Ask me about how people having a bad reaction to MSG makes them racist, because I've never heard of gluten sensitivity
Maybe this has been asked before and I missed it but is there a way to auto translate everyone? For some reason I get tons of Japanese players in hub and they keep spamming something and I'm never sure if it's capture or kill. I really wish there was an auto translate. Barring that, does someone know the characters for capture used in the game so I can look out for it?

Messages are auto translated by default, but if they set up custom messages then they obviously aren't.

the rakna-kadaki set is basically entirely for spread-focused bowguns

the rakna-kadaki bowguns do not have spread ammo

Not a comment about mobility, but more about animations - GL animations are still really slow.

So I decided to try out some bowgun stuff while farming monsters for other parts. I checked the list and this time, almost every monster is weak to fire, so I made the only LBG that can rapidfire the Piercing Fire ammo. Holy poo poo, either the build is completely unusable or you need a TON of skills to make it work because I used up absolutely all of my ammo and it still took 30 minutes to kill Basarios. The handling on PF ammo is awful, the reload takes forever, and you have to stop to shoot, and it's only got two shots by default. The damage is like, okay I guess, but it's not that much more than Pierce 1 ammo which you can shoot way faster and have a way larger clip. And it's not even rapid fire!

I ended up watching a video of someone killing the final boss with HBG and they use Piercing Dragon ammo, but they charge the shots with it, so it's probably meant to be used like that. I'll have to look at the rest of the guns and try to see if any of them stand out to me and try again, but maybe not until I get access to more HR sets

So I tried the rise demo and it was ok. Graphical fidelity not great on a huge screen but probably fine handheld. How is the multi-player for the game? I didn't see any lobbies in the demo.

I remember mhw being a bit sparse for mp launch on the pc, but I mostly play these games for random multiplayer hunts

In between those two the khezu vanished from existence and I was too stunned to take the video of it disappearing in time. It was just gone, did not count as dead, quest incomplete and there was no longer a khezu to actually kill to complete the quest.
Me and a friend got exactly the same bug: I think it has to do something with Khezu coming off the ceiling, because it happened to us right after that. We could still hit him and get damage numbers on him, but even then we were able to actually carve him up for parts. We went away and he dissapeared and we couldn't finish the quest, like you.

If you're using counter morph slash then you could guard point those attacks, but that will leave you in sword mode so you can't get back to ripping and tearing right away.

that preserves your savage axe mode despite getting the shield out? I wouldn't have expected that

Technically no - if you do nothing after the counter or whiff it entirely, you'll end up in sword mode with savage axe gone. It's just that you can press X after blocking a hit to immediately go into savage axe mode, whether you had it active or not.

Yup, it dropped from the ceiling and went into that state. I'm glad I was just by myself doing it, feels like that would be even more frustrating with friends. Still funny though.

Rise is my first ever MH game and wow its a bit overwhelming. I have one dumb question, is there a bonus for having all your armor from a single set or anything like that? Just curious if I should stick to one, or clownsuit away.

in rise there's a feature where you get extra elemental defenses for wearing matching armor pieces but other than that typically people build to stack up certain skills. it's usually not much of a concern until high rank, though, so don't sweat it way too much. make stuff that seems neat in the meanwhile. experiment. once you hit high rank all your old armor will be obsolete. weapons will scale with upgrades, though. just not armor.

There's a bonus to resistances for multiple pieces in a set, but those are nowhere near as important as the skill choices you want so go be the best clown you can be

(e) but yeah LR gear is instantly obsoleted before long so don't go ham too early (unless you don't mind the obsolescence of course)

Most weapons have at least one complete set that just gives you a really nice set of skills for that weapon. If all else fails you can wear full Rathalos armor and be swimming in Attack Boost.
