Funnily enough there is like, ONE hunt where you can join at the start AND watch the cutscene together with your buddy so... it's clearly not even a technical requirement. Just a mindboggingly stupid design choice.

Sydin posted:Frostfang turned out to be a pretty disappointing fight all things considered, I know it's just an amped up Barioth so maybe we expected too much by a friend and I beat him in ~10 minutes first try with barely any hassle. At least his armor looks cool, and it seems to be pretty nice for hammer and GS, particularly when mixed with Teo as mentioned above. Frostfang Barioth Light Bowgun is the meta LBG for spread 3 now I think, the rest of the weapons probably aren't the best at what they do.

There might be some bugs with it, like if you do the full fake-Ruiner fight into Shara Ishvalda the Handler will say he/her in reference to your character's pronouns instead of the quest leader's character's. The other fights with shared cutscenes like the Kulve siege and Behemoth don't have any issues, but then again there's no dialog in those. At this point, there must be something fucky in the base code they don't have the time or ability to fix even though everyone hates it.

PoptartsNinja posted:Left trigger immediately after your level 3 charge attack or a spin attack. You've got about a 1 second window, it's basically the entire time the dust cloud from your hammer hitting the ground is still on the screen. That is ridiculously simple and opens up hammers into being even more ridiculous. It's seriously non stop damage with the ability to attack, clutch attack and weaken a part.

Is there a skill that negates frostioth's super ice or is it just don't get hit or hope you have enough health to survive a slam? Not a particularly hard or bad fight even with that, just wondering.

In Training posted:Audio bugs are so minor though, there's clearly nothing stopping them from offering the option. They just hate us. I don't know how minor or easy to fix it is. I assume probably harder than it should be if that bug in the Shara cutscene is still around almost a year after Iceborne came out. The other big issue might've been with another player tripping a "major" cutscene when they're nowhere near the party leader, or those expeditions that turn into hunts after you wander for a bit? Like personally, if that was the problem, I wouldn't have minded if the game made it so that most of the quests the whole hunting group could load into the camp, and the party leader would have to go out to "scout" for the monster to get the cutscene before the rest of the party could leave camp. It's weird to keep something so backwards in the game when even the older games didn't have that restriction, so I have assume there's some incredibly stupid factor stopping them from fixing that

Feels like Frostfang's role is to barf up gear for people who are getting stymied trying to farm up specific pieces for whatever build they're working on, what with being easy to craft and having big fat gobs of utilitarian traits. Which isn't unwelcome, really.

Iceproof mantle shortens the freeze, doesn't completely eliminate it, but it's enough to dodge the incoming slam relatively easily. Torch pods from slinger remove ice patches, but that's more for someone saving you in multiplayer. Pyromancer fucked around with this message at 09:45 on Aug 9, 2020 |

Devlan Mud posted:Frostfang Barioth Light Bowgun is the meta LBG for spread 3 now I think, the rest of the weapons probably aren't the best at what they do. Yeah that was Shepard's consensus in his latest video. I also agree with him that FF Barioth was a huge letdown and that hopefully going forward Capcom will ignore the minority who  'd over Alatreon being too hard and make more monsters like him, not less. What the game really needs right now is more actually challenging monsters for endgame.

Rocksteady is a death sentence when he's enraged lol I'm not too disappointed in the fight itself since its at least fun. I wish it was a little tougher so it could be bumped up to tier 3. Also I dont get why its event only and it doesn't show up in guiding lands or investigations. Now give me lucent nargacuga capcom

The issue with MHW, and Iceborne to a marginally lesser extent, is just endgame variety. There’s only so many tempered guiding lands nemielle I can force myself to do at once.

It is the number one reason I do not like killing them for meat. They don't/can't fight back and they're generally chill and awesome to hang out with. I'd rather eat the big fuckers with teeth and fangs

They could've gone with having the host in that cutscene (and every other one) with the idea of the host = MC, and friends = competent people to help out since the handler is worse than dead weight. If they don't allow you to just play through the story with friends in MHW2 then that's going to be a huge disappointment. At least they didn't go the DQ Heroes 2 route of "beat the level before you/they can play it with friends"(and only for that single mission so have fun re-inviting every time) route and only put in the annoying cutscene restrictions.

The one thing that’s not clicking is how wide of an angle I have in regards to blocking a hit. Or maybe it’s because Cephadrone is just a fucker but I could not block some of his tail swipe and hip checks to save my life no matter which direction I was blocking.

Getting my rear end owned by ducking Gypceros in the guild key quest at the start. These are all tuned for MP, right? Dude hits like a truck and drains my stamina and from there I just get poison or thrown around.

I did the Temporal Mantle upgrade quest today, not too bad at all. I probably end up preferring this fight for farming Research Commission Ticket+ to the Metal Rath duo fight since Kirin is pretty simple and Namielle with less health is manageable. Onto MR 175 for the Affinity Booster upgrade perhaps!

Been slowly progressing through the village key quest and yeah MHGU owns. It’s such a neat little experience that I can play anywhere. It’s great! I have the MHGUDB app on my phone which is how I’m tracking all the key quests then when I’m missing a component for an upgrade I can chase the quests (and prerequisites) for them. I found this guide for lance progression and it seems to cover all the bases as far as weapons and armor to aim for while progressing so I’ll stick with it for the time being. Only thing I’m still not 100% is how I should be setting up my items loadouts and what works with what. I just eat food, chow rations for stamina then go chase monsters to triple poke to death. EDIT: it’s loving killing me Shield Assault is. It in World this loving OWNS. Happy Noodle Boy fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Aug 11, 2020 |
