Roar. Cant move for 3 seconds. Oh the monster sometimes roars 3 times in a row.

Monster jumps beer you. Tremors. Lose control of your character for 3 seconds.

Monster attacks you, stun. Lose control of your character for 6 seconds.

Monster has a sleep attack. Literally walk your character around for 8 seconds until he falls asleep, and then youre asleep until either the monster attacks you (maybe kills you) or you wait forever to wake up.

Animations are so lengthy and the monsters just keep getting faster. Long combo weapons are damn frustrating. Or just sheathing your weapon can be a huge pain in the ass. Monster hits you with a poison attack. Die to then tick damage before you can even put your weapon away.

Theoretically you can build immunity to most of these problems but who wants to do that? Earplugs are about the only thing I feel building towards because roars are the most annoying and common thing monsters do. But everything else is just a fuck around.

and yet Ive probably put 500 hours into MHW

That's literally the entire point of the game.

Just roll through roars. Pukei Pukei is like the only monster that can reasonably cause poison (the Rath's poison attacks are obviously telegraphed. Until Nightshade Paolumu I'm not sure I ever fell asleep in MHW, but slotting in sleep immunity to fight that is super easy and then trivializes the fight.

Stun sucks but largely requires you to be taking multiple hits in a row.

There's a reason I made Evade Window 3 (at least) a default in my build once I got a taste for it.

I use a HBG spread build that blocks almost everything, the only time I get hit is if I get caught on reload.

Lotta good that does you when youre in the middle of a combo.

Also unless you build evade window your timing has to be absolutely perfection.

Yall Im just saying that all these different instances of control being taken away From
your character is annoying. Yeah you can build for them, but odds are youre not going to because youre trying to build for damage and you cant slot in all the things you want for a damage build let alone have shit left over for comfort.

Ive played my fair share of lance, its fun being a tank for once but it gets boring quick because lance just doesnt have interesting attacks imho

You forgot Viper Tobi Kodachi yet. I was poison by that thing a s***ton more then any other monster.

In regards to roars theres only handful of monsters that it becomes exceptionally annoying. The Dioblos duo, rather roar into fireball combo and Bazelgeuse come vividly to mind.

Earplugs though are a pain. The skill has no business being 5 large slots at all. Becuase of which it's such a large investment that it's hard create optimal sets around it when you really need it like against certain arch tempered monsters like Teo.

It really doesn't and was weird to get used to after using a CC support build for so long, but it's pretty satisfying face tanking monster attacks with nothing but a big ass gun.

Or gold Rathian. You get hit by a melee attack and there goes about 60-80% of your health and congrats youre poisoned. You have Olympic seconds to cure it before it kills you or she does.

MHW is Capcom's highest selling game ever. It's not for everyone but not trash by any stretch.

I usually don't have an issue rolling the roars despite not building for bigger evade windows. Then again I've put many hours into 4U, a little bit into generations, and quite a bit into MHW as well so I'm pretty experienced. I pretty much only run DPS skills and I can roll through roars with good frequency as long as I'm not on something HBG. Just something you get used to after so many hunts.

Hello hammer man. Why yes, I do see a fully exposed tail on this downed monster but I would much rather attack its head next to you. Oh sorry did I trip you, why don't you have flinch free?

Good old World deciding that tremors and wind pressure and stun and most roars should hold you still waaaayyyy longer than they used to for no reason.

Yeah Viper Tobi is one of the hardest monsters in the series to avoid being poisoned by with how much shit he throws out. Thank god he dies so much easier than Lucent Narga or Dreadqueen ever did

The fact theres even more shit that I missed like flinching and wind just further adds to my point of how much this game wants to fuck with you.

For some god forsaken reason the Brace Jewel is a 3 slot which makes it a bit hard to add to your set.

Iceborne's monsters are really fucking annoying, many of their moves are not telegraphed well, and hit really fast. Rajang's initial quest is literally the only one I've failed solo so far, and I'm at the endgame now.

I don't even think I want to fight Furious Rajang, the normal version is hard enough

The only time I have triple carted in Iceborne was doing a stupid event quest when I just wasn't feeling it. I was double carted on Rajang though.

But yeah Iceborne introducing the Tigrex skeleton and Rajang made for a lot of fast monsters getting introduced all at once.
