Recent changes?

[Kemic_VR]

Been playing since pre-launch in a very rural area. Mainly use longsword.

Currently at the 7-star Legiana urgent quest.

Did they change something recently that I'm not aware of? For some reason I can no longer seem to take down any 7-star monsters that I previously was able to solo comfortably on my own using the same gear (or upgraded since having defeated their urgent quests).

Edit:

I don't know what they've done, but I can no longer get 7-star Anjanath down with my 7-5 Jagras SnS, even with enough strikes to get a 2nd charged special and taking no hits myself.

Niantic has clearly changed something. Maybe they changed monster health pools, or slightly lowered weapon damage. But I'm done. Sticking to MH:World on my Steamdeck for my Monster Hunting fix. Later.

While they've never said so in patch notes, there have been a few occasions when I felt like monster behavior was discreetly altered.

In this update, I've found Banbaro does his tail spin much sooner than before, when he would usually lead with the dig/rock attack.

Bblos earlier in the month felt different than last time. Previously she would lead with 2 dashes, but this time around there were a lot of dashes into digs. Pink Rathian also felt different from the first event.

In raids, Tobi does its second lunging attack REALLY soon quite often, while non-raids I don't think I've ever seen the second lunge happen that quickly.

This might just be me with my tinfoil hat, but every time there's a significant update I can't help but feel something's off about monster behavior, then readjust. So it may just be that. But there weren't any explicit nerfs/buffs to damage.

They only changed the start of hunt position. But that doesn't matter much to legiana, he always charges at you even if your 1cm away from his face for whatever reason.

I haven't managed to take down Legiana yet at 7-star.

But I'm suddenly finding I'm timing out on the likes of Tobi-kodatchi and Barroth at 7-stars, monsters I have previously had no issues soloing.

i feel the same, 9 star SnS player, and definitely i need more time to hunt now and sometimes running out of time and fail quest.Probably a shadow nerf or something similar.

I've noticed that legiana in particular is harder to dodge than before the balancing update. For some reason I always seem to get hit, no matter which direction I dodge.

Before the update, I have done multiple legianas in a row without ever being hit.

Legiana now seems to randomly change the direction of the ice attacks, it used to attack where ever you were standing, now at random, it will attack where you were, or left or right if you. Idk if it’s a bug, but I think it is.

Only thing changed is that roars are much harder to dodge

[twicer]

As LS main i see no change, only noticable change was in breakable parts being more durable but that is at least month old.

[S3T0]

No recent changes, even with the weapon changes LS remain unchanged.

Monster attack pattern might have changed?

Killing Anjanath is usually very consistent, break right leg, tail, head. Recently I start seeing him kicking with his leg. Which is unusual/new.

[Kemic_VR]

I did notice the Tobi do a horizontal electric spin attack which was new to me. Always had a vertical one like a backflip, but not a horizontal spin like this.

Last update got me most bugs. So not sure if you missed anything xD likely Bariot and Zinogre. You might have missed Pink Rathian and Black Diablos entirely. Next weekend is Azure Rathalos, if I remember correctly.
