only up to rank 4 though, which they're already at
village quests are an easy way to crank out LR materials since the health pools are so low, but once you're at HR in the hub there's no reason to stick around
I would still do them all, you unlock some food and other stuff. One of the food unlocks is way at the end of village and kind of hidden.

So bloodblight is basically a retooled version of frenzy?
Edit:
Oh, you can heal even beyond the red bar. So it's like frenzy mixed with the health regen augmentation from MHW.
In that case, I'm expecting that a) Steve's armour set will give you bloodblight, and b) this will be the popular new meta with aggressive playstyles.

Yeah, I can't imagine that Malzeno's set won't have some kind of bonus based on having Bloodblight to shoot up your numbers when inflicted and then overcome. Seregios armor will still probably utilize Bladescale Hone to keep up that gimmick, since "roll to sharpen" is still a rather nice skill that pairs especially well with the more aggressive play of fifth gen.
So uh, there's a picture floating around of Sunbreak's loading screen taken from what looks to be a french version of the game. It was apparently posted on Twitter and then very quickly deleted. Could be fake (though it'd be very impressive if so), but if it isn't, the load screen has a neat tapestry similar to the base game that shows three unrevealed monsters:
Grain of salt and all that, though.
- A Rakna-Kadaki subspecies/variant
- Some monster apparently from Frontier
- Gore Magala
- Some monster apparently from Frontier
- Gore Magala
Grain of salt and all that, though.
Espinas was a fairly popular monster in Frontier, was added only half a year after its launch
Espinas is such an unexpected pull, but I fully support the archives getting raided like that.
I honestly thought I posted it in my initial post, lol. Sorry!
Espinas and Gore would be great aditions, but did we need another magma/fire subspecies? Especially when Rakna is already a fire monster. Maybe it's a variant.
Gore has always been the most obvious reveal for tomorrow. Thematically it's perfect for sunbreak on it's aesthetics alone. It also means the obvious shagaru update 2 months from now.
I wish they would use this expansion to experiment more with status. They are already to weak and often ignored on basically every melee weapon, and now that they are introducing potentially 3 new status effects on players, it would be cool for them to finally explore adding another status to weapons. Gives them more unique armor skill set and weapon ramp up opportunities too like all the elders got in rise.

Maybe bringing in the new status effects would be something. Fireblight/iceblight/thunderblight/waterblight on monsters are already in rise, but we don't have a way to apply it to them ourselves.
Other than that, the raw damage loss by adding on status is just way too big. Iceborne sorta did it right by adding poison to a couple weapons that were already great so it was just a bonus.

Yeah, some rathian weapons where at least viable. But poison overall is such a joke. A full duration of ticks being equivalent to less than a wirebug attack is pathetic. If they won't play with new statuses, they need to add secondary effects to the ones we do have so they have a purpose. Like sleep building up exhaust and tiring monsters out of rage mode, or poison lowering monster damage after the duration ends while building up the new one. Something like that feels small but would be a huge support buff when almost every hit is one shot territory in master rank apexes.

I recently bought this in preparation for Sunbreak. Is there a YouTube channel you all recommend that gives a good breakdown of each of the weapons? I remember liking quite a few in the demo but it's been a while.
Here's a playlist with tutorials for a bunch of weapons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jscDTUOHdw&list=PLHc2Wj95htvMXfUat_N6wzMswZleBTomK
Here's another one with some more videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gR8EW8R6n1E&list=PLuOOsBV4h849knnlFuPCXTuIKgJlpXflZ
I haven't watched them myself but Arekkz is pretty well known at least. They other playlist also looks like it has a bunch of effort put into it.
I can vouch for Rurikahn's videos being excellent. It's also worth reading at least a few of the top comments (particularly if he pinned one) because some players who are more dedicated to the weapon chime in with tips/additions/corrections. For instance, the pinned comment for the Longsword video says:
Haven't they been doing influencers -> public for the last few demos? But damn it'd be very nice if true!!!
I'm honestly amazed they're going as hard as they are with the updates. Even if it's mainly stuff like the endgame subspecies and variants (the rare subspecies update is clearly when we're getting Silver and Gold), they seem to be pretty directly addressing the problems folks had with the base game in terms of engagement without really hampering expectations for what will be there day one if we're getting more reveals in the run-up to launch. They may fall short of GU's total count, but it might be way closer than anyone ever imagined for a gen 5 game.
A preemptive show of condolences for those about to embark upon the Cloudy Moonshard grind once more.
With the return of Lucent, the return of the Forlorn Arena, and there being a bit of a focus on rare species with these updates, Molten has got to make a return as well, right?
It would also be a great time to finally introduce a rare species for Zinogre as it still doesn't have one yet.

It's also neat that they're advertising a subspecies for the first update, which should help dampen concerns that Sunbreak would be incomplete at launch like base Rise was (where the first update was Elder Dragons)
Wtf ever happened to the monster hunter stories 2 expansion, it was in all the leaks and just sort of disappeared?
It would could be one of the last monsters since zinogre is so popular
Does the Monster Hunter Rise Humble Bundle coupon stack with the Steam discount? I'm thinking of double dipping on Steam. LOL.
Edit:
Nevermind. Just reread the coupon description. It's only valid if you purchase Rise from the Humble Bundle store.

Another leak:
Shagaru is in the base game. Guessing Chaotic might be a dlc monster.
as someone who ISN'T a MonHun veteran (started with World, then played GU on switch, then Rise, that's it) I find it real hard to get excited about "variants".
In fact if I didn't know it was a long standing tradition in the games, I would be even harsher on theirr existence.

It really depends on the monster and the variant itself to me. Ruiner Nergy and Furious Rajang felt pretty pointless in Iceborne, but Raging Brachy and Molten Tigrex (in MH4U) are great.
