I'm having so, so much fun already. I've tried MonHun a ton of times and always bounce off due to the huge amount of systems at play. So far I've tried all the weapons, understand what they do and am effective. I'll be spending some time and money on this game for sure. Are the premium cosmetic items infinite use? I got the ninja outfit from the track and am scared to use it at an early level. Inzombiac fucked around with this message at 20:40 on Jun 4, 2019 |

The hammer finally clicked with me and being able to poo poo down monsters routinely is soooooo satisfying.

Lord Wexia posted:I have been playing a bit since launch and have noticed the quality of parties has dropped sharply. I am only at gear level 300 or so, but I am consistently in groups where the other 3 are downed constantly (and usually quit out) and spike the danger level. I'm around the same area and almost never get a full team but at least they are usually competent.

HEL YALL YOU CAN CHARGE AXE ATTACKS WOW THIS IS SO MUCH BETTER Also you can move wile charging heavy attacks but not light ones. Weird. So far I think axes are my favorite. It has just the right mix. Staff is not far behind since the inherent wound damage is pretty nuts.

Goddamn I'm really in the groove with the axe. Even fast shitheads like Embermane get smacked! I was kinda feeling the drag with this game and then switched to only doing hurts that help finish quests. Y'all should really do the same. There's a lot that unlocks and cores to be had. Also make the Drask axe. Yes it's elemental but it does +20% damage to a monsters head. Since that is where you should be anyway, there's no reason not to use it.

Normally the chains would be my first pick but they've yet to click with me. Maybe once I get more diverse gear I can make a full evasion set and really go ham. I did a full hammer party yesterday and it was delicious. We were doing so much stagger damage that the (bullshit electric horned) monster could never stay on his feet.

Niiiice. I just got that throw and don't have the haft yet. It's so much better than the standard throw... until you miss and it goes off into the woods. https://youtu.be/i7ZuIgBHVT0 Inzombiac fucked around with this message at 16:06 on Jun 8, 2019 |

Bogart posted:If you are next to a monster and downed just get yourself up, you are jacking the danger meter like nuts. I’m feeling the “300 power people don’t know how to fuckin play” slump hard. I'm getting people on dire Umbral hunts using umbral weapons and sometimes radiant armor. IT'S NOT COMPLICATED.

NeurosisHead posted:I played this back in the open beta and I'm glad to see it's still going! I installed because why not, and it's had some pretty sweeping improvements. Had fun tooling around and slaying monsters and learning how the weapons work now. Are the little platform icons by people's names telling me they've got actual cross platform play going? If so that's pretty dope! Yeah, cross-play is in and seamless.

Sailor Dave posted:Maybe I'm still a bit early on, so pubs are pretty disorganized, but hammer seems really group-unfriendly. I struggle to land hits in solo as is, and having the aggro get randomly assigned to someone makes it too hard to line up staggers. As you play, you'll notice the animation tells of the monsters. Then you'll star evading attacks by reflex and land shots *just* after their attacks.

Test your hammer skills against that annoying Terra bug. It's fast, it's invisible and it has wounding ranged attacks! I hate it! (But I love the weapons and armor)

Riftstalker kept murdering me all the time until my 4th hunt and something clicked. Now I can stomp it and almost always get a no-hitter.

Everyone should know that if you can kill a monster before they get to phase two, you'll get double rewards. It makes going back to the early monsters more tolerable because you'll vacuum up parts like crazy.

AngryBooch posted:I really dislike the part breaking mechanic and apparently this reward too. It doesn't make sense, the monster is dead, harvest all the loving parts! I prefer it so you have to learn the break points and focus on parts you need. It means I can't just sit and smash faces all day. Sometimes I gotta smash toes. Good variety.

I'm really counting on us being able to cross-progress on Switch. Or at least transfer progress once. I hate gaming at my desk but the Switch... is perfect.

I'll get you two in an hour or so. Nearly all permutations of Something Awful and Goon Squad were already taken. So we are SOMETHINGAWFUL. If someone comes up with a better name (not hard), we can pretty easily reform. Edit: Bloodmane Embershithead can suck my rear end.

Nah, none of the monsters have a ton of moves. They are kinda easy to suss out. The pylons shoot ball lightning that can be hit back for massive damage. Gunners and chain blades can sweep them and make the whole thing a non issue.

RazzleDazzleHour posted:No that's a different electrical boss with summons, I mean the one that makes a forcefield Oh, the electric fence one? When it starts laying them down, go after the SECOND one it placed. The monster will try to make its final leap back to the first pylon and you probably will get smashed. So long as you remove two pylons, it's a total non-threat. He sucks but overall is fine.

Matazat posted:How do I get past the +5 wall? I feel weak as gently caress fighting the Dire Patrol boys, but I need their mats to upgrade my gear any further. Plus all the randies I group with keep getting steamrolled, and nobody kills the shock quills. Argh. Go and hunt the same one over and over until you learn it really well. The difficulty of MonHun games is not getting gear, it's learning the moves. Eventually you can no-hit monsters that used to stomp you. It's chasing that feeling that keeps me going.

Julius CSAR posted:I started to play this but it didn't seem fun because there was no "hunt" to it. I spawned in with a couple of other guys and they immediately ran right to the monster and started loving it up and the whole lasted like, five minutes tops. Is that typical? Can I play by myself? You can solo, the monsters will scale. The hunting aspect is light for sure but the arenas get larger as you go on. One fun trick is that when the monster goes from phase 1 to 2, it will try to point itself towards its destination. It's not 100% reliable but keep a look out. edit: Invites sent to everyone.

zazzix posted:Is there still a clan in this by the way? Looking to grab an invite whenever. Sorry, I have the clan but I'm not coming back to this game. It got me back into Hunter games and since I already had GenU, I don't want to put up with the bullshit of this one. I didn't see a way to transfer ownership but we weren't exactly linking up a lot to begin with.
