The Monster Hunter Thread: A Whole New World

[KimuraLOX]

Anyone else getting slapped up by the Nergignate? He feels way harder to me than he was in the beta. Gonna try again later today.

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.

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

Happens pretty much every time I play with friends and my stream. Consider yourself lucky.

Nergi is mad aggressive and he can one shot with that dive move.

Also I just got 3 legiana gems!

You should’ve seen it in MH4U when it was broken and the Kinsects were a pain in the ass.

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.

That’s it. Like we can forgive you for not using mega barrel bombs and all the buffs. You’ll get there when you need it because you’re struggling and looking for answers

Me: Imma take this Poogie everywhere, train this muthafucka on command to headbutt ERRYBODY

Cousin: Can we roast him?

Me: lol wtf :mad:

I’m still fairly new to the game, so there’s a lot I don’t know yet. The long sword has slowly faded away from my rotation of favorite weapons, leaving the light bowgun and the insect glaive. I wish that weren’t the case, but here we are. I love to jump, motherfuckers.

Any time I see someone using the hammer I just ask ‘‘why’’. I mean I get why it’s fun but it’s the most potato weapon. Basic ass combos basic ass gameplan.

Idk, I personally get bored of it so fast. I need some thicc ass stance changing/weapon morphing combos.

Screw you :mad:

Simple and clean is best. Gotta have good fundamentals.

And really most of the weapons are simple when you get down to it. Even CB isn’t that crazy, and SAED is too good to do anything else. Then you have SA where the axe portion is just not even that good. If you want to over simplify shit you can do that with any weapon in the game, so there’s no meaning in trying to look down on any one weapon. This isn’t DMC3

Edit: Also, didn’t you JUST talk about dumb elitism and the game not being as complicated as people say?

Hammer and Horn are really valuable in teams because of stamina drain and how they can can target parts of the body that don’t conflict with all the edged weapons.

I think he understands that, he just thinks it’s basic, which is ridiculous considering every weapon in the game.

The axe flail with dash juice used to be the best dps you could find against prone monsters. I’m upset about that because while it’s still there you’d rather do sword combos now and build into a finisher. They’ve made that mode irrelevant.

Yeah. My point is just that if you want to over simplify shit you can do that with anything in the game. I get that he thinks it’s boring but calling it a basic game plan is meaningless because everything has a basic gameplan

I’m a Lance main. I agree with you. I just have an ongoing gripe with the Switch Axe changes.

He mentioned he didn’t know why someone would do it. People heal in games and that’s often boring too. I was just trying to explain that gameplay often gives way to mechanics and that’s often enough to interest people.

[Hawkingbird]

After using the great sword for a few hunts I can’t go back to Switch Axe. It’s not as fun to me anymore and it’s up swing annoys me more than before.

[chadouken]

I just discovered the awesomeness that is Insect Glaive. There’s really no reason for me to use any other weapon.

It’s a fucking game changer.

Also, I just found some old Jagra skidmarks. That’s disgusting.

[Citrus_monkey]

You guys are taking my shit way too seriously.

I’m just being a silly willy.

It’s like how everyone makes fun of that one kid in high school who was really good at badminton. Sure he might love it, but it’s still a potato sport.

Come on, have a laugh.

[Phantom_Angel]

Just came across the Lagiana for the first time. Cool monster. Tried to kill it but the bitch ran. If the set looks cool, I’m gonna start farming it.

[d3v]

Going full heavy bowgun, down the Tobi tree, spamming Slice Ammo and farming slashberries.

Why would you even try to get in the middle of that mosh pit?

Most of the people I group with like to get in the middle of turf wars.

I’ve come to believe that most people have an inner Leeroy Jenkins that they like to listen to from time to time.

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 hate when people keep going on full attack once you join in. These fools seem to forget that the difficulty scales in multiplayer.
