Topic: Monster Hunter Rise

@Snatcher
World allowed any buttons pressed during current animations playing out to queue up and automatically activate once the current animation finished. Makes the game easier because you don’t have to worry about timing.

Rise goes back to only accepting inputs when you’re not currently involved in an animation. This can result in what may appear to be not registering inputs, which, technically it’s not, but the reason it’s not is because those inputs were pressed during an animation, before it finished playing out.

There’s pros and cons to each approach. Conversation for another day, perhaps. But that’s why. Once you understand that’s what’s going on it should be a lot easier to mitigate.

@JaxonH OOOOOOOH, thanks mate, So after the animation, I can do another input, right?

@Ulysses Ya i'm sort of on a break myself, I have yet to do the last elder dragon in this update, just been taking it real slow.

I haven't played in a few days.

I've just been kinda out of content I wanna do other than try out even more of the weapons, which I've already branched out to enough weapons atm.

Aside from that all there is to do right now is kill the same few elder dragons and very few Apexes available over and over. They're fun but after a while it gets old.

I really do hope 3.0 introduces some sort of new long-term end game feature to really dig into, though I'm not entirely sure that'll be the case just yet. I think 3.0 will be focused on properly finishing the story, and while they're at it they'll add some more new monsters and Apexes to chew on for a while, but just like 2.0 after a little while that will also get stale.

I'm thinking 4.0 will be the update that truly brings that proper post-game gameplay loop I crave.

@TeeJay Ya I agree, I might play world to hold me over.

@TeeJay
Not sure if we’ll get a 4.0

I think we’ll continue to get event quests, but I do believe 3.0 is it for new monsters. They added 4 new monsters and 2 new apexes for 2.0. They’ll add 3 new monsters and 2 more apexes for 3.0, including the final boss. Grand total of 11 added monsters (7 non apex).

G rank is where it’s at for true endgame. I struggled with base game World endgame, and after 375 hours in Rise, I’m slowing down there too. Definitely got more out of it than World, but all base games must wind down at some point, especially in this new streamlined era where quests don’t take as long and there’s not as much time consuming grinding.

That said, I plan to go hard for one final binge when 3.0 drops. At least make all the new armors and weapons and get my fill of the rampages.

But when G rank comes, and we’re truly put to the test, and have true endgame... I may sink another 400.

Here it cooooooomesssss

It's 1.4GB!

@TeeJay He we gooo hype, hype! I need to jump back in and face the last elder dragon, then I need to go upgrade my armor, maybe I can change my narg weapon, and lord please let Val get in I will hunt him for days on end, I will get every bit of armor he's got, Oh man I can't wait, then we will probably get apex Zinorger, this it. just one week to go.

The Tigrex charge blade looks great, White sharpness, 220 attack, And we all know we can fix the affinity, but the things is, should I make a build for it, I need I'm pretty sure there is a gem that will fix it anyway, Oh and I wanted to get the kushala Legs to help with my dragon CB sharpness but uh, I couldn't find the monster gem I needed for the handy craft skill soooo, I will build around the Tigrex CB instead.

@TeeJay 1.4 GB for the 3.0 update of Monster Hunter Rise? Capcom must have added a lot of content in this update, just like the 2.0 update of the game.

The only 3 monsters left in the leak that we know of are Valstrax, All-Mother Narwa and Apex Zinogre

It’s possible they add another one as a surprise, but I’m not expecting anything beyond the scope of what was leaked.

We should also get Apex Rathalos and Apex Diablos added to regular quests though. So we’re looking at 1 new monster with normal quests, 1 new final boss, 1 new apex for rampages, a conclusion to the story with cut scenes, and the latest 2 apex monsters added to normal quests.

Not quite as substantial as 2.0 update monster wise, but still good, especially when combined with the 2.0 update content. It’s a lot more than World got in total for free DLC. I can’t wait to fight the red comet.

@JaxonH Look the thing is, I only ever got to fight val in the GU demo, never did I beat him (Bc demo armor sets are trash) but I love him, I can't wait to fight him, But uh was in weapons and armor anything to talk about in GU?

I liked his armor, it negates the affects of dragonblight and powers up your status/element attack instead. It also activates once your health is reduced to a certain amount, also there's a skill that causes your stamina to stop depleting before you tire out so you never tire out. xD

His weapons were..."meh", you have tons of white sharpness, but that's it, it's that and it immediately jumps to red. I dunno, I never bothered with them besides the palico one, because, you know...I was too addicted to Prowler, lol

@Northwind $$$$$$$$$$$$$$

I know people have mentioned it on here but something that is seriously impacting the game (while not necessarily being the fault of the game itself) is the multiplayer element.

Lobbies, at least when I try to play, are fairly quiet and the amount of times I have jumped in to a lobby only for the user to be inactive for too long to wait is too numerous to count. Every now and then I will join an active lobby or manage to get a lobby going and it'll be a lot of fun but it's much less than in previous titles, at least in my experience. I think the SOS system is to blame here, the majority of users seem to be relying on this feature which doesn't do much to encourage any kind of comradery or genuine team effort.

There's also the extremely irritating problem of randos not yet getting it through their heads that there's little benefit to catching everything under the sun.

As an aside, I am aware there was something similar to this in World, I actually don't have a PS4 so I never played that, but I really dislike the indicator they have added for when it's right to capture a monster, it removes any tension behind capture runs.

Don’t think join requests are the reason. If anything, join requests work as a filter for all the players who don’t want to form a longer term team effort, which actually benefits the lobbies.

The series has just become massively popular and there’s millions of new players who don’t follow online etiquette. Cost of going mainstream. If you want a good group it’s better to just play with people from a community forum, like here, or from Reddit, which has entire subreddits devoted to players who want to hunt in groups. r/monsterhunterclan is one of them.

But ya, one of the QoL improvements I’m not fond of is the capture icon, which started in World. At least in Rise you can disable the icon if you want. One of the side effects is that it results in everyone capping immediately, which sucks. Oh well... It is what it is. But if you’re hunting in groups from a community forum or a subreddit, that’s also not really a problem.

@JaxonH I wish people would do what I do (Pipe dream I know LOL), all you gota do, is just let the host do it, if they want to cap it they will, if they want to slay it, they will place bombs, its really annoying that player's are all just "OH LOOKE HERE, ITS READY FOR CAPTURE, NO DOWNSIDES TO THIS, IT NETS U MORE STUF (:" and its not all there fault, the game never tells you this, instead all they tell is "If you try to capture it, you get more rewards" Player's hear Rewards and need I say more.

I forgot to mention the worst thing about randos.

When you wave goodbye they just stand and stare at you. Or run in circles.

As with any online game, yeah it's better with friends, that goes without saying.

Other than them wanting to capture literally everything, I've had no issues playing with randoms.

Then again, I'm not the type to grab a headset and gab, either.

@Ralizah Same here, I have no real issue other then player's caping all the time..............Then the LS mains
