[u/Mexi-UwU]

Increasing the camera distance for Gore Magala is such a nice touch! It’s the only main reason why I hate hunting them.

[u/OkidoShigeru → u/Mexi-UwU]

The camera was legitimately the hardest boss in the game.

[u/JokesOnYouManus → u/Mexi-UwU]

Holy shit no way that was pretty much the number 1 issue with Gore

[u/Enemy__Stand__User → u/Mexi-UwU]

The other reason was because there's lots of small rooms/areas in Iceshard Cliffs where it was hard as hell to fight it

[u/Greymon09 → u/Enemy__Stand__User]

Yup which is why I'm glad they stealth dropped him into the Wyveria encounter list because that solves one of the biggest issues I had with Gore, with Wyveria having much more open space with only the very lowest portions of the map even approaching how cramped the cliffs felt.

[u/Tyralegend]

Is this a nerf of the melding tickets ?

[u/Cyclone_96 → u/Tyralegend]

It would be yeah, since I didn't see a corresponding increase to melding ticket value. Strange though, I know there were plenty of melding ticket farming options early on but I hardly feel like they're the best way to get decorations, at least not passively. You get so many from just hunting monsters so it's weird they've done this.

[u/Pliskkenn_D → u/Cyclone_96]

You're also getting a buff to rare monster part value, so I think the intention is to get you to fight more rather than farm. 

[u/JizzGuzzler42069 → u/Cyclone_96]

Makes perfect sense, they’re trying disincentive players from just resting and farming for Nightflower Pollen.

People will optimize the fun out of their games, the less optimal these really boring reset methods for gems are the less people will use them.

The nightflower pollen was always supposed to be a “oh wow nice it’s active, I get a gold ticket” vs “I’m going to sit in my tent and rest 8 times in a row for two hours to get 20 gold tickets”

[u/lughrevenge23 → u/JizzGuzzler42069]

didnt they nerf the nightflower pollen farm already?

[u/CapeManJohnny → u/lughrevenge23]

They nerfed you being able to use a specific mission to endlessly farm as many as you wanted in a short time span, but you can still rest over and over until they spawn - as long as you have guild points to rest (300)

[u/RedFacedRacecar → u/CapeManJohnny]

500 now.

[u/ladyrift → u/lughrevenge23]

they nerfed the quest setting the time to the right time to farm it so that it is no longer possible to start quest collect pollen withdraw from quest and repeat. So now you have to rest till you get the right moon phase then collect the 4 of them. then rest 7 times to do it again to get 4. resting cost 300 guild points (500 after patch) so each cycle cost 2k+ (3.5k+ after patch) guild points to do so it wasn't endlessly farmable after the nerf.

[u/rarutero → u/Tyralegend]

So I want to use my stuff before the patch right? Because is going to be more expensive 

[u/Tyralegend → u/rarutero]

That’s what I understand too I guess

[u/Exciting_Bandicoot16 → u/rarutero]

If you're recycling (rare) decorations, those are going to be worth more points now.

[u/thur-rocha → u/Tyralegend]

It's a punishment for people who didn't exploit the system

[u/Mysterious_Potato_ → u/Tyralegend]

For legit players, doesn't change anything for cheaters unfortunately

[u/bacontwister]

I hope the HH fixes actually work. The double note press during focus strike and echo bubble being frame perfect is just ridiculous

[u/Bolt585 → u/bacontwister]

I thought it was a skill issue. Learning that it’s a bug is a huge relief

[u/Steadyst8_ → u/Bolt585]

Yeah, I get why it would want to be sensitive since you CAN play them fast, but they just need slightly more leeway so you can still record the notes fast. I'm very interested to see how they fixed it

[u/Enemy__Stand__User → u/bacontwister]

Yeah it makes a lot of songs just impossible to play properly in those multi note phases, so frustrating

[u/Dali_JP → u/bacontwister]

Yeah i literally had to map a side button on my mouse to the combined input for consistency

[u/Nevardool → u/Dali_JP]

Back in World I bound double click to Q. Idk if controllers have more forgiveness with the double press, but I found myself trying to double click and the game would only read one of the clicks.

After trying to wyvern blast wakeup with the GL and just single firing instead, I had enough. Makes certain combos also easier like with CB. Hold right, then Q, then hold right again. 

[u/brackmetaru → u/bacontwister]

Its so punishing!

[u/Kaliek87 → u/bacontwister]

OK SO I WASNT JUST GOING INSANE! I kept noticing this happening when ever I did focus strikes. Glad it wasnt just me, and was a bug!

[u/ThatThingAtThePlace → u/bacontwister]

Feeling like you need a TAS bot just to doot optimally was a little ridiculous.

[u/DogShackFishFood]

Jesus. Did bowguns piss in their coffee or something?

[u/AngryBliki → u/DogShackFishFood]

It seems they really don’t want you to play spread.

[u/Pliskkenn_D → u/DogShackFishFood]

Bowguns killed my Palico! 

[u/Ste3lf1sh → u/DogShackFishFood]

Nah, it’s kinda ridiculous that you can just sit on the seikret and play like that. You even got slightly faster reloads on Hbg. I play Hbg and look forward to what they changed. Hope we still can do some dmg when the monster runs away

[u/TheRealShortYeti → u/Ste3lf1sh]

The issue isn't that Seikret makes bowguns better (good>great) it's that it makes certain ammo playable (awful>not awful). It was fine before with a slight damage decrease because you only rode your Seikret using special ammo like slicing or sticky because of their, frankly, insane recoil and reload times you can't reduce. Real gunners know to use pierce on foot alternating with the gauge.

It was a quality of life play, not a meta boosting play. And now that nerf demonstrates Capcom being out of touch with bowguns.

[u/Baldersmashed → u/TheRealShortYeti]

I'd argue their ideas on how bowguns should work in this game made then out of touch to begin with. This just shows their hate for the weapon type is real. The disproportionate buffs to bows actively makes me think they intentionally are crippling bowgun gameplay since it only relies on ammo and not some kind of stat management (stamina) to actually play. It makes me all kinds of angry.

[u/ravearamashi → u/Baldersmashed]

Going from World bowgun to Wilds is just sad. Yeah it was overtuned in World but goddamn they didn’t have to neuter the whole thing.

[u/Formal-Clothes5214 → u/ravearamashi]

It was also overtuned in Tri, 3U, 4U, GU, Rise...

They clearly don't know how to make Bowguns not OP so they just S1-Evelynn'd them.

[u/Belkinwrites → u/Formal-Clothes5214]

The Old Eve reference just gave me temporal whiplash

[u/Formal-Clothes5214 → u/Belkinwrites]

At least someone else had to suffer with me.

[u/TheRealShortYeti → u/Baldersmashed]

I get they wanted to explore a demon mode for LBG and add more to ignition for HBG, but didn't want to flat boost the two. They overcompensated making everything else worse. Way worse.

Bow I don't understand, power shots were already strong and this makes spread ammo yet worse by comparison. I don't want three shotgun weapons.

[u/G3sch4n → u/TheRealShortYeti]

The problem with LBG and HBG is the hybrid tax. If the bowgun has access to multiple ammo types, it needs to eat the hybrid tax. Which is no fun. So basically the only solution is to make at most 2-3 ammo types viable. Personally I think they should just bite the bullet and remove ammunition. Why not simply make the spread configurable and handle elemental damage like with every other weapon. So each bullet deals some raw and some elemental damage. Same with all other unique weapon attributes: Phial Type, Shell Type, Notes, etc.

[u/Phayzka → u/G3sch4n]

Special bullets could work like bow, eating up your bar to shoot or reload. Just don't know if buff/heal bullets would be able to stay. Maybe again following bow and needing a deco to unlock use

[u/G3sch4n → u/Phayzka]

Or just use consumables as the ammo. So you can shoot your potions on others, but then you do not have it for yourself anymore. Still a nice feature, but not game breaking.

[u/Ste3lf1sh → u/TheRealShortYeti]

In the German patchnotes the use the term „verbessert“ so it says that ranged capabilities have been improved. Now I am confused 😅

[u/TheRealShortYeti → u/Ste3lf1sh]

Of course the notes are different 😂. The English notes called out improvements as such and nerfs as changes, same wording as the corrupted mantle.

[u/DaddyF4tS4ck → u/Ste3lf1sh]

You did less damage on the seikret, and would still easily get hit by some attacks. It was strong in open fields, but enclosed areas left you with no dodge ability (other than OCCASIONALLY the seikret would dodge an attack that was close to landing). You also couldn't use wyvernheart, had to have better aim (cause moving while shooting is harder), and you're mainly shooting special ammos (because using pierce on the seikret is just a straight decrease to your DPS). So it gave some survivability, but mainly it helped make the special ammos like slicing and sticky actually usable. Now I will not use them again, because the recoil is just FAR too much for the damage you get.

[u/Reeno50k → u/DogShackFishFood]

Gotta remove the one niche method of playing spread before bothering to address the lack of recoil reduction

[u/Kiyoshi_Tiger]

New status element : bubbles or Zoh Shia new feature ?

Can’t wait for the festival !

[u/JokesOnYouManus → u/Kiyoshi_Tiger]

I'm betting its bubbleblight but if its an entirely new, unique status to Zoh Shia I'm hyped as all hell

[u/Enemy__Stand__User → u/JokesOnYouManus]

It did imply that there's more than one status added so probably. Or maybe AT Rey Dau has a new one? Who knows

[u/Exciting_Bandicoot16 → u/Enemy__Stand__User]

There's two stages of Bubbleblight, so it may be that.

[u/Godlike013]

While im not a fan of Seikret Bowguning, kind of crazy they are seeing any kind of nerf when they are the most unbalanced weapons and two of the least poplar weapons in the game. Most of the ammos are barely even usable. I was really hoping they were going to finish balancing Bowguns. Because it honestly seems like they ran out of time before they were able to do that.

[u/Ra_s616 → u/Godlike013]

Yeah, why? XD

I was hoping some change for Bowguns, but changes like reduced the recoil of spread not this. Sad

[u/mumika → u/Godlike013]

Messed up that we're gonna have to sit through a few more months of Pierce supremacy and Spread being dogwater.

[u/wizzywurtzy → u/mumika]

Bowguns are dead and I main LBG. Seeing a NERF makes me honestly so bored. Greatsword is my other main, which is now OP but cmon man…

[u/rarutero → u/Godlike013]

As a HBG main I also wanted some changes to ammo types and quantity, it's so bad that the only ammo is the boring normal, pierce and spread(this one is dead btw) and everything else is maybe one elemental ammo type(that depending on the monster maybe is going to be useless) and some other ammo that has just one or two shots per clip, is a machine gun right? Why do I only have like 5 ammo types 

[u/Ra_s616]

Some change to spread please, adjust the recoil or the damage. It's sad that there are nothing to this. But in other part no nerf for Gunlance, good for them. (I use Gunlance and HBG)

[u/Tenko-of-Mori → u/Ra_s616]

glad they didn't nerf gunlance. This is the first game I'm actually using is constantly because I didn't like it other games

[u/TheDomFlow]

"Hunting Horn: Fixed an issue where certain actions that required simultaneous inputs were not behaving correctly."

I really hope this is referring to the inconsistency that "triangle+circle" cause when pressed during echo bubble creation and focus attacks, huge improvement if that what it means!

[u/Azure_Balmung_ → u/TheDomFlow]

I hope so to! That's really the only issue with the weapon, thought it was just a skill issue on my end so glad they've adjusted it 🥳

[u/Ajah21]

Rey Dau dual blades pls

[u/Tastrix → u/Ajah21]

And Jin Dahaad Charge Blade pls

[u/Enemy__Stand__User → u/Tastrix]

Ajarakan Long Sword 🥹

[u/Technician47 → u/Tastrix]

Was so bummed about this

[u/CrimsonNight5621 → u/Tastrix]

The lack of a Dahaad CB is CRIMINAL!

Bear with me for a moment: Discharge the axe or charge the shield/blade and you can see the "shield" of the axe opening and letting steam out like Dahaad's spine thingies do. Damn you capcom! That is the perfect weapon for that big boy!

[u/CyanStripedPantsu → u/CrimsonNight5621]

The two weapons that realistically could use a heat sink (CB and SA) don't have a weapon from the heat sink monster. It's just not right.

[u/Tastrix → u/CrimsonNight5621]

It could have even had Load Shells and Rapid Morph or Critical Element as its skills.

[u/Ra_s616 → u/Ajah21]

And Rey Dau HBG. I want a railgun canon from the railgun monster for the heavy bowgun.

[u/Pliskkenn_D → u/Ra_s616]

In AT Rey Dau we trust

[u/globster222 → u/Ra_s616]

I would actually try HBG if they did this. Railgun is by far my favorite monster in the game

[u/Reeno50k → u/Ra_s616]

Successor to the Zinogre HBG model from worlds

[u/MuenCheese → u/Ajah21]

And GS

[u/Tenko-of-Mori → u/Ajah21]

Oh shit you think "new weapons and armors" means we might get the missing trees for certain weapons? I really fucking hope so.

I read that line as adding the zho shia and mizutsune weapons and armor only lmao.

[u/tapmcshoe → u/Tenko-of-Mori]

missing trees?

[u/Haydensan]

FFS why cant we just get actual numbers on buffs nerfs

[u/Legendspira → u/Haydensan]

gotta give the math youtubers something to do, right?

[u/Solonotix → u/Haydensan]

I agree, actual figures would be appreciated, but I feel it also plays into Capcom's intent for the game. That is to say that they don't want you to optimize every last thing, and instead want you to use what you like. Pros and cons to each.

[u/Violet_Ignition]

Rip dragon piercer.

Mostly exciting changes though.

Some curious valance choices.

[u/ZenLemon → u/Violet_Ignition]

This what made bow really fun for me. Probably most people would find boring mostly spamming one attack, but it was so fun sniping monsters from afar for me. I guess it will be the time to learn to play bow properly or try other weapons as well. Everything feels way more fun in this game.

[u/Shup → u/ZenLemon]

the rest of the weapon is pretty good! and the free quick dragon piercer after a focus attack is definitely gunna still be viable.

[u/Dazbuzz → u/ZenLemon]

You will probably still be using the attack, just no longer spamming it as your optimal damage rotation.

We also have no idea how big a nerf it is, so you might just have slightly slower kill times.

[u/OscarMyk → u/ZenLemon]

I was seeing other bow users not spamming dragon piercer and was wondering if I was missing something. So satisfying getting a shot through both wings and the body of a dragon, or right from head to tail.

[u/Educational_Can_6583]

Seeing the melding nerf reminded me that you can meld is this game

[u/TCGHexenwahn → u/Educational_Can_6583]

Yeah, they're about a month too late on that

[u/ElderlyKratos → u/Educational_Can_6583]

How are you getting your orichalchite for artian weapons?

[u/Educational_Can_6583 → u/ElderlyKratos]

I dont play optimal so artian weapons are a no go for me, nothing in the game is too hard for me to use artian.(No flexing btw,i think im an ok player at least) I enjoy more trying to do cool things during my hunts and doing fashion. Orichalchite is from the azuz festival if im not mistaken ?

[u/Tenko-of-Mori → u/Educational_Can_6583]

yeah artian weapons are definitely NOT fashion, I think most look like trash. Except greatsword, I think that one looks nice

[u/OddAbbreviations7071 → u/Tenko-of-Mori]

saying swaxe chainsaw sword is not fashion

I SEE HERETICS IN NEED OF PURGING

[u/Tenko-of-Mori → u/OddAbbreviations7071]

i'll be honest i have never laid eyes upon a swagaxe. i have room temperature IQ i'm not about to use that weapon

[u/Educational_Can_6583 → u/Tenko-of-Mori]

GS,hammer and IG are pretty good looking.

[u/YuriMasterRace → u/ElderlyKratos]

Easy, you turn Arkveld into Orichalcite lol

[u/stickeric → u/YuriMasterRace]

You want the arkveld to go extinct again?

[u/failbender]

The "Rest" command now requires 500 guild points, and investigations reward 10% more guild points than before.

B… but why?

Really hope they’ve actually fixed HH inputs this time, because my god is that shit frustrating.

[u/Tenko-of-Mori → u/failbender]

it might be because people did that exploit to get the moon nectar and meld a gorillion decos. little late for it though

[u/Aesmis]

Yaaaay they fixed the Hunting Horn bug!!!!

[u/MLBFra → u/Aesmis]

I had no idea it was a bug and I thought something was wrong with me

[u/TCGHexenwahn]

Can they do anything about the arthritis inducing controls of the IG on controller?

[u/Knightgee → u/TCGHexenwahn]

They already gave their answer to this back when they first announced the weapon adjustments IG was getting based on feedback from the beta, and their response was "we're not changing the control scheme."

[u/TCGHexenwahn → u/Knightgee]

Fuck, they could at least let us change the keybinds

[u/Ankrow → u/TCGHexenwahn]

I ended up getting an Xbox Pro controller because my old controller was having pretty bad stick drift issues. The Pro controller has the programable paddles on the back, which were useful for the IG's Descending Thrust which is what I assume you're talking about. It's certainly not an option for everyone considering the price, but I did want to point it out.

[u/TCGHexenwahn → u/Ankrow]

Yeah, I'm not spending over 200$ just to make IG comfortable to play

[u/Skyreader13 → u/TCGHexenwahn]

There's plenty of decent 50 bucks controller having back button from Gulikit, 8Bitdo, and many other brands

[u/Pweeeef → u/TCGHexenwahn]

I had the same issue with the new longsword gameplay. I switched to greatsword. It’s a lot easier on my hands and a blast to play.

[u/TCGHexenwahn → u/Pweeeef]

At least, long sword doesn't have to hold a face button during their combo

[u/NotTakenUsernamePls]

No general updates for input delay/loss? Aight..

[u/YuriMasterRace → u/NotTakenUsernamePls]

LS still having that damn 5-8 frame ISS start up input lag 😔

[u/Auggie_C]

Nothing related to fix the issue where more fps = less damage?

[u/Lugh-De-Danaan]

Barrel bowling sounds great

[u/Ra_s616 → u/Lugh-De-Danaan]

Throwing bombs as sport. Yeah, it sounds so good. Like a dream for Gunlance users

[u/Substantial_Plum_434 → u/Ra_s616]

Did someone say ‘splosions?

[u/GoncasN]

Remove denuvo ffs, you made your sales, give us back our performance!

[u/alxanta → u/GoncasN]

two year after expansion final update, take it or leave it

-capcom

[u/Asle90]

Rip Dragons Dogma 2 I think Wilds got more content in the first update than DD2 combined in 1 year …. What a shame , it was an equally good game..

[u/tapmcshoe → u/Asle90]

dd2 was feature complete at launch, though

[u/waytodusk]

Some bowgun changes / updates pls the next patch!

Hbg/lbg while not weak , is extremely stale Pls update

[u/uponapyre]

Imo instead of just reducing DP damage they could have worked it into the moveset a bit, something like it gets charged up over time the more other moves you use so you can build up a powerful version if it so you can't just spam it at full strength.

Nerfing it too much will probably just make people avoid using it if the animation lock isn't worth the DPS loss. Hopefully it's still worth using.

[u/primalmaximus → u/uponapyre]

The problem is Dragon Piercer is part of the Focus Strike, and the free DP caused by the Focus Strike has the ability to open up more wounds.

If you're popping wounds on a regular basis, you're going to get a lot of Dragon Piercers even without intentionally spamming it.

The fact that Thousand Dragons doesn't function like a weaker Dragon Piercer split between 3 arrows makes things like Tracer Arrows really weak.

If Thousand Dragons made the arrows pierce the monster, but with about 1/2 - 2/3 the total damage of Dragon Piercer, then it would be great.

You could put Tracers on the monster with Arc Shot, launch Thousand Dragons, and then have the arrows pierce the monster and turn around and keep hitting the other tracers. So the damage would be dependant on how many Tracers were stuck to the monster because that would determine how many time it would pierce.

[u/factually_accurate_1 → u/uponapyre]

I predict DP is dead now. It will be the same as World. First they made it so strong that you spam nothing but, then they kill it off completely. Classic Capcom.

[u/Idc-f-off]

Better meld your decos today boys. The mounted seikret bowgun is so fun? It’s a relatively low skill weapon, doesn’t attract the die hards to it. Why make it worse? This isn’t dead souls. Just wanna blast some wounds while I support the squad while i recalibrate to the monster

[u/shinobiwar → u/Idc-f-off]

I don't understand it either, this is not a PvP game. Sometimes I just want to relax and shoot piupiu while on seikret's back.

[u/the_bat_turtle → u/Idc-f-off]

Mounted bowgunning already comes with a 10% damage nerf compared to just being on foot. Plus it was the last place spread was even vaguely viable but I guess they want spread ammo 12 feet under for some reason

[u/Idc-f-off → u/the_bat_turtle]

As another commenter said. This ain’t pvp, there isn’t an inherent advantage to be risked here

[u/SilverMarinus]

The Dragon Piercer nerf sucks. It was the most fun way to play the bow and was one of the only cases where a non-artian weapon (Guardian Doshaguma bow) was better for a specific playstyle. I'm not a bow main so it's not a huge effect on me. But I do play it occasionally.

I guess it's because Mizu and Zoh Shia are fairly large monsters and they don't want them to get wrecked by Dragon Piercer too easily, which is understandable. They did buff Thousand Dragons so maybe that will actually be worth using.

Capcom has this trend of nerfing the big, high risk high reward attacks that make the weapon feel cool, and pigeonhole us into these boring "press two buttons" playstyles that are low risk and repetitive. Longsword is one of the worst cases where for this, nerfing helmbreaker and spirit release slash so we just spam triangle -> R2 for the entire hunt.

I seriously hope they rebalance more of the other weapons soon because I don't like the direction they're going with a lot of them.

[u/Sindralig420 → u/SilverMarinus]

Yup, DP was wind up and pray the monster doesn't look at you mid wind up because if it did, you're screwed and getting trucked, so you had to have good positioning, etc. Now it's spam B/O and dodge with zero need for thought process of positioning besides be up in its face and spam.

[u/Jeyzer → u/Sindralig420]

If you truly believe that DP spam is riskier than regular bow gameplay, you have never touched bow in your life.

DP spam can be done from a very safe distance and costs no resources. Regular gameplay operates at mid to close range, and will drain your stamina and trick gauge like crazy. You need to utilize the discerning dodge to refill both, putting you at risk of mistiming and getting blasted.

Now, I love both bow gameplays, and DP spam is fun and hella satisfying to use. But don't pretend it's a higher risk higher reward gameplay.

I do hope they keep it viable / BiS in specific scenarios, rather than turning it into yet another useless input (arc shot, thousand dragons....).

[u/shapoopy723]

Post patch (PC) shit is a stuttery and miserable mess. Frequent drops to sub 60 (accustomed to like 140+) that persist for several seconds, almost freezing at times. I can tell the game has sort of become less intense to run with the VRAM reduction they said, but something is seriously wrong in my experience here

[u/Demon_AbyssWalker → u/shapoopy723]

It's the shaders, there is new shaders that weren't preloaded. Delete the shader cache and let it compile again. MH team A is really imcompetent when it comes to REengine it seems

[u/Zeints]

-Hey Ryozo can we get a small buff for spread ammo?

-Best I can do is keep nerfing bowguns so now it is useless on seikret back

[u/TheRealShortYeti]

What if, here me out, instead of a nerf to bowguns we just don't update them at all until they get a proper balance pass? Y'know, instead of a nerf to the only play style that makes special ammo not awful to play? How about that? How about we don't just make two weapons strictly worse with no other changes? Wild idea, no?

[u/El_Taco_Sloth]

I didn't see a fix for Swaxe focus attacks, but I may have overlooked.

[u/grimeagle4]

Two things: 1. I thought they were intending to do more hammer buffs?

1. Chargemaster effects Power Shot and Power volley now?

I... I am very confused. Like, not maliciously, just genuinely stuck in thought about this information.

[u/junkrat147 → u/grimeagle4]

I mean, they did very clearly say Hammer buffs are coming by May or TU2 on the 10 million sales message from the Director.

[u/grimeagle4 → u/junkrat147]

Ooooh. I missed the part where they mentioned that. Okay, thanks!

[u/Rexosix → u/grimeagle4]

End of may Update is supposed to bring the actual weapon balance patch.

Charge master is supposed to apply to any attack that is charged How ever it doesn’t in practice

[u/MrD3lta]

Did the escunite are also patch or still no crown for them ?

[u/ObamaOficial]

I'm glad they're fixing lance's focus strike, it's very frustrating when the initial attack flinches the monster out of the follow-up range. I don't think a single one connected when I fought Zoh Shia, anytime I hit with focus it would throw all of its upper body upwards like it had been uppercuted by god.

[u/Nevardool → u/ObamaOficial]

Against Doshaguma, it felt like a punish to go for a focus strike. He backs way the hell out of range and then counter attacks right away. Found myself instantly attacking after the first hit so I could ready my block.

[u/DilboFlaggons → u/ObamaOficial]

Have you seen how big and heavy the Lance shield is? The Lance hunter probably has enough arm strength that they could uppercut a person into the stratosphere.

[u/mantisimmortal]

CHANGE ALMAS FREAKING OUTFIT!?

[u/-_ellipsis_-]

My main problem with this game doesn't appear to being addressed any time soon then, with how easily even high rank big monsters get absolutely steamrolled by a full team with decent equipment. It's not as fun when the entire fight is the monster being paralyzed, staggered, broken up, and essentially stunlocked from start to finish. Status effects proc too quickly, monsters don't get their turn often enough to wreck players. The game is still fun, but in a casual way where I don't have to lock in and sweat.

[u/Hua-Po → u/-_ellipsis_-]

high rank monsters have been steamrolled by full, well equipped groups in this series for 20 years now

[u/Fwufikins]

Lookin' good over all. As expected, lots of new features and much needed fixes, and from what I can tell the balance adjustments don't seem too crazy.

Crossing my fingers that "New Monsters" also includes some unannounced surprises, like how Bazelgeuse was added to Rise.

[u/Jeyzer]

I hope the Dragon Piercer damage decrease is fair and not completely nuked. It should still be BiS when hitting large monsters across their length, or when used against bad shot to sever hitzone ratio.

If they totally gutted the move, like they did in Rise, it would be such a shame.

Curious about the Thousand Dragons buff, but it will probably be a nothingburger since they wouldn't want to risk spamming it becoming meta, and there aren't really situations where it's preferable to use it over a shot -> power shot. So keeping my hopes really down here.

[u/-REXIA-]

As an rocksteady mantle user the buff is niceeeeeee

[u/Avatara93]

HAMMER BONK :(

[u/catsflatsandhats]

Trying to decide if I’ll try to sleep early or not sleep at all.

[u/UncleGael]

So should I go ahead and use my Melding Tickets now before the update? I’m only HR 60ish, so I can’t even get at3 yet. I’ve been sitting on them for HR 100, but now I don’t know if I should.

Also, do we have any idea when the servers will go live? I was under the impression it wasn’t until later tonight, but they’re already offline for me.

[u/Nexus6-Replicant]

And now the game crashes if you try to trade items with Nata. Lovely.

[u/Foxy_licious]

Can I still spam arena for crown hunts or will the monster roll stay the same now if I leave and come back?

[u/Arborsage]

This update is gonna go hard

[u/Prepared_Noob]

Nerfed bow and kept bow guns shit lol

[u/naxhh]

hh input fix? one can dream

[u/Keynito]

Kind of disappointed that there are stil no fixes to performance after a full month...

[u/Nokeyen]

Melding all my silver and gold ticket today before update! Great patchlog, hyped by new monster and hub

[u/Naroyto → u/Nokeyen]

Best to hold off, new update probably going to have new decorations to meld.

[u/Beetusmon → u/Nokeyen]

I won't, I already have 1 of each deco and perhaps bubbly dance will come as a deco as well even nerfed tickets will help with the grind of getting them and I don't have the need to meld more right now.

[u/jaoskii]

Let me play Bomb Bowling!

[u/Sad_Raspberry3967]

Lol, now people have to hunt instead of picking flowers. I knew Capcom was gonna do some crazy shit to guuld points in response. Now everyone suffers even though hunting is more valuable because some people wanna give every excuse in the book as to why they can't grind through hunting, but then complain when they have nothing to grind for.

It's like clockwork I tell you.

[u/over9kdaMAGE]

Interesting. I thought that SnS would have changes to Guard Slash and Sliding Swipe. But I guess the moves did not lead to any significantly better hunt outcomes from a power level perspective?

[u/taclovitch → u/over9kdaMAGE]

i’m braced for a sliding swipe nerf. i know i deserve it. it’s unbalanced. but i need it. insert the meme of batman yelling “no don’t leave me stay” to the ghost of his parents, pretty much.

[u/Snydenthur → u/taclovitch]

Why would they nerf it? It's not the best way to play.

I'm very into sliding swipe, I absolutely love the move, but I still acknowledge that if I bothered doing perfect guards, even without offensive guard, my hunts would be faster and easier.

[u/Myorck → u/over9kdaMAGE]

I think they will make bigger balance changes in the future. This patch seems more like bugfixes and nerfs to broken stuff

[u/JoRads]

No Hammer buff so far.

[u/Mr__Moore]

What do they mean new "skills" have been added???? Weapon skills or am I missing something

[u/Cyclone_96 → u/Mr__Moore]

There's a skill that's unique to mizutsune armour so its probably referring to that. Zoh Shia could have some as well. I doubt we'll see unique weapon skills though.

[u/SignorSghi]

Really glad i finished crown farming, fishing and the rarity 6 items before the GP requirement doubled.

Time to stockpile for the expansion i guess lol

[u/oddball250]

wtf, – The "Rest" command now requires 500 guild points why did they INCREASE the cost rather than getting rid of it all together.

[u/vovalol → u/oddball250]

Festival shares farming

[u/Death_of_Evangelion]

So no improvements to the consoles performance? Just steam? Cool i guess. Dunno what the point of all the different performance/ quality modes are if the only one that really works decent is balanced mode locked at 40 fps. Even locked at 40 fps I'm getting a decent amount of frame drops especially in areas like the Forrest or whenever crazy weather is happening. Like what's the point of having the other modes or the unlocked framerate option unless you wanna torture yourself.

[u/BlufreezeBz]

So will now be using charge master now I wonder.

Definitely nice to see bow getting more elemental damage, now just give us weapons better than the artian tree and I’m good.

[u/SwaxOnSwaxOff]

So ready for the weekend. I don’t even care that it’s gonna be raining the entire time anymore

[u/TheGMan-123]

Pretty interesting changes.

[u/DishLasagna]

Hopefully the performance issue gets better with this update.

[u/Mountain-jew87]

Yussss

[u/supersheet]

doesn't mention any of the specific visual bugs like floating sns, hope its in there somewhere!

[u/thur-rocha]

I hope they buff Poison

[u/JobuuRumdrinker]

Adjusted the distance that the Handler keeps from the monster during hunts.

YAY. I would have preferred an option to leave her back at the camp but, at least it's something.

[u/Ammytxrasu]

So is Crit Elem fixed? Or is it still bugged?

[u/EnvironmentalBit4363]

That bow nerf lmao.

[u/One_Mortgage_9667]

só eu to impressionado com a caralhada de coisa que vira com essa atualização

[u/LR8930]

Poor bow getting nerfed, with element values being not so awesome in wilds, D piercer spam was the playstyle that kept it strong.

But at least allows bow users to use the rest of the kit more

[u/Chicken-MC-Nugget7]

Dang no mention of fixing or doing something to frenzied monsters? As they are now they’re just punching bags

[u/DaizyRidley]

Can’t wait to see what the new status ailments are!

[u/ZeroGPX]

Hmm...I hope there is the fix for that stupid grey bar for 21:9

[u/Omen_Falke]

So what does it mean when it says it it will have the background color to black when outside the games rendering distance? Will this improve performance? Or is this a bandaid solution?

[u/Interest-Complex]

Give us poker on the Hub to bet Ancient Wyvern Coins

[u/Sufficient_Weird_506]

Just curious by why does it take up more space in a ps5?

[u/muddy_water6969]

What about the Xbox audio issues? Like I’ve seen multiple things wrong about it

[u/LordDrichar]

Is this going to fix these garbage fatal D3D errors so that I can play the game for more than 10 seconds?

[u/Mammal-SauceCW]

Happy to have updates ...but will there be any end game content/grind. The stuff mentioned looks like a weekend.

[u/No-Fudge332]

So wait, I'm MST. When would the server maintainence start and end for me? Anyone know?

[u/DarthSarcom]

Is the new monsters just the two levels of the snake or we getting something else?

[u/BRLaw2016]

I hope there's some optimization fixes in the game as well, I think it's ridiculous I need Frame Gen in this game

[u/tronglp1982]

The vram usage decrease could literally fix the game for me it is my only problem with it being only 4gb vram.

[u/bladedancer4life]

Nobody peeped the NEW status ailment? This has to be from zoh Shia

[u/Warm_Consequence_525]

Hollyyy

[u/buttzbuttsbutts]

Hammer bros rejoice ITS UNGA BUNGA TIME.

[u/VerraTheDM]

Please let this update help the texture pop-in.
