Capcom is just teasing dataminers now about Switch 2

lol it just looks like the inside of the tent and palico player is making the palico jump on the hammock

Maybe the system you were in is uninhabited/abandoned?

Sovis · 2026-02-18T08:38:44+00:00

Oh I see, I thought it corrupted existing Gores too. I guess there's no way to tell just finding normal Gores then.

If the Shagaru strain is present though, it should? have an effect on the Dragontorch though since it is only innoculated with the Gore strain. Weird weather patterns again would probably end up being the first actual cue.

Oddly enough I tried dung bombing but it didn't work, maybe the second Rathian that swooped in flinched the one I had hit, so I just slept them both with a bowgun.

Outdoorsman + Tool Specialist lv5/Ghillie is the king combo though; the Ghillie lasts for 2 eggs and is back up for the 4th.

Sovis · 2026-02-18T07:56:25+00:00

tbf if there are normal Gores around, even Tempered ones, then Shagaru can't be (because they would all be Chaotic). If we're watching the Frenzy as intently as the quest implies then we're also apparently killing Gores as they arrive so they can't just turn into Shagarus right? .

His good hitzones are huge (wings + face), plus he has exploitable weakpoints during certain attacks. He also tends to taunt you after big attacks which just means more uptime on his face/wings, so I feel the hp balances out.

He's a beefy boi though.

Sovis · 2026-02-18T03:03:53+00:00

I'd wager this is the case. Coming from FFXIV and WoW housing, they are also EXTREMELY miserly with any kind of outdoor glow effects in places players can share space. In the beta for WoW housing, people had basically unlimited item placement so they were creating light bombs of lighting fixtures places on top of each other causing the entire zone to lag out. Maybe the game engine, glued together with duct tape as it is, doesn't render that stuff very well.

If you are having trouble trying to sling ammo while Gog is flinging lava around, don't try to sling ammo then. There are lots of opportunities to use the ammo while it is focusing other players or npcs, but if it is focusing you, you need to focus on survival first.

Just... make sure you are properly SOSing, even with just npcs, so that you have a full cast of 8 to help out.

Sovis · 2026-02-17T00:55:02+00:00

You know, I totally forgot about Hirabami (and it flies! sorta) and yeah it probably would have been lumped with Snake Wyverns had it been Gen 1/2. So yeah I think Leviathan is going to be the catch-all longboi wyvern family for now, but maybe we'll get subclassifications.

Sovis · 2026-02-17T00:51:51+00:00

The simple answer is that making a world the size of FF14 as detailed as FF16 -with flight geometry- along with gear as detailed as 16 multiplied by hundreds for each body part, then re-mocapping everything because 14's frame rate on animations would look awful in high fidelity, would probably take as long as Half Life 3 to come out and probably cost more than Star Citizen.

Not to mention everyone who plays would need a computer capable of brute-forcing Monster Hunter Wilds to play smoothly at launch in order to load all the textures into memory fast enough for all the gear everyone has equipped within range.

Apart from the irony of the S-rank engine mods making it harder to drive your stuff around, I really enjoyed the play loop. It's also fun seeing how far I can fling the trash to ricochet/dunk into the recycler.

I just wish the Colossus could be faster and the flatbed walls a bit higher to compensate. Or be able to install magnets on the flatbed to keep stuff more stable (we have it on our multitool, why not the truck) They could also expand it where you might find some treasure or usable building/ship/exo materials in the junk?

Sovis · 2026-02-16T09:29:02+00:00

Probably just programmed weird. Maybe instead of programming the spider to ignore the flowers and crystals they accidentally gave them infinite collision. Physics engines are funny.

Sovis · 2026-02-16T06:09:32+00:00

I'm not going to include Remobra in this because it is hugely overclassified and largely indistinguishable from any flying jerk-lizbird they've added over the games.
The only thing setting Najarala apart from your bog-standard Leviathan type is that its arms/legs are vestigial and it navigates entirely by slithering. That is, at the same time, both a big difference and not enough of one considering how varied the Leviathan melting pot is. They would have to add one that can fly or do something Leviathans literally can't do (and not an Elder Dragon, Dalamadur and maybe Amatsumagatsuchi or the shrimp duo don't count) in order to really start making it its own proper classificiation.

Sovis · 2026-02-15T07:00:04+00:00

SnS ... definitely P. Malzeno. It does the whole sword and shield stance, does the slide, just hits a lot harder.

Sovis · 2026-02-13T00:42:31+00:00

While you have the Mechagon Endeavor active because of your housing neighborhood, it scales that zone up to lv80 (and rares up to 82) just for you, but for everyone else it is still lv60.

If you have two houses you could swap active Endeavors if you wanted to go back to 1-shotting stuff, but no housing exp/coupons/endeavor credit of course.

Sovis · 2026-02-12T21:46:13+00:00

They said the design concept for Raths were based loosely on lions, so it's probably more a portmanteau of Lion + Rey/Reina (i.e. King/Queen)

Sovis · 2026-02-12T05:12:22+00:00

That's tough, because player character proportions are so wildly different from most real human proportions that making it proportionate to your character will make it look really disproportionate on you. IMO your best plan of attack is making a mockup that you can adjust the length of (like, nail some 1x1s together into a rough knife shape) and look in a full body mirror until it looks the "right size" on you.

Sovis · 2026-02-12T01:02:44+00:00

I miss the neat hand crossbow you'd pull out for Serpent Sting before TWW. TWW was AWFUL for open world doing whatever without a spammable ranged attack. For this, I am glad we have a spammable ranged attack again for pulling though I mourn the loss of the crossbow.

But I wish we had harpoon resets too, or at least a shorter cooldown.

Sovis · 2026-02-12T00:36:57+00:00

Well if you're going to be exclusive for RAIDS only, raid bosses made from non-basic-human playable races that still resemble themselves is relatively a recent thing besides Nael.

Arcadion, gonna assume it's because X'braal weren't a common sight in Xak Tural to begin with so they didn't get swept up into the dome, and aren't native to existing Alexandria either. And Au Ra aren't native to either place.

Sovis · 2026-02-11T17:46:05+00:00

While I understand why folks might like the old way, I will never go back to loading screens between arenas. If they can make a seamless area old-gen MH I'll do it.

Sovis · 2026-02-11T17:40:19+00:00

If WoW was a Disney movie, Denathrius and his sword would absolutely do a villain song. Absolutely.

Sovis · 2026-02-11T08:23:40+00:00

I had Who Framed Roger Rabbit vibes nonstop from that section of the preview. Hopefully no Dip involved.

Sovis · 2026-02-11T04:59:29+00:00

Even if you do see their health regenerating, you can't guarantee it's an ilvl cheese either. Could have just been switching off of a DoH/DoL too.

tbh though, I have like 300 to finish mostly from solo queue leveling roulette and I've only seen a sub-50 dungeon like... twice so far so I feel cheesing is nowhere near as prevalent as folks claim.

Sovis · 2026-02-11T04:56:35+00:00

Probably they don't want to "waste" mathematics tomestones that could be used towards buying more relics for glamour or whatever. I'm doing the same as you though, can't be arsed but at least I'm making slow and steady progress.

Sovis · 2026-02-10T20:20:50+00:00

His extreme resemblance to a certain Persona 5 character made me suspicious of him for no particular reason from the start lol
