Rise is Great played like 3 hours one sitting with friends last night knocking out Hub quests and learning movesets. Still confused on online though 1. Is online ONLY in the hub? Can you do village quests online? 2. Does hub progress only carry over to host? I got to HR2 and my friends did not

In Training posted:1. You can't do village quests online, only the Hub quests can be joined as a group. Thanks - weird that only I progressed then. You do get credit towards the urgent if you aren’t in your own lobby right? Also I unlocked switch arts but have no idea how to use them. Are these the weapon modes I heard about? I only played World

Hogama posted:I was playing in a friend's lobby and got all the clear credit from the urgents we did together. Thanks! Yeah I am not feeling the switch axe at all this time and I wanted to see if the arts eventually get me to use it again Wirebugs make the hammer SO fun to use. There is no longer any downside to the weapon because you just fly into somethings face and hit it Party Meiser posted:i can't stop using switch axe in any monster hunter. help I got into MH World first and I really liked the switch axe because it was The Bloodborne Weapon but something about it put me off of it this game. Not sure if it’s because of the starting arts being kinda boring or what but I wanna unlock more arts for it and keep trying because I absolutely loved it in World

I’ve seen people mention the switch axe has different modes but I don’t see those in the switch skills - are there literally different weapon trees with different play styles? Very cool if so, I know Gunlance has different shelling types which I never understood

Triarii posted:Seriously, I grabbed hammer as my first weapon out of the gate because I figured I'd start simple before trying other weapons, but it's been so hard to put it down. Impact Crater is a beastly move and doing the swap from blue > yellow stance for an instant full charge to maximize its damage feels slick as hell, and the unlockable Dash Breaker is a great gap closer that both does more damage when you're charged, and also maintains your charge through it, so you can glide straight into a fully charged slam when a monster tries to move away from you. The hammer is so so so good this time. Wirebugs make it so fun. I am for sure leveling hammers if not maiming them

Is it just me or does hammer have virtually 0 friendly fire? Even on smaller monsters I don’t see myself hitting allies often but I also don’t use the spin charge often

I just fought a Barroth and uh... I guess even with Hammer I shouldn't always be aiming for the head huh I got curious and looked up the hunter notes and the game actually breaks down where you should hit every monster which I feel like I should have looked up earlier. The bear isn't meant to be hit in the head either! You hit it in the butt

I didn’t even think of radial menu = infrequent items and use potions and whatever off the “normal” menu. The controls in this series are insane. mightygerm posted:This is not how it works in Rise. Wide is now the charge shelling build as it gets 2 levels of charged with the most damage. It also has KO damage with the stake, with slugger levels you can KO monsters VERY easily. This also means you don't want to use blast dash with wide and prioritize the 2 step fast WS combo. Ah good to know, when I occasionally play Gunlance I’ll just avoid Wide in that case. I have Hammers to KO things

Deified Data posted:Man, souring wyvern blade for SA is a work of art. That in addition to the insane buff to evade extender makes it feel like a whole different weapon, and I mained it all through World HR. Let's take a break from DB and enjoy this a bit Johnny Joestar posted:the people saying the game is easy were probably going purely off of village quests, which are very much just an extended tutorial. not that the game is blisteringly hard, though, for anyone who has spent a lot of time with world and previous games before that. even beyond that it's not even remotely actually easier than other, equivalent, tiers in previous games. The 4* village quests are easier than soloing some of the 2* hub quests from what I've seen so far

I played a LOT of monster hunter yesterday and went from a rarity 2 hammer to a rarity 5 hammer so I can’t quite tell if it’s just that I lost my frame of reference But with blue sharpness, HH buffs is the Hammer 2 wirebug move supposed to do... 680 damage hitting the head of a rathian in a 5* hub hunt? I love hammer so much. It’s making me like the game more

Ok so I tried a decent amount of switch axe (my main in world) and I just cannot get excited for it. I got the switch art that does the explosion dive which is cool. I guess you can stick the sword in monsters still. I dunno I feel like I’m missing something I’m going back to Hammer for now but it is a bit disappointing. Next weapon I’ll try is Gunlance

Are the hammer switch skills kinda bad? Other then water strike which is better than the alternative but still very hard to actually use properly the other ones feel like big downgrades Also do multiple hits KO faster? If I flip into someone’s head is it way easier to KO or is it based on raw damage

PoptartsNinja posted:Dash Breaker and Spinning Bludgeon are both really good, so the choice between them is pretty hard. Spinning Bludgeon is much better against slow or tall monsters like the bears or Anjanath, while Dash Breaker's full second of invulnerability while dashing makes it great against monsters that move a lot or have big hard-to-dodge AOEs. Dash Breaker also remembers your charge after you dash, so if you charge up to level 3, Dash Breaker, and tap your charge button you'll throw out the L3 charge attack immediately (or you can push and hold if you need to reposition after the dash). Dash Breaker makes Magnamalo, Nargacuga, and most of the other kitty dragons into chumps, it's great. Good call on dash breaker being better on the quick guys I’ll definitely try it out there. Some of those guys are a nightmare with hammer

In Training posted:I've been using the full anja with hammer and it's a match made in heaven It seems super good for hammer! I only have the gloves but 2 attack boost and 2 slugger is crazy I have tried some Focus and it's actually not really as good as I thought it would be? Maybe I'm using it wrong but I never really felt like my charge needed to be 10% faster or whatever I've been looking online a bit and people seem to think Slugger endgame is not as useful as having just more levels of attack or weakness hit or whatever but I love knocking out monsters 4 times a hunt

Diephoon posted:Hammer chat: charged impact crater feels so good every time it lands SO good It's even better when you can do a big heavy combo and still have the chance to do charge > switch to yellow > full charged impact crater as the monster gets up (it is on the ground, knocked out, because you are a hammer user) Like I know I just keep saying it but I had a good time with World, enjoyed it as my first real MH I got into, got to HR, and just stopped. Never did the HR endgame farm or that much multiplayer, just saw it as a fun action RPG I played for a bit Rise, to me, is better in every way and I think Hammer is a big part of it The wirebug movement is so fun and fluid and I can't believe I was playing a MH game without it The wirebug specials give some really good nice finishers to weapons that didn't have them - I think this is part of the reason I am less big on Switch Axe this time around. Who needs a big finisher when every weapon has a big finisher Hammer is so, so fun.It's incredible simple (Press button to bonk, hold button to bonk more) but it feels like when you're just focusing on the simplicity of "Hit Monster in Head" you learn so much about the monsters and the game and it's clicking with me much more than World ever did I was doing some low ranks with a friend yesterday and I switched back to Swaxe to practice a bit and I was just like I should play hammer again

Heroic Yoshimitsu posted:So why switch to yellow? Seems like blue is better in every way, though I guess I’m basing that mostly on its level 3 moves. Sometimes I only remember to switch when i accidentally do yellow’s spinning level 3. Does your hammer do more damage in yellow? People have mentioned it already but if you're in blue mode (which you should be 90% of the time) and switch to yellow you go straight to max charge. The wirebug moves all don't care which mode you're in, they benefit the same from max charge in yellow or blue - but impact crater (Jump up and slam down) does more than double the damage if you're fully charged when you start it, it's a big big big difference. So as an example you can do something like full charge > Spinning Bludgeon > Switch to Yellow for another full charge > Impact Crater, or you can big bang combo a stunned monster and then switch to yellow > impact before it gets up (instead of just sitting and staring at it while your hammer charges up) Also moving from blue to yellow mode makes you dash forward, so it can be a good way to close the gap on an enemy with your weapon out and ready PoptartsNinja posted:My favorite thing about Impact Crater is that the second damage number comes from you hitting the ground so hard the ground breaks and hits the monster from below as hard as you just hit it from above. Hell ya I changed my in-game title in lobbies to Hammer Gang Big Bang

What the hell is a kestrodon and where do I find 8 of them. Where do I get eggs. (I ended up looking it up but there are like 20 of these!)

My new cat gives me more drops, which 90% of the time is the reason you are fighting a monster. He also does a bunch of status effects and has status up which is a lot more useful than I thought it would be. My dog was fun to ride but yeah honestly a bit useless in a fight My old cat kept healing me to the point when I switched him out I did not realize how much I was relying on the healing and oh man you take a LOT of damage in this game at HR lol I do need to unlock all the sub camps though running to a monster without them across the map suuuucks, I didn't learn the wirebug shortcuts yet and I don't know where all the great wirebug points are

Sudden Javelin posted:Theres a lunatic I play with every now and then who hates capturing, not for any gameplay or drop percentage reasons, but because he thinks all the monsters need to die and also some macho "I finish what I start" poo poo I don't hate capturing but I do feel like the first time I fight a monster I like to get it to the end. Their moveset/behavior changes as the fight goes on and I like to experience it all. Capturing feels kinda anticlimactic Magna Kaser posted:Sort of, but in Rise you get less materials overall capturing instead of hunting the monster. Oh man this explains why it took me forever to get a marrow. I know this stuff is listed in monster notes. From what I've seen there are even some drops that are faster to farm in Village than they are from the HR version of the fight?

Veev posted:Being able to hop on a dog and use any item safely makes them A+, that being said outside of the chompers I have no idea what any of the dog gear does. I see them cast stuff with the scrolls but I could not tell you if it has any real effect. One of the scrolls I just got makes the dog attack faster which seems useful if you have a status effect dog There are 2 chompers, one where the dog distracts the monster you start with, one where the chomper sticks to the monster and you do bonus damage if you hit it. I use hammer so kinda useless to me but apparently very good for the quick weapons

Saint Freak posted:Just started trying some Greatsword last night and Rage Slash is some loving cool poo poo. Just yet another way for Greatswords to no-sell any attack, while also powering up as you take damage. This is incredibly cool but I never played GS and this makes it look much harder than I thought. With hammer you're charging all the time but you're fast, you're always repositioning waiting for a chance to smack a monster. I'm not nearly good enough to know when to charge if I can't move

Bunch of questions now that I'm in the highest rank. I had to go farm money so I could upgrade all my armor to max because wow it suddenly got hard, I thought I could wait and farm up some of the pieces I wanted instead of upgrading this assortment of stuff I have but I'm spending half the fights healing (I'm sure I'll learn them) - Should I be using rampage tickets on Talismans? Weapons only seem to require a couple for crafting and skills and I have a pile I'm sitting on and I don't want to accidentally throw stuff in I need for armor or decos - Where the hell do I start with Light Bowgun; I don't want to put too many resources into it but I want a decent starting set to get a feel for it and see if I like it and there are sooo many differences from weapon to weapon. Ammo types and reload speeds and deviations - Should I be using anything below Mega potions at the highest level hunts? Should I actually be sending my palicos to farm up stacks of max potions?

Thanks all! Yes I was getting more rampage tickets than I thought were useful but monster mats always feel in short supply. I'll keep a sub on honey, it's used in all sorts of stuff and normal potions are not cutting it in the harder fights for me.Tricky posted:Tickets flow freely once you start doing Rampages, so it's better to toss them in the pot rather than monster mats you might need later. Oof I was worried about that, I'm farming up Narg parts for the final axe to also do 100% crit and I need everything I can get. But yeah things like "the final upgrade gives you rapid pierce 2" seem to not be explained anywhere, the ranged weapons feel like a lot more trial and error than the others where you can read "attack 180 affinity 45%" and go ok this seems good. I'll definitely craft some of the earlier levels and use them on low level hunts with friends to see if I like the feel of it though, I was kind of sold on the whole jumping in the air and shooting bombs thing

Oh yeah I did that ore farming trick and made 150k (not the 300k you're supposed to make but good enough lol) and it's good to know that money is no longer tight. I still spent most of it almost immediately but I was kinda programmed to use points for stuff over gold whenever possible. Are points more useful? I use them mostly for the various palico activities but it feels like I have more than I'll ever need
