It's called 'Summon Endemic Life,' gatherer cats (white bag icon) get it primarily. I don't know if other cat types can get it but if they can it's rare. Should be the 3rd skill (which unlocks at cat level 10, I think?)

I'm not really worrying about post-release content for this game----it is a Monster Hunter game, Capcom's flagship title, and likely is about to sell like 4 million in its first 30 days of release. Probably will be getting like 10 or 12 new monsters this year and eventually some kind of expansion----they'd be insane not to copy the Iceborne model again now that they have a great handheld to do it on + the RE Engine.

Harrow posted:I found that as soon as I got the kinsects you can buy at 3-star village, insect glaive felt great. The speed-type ones that unlock at that point have just enough speed that they don't feel punishing to use. I'm looking forward to faster ones, but those are where I felt like they had reached "minimum usable speed" for kinsects. The higher speed feels great but I am so weak for the rank 2 paralysis one. Especially in multi when you have 4 players all wailing on the immobile monster.

I assume they'll release an expansion eventually, yeah. I guess they could do what pre-World MH games did and just have a full-on updated rerelease but Iceborne seems like it did well with the expansion model so it'd make sense to do that again.

I don’t know what it is about Rise, but I’m finding myself bounce between different weapons way more than I ever did in World. Might try the dual blades for a bit based on the design of some of these weapons alone Also, Capcom where the gently caress are the layered weapons/armor? Some of these weapons are too glorious like this hammer that’s also a giant tire wheel

Shipping 4 million copies is easier than selling them, though. Shipping just means that they went to a retailer.

Star posted:I'm really enjoying the ease of finding other people to bang out a hunt with. It's almost equally as fast as preparing for it solo and more fun with all the chaos of 4 people and 4 helpers. Indeed, it's seemless every time, and occasionally I'll drop in at the end of the hunt and get all the materials for free

Hammer bros (or anyone) -- I'm completely overwhelmed by the huge amounts of weapons and armor available already. I just hit 4* -- is there a particular armor or hammer line I should be angling for? I've just been picking the one with the highest damage/defense numbers but now that elements are involved I have no idea what I should be farming up for. I also have no idea what skills I'm supposed to be looking for or if they matter this early.

If you're finishing quests in a time you're happy with then keep trucking on. Once you get to near the end of High Rank is when you'll probably start "having" to pay attention to stuff like that and then in any future content as well maybe.

The default controls don't require The Claw for anything ...I don't remember now, is dpad left/right to scroll items not the default? Did I just gaslight myself?  But yeah, I have it set that way. On the Pro controller I can use the edge of my thumb to scroll thru items while moving, but the Hori Split stick has different angles and it doesn't really work, so I have to stand still. (e) Can also use my right thumb to hit right on the dpad, barely, on the pro; not happening on the split for obvious reasons

How long would you all say a solo hub hunt lasts, given no frills or gimmicks and some vague "average" gear and competence? I tried an Arzuros for a laugh and it took almost 30 minutes, which felt pretty bad

The windup to get into demon mode takes longer and kinda holds you in place, and you don't run around faster during it. The damage you get out of the dodges seemed negligible to me so I am still using normal demon mode. All it is is a vehicle for me to do aerial poo poo anyway. I feel like my brain gets smaller every time I hit the A button and jump on top of the monster because I know it's not always the best option but it's always the option I WANT to do.

Then in World I could switch items with the d-pad, and yet for some reason I would just unconsciously use the "hold L and press the face buttons" method. The thing that I found impossible to get used to in the past became just like the automatic behavior only after there was an alternative. It's really weird to notice. Sounds like you might've had the same experience

I'm def trying to get used to using the d-pad, but it can be clumsy at times. Probably less so if you put all your important items on the radial menu and keep the actual item bar for rare things you don't do that often.

Some day I'll learn to use silkbind moves and stop sitting there eating poo poo with a lance. You don't need the silkbind, necessarily. Lance has enough mobility in its toolkit to close most distances quickly enough. Do you abuse the poo poo out of Guard Dash to keep close/safely reposition, and use Dash Attack as soon as a monster hops away?

Harrow posted:Decorations are craftable this time around, right? They are extremely stingy with the jewels needed to craft them for some reason, they are limited to quest rewards and you will get something like 0-2 jewels per quest when the better decorations need 5 jewels to craft. It feels really strange to be limited by jewels instead of parts since you were buried under mountains of jewels in the older games. The charm grind seems like it will be absolutely awful, they play with letting you aim for skills for the first the first couple tiers of melding but you are entirely at the mercy of rng for the best charms. It's also incredibly expensive, throwing all the materials you get from a quest into the melder probably won't let you get the maximum 5 charms per meld unless you were doing a rampage quest or elder dragon. Charm RNG was tolerable in older games because every quest gave you some and you really didn't need anything more than something with a skill you wanted and 3 slots. Getting slots at all feels much rarer in rise and there is a much larger range of potential power in both skills and slots. Kagrenac fucked around with this message at 17:45 on Mar 29, 2021 |

I'm gonna slide into the conversation and ask: what do you do when the jerk's jumped back too far for one Guard Dash, but too close for anything but a weak quixote charge? Seems like you can't readily chain the dashes, unless I'm thinking of the wrong move
