Monster Hunter World: Iceborne |OT| Looking for love in Alatreon places

Hrmm, yeah that is pretty safe. I think I just get a bit panic filled and waste good chances.
Also, on a side to this. I think Bows should have the same ability as Bowguns and have their coatings with higher capacities.
Agreed. Ran that quest a bunch of times and I really enjoyed it. Very fun build.
That scene was just baffling, especially after how quickly you dispose of Ruiner Nergigante in the previous battle. Like, I know it was supposed to be a story version and all that, but jeez, you don't bury a monster that hard just to push them for no good reason at all.
Well, Nerg's whole deal is regeneration and we don't know what's up with Shara.
Makes more sense than the Lunastra special assignment having you kill Teo and then find him chilling in the special arena.
I think that's part of the whole "how to make a hat out of them" portion of the established lore. It's honestly better not to think much about the lore of the series with how much it clashes with the way one progresses through the game.
I'm finally trying out hunting horn and I gotta say, I'm having a ton of fun with this. As someone with 750+ hunts with both hammer and insect glaive I kinda find hunting horn to kinda be a strange combination of those 2 playstyles. The buff upkeep of the insect glaive coupled with the head smashing of the hammer.
I just bought the base game on PC. I remember HDR being fucked on consoles. And I see there was an HDR fix on PC. Is that still needed, or did they eventually fix the HDR?
There's definitely more than one of each elder, they're just supposed to be exceedingly rare and powerful.
Course, it gets handwaved away for the sake of the game, but...
This is so funny and true! Some of the bits had me crying especially the redpit.
hahaha that killed me too! "Reddopitto!! SRINGER BURSTOOO!"
There isn't much layered armor available to craft until you get to Guiding Lands and even then I'm not sure if it's on PC yet, it took a title update or two before consoles got it.
I just finished the story and discovered the Guiding Lands but haven't done anything there. Guess it is time to wait.
That build is also pretty fun using longsword with the Iai slash.
Holy shit. This is amazing.
Also taught me some meta shit I didn't know about. Glider mantle here I come.
Edit: Oh my god. Claw attacking a sleeping monster into barrel bombs is genius. Why haven't any of the randoms I've played with online been doing this?

I'm getting a Missing File Privileges on my Steam downloads for the update and I've tried like all these fixes and still can't get it to work.
What LBG build is it talking about? Every Sticky one I've seen has been the Rajang LBG.
Man the clutch claw opening seems to help the monster about as often as it helps me sometimes lol.
beat Namielle. I'm loving the new monsters, including the variants. Some of these attacks of theirs are amazing to see, like bazelgeuse's new dive bomb is ridiculous, lol. Anyway, it seems I can't play the game without having evasion +5, I just gotta have it or I'll feel really vulnerable against some of these monsters.
So I finished the main story and the first few hunts in Iceborne. I still have my Defender Switch Axe but I'm not sure what to do. I want to craft a different Switch Axe but are there any new base weapons to start from in Iceborne? Or do I need to start from the original weapons and craft like that?
At launch that wasn't the case. Everyone was super hot on the garuga and rapid sticky 2 as a concept. That is until rajang came out and people did the math on 2vs3
I assume this video was made before the Rajang patch, and before the new meta of Safi aquashot.
It's just like going from low rank to high rank. You can (and should) upgrade your old weapons. You also get some "shortcuts" at the forge to directly craft a lot of entry level master rank weapons.
At the start, you'll only be able to directly forge master rank metal and bone rarity 9's. As you fight more monsters, you'll unlock rarity 9 versions of other weapon trees.
I don't know about switch axe, but for most weapons, you should mine some ore in Hoarfrost reach and craft the master rank metal weapon (and upgrade it as much as you can). The basic metal weapons are some of the best you can get until you have enough parts to max out other monster trees, since you can usually craft a higher rarity level in metal.
Man, the constant search for slinger ammo is too real. Playing Bow and Gunlance is the worst in this regard. Constantly need more slinger to keep Thousand Dragons and Wyrmstake blast prepped in addition to flinchshots. Makes me play pretty damn recklessly trying to clutch claw off slinger pods at times.
I thought the same, it sounds very much like a Yoko Shimomura composition.
and 3 for palico gear IIRC.
overall you'll need 19 tickets.

There are 11 palico equipment pieces (including 3 full-sets) that require one ticket each.
Palico gear (as mentioned) plus the FFXIV Insect Glaive and Kinsect.
The quest that gives unity tickets looks like the kind that returns about every month or two, though. Unlike the seasonal tickets that you have to wait a year for if you missed them when they were available.
Anyone have any recommendations for the next weapon I should learn after Hammer? I've put about 100 hours into Hammer and dabbled with the other weapons in the training area but can't really decide on one. I know I'm not into the ligher/faster weapons like S&S, Insect Glaive, and Dual blades. I really like the crunchy hits the Hammer gets in on the head, so I'd like something like that but with different moves and stuff.
I'd say Great Sword or Charge Blade. If you like applying buffs to teammates, maybe the Hunting Horn.
Hunting horn has a simple moveset but it has the same satisfying hits that cause stun damage. The whole song concept provides an interesting twist. It might be for you especially if you hunt in groups.
Other than that, GS is a slow heavy hitter that is very satisfying. It does sever damage rather than blunt like the hammer/HH.
Also I recommend switch axe to everyone because it's the most fun IMO. You should try it.
Finally started doing better against Barioth and Tigrex with charge blade. Practiced my guard pointing while staying on the monster and just took a little more time to let the monsters tier themselves out. May not be getting huge speed but only died once on tigrex and once in three times on Barioth.
Gunlance with Long shelling. Wyvern Stake Blast is life.
I'd steer clear of free element and use an elementless jewel to buff the raw damage. I didn't really even look at the element stats on the weapons but I'd assume there are better elemental weapons that don't require 3 levels of free element.
