Any Monster Hunter fans on CE playing the Wilds beta this weekend?

I just beat Arkveld on like my 5th or 6th attempt with GL. Much easier than demo Magnamalo, Valstrax, and Malzeno. I never got to try demo Nergigante, Gore, or Velkhana in their respective games though. If I knew Arkveld wasn't an Elder Dragon this morning I would've beaten it much faster, though I did cap it with barely a minute to spare.

MH fan here, I'm gonna wait till the full release. Cause I know myself and I'll be sad after the beta ends cause I can't keep playing.

Nope, I heard it's the same build as the previous beta, has none of the performance improvements that the current dev build has or the benchmark has so I am not motivated to subject myself to that again

I can't run the beta or the game at all. I really wanted to get it at launch, but I'm going to have to wait a while unfortunately.

I did try demo Magnamalo on the PC demo of Rise after avoiding him on the Switch demo. Couldn't beat him though. Also tried Malzeno a couple times, but didn't put as much effort into it. I'd like to go back and see if I can do both. I mean I beat AT Nergigante in High Rank armor after like 10 tries, so I figure that demo flagships are probably doable now for me.

PSN is down now, I heard its due to it being hacked for some reason.

I would be if psn was up :(

Oh yeah that sucks. I was actually gonna play Helldivers 2 with someone that's on PSN this morning, but he couldn't get on. For that to happen on one of the two weekends when the MH Wilds demo is available just blows.

That's a shame. My 2060 can run the game at 1080p but not well. I drop to high 40s or 50s in the current build, and the benchmark which resembles the full release was only able to keep a steady 60fps during cutscenes or low action stuff. The RE engine felt great on REVII and Village but after Wilds I'm wondering if it's even worth it in a big open world map.

And speaking of the Rise demo's did what weapons did you try for demo Magnamalo and Malzeno? I only beat the former once on SnS, but the latter I was already pretty familiar with every weapon so I kept trying other weapons and beat it with those. The difference in weapon balance was very noticeable with Malzeno.

I built my current PC 6 years ago, so it was time for a new one anyway. I've just been pretty lazy in getting the process started.

Also, I only tried Magnamalo and Malzeno with Switchaxe. I could probably return to it and be fine since I played through World and Iceborne since, and I think I've gotten much better at MH in general. If I recall, the demo Switchaxe should be a pretty good option for Magnamalo anyway. I think it's the Almudron SA, and Magnamalo has a Water weakness. Rise and Sunbreak never really had any quests that imposed a time limit, so I think I just wasn't accustomed to the strict timer. Imposing a non-standard time limit is pretty much the easiest way they can really add challenge to quests in MH.
