I always have fun with Charge Blade until I hit a monster that gives me trouble, then I feel like I'm spending way too much time in sword mode just trying to get hits in to build phials and it's not very satisfying. Maybe I should keep it as my backup weapon for farming monsters I've already figured out? I've always loved Hunting Horn, I think I'll stick with that as my main even with the new version.

I didn't play very far into MH World, but glancing at layered armor it looks like they require a lot of materials to make. Is that right or is it stuff that drops in high quantities? Like the wiki says a set of Barroth layered armor takes this list: seems like a pain 25 muddy crown 15 Barroth chine 10 weathered crag bone 15 fierce dragon vein bone

Alxprit posted:So fun and dumb tip about layered armor. You don't need all those materials. Each of the pieces does not have their own requirement. Hovering over any piece of the full set will give you that list of materials, but you forge the set as a whole rather than individual pieces. So divide all those by 5 and that's the true cost of it. Ohh, hell yea Oxyclean posted:I'm not following. Why do you divide by 5 if you can only craft it as a whole set? Is the cost just being incorrectly displayed? I think you craft one "thing" and it gives you the whole set, but looking at each piece individually shows you the cost for the full set, which can give the impression that you need to spend the full set cost five times, once for each piece.

Aerox posted:I didn't check the icon but I got a voice prompt where my guy yelled "IT'S WEAK! YOU CAN CAPTURE IT NOW!" so I thought that was the signal. Does he just randomly yell that sometimes for no reason? Sometimes monsters heal up a bit when they run away, I think it's when they sleep but not entirely sure. It's not a lot but might be enough to get them back over the capture threshold. I usually attack them for a few seconds when I catch up just to make sure. Also, this might not be your problem, but I didn't realize for a long time that just pressing the tranq bomb button without any direction on the stick will throw them right at your feet. Originally I was always frantic when I was ready to capture so I just was chucking them in every direction. The best way to aim them is just run right into its face, stand still and throw them right where you're standing.

Two things I hope get patched: 1) Ability to turn off the hunting horn song list. Right now you can only turn it off if you also turn off the note bar and infernal melody tracker. The song list takes up like 1/4 of the screen, it's really dumb. 2) Ability to change voice after character creation. Right now the option is there but you can't actually select a different voice, apparently it's for dlc voices.

In World I feel like every single filler quest unlocked something, a canteen ingredient or other village upgrade. That doesn't seem to be the case here although I'm still on 2 stars, does that change? Not a huge deal but I do enjoy the satisfaction of Unlocking.

I think it's important to note that the last few "from-scratch" monster hunters, including world, had their Complete versions ship a few more months or a year after the base game. In Monster Hunter 4, the base game didn't even ship outside of Japan, what we got was the final release. I would suspect/hope that Rise's final edition is DLC like Iceborne, rather than a whole second release.

In Training posted:By HR3 you start getting a lot of villager requests, don't worry. I like that this system is back and that they unlock entirely new weapons, it's such a fun bit of flavor. Game is full of so many fun weapon designs, polar opposite of world's aesthetic Oh that's good, ironically those villager requests were what made me put down World and wait for Rise. I loved ticking off the ingredients boxes but wanted to be able to do it portably so I could have something on my TV in the background. And agreed, even this early on I feel like there are more fun designs than I had after putting 20 hours or so into World.

No Mods No Masters posted:Ehhh. The framerate dipping isn't actually even what bothers me the most although 60 certainly wouldn't hurt it, it's the horribly cluttered UI at 720p. It's kind of amusing to me that you can click anywhere in eg this video and have probably a 50% chance of seeing a UI crime against humanity. It seems to be a relatively common complaint so maybe they'll patch it though. The UI complaint myself and Your Computer keep having is in the first screenshot, the song list (which you virtually never need anymore) protrudes obnoxiously into your vision. You can turn it off, but only by also disabling the infernal melody meter and note bar (which are tiny and helpful to have). It needs to be a separate toggle!

DeathSandwich posted:More of them look like hammers than not, it's just that they have hammerheads bigger than your torso. They don't really do like a 10 lb sledge or anything.

mightygerm posted:This is not how it works in Rise. Wide is now the charge shelling build as it gets 2 levels of charged with the most damage. It also has KO damage with the stake, with slugger levels you can KO monsters VERY easily. This also means you don't want to use blast dash with wide and prioritize the 2 step fast WS combo. So if I'm understanding, normal and long should be using their shells on the slam burst, and not doing regular shelling? Or do you regular shell between pokes too?

Am I understanding gunlance correctly here: Wide: Use charged shots Normal: Use the slam-fullburst, and wyrmstake Long: Also use slam-fullburst, and wyrmstake Are you not ever supposed to use normal non-charged shots? I have a good feel for each gunlance attack but I don't really know how I'm supposed to be prioritizing them. I also don't really get why we have wyrmstake. It's powerful, but in terms of gamefeel it's another slow chargey attack in a weapon that didn't really need one.

Snake Maze posted:That's pretty much right, although long can do well with charged shots too. Uncharged shots are pretty vestigial, although using them in midair to cancel a blast dash into a midair hailcutter can be useful, especially for long which has a stronger wyvern fire. Also just using a bunch in midair to ascend vertically is fun + cool, albeit not actually useful for anything beyond a 1000 IQ midair stall to dodge attacks. Thanks! I never realized you could do that in midair, I saw it in videos but thought it was part of blast dash, which I haven't gotten yet.

Is there any visual cue that infernal melody is charged? Because if so I'll just turn off weapon info entirely when I run hunting horn. There's just no reason for so much of the screen to be filled with the song list, when there are only three songs per horn and every song is just "button press, twice". It's so annoying.

LuckyCat posted:I’m struggling to understand the Weapon Tree and Weapon Upgrades. I’m using LBG. I currently am using the Wind Thief L. Bowgun I. When I try to upgrade it says I don’t have the base weapon. I guess the base weapon is Hunter’s Rifle I? So I crafted one of those, went back to the Wind Thief, selected Upgrade and paid the money, and it deposited a regular Wind Thief L. Bowgun I into my inventory For weapons, "upgrade" means "create by upgrading the previous weapon". In this case you created the Wind Thief L. Bowgun by "upgrading" the Hunters Rifle I. The next version of the Wind Thief L. Bowgun is the weapon to the right of it on the tree, which you would create or upgrade to by selecting that weapon. The distinction is there because some weapons can be made from scratch, which uses more materials, in case you don't want to upgrade through the whole tree. It's confusing because with armor, individual pieces are upgraded, which makes them stronger but keeps them as the same basic item. It's different.

I'm not sure I like monster riding, it's very cool but feels kind of cheap, I just get a ton of free damage on another monster with no risk or downside? And it controls kind of gimmicky, like it should be used in special boss fights only. From a gamefeel perspective I do think it's more engaging than previous forms of mounting, which felt like a pause in the action while I did some quicktime events.

Perry Mason Jar posted:Do broken parts get picked up even if you don't, uh, actually click A to pick them up? Not clear from the Quest Completion screen and I get too excited to chase down mons. I love to IG wirebug -> B -> wirebug -> B -> A repeat. I can fly!! Just to be clear on terminology, if you're looking for a specific part or at drop rates, a "broken part" usually doesn't drop on the ground. If something says it's a % from a broken part, that means if you break that part during the fight, that material has that % chance to show up in your quest rewards at the end. The shiny things that drop on the ground when you fight monsters are "dropped materials" or something like that, they have their own category on loot tables. The exception are parts that physically detach from a monster and fall on the ground, usually tails. You have to carve those, and related materials will have a "carve tail" or whatever entry on the loot table. In the cases of both the shiny drops and the tail carves, you do need to pick them up in the mission to get them.

Kagrenac posted:My main problem is the complete reliance on melding. If you could get charms from doing whatever it would be fine, the rng is worse than ever but you could just forget about it and be pleasantly surprised when something good shows up at the end of a quest. But with them only coming from melding and melding requiring massive amounts of monster parts/rampage tickets you have to constantly engage with the system if you want to ever have anything decent. Oh for sure. It's very poor design, I think you gotta just write it off for the sake of sanity.

I guess you can stick the sword in monsters still. I dunno I feel like I’m missing something I never played switch axe much before, gave it a try today and while I like it, I feel like both sword and axe mode each need one extra combo or attack type? It's a lot of doing the same few swipes over and over. I mean it's an axe, only so much you can do with it, but hunting horn has like four different ground pounds and multiple ways to combo out of a pound, for example.

new kind of cat posted:Savage axe mode with an elemental charge blade whips complete rear end. I completely ignored elements in favor of impact in Iceborne, but it’s great here. You can go into savage axe mode without a full phial gauge, just remember that the X attack charges one phial per attack and the A attack uses one phial charge, but is a double hit attack. So your ideal combo is just X A X A alternating for as long as you can get away with it. Also important to hold the attack buttons through the attack animation for that elemental buzzsaw damage. Do you need to time holding the X attack so you're only holding the button while it's passing through the monster? That's how the ingame description sounds but I only get phials on every 2 or 3 buzzsaws. I can't tell if I'm pressing or releasing too early/late, or if I should just be holding the button the entire swing.
