> No Green Sharpness Dual Swords available until 5* low rank AGAIN!
Why is this allowed? Also, MH thread
>dual swords
It is here that you made your first mistake.
>>344793771
Aerial and Bushido Dual Blades are top tier son. You must be a Gunlance or Hunting Horn main. If so, go kill yourself out of depression since your weapon has always been ass.
This one feels better than the other ones. Movement just flows a lot better to me. Really enjoying it.
Not seeing much activity this afternoon. Are evenings better times? I wanna get a 4U room going.
>Aerial CB
Strange yet oddly satisfying. I only wish that the A attack in sword mode was more useful. But nice that it's best when you don't charge your shield.
Might give it a chance in the main game if I have the resources.
I bought a n3ds for this game.
Any of you shitters need help in lr?
I love this game.
Aerial makes everything a bit easy though, but it's fun to mix it up. Can't just play the same damn way every game.
Switch Axe and DB main as always.
I don't know what's supposed to be the OP weapon of this one, but I feel like both of these are more than viable. If anything's better, the game would be much too easy.
>>344793667
but thats wrong retard. I'm at 3 star and have some
>>344793667
Is there a good list that tells the changes made in each weapon, and how the styles change each weapon? That would be simpler to explore that testing them individually
>>344796104
Switch 'Axe' is better than ever because of the interaction between a quick charging Hunter Art which fully refills your sword meter and a Hunter Art which powers up sword mode at the cost of draining the meter over time.
Use both and you can be in heavily buffed sword mode forever.

Anybody able to help? I've not played MH since MH3U. What has changed? I'm not very good at the game, but I have some ''friends'' who may play with me. But I don't want to be a burden or suck cause don't High Rank shit one hit you no matter what your defence is?
I usually play Great Sword, but there are new weapons, right? Any good for a relative noob?

my dick :^)
>>344797024
>he doesn't main aerial hammer or gs
>>344799097
You'll be fine just playing what you like.
Not much has changed except what armor skills are good at endgame and those only matter for speedruns.
Anyone want to get in a HR1 room? I'm getting tired of the village quests
Best style for HH? Been using aerial so I can drop heavy smashes on the monster from above without knocking everyone around me back, but im unhappy with my kill times.
10 minutes on the bird in the demo is 5 minutes too slow
>>344802245
I'd say an approximate 4 way tie between Akantor, Ukanlos, Amatsu, and Nakarkos
the wait is fucking killing me
>>344802756
>HH
>im unhappy with my kill times
>>344802756
Guild is the fastest. You should really use a different weapon if you want faster kill times solo.

>>344802880
Look I get the role of the weapon but in prior games if you utilize it correctly you could still stay competitive. Im not saying I want to solo with HH, but I dont want to just be a song bitch either.
>>344793667
NA Cia where/when
>>344802958
>1:23
every time
>>344802985
stick with guild. all the other styles are objectively shit if you're going for faster kill times.
>>344802985
HH was actually somewhat ok solo in the previous games. MHX shafted it pretty hard and it doesn't get much out of the different styles.
Use Guild style in groups, Use Hammer when solo.
>>344799097
High rank is essentially normal mode. Low rank is easy mode/the tutorial, and G rank is hard mode in the games that it's in. Generations has no G rank, but the deviant monster quests as I understand it are supposed to be a sort of stand in for that. You should never be taken out in one hit by anything in high rank, that doesn't start until G rank, and even then, it isn't every attack, unless you're wearing gunner armor, I guess.
There's none of 3U's water or swimming anymore, it was replaced by verticality and monster mounting in 4U. Maps have height variations in them now and ledges you can climb up and jump off. Hitting a monster while jumping can lead you to mounting. When you mount you play a minigame and when you're successful you topple the monster for free hits. 4U also introduced two more weapons, but even as a new player you can just use whatever catches you eye.
Generations, the one coming out on friday, adds hunting styles which modify the moveset and capabilities of your weapons, and special skills. For example, there's the style that makes your weapon play like it always has, which gets two skills, there's a style that focused on skills and lets you equip three of them, a style based around jumping so you can mount monsters more easily, and a style based around dodging and counterattacking. Some styles remove attacks from your weapon in favour of the new playstyle. Some weapons are better with some styles than others.
There's a couple other smaller changes, too. You can play as a cat, and they've made gathering quests more tolerable over time. The way you craft armour or weapons, not sure which, or if it's both, in Generations, has been changed so that you don't need to grind for rare drops as much.
Why even bother choosing the right close distance weapon when bow has become so powerful?
Former IG/LS/SA main (depended on situation, Monster and game)
>>344803140
What did they do? I know all the styles are rather bad for them, I thinking of going adept, since no art is especially useful for them either
>>344803000
http://pastebin.com/DFm4RiXK
>>344803695
They didn't nerf it. It just got left behind with some of the mechanic changes going into MHX.
All of its styles are shit except Guild. Adept is the 2nd best but it still loses important moves.
Its Hunter Arts are completely useless so you end up taking 1-2 general arts instead.
AuL is still the only song worth playing after DB users get easy access to Dash Juice.
Everything gets stunned instantly so AuL doesn't help as much as it used to in keeping monsters pinned down. Will still help with kill times, but not as much as it used to.

Im gonna try and fap to this.
How's the Lance? Any standout styles?
>>344797024
Aerial is OP as shit in a group
>>344807348
Forgot to ask, what's the best style for Guard Lancing? Evaders are faggots and it looks goofy.
>>344807506
Anything is OP in a group if you're even a little bit coordinated
>>344807348
Striker style is one of the best in the game, but only if you spam the charging attack
Adept style is decent overall and basically gives you more options to counterattack with
>>344807571
There really isn't one, adepts counter is worse than the old one, shield-advance is a lot more finicky to do. The third poke outside striker is charming, but a lot worse
>>344807971
>shield-advance is a lot more finicky to do
What do you mean? Lance was already my favorite, and when I discovered you could shield-advance right out of a side/backstep, it became elder god tier for me. If they fucked with I'll be so fuckingmaining switch axe.
Is SnS good yet?
>>344808132
>he doesn't know
>>344808261
...I-is it happening?
>>344808123
Adept lancing, even you press block you go into a counter-stance for a really short time, if it is successful, you get a two got attack and can follow up with two more pokes. If nothing got you, you will do the motion and block normal for a short time. Meaning that every time you want to shield-advance you must press forward and block at the exact time, or do a counter. The old counter is so much better, got a larger window and won't lock you down for two sec if you miss press it.
How do I fucking repel Nakarkos?
I've never played MH before and I've had no trouble getting to HR3 but now I'm fucking stuck in this shitty ass quest
Fuck that double headed dragon dildo thing
>>344808450
somebodies got to tell him.
So I'm prepared, which style is best for Greatsword? It seemed like Adept might be good from what I played in the demo
>>344808803
It sounds to me like you just haven't gotten used to the adept counter yet
>>344808132
It was supposed to be the new hotness when the coatings were shown off, but I don't know if it still holds up to other stuff people have discovered.

Kill yourself. Hunting Horn is fucking great. This is coming from someone who uses like half the weapons. DB will always be my fav, but HH is far from ass.
>>344809241
I wouldn't know, I usually take SA or LS to it
The repel quest should be pretty easy though, even on my first time through it was over before I got a handle on what to do
I don't understand how this series is popular?
The game has zero story and shit tier graphics. Its main appeal is the combat, but the combat is a clunky mess. That's not to mention how grind heavy everything about it is.
Additionally each new release is essentially the same game. I played a MH on PSP, then years later I played a MH on Wii U and if you told me they were the exact same game I would have believed you.
Why do people keep buying such a horrible series?
>>344809006
Have you? Have anybody? And the counter is still only two hits. A full charge from the old one does more damage.
I really wanted to love adept, it sounded perfect as I love guard lancing, but no
>Buddy and I are in Vegas for evo
>have to wait for his ass to land so we can go buy it together
I just wanna monhun
Are any of the styles any good for Lances or should I just stick to Guild? I'm digging the new third poke.

Do you have matching outfits? Why do you have to buy it together?
Evo is going to be great though, so looking forward to it

So this is going to be my first Monster Hunter game I've been messing around with the demo and enjoying it. My favorite weapon that I've tried is the Hammer. Be straight with me how shit tier is the hammer?
>>344812983
it's been consistently amazing in every game except 4, in which it was decent at best
I've heard it's back to its glory days though
>>344812983
Hammer is fun tier. Just be sure to keep on hitting the head when you can.
>>344812983
Its great. You can't cut tails with it though, keep that in mind.

>>344817352
Give it a minute but if you want to leave that's cool too. I'll leave the room open since I have time to spare.
I'm a little worried about the lack of G rank, not for lack of content/challenge, but for mixed set potential. A good chunk of my endgame in previous games was using ASS to come up with a bunch of weird mixed sets and trying to get something that looked half decent. No g rank means this will be much more difficult to do, right?
Also, is blunt power just memeworthy or is it actually a viable option?

>>344793667
I tried the demo, and I don't really like it. Movement is really clunky and so is fighting. Is there any way to recover from knockback or from the ground? What about cancelling the super long attack animations? Every other game that exists has them, so this series should too

If I was a shitter who just used the CB because I loved finishing fights with a massive phial burst on a monster's face is there anything outside of a few move changes that really makes it that much worse for me?
>>344819670
I'm legitimately not baiting, I really want to like this game and want to know if I can recover. I noticed I stopped myself somehow when getting knocked back once, how do I do that again?
>>344802958
I wanted to mix it up with a new weapon this game, but it looks like I'll be using hammer again
>>344820385
yes anon.
with a bow what changes between the different hunter styles when it comes to movesets? i know for sns one of the styles makes you lose the back hop charge and gs loses the ground charge on a certain style, but what differences happen with bow?
>>344820391
Well besides the move gutting theres some huge damage nerfing.
The burst 2 now deals less than half what it did in 4U for example.
holy shit there are a lot of new shot types for guns. which ones are actually worth using?
and can prowlers do capture quests? i haven't seen any tranquilize support moves
>>344821406
Cats have infinite tranqs, just run up to a trapped monster and press A
>>344820738
I know for sure in Bushido style you lose the Arc shot and the backhop.
Also guild style now allows you to do 2 back hops and it will give put you into a level 3 charge
Guys
I'm really scared. I visited my grandpa the other day at the hospital. He apparently has MRSA and boils on his stomach.
Now I'm afraid I'm going to get MRSA! HELP!
>>344821406
prowlers need a trap skill, but they always have tranqs. just sheath your weapon and you'll have an option to throw them if you're next to a monster while they're trapped.
So Lady Grey and Birdman don't have anything in common except they are "teaching" the crew? It's just a random ass connection for extra stats. I thought I was going to get some interesting tie in between them or something.
>>344821461
>>344821587

the biggest thing i cannot stress enough and most ranged hunters always get wrong at first not being the right distance from the monster for critical distance.
yes you are ranged but you need to get fucking closer, no you cannot snipe the monster from the other end of the entire zone.
