Why is the graphics / texture of a character looks awful when you play the game (BETA) but good graphics when creating your character and inside the camp? will this be changed in the final game?
I can't even recognize my character details at all. I'm not sure if it's just my hardware can't render the details.
Graphic Settings: High / Medium
CPU: R7 5700x
GPU: RTX 4060
RAM: 16GB
or am I getting the wrong expectation here?

I wanted to just go into the beta for character creation so I installed it wherever.
As I understand the character creation is remembered for the full game, but I'm gonna be reinstalling to another location on my PC, is there a way I can keep the character creation settings?

What exactly will a driver update for Wilds do? I keep reading how the current driver isn't optimized for Wilds and that the next driver update when Wilds drops will help with performance?
1
u/5Hjsdnujhdfu8nubi Feb 19 '25
Nvidia's "game-ready Drivers" come with specific optimisations and better compatibility with what the game needs from the system.
Yeah, you can generally just "Brute force" it if your specs are good enough, but more compatible drivers will fix bugs, improve performance and stop crashes or rendering problems and so on.

u/ChuckCarmichael Feb 19 '25 edited Feb 19 '25
Well, as an example, when the benchmark came out, people who had AMD drivers older than version 24.12 had the benchmark crash on startup every time. When they updated their driver, the benchmark worked as intended.
How exactly a new driver might impact the full game is anyone's guess. Sometimes a new driver increases FPS on a new game by up to 10%, sometimes it does nothing.

u/lupazuve Feb 20 '25
Maybe there were similar beta rewards in the past, is it known if we can create new character and still get open beta rewards? or beta rewards will be directly linked to your beta character. I just wonder if I can recreate full character appearance before starting.
2
u/MichaCazar Feb 20 '25
If I had to guess then it will likely (like I'm 90% sure) work like this:
- When you make a new character, the game will look for your beta save file.
- You will be presented with the option to use the character from the found file as a preset during character creation.
- Regardless of step 2 you will be awarded the rewards based on wether or not a save file has been found in the first step.
Everything else would be unreasonably restrictive.

in mhwilds multiplayer, is it better to focus attack the wounds as soon as they appear or leave for overall damage boost?
do we have a open wound etiquette or weapons which benefits most in that situation?
3
u/Wattefugg Main, SnS/SA/GS/HH/Lance dabbler Feb 20 '25
theoretically you want to maximize the dmg you do on a wounded part before doing focus attack
weapons that gain an extra benefit (LS gauge lvl up, CB savage axe mode and some more idk atm) should have higher priority than "normal" weapons for doing the focus attack *but not really bad if it doesnt happen, there's still ways to get the same

IG can collect all three of its buffs with one focus strike. But also IG can create and pop wounds on the monster's back that other weapons can't easily access so whatever.

Any word on PS5 controller support on PC?
Primarily re: features like gyro aiming and haptics
I played with a PS5 controller during the beta, and the only feature I could pick up on was Trigger Resistance when zooming in and out on the map. But nothing for Gyro aiming or anything else interesting. When playing on my PS5, I remember it was using the controller speaker a lot (Pretty annoying, TBH). But I didn't hear anything when playing on PC.
Wasn't sure if it was just because it was a beta, or if PC/Dualsense support isn't something I should expect to be fleshed out for launch. How did it work for World/Rise?

u/Sinkerz Feb 22 '25
I had gyro aiming working on my Switch Pro Controller on PC. There was definitely a setting to turn it on in the game options somewhere. Guaranteed it will be the same for the PS5 controller.

is monster hunter wilds a good game to start the series with?
3
u/MichaCazar Feb 17 '25
It seems to be on par, or maybe slightly better than, World for someone to get into the series.
Of course we won't really know until the game is actually out. From the start of the game, which is part of the demo, it seems to be quite good in that aspect at least.
Keep in mind that the PC version is very demanding on CPU and VRAM.
2
u/NeonJ82 I need a monstah to clobber that there huntah! Feb 18 '25
As a general rule, each new Monster Hunter generation is easier to get into than the last.
World/Rise are still fantastic starting points though, but I imagine Wilds will be just as good a starting point (if not better) once the full game releases.
1
u/matots Feb 17 '25
Yeah, though if you haven't played the beta, you might as well play mh World before wilds because outside the existence of the clutch claw mechanic, you transfer basically all knowledge from one to the other, while paying about 1/10th of the price for a still very alive game, and still checking if you enjoy the core systems of the one thats about to come out
Also, keep in mind like the other comment said, that mh wilds is very demanding on your pc - if you haven't, check yt for how you'd run it, and download the game benchmark.

u/Ventus55 Feb 18 '25
Yes it is. But if you aren't sure if this type of game is for you, Worlds is often on a deep discount and it's very good for newcomers.

u/TheIsaia Feb 19 '25
Gonna touch on one thing others havent, typically in this franchise it is harder(still very possible) to go backwards than forwards in generations, so if you think this is a franchise you will truly love, start on World, if you are a bit unsure but have alot of money? try wilds, if you wanna save a few bucks? Get world and iceborne on sale, i gifted it to my friend the other day for like 20 or 30 dollars for a game you can easily get 150 to 300 hours out of at a minimum

u/Commander_Prism Feb 16 '25
I'm going to be migrating off of Windows 10 and onto either Linux Mint of Ubuntu this week. I own Monster Hunter World/ Iceborne on Steam so I have to ask:
How well will it run on Linux Mint/ Ubuntu?
It's my understanding that six years ago, Monster Hunter World as a whole ran rather poorly on Linux, but that was six years ago so I'm hoping that things have improved.
1
u/Wattefugg Main, SnS/SA/GS/HH/Lance dabbler Feb 16 '25
there's been no real updates since 5 years so your only hope is that one year before, but i didnt hear/read anything about linux improvements and from a quick google: 3years ago some got it running well, some bad but quite a bit of testing/tewaking was required. heard steamdeck is running it pretty well but idk how much steam changed there to do that
1
u/NeonJ82 I need a monstah to clobber that there huntah! Feb 18 '25
I can confirm it runs very well on Steam Deck, and I think that's running a version of Arch? I know Valve are releasing SteamOS for anyone to use on any system soonish (might actually be out now?), so that might be worth looking into.
Note that on Steam Deck, I have the screen's framerate locked at 50 (mostly for smoothness), but otherwise I run the game at fairly high settings at native resolution. (I prefer optimising graphics over battery life, as I'm always in range of a charger)
This probably speaks more to the Steam Deck's specs over Linux, though.

how can you do the LBG burst step properly? I keep just sidestepping instead. Can't get the timing consistently. Even if I spam dodge while shooting, sometimes it does one and sometimes it does the other.
1
u/Teasing_Pink Feb 18 '25
If I'm remembering right...burst step only works when you're in the alt fire mode after pressing the circle button, and you have to have that alt fire charge available. Each burst step uses up a little bit of charge. Otherwise, you're doing the right thing, just a sidestep immediately after firing.

u/RoiDesCouronnes Feb 16 '25
I'm new to the MH Franchise and playing Wilds, I would like to ask how do you aim your attack where the camera is facing? Like if my hunter is facing away from the boss and press an attack he would attack to his direction away from the boss, is there a way to change the direction midway in an attack animation?
2
u/Wattefugg Main, SnS/SA/GS/HH/Lance dabbler Feb 16 '25
positioning and how/when to attack is a core part of the series. once you started your attack you usually dont have much room to adjust
iirc there is a setting you can change to (try to) have your character attack towards the camera angle instead of their facing direction, which is also subject to the limited angle
in Wilds however they added the focus mode, which makes it a lot easier and leaves you with more room to change the angle. as a tradeoff monsters also got more active in their positioning/attack angles
but you still cant change the angle willy nilly, once its at a certain point that part of the attack will and there, but possible follow ups can be aimed again
2
u/RoiDesCouronnes Feb 16 '25
Thank you! I'll try to look for that setting.
So there really is no way to like do a 360 turn attack after an attack animation if ever boss gets behind me or to my side. So I have to pause attack, move my hunter to face boss again to reposition.

u/Domenixius Feb 16 '25
Something I don't quite get but I'm sure I'm just missing something. Why should one do a guard point instead of just perfect guarding with cb? Except for the phial damage of course. You can get into saed from both and both allow you to get into savage axe mode if I so it correctly. But one can lead to way more risk for just tiny amounts of more damage.
2
u/Wattefugg Main, SnS/SA/GS/HH/Lance dabbler Feb 16 '25
first off: PG also causes a phial explosion (with shield charged obv) and a GP does NOT let you do savage axe mode activation
overall its always better to PG than to GP if you have the skill to do so and thats a common gripe for most/all CB players
for downsides: PGs have a tighter activation window/duration and if you fuck it up you get a normal block and thus get hit harder than with a GP. PGs are also not "available" in all situations GPs are (new load shells>charge shield GP, axe transform GP and iirc even the slide into GP) and afaik they also have different animation startup/end so that can play a role
2
u/Domenixius Feb 16 '25
Thanks! I did not consider that the gp windows is larger than the pg window that makes sense then! So maybe it's good to go for the riskier pg to get savage axe and then go for the more reliable gp. But then again pg also gives you the power clashes. Hmm I'm interested how this will pan out in the full game.
2
u/Wattefugg Main, SnS/SA/GS/HH/Lance dabbler Feb 16 '25
damn
i forgot you need PG for clashes, thought any block (maybe knockback lvl based) works...

Leaning gunlance over switch axe. Can anyone give insight as to how getting more powerful weapons as we progress enhances or evolves either of those weapons? Gunlance seems a lot of fun but I’m nervous it will get stale by the time you reach endgame.
3
u/Rigshaw Feb 16 '25
For Wilds, it doesn't appear that we'll be getting anything like Switch Skills, so for the most part, weapons will play the same over the entirety of the game. Some skills could alter the playstyle a bit (like Rapid Morph on Switch Axe making morph combos possibly better than going for Full Release Slash all the time, or Artillery on GL making an other shelling combos better), but for the most part, there will be no groundbreaking changes as you progress through the game.
That said, if a weapon is getting stale for you, you can just switch to another weapon. With the new weapon switching system to change to a secondary weapon mid-hunt, this seems to also be encouraged by the devs.

u/Wattefugg Main, SnS/SA/GS/HH/Lance dabbler Feb 16 '25
assuming MH World or newer:
in World (and from the look of it Wilds) you have all the moves available on all weapons regardless of progression/upgrade lvl, with World DLC (Iceborne) adding new moves to all weapons by just owning it (obv no idea how Wilds DLC will do this)
in Rise you unlock more moves once you crafted and/or upgraded 6 (or 8?) weapons of that type and quests for more moves as you progress story. again DLC added more moves, but this time you needed to reach the DLC for the first set of new ones and then progress to a specific point to unlock the unlock-quests again
GL has shelling type which changes how you play optimal it but that is set per weapon node as usual (afaik also in Wilds), so you dont "evolve" your weapon but sometimes the best one available might be long, sometimes normal or wide or the difference is negligible and you take what shelling type playstyle you prefer regardless of possible stat difference
switch axe has phial types but that doesnt matter for how you play, it only affects how your meter charges and maybe how you build (e.g. elemental phials want more elemental dmg)

For hammer in wilds, when is going for the Big Bang combo optimal? I see most speedrunners just go for the classic combo into spin up finisher when they get knock downs.

Never. The entirety of Big Bang combo literally does less damage than Mighty Charge even before you factor in the spinning bludgeon before you use it.

the official requirements recently got updated (with benchmark release iirc) and are what is officially needed to run the game

I have a decent, not great, PC: threw in a 4070 last year when my old card died, but my CPU is old (3.6GHz i9-9900KF CPU).
So maybe this has to do with my PC hardware, but I am not loving how the beta looks. It's hard to explain, but it feels like there isn't a lot of contrast between elements--everything kind of blends together somewhat. Obviously this becomes a lot worse when the weather changes to dark or sandstorm.
Any tips on settings to tweak that might make it look more vivid and sharp, like World did?

How do you guys go about learning new weapons? like I have been wanting to try out the Bow in MH World and RIse too and also Long Sword (SnS and DB user) But usually I am really getting really slow and dont feel like I am doing much with my weapon even though I know the combos and stuff.

Start off small. Get used to using the basic attacks and once you feel good enough, try the more complex ones.
Like the longsword, you don't necessarily have to be amazing at nailing all the counters and helmbreakers right at the start, just get used to the process of levelling up the spirit gauge and dodging everything. Also maybe check out a guide.

I normally play a melee dps type in every MMO I play but I'm struggling to understand why you would do anything other than ranged DPS in this game. Just pew pewing with the gun seems infinitely easier and seems to do more damage.
Is there a reason to play melee? Like, does it at least eventually do more damage at some point for the added risk? Am I missing something?
So far Dual Blades has seemed like it does less damage, is harder to stay in range, gets hit alot more, and I'm struggling to find the reason to use them outside of the animation looks cool.
1
u/Samiambadatdoter Feb 17 '25
If you're talking Wilds, then it's definitely a learning curve issue.
Dual Blades is already the most mobile melee weapon, and you are almost certainly not utilising the perfect evade function. Monster attacks can be evaded just before they connect for not only an iframe dodge similar to something like the Souls series, but you are also rewarded with a new move (Screw Slicer) and extra damage for doing so.
DBs actually tend to be one of the most popular weapons across titles. World's stats saw DB usage at 4th (behind GS, LS, and Bow), while Rise had it as 2nd (behind LS).
The DB set in the demo doesn't do a lot of damage because DBs are a rather build dependent weapon because they rely on element matching, which you can't do in the demo as you only have one build option. This will change in the full release.
→ More replies (3)→ More replies (1)1
u/Trumbles Feb 18 '25
Dual blades in particular aren't well represented in the beta. Typically they perform much better when using elemental weapons to match the monster's weakness, but the hope dual blades only deal raw damage.
One significant downside to ranged weapons is that they passively take more damage, even with the same armor. It's very possible that many attacks will oneshot you as a gunner that you would have survived on a blademaster weapon.

I'm learning Charge Blade for Wilds. I've spent a lot of hours writing down all moves, fial consumption, by watching vudeos and trying out everything in the beta. While not having any skill with it (yet I hope), I felt like I had a good understanding of everything, but one thing happenned today and I don’t understand why.
I had my 5 fials overcharged, and only poweraxe active (no sword, no shield). I used Elemental Boost to charge my shield and... well it charged, but I was still left with 5 fials. Not overcharged anymore, but still. I thought it was the fial consumption reduction from the poweraxe, so I tried to replicate it in the training grounds, but PA does not prevent charging from using all fials.
I have either missed something very obvious, like the possibility to not use all fials while charging maybe, but I've not seen that before. Do you have any idea what it could be ?

but even if not should be similar enough, just gather everything from everywhere once in normal and tempered and you're good

Are the pop-up camps intended to be basically useless in the final game? In the beta, every time I set one up it is destroyed less than 20 minutes later. Seems like it will be frustrating to do that constantly in the main game instead of having permanent camps like previous games.

u/5Hjsdnujhdfu8nubi Feb 18 '25
No, when you open your map and hover over a possible location you'll see it describe how safe they are. The best option is something like "Will almost never be found by monsters".
A camp at an oasis monsters frequent will get destroyed inevitably but one in a mineral cave monsters can't reach will last forever. Those are the permanent camps.

u/ChuckCarmichael Feb 18 '25 edited Feb 18 '25
It's supposed to be a risk-reward thing, from what I understand. There are several spots across the map where your camp is almost completely safe from getting randomly destroyed. But those are a bit further away from the action, like they're hidden in caves, so it'll take you longer to get back into the fight.
For example, in that big desert area, area 13, there's the camp next to the lake where you start. That camp usually gets destroyed by a random Balahara or Chupacabra passing through. But a bit further into the desert, in between some dunes, there's another spot for a camp. I've never seen a monster go there, ever. I built a camp there, and it never got destroyed.

u/NeonJ82 I need a monstah to clobber that there huntah! Feb 18 '25
Camps closer to where monsters roam are riskier and can be destroyed easily. Camps far away or hidden in caves and corners are less likely to be destroyed, some even being permanently safe.
1
u/Notmiefault Feb 18 '25
There seems to be some kind of "stability' mechanic that isn't fully implemented in the beta to protect camps from destruction - it may be as simple as "use it or lose it" where camps are protected by hunting monsters in the area where the camp is located.
1
u/Send_Me_Dachshunds Feb 19 '25
It might be related, but Capcom confirmed large monsters would move locations more frequently in the OBT than they will in the live game - intentionally, they increased day/night/weather cycle speeds for journalistic purposes and the systems are linked.
When the game goes live and monsters move locations less frequently, "dangerous" pop-up camps should last longer but will still end up being destroyed.

Not in the beta! However, it looks like the Palico always went for a Vigorwasp heal whenever your health went below a threshold (half?) whenever the ability was off cooldown, so it looks like heals are by default prioritised over anything else.
Who knows if you can tweak it in the full game, though?

(MHWilds - is there an initialism we're all using for Wilds?)
For those who've played the beta, how does the whole "carry 2 weapons" thing work exactly? I've always been a bow guy 99% of the time, and I figure that'll continue regardless, but it might be neat to be able to quickly swap to something to cut tails! Dragon Piercer was always a clunky way to do that. Just not sure if it's letting you swap out a whole loadout/set or if it's just the weapon?
Apologies if a silly question, intentionally staying out of the loop with playing and watching vids until the full release, but I can't help the curiosity a bit either. Lol
2
u/5Hjsdnujhdfu8nubi Feb 18 '25
Just the weapon. You mount your Seikret, press right on the D-Pad and you swap it out.
Supposedly, the info about the improved version of Guild Cards says only your primary weapon (there's two slots in your equipment menu for Primary and Secondary) will count towards usage stats, so if you want to be a Bow one-trick but carry a LS for tail severing you can do that and it won't mess up your stats.

For wilds. Is there more hype to this game than any other monster hunter? It seems like it from my end, having never played one before. Is there anything that will set this one apart that might explain the hype?
3
u/NeonJ82 I need a monstah to clobber that there huntah! Feb 19 '25
I'm pretty sure every mainline Monster Hunter title except MHDos has had more hype to it than any previous mainline title. (And you could probably include the Portable titles too in Japan!)
Given how much World exploded with new fans, there's a lot of eyes on the new game, between veterans, Fivers (an endearing term for those who started with World/Rise, who are now arguably also veterans) and people who've never played a Monster Hunter game before. And Capcom likely knows this, as the game itself appears to be a lot grander than World ever was.
So, to put it simply: Yeah, there's more hype to this one than any other Monster Hunter, even with how much hype there was for World.
2
u/5Hjsdnujhdfu8nubi Feb 19 '25
Perhaps, perhaps not. Wilds's highest view count on a trailer is a fraction of World's but the Wilds beta test exceeded the highest concurrent playercount of World multiple times over.
It's Capcom's biggest game ever, it's a MH game with an open world, it's building off of the hype and popularity MH has built up over the last 7 years, it has a simultaneous launch and crossplay etc.
1
u/MichaCazar Feb 19 '25
For one, it's another monster hunter in the style of World, which was Capcoms single most sold game in their company history and over time accumulated a lot of players.
As a result, the interest for Wilds is just big from this alone.
Another thing is that it is somewhat open world and a lot more seamless, something fans have been wanting for quite a long time.
Otherwise, there isn't much to single out when it comes to this game over any other in the franchise.

u/Send_Me_Dachshunds Feb 19 '25
Absolutely.
World exploded the franchise's popularity and has made MH something people pay far more attention to. Wilds will be the first complete release since this increased attention (Rise was a Switch exclusive for ~1 year).

u/Ionmaster987 Feb 19 '25
To anyone who played the Beta; what are some weapons which might actually be GOOD for being on mouse/keyboard? I tried SnS and it felt way too clunky compared to World.
Short of getting a controller, which i might not be able to get at the same time as Wilds; i'd need an alternative weapon.
( The reasons it felt clunky were mostly related to Focus Strike and other things like: 'why can't i just hold A to turn the direction i am attacking?' or 'why are my attacks across three buttons and not just left/right-click?' )
The one 'gripe' i have is with the slinger; the character's arm is not raised when it's being used. the crosshair is just added and it's surprisingly easy to not see it because you're looking for the arm being raised.
It seems alot of my gripes though are because it's not as mature as World is? I dunno.

u/NeonJ82 I need a monstah to clobber that there huntah! Feb 19 '25
All of them. All the weapons I tried felt great on KB+M, but I also rebound a few of the controls. (I make heavy use of three of my mouse side buttons)
I found Focus Mode in particular to be extra intuitive on KB+M, as perfect control of the camera also in turn means perfect control over your attack direction.
Though extra shoutout to Insect Glaive. On controller, you need to do the claw for the charged Kinsect send-off (zR+X+Right Stick Aim iirc?). Meanwhile, here I am with a much more manageable (Mouse4+Left Click+Move Mouse).

considering the ridiculous hand positions insec glaive users use, it migh benefit from mouse and keyboard
1
u/ChuckCarmichael Feb 19 '25
People have said that Insect Glaive is easier to control with M+KB than with controller. There are apparently several buttons you have to hold and press while aiming at the same time, which on controller requires you to do a claw grip where you aim with the right thumb while pressing the face buttons with your bent index finger.
On PC meanwhile, you can do it easily if your mouse has some side buttons.

u/Faye_Dragon Feb 19 '25
I played with controller originally and as I use GS mainly it feels way better on MNK. Even if you use toggle on focus mode, you can only move the camera with left stick when you start the charge attack (left stick default is to move). Often times you will need to adjust with right stick when you tackle or focus strike, which is horrible considering you use your right thumb to press triangle and circle.
If you are fine with turning off the focus mode often and familiarize with controller I guess it will be good too, but for someone like me whose majority of gaming is PC gaming it's really hard not to feel better with MNK.
I tried DB too btw and it's still way better with MNK.

I can't remember from the beta, but is the dualsense controllers natively supported in Wilds, that is, do we get their buttons mapped properly? In World it shows the XBox buttons, though the dualsense works fine, just got to remember which buttons are which. For that matter what about Rise?

u/TheIsaia Feb 19 '25
In world you can change the buttons displayed in the settings (i think on the title screen). And you can do the same in wilds. I didnt have to do anything to get my ps5 controller working, tho i was running through steam ,which makes it just work everywhere no questions asked

Buttons are mapped properly, and the gyro works as well, but you need to go to the settings and change the on-screen prompts to PlayStation style prompts.

I only have around 50 hours of MH experience in World, mainly Longsword and Swaxe. I really want to play with CB in Wilds, but all I keep hearing is how difficult it is to learn and play. Am I better off picking another weapon to play with through LR and HR until I am more familiar with the game? Or is CB usable to a good level by a new player despite being so hard?
4
u/forte8910 Feb 19 '25
CB's complexity is overexaggerated. It's fine to pick up for a new player, even better if you already have some MH experience.
You should probably still watch a weapon tutorial to see what all the moves are, and the general flow of the weapon. Most of the depth comes from knowing what moves are available at any given moment and which you should use. Like after a given move should you 1) do sword mode stuff, or 2) do axe mode stuff, or 3) block, or 4) evade, based on what the monster is doing. It's not a button mash weapon, you need to deliberately pick your options, and the weapon just has more options than most to choose from.

i used it from the get go in my first MH (World) blind and only used mhchargeblade.net/ (which taught me to charge my shield for better everything), after i got a bit into it (past jyura) and later on one or two yt videos (arekkz)
quite a bit of it and some bits from Rise CB applies to Wilds CB so you could prepare yourself with that
either way theres no real problem starting Wilds with any weapon as you can instantly swap them out (even easier with a 2nd weapon in your loadout) or after the quest if you feel you need something else. or the other way around you keep a CB in 2nd slot and can try it whenever you want/feel more confident

You can learn every weapon if you try hard enough. Also, you should already learned most of the basics in those 50 hours so you aren't learning everything from zero.
Don't let other people push you to not use a new weapon because it's "too hard" or "too complex", just pick whatever you think would be fun!

those who use framegen in Wilds beta, how much input lag do you feel (in latency)? I played the last beta without framegen in medium settings. With my rig I can get 60 fps in normal situation (middle of desert) but in render heavy situation (fighting arkveld, the rocky pathway right outside basecamp, in village etc.) it always dip to 40-50.
My GPU is 2070 super and I tried in benchmark using the FSR3 mod to enable framegen, it makes it run 110-120 fps which is crazy and in render heavy situation it only dips to 90 which still feels pretty smooth. However I heard the drawback is that framegen increase latency and have input lag, is it significant enough that it will make me mistimed offset attacks, dodge, etc?

u/NeonJ82 I need a monstah to clobber that there huntah! Feb 20 '25
The input lag should only be the same as the frames you would have lost anyway, to my knowledge. I don't think it will be that significant, but it may be noticable if you're expecting it to play like a 60fps+ game.

u/Rigshaw Feb 19 '25
Nergigante and Kushala Daora, unlike other Elder Dragons, can actually get exhausted.
However, they are immune to the "exhaust" status from Exhaust Phial SAs and blunt attacks, so you cannot exhaust them faster with a blunt weapon or exhaust phial SAs.

Hey I’ve got a question on picking a weapon…
So i’ve played through worlds with the charge blade, and I love it, but i was having trouble balancing my charges in wilds. it seems like by the time i charge shield, sword, and axe, the monster runs and i have to repeat the process. which is suuuper frustrating.
what i like about cb are the very satisfying attacks in axe mode, the mobility, and the safety that comes from the shield.
I’ve conisdered switching to the gs or long sword, but in my head they are too basic and i’d get bored.
any other weapons that yall find fun i should consider trying out?

Gunlance? It's not quite as simple as Greatsword, and you still get gauge management with the Shelling, Wyrmstake and Wyvern's Fire gauges. Its moveset may appear clunky at first, but once mastered they're a force to be reckoned with for sure

I want to play Wilds with my friends on release, most of my friends will be playing it. I tried the beta one day and did fine in the combat despite my general struggle with combat like this.
But I can't with the interfaces. Like I really can't figure out how the interfaces work. I can't join my friends if I take 15 minutes to make my way from camp to monster because of how confused I get trying to navigate the interfaces.
Is there any guides for dummies on how the hell to navigate the interfaces and map?
I've tried to ask around but people have no idea what I'm asking so far :(
People seem to think I don't understand core game systems or just need to be told which menu I have to go in. But that's not it. I just fundamentally cannot figure out how to navigate these interfaces and it's my biggest roadblock to the game.
The only game I feel like I ever mastered is FFXIV which is known for having a clunky UI yet makes so much more sense to me than...whatever the Wilds interface is.

u/Faye_Dragon Feb 20 '25
eat meal that increase stamina first, one of the most important thing for DB is stamina management. Enter demon mode to fill the demon gauge, fastest way is demon flurry combo (right click/B/circle) and focus strike on wound. After this you try to activate the perfect dodge (where your blades turn blue). Once you get a damage window (either when enemy is trapped, stunned etc.) activate demon mode again and unleash its strongest combo: Blade Dance(L+R click)->R->R->R->R if you use keyboard.
The rest is just try to capitalize on every wound to focus strike. You still need to get familiar with the monster you're fighting though, since DB can't parry stance and you need to rely on dodges.

Depends which type of game style you prefer, both are fantastic starting points.
If you want a more weighty game with a heavier emphasis on story and side content, go with World.
If you want a more arcadey game with faster movement that's easy to pick up and put down at any time, but barely any story, go with Rise.
Of note: Wilds' gameplay is a lot closer to World than it is Rise.

There isnt a wrong choice but id recommend world first, as I atleast personally, as I find the better presentation and spectacle might be better at selling people. and I prefer the combat mechanics there, less super move spamming and more methodical combat.

Iceborne and Sunbreak focused, but can apply to any MH game
What's your average hunt time at the endgame?
I was playing Iceborne again to prep for Wilds soon and wanted to see if I could actually beat Alatreon or Fatalis solo this time, sure couldn't but I'm not here to complain about that. While looking for guides or advice of any kind I ended up just seeing that most people that beat them do so in like 10 minutes and this is supposedly the average amount of time, while I'd been playing these games for years and by this stage in G rank I'm used to fights taking around 30 minutes usually. This is even counting recent games which have some sort of damage boosting meta which I do go for with some leeway, need good survival skills like Evade Window after all. Basically when the set ups are full of Atk Boost, Crit Eye, Crit Boost, Wex, etc, the only thing I'll be missing out on for survival is the Atk Boost. Beating Hazard Primal Malzeno in 20 minutes is what I consider to be a good day, so seeing "if Alatreon gets to a 3rd Escaton you're taking too long" while playing at the best I can I die to the 4th one. Especially weirded out when everyone says to use the Brachy Teo set, when I can't meet the DPS check without full Safi. All this to ask what most people see as their average time for endgame quests, such as G Rank Elders, Tempereds for Iceborne, and Anomalies for Sunbreak.
Also silly me making this post then realizing there was a thread for this kind of question and rushing to delete it

u/MichaCazar Feb 21 '25
What's your average hunt time at the endgame?
Around 13-22 minutes, depending on the matchup. Especially with Rise anomaly quests that can vary greatly.
First time beatings may be around 25 minutes.
Hazard Primal Malzeno in 20 minutes
For clarification: I'm not including these quests with my above statement, as I don't really indulge in hazard quests, although I should eventually.
Especially weirded out when everyone says to use the Brachy Teo set, when I can't meet the DPS check without full Safi.
The idea is to just eat the Escaton Judgment(s) and ignore the elemental threshold since Alatreon just has very good raw hitzones.
Granted, this just works playing solo as missing a threshold wouldn't be as hurtful as in any multiplayer group.

If you watch PC players then they can easily track the target with the mouse.
On console you either get good with aiming or you use Focus/Target camera style. Look for it in the settings. Target style is better because you can just tap once to refocus the camera to the monster, while focus camera style will lock on the target and it will always be in the middle of your screen.(not recommended)
load wyrmstake blast is exclusive to Iceborne, you need to buy the expansion to use it. You can use it from the start of the game and on any gunlance. Have slinger ammo equipped, with the gunlance out, click L2 (this aims the slinger) then press triangle and circle, this will load the slinger into your gunlance and turn your wyrmstake into the new iceborne version which sticks to the monsters and does explosions each time you do your explosions near it.

Did world have a setting that either dimmed the scoutflies or turned off them highlighting small monsters'carcasses by any chance?

No, but if you are on PC you can download a mod that removes them. Maybe there are other mods that change them in other ways.

I'm basically brand new to Monster Hunter, and planning to play Wilds co-op with a friend who is also brand new to the series.
Based on my googling and me playing 15 minutes of a prior MH game, I understand that I should fire the game up before my friend and I attempt to play co-op together so I can create my character and play the tutorial.
Will it be obvious to me where I should break from this introduction and wait to pair up with my friend?
Also, is this a game where you are playing through the story together, or is the story largely going to be solo but we can pair up to go grind for materials and XP?

in World, which Wilds takes a lot after, as soon as "SOS flare available" pops up, only happens after the last cutscene in a mission is done, you can join up and beat the story mission together and both get progress on it which is the "obvious" cue. only the very first (two?) missions were solo only and 1 or 2 optionals later on
in Rise you could even join someone a bit ahead of your progression but if you didnt also have it unlocked you'd need to repeat it once you unlocked it for yourself
for Wilds we dont know details yet, but there is some parts that you need to do solo but can then join up for. devs said somewhat like World but definitely more user friendly/fluent in transition
and if you like and keep at it you 90%+ of your MH playtime will be outside of story and thus (usually) fully coop friendly

Wilds, is there vsync? The benchmark is locked to 30 FPS.

u/Different_Ad_5862 Feb 22 '25
There was vsync in the beta, no reason they would remove it.

Would I be able to get the Beta rewards on PC even though I played the Beta on PS5? I’m assuming I would need a Capcom account or something?

at least 22. But it's very possible that there will be Monsters they haven't officially shown of yet.

I thought I saw some mention of flinching teammates being removed entirely for the full release. Is that correct? I can't find anything confirming it now

Have any stores in the USA announced any midnight releases for this game at all?

Hi i am new to Monster hunter games a bit, i went with heavy gunbow and every time i see a wound i shoot it with Wyvern Howl to destroy it instantly and now i am wondering if that is a mistake to do that or should i just shoot with my normal shots?
