I liked GU's version of a hunt of the day where you get more (think it was double) rewards if you hunted the monster that was required to hunt. It was nicely randomised too as it had a good mix of low and high monsters giving you an excuse to hunt weaker monsters.

[@KidBowsur]

Yeah this was my favorite in gu I would actually hunt monster I didn't need to because it was worth it

[@1TheVelociraptor]

@@KidBowsur worst case scenatio, you get money for the monster and the extra parts can sell and in case of the metal raths, it's a good (although luck dependant) source of rath gleams

[@jaroca784]

I quite enjoy joining random hub quest. When a got a few minutes to spare I find myself picking up the switch and joining a random quest. Sometimes it's a Valstrax, sometimes a Royal Ludroth. Keeps things fresh and I always get something useful, I get lots of Zenny eggs from helping lower rank players and materials for melding if it's a stronger monster. It's plenty of endgame for me.

[@violetfern9885]

Agreed! I do this too! And random rampages! ^_^\m/

[@dartheastman1599]

The trio back together this podcast is a fantastic listen keep it up 👍

[@NetherNote]

1:26:00 Thank. You. Arekkz. The melding pot suffers the same problem as what Gaijin pointed out. In order to optimize, and assuming you're not hunting for a specific monster drop, people will hunt 1 or a few set of "final tier" monsters in both systems. As said before, people are hunting Narwa or Magnamalo over and over again because they provide higher points for melding. If we remove the melding pot, both systems are ultimately the same. You compensate for what you lack by mixing different armor pieces instead.

[@deinonychus1948]

all they need to do is have a 5% chance at the end of any High Rank hunt (or at least the harder ones like Magnamalo, Goss Harag, Tigrex, the Elders, etc) to get a random talisman, it could range from a Stun Resistance 1 Talisman with no slots, to a Attack Boost 3, Crit Boost 2 Talisman with two 2 slots, that would mean that you'd occasionally get a talisman for your efforts, and at the same time it wouldn't make the melder obsolete

[@shadowdragun]

1:16:05 To be fair, Bloodbath was a g rank monster. Apex is a high rank one. So we could possibly get the old one in g/master rank

[@GarliccDread]

I LOVE Astalos and wish they'd bring him to Rise but I'm at least very happy to see he's going to be in Stories 2. Excited that I'll get to see him and the gear again at least there lol

[@lucafenni4750]

I would also like apexes to drop some charms, they don't have to be a lot, maybe just 2 per hunt, you would still get more by melding...but at least apexes would have something more to them...😔

[@joesheridan9451]

They should drop 5 so we can get rid of that horrendous melding. It's crazy to me we never got an updated way to do that

[@FakeHeroFang]

It would be nice to have an ahtal-ka equivalent hunt that showers you with talismans. This game doesn't NEED it per se, but it would be really nice.

[@goldenbanananator1091]

When trying out a new weapon in Rise, any new weapon i first go hunt a Great Izuchi. Because the Great Izuchi is... great. It's in the name!

Rathian has been my baseline hunt for trying out new weapons going all the way back to 3U

[@locomotivo4644]

I always go bonk Apex Rathians with any new builds I come up with. She is basically Rathian but challenging and fun

[@CousinChal]

I think a nice way to deal with the end game loop rather than earning charms directly would be just to expand the subquest system into something more like bounties from world or hunt of the day from generations etc. So whether general like "hunt 2 bird wyverns" or specific like "hunt a pukei pukei" and you'd get a melding ticket as a reward. That way it would encourage people to hunt all sorts of different monsters, you'd get parts to meld and bonus tickets too. OR. Just introduce a "Random" button for single player hunts where you always get a melding ticket as a reward, and add that as a reward for joining multiplayer hunts using the "Random" button too. Encourage some jolly cooperation.

[@zeththedarkmage]

As someone who has played pretty much every fighting game that has come out since SF4 and Every Monster hunter game that has come out since Freedom Unite. It was super awesome to hear you guys talking about fighting hear you guys talking about fighting games, another favorite genre of mine. Now you guys just need someone to talk about Rhythm games, and you’ll have talked about all my favorite types of games.

[@fimmelpresse860]

I’m learning all the weapons. Rise is my first MH and I love to play around with the weapons. So, there is plenty of content for me… So far, I’ve got HH, SNS, Dual Blades, Bow, Insect Glaive and LS down. It’s so much fun as some of the weapons have real depth to them. And with some you really have to learn the attacks of the monsters (LS) and with some you are just all out on attack (bow and DB), which is really interesting. I love this game.

[@wilddreams]

i get your point gaijin. the problem is just that in a game like monster hunter you are kinda used to be rewarded for effort. even in completely random drop games like diablo, the harder the monsters, the higher the loot amount they drop. while in this charm system it's just...what ever. do what ever. put in what ever. spam a bunch of what ever lantern quests to rush through the melding cycle because you have too many materials anyway. and then get something. it's not really engaging or rewarding anymore and thus it doesn't really motivate me at least. when i start the game i feel like. "yea...let me slap something. it really doesn't matter. and it get's boring after 2-3 hunts. monster hunter always only catched me because it wanted me to do specific activities, finish specific quests, hunt specific monsters to reach my goal.

[@Paradox1012]

This is exactly it. I have fun with monster hunter for 2 reasons: the dance of death , and purpose per monster. If the monster gives me a specific purpose for fighting it I get way more engaged with the reward loop . This is why I think the guiding lands was a genius endgame because it gave EVERYTHING in the entire game purpose, and therefore you would fight tons of monsters there throughout the endgame and you could really experience the depth and breadth of the roster, it also pushed you to get better because better upgrades required materials from harder monsters. And community communication was important as well due to you needing diffrent guiding lands with diffrent materials that you needed which felt refreshing and gave a sense of comradeship to the people you fought with in the guiding lands though this feature is hit or miss depending on what type of gamer you are I guess. Monsters that gave you "the dance of death" feeling in gu and iceborne also gave a feeling to strive for. And when you finaly achieved it ,while equally dancing with this apocalypse before you ,you feel something, at least I do, something like :"YES THIS IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE ALIVE, WE ARE THE APEXS OF THIS LAND WE WILL FIGHT AND DIE TOGETHER HAHAHAHAHAHAHA". It makes me feel like some cheesed up anime villain that wants to fight people cause he only feels alive from being strong or something. It feels so goddamn good. I think other people feel a similar way about endgame and that's where disatisfaction comes from. I think rise is great though, and it's just barely teetering on the edge of doing this things, but it's not quite there yet.

[@Scarlight_JB]

55:10 I personally like Ibushi more than Narwa in terms of design and abilities

[@sirspanks69]

Same

[@yiangaruga4928]

Same! I really like Narwa too but the final form was a bit too much. I also felt unpleasant hitting her in that form knowing she's got fertilized eggs in her biggest weak point.. :c

[@deinonychus1948]

@@yiangaruga4928 I just hope we get a standalone Event Quest for Ibushi and Allmother Narwa (by that I mean fighting each one separately in their own quest) Ibushi because he desperately needs a standalone quest and Allmother Narwa because 5 minutes of her quest (at maximum) is spent fighting her husband/king, and even though watching her suck the life out of him is quite cool, it does give you a lot of time to attack her (in my case shredding her tail with a Machine Cannon to get extra carves lol) They could also could pump up their HP and attack, explaining it lorewise as "This Ibushi is in prime condition and hasn't spent 10 minutes getting brutalised by heavy artillery" and "This Allmother Narwa has perfectly assimilated her king's power into herself and is now at full power" They could realistically do that, call the quests "Breath of Ire" and "Lady of Lightning" after their intro titles and you're good to go!

Man this was a great discussion. Pretty much everything I wanted to hear discussed was done so amazingly. Really glad this podcast exists.

[@marcofromtropoje3169]

I actually prefer the apex fights over the GU counterparts (aside from bloodbath). I feel like the apex movesets are balanced more with a better spread of threatening moves. I feel like the deviants had one main move that was much more difficult to deal with but lackluster moves besides that. For example dreadkings super fireballs were way scarier in GU but the rest of his moves felt kinda copy- pasted from normal rath. The apex version has a more diverse and threatening moveset even though his super fireball is much easier to deal with.

[@sleepymilk4599]

Guys, Narwa and Ibushi met, mated, Narwa got pregnant, sealed herself with magnetism while Ibushi stood up defending the nest. Hunter comes, smacks the guard and they fall down. Narwa sees ibushi lost and as a last attempt to protect the eggs consumes him like any good mother would do anything for their children

[@maxlilico5375]

ArrekZ’s idea for dash bombing would be SO sick if at the end of it you turn the gunlance downwards and do wyvernsfire into the ground creating a nova like from GU. Now that would be (as Josh would say) ABSOLUTELY LUDICROUS

You can still have the system where we meld monster parts for talismans, just don’t make us wait literally 10 quests JUST to get the charms, let us get them instantly once we put the materials in to meld them.

OoOoOoOOo can't wait to listen to this during LA traffic! Anyway, I have a request for a video. How about going through each of the Dango options/buffs. There are only a few videos out there on the topic but they are all about which ones are meta. For example, as a bow gun player, I do not know the exact numbers of Dango Marksmen or dango temper. I am especially curious how Dango Defender works. Is it like Divine Blessing? Keep up the great work you 3!

[@nightmocha9345]

Dango defender is like divine blessing, but defender and blessing do not stack. Needed all the damage reduction on a second character, and tried to use the two together for better survivability, and the thing wouldn't activate that often anyways. You'd think you'd get that damage reduction 100% of the time, too, from having high defender and lv3 divine blessing.

[@joesheridan9451]

Of course he does

[@mikes9767]

My disappointment with update 3.0 stems from 1 thing, no bow charge plus deco, we can't even get it on a charm. They introduced 2 new armor sets(Ibushi/narwa are interchangeable so I'm counting them as 1) both are best when used as a 5 piece set. Even the Ibushi/narwa weapons require bow charge plus to reach max level and they each have a ramp up skill that benefits from using a full set.

[@guardian_of_the_rune]

My heart is broken the egg hammer can't reach white sharpness even with max handicraft. Tigrex is the best hammer in raw damage (which is the only damage) and silkbind boost is an extra 10% for the best impact creators. Diobolos with 5 handicraft is only a little less damage on non silkbind attacks but obviously less comfortable to build and no 10% bonus 10 hits of white. Still need to play round with rampage weapons.

[@worstwordmonger]

[@snowpoint720]

I feel like the Eggs (money), Lazuraite, and Layered Tickets are enough reason to play Apex Hunts. You could farm each 1 faster alone, but Apex you get all this stuff while hunting a monster that is more challenging. The melding system in this game allows you to make talismans by hunting any monster. World was all elders, all the time. Rise: Elders are more points, sure, but if you just feel like beating up an Anjanath you still get points.

That may be nice to have a quest with random factors, like you don't know what would the mutators be like for the monster .. or even a quest that let you go into the map without even knowing which monster you'll face. We could imagine a "kill one random monster" quest, then a "kill two random monsters", and even some "kill two random monster with random mutators" .. i feel like that would be cool, we'd have some "end-game" loop that let us fight against every monster in the game while increasing the rewards of the quests (for now, I don't even want to fight apex monsters because they mostly give 20 points parts for melder ...)

I'm gonna be that guy and say Switch Pro is getting less and less likely the more that reports/leaks/etc are made on it. It's like the Mario 35th stuff where it feels like people willed it into existence, but Nintendo this time might not feel happy about being basically pressured to do something. So I don't think we'll get Switch Pro anytime soon, if ever. The regular Switch itself sells enough that they don't NEED to either. Are people so quick to forget the Gamecube and how it hadn't sold that well compared to other systems at the time? That was the last time Nintendo actually tried to match the power gap. Which was before the Wii, which bucked that trend and sold immensely. Nintendo doesn't *need* to make a Switch Pro. Feels like everyone reporting about it just really *wants* them to make it (either to have it close the power gap or to feel validated about jumping on the rumor bandwagon). And it's getting to the point where I just want Nintendo to come out, tell them all "No. It's not happening. Switch is fine. You will wait for next gen. Wanna know why? You keep leaking our stuff. The L is Real." and have a nice day. It was nice at first, but it feels overbearing and it's like....guys. Chill. Nintendo will say something when THEY want, not because you (journalists) say so. Chill out.

I think gaijin said something that really reflects the gaming industry state as a whole: “it’s okay to say that you’ve beaten the game”.

[@tarrickmerdev2324]

Ruri et al, everyone did NOT just repeatedly hunt T3 (elders) in MHW for decorations. T2 had better drop rates for decos. Gaijinhunter himself did a video on this like a month after MHW released. There was a significant variety in monsters to hunt for decos. Anyone that was exclusively hunting T3s for decorations was, sadly, misinformed. T3 investigations were for streamstones, not decos.

Longest base game for me was MHTri at 934 hours. Don't think I'll ever beat that lol.
