Probably wouldn't have reached those heights if it had underwater combat. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Underwater combat was an intense and exciting experience. Scary and thrilling. Only thing they needed to fix was drop the really tight claustrophobic areas.

They could just throw it in there at high rank for loonies like me who loved it.

Finished the game yesterday. I did the 2 last elders with my friends, and contrary to many people, I enjoyed the Xeno Jiva fight, it was the first time we had that "HUGE" epic monster impression without the fight being complete bullshit like Zorah.

Will start the road to 49 now, is 418 Def high enough to avoid being one shotted by the tempered monsters ?

Exhaust makes mp games so much easier. Nothing like seeing a Black Diablos or a Tempered Anjanath standing still doing nothing while everyone burst them.

Angola / Zaire border region.
I was building up the HR Anjanath hunt in my mind as a big test of strength, so I took some time to farm some HR Tobi and Tzitzi gear... just did the fight though and I was definitely overestimating the difficulty of the hunt. He hit me pretty hard, and I had to panic eat both my max potions, but my HR Tobi Kadachi LS, along with level 3 shock attack buff, just tore through the Anjanath's health. The poor bastard was tailless and limping away within like 5-6 mins. Side note, I carved the tail and got a Anjanath Scale+? Is the Tail only an LR reward?

Unlocked Pink Rathian assignment.

Plan for tonight:

Do two more Zorah quests I just unlocked to farm a bit
Farm Rathlos a couple of times
Farm HR Anjanath a couple of times
Do Pink Rathian
Clear some optionals
Go forge happy and organise my gear again and set new goals

use the left stick (L3) for running ...
That's worse to me, I remember having to throw out one of my PS3 controler because playing too much Killzone 2 ruined the left stick thanks to the constant use of L3 to run.

I could have sworn there was an option to switch R/L somewhere in the control options. Or was it R1/R2 and L1/L2? No time to check it out right now though.

Yeah, it's R1/R2 and L1/L2. I guess I can force myself to run with R1 since it's easier than remembering that R1 and L1 are switched when navigating the menu's but it still sucks that there is no option in game...

Trying to decide whether to subject myself to 5 * LR Kirin hunts to finish out the weekly limited bounties.

Also, I read somewhere that Diablos is a good end-game Charge Blade, is that true? Is there something better I should be aiming for?

Consensus is that Diablos and Nergi CBs are the best. Diablos CB has the highest raw damage of all CBs but -30% affinity, though affinity does not influence SAEDs damage

Trying to decide whether to subject myself to 5 * LR Kirin hunts to finish out the weekly limited bounties.

I beat LR Kirin using bow and it wasn't much of a trouble, try to always focus on the horn and put to use the dashing

Lagiacrus, Agnaktor and such were actually classified as Leviathans.

Piscine Wyverns can go away, but yeah, bring back Leviathans pls. We need more water and ice monsters, and Glacial Agnaktor and Mizutsune would be a good start.
Shit dunno how I forgot mizutsune but they need to bring her(?) back

A little over two weeks and 95 hours in and I'm still totally hooked to this game. I haven't even messed with the SOS system. Just playing solo or with friends. Did my first arena quest yesterday (from the gathering hub). Surprisingly fun! Hoping to clear out my list of optional quests this week (I still have a bunch of quests for the canteen) and get to HR 50.

true. I am used to run with R1 ... I guess it is like that since the beginning.

I am trying the Gunlance again. Can someone tell me what my role is?


Do I hang back and wait for the moment to lay on damage or am I a front line fighter?



I'm confused.

need to do something that hits hard (without being a ultimate) to see if the difference between guard 5 and guard 3 (which I have now) is too noticiable, so far it hasnt been but I only fought tempered bageljuices which mostly hit me with bombs that i didnt block anyway, and kirin which I blocked the lightning fine with guard 3.

tempered black diablos investigation? :o

Kirin is such a bitch. And the game decided to glitch out and not to give me the stats bonus from the canteen.

Got my armor and the two weapons I wanted made... Bored now.
Really showing the lack of monster variety in the end game.

quick question, can you capture tempered monsters like normal ones, or do they follow the Elder Dragon rule?

(obviously you cant capture tempered elders)

Your first roadblock is actually hr29 before you get to 49.

418 is suffice to survive most atk but a few will still one shot you.

You'll get shards from tempered quests to augment your armor where you can upgrade them to level 11.

So it's a gradual upgrade process.

I'm in a good place right now. Hit HR 29, fighting twin bazel tonight to raise my HR again.

Full Nerg Beta with Sin DB gives me 50% affinity at full stamina. Wreck shop in demon mode then enjoy tons of crits in archdemon mode.

Also just need to do a few Nerg runs to get my Decimation Claws.

MHW is in my blood.

I thought you were gonna sell the game way back?
Someone told me a way to make the fight much less time consuming. Dropping rocks on its head apparently. But yeah, I think I've had my fill now. Tempered monsters don't really interest me if it's just a damage boost. Game was kind of average, I'd rank it below Tri and 4u.

30 monsters, 8 of which I've fought in several games and 3 which are just recolors. Bird and fanged monsters are total pushovers. Boring ass looking weapons. Lacking several categories of monsters. Weapons from previous games with nothing new. Would you like me to go on?
Tobi and Legiana are pretty great though.
Oh but wait, it looks pretty, so best MH ever, right?!

you are well within your right to like or dislike it, but as you say yourself, yourr done with it, so why are you sorta-kinda shitting up the thread now? Youre done with it, move on, no reason to come stir up the pot one thinks?

Im not saying the criticisms arent valid but if we are gonna cherry pick what makes it not the best I can tear 4U and Tri to shreds as well

Are we not allowed to discuss what we think about the endgame?

His points are very fair but I certainly wouldn't rank it below Tri. I think it would be in my third spot of fav MH entries as well though after 4U and 3U.
