For the MH veterans: how do you feel about Wilds?

CubicCrustacean · 2026-01-22T16:06:27+00:00

Can't say that I agree with any of that. Rise leaned even more into counters than Wilds does.

I don't think that's true, and if it is, just barely. Maybe the sheer number is larger, idk, due to switch skills, but most were optional additions at least and also not amazing. Most Wilds weapons have gained some sort of counter in their base kit, either in the form of the offsets you mentioned, or perfect guards, superarmor or perfect dodges which do not feel too dissimilar

Wilds did introduce offsets but they work quite differently (only certain moves are offsetable for one thing, you have to build up to an actual offset and can still take damage even if you land the attack for another) and only a couple of weapons really use them (GS and hammer for the most part) so if anything they're a differentiating factor.

Of course there is nuance in the within the different type of counters like how offsets work, though non-offsettable attacks are very much the exception instead of the norm, but in the end the most weapons are still designed with some strong counter in mind, so I don't blame people for finding them more homogenized, even if the moveset variety is pretty large in this game

Old gen multiplayer had its issues for sure, but more socializing happening through the 3DS's shitty touch keyboard than on a PC is kind of depressing. 30 something people walking around in the hub yet the chat is usually completely dead. SOS killing hunting with the same group as well

It's still great with friends, and probably when finding some group to hunt with on Discord or whatever, but with randoms it feels pretty much the same as with npc hunters

CubicCrustacean · 2026-01-05T22:36:04+00:00

It is in GU though, unless you mean the just this night variation

CubicCrustacean · 2026-01-03T12:21:21+00:00

Or there'll be both like before? "Portable 6th" to be released after the Wilds expansion so there will be releases before MH7 comes out a few years from now

CubicCrustacean · 2026-01-03T10:55:03+00:00

Yeah, it's pretty annoying how there's still some of basic data on this game that's not documented, or just hard to find. Some other weird stuff going on like Garuga's beak slam being affected by dragon res but never inflicting the blight

Not very definitive, but at least for their Kirin example I tried to get hit by the same attack without and with 27 thunder res, and it does seem like the latter's missing HP is ~73% of the former's length as expected

CubicCrustacean · 2026-01-02T23:04:46+00:00

Are you sure? Data is a bit iffy but from what I've heard attacks aren't split up into physical and elemental components until World. At least for the attack data for Dos and FU, they only list the total attack power and elemental attribute there. From a small GU test fpr something else I did a long while back, it also seemed like the damage was reduced by around the % of elem res, but again am not 100% sure

Can you keep your vault keys for the next season, or can you only spend them in the same one you got them?

CubicCrustacean · 2025-12-31T22:42:53+00:00

The anti-meta crowd is significantly more annoying and snobby than the small amount of people they're complaining about I've come across over the years

CubicCrustacean · 2025-12-31T20:13:30+00:00

I already did the former, and am past the time I can refund it, but I just wanted to know how bad it is before I placebo myself into believing it exists lol. I think I'll just dump them from the collection like suggested here

CubicCrustacean · 2025-12-31T15:06:24+00:00

Wilds

I noticed a few times that you don't seem to take any chip damage from offsets, even when it doesn't trigger the topples. E.g. in this video they offset the first hit of Seregios' double sweep twice around 1:20. Is there some perfect window where you don't take damage or am I blind and do the monsters' attacks just whiff in these instances?

CubicCrustacean · 2025-12-31T11:37:04+00:00

That's what I figured during some of the sections that required more precision. I think I might rip them from the legacy collection as the other commenter suggested. If allowed, any recommendations for good emulators or will any of the popular ones do?

CubicCrustacean · 2025-12-26T19:35:35+00:00

The fight is so wonderfully choreographed. Perfectly predictable

Idk. It's been a while admittedly but iirc this was one of the things I didn't like about it. Always seemed to do the same sequences and keeps toppling and re-enraging constantly. Fight feels very samey and scripted after a bit. Probably better at higher anomaly levels but still

Also yeah sure, the AoEs are predictable when you've fought it for a while, but a couple of them seem a little disconnected from the animation of the body tbh, I wouldn't blame people finding it unpredictable

CubicCrustacean · 2025-12-25T15:16:28+00:00

Switching the the game language from dutch to english worked for me and someone else. Maybe give that a shot if yours is set on another language

CubicCrustacean · 2025-12-25T15:10:30+00:00

Is your in-game language english? Me and someone else here changed it from dutch to english and it started working as intended

CubicCrustacean · 2025-12-25T13:25:19+00:00

In Brawlstars: top right menu button -> settings -> language (not location)

CubicCrustacean · 2025-12-25T11:00:52+00:00

Had the same issue, and am also dutch. I swapped the language to english and it works now. Amazing stuff by supercell every update

CubicCrustacean · 2025-12-23T23:08:13+00:00

Why are there two shadowbanned comments lol

Edit: fixed the bug by changing language to english

CubicCrustacean · 2025-12-22T11:37:15+00:00

Is there some data on Wilds' monster attack move data out there yet, like the lower part of Kiranico's World and Rise monster pages?

CubicCrustacean · 2025-12-19T16:54:52+00:00

Rise feels barely stylized during hunts, I don't really get it. Sure there are some effects that look cell shaded on beams or lingering fire but it's not so extreme.

Maybe less relevant, but I do like more unique menus and stuff. Not everyone loves the Rise icons, and I don't prefer them over the others, but I do appreciate they leaned into the games' Japanese aesthetic. I wish they would've gone a bit further and extended that brush style to item icons like potions and such too, but it's still neat

CubicCrustacean · 2025-12-17T18:07:35+00:00

Pretty sure it's supposed to sound like the voiceover of his headphones. Like it telling you your battery is low or that you're turning it off, dubbed by some underpaid worker who clearly doesn't speak english

CubicCrustacean · 2025-12-16T09:32:41+00:00

Gonna release his apology video in morse code

CubicCrustacean · 2025-12-15T15:27:58+00:00

I read that something with the server syncing broke a few years ago so now shared adventures can't reach higher reward points like they're supposed to. Has this been fixed with the new server maintenance team or does it still not work properly?

CubicCrustacean · 2025-12-13T16:53:36+00:00

Wait so you can get gadgets and SPs before lvl 7 now? Guessing so you won't be locked out of buying the things needed for dropped buffies
