog osprey
#

I'm still upset about lance not having an offset

#

Like

icy stump
#

Fucken criminal

#

Should've been the backhand

analog osprey
#

THE defensive weapon doesn't have THE new defensive mechanic

analog osprey
icy stump
#

Imagine lance mains bitch smacking attacks away

#

All the aura

heady goblet
#

Great Sword could never

analog osprey
analog osprey
icy stump
analog osprey
icy stump
#

Ngl I hope the next MH game keeps the offset but removes tackle

analog osprey
#

But chinning a monster and putting it on its ass also sounds tempting

icy stump
#

Tackle was the worst thing design wise to happen to GS

analog osprey
#

Matter of fact, make it three

icy stump
#

Shield charge

analog osprey
#

Make the wide sweep an offset too

icy stump
#

Nah nah nah

analog osprey
icy stump
#

Make shield charge a opt in for normal charge

analog osprey
#

I miss my Slugger lance build

icy stump
#

At like the cost of doubled stamina drain

analog osprey
#

I guess you could do it like power guard

icy stump
#

Exaaaaaaaaactly

analog osprey
#

I love playing Lance having to input 4 buttons at once

icy stump
#

Poweguard while running

analog osprey
#

I wanted to sleep an hour ago and I've just been talking my ass off about design philosophy in Monster Hunter 💔

#

The yap goes crazy

heady goblet
#

Hyper fixations got hands

analog osprey
#

Autism built like that

#

Frfr

heady goblet
#

Shit's why I get heated

#

This shit mean's way too much to me, man

#

Being fr though some of these offsets are actually crack

icy stump
#

The GS offset unironically is the one fucking thing that makes me like wilds

heady goblet
#

Because like, what do you mean that Great Sword's gets to reach to the stratosphere, and hit slightly behind, like

icy stump
#

There's so much aura being able to look away from a monster, preemptively release, then then parry BEHIND YOUR BACK

#

I want offset back in the next game purely so I can have it in a better game

heady goblet
#

And then a predominantly defensive weapon like lance don't got no bands

#

Not a single frame of offset

analog osprey
#

What did I do to you Ax

heady goblet
analog osprey
#

Honestly coming from you it feels more like an affront

#

Yk

heady goblet
#

I get it

analog osprey
#

Your whole thing being blowing my head off in HD

#

Unprovoked mainly

heady goblet
#

That's high comedy

#

There is nothing funnier than blowing mfs shit smoove off with a revolver

#

I've legitimately sniped people with the Senator from at least 50 meters out

analog osprey
#

I'm just glad Beryl doesn't think like you
I'm pretty sure they would've put me in the dirt 20 times over after my 3rd Quad-Pee beam joke

Spear would be goated fr

rare knot
#

I think a grounded spear would be nice. We have insect glaive but jumping thru the air gets kinda boring for me

#

I guess grounded spear is just lance but ykyk

heady goblet

I guess, but an actual spear could be so sick

rare knot
#

What about shield?

#

Just a big shield

heady goblet

I feel like it'd be really bad, but at the same time really cool

rare knot

It would be really bad SinClueless

They should bring medium bowgun back

It could still be better than Hunting Horn though fr fr

Hunting horn slander...

Are we seriously gonna act like it hasn't been the worst at killing the monster for pretty much it's whole existence?

rare knot
#

Gunlance exists yk

wide oyster

genuine top-tier weapon

#

had some of the best speedrun times against omega

#

if not the best

rare knot
#

Insane

#

I can't think of a game I've played where HH has ever been bad tbh

heady goblet
# rare knot Gunlance exists yk

Like, Lance at least had two games where it was really good, and Gun Lance has had at least one game where it was legitimately the best

rare knot
#

Wait which game was gunlance good in?

heady goblet
#

Iceborne

rare knot
#

Also don't bring my baby lance into this lance is the goat SinClueless

rare knot
heady goblet
#

I know

#

Slap Lance is genuinely broken after you get Fatty shit

wide oyster
#

there's also a bug with some palico gadget

#

that breaks gl

#

I think you kill fatty in like

#

one minute

#

with that

heady goblet
#

Yes, but I'm talking about the weapon, not a bug

sharp cedar
#

ok quick question, which one looks best

heady goblet
#

Like, there was a really brief window between Fatty dropping, and the bug being found, where Slap Lance was genuinely just the best shit in Iceborne

yeah the eyepatch is doing it for me, the balahara would've been good but i can't change the red collar

#

Just got the MR5 Urgent in SB and they seriously expect me to believe this hunt is just Luna SinClueless

heady goblet
#

Yep

#

Just Lunagaron

rare knot

Idk who's coming up

#

But I'm scared

heady goblet
#

All you gotta kill

#

Is one ice wolf

rare knot
#

Shaggy took me forever

rare knot
heady goblet

Yeah, it's pretty easy ngl

Also just realized I accidentally ran teostra with none of my guard gems

#

Whoopsies

heady goblet
#

Lmao

sharp cedar
#

arch tempered jin time

#

heard people say its easy

rare knot
#

Oh so it was just a normal luna fight...
||With no music...||
||And corpses everywhere...||
||And he turned red...||

heady goblet
#

Yeah, it's literally just a Lunagaron

rare knot
#

Ominous lunagaron

#

||what the fuck is this thing||

heady goblet
#

||The endgame||

rare knot
#

Oh boy

#

The endgame looks like a sonic adventure boss

#

Oh, this guy doesn't mess around huh

heady goblet
#

As the unluckiest single creature in MH, it can't afford to mess around

rare knot
#

Okay actually he's not that hard he just has big damage

rose bison
#

he's actually quite easy

#

you'll see why

rare knot
#

Yeah prolly

#

I triple carted to him but he's so slow it threw off my anchor so I got whapped at first

heady goblet
rare knot
#

Ah

rose bison
#

oh

#

you're talking about gaisma?

rare knot
#

They won't let my man free

rare knot
#

Wait who were you talking about

rose bison
#

i thought you were still talking about the lunagaron

rare knot
#

Oh nah

heady goblet
rose bison
#

he's a bit hard

rare knot
#

Luna was no problem Ive already killed him like 20 times at least lmao

rose bison
#

but like

#

same problem with big monsters in like every game

#

you can kinda just keep hitting them

#

and occasionally dodge but not much

rare knot
#

Yeah he just hits hard

rare knot
#

Ezpz

#

So did I just beat SB?

heady goblet
#

Yep

rare knot
#

Hell yeah

heady goblet
#

Base Sunbreak at least

#

Still got title updates

rare knot
heady goblet
#

It's peak

#

Normal malzeno has become one of my fav fights in the seties

#

Also I need to fight valstrax for the lance

#

But that's like mr10

rose bison
#

but it should be primal

rare knot
#

Spicy malzeno

rose bison
#

i call him primalzeno anyways

#

but yeah i think its my favorite fight in the game

rare knot
#

How diff is he from normal malzeno?

rose bison
#

anomaly quests are also starting up soon, and i think those are pretty fun

#

VERY different

rare knot
rose bison
#

its like

#

the difference from high rank to master rank

rare knot
#

Oh boy

rose bison
#

you'll see how it goes

#

really hard fight

rare knot
#

I'm curious. How long did it take y'all to finish SB?

#

I think I have like 100 hours on this save

rose bison
#

no clue

rare knot
#

And then over 100 on my first save where I didn't even get to malzeno

rose bison
#

ive played a lot since i beat gaismagorm so

#

no real way of knowing how many hours that way

rare knot
#

Yesh

#

I was just curious. I screw around a lot in these games so I feel like I always take double the normal time

rose bison
#

i do a lot of grinding to get good weapons

#

getting a weapon for each element is one of my goals like constantly

rare knot
#

Same. I mess around with a lot of diff weapons as well

#

I have like 300+ hours in GU and most of that is pre endgame

rose bison
#

im checking my current hours

#

i have 272 hours on that save

rare knot
#

Damn ok

rose bison
#

id guess probably like 200 was beating gaisma? but i dont have a way of knowing

rare knot
#

Id have to check but this save is prolly 100 hours. Give or take 10

#

Total I have 225 according to switch

rose bison
#

ive got like 300 on switch iirc

night ledge
#

AT jim out

rare knot
#

Damn ok

#

Oh great all the mr6 quests are double hunts of things I've already fought before SinClueless

rose bison
#

i also didnt get as far on switch

rose bison
#

but none of them are key quests anymore right

rare knot
#

"hunt 2 bazelgeuse"

rare knot
rose bison
#

yeah im pretty sure i just havent done any mr 6 quests lol

#

besides the urgent ones

#

and cheering ra ra rajang

#

but thats an event quest anyways

heady goblet
rare knot
#

All of base and then sb?

heady goblet
#

Granted, a friend and I both speedran out base Rise accounts on Steam the week before Sunbreak dropped

heady goblet
rare knot
#

I could see doing one or the other in one day lmao

#

You could def do base rise in one sitting with defender equipment. Especially if you play coop

heady goblet
#

It was pretty grueling ngl

#

Because I was running bow, so I couldn't update my set prior to endgame, so I just had to play every hunt perfectly

sharp cedar
#

did it like twice

#

for once the chinese guy who joined didn't end up being helpful

#

and soloing it was easier

night ledge
#

it feels like the easiest At fight

#

it doesnt feel much different from regular

#

but jesus i wish theyd stop making parrying awful

sharp cedar
#

it feels like the longest

#

i think uth duna is still the easiest

#

nu udra is probably the "hardest"

Is sunbreak endgame considered soloable or do you have to be kinda busted at the game to hang?

heady goblet
#

I mean

rare knot
#

I may or may not be getting torn to shreds SOLKEKW

heady goblet
#

I soloed the endgame

#

I dunno if that makes it soloable

#

But I soloed it

rare knot
#

I guess that depends how good you considered yourself to be SOLKEKW

#

Prolly just a skill issue on my part then

hushed kelp
#

I run full defense gems, but I'm also kind of bad

hushed kelp
#

You can always do the "bring a follower" stuff too

rare knot
#

True. I just like soloing if I can

heady goblet
#

True, followers make things a lot more manageable

rare knot
#

But RN I'm struggling a bit. I'm getting back into the swing of things after not playing for a while, and also getting used to lance again SinClueless

rose bison
#

the followers are so fun

#

you gotta start using them

hushed kelp
#

I was able to get through to Risen Chameleos solo (I can probably solo the rest, just haven't done it yet)

rare knot
#

I tried Seething Bagel and got whooped so I think I'm gonna grind normal bazel to learn his moves a bit

hushed kelp
#

Hinoa and Minoto on HH for the sister support squad

rare knot
#

(/s)

#

What makes them fun? Like aside from having help

#

I haven't run with them, except story quests where they are required

rose bison
#

they have fun interactions with eachother and you, they have special hunting helpers they can use in hunts, and its fun deciding which ones to bring because they all have different playstyles and strengths and weaknesses

#

like i bring elder fugen because he can use hammer and is very aggressive, but he never heals so i also bring rondine who heals frequently and likes supporting the player

#

oh they also all know how to sleepbombn

#

its funny

hushed kelp
#

Luchika (Purple Gunner Lady) has hella barrel bombs too, and will put them out when you do

rose bison
#

they all do it

rare knot
#

Seething Bazel was invented purely to spite lance players I think

#

You try to block anything and you're thrown around all his bombs like ur a pinball til ur stamina's gone

#

Also you can't anchor rage a lot of his big stuff cuz he always explodes after SinClueless

rose bison
#

oh that could make him difficult

#

im sorry i dont have any tips, ive never had trouble with any form of bazel

rare knot
#

You can't even anchor range his scream. Like you can, but unless your shoving your face in his chest it's gonna whiff

rose bison
#

i think its just a really good fight for hammer and greatsword

rare knot
#

Oh I bet

#

Sns prolly wouldn't be awful either

rose bison
#

a lot of weapons wouldnt be awful

rare knot
#

I think I need to normal block cuz I do get a bit over enthusiastic with the parries, but still he's throwing out a ton of shit constantly

rose bison
#

maybe you need to switch playstyles to not blocking like at all

rare knot
#

90% of the time I can backhop out. But then I'm not doing damage

rose bison
#

like demon of hatred in sekiro

rare knot
#

Or rather, I'm not blocking the things I should be blocking

#

Backhops are too tempting

#

It's also hard to stick to him in general cuz he's always flying all over the place, and when he throws himself at you it's usually not for long

rose bison
#

he does have very big openings after most attacks tho

#

lots of stalling attacks too though

rare knot
#

Yeah. I'm able to capitalize on those

#

I just die to quick cuz I can't do much about his big damage attacks a lot of the time. My go to of anchor rage doesn't work well on him

#

I kinda wind up just running around waiting for openings, which isn't optimal

rose bison
#

hey thats what i do

#

its pretty optimal

rare knot
#

Optimal for hammer

#

And GS

rose bison
#

theres a lot of monsters i be treatin like dark souls bosses

#

primalzeno my beloved

rare knot
# rose bison hey thats what i do

In the time between my message and this message, I got up, got water, sat down, picked the quest and ate, got to the hunt, and carted once SOLKEKW

#

This guy just nukes me

rose bison
#

have you been getting good armor

rare knot
#

I have full malzeno

rose bison
#

is it upgraded

rare knot
#

About level 10

rose bison
#

pretty sure you can go way higher than that

rare knot
#

Yeah but to get everything to lvl 30 it's literal millions of dollars and armor spheres

rose bison
#

btw i like the variants like seething bazelgeuse where, instead of giving them a new element, they're just way more angry or better at their stuff in some other way

#

its kinda crazy how many variants are just "they're even madder now"

#

seething bagel grease, raging brachy, furious rajang, scorned magnamalo

rose bison
#

its very nice

icy stump
#

Assuming you're buffing your gear accordingly as you progress

#

EX risens are when the game starts going nutty

sharp cedar

I could be playing monster hunter frontier

#

But I’m at a party

heady goblet
#

You really could

#

Did you actually download Frontier btw?

rare knot
#

Got his ass

hushed kelp
sharp cedar
icy stump
#

The anomaly stuff is pretty easy to solo as long as you understand the monster enough to get in enough hits in-between you getting hit to offset the DMG with lifesteal from bloodblight

sharp cedar
#

One more time please sir

heady goblet
sharp cedar
#

I’ll do it when I get access to a computer

heady goblet
#

Hell yeah

rare knot
#

Time to beat coping bagel again cuz I didn't get his mantle SinClueless

#

I'll open it for co op this time tho Ive proven I can solo him

hushed kelp
#

I believe in you, and the friends you hunted with along the way

rare knot
#

His lance is just too good too pass up

#

And I won't be able to get valstrax lance for a while

#

Anyone know what the best SNS are for mr6? I can't sus it out myself

rose bison
#

farm the cheering ra ra rajang event

#

you get like 1 million zenny per win

hushed kelp
#

Ah, I hadn't tried that one yet

rare knot
rose bison
#

nope just one

#

rajang is the only monster you have to kill

#

and its in the arena so you can have the wall up for like the entire fight

rare knot
#

Yeah but there's two there

#

I just tried it and it's hellish solo

#

The hermitaur one you can solo ez and quick

#

The rajang one is prolly ez with a team but ur not farming that solo

rose bison
#

its pretty easy solo too

rare knot
#

Maybe for you

#

Maybe for you

rose bison
#

especially if its an astalos

rose bison
#

he is well known to be nerfed a lot between world and rise

rare knot
#

Its a rajang fight with another monster in an arean

#

The fence isn't there 24/7

#

That's kind of a big thing

rose bison
#

theres like a 30 second cooldown

#

and it stays up for like 1 minute or 2

#

you get a good chunk of time to bonk the rajang

rare knot
#

Yeah and then you get gangbanged for 20 seconds

#

And then you gotta get them separate and hit the switch

rose bison
#

just run

#

and its not hard to seperate them because rajang sticks to you like glue and the other monster doesnt care as much

rare knot
#

That's not how my attempts are going

#

They like to stick together

rare knot
#

I did it but nah that was not easy

rose bison
#

to each their own

#

you also only have to do it like once and you're set for a while

rare knot
#

Got hermitaur 3 times in a row and they do no separate

rose bison
#

i get astalos most of the time

rare knot
#

Time to do it 20 more times and be set for life

#

It's also good practice I think

sharp cedar
#

@heady goblet which one do i launch

Good day to be a lance main

sharp cedar

funny how 3 weapons that can block the beam of death are last

#

i saw the run though for gs

#

it can be optimized and cut down maybe one or 2 minutes

theres no way it can be sub 14

and that time i was on the other side of fabius and trying to get to him

its so stupid

and ive carted while on the rocks

gog is the least fun ive had in this game

second only to the fish

i think i still hate seregios even though hes my most hunted monster

if i had to say, regular omega is my least favorite

savage is the same but i treat savage differently

then serg

I haven't done savage yet

then i think anything with poison
