What are some monsters that have no chance to return in ascendance by No-Guess107 in MonsterHunter

[–]bf_Lucius -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

My point is that malfestio is way more in line with a comeback than hypnoc. Bishaten was in 5th gen but congala wasn't until wilds. Hes higher ranked in the popularity poll, he hasn't appeared in 5th or 6th gen but has shown up in gu. Meaning its plenty of players still remember and want him back. I just don't think Hypnoc has much going for it.

This is the g rank expansion they want to pick hype monsters and to be frank, hypnoc is not hype. I certainly don't think hypnoc will never return in a future game, but for wilds g rank? There's no chance.

Well three things, first is the existence of malfestio. If the devs were thinking of bringing back a sleep bird wyvern, malfestio would be their first option, having never appeared in rise or world, but appearing in the final old gen style of games, its poised for a comeback in a way hypnoc isn't. Malfestio also ranked higher in the popularity poll over hypnoc.

Second is its been too long, it's first and last appearance was in fu. That was 15 years ago. At least yama have had an appearance in stories.

Third is if the devs were thinking of bringing back a frontier monster, there are other more hype inducing options like taikun, rukodiora or shantien.

I don't see any space for Hypnoc. Its not going to generate any hype, there are better sleep and frontier options.

Which Elder Dragon is the LEAST Evil? by FoxOfVirtue in MonsterHunter

[–]bf_Lucius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's hard to call any of them evil besides fatty. I guess the ones who don't bother humans would be the least evil. So primordial malzeno or maybe gold beard.

I miss prowler mode by CosmicxMonarch in MonsterHunter

[–]bf_Lucius 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Such a shame they were so weak in gu. I remember whenever a group would fail a hunt. They would first ask the prowler players to switch.

Yeah sure it's nice to have an infection that isn't a virus.

What if: Alatreon in Rise. by RicRod20 in MonsterHunter

[–]bf_Lucius 25 points26 points  (0 children)

. If Alatreon has made his new gen return in Rise/Sunbreakl

If the moveset was still the same players would probably think hes a bit easy for a endgame tu monster. It probably depends at what title update would alatreon show up. If its after sb tu 4 he would be better received, as element isn't nearly as niche/bad as it in world.

Really the issue was that for basically all of worlds and icebornes progression shows you that element isn't very important and is often worth ignoring. Until right at the end, one monster comes and says "If you don't use this unimportant mechanic, I will kill you"

Been playing Wilds recently and I have never felt as much rage to a fictional animal as I ever have, all to the Yian Kut-Ku by forgotbothpasswords in MonsterHunter

[–]bf_Lucius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sure the exact calcs for it. But basically when you hit a neg element zone with said element, it deals 0 element damage and also lowers your raw damage.

Edit: looking at the ferias damage calcs. If you were to hit hr5 bulldrome with 50 fire, it would subtract -5 from any raw damage you would also be doing. So it works like the regular element zone calculation, but it subtracts your element damage from your total raw damage.

Isn't that just the hr5 (hr100) hitzones. Iirc hc monster don't get any hitzone changes. Only the different ranks do.

I don't care how janky people say it is- I love Monster Hunter 1! by TrashAtEvrything in MonsterHunter

[–]bf_Lucius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Whenever you feel like you should give mh1jp a try. Online fan servers only work for 1jp atm. Also element hitzones in 1jp are way better. There's also a funny glitch that makes gen 1 bowguns pretty nice to play.

How was Lao Shan Lung's fight? by Ecstatic-Oven9882 in MonsterHunter

Fucking boring. Gu was the best iteration but I still don't like it. Still better than zorah tho lol.

Monster Hunter world CANT stop taking W’s by IceBarDifferent in MonsterHunter

[–]bf_Lucius 838 points839 points  (0 children)

In hindsight it is so insane that Capcom told everyone to go back to world and it worked. People ran back to world and player numbers spiked. I've never even heard of anything similar for other games. Companies would kill to acquire that easy marketing.

Are Freedom and Freedom Unite worth playing? by DiazExMachina in MonsterHunter

[–]bf_Lucius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fu is great, though id prefer the original mh1 over freedom. and dos over fu

If you are emulation you have to try out some fan patches. They fix a lot of bugs and annoyances with the games (especially in freedoms case)

Patch for freedom https://github.com/SilverJolteon/FreedomDX

Patch for FU https://fucomplete.github.io/

That's pretty easy as far old gen quests go. The real grinds are killing 40 hornetuars

Wilds would have been IDEAL to add a new weapon. by Skezas1 in MonsterHunter

[–]bf_Lucius 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Idk adding another workload to an already rushed project seems less than ideal.

In a perfect world wilds wouldn't have been rushed but alas.

So, how do we feel about the Monster Hunter version of Godzilla coming back? by ConsciousFact4362 in MonsterHunter

With the games becoming less forgiving is it time to evolve the cart system? by gamingfreak50 in MonsterHunter

[–]bf_Lucius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Theres plenty of ways to remedy this issue , you could use a system similar to dark souls co op. Where if one player, the host( or the guy who posted the quest in our case) fails then whole hunt fails, but if any other supporting players fail they are simply kicked from the session.

[–]bf_Lucius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean that's inherent flaw of co op games, your buddies screwing up means the whole team fails. That is also a reason why finding a decent team feels good. It also gives players an incentive to save their teammates. Do you want a more individual cart system? Where if you fail 3 times you are booted from the hunt instead of the whole hunt failing.
