When they talk about not getting the ironwall skill on the decoration, for some reason it made me so happy. The developers playing the game and enjoying it like us consumers

[@burnttoast1150]

the fact they even acknowledged world's decoration system at all, and the problems that came with it, showed how good these developers are

[@MysticDragonForce]

@@burnttoast1150 True, I still preferred how it was handled in World than in Rise though. I think they've reduced the max level of Guard now as well, from 5 to 3.

[@michaelmcdonald2005]

@@MysticDragonForce I feel like Rise and the older game's deco system is just objectively better though? Especially late game decorations, where there's still quite a decent grind to craft each one, but it feels like you're making tangible progress. A game with World's charms and the old generation's deco system would be perfect

[@spammerman7556]

@@MysticDragonForce I think, since we have two weapons now, they're trying to take out skill tax like guard and turn it into a comfy skill. So running stuff like bow + lance wouldn't hinder the weapon performance.

I simply don’t understand why they add a ridiculously long *fixed* recovery time to dual blades’s flurry rush… in mhw and mhr you could cancel that recovery by chaining into other attacks or simply dodging, but you can no longer do that in wilds.

[@dynamo_lynn]

I'm a little confused by Tokuda's talk on "this is the first game where we designed actual starting weapons". He could have at least precised that this is the case, but for "main" titles. All of the portable games have their own unique starter weapon trees ; P3rd had the Yukumo weapons, Gen and GenU had Bherna weapons, and Rise had the Kamura weapons.

[@zacharyhansen8250]

@dynamo_lynn I think they more or less meant weapons with starting skills on it. Of course every monster hunter game has had the like "starter weapon" but none of them really had anything that would keep them relevant unless it happened to just have baller raw fully upgraded

[@zacharyhansen8250]

There is also a chance they're specifically referring to world since we just had iron as starter.

[@hyperionloader]

As I understand it they mean "starter weapons" with a design theme. Like the original commentor said, we had this in portable titles like Yukumo, bherna and Kamura. But not in numbered titles. There we only had bone and iron. But now we also go the Hope weapons.

[@Lutyrannus]

They're clearly saying the first game that they've worked on. Tokuda & Kaname were staff on MH(G), MH2, MH3(G), MH4(G), MHW(I), and now Wilds. None of those other games had a specific starting weapon series, they just started you with iron weapons, but Wilds will have the Hope series of starting weapons for the first time.

[@dynamo_lynn]

@@Lutyrannus I've said this in my comment already. They're talking about main titles. What they aren't doing however is stating it.

[@Kurobeau]

Just 8 mins and 30 seconds of why I love Monster Hunter: because the developers do too. Their heart in the game just oozes out from it. So very dear to me as well. The crunchiness of older titles may never come back, but the intention behind it will always shine through.

I remember picking up the very first MH on the PS2 in 2004. I had no idea what the game was about, just had enough money for a new game and I noticed that in the shop and went for it. It's been my favourite game series ever since!

[@simonshura9144]

GS Focus strike ITS LIT

[@ristoranta]

That last point from Tokuda, that's really it. For efficiency I always went to switch to a specific set with a specific weapon depending on a specific monster (subspecie, etc). Now it will be still necessary to readjust but the experience will be much more seamless. Close/Long range, blunt/cut, status/element. Now the game will encourage or even push ppl to understand the very full content and experience it👏👏👏

As a GS main since Freedom Unite I feel oddly fuzzy inside that the GS still plays such a core role in their design philosophy.

Theoretically yes. The build used for the beta was already an old build (i think the same as the first closed play test) and at the time they side that the latest build was a lot more stable. Also the next beta unfortunately will use the same build so dont expect any improvement.

In world you needed rng decos to push past that limit. only thing world did bad compared to rise was restrict certain skills behind rng. that's the only valid argument against it, which wilds is addressing now. but the end result is everyone gets played by the devs reworking the same system since old gen days

[@baconx6476]

Sounds great, been a long time fan of the series since FU, and I'm digging a lot of what the dev is doing for Wilds. The only thing that I want is for them to crank up the difficulty of the monsters like speed, damage, etc., even if it's only relegated to the endgame. As players naturally get better, even those new from World, they're gonna need to adjust the difficulty at a higher pace or else the challenge won't be there until like the very end of updates.

[@kylesmith546]

I hope elemental strengths/resistances have more weight behind them in this game. You should really have to plan your build for whichever monster(s) you're planning on fighting - at least in high rank and up. I'm sick of the attack/affinity builds being used as the meta for the entire game. If a monster is weak to water, a water based build should easily do more damage than a raw damage build.

The type of ammo that was rather underpowered in comparison to altenratives? I hope elemental HBG will be as viable as raw ones, because if not, it would be weird to not have to manage resources for better ammo, yet have to for infeiror.

[@Tundra_00]

Elemental ammo is leveled now. I can see level 3 elemental ammo doing way better damage against specific monsters. I doubt they would make raw ammo better than elemental ammo even though we dont have to restock for them. Besides we do have access to two weapons. I can see myself bringing two BG's one with good elemental ammo stats and one with good raw ammo stats. Since they bind damage skills onto weapons, this gives us good variety on the hunt. And if we want to focus on only elemental for a hunt it gives incentive to understand the monsters areas they are roaming in and studying the map to find a good place to set up mobile camps for resupplying and going back into action as soon as possible.

There is a pity system for the rng decorations? Thank fuck for that. I got screwed by rng in base World. I had less than 30 decorations left to collect to have a complete set of them all and 6 of them were attack jewels. The 1 I did get was the freebie that everyone got at the start.

I'm guessing you know by now that you also get one for doing the Witcher collab quest and saving the Pukei-Pukei

I got my first attack 4 deco at Master Rank 990. It's completely dogshit. I know people who are MR999 and still don't have it

[@osirisavra1301]

You can get another one if you complete every side quest in the Witcher quest,not that it matters really, attack decos usually are the last you need to use on a set.

@@osirisavra1301 I never found them useful enough to slot them in compared to the billions other nice skills there is. Though attack 4 was half decent.

[@guitarluva90]

@@osirisavra1301 This was before the Witcher quest was available. There was one given for free when you made a character then they gave one more for free with that quest.

"We had never made an attack where looking cool mattered more than performance," it's like Insect Glaive doesn't exist Lmfao.

i hate that IGN has to be the one providing all this info

Why?

[@unclebaba3463]

@@YuriCcrt34 because they're terrible most of the time

Being able to meld all basic decorations is nice, but I still think there should be bad luck protection for all decorations (and in fact all items/materials) in the game. Even if you have to trade an enormous amount of stuff to get something guaranteed, it's so much better than just wasting your time hoping for miniscule drop chances.

I just hope that Alchemy system is not RNG based 😭😭💔💔🙏🙏
