Should I swap out arkveld for nu udra
wide oyster
Should I swap out arkveld for nu udra
yeah
arkveld set bonus isn't good
if you want max dps use nu udra
if you want safety keep ark
both are valid options
I would personally use nu
especially if you're running omega set
use tackle often to proc resentment

if you want safety keep ark
yeah thats why im using it but it feels counter intuitive with resentment and latent power and stuff

I love that guardian Arkveld was included
Even tho you fight him ONCE
icy stump
Ngl I dislike the trend of making subspecies/alternate versions of monsters rank specific versions of the monsters, I feel like it undercuts the potential of the alternative fight
Like I kinda wish guardian arkveld stuck around in wilds HR, or base nergi/vaal were in worlds MR, etc
Hell even rise pulls that shit a little bit with narwa specifically
analog osprey
Like I kinda wish guardian arkveld stuck around in wilds HR, or base nergi/vaal ...
well tbf i feel like that was anchored to the story
icy stump
Like I get that but at the same time I think MH games limiting ANY fight because of "muh plot" in inherently really stupid
night ledge
Yeah I dont mind guardian ark being a "story" monster
Just because I dont see it being any different from regular ark
Its just a skin
icy stump
Like zoh shia not having any gear or a refight until like the second or third (?)TU was really stupid
night ledge
Yeah that was really stupid
icy stump
Guardian ark is less bad cause like it's essentially the same as basic ark, but at the same time it's still a missed opportunity
heady goblet
It was the first, wasn't it?
icy stump
Any way you slice it it was still really stupid
Cause it's like, the coolest fight conceptually in the game
heady goblet
But if they didn't do that, Capcom wouldn't've been able too release an incomplete product, and the shareholders couldn't have that
icy stump
Honestly I don't think wilds ever was gonna release in a competent state unless they delayed it by like a whole year
They unironically needed a whole other year to even come close to a good scope
Like It just feels like this game shot way too high and far for its own good and suffered for it
heady goblet
Honestly the best thing Capcom could do is to stop loading all the areas simultaneously
icy stump
Real as fuck
Gee it's almost like there's some merit to having seperate loading screens to seperate shit
The only thing that's unfortunate about it was wilds had like the best launch of any MH game so this probably means the next mainline team game is gonna be the same deal, where they go bigger and it squanders itself even harder
I think we'll probably get the next portable team game this year so pog to that
Literally all they need is like, rise 2 on everything including switch 2 with cross platform play and I assure you it'll sell gangbusters
Like unironically I think rise only launching on switch and then launching on everything else as the switch was getting SB was its biggest constriction on sales
If the game launches on switch 2 and gets crossplay with everything else that'll prolly be the best case scenario, cause the team is prolly gonna limit themselves enough to get it good on switch 2, and if it runs on that it'll prolly work on everything else
Only issue is Nintendo is Nintendo and them and crossplay don't play nice usually

they dont do anything like that with narwa tho
you have to fight normal narwa before allmother even in MR iirc
rare knot
maybe there is merit but its also really annoying
Nearly every change world made to the MH formula came from how fundamental the broken up areas are to MH.
Even now Capcom is trying so hard to make a suitable replacement for leaving the area to heal and sharpen. They always kinda do but they also tend to make it way too easy
icy stump
you have to fight normal narwa before allmother even in MR iirc
....no?
It's just allmother in MR
rose bison
i was thinking of ibushi
icy stump
Yeah ibushi is normal
rare knot
but there is no difference other than a loading zone
Monster attacks can still hit you. There's nothing besides AI separating you from the monster
Even in rise with all the tall cliffs you can climb up, mons can still hit you.
The difference and the challenges it caused for the developers is something Capcom has openly spoken about in interviews around the time of world's release, btw. I'm not just assuming things
icy stump
I think open maps can work personally thing is both the mainline games iterations of them have been not good, cause the only thing that differentiates them from the old MH maps is the fact I have to run everywhere, through halls and things, it's like a load zone but i cant take a drink while it's loading 
At least with rise maps you can cut through areas and traverse the maps fast
Take the jungle in rise as a example
That map in GU is ass cause all the loading zones are kinda confusing, and there's a ton that criss cross around each other
If the mainline team remade the map, odds are they'd have just expanded the maps with walkways connecting the areas and you'd maybe be able to come over sometimes but odds are it'd be a lotta walking
The portable team made it so you can run all over the map with little to no hassle
rare knot
I don't mind the open maps in world much either tbh. I just think world maps kinda suck 
That might just be a me issue and it's been a while since I last played, I just remember them being unintuitive and confusing
I just prefer the simplicity of the old loading screen transitions and the mechanics and strategies born of them
The more they step away from it the more creative they have to get to make a seamless world intuitive. And how successful they are is sorta up to the preferences of the individual
So far it's mostly been making all other mechanics faster, more convenient, and by consequence less impactful because you have less downtime

I spammed SOSs back when the game first came out for ages

That's just kinda most mainline MH games tbh
Their endgames tend to become just "fight these 5 monsters and infinitum"

I think I have 200 hunts on him
did manage to get every deco I wanted out of it though
icy stump
Arkveld is still my most hunted by far
Well cause he was like, the endgame hunt lol
wide oyster
crit boost 3 was the real bottleneck
icy stump
Arkveld is definitely a good fight but he's fucky cause of wilds stupid game progression design
Him being the final main hunt of the main story going into HR feels dumb
Like he doesn't feel like a final boss monster
Gore felt more like a final boss tbh
night ledge
Well he is
icy stump
Which I get why he wasn't cause he already had his go of it in 4U
But at the same time he's literally a walking epidemic, and his fight in the story starts as like a mini boss rush, if they leaned into that and let that be the final encounter of wilds with more frenzied monsters that could've been one of the most interesting final bosses in MH history
night ledge
So
night ledge
Yeah but its a victory lap
icy stump
I mean I guess, but the victory lap usually goes to post game exclusive fights, like elder dragons or big siege fights etc
Arkveld doesn't have that vibe to him
night ledge
Well wilds didn't have those
icy stump
Yeah that's part of the problem

But you're right ark is the last fight

Real
For how much time it takes it's really insulting the two things I actually remember are the congalala cutscene (im immature and think it's funny) and zoh shia

That part pissed me off because IT LITERALLY MURDERED YOUR FAMILY, SHUT UP I WANT A NEW SWORD

and GS makes him even easier
since you can perfect guard and offset everything

Prolly the best iteration of this idea is EX deviants cause:
-you only really need to do em once for the special color (which you never are gonna NEED it's just cool)
-you unlock them after at least 15(for 12 of em)/5 (for 6 of em) hunts so odds are you've got the fight down well enough, so them giving you a final test basically telling you to perfect the fight feels reasonable
-theyre hard hr 100 locked so in order to unlock them you have to (kind of) prove you know what you're doing, and odds are if you go to run them the people you're playing with also will know what they're doing

Crimson glow felt like GU valstrax but he also has radial dragon farts on his attacks now which honestly kinda drags the fight down a bit

I miss the cross series crossovers in MH, now most of them are exclusive to Capcom stuff with the occasional other thing
Hot take id take 10 crossover armor sets from event quests with normal monsters over 1/2 from a unique crossover monsters
I miss when events also had like funny modifiers
Tiny gammoth was the greatest event quest devised by man

I really don't like the new crossovers tbh. Like just dropping another monster from an entirely unrelated series into MH
Though I think that's mostly cuz I don't think the series they choose really fit. It's done out of marketing more than anything

Fighting a humanoid bipedal monster just feels weird to me idk
icy stump
The FF crossover fights have a lot of overlap with base MH fights
Behemoth felt like a weird mashup of kushala, zinogre, and basically any monster that drops meteors on your head
Omega feels like someone mashed up a rakna kadaki and world lunastra, with meteors again
Aka, hell, they made hell
As out of left field leshin is I don't think we really have any bipedal monsters, and/or monsters who grow vegetation to kill you (in mainline, ik frontier has like inagi or whatever but still)
rare knot
There's some that stand upright on two legs a lot like Goss Harag
But that's about as close as we get

Also goss came after leshin tbf
rare knot
Oh true
There's also azuros and lagombi who kinda do the same thing sometimes
But it's nowhere near the same
icy stump
Yeah
rare knot
But all of the above get away with it because they are very bear like and bears are known to do that
Ik lagombi and Volvidon aren't bears but they are just azuros with gimmicks, so
I think an SMT crossover would be pretty nuts. Idk what demon they'd use tho, there's kind of a lot
icy stump
I want them to do another yugioh crossover
Straight up let me fight blue eyes white dragon it'd be hype
Would it be the most basic bitch dragon fight to ever dragon? Probably
It'd be really cool tho

topaz quartz
I still have to play with the frame generator, but the game runs better and doesn't use as many resources as before.
icy stump
Im still leaving my review as negative cause there's genuine problems with the game design itself that are honestly kinda inexcusable
Namely progression and how the game tries so hard to take itself seriously plot wise they forget this is a multiplayer game you should be able to play through with friends
The mainline team think they are designing a FF/XBC or some shit get that nonsense outta here
wide oyster
I think the postgame is good
regarding progression and seriousness
I still find it a step up from world
which forced its story constantly
and made you sit through 100000000000 story scenes
icy stump
I think the postgame is good
Well yeah
Cause you slogged through all the story bull
wide oyster
and cinematic fights
like Zorah
at least Wilds stops at LR
Wilds HR is pretty hands-off
you still have story stuff, but it's not that unnatural

at least Wilds stops at LR
Tbf worlds HR story was ultimately like, 5 or so required fights iirc

It was SUPER short if you speedran it
night ledge
Yeah I vastly prefer wilds story
World suffers from forced cutscenes and bad stalking missions
wide oyster
also horrible level design
night ledge
Don't you dare say forest is bad
icy stump
Hot take wilds story is worse imo cause it feels more intrusive in a way
Cause wilds does the "slow walk and monologue" WAY more from what I can tell, and with how fast LR fights go in wilds it genuinely feels like you spend more time on the run up than in the fight

I remember liking the desert map in world relatively
Idk world maps aside from the forest being kinda funky to navigate in that one part were like just overall ok?
wide oyster
maybe I'm just being overly negative then
since I came from rise
which had relatively simple map traversal
night ledge
And the dog makes traversal easier
icy stump
Like the desert was fine, the coral highlands were fine, rotton vale was fun for the fact the top half is straight up just a dalamadur, elders recess was eh (they should've made it hot/cold instead of hot/crystal, would've actually made it interesting)
And the hoarfrost was just really big
Rise is genuinely way better than both world and wilds and I will die on that hill
Like it feels like it understood the assignment the best out of all the open world MH games
icy stump
World maps felt like old game maps just with you running everywhere instead of load zones, wilds feels like that but they hidenit a bit better. Rise feels like I can genuinely go anywhere on the map
icy stump
I did not really like wirebug combat tbh
See I get that
But at the same time they don't really force you to use it
Sure you lose out on damage or whatnot but pretty much most movesets are designed to be fightable without them
Like slap some Guard on CB and yeah if you don't use silkbinds you won't have as high damage but you could totally manage without the bugs
Or sheathe with LS (although you don't really need it even, that's only if you wanna spam the special sheathe parry)
Mainly tho the thing I like about rise (and GU cause they dip in on this) is how you have a lot more options in terms of playstyles even between weapons
Honestly THAT should be on the priority list for mainline team going forward, cause that sort of thing helps the games replayability alot

It's just way more a pain in the ass than it has any right to be
icy stump
Its infuriating either way
icy stump
Id argue all the brownie points the game gets for that it immediately loses on the run up to the hunts
I feel like wilds likes that "slow walk with NPC monologue" combo way more than world did
World definitely did it don't get me wrong
But I feel like it was every few quests or so
night ledge
nah i think its worse than world
icy stump
I distinctly remember wilds having more but that might be cause I havent played world in God knows how long
night ledge
since its a cutscene that cant be skipped
icy stump
Well that's the thing
The really annoying parts in wilds aren't cutscenes I can skip
I distinctly remember back like right after I beat the game I added up my estimated hunt times from doing hunts and compared it to my in game time (minus the literal ten hours I had troubleshooting the game without even playing it) and I remeber the ratio of in hunt time to out of hunt time was abysmal

looking at pictures of ruiner, i think its straight up just a ruiner nergigante

Nah ruiner would have more metal spikes
Like on his left arm and wings at least
Also on the neck
Also also the horn would be more metallic grey
On a unrelated note shout out ruiner nergis gear for looking cool as fuck (damn shame he's locked to MR 100 FOR SOME FUCKEN REASON)
Also also unrelated I really hope we get akantor either in the next portable team game (preferably) or the wilds dlc because it's criminal we have the way better version of minds eye (giving up to THIRTY PERCENT EXTRA DAMAGE !!!) but not getting any weapon that can really leverage that fact is disappointing
Honestly I kinda wanna mod a weapon in MHrise to make it get a identical statsheet to the akantor godsword from GU to see how it'd do with the new iteration of minds eye
