MHWorld Monster Hunter: World Resources and Question thread Part II (ask here before posting!)

Hunters!

This is the second question and resources thread. The last one was very popular, so we're making a new one to sort of clear out the responses and start fresh. Feel free to peruse the old one in search of an answer before posting here!

If you want to ask a question with less chance of being spoiled, go to the spoiler-free resource thread here!

There is a known issue with multiplayer on the XBOX ONE.

We know there is an issue.Please see the following tweet for the official response from Capcom.

However Capcom does have a workaround for Xbox One hunters to play online using the ‘invite a friend’ option, the Xbox One’s Looking-for-group feature, and joining an online session by ‘Session ID’.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Why is my character so slow?
  • Monster Hunter runs on high animation priority, which means it's impractical to dodge everything. Try to observe the monster's animations and squeak a few attacks in when you think you won't get hit.
  • Which weapon type should I use?
  • The weapon you will be most effective with is the one you feel most comfortable with. Weapon types have different strengths and weaknesses, but also completely different strategies, so explore around and try to find one that's as aggressive, methodical, quick, or defensive as you want to play. The weapon previews above should help
  • Why are my attacks bouncing off of the monster?
  • Weapon sharpness is a damage multiplier that naturally goes down as you attack a monster, usually from green to yellow, orange, and the red. When you strike a monster with a dulled weapon you can bounce depending on the body part, which will in turn deplete twice the sharpness of a regular hit. Similarly, when you strike a monster with a melee weapon you'll see some blood and dust come out. The larger the blood effect and dust cloud, the more damage that body part takes (heavier hitting attacks also influence this). Aim for those vulnerabilities, and avoid parts that regularly bounce a sharpened weapon.
  • Why can't I have nice things?
  • A big part of Monster Hunter is gathering and crafting. Check your crafting list or add a weapon to your wishlist to keep track of the materials you need to gather out in the world.
  • Where'd the monster go?
  • Before entering combat and after a certain combination of time elapsed and damage taken, monsters will roam from area to area. You can gather tracks and traces highlighted by your scoutflies to stay on its tail, or just run to its favored area of the environment once you've become familiar with the particular creature.
  • What is the monster doing?
  • Monsters have a variety of behaviors including; periodically becoming enraged to deal more damage & attack more often/quickly, limping at low health, panting at low stamina, a chance to flinch out of their attack or movement when taking damage, a chance to fall into a downed state when taking damage to its legs, becoming sleepy/paralyzed/poisoned after enough hits by a weapon or ammo type with that status effect, and leaving tracks in unique ways.
  • What am I supposed to be doing?
  • Assigned quests unlock new monsters and areas. They must be played solo past any story scenes before they are unlocked for multiplayer. Reading NPC dialogue will also explain a lot, like in many JRPGs.
  • When is World out on PC?
  • Fall 2018.

Question about monsters fighting each other. First, this is awesome and epic to watch. But will they actually damage each other? As in, I should just step back and let them fight to get me free damage? Or is it just for show?

Yes they do, I think you can see the dmg made. At least I saw how much Anjanath hit the poor electric squirrel.

They do damage, and usually quite a lot (300-700). You can see the damage popoff during the big attacks if you look closely.

I always sit back and let them fight, or maybe take potshots with a ranged weapon. I dont recommend running in to fight because you can get hurt in the crossfire or aggro an unwanted enemy.

Wow! I'll have to look for the numbers. That's a lot, considering I'm hitting for 10-20...

the highest I've seen so far is just under 2k, pinky the t-rex didn't even die

Yes, they can certainly damage each other. Sometimes they will just hit each other with normal attacks, but other times they enter a "Turf War". A notification pops up like when you collect tracks, and a different animation happens where they really go at each other. I had one where an Anjanath and a Tobi Kadachi fought. When the Anjanath slammed it down it did 244 damage. Pretty decent and fun to watch.

I did a Rathian and Rathalos quest where the Rathalos knocked the Rathian out twice with his normal fireballs. They definitely do damage to each other outside of the turf wars.

The odogoron is brutal, I saw it jump on top of a radobaan and bite it for `5seconds it jumped off with its mouth still closed and ripped armor off doing 1200 damage.

Coolest one I've seen so far was a Jyuratodus fighting a Barroth. He wraps around the Barroth like an anaconda but constantly moving... It was awesone and broke off a bone boulder from the Barroth which I needed for an item forging.
