It's fine to want something but it's important to understand that the amount of effort a task might take does in fact have bearing on what gets, it always has.Casnorf posted:Context is for kings. Ironic that you can't understand the context that gaming companies like Capcom are businesses and thus can only devote so many resources to DLC and Iceborne DLC adds more than just monsters. Consider the DLC World got prior to Iceborne: Deviljho, Kulve, Lunastra, Behemoth and Leshen/Ancient Leshen. If those five only the last one has a completely new skeleton. Even Rajang is not immune to this since it became DLC because it needed more development time and everything after Rajang has followed the pattern of re-using skeleton to save resources. liquidypoo posted:You really need to stop getting bent out of shape about us talking up the stuff we want to see. Everybody enjoys games differently, and you seem unable to just simply accept that! This remark would carry more weight of you and Casnorf did not literally just badmouth competitive players and those who want tough monsters. That said I apologize to Silver for taking this personally, I will try to do better. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Someone wanting something doesn't mean they don't understand the dev process. You dont need to jump in and mainsplain it and white knight the developers, they're probably doing fine on their own.

If Capcom is a business and thus can only devote so many resources to Iceborne DLC, especially given that MHW is more than two years old at this point and the new generation of consoles is looming on an ever closing horizon...Has it occurred to you that in this context, MHW is not the only product which might use the assets generated by work on other, more unique fan-favorite monsters? Kings, indeed. There you go putting words in people's mouths. I called them ultracompetitive tryhards, which I can see might be read as derogatory in its hyperbole...if it weren't a literally accurate assessment. Would it offend your delicate sensibilities less if I referred to that particular class of players as the leading asymptote of the skill ceiling curve? I mean, it's the same exact group, but if you're looking for a fight, you'll make any excuse you can to find one. Look, it's kind of neon-sign obvious that not only are you not a game developer, but you have a tendency to speak for people instead of letting them speak for themselves. This gets tiresome, and is honestly annoying my friend Silver, so I'm gonna call you out, right here, by giving you the opportunity to do the thing you think you've got a handle on. Let us settle this like the pasty, sun-fearing nerds we clearly are! I, casnorf, challenge chimera-gui to a game jam duel. The stakes: banishment from this thread! Should I lose, I will no longer post in this thread, upon pain of toxx. I challenge player two to endure similar stakes. (I think we can get this one enforced, haha.) The structure should be as follows: we each shall have a certain allotted amount of time to create from scratch a playable game on the subject of a (relatively) impartial judge's choosing. I, as it turns out, can't really code, so I'd be making a card or board game of some stripe, but I need not insist on that particular limitation for my extant opponent. I am quite certain we can find or convene a panel of friends to judge the merits and an eventual victor. Details can be worked out as necessary, but as of this moment, the gauntlet has been thrown.

Based on my research, it seems like Black Diablos' designation as a Subspecies was an artifact of Monster Hunter G not having Variant as a designation which is why it, Red Khezu and Black Gravios are designated as Subspecies when they should actually be Variants. The first monster to get the designation of Variant was Rusted Kushala Daora which was introduced in Monster Hunter 2. And then there's Scarred Yian Garuga:  First codified as a Variant in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, these have actually been appearing in the series since Monster Hunter Freedom prior to the introduction of Yian Garuga individuals with uninjured faces in Freedom Unite; a fact that didn't come to light until the 15th Anniversary Monster Hunter Monsters Size Comparison last year:  In Stories, Yian Garuga only appears as standard unscarred Yian Garuga individuals on the hatching screen immediately after birth with the juvenile Yian Garuga adopting the appearance of Scarred Yian Garuga upon leaving that screen. And speaking of Stories, I forgot to talk about Diablos and Monoblos though admittedly both have the abilities to Roar and Dig. Chimera-gui fucked around with this message at 05:03 on May 6, 2020 |

OK! Here be Dragons! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jvDri51f9WM So, I didn't get to go into much detail about this because we ran out of time, but we're at the point where we must make a decision. I can't do the Urgent Quests for 10* Village until we hit HR 8 in the Hunter's Hub. (That's G-rank, btw). Currently we're at... 6 or so? I think? Either way it'll be a bit before the LP cats can qualify for it. There is another option though! I could switch over recording to my main file, with my end-game cats, and really show the game what for! Plus side, skips all the grinding! Downside, we would have to bid farewell to Nyalcon and crew. So, weigh in on this if you have an opinion!

I vote for do whatever you think is best, multiplayer prior to World tends to be obnoxiously tedious since it's a separate campaign altogether so I cannot fault you for wanting to skip straight to G-rank especially since most of the lr/hr stuff in the Hub is stuff we've already seen by this point.

"Will it Cat?" Special Episode: Breaking Felyne News part 6 Welcome to today's edition of Felyne News Network. As usual, we are your hosts Purregrine, and Meowltese! Nyalcon is still on special assignment at the Hunter's Hub. We'll go to her now for her latest report.  Nyalcon here, and my faithful nyameracat- Zelda, reporting to you again from the Hunter's Hub! Last time, we fended off the dreaded Nyakarkos and earned Elite Hunter status! I'll let the Wycademy Gal explain further:  Anyway, congratulations on your promotion to Elite Hunter! What what! ... Okay, serious voice time. *Ahem* This means you can now take on 4* Quests, which are also known as High-rank Quests. These High-rank Quests are a bit different from the regular Quests you're used to. Let me explain...  Well, in the case of High-rank Quests, the guild cannot always safely send you to the camp. In short, it means we can't specify the starting location of a Quest. You won't know it until you're there. Second, you have to consider the supplies for your Quest. Usually, the are in your Supply Box, right? However, in the case of High-rank Quests, some of those supplies might not be delivered on time. The monsters in High-rank Quests are on a whole other level, so it's hard for the Guild to send support. Wow! It's like, "Hey, you did a great job for us so far, but now you gets no love."  She doesn't know how right she is. I know, right? Silly puny human hunters needing to lug around all those items! Must be tough. Of course, before we could tackle High-rank anything, first I had to help Holly with the Nyakarkos. Guild regulations being what they are, after all... It does get a little silly sometimes. We gathered our purrty and ventured forth!  Nyakarkos looks scary, but it's... honestly not that bad? First, we enjoyed the lovely sunrise from the top of Wyvern's End. Then it was time to dive head first into the breach! The main purroblem with Nyakarkos is it can send your furiends to the Bone Zone. Try to dodge while covered in that blue goop, and you'll be trapped in bones! It's a binding effect like Mewzutsune's bubble or Gammeowth's snow clods. Two ways to deal with it! Either... Get a furiend to smack you out of it, or  Soothing Roll! Nyakarkos drops Timeworn Ballista Shots as shinies. And fur once, Prowlers can actually use them! Shocking! You can also gather normal Ballista Ammo from the piles of junk around Wyvern's End. They work the same way. Now, one interesting thing about Nyakakos, it has a big glowing weakspot on its back. Normally, you can only hit it when you knock the beast over, but well. We're cats. We have boomerangs. Oh, look out! It's pissed! Holly figured out that you can just machinegun Nyakarkos' weakspot by aiming your boomerangs. Here's a nice close-up view of it. Aim your 'rangs and get flingin'! Against such a coordinated assault, it didn't last long. And with that, Holly could join us in High Rank! Now, if you were expecting High Rank to be much diffurent... well I guess it is if you haven't been doing as many Village Quests as we have. But... we have. So, furgive me if I truncate this a bit. We fought Kecha Wacha, Seltas (yes, Seltas. Not even Seltas Queen. Just ordinary "dies in 5 minutes" Seltas), a big dumb crab, and two bird brains. The only noteworthy things: I discovered Nyan Kut-Ku sleeps standing up,  and we killed that stupid faking Rubber Ducky as soon as it got back up. The experience is valuable, at least. And at last the Guild Manager had something fur us!  Your target is a Plesioth that has appeared in the Misty Peaks. We researchers are fascinated by its ability to live anywhere from the driest deserts to tropical forests. Of course, that doesn't change a thing with regards for your Quest or the hunt. I'm sure it'll be a simple task for you, but that doesn't mean "be careless," of course. It's just a Plesioth. I'll be as careless as I want. You're not my mom! That's all from me for today! Next time, Urgent Quest! Nyalcon, signing off. Hello? Can you hear us? I think we're good. Hello, gentle viewers! This is Meowltese and Purregrine, reporting to you live from FNN headquarters! That footage you just saw was recorded awhile ago. We didn't hear from Nyalcon for a long time after that, and we were starting to worry. But worry not! We finally got in touch with her, and she's fine. However, we're facing a bit of a purroblem now. Basically, this special assignment of hers has taken too long. We can't progress any further in the Village quests until Nyalcon reaches Hunter Rank 8 (which is the beginning of the infamous G-Rank). Right, when last we heard from her, she was about to tackle the Urgent quest for rank...5. Kind of a long way to go. So, we had to make a decision. Our choices boiled down to two options: pull Nyalcon out and send in some high-level purrfessionals to take over, or tell Nyalcon and Holly to kindly hurry up so the Cat Crew can finally gain access to the last Urgent Quests in the Village. Consensus among you, the viewers, was to let us decide how to purrcede, and we have decided. We sent Nyalcon some new armor, and told her to give them hell! We'll go now to her latest report! Hello! Nyalcon and Zelda, reporting again from the Hunter's Hub! Thanks for the new armor you sent, ladies! It makes me feel powerful! Now, I believe we had an Urgent Quest to handle? Your target this time is a Plesioth. It's a large Leviathan, also known as "The Wyvern of Water." I heard from a few hunters that it has a really annoying hip attack. So if what they say is true, look out for that! Also, says here in my notes that it's rather fond of... frogs? What are you supposed to do, fish it out!? Now, I was told I need to hurry things up down here. So, I think you know what that means! Wait, she's not going to... Yes, I think she is. Oh boy, here we go... The hour's apurroaching to give it our best, and we've got to reach our purrime. That's when we need to put ourselves to the test, and show them the passage of time! We're going to need a meowntage! Meowntage! Ooh it takes a meowntage! Meowntage! Show a lot of things happening at once, remind everyone of what's going on. What's going on? And with every shot, show a little impurrovement. To show it all would take too long. That's called a meowntage! Meowntage! Girls, we want a meowntage! Meowntage! In anything if you want to go, from just a beginner to a purr-o, (and that's current level cap for me!) you need a meowntage! Meowntage! Even Rocky had a Meowntage! Who's Rocky? Hush, she's on roll! Always fade out in a meowntage! Meowntage! Fur some reason, I felt a sudden chill down my spine... Eh, I'm sure it's nothing. If you fade out, it seems like more time has passed in a meowntage! Meowntage! Ahem, so, serious voice fur just a moment here. Holly and I discovered something while we were fighting the Seregios! I got hit with Bleed, and had the idea to try burrowing. I waited underground fur a few seconds, and yep! The Bleed went away, just as if I had crouched, but without the risk of getting attacked! Very handy. Bet those poor puny humans wish they could do that! Right. Anyway. One more time! Meowntage! Meowntage! I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news on such a happy occasion, but we have a bit of a situation... We thought the disappearances of the monsters and airships were over, but now they're happening again. Areas that were previously safe are reporting regular attacks every day. Which can only mean that this monster is even fiercer and more ravenous than ever before. I've already given the order to recall the expedition team. Let's hope it gets to them before Nakarkos does...  Sounds like things are "getting real," as they say. But we will save that fur another day! The way to HR 7 is open! Not much further now! This is Nyalcon, signing off!

I wanna say the Arena spawning thing is quest structure since they still do it even in World where you can have three large monsters occupying a map at the same time, including Elder Dragons. My best explanation for this is that they don't want you to have a situation where a certain Elder Dragon just spawns in while you're fighting Anjanath or Rathalos during High Rank arena event quest even though that is something that can happen during a Master Rank expedition. And since we got to see the Corpse Dragon's true face, let's talk about our friend shall we?  It seems like design team decided to make it a cephalopod pretty early on every concept design following the first one is rather mollusk-y with the main influence seeming to be the nautilus:    You might have noticed Nakarkos attacking a Ceadeus in the illustration 26, that's because these Elder Dragons have been documented capable of taking down Ceadeus pups as well as Shen Gaoren though they usually feed on smaller monsters such as Uragaan, Diablos, Hermitaur, Daimyo Hermitaur, Volvidon, Glavenus, Brachydios, Agnaktor, Rathalos, Nargacuga, and Lagiacrus. Conversely, the only things that could potentially threaten a Nakarkos are other Elder Dragons like older Ceadeus which are their only known predator. And since you mentioned octopus intelligence, I'm gonna post Zorak's Octopus segment from his Endless Ocean Let's Play: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tMFvDClbAJE

I'd actually put Akantor and Ukanlos in the Fanged Wyvern Class since Fanged Wyverns are quadrupeds with wingless forelimbs that are larger than their hindlimbs whereas Brute Wyverns are large theropods. Akantor's walking animation is even similar to that of a Great Jagras when its stomach isn't bloated. Historically they actually were classified as an Elder Dragon at one time, albeit temporarily, after they were discovered. Rajang was also thought to be an Elder prior to be classified as a Fanged Beast because it's strong enough to take on Elders and even preys on the Elder Dragon Kirin. The thing to keep in mind regarding Elder Dragons as a class is that they are creatures that defy typical classification and sit outside of the standard ecosystem, regardless of any superficial resemblance to a dragon. Gore Magala, Rajang, Deviljho, Akantor and Ukanlos are all categorized as Dragon-Level Monsters; Gore due to being the juvenile stage of Shagaru while the others are due to their strength.

Amatsu is an interesting beast to learn about. He first appeared in Portable 3rd, and his first appearance in the west was in Generations. His name is actually Amatsumagatsuchi, but for the localization, they just went with Amatsu. His themes are definitely fitting to his fight. When you first start fighting him, the first phase theme called "The Robe Dancing in the Gale", where he is calmer, and basically flies around the battlefield. Once you do enough damage to him, he transitions into his 2nd phase, which is titled "The Burning Life From Inside the Storm", and if you're paying attention to the music, you will know exactly when he transitions, as the music quite literally SWELLS to show he is now fighting for real. He starts spamming tornados, with quick wind ups, and flying into the air to fire literally liquid hydrogen that explodes on impact. It's breath attack is actually a devastating mixture of wind and water, which causes water to rapidly release out of wherever it hits. He is also gigantic, coming in at 102 feet long. He is so powerful, that he returns to the same mountain range every year at the same time, and forces the Zinogre leaving there out. He uses his jade organ called the "Storm Vesicle" to control the storms with such pinpoint control, that the moment he dies or leaves the area, it disappates in seconds. He is in a category of Elder Dragons called "Forbidden Dragons" or "Dangerous First Class Monsters". This category includes any Dragon that has the power to destroy all life in the world. He's also vastly territorial, as mentioned with the Zinogre. When he's first introduced in 3rd, he's shot an airship out of the sky. There's more information to be posted, but it involves things we haven't seen yet in the LP, so I'll post more on those as we get there.

His name is actually Amatsumagatsuchi, but for the localization, they just went with Amatsu. To be fair while Generations marks Amatsu's first physical appearance in the west, it's name was actually localized for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate as it was one of the monsters whose materials could be obtained by trading the Caravan's Wycoon. quote:He is in a category of Elder Dragons called "Forbidden Dragons" or "Dangerous First Class Monsters". This category includes any Dragon that has the power to destroy all life in the world. I think you may have gotten your info mixed up as Amatsu is actually not a Forbidden Monster. While Elder Dragons in general can be dangerous with many of them being more of a type of phenomenon than mere animals, Forbidden Monsters AKA Dangerous First-Class Monsters are a threat level above regular Elder Dragons and regarded as the stuff of nightmares in-universe though I won't go into too much detail on them for now.

The question mark icon is not exclusive to the Black Dragons but it is used for them prior to Alatreon getting its own unique Icon in Iceborne. I feel like the reaction to Escaton Judgement you saw was mainly because people didn't know what they were doing as people got used to Iceborne Alatreon's mechanics, the fight has gotten more manageable. Frostfang's stuff definitely helps but it was possible to defeat Alatreon with Velkhana stuff even before Frostfang was added as I had after several attempts. And funny thing but he actually does somewhat change color in Iceborne, his scales and wings glow orange in Fire mode and a whitish blue in Ice mode as shown in his trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YwGO543HfjQ Regarding Black Dragons in general, they are said to be monsters with an unnatural presence about them. These monsters are so feared that documentation of them has historically been destroyed, possibly by the Hunter's Guild, as the knowledge of their existence is considered something man is better off without. The Guild itself is also rather spooked by them, believing that these monsters can bring the world to destruction if they wanted to. In fact the only record of these Dangerous First-Class Monsters are old legends and children's songs. Alatreon is said to dislike the presence of other living creatures and would prefer to live its life in isolation, to the point some individuals seek refuge at the bottom of the ocean. Another Black Dragon from 3U known as the Dire Miralis is such boiling high temperatures that it killed all life at once and stained the sea blood red and has even sunken multiple islands creating what is known as the Tainted Sea.

And you start with easily my favourite Elder Dragon, I adore Chameleos. In addition to chameleons being one of my favorite lizards, Chameleos has a Wonderland-y feel to it with how it vanishes and reappears like the Cheshire Cat since real life chameleons don't actually turn invisible; that level of Camouflage is in fact a characteristic of the octopus. Chameleos's theme also carries a mystical vibe to it as does the equipment hence why I wished it was in World.

I've been slowly been working through the LP and finally hit episode bad hot takes itt (32). My first and only entry into the game is MHW+Iceborne (very late into the game) so it's been really fascinating watching another entry in the series with a much larger variety of monsters. Also been enjoying it because of the cats of course, I can def say I wish they had added it into World. That said, just an excuse to eventually play another MH game eventually. Do have to say it's pretty awesome seeing so many things travel between games (hit sounds, sfx, monster patterns/attacks, hunter weapon moves, literally almost everything etc) so that it's really easy to follow along in another MH game without getting lost! Look forward to seeing all the monsters I haven't seen yet in the series that are in GU.

I don't really have much to say on though I do like how its metal shell looks in World which does tie into a Variant of it named Rusted Kushala, so named because the Kushala's trademark skin (which is made of an organic metal) has began to rust due to oxidation with the air and thus must shed infrequently as they grow. These Rusted Kushala Daora are far more aggressive than the species is normally due to them searching for a safe, secluded area to shed their skin since Kushala Daora's skin becomes extremely vulnerable after shedding, making it quite weaker and more susceptible to attacks.

Speaking of stuff that I wished had been added into World, I mentioned before that Chameleos' equipment has a mystical vibe and Genie Cat is a prime example of this though it's not the only example. First up we have weapons modeled after genie lamps such as the Light Bowgun which can even get an optional nozzle to make it even more lamp-like and is named Blessed Lamp, Cursed Lamp and finally Genie's Lamp:  Then you've got the Hunting Horn though strangely it is named Blessed Ocarina, Cursed Ocarina and Genie's Ocarina (perhaps to avoid confusion with the LBG) while the Horn is Monster Hunter Frontier G was based on a shamisen:   Looking to non-lamps, we have the Bow and the Insect Glaive which are instead magic staffs with the Bow even having a grimoire as its quiver and the first stage being named Genie's Grimoire which while the first stage Glaive being named Caster's Rod:   How about armor that makes you look like a wizard/witch? Well Chameleos has you covered as well, say hello to the Mizuha armor:

Chimera-gui posted:Kushala Dorka and cool weapons/armor talk Kushala Dorka is my least liked monster AND elder dragon in World. Just tornados everywhere and nothing actually fun to fight about it (constantly flying and WIND SHIELD  ), it's only redeeming feature being it looks kinda cool with the metallic armor skin and being reminiscent of Silver dragons from 3ed D&D (my fave dragon). I look forward to the next entry in the series for more options in armor/weapons and monster variety.

In my gushing about Chameleos and its stuff, I had neglected to mention that Kushala is a Japan exclusive Monstie alongside Teo. Fittingly, Kushala has the ability to Fly while Teo is able to Lava Walk and Roar:  Speaking of whom, let's talk about our exploding Lunar Red Dragon friend shall we? First off is that like Rathalos, Teostra are the males of his species while the females are known as Lunastra:  While the pair debuted together in Monster Hunter 2 in Japan and Monster Hunter Freedom 2 internationally, Luna hadn't been seen since Freedom Unite prior to making her grand return in World which revealed that she's an explosion loving pyromaniac like her mate: Even having a bonding attack that combines her heat wave with Teostra's supernova. The main difference is that Teo was given the ability to inflict Blastblight from the fourth generation onwards while Luna lays down blue fire that slowly damages whoever stands in it as well as slowly drains the health of anyone near them who doesn't have protection against the heat such as cool drinks, even in areas that don't normally require such protection. What's more when a fire attack comes in contact with the blue flames, it will deal damage and create more strong wind. Lunastra's most infamous attack however is creating a massive heat wave that will quickly drain the health of anyone in it's range and creates both blue fire nearly everywhere within it's range and wind pressure to make it difficult for any hunter caught within it to escape. Also Silver mentioned in passing that Teo's armor is good, the reason being it has the bonus skill Master's Touch which prevents your weapon from losing sharpness during critical hits while individual pieces can give you Weakness Exploit, Blast Attack, Latent Power with the Master Rank adding Heat Guard and Critical Eye to the mix making it no joke for a general damage build.

I love that while I have no experience with what Deviants are or having any experience with them, I can instantly tell what monster Silver's main prowler's weapon is from.  Certainly my favorite thing about MH is the consistency within the world the devs have kept from title from title.
