Those areas are in the game.

not that anon but I don't see forest and hills on ping's dex
>>345233783
It's better than it was in 4, but less versatile than it was in 4U.
You can no longer do super or ultra bursts from a shield thrust in sword mode, and will always cancel into a Yellow Shield Charge, which is less potent than Red, but the action can be used to extend an already existing Red.
Guard Points are more prominent, but are no longer a jump pad for various other actions - either they'll guard and knock you back, or if the impact was lesser than what they were capable of guarding, they'll continue the action that triggered them as if nothing happened.
The Ultra Burst no longer has several shockwaves that follow from the blast. I'm not sure if it loses them entirely, or has at least one or two shockwaves around the impact zone.
Other than those changes it's still alright.

alright my bros quick question
which Hunting Horn should i gun for at the start?
Fighting Bulldromes with the CB is SO MUCH FUN. Guard point! Guard point! Guard point! POW
Remember: you can hold down A to carve/gather now. And it's fast as fuck.
>>345232951
I wasn't ready for how cute petting these things are with Prowler on.
>>345236652
I haven't missed with aerial GS even once.
Fun fact: If you leave the circle pad idle once you vault, then you'll go straight up instead of up and over.
Even more fun fact: You can turn the stick in nearly any direction and do a complete aerial 180 in order to hit. You want to do this to angle yourself in a way to immediately vault off the monster again.
Smashing in faces for days. Also another fun fact: Aerial GS's draw attack has a small hop that closes distance AND also counts as a jump attack despite being drawn from the ground.
I feel like Hammer and GS got some of the best implementation of styles. Maybe also Lance/DB, although less so.
>>345236970

The Styles dude makes a reference to Pokemon saying something to the effect of "Don't you want to be the best hunter, like no other ever was?"
>>345239049
>>345239085
speaking of shiny beetles, why did they make the very first monster based armor set you can craft in the game require these rare ass fuckers?
>>345239243
Keep in mind that aerial hammer has three options. The standard single pound, the double pound, and the charge pound.
>>345239352
I'm swimming in shiny beetles, m8. Got like 20 of them. And I only just did Great Maccau.
>>345239349
>>345239198
Anyone who played 4U shouldn't be surprised by this at all. Did 8-4 do the localization again?
>>345239506
Just from Jurassic Park? I had to go on guild gathering quests to find any.
>>345238792
First time too, I'm having a horrible time with him. He moves around SO MUCH and he does so many fake moves I never know when an actual hit is coming and when it is I can't fucking adept dodge/block it for the life of me, save for the 2 or 3 obvious ones. The 4 monkeys he summons in every map that continuously throw snowballs at you 24/7 are a huge pain, and I just overall can never find a window to do damage at him.
Took me 40 fucking minutes to make him tumble before I completely failed the quest.I guess I could have ended it right there with a capture but that's just not cool.
>>345239506
>tfw drowning in Earth Crystals
After my runs in 4U I'm sort of glad to see this but LR village weapons have a thing for Dragonite ore now.
>>345239641
I just gathered from literally everything in every gathering quest, to the point of using the cat that hangs around base camp to send my shit back home so I can gather even more.
Hell I've delivered two wyvern eggs and one eternal fossil before Great Maccau. And they're not even needed for any quests.
>>345239643
Damn I thought I did bad but I manage to do him in at 12 minutes but that's within a standard of 6-9min on every monster before him.
What weapon did you attempt him with on Adept style? The demo really shown me that I need to be mindful on my running path and the spacing between the monster but that snow monkey makes it tricky in general. Plus that fucking clothesline is scary
>>345239543
No, 8-4 have nothing to do with the translation for this game.
>>345239543
4U's localization is amazing compared to this one, holy shit. I at least laughed at the eyebrow stuff, every conversation in generations is filled with memes and pop culture.

That sucks. I liked them, too.

Adept Charge Blade.
Took me this long because I just could find NO windows to deal damage. He does not stop. He is always moving and always attacking or doing fakes.

Also Maccao armor looks great on a cat.
is it possible to kill the glavenus in the mushroom quest? I wanted to fight it for practice and was having so much fun I just kept going. I've been beating on this guy for so long I ran out of stamina and food. I broke his head pretty fast and since then I've gotten like 6 wyvern tears off him from head (neck?) staggers.

Be confident in making your guard points. Remember that your hold A charge attack with the sword features a guard point in Adept.

>>345249250
How so?
>>345249250
Bigger variety overall, but there's a lot of beginner/throwaway monsters like Bulldrome that you won't really see too much of later on
They need ways to make starter monsters more prevalent. Seltas Queen was a step in the right direction, with the regular Seltas essentially being used as ammo
any hub? Almost done with village and up to HR3. I'm fine with anything. I'll take a while before each quest to equip the right element, though. If there's anything annoying with sns, it's that.
why does failing missions in monster hunter feel so much worse than failing at any other game. Failed a capture mission twice in a row. Now I remember why I used perception toward the end of 3U

there's no problem when playing solo but when you're playing with friends (but especially with randoms) you have to check the quest first, then go to the prep area which is at the OPPOSITE CORNER, change your stuff, come back and finally take the quest.
They really fucked up with the prep area. There's also no reason why the hub should be such a large area. This is why the previous gathering halls worked so well.

When you get to the place you can move it around, the right hand side represents the bottom screen placement, and the left hand side represents the top. Of you look closely you can see your healthbar represented, and next to that the map. Then you can move the map wherever.
>>345243280
Ah, no. Not quite.
That's LOADING your shield.
You want to CHARGE your shield. It's different.
By doing X+A several times in sword mode, you can shield thrust into a Yellow Shield Charge. This is the weaker of the two, but if you do a Red Shield Charge after the time limit you built up will carry over and add on, plus the motion can be used to extend a Red Shield Charge.
Red Shield Charge is when you do the X+A attack in axe mode with phials loaded (preferably a full stock), then hit R to cancel out of the super burst and back into sword mode. This leaves the energy bouncing around in the shield, removes sharpness loss from guarding, adds explosive charges to damage any attack that strikes your shield, and both increases axe mode attack damage and gives the Loading Draw (x after loading your shield) and Shield Thrust (x+a in sword) explosive charges, for no phial cost.
During Red Shield, your Super Burst (x+a in axe) will change into the Ultra Burst, and will not leave an explosive charge but instead do massive damage, at the cost of eating all available phials (with increased damage for each one) as well as your shield boost. You can downgrade an Ultra to a Super by pulling back on the movement pad and pressing X so you don't lose your phials and shield.

Aerial STYLE. Arts are the super attacks you charge up.
Adept is also okay. It held a speedkill time until Guild IG came by and beat it by 30 seconds.
Am I a faggot for picking Guild style with SnS (early game)?
The backstep attack seems nice, why exactly should I go for another style? Any style, sell it to me.

You're not a faggot if you choose a style as long as you can make it work and not trip up other hunters if you plan to go online later.

Not Blazing Rathalos. Hunting Blazing Rathlos is an automatic bad time. Trust me.

Misconception.
You get extra charge from taking damage. A good hunter shouldn't want to take damage.
>>345253108
Backstep has i-frames and you can go into it from most moves and presents an immediate counterattack. It also benefits from evasion plus skills last I checked.

You mean the double swing? It disappears on some styles, that doesn't mean it's wholly removed.

Yeah. I didn't know it was a stylistic thing, though, thank you.
That's pretty neat. I'm glad they're separating and identifying unique play-styles to such extents.even if I can no longer get juicy double-A's
How exactly does one "get into" the Monster Hunter series? I tried MHtri as well as some MH clones like Toukiden, and hated all of them for their repetitiveness and unnecessarily long boss fights.
>>345253632
It's removed from some styles, sure, but you can do a different dual note trick with aerial and adept.
Plus, the song playback mechanic more than makes up for losing that trick.
>>345253992
You do realize it's weak as fuck, right? I use adept for the sole purpose of being able to rightswing without neutralizing my joystick's position.

>weak as fuck
It's actually not. The two hits count up to about the same as left or right swing for a similar amount of time for the motion. Just because it's not an X+A doesn't make it bad.
>>345253992
Aerial does the double swing in mid air, and adept does a triple swing after a dodge. Striker just loses it outright.

>and hated all of them for their repetitiveness and unnecessarily long boss fights.
You don't. You're clearly not a fan of the series' core conventions, as these boss fights are what the entire franchise is structured around.
Don't make yourself acclimate to something you're resistant and naturally not inclined towards.

Where are you getting those numbers from? It takes longer and does less damage than the regular combo.
>>345234782
i believe its one blast that ups the damage now, not multiple smaller blasts. arguably an improvement

you have both the best and worse shield ingame, unupgraded you're gs, fully boosted (with guard+ skill) you're better than lance
Which weapon looks like the best one so far? I'm loving the shit out of the insect glaive.

Is it just me, or is SnS really weak in the beginning? I don't remember struggling this much with SnS before (in 3U and 4U). All the buffs are all well and good, but the SnS weapons seem rather weak. I can't find a weapon with good status + decent sharpness. Everything has a sliver of Green and it'll take me until next rank to get an upgrade and even then the sharpness isn't improved by much. I think I'm going to switch weapons soon. This just isn't fun.
What is Blast element even used for after the massive nerf after 3U? If all it does is extra damage, why not just use poison or higher raw?
>>345255292
You must be joking, I killed the Gendrome in like 5 combos.
>>345251574
Didn't they rework his moveset for land combat?
>>345255442
They did, but he is still piss easy compared to underwater lagi.
>>345255326
some weapons just have high raw and blast as well, and weapons that have good ele moves can benefit from both
even the blast cb's from 4 were pretty good because they had decent raw AND good status
its just another option, you're most likely never using it on say a gs, but blast db might be good
>>345254912
>Don't make yourself acclimate to something you're resistant and naturally not inclined towards.
Literally spitting in the face of the past. Life is all about forcing yourself to experience new things and reassess yourself, plus anyone taking that advice to heart is going to go out of their way to not seek out or take certain jobs just because they don't like them, even though they're unemployed.
>>345254992
The motion is 12+22. That's 34 total, about as strong as the forward slam (35 I believe?), and stronger than either the left or right single hits (30) plus doing two hits of element or status if that's your thing (how useful that is to a minmaxer is arguable however).
>it takes longer
Only just barely longer than a standard left or right swing. The two swings follow each other super fast compared to the standard left-right combo. You need only time the notes to see for yourself how true this is.
You're not losing much, if any damage for doing it. The "double hit" being weak is a myth.

blast does a set amount of damage as soon as the build up limit is reached, whereas poison is damage over time, and I don't think poison can result in breaking parts. Blast might not break parts either, in which case, I'm an idiot. Regardless, status effects are just up for preference, for the most part.

Blast can indeed break parts and cause staggers, however Poison has a mechanic where you can build up the value while the current poison is siphoning heath, so you can immediately re-apply it as soon as it runs out.
Unless you're tripping, trapping, or otherwise debilitating a monster constantly, poison's going to help you out while you can't get to the monster. This is super useful for ultra fast monsters or ultra big monsters that take big strides, so they tend to balance out in 1-2 player scenarios, but blast ultimately tends to shine more in 3-4 player scenarios due to the haphazard nature of such group hunts where it's harder to target certain zones without being interrupted by others.
Also for all monsters you do need to take their individual weaknesses into account. For some, poison will do more than blast ever will due to resistances, and the reverse is also true. Some monsters you're just better off using the right element on, and so on.
Of course all of this gets ignored once you find that one weapon with the stats that are a little too much better than any other weapon in that category, which is why I try to avoid shit like kelbi bow, kama sedition, and so on.
What are some armor sets that are good for mobility or status afflicting, like something for SnS?
>>345256459
Hey man, I know people that were super resistant to games I like in the past that kept trying and eventually found a way to tolerate or ignore the parts they didn't like in order to enjoy the parts they do. It's a legitimate thing.
I understand that "don't force yourself" is a legitimate advice, but the reverse is also true.

Granted I'm in LR so hopefully HR makes it even more aggressive with the status effects but right now it's a cakewalk to me.
Glavenus however is absolutely fun and I always watch it grinding his tail for an attack.
>>345253993
how long is too long? I don't think I'm that good but I've been beating most monsters in under 10 minutes and some like the crabs and bulldrome in under 5.
I find all the crafting stuff really addicting and when you can kill monsters fast it feels really satisfying.

What's the difference between palico training from the ranch and the training from the palico board in your room?
hey bros how do i aerial switch axe

>>345259874
And even though the swimming wasn't super great, it could have been better if they just expanded upon it and made it better in 4U, instead of removing it entirely.
>>345260018
It definitely seems like its something different. I can load up five cats with no timer even while I've got three cats training at the ranch
Is it just so you can train more than 3 at a time?
Does anyone else not like the new crafting? I really feel like there's no reason to change from the starting weapons since they have from what I can tell the best sharpness/damage mix most of the time.
>>345259524
>>345256234
It's more like you're just starting to notice the huge shift in designs between gen 1-2 monsters and gen 3-4 monsters. Their movesets, their behaviours, their timing, their hitboxes, and so on. It's all shit in comparison, even if the general idea of the monster is okay.
The only monsters from gens 1-2 that are actually good in gens 3-4 are ones that got tweaks and reworks. In particular, monsters from 2G/FU are the closest. Nargacuga, Tigrex, Rathalos and Rathian got some changes compared to how they were in Gen 1/2, and so on.
Tri was a fresh start for the series and the gameplay and monsters of third gen reflected that well. I actually wouldn't mind seeing MH5 be Tri 2.0, y'know? Another restart would do the series good.
Either that or they start actually changing monsters from gen 1/2. Like, on a basic level. Visually, and mechanically. Call them the same thing but make the excuse that evolution and breeding has changed them over time.
>>345260336
My problem with the swimming was solely the flooded forest. The regions were too small and you couldn't fucking see anything because of all the seaweed.
I had zero problems swimming in deserted island.

>>345260348
Elements and attributes.
Also other
>>345260510
>>345260348
Whoops.
Also other weapons will eventually outpace the basic starter weapons. The crafting style is mostly just a way to make it feel like you're making more progress with the weapon within each tier, and also give you an option to stick with it longer before swapping out so you don't feel like you have to grind so much.Or maybe you're just now noticing that 80% of weapons actually aren't so great, and have never really been.
>>345260143
I don't think swimming could ever be good on handhelds.
>>345260446
Flooded forest's cave area was nice, but the smaller swimming zones were a double-edged sword. Not only could the monster not swim as far away (meaning it was easier to catch up and smash it), but it was also easier for the monster to hit you.
>>345260847
The lagiacrus fight in flooded forest was the worst because it never went into that nice cave area and it took up so much space, that it felt very cramped next to it in the other regions, and there was very little room for maneuverability.
Most monsters only used that cave for sleeping in, which was annoying.
