That is the first time I've ever seen that kind of advice on the general that got mad at people using lifepowders.

Man, the monsters in Toukiden Kiwami feel really spongey and boring to fight. Are there any good clones?

>>175541907
Monster Hunter

>>175541907
Even in the game's high rank equivalent they'll have plenty of idle time and faster attacks. It's only really any fun if you have a good Mitama build going for your weapon, but the first game isn't exactly intuitive with this.

If you want Monster Hunter, play Monster Hunter.

>>175541819
theres a difference between a player that can stay at a fixed HP and a player that clearly cant stay out of the monsters attacks

>>175542327

>>175541603
Transmog is a mistake

>>175542451
The second game I think feels better as it tries to be more its own thing and improves the Mitama system, but yeah the core combat isn't much different, now you just get the Demon Arm to turn full body attacks into trips or close distances. And by the time you can make cool builds there isn't really much game left.

It also lacks forced solo quests, infinity ruin runs are less rewarding than a set of ten floors, and just dying once in free roam forces you to reload a save, so there's no real incentive to actually git gud either let alone go solo.

>>175542691

The man asked about looking for an alternative that's comparable to MH.

>G5 Silverwind is a Silverwind, a Crimsonhelm, and another Silverwind

G5 deviant quests were a mistake. Still gonna do it, but they're a mistake.

>>175541907
Dauntless. The monsters actually change up on you and will fight differently depending on what you've damaged on them, what they've hit you with before, what they've missed you with before, they harvest aether and theirenraged mode is an entirely different beast. I wish there were more to explore in the Alpha but I'd keep an eye out for it.

>>175545720
So if you dodge every move except for one, they'll eventually just use that one move over and over again?

>>175545608
It's not too bad to be honest. Better than some of the other G5 multi monster hunts.
I ran a duo with someone and it only took us 20~30 to finish. No carts either.

It's the same shit as always. You'll be chasing the sw around the area for most of the fight and the redhelm shows up after the first narga is almost down.
Bring smoke if you plan on soloing it.

>>175545720
Have you actually played Dauntless? I saw that people can buy beta access but I can't imagine so few people would be talking about it if they were already in that stage.

I would simply buy the system it's on like the 3DS.

>>175547584
Sony has a strict no exclusivity contract policy. The closest to an exclusivity contract that can happen is that Capcom and Fujioka/Ryozo makes a new IP for them in the hunting genre with Studio Japan's involvement. But seeing Capcom's public statements recently, it seems that they have realized that doing the exclusivity contract with Nintendo was hurting them in some way or the other, or that there's no more incentive to continue such practice, and they are seriously considering MH series going multiplat.

>>175548476
This community is already been divided by gen-wars, so multiplat online would be a small deal anyway.

Is there a weapon database for Frontier? I checked the site and don't see one.

>>175548476
Just choose the one you're most comfortable with. Consumer choice is very important.

>>175548476
Why should it be divided? FFXI and DQX could work without having divided online. Why can't MH?

>>175548795
In that context, Frontier worked too but they merged PC, PS3, PS4 and Vita servers together leaving 360 and Wii U servers separate with few people in them. Also DDON also have shared servers with PC, PS3 and PS4.

Exactly.

>>175552143
Too easy and the only difficulty is the most artificial to date with monster spamming OHK moves and having greatly inflated health.
Also all monsters and gear look like hot shit and variety is shafted.

>>175552447
Are there just specific OP configurations, or is it all strong? Or is the problem that there are clearly best styles/arts which discourages the use of others?

Not that anon, but this is pretty much the problem with both mechanics.

>>175552384
Except you weren't forced to do either of those things in their respective games. Just because you're an autist who cares about 999 or getting perfect relics as efficiently as possible, doesn't make it the game's fault.

Good one.

>>175552523
While there are some styles that really need balacing (looking at you Brave style), I can guarantee none of the shitters that claim the game is "too easy" haven't tried soloing endgame Deviants. I'd put XX difficulty around 4U levels, while styles and arts can make your life easier, the monsters are more dynamic and active now, and endgame is just as hard as you'd expect

>>175552823
FU was mostly fair with wonky hitboxes, it was artificial until you got used to being thrown away by things that shouldn't.
Hypers using the same OHK up to five times in a row is not fair or fun.

>>175552921
Wonky hitboxes
And wonky controls
And 0-frame charges on everything
And inflated damage values on trivial attacks

Sure sounds organic, grandpa

>>175552518
>the game is too easy until it becomes too hard

>>175553079
Yes, how is that special in any way? Many badly designed games are like this.
And it's not "too hard" it's unfair, difficulty doesn't matter if it's not fun enough to overcome.

>>175553142
Unlike things like Gen 1 monsters that just attack with no warning, endgame deviants actually do have tells before performing OHKO moves, and you now have shit like Absolute Evasion, Brave Style in general and other stuff to avoid those moves as long as you're decent. In a way they're way more fair than Yian Garuga and the insta-charge meme

>>175553274
Fuck off. FU was perfect.

>>175552921
I really enjoy Hypers. I'm not really going to argue with your disdain for them, but what a ridiculous statement about artificial difficulty. Anyway, I think I would give them like 1/5th less HP or something, but I think especially in multiplayer it's great having hunts that aren't over in 3 and a half minutes. The AI and hitboxes are just lightyears better than gen 1 or 2 games, and the monsters even seem far more lively than gen 3, so I haven't once found myself uttering "artificial difficulty" like some curmudgeon.

>>175553306
Grandpa, take your meds and go to sleep

>>175553142
>difficulty doesn't matter if it's not fun enough to overcome.
Speak for yourself.

I'm having plenty of fun with XX's endgame

>>175553274
Why are you talking about Gen 1 and 2? I never said it was much better.
>Shit like AE and Brave
That's the problem, you shouldn't have to rely on them. AE would have been fine if it was an emergency escape but it's a very short CD move you should almost be spamming.
>>175553307
>Gen 1 and 2 AI and hitboxes
This is completely off-topic.
The artificial difficulty part is about monsters spamming their OHK moves, Hypers chain attacks up to five times in a row and Super Deviants have clearly inflated damage, it feels like a badly designed CQ compared to G5 versions.
>>175553306
No one believes that.

>>175553487
>Why are you talking about Gen 1 and 2? I never said it was much better.

>the most artificial to date
>to

>Gen 1 and 2 AI and hitboxes
>This is completely off-topic.

The old hitboxes are the most prominent example of a legitimate artificial difficulty complaint. Even if you want to argue that, the complaint has plenty of merit and commonly been cited for gen 1 and 2. Your example is much more subjective. Monster aggression is what some people want, I personally am really happy there's actually something to fear in some hunts. To me it's fair.

If I can't make a Lao weapon after finishing my urgent, should I just ignore them and keep using what I already have until HR uncap? I have like 3 Lao mantles from my urgent and I have no idea what to do with them. Do I just sell them or what?

>>175553487
>Why are you talking about Gen 1 and 2? I never said it was much better.
then I have to wonder why are you sperging out so much about endgame deviants, because according to you MH was always shit

>That's the problem, you shouldn't have to rely on them. AE would have been fine if it was an emergency escape but it's a very short CD move you should almost be spamming.
When the game gives you more mobility and options to avoid moves, it's perfectly fine to ramp up the monster difficulty. A worse game design would be keeping the monsters on 3U level of difficulty while giving the hunters all the upgrades they got in terms of movement in the past few games. And it's not like you have to have AE or Brave style to solo endgame deviants, you can do it Guild style with no hunter arts, you just have a more friendly option to avoid them. Once again, spamming OHKO moves is not an issue when the monsters have the tells beforehand. Proper positioning is key, as always

>>175553689
>A worse game design would be keeping the monsters on 3U level of difficulty while giving the hunters all the upgrades they got in terms of movement in the past few games

This made me laugh to imagine.

>>175553968
Brave CB is fun!

>>175553628
Yeah, because it's much worse, old MH was "artificial" because the tells weren't always accurate, the problem in XX is not the tells it's the spam.
People complain about old games being old but this is the latest game in the series, I'm aware older games may feel more artificial but this has been fixed for a while, and now they jump back in with stupid decisions, let's not even talk about the unfun deviant quests conditions.
Compare Super Deviants to Super Dios in 3U, at least it had a different AI, not just inflated damage and health.
Apex and Frenzy were much more fearsome and did the aggression much better, and I'm not talking about 140s.

>>175553689
According to me old MH was wonky and artificial because you had to learn the hitboxes by getting hit because the tells were bad, it wasn't that bad once you got past that.

It's not because it changes the core gameplay.
3U with a long CD on Absolute Evasion would be fine.
It is because they're specific moves, take 140 Rajang, it has lots of OHK but the way it fights make it much more fair because it very rarely spams, worst that could happen is doing the barrage twice in a row.

>>175554020
Apex and Frenzy just ruined monster AI.

In MH4U, I see there are S and X versions of sets. Does this mean anything? Like X is G rank or something? What other letters/tiers are there?

I even some "U" sets. Why is it U and not S?

>>175554113
Not ruined but the randomly charging at nothing was bad.
Apart from that it was really good, especially Frenzy.

Well the way things were in 3rd gen may have been real comfy, but monsters were honestly punching bags. They had to do something. I still don't agree at all with calling it spam. Everything seems very well timed. I have to say, the AI of XX has been one of the few high points for me.

>Compare Super Deviants to Super Dios in 3U, at least it had a different AI, not just inflated damage and health.

Since 4's Guild Quests I have always thought of their difficulty ramping method as impressively dynamic. To me Event Brachy was just an exciting prequel to that.

>>175554151
>the randomly charging at nothing was bad.

Definitely subjective, I'll give you that one. I loved the fact the monsters would hallucinate, found it very trippy.

>>175553642
>cancercat poster talking about others' lack of self awareness

>>175554230
I didn't say 3U was much better, Supers were a pain because of the stupidly high health pool.
4U did the difficulty right, one of its biggest problem is the stupid roster choices.

It's fun but gets in the way, I don't remember where but I've heard they were supposed to predict your next move and whenever they did that it means the AI fucked.

>>175554265
I must admit I have no idea what he meant by this. Omg. Maybe that means he was right!

Can I trade anything to a vege elder for Purecrystal in XX?

can someone post that pic where to look for specific palicos in 4u?

>>175554342
I have seen a little predictive AI in XX, I believe. That actually impresses me personally. Definitely part of what I mean when I say they seem livelier, less animatronic than ever.

>>175554510
Isn't that in the pastebin?

>>175554517
That's from 4, that's when they stopped switching targets immediately after ONE attack.
It's not reactive, they're preset comboes, like Hyper Goldian windpress landing and 140 Rajang sidestep into spin

>>175554118
nvm, found it.
S/U are for high rank normal/subspecies
X/Z are for G rank normalk/subspecies

Now my question is : are S/X straight upgrades, having the same skills as the basic set, and U/Z have different skills?

>>175554445
No, but it's a 40% subquest reward from G1 Gypceros quest.

>>175554673
Yeah, done 2 subs and nothing yet. ugh.

>>175554658
G Rank versions are upgrades but they're different enough to sometimes use HR gear in G rank mixed sets, same for Z except they're completely different from the S/X but act the same (Z is a better U but also different)

>>175554605
Well that Rajang combo as an example just seems too baitable. I'll bring up one thing I will call spam. I swear monsters have an "offended they missed" factor, which may lead to them trying the same move you just evaded two or three times.

>>175554753

With the switch basically being a handheld wii u there's no point in using something as weak at the vita anymore. Maybe if there's a vita 2.

>>175562610
Okay dude if you want to give up 140 defense for literally no change in skill set be my guest, I'm not playing as you

>>175562610
Not him, but Mantis set is indeed the best all purpose set because of its versatility and defense. Getting a standard crit boost set while having great defense is better than minmax set which have 10% more crit but with less 200 def.

There is a Vita 2 though. But logically speaking, MH5 will be on 3DS and PS4 like DQXI. Switch is simply too early on. You need at least 3 years to make a new numbered MH title, historically speaking of course.

Has anyone done any testing on how much weight affects the stagger for your kinsect? Or just messed around with using kinsects other than the crit one and balanced one? There seems to be a misconception that weight increases stamina which it does not. I want to try to make the best use of the new IG art and brave style bug gimmicks but it's hard to find info in English. Extra staggers/trips from using your A attacks seems like it would be good. I'm testing it out on low rank monsters using base glaives/bugs using only the bug and my 200 weight bug tripped the monster twice while the 50 one never did. It makes marking interesting too since the bug gets sent out just by marking in brave style.

>>175562829
>less 200 def
>let's exaggerate how weak mixed sets are to make mantis look better in comparison.

Standard ECECE is 790 def compared to mantis' 860.

Silver Sol Z is even better.

I very much enjoyed MH4U. I adore MHGen, and I can hardly wait for MHXX.

>>175563746
Hayabusa isn't used as much because of another tempale mix with silversol Z and Ceanataur that give you Challenger 2, CE2, WE and crit boost.

And when did I say anything abbout minmaxed sets?

All I said was mixed set isn't as far behind in defense as you think it is, and guess what, ECECE is a mixed set.

Personally I hope they'll bring back agnaktor, seltas and nerscylla. Breaking lots of parts always feels good and brutally beating down a spider has been one of the more memorable fights of 4u at least for me.

I think the problem with weight is that if you're going to be attacking with your bug in any serious capacity, you'd want power first and speed second, right?

>>175569062
That's why I want to know how it affects the flinching ability of the bug specifically. If it just breaks parts faster or actually flinches more often.

Regardless, when playing online the balanced bug likely can't be beat anyways. I'm just going to use that with Power/Speed for now. It's pretty easy to make a new bug and swap it on in XX so it's not like it's difficult to mess around with stuff.

Should I hunt for a CIA for XX/Generations or just keep playing 4U since I just realized generations was the localized version of X which I forgot came out

>>175574829
The current patch for XX (2.1) has everything relevant translated, so as long as you don't give a shit about NPC dialogue, you can play with no problem. I'd definitively recommend getting the.CIA for XX since there's a chance XX might not come to the west (and even if it does, it's more likely just by the end of the year)

>>175575482
yeah but then I have to patch it and I'm a giant lazy cunt

>>175574829
4U is a better game than Gen/XX. I wonder how active the online is though (not likely) because otherwise you'll just have village and solo guild. No real reason to pick Generations over XX with the English patch (there is no story and NPC dialogue is boring) at this point unless XX has less people online below G rank (not sure) and you don't mind not having any of the new features.

>>175575616
I found a pre-patched version. Don't remember where, but a little google-fu might help you

>>175575646
4U is still fairly active online, you can usually get like 5 pages of rooms on the regular. I actually saw a HR 999 guy in a one earlier, it was pretty neat.

It's exclusive to the Xbone.

it's basically mandatory for any aerial style. it's like shot up for gunners except better. not only does it boost the damage of aerial attacks, but it also makes it easier to mount and topple monsters, sort of like a weaker version of mounting master

What's even the good parts about lances? They're the only weapon I've never tried at least once.

>>175585049
I figured, it's just I never saw chris use it on his aerial sets. Though, it doesn't seem like he's using aerial CB at all in xx...

I remember having some fun in FU when using evasion+1, so try that. I'm not good at either crab, so even with evasion, their attacks come out too quick to reliably react to.

Download the dlc of the game. All if it. The epona, P&D egg are in the Arena which its midway end of the game or so. Orochi and silver and a few others are HR dlc quest from the board which is end game stuff.

Brave HBG exists.

I have the dlc installed with the english patch ,so they are from quests? thanks

Yeah but getting into siege mode is risky as fuck, you can't brave dodge from it. You first have to roll out of siege mode.
Its not hard to dodge some attacks using that roll tho, I feel like they made it last a bit more.

I'm guessing brave HBG would be the Vanquish guy

Is gypceros autistic?

>>175589140
maybe don't willingly fuck yourself over by installing rootkits.

you can brave stance very quickly after a roll though, so all you have to do is pretty much anticipate and roll a bit earlier

Most pre Third Gen flying wyverns are.

I've decided to undust my MH3 copy while I wait for the delivery of my copy of MHXX, so I've started a new character.

My memory is rather bad, so I don't remember what content was online-exclusive. What I remember was online-exclusive are the high-rank versions of the armors, Loc-Lac city and it's quests, Jhen Mohran, Alatreon, Deviljho and their armor sets (did all three have armor sets? Or just weapons?), room decorations and all weapons that require high-rank materials. Did I miss anything?

Is there a way for me to change my voice/gender? I've seen people reference XX hacks in the past, but I have no idea what they're capable of doing. I'm getting super annoyed with the voice I selected because I didn't realize what the noise was for the GS super charge followup

there is one but it's in nip. if you mess around with it a bit, it should be fairly apparent where the voice/gender data is. i'm pretty sure voice is safe to change as i've changed it many times with no ill-effect, but people have reported that changing genders can cause problems
