Taken from Reddit, which explains why you're a douche bag. You use alot of empty paragraphs btw. Nobody is reading.

It didn't. I never said raw damage wasn't superior (it is), just that you don't have to maximize damage output to successfully bring down monsters. You can play MH casually with pretty much whatever weapons you want, the only drawback being hunts will take longer than with a minmax setup.

The highest recorded damage a player has done is 10,000 with a Great sword. 39 of that was Elemental. It's an incredibly small amount of damage you gain for a huge amount lost. It's not about min maxing, it's common sense not to handicap yourself by building wrong.

Which, again, doesn't matter unless you're trying to drive down hunt times for a grind. I've never optimized my setup in MHW for any given monster and have only ever gone to the time limit twice.

What a retarded metric to judge things by. Though I am somewhat curious why there even was elemental damage on such a hit in the first place, I'd have assumed you'd need non-element in such a setup.

But the point is that during an actual fight, especially against a monster you haven't beaten yet, especially playing without a team, you're not going to be getting all your damage from full charged strikes, let alone on sleeping, crippled monsters on their weakest body part. You're going to be doing normal swings a bunch, shoulder charging and generally hitting whatever and wherever you can.

Stop watching clips of scripted fights where every greatsword hit is for 2k+.

I've never gone over the time limit and I've never looked up how to min max. It's common knowledge how elemental damage works and why you don't want it on larger weapons who aren't able to actually use it. Nigger cat specifically said he was timing out and so lowering his damage wasn't going to help him any.

I don't think I've ever watched a scripted fight on monster hunter ever. When I first started I watched the basic combo videos since the tutorials in game suck and then went on to play for myself. Monster hunter has too many freaks to want to get involved in it's community or video content.

is it viable to solo this game or is multiplayer kind of needed. like, is it like souls where co-op makes it more convenient but you can still solo bosses or what

You can solo pretty much every monster. What multiplayer does is mainly scale the health of the monster and some resistances based on the number of players.

There are 3 monsters that are always scaled to multiplayer: Ancient Leshen, Arch Tempered Kulve Taroth and Behemoth/Extreme Behemoth. You can technically solo them too but they are a pain in the ass to do so. There is no reason to fight them tho since their gear is pretty useless apart from cosmetics, they are high rank endgame monsters and almost any master rank set will be better.

Everything can be done solo but late game stuff leans into co-op. Doesn't mean you can't beat it but you're going to have to play extremely well and be geared up properly to pull it off. There's 2 hunts that work exclusively with coop but they're event quests and can be ignored.

 

[Cat Headed Eagle]

So. 95/8% solo-able?

100% if you're good enough. I've seen the coop bosses die to solo players.

Imagine not using Anjanath's GS or hammer. That could never be me.

Greatsword and Hammer can actually score some pretty nice elemental hits, It all depends on what attacks you prioritize landing (and again, what hitzones you're targeting. Know your monster).

Rise took this even further with Switch Skills, by giving you alternate moveset options that let you choose whether you want to prioritize elemental or non-elemental attack. There's even a non-elemental option for Dual Blades. For all it's faults, this is one of the things Rise did right.

As a general rule though, I'd say the idea of slower swings=worse for element is still applicable.

 

[Perkel]

Yeah only losers care about 10% difference in damage.
What matters is fashion hunter.

You must wear skin of your enemies and fight with their bones.

The main takeaway from the big sword = bad elemental efficiency is to not get elemental attack bonuses on your armour, because adding 50 fire damage to the 500 on your sword will do fuck all compared to on a SnS that has like 200.

Co-op is mostly dead in base game. The only time people responded to my SoS flares was for Behemoth. Granted I didn't need to use the flare much. It's more active in Iceborne. Also it depends on the monster. The moment I used a SoS flare on Velkhana we were able to kill him. I went up against Behemoth with multiple teams and he crushed us every time.

Unless you're a gaming god Behemoth is impossible to solo. He was created with co-op in mind.

It's comparable to Souls. 99% of the monsters you can probably solo and co-op makes it easier, unless you get a team of retards then you're basically buffing the monster and nerfing yourself.

You're bad at the game and your opinion reflects that.

The game is very active and SOS flares get responses all through out the ranks.

This is incorrect. Iceborne and master rank is active. The lower ranks in base game are not. Also I'm pretty decent. I wouldn't consider myself great or anything. Also I feel like I'm limited by the GS at times but it's fine. I refuse to change weapons.

You missed event which happened like two months ago where everyone was replaying MHW.
Back then it had like 200k daily active users on steam.

Imho in your case i would just join big MHW discord and find few people to play with you, random coop is soulless imo.

 

[H. P. Lovecraft's Cat]

I don't need people to help me. I only used a flare for Velkhana because I wanted to speed things up. I could have beaten it solo if I wanted to sink more time into it but I'm gearing up for a bigger & better game. I'm not gonna waste much time on these last few fights.

I wish I bothered to learn how to do flinch shot. I seen another player using it and it seemed hella OP. I never tried it.

It's still getting 25k players at off peak times. The game is really healthy player base wise.

You don't know how to do basic stuff and claim you don't need people's help. But you did need people's help because you repeatedly failed a mission and had to get someone else to beat it for you. And you're not even close to the actual hard fights in Iceborne.

You have a serious ego problem where you think you're a lot better than you are and make excuses for why you're not bad, it's just the game's not worth playing properly.

You're right. He's lying about wanting to finish up before DD2 comes out. If you look in that thread, he hasn't been active at all.

Everybody has an ego. I've been around long enough to know I can beat anything. I'm just lazy and like I said DD2 is 10 days away. It's making me try to rush through MHW.

Also I'd argue that me getting as far as I have without knowing some of the basics makes me an even bigger badass. I've been nerfing myself.

I haven't been active in the DD2 thread? LOL.

I'm lying guys. Totally not getting ready for DD2.
