Why doesn't any armor look like this since 4th generation started?

Capcom just keeps giving us the same armor set with a pointy closed helmet, thin legs with clawed feet, and giant pointy shoulders recolored to vaguely represent the monster you had to farm to make it.

Monster Hunter Thread. Enjoying the demo?

Aura now degrades by tiers, if you lose red it will go down to yellow instead of disappearing completely. I think it also got better motion values in Gen, though I'm not sure.

Also it's able to get red aura in like 30 seconds if you play Adept, and there's a hunter art that locks your gauge for like two minutes.

LS wasn't buffed, it was regressed back to a shitty, annoying baby mode weapon again.

They should have improved on the 4U aura instead of ditching it entirely. It had some good potential to really enhance the weapon's playstyle and options.

If they'd buffed yellow from 10% to 15% that alone would have done a world of good, but they could have tried maybe doing something neat by giving Red a Critical Time of something like 15 seconds at the end where landing a finisher would double its usual damage and charge you up, such that when you're knocked out of Red at the end, it'd knock you down to white instead of nothing at all.

I hope they go back to the 4U iteration in MH5 but copy/paste some of the Gen styles/arts into the LS's standard moveset. With a little ingenuity, just about everything they did to LS in Gen could probably transfer over just fine.

Hold R to consume Spirit on certain Spirit Combo moves. 25% to buff Finisher into Nothin' Personnel (minus ghost cuts), 25-75% to perform Full Moon Spirit 1 with up to three stages, indicated by flashes:

First Flash: Buffed Spirit 1 attack that skips to Spirit 3 after OR press A to do a Lesser Counter.

Second Flash: More Buffed Spirit 1 that skips to Spirit Finisher after OR press A to do a Greater Counter with a little more damage and able to combo into a Adept Spirit Finisher (the vertical one) if an attack is countered properly and you got spare Spirit left over.

Third Flash: Even More Buffed Spirit 1, can be held for as long as your stamina lasts (starts draining really fast once you hit the third flash), will combo directly into Nothin' Personnel OR can perform the Greater Counter from Second Flash. Holding R on Third Flash's Nothin' Personnel will add the ghost cuts in exchange for a wind-up time but no additional Spirit cost, great if you staggered or tripped a monster with the charged Spirit 1 slash.
>>
>>343803747
It's not complete bullshit, it just needs some tweaking. I can deal with it just fine.

They need to do something about different shell types though. Make Longs have almost no heat loss from using Wyvernfire (so they can do it right away), Normals already have a really good heat build up rate thanks to full bursts, and Wides should lose less heat from WF heat-locking than Normals but more than Longs, yet get less heat gain from normal shells and more from charged shells than other shell types.

Or... something like that.

>>
>>343807785
Why is 4U in that sentence?
>>
>>343807785
I've been defending it since its conception, because I care more about how it affects the weapon's playstyle in general than how easy it is or how good its speedkill times are.

I'm not going to let people just circlejerk about shitting on it, parroting what other people have told them without actually sitting down to give it any decent individual thought.

It was a good idea. It wasn't implemented as well as it could be, but ultimately how it affected how the weapon played was a step in the right direction.

>3U Aura
You need to do spirit combos literally all the fucking time forever, at least once a minute, for a damage boost that puts your damage-per-attack at lower than it was in fucking Freedom Unite.

>4U Aura
You have to do three spirit combos to get your damage back up, but you get occasional periods of two minutes free where you don't NEED to do full combos ALL THE TIME and on top of that have higher damage-per-attack than Freedom Unite ever had, plus it's easier than ever to actually get your aura up thanks to fade slash no longer killing spirit combos.

In terms of how the Longsword played, yeah, 4U was the best. Period. Its aura change suffered in kill times a little bit, but just barely.

Meanwhile Gen literally lets you regress all the way back to the rampant cancer that was Tri's LS thanks to an art, only without losing your aura entirely if you time out so it's even worse.
>>
>>343807775
I dunno about new songs, but double notes let you play the current song and the last song you played at the same time. It's great for upkeep and actually staying in the fight, but the horn arts arent anything special

>>
>>343808826
The horn arts just aren't broken, is all.

Harmonize lets you play an enhanced song just fine even if the monster moves away or knocks you over before your attack lands.

Soul Orchestra is alright for solo, letting you play all your songs for you alone so you don't have to waste time setting up different attacks and using recital to play them.

The sonic smash isn't particularly noteworthy though, but it's important to note that the sonic blast actually is an attack with a decently-sized hitbox, not just a sonic bomb on an art like some people seem to be confused about.
>>
>>343807775
It's better than 4U horn but still needs to put in more effort than any other weapon to do damage
Horn Maestro is no longer needed

>>
>>343809182
I've been told that it's apparently because later Zinogre Variant quests have two of them and they literally can't bring enough ammo to do it all the way through.

It's a consistent failure of ranged weapons, they just can't into multi-monster quests all that well.

So do you guys hope they keep styles/arts permanently?

I mean this aside from what you think they'll actually do, I'm asking if you would LIKE it to stay.

I kinda do. I think it would be great with some more tweaking.
>>
>>343810880
Adept needs balancing and almost all arts need balancing, but yes, it spices up the gameplay for me and I like experimenting with the different styles.

I think it benefits the game more than it hurts it.
>>
>>343810880
I'd rather not keep styles, but I wouldn't mind if they stay in the form of armor skills or something. Losing out on parts of the weapon's moveset just makes me feel handicapped
Arts can stay if they get some tweaks

>>343810880
I'm gonna be honest about my thoughts with you.

They can barely balance 14 weapons as is, how the fuck are they going to balance 14 weapons plus three additional styles for each?

I want them to keep styles. Arts, as far as I'm concerned, can get merged into the basic / style movesets with a little tweaking to values instead of being super moves you need to charge. But I have serious doubts that they're going to do the right things that need doing in order to properly return the game to the classic MonHun hunting experience.

I also think that they will be unable to correctly balance everything if they keep styles/arts in the next game.

That being said, for being a non-competitive game, I would actually be more ok with the game being slightly unbalanced with them than without.

You can do every quest in the game solo with any weapon and style combo, and honestly that's good enough for me. The game will never be completely balanced in terms of speed runs with every weapon either way.

Taking them away would feel like a step back to me.

>>343821363

>>
>>343820905
quick draw is better, i hate skating around the monster when evading
>>
>>343821616
Here's one, since you asked for one.

Sidestepping with evade extender will move you too far away from wherever you want to hit more often than not, often resulting in the monster turning or moving before you can get back to wherever the GOOD damage is. Also it's a poor excuse to stay in sword mode 24/7 when axe mode has enough reach and mobility to make up for the lack of damage until you switch back to sword.

I mean, with some monsters evade extender might be super helpful, but it's hardly a core skill like some people make it out to be. Certainly not anywhere near the level of Focus/Crit Draw on the Greatsword.

I guess it's valid in Gen though, since the game is built around using sword only 24/7 unlike 4U.

Styles, yes. Arts, maybe not.
I like how styles let you play weapons differently than the way you've always done it, but the the arts, I'm just not a huge fan. They've got some fun and flashy ones that are pretty enjoyable, but the way they range from nearly unusable dogshit to absolute gamebreaking cheese isn't that great, and I feel like moves that charge over time dont really fit with the flow of the game. They'd need to seriously rework them moving forward to win me over.

The only thing that intrigued me about GS styles is Aerial anyways but I don't want to give up ground charges. Striker is way too simple for me, it's just the moveset it had before Tri, and I don't want to give up my supercharge and supercharge followup.
>>
>>343810880
I think styles should be more than just losing part of your moveset for a different dodge, like if the styles themselves were the hunter arts and included them as part of their movesets.

Weapon-specific styles replacing certain attacks or techniques with a move reminiscent of current hunting arts. Universal ones like Absolute Evasion can just remove attacks for a different dodge, though.

>Waaah I just want to mash!!!!!!!

>>
>>343810880
Arts can stay as long as they round them out to all be useful and they don't betray what the weapons about(looking at you SA)

Styles are too hard to balance correctly and it leads to shit where people only use 1-2 at most for any given weapon.

Long story short, styles disrupt how the game actually plays, and arts if implemented well could be satisfying buttons to hit that add a bit of depth to everything.

If they keep both I'll be fine with it, they just need to put in some work to keep them. Series needs to evolve somehow, these aren't bad options.
>>
>>343829129
I think his issue is, that compared to a lot of other weapons, there is a lot of overly complicated mechanics tacked on for 'balance' which you have to constantly be aware of with longsword that only get you on par with more braindead weapons.

>>343829549
Its not even that complicated, you have to work around the monster 3 times or so to get red spirit then focus on sneaking in a spirit 4 every minute or so.

None of it is overly complex or tacked on, its simply what the weapon is. 4U's system was the most arbitrary bullshit around. You worried about it until you hit red then ignored it completely for 2 minutes then started all over.

Now if you are good at it you can maintain a good buff at all times because it rewards forsight, and execution.

4U's system was just get to red then mash on them for 2 minutes, then do everything in your power to get to red again. Previous systems gave a lot more flexibility in how you played and rewarded you for taking those chances when they presented themself.

But that's literally the opposite of what I've argued though, what?

The current iteration in Gen is literally mash central, and that is absolutely not what I want. If all I wanted to do was mash, then I'd be all for it since I can basically just Spirit Combo into infinity in Gen.

But way to boil down my argument to elements that weren't even present in it. Anything to not have to dedicate even an ounce of brain power to actually considering it as an argument with merit, huh?

Also, way to add in that kys meme. Way to stand out.

Would you like to try again?

>>343829549
Not really? That's not my reasoning behind it. I don't want to dumb down the weapon by any means. I want to add more to it. I view 3U's aura as being braindead (because it dictates what you need to do so strongly, instead of the MONSTER dictating what you need to do) and tedious (because you need to upkeep it so often).

In comparison, 4U's aura has a period of time where you actually can tailor what you do to the monster more strongly, instead of having to learn to balance two entirely different upkeeps (spirit AND aura) at all times AND figure out how to apply the demands of those two separate upkeeps to the demands of the monster.

I view 4U's aura as being more lenient to less skilled Longsword users while also being more freeing/less restraining to MORE skilled Longsword users, and furthermore the shifting back and forth between the aura upkeep period and the red aura damage period would make the weapon's flow feel a little less... stale. The shifting back and forth kept it interesting for me, instead of being locked in upkeep mode forever with a small handful of seconds here and there of freedom.

I think adding a "critical time" mechanic to 4U's aura where you can perform a finisher in the last 15 seconds of red to charge up so you'd drop down to white instead of nothing would improve it further. Maybe yellow, if the literal last second.

>>343829892
I don't believe that to be the case. I think skilled longsword users learned to work around the limitations of needing to upkeep so often, but I don't think it was a good playstyle in terms of how it dictated how the weapon was used.

>then mash on them for 2 minutes
I don't think you really know anything about the longsword if you seriously think that's how it was done. In any high-skill 4U LS vid, they would use attacks of opportunity as the monster went by or predictive hits to get a stagger, or pokes to get in little hits here and there. You don't simply become free to spirit combo forever or something. The weapon simply doesn't work that way, and hasn't since Tri, until Generations came around.

>>343831006
Except it's not, by any means. You use attacks of opportunity, especially thanks to the fade slash to spirit chain combo, to get your spirit up. Faster than in 3U, at that. You literally can't fucking mash as a mechanic of the weapon, since the spirit meter prohibits mashing except in cases where it is infinite (Gen).

In 3U, before the fade/spirit chain existed, you would be trying to get spirit combos off ALL THE FUCKING TIME. It was especially obnoxious on more agile monsters, like Brachydios, that loved to drag out your time with fucking nothing to show for it. Having a one minute period of time is too short to really free yourself up for the monster, especially then the reality is that you get more of a 30-second period of time, 45 if you're good at the weapon, before you have to start maintaining Red aura again, unless you're going for full combos before that which is extremely dependent on the situation. It's too short to do anything really good with, and if you do pretty much anything, like sharpening or healing or buffing up or following the monster to another area, you're going to lose that Red and drop down a level and have to upkeep it a fucking gain.

The two minutes of 4U is a lot less restraining that way. A lot more freeing. It isn't just a fucking excuse to mash mash mash, as you've implied.

Yup.

Swordenboard, Hammer and Cat are starting gear.
Lance and Switch Axe are Astalos (formerly Raizex)

Gunlance and Greatsword are Glavenus (formerly Dinovaldo)
Insect Glaive and Charge Blade are Gammoth (formerly Gamuto)
Bow and Longsword are Mizutsune (formerly Tamamitsune)
I'm PRETTY SURE Dual Blades and Light Bowgun are Great Maccao (formerly Dos Maccau).

>>343797937

Is this your first monster hunter? There hasn't been any new armor that looks like that since 1st gen.
>>
>>343833606
Not sure about how effective the weapons are but Malfestio is mid-low rnak while Tama is one of the final fights in low rank. Their armours, however, are debatable whether they're good or not.
>Malfestio gives Tenderizer and Negate Sleep
>Tama gives Halves Hunger, Thunder Res -10 and a new ability called Bubbles which applies a unique bubble status onto you after evading which improves your dodges.
>High rank Malfestio gives Perception and High Rank Tama removes TR-10 and gives another new skill called Predicament which increases your attack if you're effected by a status aliment.

>>343835134
Admittedly 4U wasn't the best it could be, it's just that I view it as a step in the right direction. Tweak white to 10% and yellow to 15%, then add the critical time mechanic and it'd be a lot less punishing, that way the damage falloff can be mitigated with skill/premeditation/timing, and having to go back up through lesser auras doesn't feel as painful because they're more potent.

Also if they tweaked the aura graphic so that it sort of decreases in a loop around the spirit gauge rather than decreasing as a line behind it, so you could get a much more accurate read on how much time you have left, that'd be cool too.

Do Frenzy, Bubbles, or HH statuses count?
If so I will never lose this boner.
>>
>>343810880
I don't care much about styles per se but I really hope they keep the adept dodge for Hammer. In 4U hammer just wasn't viable between its short reach, its semi long attack frames, and the fact that areas were divided up into even smaller areas and hammer didn't have any sort of defense. A Tigrex could get you into a corner and keep you there because it took to long to climb up or even jump down from the ledge and to go the other way would be going right into the Tigrex's hitboxes.
>>
>>343836120
Phoenix Recovery (a universal art) seems to count buffs when calculating what it should remove and how much healing it should give you, so maybe?
>>
>>343836120
Couldn't find any info if frenzy or HH buffs activate it but people say that Bubbles work with the skill.
>>
>>343835565

> Tweak white to 10% and yellow to 15%

Literally giving people cause to stay in yellow as long as possible, like they did in Tri, which is clearly against the point of the mechanic
>>
>>343836120
Bubbles does count as status. There's a Variant Hermitaur armor that gives Bubbles and Predicament.
>>
>>343836575
Red is still a 30% bonus, you butt, so skilled players would seek it and with the critical time mechanic there'd be less reason to not seek red. And is there really something wrong with someone deciding to prolong their bonus rather than having to deal with upkeep? I mean it's clearly not optimum but it's a way to learn the weapon and the monster.

Also, what people did in Tri was spam spirit combos forever because you had infinite spirit AND you'd refresh red for as long as you could pull it off.

You literally had rooms of ananta boneblades and wyvern blade flame constantly paralyzing Gigginox into infinity with never ending spirit combos from four players because they literally could not and would not stop spirit comboing.

Styles are interesting, though I think they should be further expanded/tweaked, like having completely different weapon animations instead of missing one or the other.

Aerial weapons that just take a signature attack and move it into aerial are eh, especially when they finish on the ground anyways like Switchaxe and Longsword. Aerial switchaxe should move to a super fast discharge that detonates in midair instead of just doing the discharge animation which continues and finishes after you land back on the ground.

Aerial swaps the superpound for a buffed upswing and has THREE options for aerial attacks.

Striker not only has natural focus but the third slam apparently ain't too shabby and the superpound has been buffed.

And for Adept, that whole strong charge is just rad as hell, and is one of the few adept maneuvers that can be held and moved around until the right time.

Meanwhile the Hunting Horn has some of the worst styles in the entire game.

It was kind of amusing but as a lance user can't say I was too keen on it. Regular lancing is fun as hell. I need to see if I can git gud with adept lance.

As a Lance main the lack of a backstep was totally fucking me up to the point where I wouldn't be able to do any serious hunts like that. But I really really loved the jumping charge finisher from 4U and only Aerial has that in Gen.

I also can't deal with the change to the third poke in everything but Striker. I'm used to being the most mobile brick in the world, always able to dodge at a second's notice.

None of the styles have all the tools as I'm used to in 4U and that kinda stings.

Apparently the new ending triple poke is godly for damage and elemnt. I'll try my best to adjust to it but it's gonna be rough not being able to evade shit once I commit to a last poke.

There is literally nothing wrong with attaching a thread-relevant image to a text reply directly contributing to the thread conversation. This is an image board.
