Lance benefits much more strongly from skills than other weapons. Having Guard, and especially Evade skills, is a complete game changer in how you approach and respond to monsters.

That's why I said 'impact never goes out of style' you will always be a great help smacking a head and buffing. I for one get very excited when I multiplay and a horn shows up.

Guard +2 (which makes blocking take less stamina and do less pushback) and Auto-guard (the computer helpfully pushes the block button when you'd get hit unless you're in an attack animation) basically lets you just stand next to the monster like a derp where the only thing you ever need to think about is, "Wait for the monster's attack animation to finish then push triangle". It's a great way to sit around and learn the monster's tells. I don't know if it will work precisely the same way (since armor skills have changed a lot), but something similar will probably still be possible.

Are there levels of it or just all or nothing. Would help my charge blade transition where I forget blocking exists.

Ciaphas posted:Has the hivemind reached a consensus on the quote "correct" way to play switch axe this time around so far? I remember that being a problem in Generations, where the whole thing ultimately degenerated to "never not sword" (or was it "never not aerial axe", I forget), so I never played it then, and I've forgotten up to now to even try it in World. It is back to where it was pre-Gen/XX - you always want to be swording then exploding. However, there will be at least five posts in response to this citing corner cases for why axe is the best.

Sword is unequivocally better, provided you have the sword charged (without they actually do pretty similar damage). However sword drain is significant enough that you'll have to spend at least a little time in axe. Also certain monsters when enraged are just too much for sword to deal with (Rath in the beta) so axe is what you'll use to get a little chip damage in and try to get a knockdown or stagger, since it's much more mobile.

If the monster is at all fast I use axe more. Which is the 'corner case' of 50% of monsters.

The sword really doesn't seem to last that long in World. That said, Wild Chop is your highest dps move but you're completely stationary doing it making it not great most of the time. If you're alone and the Monster is down, grab the weak spot and chop away.

So what is the verdict on Hammer combat now that the circle button combo exists? It kinda seems like at least the last hit is worth going for but hit before that is pretty weak in comparison to just doing the normal pound/golf swing.

Aside from the dumb roars knocking me off of him los wasn't a big deal, but I got the idea in Tri that swaxe was the best against him (I have no idea why) so I've had a ton of practice with that particular setup. I used to be able to say axe was at least good for it's attack that reaches super high, but everything isn't flat now so half the time the jerk's hover range is too far away for any melee. It's not that axe mode is complete trash, it's just the lesser of two modes.

Do the golfswing when monsters aren't stunned, do BIG BANG when they're stunned/trapped.

Bombadilillo posted:Thats cool. Is it on a charm? Are there levels of it or just all or nothing. Would help my charge blade transition where I forget blocking exists. Autoguard is a terrible, terrible skill and I truly hope it's gone. The big problem with it is that it does nothing to improve your skillset at all - you gain no additional moves, none of your existing moves ate improved in any way, etc. It won't allow you to guard when you otherwise vould not, it ONLY presses the guard button for you if you do not but could have. At its best this means you're going to block a few extra attacks, but when it triggers, it means you were either waiting to block anyway (and thus it was pointless) or you were just standing there like a moron doing nothing, since it won't trigger of you're attacking, evading, or whatever else. Worse, though, it teaches you bad habits and bad muscle memory. If you use autoguard for a while, taking it off is going to make you worse at the game, at least temporarily, and it takes up slots that other, actually beneficial skills could be taking. I'm not usually the guy who looks down on "crutches," but autoguard is JUST a set of training wheels, and actively drains your player skill. I use evasion skills as a crutch - but when I don't have them, I'm still conditioned to evade, at least.

Hey, I picked up mh3u again to finally get to dire miralis. My question is, how do I remove the NEW marker at the armory? I've tried scrolling over the armor, I've tried checking every comparison menu for them as well. Nothing I do takes it away, and it's getting super annoying!

I've never played a monster hunter game but World looks interesting. Is it probably going to be easy enough to pick up or should I try some of the earlier ones first? I like dragon's dogma if that's related at all...

I like dragon's dogma if that's related at all... There is a knowledge barrier to entry. BUT this is a marked point of change and streamlining for the series. I would not touch anything older. 1. Start by playing around with every single weapon. Theres usually a training area with an easy monster. 2. The one(s) you like. watch a "how to longsword" "how to switchaxe" video (the will exist before or shortly after launch) and it will explain all the moves and what your normal combo is and all that.

Several people tried to repro it but couldn't, it's likely some really corner case thing with multiplayer and hitlag. It is obviously a bug I mean come on he one shots the Rathalos. Like really lmao.

Best I was able to do was cut its tail off and get it limping away before running out of time and I still consider that a victory considering it's only a two hit KO from that rear end in a top hat.
