Fatalis is MR24 as well

I'd love to see how they justify that in-universe.

"Congrats hunter, the Guild has approved you to face off against any black dragons that come our way."

"Woah, already? Wow, that was fast. I figured I'd go hunt a tempered Brachydios or a Glaven...."

"Hahahahaha, slow down there Hunter! You're not ready for THAT kind of threat yet. One step at a time."

At least they said "this time". I guess the copium hope now is for MH6 to launch with it.

It's either that, or it's too late in development to add it.

I can understand cross play being a technical challenge, but I have no idea why cross saves would not be possible. I don't expect Nintendo would block that since a bunch of games already have steam/switch cross saving, like Civ6 and Hades.

I'd say it was Capcom trying to shore up platform sales but cross save is a guaranteed way to sell hella extra PC copies so who knows. Maybe cuz of covid they legit don't have anyone with time to make it happen by launch.

Are any of those Switch to PC? Or just one-way PC to Switch?

Civ6 I believe is cross platform so both ways. Same with Witcher. It’s just a cloud save option so you can save on either platform and immediately load on the other.

So, I'm a newbie that's working their way through the story missions in MHR. I've unlocked a few sets of armor and weapons maining the two crossbows right now, and I just wanted to know: with the skills available to me, should I go with an Attack Boost 2, Critical Eye 2 build, or go with a Critical Eye 4 build and no Attack Boost?

Yes, I understand the damage is pathetic, and I'll probably end up replacing them by the time I hit five stars or whatever, but I'm fine with taking my time.

You'll probably get more mileage out of Attack Boost 2/Crit Eye 2 unless your bowguns have relatively high natural crit chance. But also... why not both? :getin:

Yes, I understand the damage is pathetic, and I'll probably end up replacing them by the time I hit five stars or whatever, but I'm fine with taking my time.

Basically, the difference between the two is:
2 attack boost, which is +6 flat attack
2 crit eye, which is 10 affinity

Attack boost is better in the early game when your weapons raw attack is lower, as it's a flat attack boost. Affinity gets better as your weapon's raw gets higher as it's a % boost. Affinity is your chance to do a crit. Crits are 25% extra attack.

So for example, for a weapon with 100 raw:
AB2: 100 + 6 = 106
CE2: 100 + (100*.25*.1) = 102.5

Now if we increase that weapons raw to 200, CE catches up some:
AB2: 206
CE2: 205

AB actually got a buff in Rise as higher levels now also include a % based increase. AB4 is now a 5% boost with an extra 7 raw attack added on top. You should aim for this early on. Affinity becomes really powerful later on with skills like weakness exploit and crit boost.

Wow the game runs like a dream. Gunlance is very much like MHW but the lunge isn't a distance closer anymore :( I will have to get used to it all over again. There seems to be a bunch of new abilities but I don't know if they are available in the demo?

Rise Gunlance is the best GL has every been but it requires access to other shelling types and/or Blast Dash which the demo does not have.

It's got no limit on it at all. There's a disclaimer in small writing saying it's unlimited but Capcom reserves right to pull the demo at any time without reason.

I'm trying to decide what weapon to focus on for restarting on PC, but I fear I will not be able to resist the siren call of switch axe, the most perfect weapon. The power of both axe and sword.

Rise Gunlance is the perfect weapon and it made it very difficult for me when I started playing World because there was nothing that could measure up.

There's a chance I'll double dip and pick this up on pc. I remember forcing myself to learn the gunlance and finding myself loving it before having other games take up my time. Maybe PC will be what gets gunlance as my second main weapon.

Personally I want to learn Charge Blade even if it's, according to what I believe is the general consensus, the worst it's ever been in the series, in Rise.

World/Iceborne GL talk. This is a very fun mod: Schinkikamis Reworked Gunlance LIGHT. It does a number of things like adding some guard points but the biggest change is that instead of having 3 separate GL flow in Wide, Long, Normal there's a single unified GL type that allows you to use the elements of all three flows as you need to. All GLs are converted to Long, but a Long which has elements of each of the 3 types.

It balances pretty well and is a ton of fun to play. The one unbalanced aspect I felt was that you get access to some GL styles earlier than in the base game - where base game may let have have say Wide first of the lvl 5 GLs, the mod will make that a Long 5 with access to all 3 styles.

Check it out if you're playing on PC, highly recommended. Suggest using this LIGHT version, the base mod has a bunch of more unbalanced stuff in it. It's very stable. I went from the end of World LR through HR and to the Iceborne endgame with it, no bugs.

Here's a speed runner using it against AT Velkhana:

Also I wish there were more such weapon mods on PC. This is very thoughtfully done.

Rise CB felt fine for the short time I used it other than the Ultra seemingly having a broader spread than World, not sure if it really was. But that was good motivation to use the Super instead.

GU CB has a bad rep because it nerfed the Ultra by draining shield and changed up some of the flows. But I thought it more fun in the long run than the more powerful World incarnation because it made you use more of the moveset and you weren't just Ultra spamming all mission. Bad consensus opinion doesn't mean less fun going by that limited sample.
