The Monster Hunter Thread: A Whole New World

For a apex monster Legiana is easy af.

It’s not an EA/Activision game. It’s a passion and love from the devs. There is also nothing else like it. You can play Warframe instead of Destiny and probably played the shit out of Destiny 1. There is no substitute for MH other than more MH.

More often than THAT. 99% of my attempts to rescue people from their own hubris by joining SOS quests end in failure. I don’t know wtf these guys are thinking when I show up. They go from scared and making dumb mistakes, to bold…and making WORSE mistakes. Suuuure, go right ahead and sharpen while Odogaron is about to do his flying slash. What’s the worse that could- Quest Failed …that was SARCASM!!

I’ve had a bad habit of sharpening like right in a monsters face when they’re panting or if they’ve done some long windup attack on my palico. I’ve had this habit since OG monster hunter. I never fixed it and I never will. It’s like an art form that I’ve mastered.

I’m not even half kidding. I usually always finish sharpening the fucking thing and dodging RIGHT on time to avoid stuff.

These Toxin Sacs are really annoying me. I keep getting Pukei Sac+1s. Welcome back to MH I suppose…

Fuck, there’s a lot to take in playing this game. I’m having a blast with it so far and I’m only level 3 hunter. Barely scratching the surface. I love how it has so much depth in the raw gameplay, the options with weapons, and also the upgrade system and collections and all that. This is my first MH, and so far I’m glad I made the plunge. I think I’ll be busy for a long time.

Congrats and welcome to the life changing experience that is MH.
The community does have a lot of dumb elitism that makes it seem like the game is quantum physics; it is not. It’s overwhelming at first but it becomes 2nd nature fast. Kind of like fighting games, ironically.

Whetfish scales sharpen in like half the time or less than the whetstone. I like fishing so I have a bunch, and I’ve replaced the whetstone radial shortcut with Whetfish scales to fast sharpen safely in battle.

One thing I really like about it is that the combat system uses button combos in conjunction with typical RPG elements. Being a Capcom game, it makes sense. And it’s awesome.

Someone link me that discord. Stuck at Hr 13. Either I’m helping friends or I’m playing with twitch streamers for follows. Knocking motherfuckers out mid song with Hunting Horn is too fun.

I’m having a difficult time getting into the session to join the SRK squad.

The one I posted isn’t up anymore lol. I just joined you and sent the invite.

Lol…I’m still at level 6 quests after beating the first zorah magdaros storyline bit because my OCD won’t let me see all these weapons I can craft. I just made the 2nd diablos glaive and even though its affinity is -30 its got like a raw 620 damage and it absolutely rapes HR anjanath.

Diablos armor and all diablos weapons look good. Always. Always have, always will.

I don’t have any squad invites. Weird.

I sent them to a few people and I noticed some haven’t joined… I’ll look into it tonight.

PS+ ran out for me :frowning:
I think I’ll finish this game solo and then jump in to multi in a month or two to really grind the shit out of endgame with people.

Also I was watching a friend hunt vaal hazak and FUCK this is now my favorite all time MH theme. Heckin’ thick!

Biggest complaint I have about the game is that matchmaking is really janky when it comes to trying to play with specific people/friends. It seems very random that you can’t join someone’s session or someone can’t join yours. There doesn’t seem to be any explanation on why this is. Either joining works or it doesn’t. Squad Search is fucked too. I’ve had times where it just throws me into a random room because I couldn’t join my Squad’s session. Hopefully Capcom at least acknowledges the problem and is looking to finding a fix, because good lord it is quite frustrating.

In other news, my first Bageljuice hunt nets me a Bagel gem. Next hunt, I carve one and then get another one in quest rewards. Nice. Too bad I have no use for these gems at the moment. ĀÆ_(惄)_/ĀÆ

I’ve literally had no problems with this, is it a common problem?

It’s a problem I have whenever I play with my friends.

Sounds exactly like the problem bloodborne had in it’s first couple months.
