Ayooo, here's the next topic for monster Hunter Wilds. First update came out, a new monster, a new ranked monster and a few other goodies.

Let's use this topic to hunt!

Nice.

Bro I can barely get into any of those tempered miz sos games. Always errors me out. Need some more Gore Feelers, tho. They're a bitch to get.

Should we set up a group that can do more tempered fights? That's the worst part, trying to join online and it's always full lol

I'm in a different squad with two other CEmen but are you all still using the one Hambo posted in the last topic(Squad ID is MK86Q9SH)? Because I have yet to join that one but I do wanna play with Hambo and anyone else I used to play with here.

The game gives a shitton of tempered Arkveld for some reason.

I'm in that squad, hang out there sometimes when I got nothing better to do.

And from the last topic,
i still havent been able to figure out a pattern in regards to the monster climbing mechanic.
Mounting works like status buildup. You have to hit them with mounting-enabled attacks over and over again, and when the "status" builds up enough to trigger a mount, it happens. But it gets harder each time it happens. First one is super easy though.

Yeah I am but never at the same time as anyone else.

I do have a heap of saved investigations for Gore.

I think T Arkveld is so common because it spawns in every condition where as the others are all weather dependant

I'll see someone in the squad lobby every now and then. I should join it more often though. Usually I'll just wake up my PS5 and start playing with it still in offline mode. But yeah, you and Unsuprised_Pika are the ones I remember playing with in Rise. That was fun. :P

Arkveld in general really do be popping up flippin' everywhere.

I think its damage ws halved, affinity down to 5% and duration cut down to 90 seconds instead of 120

Maybe
So much ART

Finally started to just skip all the cutscenes and yeah that helps a lot. I dont know why they insist on trying to have a story in these games. Nobody plays MH for the story, and if you do want that then thats what MH Stories is for.

I liked how Rise handled it. There you just got short intro cinematic for every monster and map, while the main story beats were pretty minimal and non-intrusive. There was none of this boring ass slowly follow this character while they tell you boring exposition shit.

Im just powering through the story so I can get to the good part of the game

I don't mind trying to give the games more story and a cinematic feel. They just did a really boring job of it. The Quematrice intro and all the scenes with Wudwuds are amazing though.

You wouldn't believe how many people complain about this series not having much of a story. It's the modern day we live in. All AAA games must be cinematic.

I think there's a lot of cool cutscenes, but no doubt the story does slow everything down. I was still satisfied with it, but I can see why many others wouldn't be.

Ive seen people complaining about the length of the story too. Not that its too long (which it is for how intrusive it is), but that its too short . People are literally saying the game is only 15 hours long

Do these folks not understand what MH is? The story aint the main game. I hate to come off as the old man gatekeeper yelling at a cloud, but it really does feel like the over emphasis on story was done to appeal to game journalists and casual fans who would never play these games otherwise

Idk man. When the game lets me cut loose and just fight monsters its a fucking blast, but they need to just let it go when it comes to putting a story in these games. Or at the very least get some better writers

I mean. Yes. That's exactly why they did it. They specifically had a director saying that he believes the game's wild success is due to the story emphasis.

Yeah the story itself is mediocre and the structure of it is bad. It feels to me like Capcom can't really do good stories and it's one of their biggest failings. The walk and talks are the part that people tend to really hate and there's no way to skip them or even speed them up. The cutscenes are often fine or at least somewhat interesting, and if nothing else you can skip them.
I like the story overall but not necessarily how it was implemented. It certainly makes your hunter feel like a badass though

I will say I like that the hunter was given a voice this time. I also kept the Palico voice on and found it to be more amusing than I expected it to be.
Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi
<sneaky beeping>
I wouldn't have minded more voice options. Six is generous for a whole game's worth of lines though. Also just like in previous games, they could have given longer/more comprehensive clips during character creation.

Agreed on palicos though. I love my cat's goofy little voice. It sounds like Sokka with a little bit of Yunobo mixed in.

Yeah, I don't know what the deal is with the difficulty. I'm finding High Rank in this game way more difficult than either Rise or World HR. Jin Dahaad does not even feel that hard but I barely scraped by.

I think there is some weird input delay that is one of the major problems though. I just don't know what the cause is yet.
Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi
<sneaky beeping>
I will agree on the input

Sometimes it feels like there is a delay or it just eats my input for no reason. I've broken away from the monster to heal or use status cleansers only to just be running away and doing nothing

I actually enjoy the Zoh Shia fight... As an SnS user, I get a lot of mileage out of the slide since it tends to put me right at the edge of some of her bigger attacks and makes for a fun and dramatic battle...

I have the armor and fully upgraded SnS though so I don't know what to grab next... The Hunting Horn looks pretty good...

I think that was a thing in World and Rise too. It's just way more noticeable in this game for some reason. I've also noticed that animation cancelling certain moves is just generally more sluggish, but I'm not sure if that's intentional or just something up with the game.

I think for me, aside from the radial menu, the most frustrating thing has been focus attacks just being very delayed for me for some reason. Makes it often difficult to hit wounds.

Im crashing a lot more after the update. Prior to update my game only crashed maybe 3 or 4 times in 100 hours. Last night I was crashing left and right on changing areas.

I heard some people say that if your shaders didn't compile after the update, you need to manually delete them to force it to recompile or it will screw things up pretty bad.
I crashed my first time heading into the hub on PS5 which was the first time the game crashed like that

Haven't crashed yet. Crossing my fingers. I found Spread 3 against Tempered Gracious. Need Peirce 3 so bad to complete my Pierce HBG build. It's already bonkers with how much damage I do.

No crashes for me. A lot of disconnects which is annoying but since nothing is a struggle to solo its fine

Zoh Shia is really fun. And makes me so excited for a raid monster. Once I understood the flame mechanic its a lot of fun shooting the rocks to save people

the Arena kind of sucks. I was excited to try out different weapons since I am getting better with multiple weapons but I feel the times are ridiculous. Ive done Bow Doshaguma so many times and cannot get A Rank. Had one where I got hit once and had near perfect uptime on it and still got 6m0s No clue how I can shave 1 whole minute off that

I get its supposed to be a challenge but the challenge is the terrible gear. It shouldnt require perfection just to get an A rank. Im not trying to be in top 10k. It was my problem with Fatalis as well. Focus on speed running rather than better play

might just be conjecture but its also where I notice the most inputs being eaten

I like the difficulty they put on it. Feels much more right without the wounds constantly appearing and giving you a chance to lock it down. I know it's because of Zoh Shia's specific mechanic, but it was good to not have it on the ground half the fight. I don't know if it was intended but I hope they take some of that feedback to heart.

As for raid boss... I was struck with a suspicion that after Gogmazios was data mined, that might be its role this game. Which, frankly, I'd be a bit disappointed by, but that's more because I'm not a fan of the raid boss stuff in this series.

As for Arena, I feel like it also highlights favoritism among the weapon types a lot more. Trying out different weapon types in there really shoves it in your face with how wildly different the times are for each. I got a much faster time against Chatacabra with Longsword despite barely knowing the basics of it.
You and blaze over on the MH board got me very excited for Arena Doshaguma with Bow. It was quite the doozy, and I've been playing every weapon for four games now. In Sunbreak I got max rank on every MR Arena quest with every weapon solo, and this felt miserable getting the A rank. I'll post the video later.https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/e/eff334a8.jpg

I haven't been able to play since a few days before the update. Had to work a bunch of extra shifts at work and simply haven't had time to fit in time to enjoy it.

I was looking forward to playing again tonight, but my little cousin recently got hooked on palworld and wants us to play together this evening instead. So I guess my hunting will have to wait till tomorrow when he's at school and I've finally got a day off. Mizutsune, you're in my sights.

God damn! Congrats. I dont know that I can improve it any more. Ive seen a few people clear the A rank with Lance but you and one other are the only ones Ive seen get the Bow. And Ive been searching for videos to improve what Im doing

so mad kudos to you

Welp I tried getting a Night Pollen to trade in for a Gold Melding ticket. Took longer than I expected but it's fun on its own and it's a different form of grinding. I just want a pierce 3 so much lol

Is it just me or does navigating through all the settings feel like a maze? I learned you can set your missions to auto use SOS but I couldn't find it anywhere and Googling wouldn't give me the info, all they say is you can turn it on or off and not where to go to do it. Couldn't find it on no forums or Reddit.

I ended going to a Discord server and asked there and turns out to turn on auto SOS is through Alma as she has a unique setting for questing.

The menuing in the game is horrible but they've always been bad in previous ones too. Playing Generations was a fun step back through time.

Nah the UI in this one is especially ass. Like, I've been playing Rise on the side with friends and this game is a huge and obvious step back from that (even if Rise wasn't great).
MH menu hell is super real. My friend and I were playing around with stickers, gestures, and squad settings last night and it certainly was a time for both of us. I don't even know if there's a better way for them to set up some of the menus and options, but goodness it's a mess.

Also speaking of gestures, did you guys download the new free gesture pack? What the hell is "Lay it on me" for? Plus the one immediately after it?! You can combine them to great effect, but that can't be what Capcom intended, right?

is it not possible to cancel out of the radial menu? can't find an answer anywhere. pretty annoying that I feel like I have to choose something once it's open and I've moved the right analog stick.

my head's spinning from trying to learn the optimal combos for switch axe. what's FRS? also seems like I need to use the morph moves more, unlike in 4U where I just spam wild swing or (sword mode) slash -> double slash

There probably is, but do you not use the setting to click your stick to use something? If so you can just hover over whatever and not use anything by letting go of whatever button you used to open the radial menu.

Full Release Slash I think.

I'm just gonna gesture in the general direction of Max's semi recent Monster Hunter 1 video and say that people have been emulating certain acts with the emotes in this series since its inception and some lend extremely well to it.

Not with the default setting. There's a setting you can change to make it so that you have to click the stick to use an item. That version you can cancel out of by letting go without clicking.

my head's spinning from trying to learn the optimal combos for switch axe. what's FRS? also seems like I need to use the morph moves more, unlike in 4U where I just spam wild swing or (sword mode) slash -> double slash
FRS is Full Release Slash, which is holding the input for Unbridled Slash (R2 + O + Triangle in sword mode). There are certain combo break points that make getting axe/sword gauge up the most efficient based on when in combos you morph. Sword goes up fastest if you just spam double slash, but you'll chew through the gauge if you don't morph and the dps is a bit lower during combo.

Also, 2 Wild Swing => Triangle gives you powered up axe, as a heads up.
