All of the partner quests are solo-only, so I'd assume that there's village quests to help tell the story here.Guys do you know if there's gonna be a split again between solo and MP quests? Or is it all MP this time in Sunbreak?

Does G Rank gear generally have more decoration slots? There are so many QoL/Utility ones I'd love to use but I never have room for them.
Actually, the answer is yes. Even in 4U and GU, on average the G-rank sets usually had about ~2 more deco slots compared to high rank
Disagree. That's a small effect of there essentially being no formal endgame. Rise online felt dead, mainly because of it's quest by quest matchmaking. It sucks compared to being able to search by monster and the variety of quests, whether they be event/multi/HR alone like it was in world. Instead, we are left to stare at a spinning circle while we hope someone at this exact moment in time is also doing this obscure event quest no one has any reason to do after the first time.
Before world, not really. Slots are entirely determined by the "weight"/cost of the skills it has natively, which makes certain outliers so valuable. It wasn't until the introduction of Beta sets in world that more slots became a thing. Which I don't blame them for avoiding, as the power creep was exasperated by it, especially when weapons started coming with skills it took 4 pieces of a particular set to achieve.

GU's G-rank tends to trend higher than 2 more because it's so damn stingy with high rank deco slots, so it has more room to grow in that regard, while opposite is true for 4U, many times just 1 more slot total because high rank armor is already so generous with customization.
Yes there is a jump.Disagree. Scrolling through kiranico to refresh my memory, grank GU armor looks extremely stingy with armor slots across the board, especially with what Gen 5 did. Obviously, the old point threshold system screws the perception a bit, but I'm not seeing this jump you describe. Typically, the jump was just an additional skill on armor every rank, so 3 on G, slots remained extremely variable depending on the power of the skill on the armor with the slightly lower point pieces getting them over the higher.
It's very unlikely the upcoming master rank armor will see any noticable jump in slot availability with how generous the current system already is on top of whatever the new armor and weapon set skills will likely add
You can use cheat engine and the inventory editor to speed up your progress to match your switch file. You'd still have to speed run the story, but could turn on 1-hit kills to finish quests quickly and edit in everything you need to remake your equipment. Kind of a pain, but you could do all of that in a night and be ready for Sunbreak.Ugh I'm so so so tempted to buy this game on Steam.
Put close to 80 hours in on Switch, but I know it'll look and run better on PC, and Sunbreak is around the corner...
Just SUCKS you can't transfer that save, and I'd have to restart from zero. I mean I guess I could mainline things and there'll likely be a bunch of newcomers and stuff since it's 50% on Steam at the moment...

...I should look up how to do cheat engine stuff.

I was really thinking about starting over myself for the same reason. I'm sticking to the Switch version in the end.Ugh I'm so so so tempted to buy this game on Steam.

I mean... this is what every mh -> g rank game progression is like. world and ice borne was the same rhetoric wise. mh4u and GU didn't have it because we only got the g rank version in the west. both of those are miles ahead of what mh3 was on release anywayJust read the info dump on sunbreak, the narrative will now shift that it's too hard going by the tweets.
I couldn't imagine doing the lottery one. In all my hours of play I still only have like three of them.Either way, I got all the guild awards except for the 1000 monster kills award, the one we're you collect 1000 golden bugs, the one for collecting 500 hunting helpers and the gold crown awards. Funny enough, the hardest award to get is winning all those lottery trinkets. Took me 260+ hours of normal gameplay to get them all.

Oh shit, that is huge [for me]. Now I really can't wait to try it out with DLDSR to see just how nice the game can look.
I just managed to solo the Apex Rathalos Emergency, super happy with that! 31 minutes with zero carts. That just leaves me with Advanced: Born of Paradise, Apex Diablos Emergency, Advanced: Crimson Calamity and Apex Zinogre Emergency to do and I'll have every quest and event complete. The Zinogre is my biggest worry as he has destroyed me multiple times already.
I caught up and solo'd everything as well. Honestly, Valstrex was the one who gave me the most trouble for the Adavnced quests. Obviously, everyone's mileage may vary. Good luck to you!
It's always humbling when you go onto Youtube and see someone solo it in under 6 minutes lol. I need to up my game apparently.
I'll have to come back to those later. I'll just register my HR set, but I don't want to burn out on the game before Sunbreak dropped. I tried advanced Val, and it felt like it would be a fun fight to learn even if I did very little except get beaten around.I caught up and solo'd everything as well.

Keep in mind that those runs are extremely cherry picked out of hundreds, they fish for perfect spawns, use every item at their disposal, restart if they get unlucky with RNG and so on, it's not like they boot up the game and start doing 3-4 minute runs.
I consider doing sub 10 minute 7* hunts pretty good for myself lol.
There's a bit of both. You will be able to craft some weapons but it'll help to have the high rank versions already.I've gradually been catching up in the PC version but not quite where I was on Switch - and only on one weapon.
Once the new Sunbreak content is in, I'm curious - does that content create a new "start" point in the weapon trees if I want to play with a different weapon, or will I have to craft up a whole load of stuff?
nice I guess but I just want to be able to get rid of the weird sharp edge to the shadow/ssao or whatever it is
So I started playing last weekend with a friend. We are currently HR4 and doing fine so far. Got a lot of hours poured into World and Iceborne, it´s interesting to experience the new mechanics.
We are currently primarily doing the Hub Quests due to the village quests being single player. What would be the best way to play them and also move the story along? I also guess that certain items etc. are bound to them? I saw some streamers doing part village and part hub quests.
Also, what event quests should we be looking for?
Thank you for your replay. Sorry for my late response, got a lot on my plate right now.Some dango quests are tied to village only (the Dango Slugger one in particular). Not sure if there's anything tied specifically to Low Rank hub, though you're already in HR so I guess that doesn't matter at this point.
Event quests for special rewards you can check here. Only other thing of note is they are the easiest way to fight the Apex monsters without unlocking them through rampages; just avoid the ones with 'Emergency' in the name unless you're in MR gear or you want a challenge.
Yes, it does.If we start sunbreak, does our Hunter Rank still rise for the base game? So that maybe we can come back to those bosses?
Yes, your HR will keep increasing.If we start sunbreak, does our Hunter Rank still rise for the base game? So that maybe we can come back to those bosses? We wanna at least push to HR20, farm some gear and weapons we like but HR30 and HR40 seems to be kuschala and teostra and then 50 is rematch against those two screaming wind serpents?
Nice
Yeah I was a bit dissapointed with the set ... I made one for my palamute and palico with scraps but that´s about it.Yes, your HR will keep increasing.
And yes, HR50 is technically a rematch, but actually the proper fight with material that makes the sky serpent armors actually not garbage. Still not GREAT, but afterwards, the armors, if upgraded far enough, will give 3 points of the random singular skills they have while wearing 5 sky serpent pieces, rather than just 1 point.
Dunno if there's that much reason to really stretch vanilla Rise longevity with Sunbreak installed. The elder dragons will unlock some strong decoration options and Rarity 7 weapon upgrades, and the armor pieces are strong enough to let you go through MR1-2 without really needing to grind up a new set, but that's it. You could just leap into Sunbreak with your gear in a state where every new Master Rank hunt is potentially start of farming up a brand new set.So, push on to HR20 and then of to sunbreak? I figure it takes a lot of hunts from 20 to 50.
Ah and we will do the two elder quests he gave us, think they unlock new petalace.
We haven´t bought sunbreak yet. We wanted to cross that bridge once we reached the end of the story / we didn´t spoil ourself about anything including the title upgrades. I just looked em up today.Dunno if there's that much reason to really stretch vanilla Rise longevity with Sunbreak installed.

That said, the grind to HR50 doesn't take horribly long either if you do endgame Rampages as a group. Each gives a handful of rank-ups.
Aah, fair. Well, basically any point after HR8 is a good point to jump on, you will see Rise title update monsters in Sunbreak anyway, but doing a bit of extra farming in base Rise will help out in Sunbreak too, since the talismans you can get in Rise can be relevant even in Sunbreak endgame.We haven´t bought sunbreak yet.
