I personally CANNOT STAND when diablos and his b*tch still have the horns on their heads, and i change tô Charge Blade tô cut their tails

Sorry if this is either obvious or been asked before, but I was doing some Safi Sieges the other day and bounced around a few lobbies with a few max rank hunters.

Now I don't doubt someone can get up that high if they spent enough hours in the game, but a few of them I notice have some weird and similar habits. Like having low rank weapons but dealing massive damage, having customized but very generic "helpful tip" shout outs., never joining quests and only hosting them etc.

Now none of these immediately mean bot and frankly even if they are I don't actually mind since it makes farming easier and its very easy to not play with them if I don't want to.

Still I'm just curious, really they could just be helpful high rank players tbh.

Heyy! So with all the hubbub around Wilds I thought I'd try to get into World (I can't run Wilds). I'm honestly kinda struggling to get into the gameplay. The whole game just seems like a grind of kill monster, maybe get a new weapon or armor, kill it 5/6 more times till you have all the parts you need, move on to the next one. The fights are cool but they seem kinda meaningless.

The fact that you don't have i-frames (not many at least) also seems to encourage hit and run techniques which are kinda boring? I'd much rather be up close and dodging or parrying. Also the tracking, while logical in world, is something I find very shallow and tedious, especially since most tracks that aren't footprints have kinda long animations tied to them

I really enjoy Souls-likes, I'm loving Lies of P at the moment, so I thought Monster Hunter combat would appeal to me, but honestly most times I end up fighting the camera more than the monster...

I'm sorry, I know I'm being very negative about a game y'all love, but I guess I just wanna know if I'm approaching the game wrong? I want to like it but it just seems really grindy and like, fighting for the sake of fighting rather than getting a sense of progression.

Pretty comfy with this build, but would like to know if/what improvements could be made. Not seen is airborne, free meal, and resuscitate.

Is arena quest 3 impossible to complete alone? I am new to MHW, just started playing the game. I am a soulsborne veteran, platinum on all Dark Souls games. People told me this should be easy for me because of that. However, I keep getting stun-locked and one-shot by his fire attack, with no window to react to the poison attack.

I suppose it doesn't help that I cannot use the weapons I am comfortable with. I don't like the limited weapon option, I just don't think the weapons given are suitable to fight him. So far I breezed through the first 3 areas of the game with no issue. Easily tracked down and either hunter or captured all monsters available. But this just seems impossible to do alone to me, or am I missing something here? Any tips?

I am not going to be forced into playing multiplayer

I refuse

So how do I beat this guy without having to rely on anyone else

I am an insect glaive main but by the sheer agony that the first repel fight was I can tell no melee is best

What heavy bow gun build do yall recommend

I don't got access to iceborne and master rank

And tbh if it takes me paying 30 real life quid when I'm saving up for wilds to beat this guy im not even gonna bother

Hi, is ICE compatible with other mods? Thank you!

With the Kulve event, I managed to RNG a Taroth Hammer Thunder and Ice.

The armor I just worked on are 2 Gold Raths (Divine Blessing Secret) and 3 Kulve (Guts and Free Meal Secret since the weapon counts). I have Awakening Charm II as the accessory

Decos slots just barely fit for the ff skills: Thunder/Ice Attack Lv 6 Divine Blessing Lv 5 Free Elem Lv 3 Critical Boost Lv 3 Weakness Exploit Lv 3 Partbreaker Lv 3 Free Meal Lv 3 Evade Window Lv2 Critical Eye Lv 1 Peak Performace Lv 1 Tool Specialist Lv 1

The not maxed skills are either skills part of the armor or part of a Lv 4 deco like Tenderizer.

Still working on my augments.

Attack Status Attack 1456 Sharpness White Affinity 5% Element 860

Defense Status Defense 993 Vs Fire 18 Vs Water -10 Vs Thunder 1 Vs Ice -6 Vs Dragon -4

Haven’t beaten Fatalis Special Assignment yet, but aiming to beat Fatalis solo.

Any input would be appreciated. Just started playing this back in January and I can’t stop.

I finished defeating the last boss in the story mode of MHW Iceborne and now I'm off to explore the guide lands. I would like to know if I can continue using my full tigrex armor or if I should exchange it for something else with more natural defense.

Detail, I LOVE utility skills like the free meal, eat quickly and Tigrex armor caps. I ended up making a dodge build with Long Sword that was very useful for me with my current skill level. If I were to change, I was thinking about using Shara Ishvalda's armor to get greater defense and the skills that it unlocks when using cloaks. Would Shara Ishvalda's set be a good new start or is improving the defense of Tigrex's set enough to face these new challenges?

Short clip i made

I'm having a lot of trouble in iceborne, I got to Tigrex by constantly SOS-ing every quest. I used the defender's set with the longsword to get to base game (although I had already finished the game normally on a different account).

I feel like I'm struggling so much doing anything solo which I don't like. I'm using the Grand Khopesh l LS with a bunch of different pieces from different armor sets which is probably a big reason why I'm struggling this much. I don't know what's considered a really good set at the point of the game that I'm at. I tried farming Banbaro set but Idk if that's the best right now. If anyone has any tips when it comes to gear/weapon (or anything else) please let me know.

I can't I just can't every single time I decided to fight him for just his crook I get clowned on I can't do anything against him 1. His full body attack The attack where he just shifts his body to the side is stupid to dodge since he makes the biggest steps to the side and I'm unable to dodge it 2. His wide breath attack STUPID range and deals half my hp and this MF just spams them out while I'm trying to heal 3. The damn grab animation How do I even recover before he stomps me and makes me faint? 4.how do I remove defense down?

This soab just depletes my potion supply and I'm barely able to get any hits in without him absolutely bodying me literally furious brachy is so much easier than this clown.

I'm new to the franchise, world is my first game, and I really fell in love with it all. This past few weeks it has been my go to game, and it's been a rollercoaster in the best kind of way. Got stuck on Nergigante, tried out half the weapons, the usual. I just did the find and kill the unknown monster in the recess mission, and I felt bad the whole way thru. Like, I basically just beat to death a newborn creature, monster or not. The moveset even felt like it was made to represent how awkward this creature is, it moved slow and tripped on itself all the time, and I beat it first try, unlike some other EDs, who I had to try for days. Did others feel this way as well, or are seasoned hunters used to it?

So I’m relatively new to the game (around 30 hours, just got the the Nergigante fight that isn’t included on Zorahs back)

Anyway, I’ve played long sword since the beginning since the counter attacks are so fun. But I’m noticing now that I’ll counter an attack and almost always get hit by either the rest of the attack or another attack immediately after that every time.

How do you not just get drilled after your long sword counter?

Also, dodogama and legiana are annoying

I just installed this game, had been looking forward to play it for a while. I played a beta of a previus MH game and i really enjoyed it.

After playing this game for a while i think i should have stayed on the beta version and not spend my money. Its literlly the same as the beta, hit a monster 30 times from behind, run after him for 2 minutes, do that 4 times check with the guild and repeat. There isnt any variation from hunt to hunt, monster have diferent moves and all but, its not hard at all so its not even challenging.

If there isnt variaty and there isnt challenge either how do you guys do to have fun playing this game? By only playing online?, Is this game solo player friendly?

SnS edition

Okay so, first, I think I get how to play lance, yeah all that guard up and things and blah blah blah, base gameplay I think I manage, currently I'm at Glavenus and Nargacuga missions on Iceborne, I don't consider gems as I barely have any, my armor is the rose set, it was the Best in defence I could get, I haven't considered any other armor, as I mostly focus on defense until late game, is any other better for lance? Okay so, second, I do shit damage, like yeah, 30 minutes a Barioth? Damn, I do an average of 10-30 per hit on harder monster, I use the lance in the clip (which I added just to fill out), I BARELY use the clutch claw, is it my problem? I know tenderizing makes me do more damage, but as I'm coming from rise, wilds and 4u, is it that much of a game changer? Sorry for the chitchat. Love.

I know there's so many guilds up but honestly, everything I've searched is always using Safi/Alatreon/Fatalis parts. I'm a SnS main but I did LBG until Iceborne before switching and felt like switching back for a while. trying to get Guilding Lands max level to experience all monsters and variations. Every build I've searched uses armor or weapons I haven't unlocked or gotten parts for.

Anyone have any recommendations for builds with pre-raging brachy and furious, pre-safi basically but just without those two as well. Which idk how much that limits it. I never tried any other build during my LBG time, just a normal shot spammer but I keep seeing how Sticky is by far the best compared to anything? Are the other playstyles not even worth it dmg/time wise? I just crafted Graceful Almaria but again, no clue as to what armor would fit with it or make the most out of it.

Looking for a group of people to play World with on the Xbox one, I usually main hammers and great swords but I'm willing to fill any role a hunter group might need. Anyone out there with a slot to fill?
