/mhg/ - Monster Hunter General

Anyone else already burnt out from XX?
I really can't put up with another one armor one weapon meta right now.

>>171548136
I'm not even to G3 and I'm dreading the idea of grinding more hyper monsters solo

>>171548286
Gear doesn't actually affect the way you play and there isn't any fun to be had from using inferior gear.
But having one set of gear and one monster's weapons dominate for every weapon is just stupid. Part of MH is preparing for the hunt, and equipment is part of that.

>Silver Sol Z is memesol with Challenger +2
WTF

>>171548417
Did you think you were free of Ichinose?
It's the best set in the game for every single weapon in XX. Even GS.

has anyone tried challenger with gear 2nd mode?

>>171548261
>if
You know it will happen

So with XX, Capcom has made the MH game with the least amount of gear variety in history.

Do you think it was deliberate, or just sheer incompetence?

>>171548667
deliberate, they're even giving crit boost to GX white fatty

>>171548736
Everyone already knows it's Silver Sol Z, what are you talking about?

>>171548667
Transmog though

If there's anything to complain about it's that you can only log armor and not weapons

>doing village quests
>there's a big glowing red light in the sky
Nani?

>>171548796
Transmog is not an excuse for gear balance this bad.

Also, you can't transmog over your giant 4 polygon golden mantis weapons.

>>171548808

Valfalk is always watching.

>every video either has silver sol z, dreadking, glavenus x or mantis armor

>>171548385
Lets be real here though. Every. Fucking. MH Game has had a single armor set or two with one weapon per category be the 'king'. Yet it be a stupid clown set ( 3U Comes to mind ), just the highest ratio of sharpness + raw, or the abuse of a status ( Blast for 3U ), this is how it's always came to be if you honestly cared past the looks. The only reason why people tend to settle for less is because they are still trying to climb up to a point to use that stuff, and are using secondary gear as a result.
At least here it's ether going to be Hellblade if you go HA Ham + blast spam, or Mantas for the Natural Purple + 3 slots to jerk off towards that +2 skill bonus. It doesn't help that everyone's come towards the feeling that element is beyond trash, Raw is all that really matters ( beyond Blast's free damage at times ), and there's only 1 Monster you honestly need to 'prep' for given it's mechanic makes it vexing to fight if you don't ( Posion on Kusha so you don't get wind pressured to useless ). If you want a MH game where you can't just use a single armor set, go to Frontier where they give monsters a shit ton of AoE's and special roars and winds JUST so you should build armor and weapon sets just around that one fight, but then hate yourself because you have to use selective weapons for those fights or suffer carting left and right.

How are the charms in XX?

The only reason why 4U wasn't like this is because you could RNG dice roll Relic armor to be better then Star Knight or Uka Uka U. Without Guild Quest though those two would be 'king'.

>>171549757
Without a single piece of relic armor you could make a set with the following that outclassed Star Knight

Honed Blade
Razor Sharp
Challenger +2
HG Earplugs
Tremor Resist

Also another reason end sets where better in 4U is because both weapons with natural purple and weapons that need+1 where viable.

>>171549874

You still needed an amazing relic charm, though.

>>171549697
Diablos + (Whatever) For Crit Draw GS shitters.
Helios for Evasion fuckers.

>>171549948
You don't even need a dual skill charm for that, its just Edge 4 OOO which is fucking common compared to the charms you need in X to outclass things Dreadking and Silver.

But what if, like, this objectively wasn't true?
What if, maybe, I could point you toward my item boxes for the past four games and give you a list of weapons I use?
What if, just maybe, you're exaggerating things?

every mh has a repetitive and narrow endgame
yes, even 4u, 4ubabies

"b-but muh guild quests"
no. guild quests were shit and there was only one specific guild quest worth running.
if you would argue otherwise, then farming every monster in mhxx for armor to transmog should also be fine for an endgame :^)

>>171549874
>List both Star Knight and Uka Uka U
>You then tell me Uka Uka U is better then Star Knight
WAY. TO. FUCKING. GO. YOU. IDIOT. You just listed Uka Uka U, WHEN THAT WAS PART OF THE ISSUE. THERE WAS ONLY ONE LEGIT MIX, AND ONE LEGIT NON MIX SET IN 4U OUTSIDE OF SHITTY ASS RNG RELICIS.

>>171550191

It's not that this thread has changed, it's just maintained its continuous level of shittiness, and I'm just now realizing that what little relevant conversation is had doesn't balance out the shitposting.

Of course. Crit Boost was already busted in Gen, what makes you think anything other than Crit Boost would be viable in XX when the meta weapons have 330 raw?

I felt disgusted to the point of physical nausea, and I had to uninstall the game from my sheer revulsion.
Japanese players are already dropping the game because after making Silver Sol Z and Mantis weapons there's basically nothing else to do.

>Ichinose-san, people complained that rath sets were too good in X, what do we do?

>>171554974

It's really bizarre, especially the part about relic armour. The only thing it had going for it was more defense, and not that much more. Having all of its skill points derived off its slots was atrociously unsalvageable compared to the skill pileups crafted gear could amass, and people only farmed them to slut up.

>>171555448
Isn't that what means to deviate from the """meta""" to play for fun?

I can only hone one weapon this time, I need to clear naked and afraid in 4U, which weapon should I hone and what hone?

I think charm farming is pretty dumb. Finding a good charm can make or break a build you got going. I don't think there's anything wrong with editing in charms if they're legit. It's just RNG bullshitery.

Its a convenient skill to have, especially for Brave since the discharge infinite burns through phials like crazy. Might be busted on status CBs.

>Fire
Agree
>Water
Agree
>Ice
This is difficult, before in Gen the silhouette sabers were considered the best I think but now even with its 3 slots and high ice it's losing so much raw (40-60) that I don't think its worth it. Would probably say Rare 2 Lagombi
>Thunder
I think Kirin will still be important unless Thunder atk can reach 15 on the newest charms. If that is true then I think Lagi will be best

>>171557938
No I don't believe so, my point was that I liked the fact that if I was using Kirin Bolts with a thunder atk charm I could just gem in the extra 2-3 points needed for +2 atk using the slots on the wep itself. But if the G rank charms can reach +15 thunder atk then there wouldn't be a need (unless those 2 slots end up mattering for some other skill). In that case Lagi would probably win out.

I've beaten X from a new game three times now and I really can't see a single reason not to start a new game in XX. It's just fucking low rank after all, I'll do that in an afternoon.

What's with that upper left purple box in village quests though? I beat the monster listed there and got some extra mats I think.

>>171558569
Shard is G rank

>>171557971

Anyway, you need to do the following quests:

Sharpness+1 on top of the standard Gen crit mix on a 0 slot weapon and with a high rank charm.
Do not underestimate GX and XR armor.

I neglected the Bow and LBG last time around, do they have a purpose for existing? I like the free Power Shot on Bows but it seems to be gone on Brave style.

Is it worth it to run artillery expert on Gunlance? I've heard a bunch of conflicting stuff, but I'm leaning towards no, just run attack boosters. My friend thinks Guard is also not worth it on brave style, but it seems good to block attacks with guard points and not get knocked back, right?

I only have one question.

Is it harder than 4U?

>>171557850
astalos reaches natural purple but it requires some sort of sharpness skill combined with readiness or heavy polish. i think ultimately it will boil down to if adept or striker is more suited for a particular monster, and if it will be easy to get a sharpness skill with other offensive boosts

>>171558704
>>171558683
Fuck, thanks for the quick reply.

After combing over the HBG list on Kiranico, I've gathered that these 4 have the potential to be the best gun in XX:
>Daora Grande (Kushala Daora) - Raw: 350 Aff: +20% Slots: O-- - Reload: Above Avg Recoil: Medium Deviation: L/s - Pierce load: (5)/7/7
>Nightfall Blaster (Nerscylla) - Raw: 330 Aff: +40% Slots: OO- - Reload: Above Avg Recoil: Some Deviation: R/s - Pierce load: 5/(5)/4
>Celestial Tempest (Amatsu) - Raw: 350 Aff: -5% Slots: OO- - Reload: Above Avg Recoil: Some Deviation: None - Pierce load: 3/(3)/4
>Orcus Quarcus (Zinogre railgun) - Raw: 340 Aff: +20% Slots: OO- - Reload: Average Recoil: Medium Deviation: None - Pierce load: (5)/6/-

SP makes an art act as a higher level one to its current level, right?
If so, using it on something that has a lower recharge at a lower level over the higher leveled version might be a good idea.

Stop complaining about the meta not changing drastically.

It's G rank, an expansion, not an entirely new title.

Now you know why the japs are always bitching, they buy into the first title, and fuck all changes with G.

Where to find G-rank Gendrome? Need mats.

>>171560621
Compare the list of meta weapons between all the 3rd Gen weapons. Sure some weapons may or may not remain king but they have new rivals to compete with as well.

Ceadeus SA for example was king in Tri but in 3U, it had to compete with Mizar, Brachy and Nether.

Hate to jump on the hate train, because I actually like Generations and are pumped for XX but that intro is by far the worst they have ever produced.

Fight with barioth feels like a crappy 2000s CGI cartoon lacking any weight and feels too long, probably because of the crappieness, when these cutscenes usually have you hurting for more.
