Aside from the lack of voice chat, I'm honestly surprised at how seamless the connectivity is, especially after how wonky World could be if you disconnected and having to connect back by going through all those prompts. Also, if you happen to disconnect during a hunt, it doesn't throw up an error message that can get you killed since you had to click through it to close it and be able to do anything else!
No I agree it works. It's just the whole set up a lobby stuff; find the postman then call for help that kind of thing. Like it could be way more seamless IMO.
Oh yeah, finding and making a room could be a lot more clear, but even that's come a long way from where the series used to be. Honestly, that in of itself has been an interesting evolution, from the first game's lack of any real lobby searching beyond "well, there's a spot in here" to being able to set parameters to make it easier for folks to get into farming a particular monster.
i believe the bow has a critical range where it does the most damage, are you already doing that?
Both are good! I think World does the on boarding process better, but Rise is still not too obtuse. And the Monster Hunter community is great at answering any questions you have about either game.
Rise has by far the easiest single player in the series as well as the best traversal. It is severely lacking in content though.
I played some 4U bounced off World and I'm loving this. So I say go for it.
Using close quarters arrows like 5 feet from that fire ball spiting frilled lizard and doing a whole 3-5 damage. I fought it non stop and ran out of time. Even with the great sword these fights are taking twice as long as worlds.
Creating and finding matches lost a lot of control that World had. It's a step up from the older games, but a step back from World in this area.
Both are good starting points. World has more content with the Iceborne expansion and will probably be cheaper, while Rise is an easier experience that might help with the fairly steep learning curve the series has.
Cant have a flagship without the cheap ohko move, nergi dive bomb oof
Go for your X combo when you're in big doubts. It's useful because you can dodge out of the early moves and take less risks
Thanks all, appreciate the feedback! I'm gonna sleep on it and decide tomorrow.
Counterpoint: In Rise you can beat monsters to death with this:
Nergi's dive bomb is simple though: Just superman dive at the right time. Same with Valstrax's meteor, which is even easier to avoid.
What weapon is that?Counterpoint: In Rise you can beat monsters to death with this:
I rest my case.
Teddy Bear hammer. You get the schematic from a sidequest.

I honestly feel like World is an easier learning experience just because there's less going on.
I mean it has a 10 second tell, it is kinda cheap in that you'd have no way to know what the fuck was gonna happen the first time though.
What weird is having jyuratodus has a high rank urgent.
It is pretty cheap if it happens in one of the more narrow areas. I've started just switching to a trap and placing one to counter it. I'm not rolling the dice to deal with it unless I have enough space to easily kite it.
Just superman dive into the wall twice. Once of the dash, and once for the zoom zooms. The timing is the same each attack.
Very glad i've got 2 four day weekends back to back
A bit over 20, I believe? Somehow I managed to play over 9 hours on Friday despite being a normal work day lol
Damn, thanks for the tip. I'll try this out.
Hmm if it's the guy I'm thinking of (between your house and the palico ranch) he gave me the initial batch of them which was like 17 iirc? but when I talk to him again he doesn't give me a refill
