[Kitchen Utensil]

The Tempered Jho quest is gone already. Next chance to fight him is during that upcoming Spring Blossom event in a week or so. And yeah, he hits hard.

It got a lot better once the story was over. Those unskippable cutscenes...
The fighting mechanics do carry the game, trying all the weapons and different builds is really fun. However, I think most of my intital criticism still holds true and there's a lot of retarded stuff that made it into the game. Maybe Capcom will fix some of it over time. So yeah, I think it's a good game that could have been great.
Still, good games nowadays are pretty rare, so there's that.

 

[DragoFireheart]

ok

I just bought MHW for popamole station 4.

 

[DragoFireheart]

Ok, so I finally got through the intro cutscenes.

Not sure which weapon to use.

 

[TheHeroOfTime]

Ok, so I finally got through the intro cutscenes.

Not sure which weapon to use.

Use the Greatsword:

- It hits hard
- Allows you to defend against a nuclear explosion (If you have enough stamina)
- Visually impressive
- Guts wears it
- The only shortcoming (Movement speed) can get overwhelmed by getting used to sheate the weapon when you are not attacking.

PD: The bow is the most fun weapon to use for grinding.

 

[Hobo Elf]

Obvious choice is the Hunting Horn.

Greatsword was my last choice.

I was looking at Lance, Gunlance, Sns, DB, and possibly the Longsword.

 

[Hyperion]

As a first-timer myself, I recommend holding off on the Lance. The early weapons have such low sharpness that your Charge will bounce off most large monsters' flesh. Charging is also a pretty significant part of your mobility (nice damage, too!) in multiplayer battles while the monster is running around like crazy, chasing a monster down, for long-range repositioning after a Jagras, or Anjanath charge, or if you're going for a mount to end an enrage state. I only ever felt gimped in the early game using one. Once you've got a weapon that has a lot of green / little bit of blue, however, Lance to your heart's content. I find it hard to use a weapon that isn't Lance at this point, because you're just immovable and unkillable with proper blocking skills.

Side Note: Joe Lance looks fucking AMAZING, and spins when you do certain things.

Obvious choice is the Hunting Horn.

Especially after the buffs, HH hits like a motherfucker now. I made a Bazel Horn immediately after the patch, and it is wonderful, though monsters have an odd propensity to look me directly in the eye the second I start casting my melody...

Nothing odd about it. The monsters have input reading.

I ended up going with the Sword and Shield.

 

[Primordial Ruination]

Early gameplay development footage of Monster Hunter World was released, showcasing some concepts that didn't make it into the final product:



Lagiacrus was part of the prototype at one point, but it's been confirmed that he wont show up in World this time around (via game director Yuya Tokuda), not even as DLC. The mudfish took his role instead.

 

[DragoFireheart]

Going to try out the Dual Blades now.

I enjoy the mobility and versatility of the Sns but I'm not sure if I value utility over raw damage.

Also I may try the Longsword.

 

[DragoFireheart]

Ok so I just ripped that fire-breathing T-rex in the forest a new asshoke with my water element Dual Blades.

Very fun weapon, all over the place zipping and ripping. Losing the utility for more RAW POWA was worth it.

 

[Perkel]

Raw power value is misleading. Especially with current style.
I liked how Generations and MH3rd shown power of weapon.

In Gen you had for example 3 weapons:

A - 110 power
B - 100 power
C - 120 power

A is about 10% better than B while C is about 20% better than B ram damage wise.
And this worked across weapon types.

So GS with 100 power is about equal in damage output as Dual blades with 100 power

 

[Hobo Elf]

SnS has one of the best moves for motion value in MHWorld. I think it was something like 300%, which is insane.

Motion value?

 

[Damned Registrations]

The amount of damage an attack does compared to other attacks. So like, bopping something with the hilt on a greatsword might be like 12%, while a perfect full charge swing will be like 150%. Smaller weapons tend to have higher values to offset their low stats.

 

[Hobo Elf]

Yea so even though your SnS raw damage is 100, the individual attacks have motions values and do different amounts of damage. So a motion value .25 attack will only do 25 of the raw damage of a 100 raw weapon, before monster part calculations. One of the most potent moves in the game is the SnS back hop slash + shield slam as the motion value for it is huge and the move doesn't require any setup or a large window of opening to perform. Last I checked all the best speed runs were done with the SnS, but that was some time ago and I'm not sure if it's still true, but it does put the SnS in a place where it is very competitive in terms of damage output if you know what to do with it.

Note that elemental damage is static and not affected by motion values, but it is affected by monster part resistances as you'd expect.

 

[Cyberarmy]

I was suprised SnS s damage output when I tried it. It's also fun to use.
But that's something I can say about all of them weapons. They really did a good job with all of them. There is not any bad choice, we can play in anyway we can.

 

[Hobo Elf]

Yes. Before the main selling points of SnS was the mobility and ability to use items without unsheathing and it had a decently mediocre move set, but it wasn't too fun to use it for long. Now Crapcom has finally made it into a weapon that's also fun to play with for longer periods of time.

I do miss the sheer mobility of the Sns...

It's curious that someone is asking what weapon he should use and no one points him/her to this: https://www.reddit.com/r/MonsterHunter/comments/364a8n/what_is_the_switch_axe_even_used_for/

Anyway is the damage formula the same as other titles in MHW?
I mean is it always (raw/class + bonuses)*motion*sharpness*enemy part? Or did they change it?

 

[Hobo Elf]

Formula is the same, but the multipliers are different. Iirc the threshold for physical damage has been made higher in World so you do more damage than in other games. Unfortunately they did not grace Elemental damage with this same treatment, making it even more useless than it was in previous the titles.

 

[Damned Registrations]

At least the elemental stuff looks pretty now. Status weapons kinda got an indirect buff by the whole weapon swapping thing too- now you can give something a couple good sleeps or paralyzations and switch out when it's immunity is built up.
