Topic: Monster Hunter Rise

@Joeynator3000 There data mines and so far there right, with diablo, to, well every monster in this update.

@JaxonH I hate bazel, but I love him bc man do I miss him messing up my hunts.

checking the 2.0 update of Monster Hunter Rise.

Called it. lol

@Joeynator3000
I’m not gonna stop relying on something that’s 100% right every time. Why would anyone do that?

And you mean, the leaks called it. You said don’t rely on the leaks and it would have Jho. 😉 Which to be fair, he still could. But we’ll see.

No, I said it will either be Jho, Bazel, or both. People kept saying it'll just be Apex monsters or the Elders as new intruder monsters. (and someone suggested Kirin for some reason, lol)

Got the update downloaded and talked to everyone around the village but of course, I won't be able to actually do any hunting until later because the update dropped just as I have to leave for work, like ALWAYS.

Also Bazel was in the leaks, Jho was not, and hey, whaddya know, here's Bazel.

I took off work tomorrow to have time to explore the update.

Just fired it up now, and HR increased to HR8. They even increased the levels of weapons! I am flabbergasted and overwhelmed by the staggering amount of content added in this update on top of the staggering amount of content I already had on my plate before hand! It’s going to be even more now that we can craft layered armor because I’m going to now have full incentive to craft basically every set that looks good and overlay it on the best possible mix set I can muster.

Ok, time to check everything out!

It feels good to know that even if I have absolutely no other reason to hunt eventually, my HR will still keep going up now. I know it's superficial but it's just nice to see a number tick up to show off to others how little of a life I have, lmao.

True.

I think one of the best parts of the series is the fashionable sets. The thing is, there’s give-and-take with the fashion and the skill set that accompanies it. Layered armor sets up a dynamic where you can still grind for the best skills and highest stat set you can make, but also create an overlay fashion set on top of it. It really does set up a system where you are essentially given endless content. Obviously it’s not truly endless because there are people out there who have already crafted all the armor sets. But I’ve only crafted five high rank armor sets in 270 hours playtime. Granted, half of that was playing in low rank, but still. The point remains that there are still several different sets I want to create from a skill standpoint, and several dozen I want to now create for fashion. That’s going to take me 1000 hours. Not even joking. That’s 1000 hrs of playtime right there.

It’s nice that, along the way, your HR increases which reflects all the hard work, blood, sweat and tears you pour into it.

...Whatever, I'm still ignoring leaked stuff...Anyways, once again Bazel puts up a tougher fight than in World. Just fought him, only fainted once but still...in World my first encounter was kinda "meh". Here, he was taking away my health like crazy.

Man magnamalo's hitbox is BS bro, I was far away form the dude and still got hit, (I'm not kidding) and I was getting my ass kick, I think I need to just get back in the groove. I have been playing world for the past week, and its amazing that bazel is back.

Anyone see event quests? I haven’t found them anywhere. I’m starting to think they haven’t released yet.

Also, all 3 of Utsushi’s Challenge Quests (Hub HR7) incorrectly state, “Hunt a Royal Ludroth and Juyrutodus” despite all 3 quests being pairs of totally different monsters.

@JaxonH No I haven't maybe they will unlock some time later down the rank or they might show up tomorrow.
I'm loving the new update so far... is what I would say If I had gotten anything from it yet, You see before I start the rank 8 quest I need to upgrade my rajing armor set, I kept forgetting to do it up to this point, so I need to grind out the money on top of having to get this knew narg CH and LS, overall a lot for me to do on top of me doing iceborn.

@TeeJay Agreed.

@Snatcher
So much to do!

I sold some ore and paid to upgrade my new Utsushi Visible set and my Basarios set. Doesn’t pay to upgrade the Royal Ludroth or Aknosom armor though. Skills aren’t up to scratch. Those were always fashion sets anyways so I’ll just replace them with layered armor counterparts.

I’m going to bed right now and I’m waking up at 5:30 in the morning with a pot of coffee and I’m digging into the rest of these HR7 quests, and I’m playing all day tomorrow. If anyone wants to join in tomorrow while I work my way through page 2 and 3 of HR7, as well as some Rampage quests, let me know cause I’ll be down.

Ha! Finally got all 3 amiibo! Now I can start the game.

@DomGC Oh so that why I thought I fully upgrade my rajing armor, bc I did LOL.

@JaxonH what you just said, I'm such A idiot, I could have been selling my ore the whole time LOL.

Did the capture Rajing quest solo, I almost carted a few time, but for the most part I found him easy, and was really fun to fight.
