Man, you no longer get all the "!"s on every single person when you finish the HR100 Sapphire Star quest. That's kind of sad, but so is beating up the trio with a Raging Brachy weapon. That was a cool quest to finish the first time on PS4. Also on PC for that matter, good memories of my first MonHun game and run.

Happy Noodle Boy posted:Raging Brachy is so insanely fun. By far the best individual fight in all the MonHun I’ve played. I fought AT Velkana for the first time before getting to Safi, Alatreon, or Fatalis. With the weapons and armor available it was really white-knuckle and challenging. I think that was my favorite. I just want to say, in Rise, I've been fighting Izuchis for the past 2 days and still don't have a small crown. I want those awards dammit. At least I'll get 1000 monsters award and all the guild card titles from killing monsters 50x each no problem...

wrt monsters in World being absolutely psycho - Barioth was the reason I stopped playing Iceborne. Guy just would not hold still and the fight was taking a million years because I guess I needed a new weapon and having to chase him around forever and I was just like gently caress this sucks. Then go to Rise and I just beat his rear end every time and it feels like a completely different monster

I grew to like Barioth after getting bullied by GU's version quite a bit at first because it's one of the more detailed monsters in terms of being impaired by broken parts. Damage to those front limbs really fucks up its mobility and the fight goes from "stop jumping around, you absolute fucker" to "please jump some more and give me long openings." The first one you meet in Iceborne is special for sure, it's much faster than any mon you see before then with far less openings until it tires or parts break. That first Iceborne encounter with SnS is still pretty memorable to me, I basically waited it out by chipping away at the front limbs until it couldn't be so mobile any more.

Crown hunting is always a grindy hell so enjoy. It could take you 3 mons or 300. eventually you get better at eyeballing the monster size and just quitting out when you know it's not worth your time and rolling the dice again.

Yeah, don't know why I feel like doing it now, I couldn't be bothered in World. It's actually been a good opportunity to grind on weapons I don't use much and really figure out their flow, so it's not all bad. Eyeballing the size of these small monsters isn't easy - but yeah, I'd think the bigger ones, I could do that.

I'm using charge blade in world. am I vaguely correct in assuming that I want to power up the shield with five phials, power up the sword (phials don't make a difference here) and then go for the full super elemental nuke? and that I need to play world much more slowly and carefully than rise? that's definitely what it feels like so far. though that could also be because I've never played charge blade before.

In base world yeah. Well charging up the sword is optional. For impact phials, get 3 levels of artillery for more phial damage and capacity boost for the extra phial. Some levels in guard helps as well, depending on the monster. Focus is generally good for charging up phials faster. Eat for felyne bombardier for an extra bit of phial damage as well. If you have Iceborne then you have access to savage axe mode. Which is really good for elemental CBs and changes the way you play it.

The shield stores up to 300 seconds of charge, so you can charge it up a couple times in a row - each phial is 30 secs. I think Savage Axe is DLC only but am not sure. If you're liking the feel of World, Iceborne is a very good buy.

Yes, if you buy Iceborne you get access to the clutch claw and all related moves even in the base game. Makes some of the weapons for more interesting and/or usable.

Do Guiding Lands mons have new moves or sped up moves? I'm finding it hard to motivate getting into a new set of maps and systems right now, especially if it's the exact same mons I ran in MR with no additional challenge. Just noticed the GL sub species are all available as events, including Yian Garuga/Scarred. From what I read, GL mats are only for augments, all gear is crafted from non-GL mats. Cool design. So if I skipped GL, I'd be the weak non-augmented hunter in the end game. Which is noticeable most especially for health augments - having to break off to chug healing is a lot of downtime.

Finally beat all the arena quests with all the weapons for rise and met my goal of getting A rank for each one. Despite playing almost no insect glaive it was one of the easiest weapons to get a fast time with. Especially against volvidon since you can just bug zap him every time he rolls without really needing to time anything well.

Feeling the urge to come back to World and get into Iceborne, but I want to try a different weapon - what's the best way to go about that? Obviously jumping into where I last left off without ever using the weapon before is just gonna be miserable, but just crafting endgame gear and going back to blow through the early game with no effort isn't going to be a good learning experience either. Do I just craft crappy gear and play some of the early game to get the hang of things, or is there a better way?

Honeslty I'm of the mind that crashing in MR ultimately be better to learn new weapons / start Iceborne becasue even if hunts take longer while you get the hang of things you're bringing in MR materials will be good through all of IB.

I guess if you start the game and make some defender weapons, you know they're good; so if your hunts stink with them, you'll know you're probably not playing them right. I know for me, I have a hard time knowing if I'm playing a weapon wrong, or I'm just not using a good one when I try to learn something new. Defender could take away a variable for you

I bought rise! First time monster hunter. I was cruising right along, having a fun time getting used to the wire bug and learning what’s available in the village, and then I tried my first hub quest solo... I chased the monster around the map 3 times with the gun lance and ended up dying each time and failing the mission. Am I really really bad or are the hub quests supposed to just be that much more difficult?

The low rank Hub has the exact same monsters as Village, Village just puts on a modifier that like halves their health compared to solo Hub quests (monster health scales based on number of players in a hunt), so you might just be taking more attrition than you were used to with the fight lasting longer in the same gear. They don't do more damage per hit as far as I know, though.

hobbez posted:Nah I just did the one star ones and then bumped over to the hub to do the one star ones over there 1 star village is much easier than 1 star hub, it’s possible you’re just still learning. Also 1 star hub has a LOT more HP so you might be doing ok just not used to how long the hunt is meant to take. But to answer your question technically you can go into 1 star hub with the first weapons you start with in the game so it’s probably not a gear issue

I think the one star village quests don’t contain any large monsters while the hub quests do, and large monsters are the game’s very first hurdle to be overcome. Just keep at it

And Tyler Too! posted:Hub mons are scaled up for multiplayer, they have more HP to compensate for 4 hunters wailing on them. Yes, Hub mons have more HP BUT they also scale the HP (and other thresholds like status procs, but importantly not the damage the monster does) for 1, 2, 3, and 4 players in Rise, so soloing a Hub mon means way less of an HP bump than the massive HP bump from going at it with 4 hunters.

to be clear, hp values in the hub are normal for that monster. village hp amounts are way lower than the normal. the hub isn't 'scaled for multiplayer', it's literally just the normal game while most of the village quests are an extended tutorial.

Almost every single gunlance I run into ranges from competent to extremely competent. Hell, most LS users are fine with easy to slot and heavily advertised Flinch decos. I feel like I see more LBG users bite it than anything. I feel like the gun provides a sense of safety and security that is easily overridden by finding themselves not paying attention and suddenly in a precarious position.

Maybe I've been lucky but I've had hardly any failed quests in Rise with pubs. Not sure if people are just better or it's easier or what. Like I can only think of 3-4 times I failed a quest at all in a group. Once on Allmother, once on the Valstrax/Rakna quest and then one on the Diablos/Magnamalo/Rath quest in the coral place. I was actually sorta surprised I had an extremely clean run of the 3 Apex quest you get after doing everything. Now I have full sets for like 4 weapons and think it's time to tap out till more content drops/g rank? I remember failing quests a lot more in World and Gen and 4U, even discounting stuff like extremoth/ancient leshen/fatalis which seemed design to chew through groups.
