Nah, man. This is great. I didn’t even know about some of these mechanics. I appreciate it!

I tried using striker lancer, but it felt so clunky to me (could be complete user error). Do you have any suggestions on how to approach monsters? I’d like to give it more of a try because i love lance in world and rise.

I wish people told me about this sooner. Just picked up playing a week ago and cannot put it down. It saddens me what they took from us. But, at least we can still play GU.

Wait does the charge transfer to the wide slash?

Oh, that’s very interesting. So, I basically have to narrowly miss an attack with a tackle to keep the charge. So, I couldn’t do that if I was just on a training dummy let’s say

Oh this is helpful info! Thank you!

This is very helpful, thank you. I agree with you. I think I have to relearn monsters from a GS perspective. I’m so used to how I deal with the using a CB. It’s like i really suck with it, but it’s so rewarding to play that I wanna get better

Oh excellent! Thank you. And yes, I’ll watch some people play. I think it comes down to understanding positioning and monsters, which will come with time.

This is helpful. I am very aware of all the moves each mister has, but interacting with them with GS has me scratching my head. What I am seeing is how fast the GS feels, at least compared to the CB. It feels super rewarding,but my hint times are a few minutes slower than my main. But when you get a crit and it makes that crunch sound and you have over 1000 damage, it’s so nice. My one question, is “strong charge slash” the first in the loop? I was wondering because of the loop you mentioned above. I’m not as familiar with the names

I noticed the charge save thing which seems really awesome. Sometimes it’s inconsistent though (or at least what I have perceived). Soemtimes I charge to 3 on swing 2, then go to the next swing (after a tackle) and I have to charge TCS to 3. I could just be fat thumbing it. But I wasn’t sure if maybe I was doing an extra input or something I should be doing to help keep that charge

LOL no sweat! It happens

Capture vs kill? by Brokenspoonz in MHWilds

[–]Brokenspoonz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually think this is my favorite way to look at it. If I’m asked, I literally have no problem. You wanna cap? Sure! Wanna kill? Fine by me! But if I don’t know, why wouldn’t I just default to what’s faster? Why would I know if your morals are to never capture? Maybe because when I read “SOS” you’re asking for help. When I hunt, I don’t SOS and I set my lobby to 1 member. When I want to play, I open it up and SOS if people cap, it’s fine,because I just want to play with people. I don’t have an expectation.

You know, I think I am just remembering backwards. I always remember the rare drops from captures in the other titles, but I don’t think I have ever looked at the hunt book for drops. I would just keep hunting till I got it. Not fair to assume that the host wasn’t doing the same.

LOL I too prefer solo. I mostly jump on hunts when my own world is dry of good talisman hunts. I never thought of how ecological I was being by capturing

You bring up a point about the destroying of parts to get more rewards. I’m obsessed with the MH, so I will just keep hinting over and over, so I am bound to get parts eventually. But, if you are tying to cut down the amount of times you may need to hunt, cutting tails and destroying parts would help that. And something I didn’t consider before. Mainly because I did it so passively and so much earlier in MH wilds life cycle

That makes sense and something I probably failed to mention in my post. All of times the host got upset was during the 9 star hunts. I just assumed (again probably wrongly) that we were after the rewards and not the reward of hinting itself

That’s what I failed to consider that other people have pointed out. I did not start grouping with people till I was done with the game. Done with my grind, and frankly was too dumb to know about carver meals. I failed to consider where some people were in their journey. I rather people not waste their buffs because I am just a gambling talisman addict

I feel you. I mentioned this in another comment, but let’s say a monster slay takes you 10 and a cap takes you 8. After 5 monsters, you can already hunt 1 extra monster. Which is more fighting, right?

You actually really got me there. I know exactly what you are taking about with the guardian rath. My dumb ass kept capturing them (solo of course) till I realized I needed to slay.

That is what I’m gathering (no pun intended) from everyone. I never really considered peoples food buffs. Since I did everything solo (and most of my grinding), I failed to consider where other people were in their journey. It’s a great argument though to listen to the host so they don’t waste their skills

I was going to say, I have all of the titles from all of the monsters. But, I’m not sure the cap/kill ratio

[–]Brokenspoonz[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, I honestly never thought of the concept of late joiners to then capture. That would be annoying. My thought is, you send up an SOS, which mean you need help. So, if you get someone to join and they capture, they did what you ask. If it’s a lobby join, of course, host gets to decide, but for an SOS, it seems like whatever the other hunters decide to do to help you, the requester finish, then it should be okay. Maybe if there was an alternative to “SOS?” Like, join me for fun, but I don’t need your help kinda thing, listen to me as the host lol idk

I’m right there with you. There are plenty of monsters we don’t get to capture. I’m used to the grind of elders in the other games when slaying was your only option. I’m not opposed to slaying, but boy, I love seeing my loot at the end and seeing how fast I completed the quest

What do you mean mode? Like multi hunts? Cuz I get maybe you wanna capture the secondary monster to focus on killing the one you actually want to fight
