Monster Hunter World: IceboRnE (II)

[Scythiroth]

Oh, I did see that clutch claw ability. I really wish that had just been straight change to the clutch claw, it always felt real annoying as a light weapon user needing to tenderize a part twice and the tenderizing not lasting very long, but I'll take this for now I guess. I just hope this is adjusted or removed in the next game.

[Rhyis.]

light weapons having to tenderize twice to actually tenderize is the reason i got away from using dbs and almost exclusively use gs and hammer now.

[Ker]

Fatalis. I knew it. I called it for them milking nostalgia. Then again I LOVE IT. This is probably ridiculous and most likely too powerful, but can you imagine the Fatalis armour set just gave you every skill secret. Like it wouldn’t give you the actual skills themselves, but unlock the locked last levels of every skill. That could be very fun to play around with.

[Rhyis.]

thats what a lot of people seem to think it's going to do, which would become the meta assuming there's enough jewels on the armour pieces

[Corrderio]

I never thought about it before but wonder if they'll do another dev diary soon mentioning the fight/armor.

Looking at older games seems like weps could be pretty good too.

[Cantih]

I hope that with whatever's next, the go even further.

I want my Lao-Shan Lung and Shen Gaoren back.
Also, I want people to know the batshittery that was Shogun Cenataur.

I'm kinda surprised they didn't do a relatively cheap model variant and give us Monoblos as an update mob.

[Corrderio]

Oh an unrelated note what's Generations Ultimate like? Had that on Switch for quite awhile but haven't touched it.

[Krandor]

I wish we could have had Steve and Gore Magala make it in, those are probably my 2 favorite encounters in the series.

Maybe Gogmazios too, though I know a lot of people hated that fight. I loved it

It has an absolutely overwhelming amount of content, but it's hard to go back and play the older games with how many quality of life changes world has.

The old games also don't have the variable scaling on quests unlike world. So if you're trying to play solo you're basically blocked off from like 60% of the game since the multiplayer scaling makes those quests unfeasible for most players to solo.

(Over here, soloing Akantor & Ukanlos)

mind you i'm not sure how you can get more efficient than this.

[Cyn]

If Fatalis doesn't turn into one giant hurtbox that basically kills you every time he wiggles forward then what's the point, really?

I'm not sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing that I thought there was already scaling in the previous games. I just figured the damage increase from 3 extra people whacking the monster during a stagger/etc was what made multiplayer fights go faster.

[Krandor]

Except for a few very specific fights that are always scaled for 4 player (Behemoth, Kulve, Safi, Ancient Leshen, can't remember if there's others off the top of my head) all quests in World will scale for 1,2, or 3/4 players.

All the other games have a hard division between the single player only quests (village) and the multi-player quests (hub). You could still technically solo the entire game, but all the hub quests will have the multiplayer scaling applied making the fights take substantially longer.

[Rhyis.]

yeah it's just those 4 fights that are always scaled for 4. alatreon probably should've been too but it isn't

[Corrderio]

I'm so glad it's not given how bad most people are in that fight.

[Rhyis.]

wide-range solves all problems

[Cantih]

The 2, 3-day event quests are up.
Bang your head against Furious Rajang for them Astral Melding Tickets.

[Rhyis.]

spam the crap out of this quest. you get 1-5 tickets and 1-5 sealed feystones. the lowest rarity jewel you get from astral tickets is rarity 11

[Scythiroth]

That fight can sure go poorly fast, but those rewards are so good.

I think we get the ability to meld these random chances at rarity 11-12 decoration for the next update too at least, on October 1st.
