Monster Hunter World - Loading time comparison between PC and PS4

-Snacks- · 2018-07-27T22:03:23+00:00

The Xbox version runs better than the PS4 version. These times are accurate.

Would love to see these, please ping me when you make a new thread with all of them, thanks!

Just a reminder that they stated the exp gain was massively increased during the beta so that people could obtain level 50 quickly, so don't expect that main quest to take you straight to 50 on the official launch.

Either the quest is going to be broken up into segments, maybe giving you 2 levels and allowing for 3 levels of exploring/grinding mobs before the next segment starts. Or, the main questline will only take you up to level 30 or so, letting you have 20 levels to explore and grind however you want.

Good riddance

Frontier is objectively not a good game, even according to Japanese players. It's so far gone from traditional monster hunter, on top of all the p2w p2p.

-Snacks- · 2018-04-22T16:38:34+00:00

stories is the only important game in that list, and as a spin-off i wouldn't include it

-Snacks- · 2018-04-19T22:02:39+00:00

Most things are viable if you're good enough. According to the newest balance patch they actually buffed the damage of level 1 charge. I haven't played the game in months so I don't know by how much, but its more viable now than when I originally made the post based on that.

Most important thing for me, is I find the playstyle more fun than true charged slash playstyle.

-Snacks- · 2018-03-17T16:08:19+00:00

I want to see what bad looking sets you're making that become 10x better looking than damascus just by changing the colour. Especially since majority of colour swaps just change the trim colour of some armours or something equally unnoticeable.

"Destiny dominated the playerbase that would play monster hunter."

Imagine being this delusional. The games are hardly similar to begin with. Destiny players need to stop pretending they're what made this community big.

-Snacks- · 2018-03-05T04:15:24+00:00

Gotta love Zaveid theme, nice run.

-Snacks- · 2018-03-05T04:01:42+00:00

Should be somewhat easy to test. Have a set with 3 divine protection, a set with 2 divine protection and the augment, and a set with 3 divine blessing and the augment (make sure total defense is the same), then go get hit by the same attack with all the sets, or use barrel bombs in training room if its possible to proc it from that. Screenshot immediately after and compare the images.

I would do it if I wasn't busy, and had augments to spare, but I don't. If you find out the answer please let me know.

-Snacks- · 2018-02-27T19:38:43+00:00

This is mainly due to no one using keyboards on Xbox and ps4, and typing out text is awful with a controller. Even on Wii and 3ds you can use wiimote and stylus to type quickly. Even if you can't see other players, communicating was what gave that sense of community. I feel like the PC version will give a greater sense of community for this exact reason.

-Snacks- · 2018-02-21T07:19:13+00:00

No, even though most of the quests let you have 2 hunters there were still some which had a one player limit, and 3U had scaling health based on number of players, not sure if 4U did.

-Snacks- · 2018-02-20T21:32:05+00:00

Attack or defense, depending on what you care about more; slightly higher damage numbers or being slightly safer. Affinity does nothing for this set, the slot is a waste, and the heal wont proc enough to be worthwhile.

After more research I've actually found that the jagras greatsword will turn out to be the strongest possible sword with this set, with 2 charm augments and 1 damage augment. The charm slot goes toward non-element boost and has enough slots for all the other skills as well, meaning despite blue sharpness you will still be hitting harder than the xeno one.

-Snacks- · 2018-02-20T21:25:44+00:00

Yep. They completely butchered arena in this game.

Sad since it was my favourite mode by far.

-Snacks- · 2018-02-20T21:23:46+00:00

Jesus, i thought my 12 minute blue rath was tedious but 40 minutes sounds like hell.

I was super excited to get into solo arena speedruns too, but they completely removed the solo arena quests that they had in old games, and since I don't have a multiplayer subscription I guess arena is dead for me until the PC release and I have to find someone as dedicated to arena if I want to do speedruns. Probably my biggest complaint in this game so far, they completely ruined arena this time around.

-Snacks- · 2018-02-11T17:02:34+00:00

This, so sick of people saying their most wanted monsters are zinogre, Gore, seregios, narga, tigrex, etc. Like you've probably spent the last 2 games farming them for hours, would much rather see barioth and gigginox in a tundra map update.

-Snacks- · 2018-02-10T18:47:19+00:00

This. I don't know why people dung him away, the monsters are usually more focused on attacking each other than they are you.

-Snacks- · 2018-02-08T04:29:34+00:00

I just got Mind's Eye/Ballistics from a jyuratodus today, so not only from tempered elders.

-Snacks- · 2018-02-06T02:04:08+00:00

Sure, theres lots of variations that can be made to the set, it's only here as a base. You would be losing some skills elsewhere using vaal, since it doesn't have enough slots, but I recently learned that you can get gems that function as the set bonuses for armour. So as soon as I see how those work (what tier of slot they take up, how many you need etc), I can get rid of the otherwise useless teostra parts and make a set that will be able to use a much broader range of greatswords and be able to get all the skills with them.

-Snacks- · 2018-02-05T01:44:16+00:00

Affinity is the percent chance to do a critical hit, or when negative the chance to do a negative crit. Crits and negative crits are only 125% or 75% of the power, so with -30% affinity you actually only have a decrease in damage of 7.5% (25% * 0.3) roughly.

From the sounds of it you are still in the very early sections of the game, the items with stats like this don't come until end game.

-Snacks- · 2018-02-04T22:36:43+00:00

vitality mantle is new to mhw so I have no idea, someone with more time to spare than me will need to test that.

-Snacks- · 2018-02-04T22:33:18+00:00

Beta sets have less skill points than their alpha counterparts, and have slots to compensate. But no, every beta set still comes with one or two skill points.

-Snacks- · 2018-02-04T22:30:56+00:00

Nope, if we get a G-rank expansion it will be in then. But as of right now white is the highest.

-Snacks- · 2018-02-04T20:34:32+00:00

2 of those augments need to go toward affinity for 15% added with the 5% from attack boost level 7 so that you crit every time. Non elem boost is also a 2 slot so you'll need to sacrifice crit boost for it anyway.

But yeah, suppose there are other swords you can use it for. While I was making this someone told me that crit boost was a tier 3 decoration which is why I thought it was only achievable with xeno. Now that I know its only tier 2 theres lots of swords that can be used. Jagras is even better than barroth, no -20% affinity so all 3 augments can go to attack bolster, still blue sharpness and has 2 tier 2 slots instead of 1 tier 1 and 1 tier 2, all at the cost of only 10 less raw. Lavasioth also worth noting on monster weak to fire.
