IG is indeed awesome and I regret only checking it out last week for the first time in the three MH games I played. It’s mega fun!Achmed Jones posted:i love sucking at aerial sns so if i keep playing after endgame i am thinking of trying ig. it seems fun. not super enthused about the whole kinsect and harvesting thing though It’s not bad at all. Pick a dual harvest kinsect and a point or two in power prolonger and you’ll gather the kinsect buffs quickly and they’ll last a comfortable amount of time. Also awesome thing about the kinsects is they seem to have a high chance to flinch monsters. So often I’ll fire my kinsect at a monster’s head for red+white juice and the kinsect makes them stumble backwards. For the longest time I avoided IG because I thought managing the kinsect buffs would be too much of a chore. I assure you it is not. The IG is awesome and the most fun aerial weapon I’ve ever played. There is very little reason for you to spend time on the ground. It rules and I love it very much.

so far the events have just been for stickers and emotes, but in GU there were buttloads of unique armor sets that came from event quests, rise could see something similar over time.

The amount of Kushala/Teostra/Rathalos hunts I get is…. Noticeable. So yeah, people really rather not do these hunts alone. I stole your idea last night after I got two Magna Gems in a single hunt and figured I'm done with that jerk for the time being. Joined some random hunts with my hunting horn and dooted them to victory. It was fun! Thanks for the idea.

I was the same way about thinking that managing the use of the kinsect was too intimidating, but after playing with it a while, now I feel like it doesn't do enough. Or rather, I wish it felt more like an engaging part of the combat. Maybe at high levels of IG play you really need to pay attention to what the kinsect is doing, but right now I just send it out for buffs, recall it, and then completely ignore its presence until my buffs run out. It feels less like an interesting mechanic that makes the weapon unique, and more like busywork.

If you use a powder kinsect kinsect management is more important since you have to mark the target to get the kinsect attacking and then attack the powder to activate it. But that requires not using a dual-buff kinsect.

It makes Kinsect management a much bigger part of the weapon's gameplan.

I genuinely wish the game rewarded matching up elements on weapons. As it is, you basically just make Narga/magna and go. Even when it's not this it's just raw. Like, it sucks that I could potentially farm up a thunder elemental weapon and in the end it vastly underperforms to a raw damage weapon on a monster that is weak to thunder. Give me a reason to make all the different weapons, capcom.

Yeah elemental damage does make sense from a mechanics standpoint, but it does suck a lot that this results in 90% of the weapon trees being completely plastered over. Every game is going to have one "best" weapon because that's how numbers work, but to have such a wide swath of them be so much worse than the best doesn't feel good, especially when the weapons look so good this time around

Elemental damage has kind of always had issues. They've made some efforts to balance it out better per weapon with better elemental modifiers on some attacks or improving elemental hit zones on monsters or element-based ramp up skills, but you always run the risk with that of just making weapons identical apart from element or increasing the grinding and equipment setup burden by making you have one of each element that you need to keep up with. It kind of almost has to be a style of its own for each weapon, like an elemental greatsword focusing more on plunging attacks and the wide swings vs charged slashes, sns with its stab, sakura slash on long sword, and so on. Additionally crit is just too good and easy to get and its skills scale raw damage better than anything elements have, which crit element wouldn't help even if it were stronger. Technically elemental weapons do have an additional way to scale over pure raw or status weapons since you can slot the corresponding flat element decorations pretty easily, but that's not really enough to overcome some raw weapons just being too good. It is kind of lame, but at the end of the day the only real thing you can do is just decide if the flavor is enough to overcome lost time for you, and really for the vast majority of people narga weapons outperforming even the best elemental choice is going to be pretty low on the list of things determining hunt times. chumbler fucked around with this message at 06:16 on May 17, 2021 |

Or rather, I wish it felt more like an engaging part of the combat. Yeah it kinda depends on what type of kinsect you're using, in order of least management to most: Assist: iirc all of these give double-buffs and aside from that their special thing is that when you have all 3 buffs they attack with some of your attacks, pick these for the most dragoon-ing and the least bug management Speed: The fastest, obviously, but they also work like a crit draw build for kinsects, they charge up a powerful attack when on your arm (they'll glow blue and there'll be a blue light on the bottom of your glaive when it's ready) so you want to occasionally send out your bug to do a big hit on the monster. Take these if you want to kinda alternate doing one hit with your kinsect, then recalling and going back to glaive shenanigans Powder: These work like kinsects in World, if you mark the monster (either R with your weapon out, or ZR + R to shoot a projectile, or tetraseal slash if you have that switch skill) they'll automatically come out and start attacking that specific spot while dropping dust clouds. Hitting the dust clouds with any attack (even allies can detonate them I think) will detonate the dust and apply whatever effect the kinsect has in a small area, so these can be really good for applying poison/paralysis/blast if they have that element (and especially if your weapon has the same one), or to give out some extra healing with a healing powder one. Take these + tetraseal slash if you want to manage your kinsect's uptime and maybe don't even take wyvern dive so you can fill their stamina really fast with the recall switch skill other than that there's also blunt/severing kinsects of each type (with the same stats as the other damage type so it's entirely just which type of damage you want), so take severing if you want to make cutting tails easier, or blunt if you want to try to get KOs by slamming your bug into a monster's face (which is probably better on a powder or speed kinsect unless you don't need to cut the tail) Xad fucked around with this message at 07:51 on May 17, 2021 |

Junkie Disease posted:Elements should do blights so they are not a waste v monsters who have no weakness to them I think this is a good way to incentivize building element. Having an array of elemental weapons is just so much more fun than one or two raws. I would think that the ideal place for element would be that if you're hitting the best weak zone with the right element, it should out-perform a raw weapon; but playing element sloppily would lose to raw. I'm guessing they've gotta be aiming for something like that, but it just doesn't end up being the case most of the time. These games have so many variables, I'm sure balancing them is unbelievably complex. That's why something out-of-the-box, like the blights suggestion, would be a nice incentive. Also, lower the monsters weakness requirements for elemental exploit skills to proc.

Captain Lavender posted:I think this is a good way to incentivize building element. Some monsters have hitzones where the bad hitzone has high element hitzones or stuff like that. I think Mizutsune is one of them, so even if you hit the "wrong" part with a lightning weapon you'll still do ok damage. I haven't actually looked enough to see if there's a pattern there I think the really annoying thing about elements is monsters are completely immune to so many of them. I get it's that so you change your loadout to fight them, but that's another reason to just build the highest attack weapon

Any idea if they’re going to add the Kick Back gesture in? I know the move is in the game, my character does it during some quest complete screens! Let me kick back and relax after a hard hunt, Capcom. Also, the Utsushi Mask S still isn’t showing up on my crafting list...so frustrating. Any suggestions?

World: What's the best way to get Daora Horn+'s? Breaking the head seems pretty hard from what I read, is there a trick to it? Need 7 of them to get the HR Kushala Chest and Arms to get Handicraft 3 and unlock Royal Burst's white sharpness. Maybe the answer is to just head into MR given I'm already at 8* quests? There won't be much HR left by the time I grind out those horns. The set is pretty neat already for HR GL: Artillery 3, Capacity Boost, Focus 2, Evade Extender 2, Evade Window 3, Protective Polish, Speed Sharpening 1. Got a Protective Polish and Evade Window deco from the improved deco drop rate mod to make that possible. Have both Focus and Capacity Boost on there because I'm running that GL mod and can do all of full burst/poke-shell/charged shelling from any lance. Loving that mod, though it does make fights easier when you can switch styles at will.
