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

Noob questions inc.

1. Sometimes I see a visual effect when I attack monsters. Is that like a critical hit like I've damaged a part that's breakable or added effect like poison?
2. I get messages that I've broken off parts of the monster, but don't see it laying anywhere on the ground to scavenge. Are there really parts to scavenge or is the game just telling me I've weakened the monster essentially?

[Rizil]

ok

1. Depending if your weapon has an element or added effect, you may see kinda an added effect. Hitting specific weak spots also can give a little added spark effect with an orange number, showing you're hitting the sweet spot.

2. This is kinda a yes and no answer. When you break a monsters part, it means you dealt so much damage to them that the part is now weakened, meaning not only will you do better damage, but once the mission ends you get a better chance at loot. HOWEVER, there are certain monster parts that if you do break, they come flying off and you can carve them when they're lying on the ground (tails are the most common item, though I did break the scalp off a Barroth and that was carvable.)

I sent everyone in the community a friend request. I am enjoying this game far more than I thought I would (I played PS2 and PSP MH games to death and thought I would struggle to enjoy this one).

1. Depends on the effect. If you get a bright large slash where you hit, that's a critical hit. If you see stars on the monster's head, that means you used an attack that does impact damage and hit the head; enough of those will eventually knock the monster down.

2. They're added to the rewards at the end of the quest. Once you've gathered enough information on a monster, you can talk to the ecology researcher guy and look at the monster field guide, it shows what you get for breaking each part. Some monsters are also weaker if you break off specific parts, i.e. Rathian won't poison you anymore once you cut off its tail.

Happy to see seregios on that "leaked" list of dlc monsters. Also my phone just tried to auto correct seregios with Steve which made me smile.

I fucking love Steve weapons, hell yeah

[AoE]

Everything. Doesn't last for very long but doesn't have to.

I'm still adjusting to the new GS style, tho more then anything it's having to adjust to the new animations. Same thing with SA sword mode, the animations are different and it's fucking up my spacing a bit.

Now Bow tho, jfc is that just all sorts of ridiculous. Giving the Bushido style Dodge as part of the base skill set AND dragon piercer? Like goddamn.

Bow is definitely fun as shit

Severing Rathian's tail now removes their ability to poison.

Dumbing down the games for noobs smh

guessing you're being sarcastic in regards to dumbing it down for noobs.

such a good change. never made sense to me how a severed tail could still poison you when the sharp, thorny portions of his tail was off laying somewhere else

[Krandor]

Yeah I'm joking, it's a fucking amazing change. Not that one should be getting hit by the tail anyways. It looks like the windup animation takes longer for Rathian's flip in this one, a lot easier to dodge now.

Is there a way when starting the game, when selecting my character, to not start an online session?

[theshun]

Just set it to private.

[Boyiee]

So how are the weapons in comparison to beta? I enjoyed bow cb and gs the most but wanted to give ls another try. Need something in the middle between too complicated and too simple.

[Kaelan?]

LS didn't really click for me, but that's more me not liking the playstyle than anything else.

Loving the shit out of Hunting Horn. It's way more interesting and fun to play than I thought. Scoutfly+1 and Environment Damage Negation songs are a godsend solo.

Also, uh....



So this is happening

[Zzsark]

Am I just missing it or is there no controls option to switch bow aim Y to inverted like with the normal camera controls? Also, complete noob here so any good resource guides on getting started?

I am also a MH noob so this might be wrong, but I believe they show up under bonus items. Ive seen entries there labelled "Broke head" or whatever. I don't think it is 100% to get the item just because you broke the part, but if you do thats where it is.. right?

Youre missing it, its right underneath the other camera option.

Funny story: I invert Y on everything because of FFXI. When I imported the japanese version at launch I did not know how to change any of the controls, and have been stuck with that shit ever since. Its been totally ingrained. Occasionally a game doesn't allow the option, then I am completely fucked.

I'm loving the new forward advance they gave lance. It's short enough that you can just stay in place when you go to restart your triple thrust combo.
