I'm snowed in the house all weekend with nothing but Monster Hunter, a bottle of bourbon ... and a 5 year old and a 3 year old.

Tei posted:Tried the range weapons but don't seems to do much damage, maybe? Did you catch the tooltip about changing ammo? Can you actually remove Jagras tail? I blasted it with carving ammo the whole fight and I think I got a pop-up about breaking a part, but his actual tail didn't pop off before he died.

Nobody talks much about the lance, but it was the first weapon that really clicked with me. It's a lot like being a defensive boxer, just grappling and working the body until they keel over.

Ciaphas posted:I still haven't tried Lance yet, because I always figure why not put a gun on it There is no weapon in the entire game that feels so much like taking this gigantic monster and absolutely bending it to your will. Every direction he turns there you are poking. He squares up on you but you're already gone, sidestepped out of danger and still poking. Always poking. Right up to the point where he slams his teeth into your shield, and by the time his head stops ringing you're back under his belly jabbing away. So he turns tail to run and you become a freight train. It's not meant to be a flashy weapon, it's meant to be an utterly demoralizing one.

It sora goes like: Hey I'm having trouble fighting this monster that uses a lot of poison damage ... and it turns out the quest monster right before him crafts an armor set that negates poison. So you go kill that guy a half dozen times and craft your nul-poison set and go fight poison monster. And poison monster drops a rare crafting mat! That crafting mat is the key drop for a couple of weapon types that inflict poison status, but you're not really great with any of them. But maybe you could be! So you decide since you got the rare mat you'll go make the poison dual blade set. But to do that you need to mine up some ore from the previous zone. So you go hit the previous zone to do some mining, and while you're here you might as well fight the bird guy, because that's a really fun fight anyway. Plus you might as well practice dual swords on him, so you craft the dual sword set that leads INTO your poison set and learn to fight the bird guy with your new weapon so you can craft the poison version after you mine up the ore. Then you take your new poison dual swords plus your acquired dual swording ability and try to fight the next quest monster, who does a big fire breath attack ... And so on.

How spoiled we'll all be with Health up on armor giving us health. Back in my day Health +5 got you halfway to the 10 points you needed to get Health (S) which gave you 20 Health. Or something, it's been a while.

Kiggles posted:It's still true, they just have a big static charge shot dragon piercer, which turns out to be their primary damage source - it's just rather high-risk high reward, so it may be more practical to use the new mobility features to stay in close, and only take the big shots on clear opportunities. It was a real eye-opener watching that video of the guy one-man bowing Diablos in the beta. After watching the "how the bow works" video and messing around in the training you assume the basic loop is "charge a shot, hit O for the bonus shot, roll into your next shot, hit O, run around waiting on stamina and repeat, dragon pierce when out of range or as a big finisher." It's actually "roll into every shot, including your first, and dragon pierce every 10 seconds."

I like dragon's dogma if that's related at all... You will never find a Monster Hunter game better suited to starting the series than this one.

Drowning Rabbit posted:Supposedly it's a harder version of the hunt as well. Only 15 minutes, and it sounds like it's the high rank or G rank version of it? Gaijin Hunters video said it was going to be a 'more difficult' version than the first one you fight in the retail game. Maybe they want to encourage people into MP to test the lobby system so they put a quest in too tough to solo with the included gear.

I just meant, I imagine most folks played the first two betas solo only. I would have liked to do a 4-man against Diablos but it's tough to communicate that when the quest you queued for is a different monster. So in this beta they put in a big challenge monster as its own quest to encourage people to queue as groups and go fight it. I'm sure it will be soloable, but it'll be easier to go group up against a big monster when you don't have to luck into a group willing to do it.

CodfishCartographer posted:I just want to give props to SnS. It's more than just an item weapon! It's super fun to constantly attack and roll around, and the new jump move loving rules and is super stylish. I was shocked by how fun SnS was in the beta. It's definitely more interesting than just the "starter weapon" (and may not even be the best one of those in World). Vaulting yourself straight up in the air and dive bombing the back of heads over and over makes you feel like a super hero.

I don't want to have to buy and craft and manage ammo at all. I want my gun to start the hunt with all the ammo it's going to get, and automatically reload at the start of each mission.

ChrisBTY posted:Ok, changing the subject a bit. They have gone leaps and bounds toward making the game extra accessible, beautiful, and functional. Everyone in this thread is super super pumped for it. But it's still very much MoHun, and it matters why you bounced off of Tri. There's still no hard lock, still item management, still %-based drops needed for crafting even low-level gear, still needing to cook your raw meat in the wild. The weapons you played in Tri are still here, and still mostly do the same things. What most of us consider HUGE weapon QoL changes, a person who didn't already spend 200 hours with a weapon would consider subtle or maybe not even notice (eg, the lance move out of the guard poke or the GS shoulder tackle). This is still the game where crafting the fire switch axe means breaking Qurupeco's nose several times in a row for a 1/5 chance at his beak to drop.

Harrow posted:What part made you bounce off? I think you'll be fine, as the "craft gear to hunt bigger monsters" aspect is oversold a bit. I've always just crafted the gear that either a) falls off the monsters I like hunting or b) if i get one of the lucky rare drops I might hunt that monster a couple more times to make something out of it. I really enjoy fighting brute wyverns and usually end up with all those sets just for running the fights for fun. One of the best armor sets starting off is typically just made of mining materials. The only real gearcheck in the game is sharpness on your weapon, and unless you're bouncing off the monster every single hit, losing to the timer is still not your gear's fault.

jizzy sillage posted:3U was my first MH and Qurupeco nearly made me bounce, but one day it clicked for me and it was smooth sailing after that. I've never fought any monster in this game as hard as I fought Barroth the first time I played MH. Every fight after that has been easier because of the "git gud" he imposed on me. I was so excited for him to be in the beta, it was like getting to murder an old friend over and over.

I've got 2-3 buddies who are jumping into the game as their first Monster Hunter, and I can't wait to help them get started. They are all big BIG time Destiny 1 guys who spent a thousand hours learning mechanics and fights who just want to kill big stuff and grind their asses off on something deep with enjoyable repetition. I think this game might draw a lot of the types of players in.

I'm excited to fiddle with the radial menu on live where the settings will save longer than a weekend. I didn't even bother with it, but I suspect once you get it set up it'll be a game-changer.

I always liked the idea that the companions are the actual Monster Hunters, using and manipulating us like tools. Doesn't hold up in multiplayer, but multiplayer is outside of canon in enough games I can buy it.

I've been watching those Nerg speed run videos from Reddit, and it's really something else to watch people play some extremely over-the-top Monster Hunter. And while you obviously can't draw too many conclusions about relative weapon power from the setups against a non-typical monster, it's neat to see how people have worked over the movelists already. The Lance in that fight is all about power guard countering and guard hopping over standard poke-dodging (as far as I can tell). The SnS guy pretty much only does the backstep-leap for damage, nearly every move he makes just sets him up to vault over and over and over. The HBG fight looks like a scripted event in any other game, just nonstop explosions. The Hammer guy almost never does the standard charge-stop-attack, but I think is doing one of the moves that leads out of moving while releasing then following up with triangle?

Tellaris posted:Going back a couple pages, but what you are seeing there is the "brutal" version of the level 3 charge slam. Like I mentioned earlier if you use the hammer self-buff it changes your moves. It adds a flourish to the charge slam that makes you spin before you hit, and also adds a little hop to the level 2 charge uppercut. Thanks for straightening this up!

If you're worried about downgrading to play with friends, your weapon will have a greater impact on that than armor, unless you want to just eat more damage in solidarity. If you're worried about sets being too focused, like if evade lancing becomes a big deal and people stack huge amounts of evade+ on a gear set just to lance in, that's the kind of thing that only really becomes a big deal in end-game. I don't recall, but is there even a way to throw away old gear? I guess you can sell it for box space but I always just kept everything no matter what. E: You can lose gear by using it in upgrades, in older games there were always two classes of weapons (metal and bone) and the crafting paths branch out from there often using a weapon from the previous tier to save on some crafting materials, but you're going to end up with so many LR weapons of all types floating around your box there should always be something to grab that won't totally overwhelm your friends in a party.

That's one of those systems it's not too hard to look back on and say, "yeah to hell with that." I'm trying to rope a group of friends in, and I can't imagine trying to talk them up one, "You need to hit HP+ 10 before you earn HP+ 1, which gives you 20 extra HP."
