I don't understand why people hate weapons that do good stuff. Like all of the 4U-related "Je suis monte" memes about Insect Glaive players, mounts give more openings so what's there to complain about? So yeah "that" weapon in his tier list will most likely be the Hunting Horn.

[@ReikuYin]

@@vermillion6159 It's not that it does good stuff, it's that many forget to do anything else but that good stuff. Imagine if you will fighting a monster and you are a party, and there is one person off to the side just playing music. Yes they are helping in a way, but could be doing more. That's a 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 of your damage gone as well as possible stuns. With the insect glaive mounting was nice but with how mount damage scales after one or two mounts they should be going for triple buff and going in, not doing less effective jump attacks anymore. That's why people have issues with some weapons. It would be like say... A g.sword player never putting the thing away after swinging and slowly lumbering around.

[@ReikuYin]

I've always had a horn user in my friends that played. But they were the, get in there and toot while bringing down the hammer kind. When I played with random, it was the, hide off to the side ones. Even more annoying in the games that had the double notes you only get when hitting a monster. In a game like monster hunter where damage matters as much as survivability, having one person not helping with that damage will rub people the wrong way. But good on you for being a battle mage over a white mage. We really do need more of your kind.

[@RegenWasTaken]

@@ReikuYin people legit dont use the HH to smack monsters even NOW? when the HH is actually super fun to use?! dude as a hh main those guys have missed the point

[@stickytim64]

@@ReikuYin I played MH Rise all the way through with the insect glaive to give it a try, since I've never been a fan, due to low damage in the air, making it feel pointless. honestly, I feel that IG air damage is no where near as bad as it used to be and is exceptionally consistent, not to mention safer now. so until a monster is tired or flopping on the deck like a fish, I try to keep my buffs up and put out as much damage as I can from the air. It's worked well and I still haven't failed a hunt, or felt like I'm slowing people down. Mounting actually hurt the image IG should have had in the first place tbh and Rise removing it has made it feel like a way more balanced weapon on the ground and in the air.

Story of Rise. "Hey your home town is gonna be attacked by a horde of Monsters in a little while and we kinda like our houses and lives so... go stab shit" I like the fact that... A : Your character seems to be FROM the town your defending B : Everyone has personality C : because your from the town and everyone has personality, their congratulations when you do cool stuff feels more genuine. For once you really feel like your defending your home, which is similar to World in a way as well. Everyone here in town knows who you are, what your doing, and is aware of what is going on.

[@nekosparkclaw2833]

Best part about point C is that YOU ACTUALLY PARTAKE IN IT WHEN YOU DO RAMPAGE ATTACKS

@@j.a.r.5974 yep, your not assigned to it, you did not pass out after a fight and then decide to stick around, and you did not set sail here on a boat to solve a mystery. This is your town, your people... and they act as such.. even treating 'Tutorials' as 'refreshers' or exercise. So as a result the game treats you like you have probably played before and doesn't talk down to you like your an infant with a big Twig on your back. Which makes the stakes for battle feel that much more important... Even the freaking UMBRELLA seller has a unique personality and has the important job of being part of the 'Close the gated!' group. Couple that with the Villagers who follow your orders to Man guns to shoot giant monsters and you have a location that feels more natural. Particularly compared to all the 'Hunter' npc you see join you in some World quests who just load cannons and then wave at you instead of FIRING THE CANNONS!

Have it to where if you capture a monster you can unleash it in the training room, then, you are able to practice on specific monsters you've already capture before. And maybe add settings in it too, like being able to make the monster or your health infinite, infinite sharpness and ammo, infinite wirebugs, etc. Due to how static and the original training dummy is its more monotonous to train up something, but if you could fight real monsters and set parameters to help with said practice you could learn so much about monster attack patterns, different weapons with their positioning, timing, when to use what combo, etc.

The video up until 0:15 pretty much summed up my experience

[@opswhyyou7216]

I like this game's even more streamlined hunting process, but I kinda missed some of MHW's small touches that this game didn't keep, like monster introduction cutscenes with your character in it, a functional blacksmith workshop (and other buildings) that you can see, wildlife that you can catch as pets, hunting guild's aesthetic changes during events(although this one could change in the future, given that rise is new and doesn't have an event yet), being able to observe captured monsters in your village, etc. Also, while MHW went lazy on the weapon designs, rise slacked off on armour designs, all armour sets have only a low rank and a high rank version, and there's no aesthetic changes between the two versions. Please rectify this mistake in the future Capcom and give us access to every armour sets as layered amour as soon as possible. You are breaking us fashion hunters' heart.

[@maxducks2001]

Update for those just seeing this video: Rise just got its 2.0 update released today, with 3.0 coming in late May. A bunch of new monsters have been added, and the HR cap that Scott mentioned is now unlocked, so the endgame HR grind is a thing now. 3.0 will have new monsters and continue the story. And based on this pattern, there’s a chance we’ll keep getting updates. And if World is any indication, we’ll probably get an expansion like Iceborne, possibly before or when the PC port is released early next year.

[@AveSizeBear]

It’s so frustrating when I’m hosting a hunt and someone captures it

[@TheGoldenDunsparce]

When someone randomly cuts away from the pummeling to set a trap to cap a monster that everyone is obviously attempting to kill, you can tell right away that their first MH game was World :/

[@s.bregnest2857]

You can try to avoid this by just telling them not to capture. They don’t _always_ listen, but sometimes it works. Or if they’re Japanese players, just go into Google Translate and set up a few messages that say “Don’t capture it!” It’s definitely helped me a few times.

[@TheGoldenDunsparce]

@@s.bregnest2857 That's true, but killing is the default, even to the developers. There's a premade message for "Let's catch this thing!", but not, "Let's kill this thing!" Also, there are players who speak Chinese, Korean, Spanish, and many other languages where, "Don't catch it!" isn't easy to understand in English, so you'd have to have it in multiple languages, which is just unnecessarily cumbersome :(

[@gamechanger8908]

Expert move: Accurately animating the adorable nature of the palico, palamute, and Dango Princess. Then making the twins seductive and beautiful. All the while cheaply throwing in the handler from World like a cut out with MUCH less effort to signify how little effort you believe they put into that character. Well done Scott, the sole reason I didn't buy Iceborne was the fact that we couldn't keep the serious handler and stuck with an extremely ugly version of Patrick Star.
