Monster Hunter: World (PC/PS4/XB1) | Iceborne (2019/2020)

[Gokulo]

There's a rumour floating recently Horizon will come to PC in 2020, so you never know

[Rhyis.]

the first quest is bland as shit so i wouldn't be worried about it

[Corrderio]

Probably. None of the events have really wowed me so far.

Also with how close Iceborne is for PC would you say farming drachen armor is worth it? Tried Kluve this weekend and between bad randoms/RNG I don't think the crit lance is worth farming

[Rhyis.]

i beat iceborne in base game drachen/kaiser, but i did that more for my own personal amusement than it actually being the optimal way of progressing through the story. iceborne armour is superior in every way possible, even early iceborne armour

[Rhyis.]

tbh iceborne armour is broken with how many jewel slots there are. it makes the game too easy. nothing in the end game is difficult when you can have all these skills maxed out on a single build: handicraft, critical eye, critical boost, weakness exploit, agitator, health boost, fortify, non-elemental boost, and masters touch. there's no skill you're missing offensively with the current meta, and you get to have the only relevant defensive skill maxed out too, health boost

https://clips.twitch.tv/IncredulousExcitedPigTwitchRPG New update has preview to a new siege event

[Rhyis.]

the new event siege is up now. i haven't done it yet but i did the stygian zingore quest that unlocks it... it's honestly easier than regular zingore because unlike regular zingore, dragon element doesn't stun you as easily lol

also every single base game event weapon that wasn't upgradeable to a master rank variant is now upgradeable through tickets of this new seige quest. zirieal, dante weapon, everything. there's probably a new armour for it too. gonna be the new kulve

edit: also weapons can augmented to become custom upgraded to at least level 7 now. 6 was the cap before

[Corrderio]

Is the siege Kluve V2.0?

[Rhyis.]

Spoiler: show

soloed the first seige investigation (half the real battle). it's a mix between xenojiiva and behemoth. has elements of both battles in it.

[Corrderio]

Is it RNG hell?

[Rhyis.]

i dunno, i haven't done the real fight yet. but i dont think its like kulve at all the way its laid out. the real fight isn't in the hub. it pops up once in a while like zorah or xeno

[Corrderio]

Okay that doesn't sound too bad then. I was thinking it was a loot and pray type of think like Kluve's weapons

The weapon system for the new siege is going to be insane. Plus that armor looks amazing.

[Corrderio]

I got bored and tried Behemoth last night.

Fuck no to that. I'll just get AT Teostra armor.

[Rhyis.]

The weapon system for the new siege is going to be insane. Plus that armor looks amazing.

guess i misunderstood the tutorial. it is the new kulve

and as you say, the ability to put all the essence armour skills onto your weapons is going to change the game completely. nargacuga essence/brachydios essence/velhana divinity/teostra technique on all your weapons is gonna be the new hotness

[Rhyis.]

double

[silverdragontyr]

Yeah but it sounds much better. You have a 100% guarantee on the weapon type you're using, and all weapons have the same base stats and affinity. So the only real thing you're running RNG on is the element. There is RNG on what skills you'll get through the upgrade system but that doesn't sound as bad.

[Rhyis.]

yup, its a way better system.

its funny actually, i've heard this exact idea float around the web about kulve a long time ago. i guess capcom got wind of it and realized its infinitely better



@4:27 this guy shows exactly how broken these weapons are going to be in comparison to what we are currently using

[Rhyis.]

I'm curious if the weapons will have access to True Critical Element/Status. 'cause if they don't Silver Rathalos and Gold Rathian armour (and elemental/status charms) will be the absolute tits with Masters Touch as your weapon skill.

Masters Touch
Affinity 5
Sharpness 5 (Element/Status Effect Up 5 if sharpness not needed)
Element/Status Effect Up 5
Element/Status Effect Up 5

Also:
To upgrade 5 different elemental weapons of only one weapon type that's, at minimum, 105 upgrades.
To upgrade 4 different status weapons of only one weapon type that's, at minimum, 84 upgrades.
So to fully upgrade all the different weapons for only one weapon type (say dual blades), that's a total of 189 upgrades.... Time to start farming boys.
