I thought it was weird people were saying you get more for capturing lol
In the old games it was always something you had to decide based on what you actually wanted, and it looks like its the same here

Should I even bother melding talismans before unlocking the later melding options?
Yes go for it. The later options are different. Just don't sell your shitty ones, because the last meld option uses 20 of em for 3 randoms as opposed to using up monster parts.

Yeahhhh played with some friends who only played world and they ....for some reason thought when you capture you get everything and clearly it's like something a lot of people think because everyone online captures and idk where it came from. I swear world had diff rates just like the old games

World made capture the best option in all cases so is normal people don't know how it works now.
Is like the mount changes from MH4G to MHGen when people didn't attack the monster after you mounted it because they thought you were going to fall because of it.

What are some good High Rank light bowguns? I got the one you build from Rajang materials that supposedly is good with Thunder ammo and it was kind of shitty, but it was also my first time truly using one for a High Rank hunt so I dunno if it was just me. I'm looking for something fully automatic and machine gun-esque but all of the ammo types for that one were single shot.

Basically you're looking for rapid fire pierce. Izuchi early game, narga late game(pierce 2 ). Not near my switch atm but for elemental i'm sure there are some rapid element options. And i think spread has one too in the LBG tree.

How do I use Melding-Rebirth? Says I don't got enough talismans. What does that mean exactly?
For endgame the best option is the one right before it that gives random talismans because some skills don't roll on the other tiers. Basically, you'll have a bunch of throw away talismans if you keep grinding - that's what you give rebirth too. Never sell your trash ones.

Anyone with a good endgame Dual Blades build? Started using the weapon last night and it's a lot of fun but I'm not sure what skills to aim for. Went with a basic crit/affinity build for now.

Good, thanks. Is there any kind of icon that says which types of ammo are rapid-fire or some other indicator?

This game has no business looking as good as it does on Switch

Also it is a tonne of fun to play, probably my GOTY.

Limited in gaming time so I am going much slower than most here I think, I am up to 4 star village quests now. Getting a reasonably proficient with the Long Sword, love the dash hit switch skill, feels like such an anime move.

Really loving the game. Don't understand some parts of the gear system thoroughly but seem to be muddling through.

Any advice appreciated on the following:
  1. If I have a sword and then next upgrade has no details but '????' does that mean I have not yet got any of the parts I need to do the upgrade or is there some other requirement I am missing?
  2. Broadly...I don't have much idea what I am doing about armour. I am making sure my affinity is above zero where possible (as I hear that is basically crit chance?) and where possible I also try to have set bonuses running. I just struggle in understanding the progression, with weapons it is reasonably clear but with armour there is a different set for most monsters. Are early sets completely obsolete? That wouldn't make sense to me as it means that last set you unlocked would be the strongest? Are you expected to rely heavily on the armour spheres for upgrading?

1. More or less - or rather, you haven't yet hunted the appropriate monster/reached a certain point.

2. Nah, armors come in groups, sort of. You can look at the color of the icons or the defense number for a hint, but some early game armors are grouped together, mid game, and late game (village/low rank).

1. It means you don't have access to some parts you need. The upgrades generally get revealed when you've beaten the large monster you need to get parts from or gain access to the area where you can mine the ore/gather the bones you need.

2. Generally for armor the thing you're looking for is the skills they have, then making sure to upgrade the armor as you progress so that the defnse stays up to snuff. Since you build based on skills you won't really be creating full sets but mixing and matching to get what you want. All the armor pieces you have access to right now will become obseolete later as you will unlock better versions of them once you reach high rank.

Making steady progress on my Insect Glaive armor set. When can I make attack up decorations? I'm at HR 7, but can't see them yet. Do I need to complete HR7 before they unlock?

The UI is worse, I didn't think they could do it.

Also, my save is over 400mb.
400?! How long does loading take?

I hope we get some meaty content soon enough.
I'm actually quite curious about World's launch state: I played the game a year after the release so I have no idea about that (and there were a lot of stuff for sure even after the Nergigante). What was the situation like with the endgame when the game launched?

So weird that the geode delivery option in lava caverns is a lot more fun than the egg delivery ones in shrine ruins and Sandy plains, and they are the ones to get side quests. It's quite fun sliding all the way down.

I'm not into rampages, so the end game was better in launch World. It was basically running Elder Dragons for decos. Which was still more fun than rampages. I miss some good old Elder Dragons in Rise.

Endgame was pretty much deco farming (RNG based) with tempered monsters/elder dragons + event quests.

Monster Hunter World had more of an endgame, but it wasn't good.

The April update will probably be nice, but you gotta wait for G rank to get the good stuff.

QOL fixes I want, off the top of my head:

- "Remove from Wishlist" in the smithy
- Sort the wishlist automatically and/or manually (both equipment and materials)
- Button to recentre the gyro while aiming
- Change gyro in handheld to tilt instead of turn

For the latter two, I basically want the devs to play Splatoon 2 and learn from it.

You drop into the zones during expeditions or hunts where you could find Tempered Monster tracks. Those would eventually proc Tempered Monster investigations. Nearly all of the game's monsters were split into three tiers of Tempered Monsters that could reward higher rarity decorations upon a successful hunt and were tuned to be beefier than their non-tempered counterparts. Optimally you still ended up being pushed to pursue a narrow band of Tier 3 monsters (All of them Elder Dragons) for the best rewards.

I liked it enough at the time, since it took enough control out of my hands to drive me into hunts against harder monsters, but I still feel like the Tier 1 monsters were done a little dirty.

OK thank you, that's exactly what I wanted to know and what I did before Iceborne came out.
Let's hope in the updates then, I already know the expansion will make the game 10 times better like Iceborne did with World, but that won't arrive until 2022. I still think tho that new contents will come at a quicker pace than World anyway, since they have to make new monsters and such only for a console and they have a lot of material ready (like, let's say they want to add Glavenus, they already have the assets and stuff from Iceborne).

To the dozens who care, gyro on handheld still behaves like a steering wheel (it wasn't on the patch notes, but we dream).
I'll keep holding out hope 😔

Given how granular the gyro settings are with differences for handheld and TV, it feels like the sort of thing they *might* actually add?

I've gone through and completed all of the village quests! Probably will take a little bit of a break before I dive into the Hub, as I don't want to get burnt out.

I've been jumping around to a lot of different weapons, LBG mainly, but also really liking LS and CB. Really loving the game and looking forward to seeing the content they are going to add in the title updates.

the way the gyro aiming working in handheld is so strange. like, it's the default thing that happens because the joycon is facing toward the ceiling in handheld rather than at the screen, but most games correct for this easily.

i spose it's intentional so you don't move the screen away from your face but it just... sucks
