road to 1k starts now

I didnt believe the ray dau name when it came out but that was real so now ill believe this...hmm a fast monster?? maybe a fox or a wild ferret, nice theory crafting video

meanwhile me: Fuck you *throws a flash pod and starts sharpening*

There should be a downside for mounted sharpening f.ex. sharpness could recover over some time, like with using potions in world and rise

I don't get it, couldn't you sharpen your weapon on the Palamute in Rise? Why the fuzz now.

the issue is, if sharpning is free and can done near instantly at any point then why even have degrading sharpness and wetstones? if your going to hand hold THIS hard then just remove the system and give weapons a flat sharpness.

at what point are we nolonger playing the game though when everything is mobile, fast and automated?

Honestly im happy because sharpening was annoying as hell as it was, well in the beginning anyway.

I think you (or maybe some of the people in the discussions you've seen) might have it a bit off. Yeah, the game isnt out, but there are still some pretty solid conclusions you can make if you've been around the series for a while--and also some misconceptions if you haven't. This situation? It's a bit of both. People will absolutely try this, but it most likely won't be a super common thing in the long run. Non-HH users arent taking into consideration how hard it'll be to maintain buffs through constant weapon swaps while also using an entirely different weapon. It locks you out of another weapon choice to pretty much use your main with HH micromanaging awkwardly slapped on, and because of how inefficient it'll likely be it's probably not even at a net positive. They'll learn. On the other end of the spectrum, HH users would rather not have our entire weapon class reduced to a handful of buffs in the eyes of the greater community. It's kinda lame and reductive, especially with how many awesome things they're adding to the weapon when using it as an actual weapon. That said, nerfing it so that it's not a go to secondary option (which again, it won't be for long) is the wrong answer and anyone suggesting it isn't thinking big picture. The weapon isn't the variable to adjust for balance, it's the weapon swap feature itself. THAT'S where tweaks should happen if any were going to, because that's what allows any hypothetical exploits to be possible

The maps are gonna be much larger, and the monsters are gonna be traversing much further distances during fights. We've already seen that the Seikret is gonna be a pretty core component of the game, so being able to prepare for the next encounter whilst on the move sounds like a no brainer. And the beauty of it all; if you don't like sharpening on the move, you've still got the option to sharpen on the ground, like normal. Simple as. The people complaining are just looking for attention. Play the game however you want, as long as you're having fun :)

Bruh in older gens all you had to do was go into another area, sharpen your weapon and fully heal and come back.

Tailriders let you do that as well in World.

Totaly agree. I don't remember a single time when i had to sharpen mid fight. There are so many sharpness skills that already makes this mechanic irrelevant especially in rise / sunbreak.

I think there is a different way to see Ruri's point, you said that you haven't seen anyone sharpen in combat. I think that is the source of the problem, the sharpening mechanic is a core part of the game and now it is not used other than when changing locations. That makes the mechanic useless. But it is what made a good fight so interesting, managing to balance dps and keeping your weapons top shape was a great feature that made all fights feel more engaging because you had to learn where to hit to do the best damage while losing as little sharpeness as possible.

People that are complaining about a weapons buff being op when it’s one of the main mechanics of the weapon is crazy. As a hunting horn main I will forever be tooting and booping, will probably end up using the slot for 2 horns with different buffs.

My lazy ass didnt even get on the wolf in rise, so i dont think this matters to much

In world i also sharpened when going from A to B, and it did NOT feel good to stop in place not running after the monster, this will make the immersion feel much better. As well as someone that is not good but atleast above average, sharpening does NOT take skill to do in combat, its annoying to hear people that cant differentiate between quality of life and actual game mechanic knowledge and skill.

Sharpening is what makes monster hunter a real hunt, makes sense a weapon dulls when youre slamming your weapon on the monsters body

controversy over nothing

Hello , Monster hunter boomer 2 cents here so take it only with a grain of salt. Often when people talking about game mechanics they get too tied to up to the difficulty argument on monster hunter but there is more than that. A lot of “clunky “ aspects gave the games their own flavor, quite literally there is no other game like monster hunter that does “tactical” meele combat well (dark souls came after and has less moves and weapon expresion) , you dance with the monster and take turns. I understand that sharpening is annoying because it seems like it takes away of the combat , but its part of a greater whole that makes the experience so Unique a great. In my opinion its not a matter of conviene or updating, its a matter of uniqueness in a time where action games are beginning to play the same. Sorry for taking your time, i just wanted to put a little bit of that perspective

I'm using HH as a secondary in honor of my late brother who was a hunting horn main so he will always be by my side, regardless if it's meta or not. Cheers to us hunters!

the way i look at it. is whilst yes, there is a degree of skill expression in combat sharpening. its also a skill expression that can be bypassed, you can get a whetfish and sharpen almost instantaneously, combine this with a sharp deco and sharpening just before combat. and you have now effectively bypassed said need to be skillfull. my point is, how much do you need to take away? if sharpening is skill expression (which i do agree with) then using decos and consumables that allow you to bypass that skill expression should be removed, cos they make the game too easy. now a thought i have, is if people in rise remember. back in rise because of the improved verticality of maps you could stand places monsters couldnt hit you and if you did they'd slap the terrain and knock you prone. so i think, not all monsters. but monsters of a certain Star value or higher (perhaps 4 star and above) will roar at you if they see you try to sharpen on seikret, this roar CC's you and seikret stopping your actions dead in their tracks. this is then bypassable by earplugs. once again maintaining the consistancy of deco's allowing people to bypass in game mechanics.

I just finished Sunbreak. Booted up MH4U on Citra with multiplayer. Having far more of a blast with 4U than I ever had with rise/sunbreak. Sure, combat in Sunbreak feels nice, but since you can use potions and whetstones for free on palamute, ZERO CONSEQUENCES, flat out gameplay as hell, the only way they can ramp up difficulty now is by making monsters hit harder, to the point where they need to 1-shot you to pose any threat, because if you survive the hit, it's palamute time, heal up for free. Basically they flattened out the expierience. Zero depth now, because now the sliders for difficulty are gone. They are now a switch. You are allowed NO mistakes because the only way they can ramp up the difficulty, is to make monster 1shot you, where as in the older games there was as slider. Wind blows on monster movement mattered, tremors mattered, stun mattered, statuses mattered, you had all these smaller features that allowed them to make monsters more unique in how you approached them. Now In Sunbreak i have armor set with every possible skill on it, negating EVERYTHING a monster can do, except damage (not that these other things matter too much in sunbreak to begin with). In 4U if I'm trying to kill a Rathian, I actually am constantly stomped simply her rotating around and bumping me to my butt, dealing damage. She jumps a little bit? Boom, blow of wind pushes me back and I can't just mindlessly whack on her like in Rise. Ooops, that wind small stun actually set me up to be poisoned by her another attack, better heal that posion off or i might die. No such problems to consider in rise. Just whack whack whack. Zero consequences. Worst case scenario, i hold "A" for 1 second and im free to heal. Not to mention, if I am really terrible and run out of healing options by spamming my palamute - no worries, I can just instantly drop back at camp, restock, use quick travel and I am good to go. The only consequence was 2 min on the timer, which doesn't matter, because that thing is gonna fall in first 10 min of the hunt anyway. Modern monster hunter really sux. Should be called Monster Fighter. And don't even get me started on multiple monster quests. In 4U if another monster pops in the zone im fighting it was a thrill. A problem to solve. Now everyone is happy, claps their hands and it's like "yay! Another monster! Please beat the game for me Mr. Zinogre!"

Just another monster hunter boomer yapping about the days of old.

Hopefully Mizutsune, Magnamalo, Malzeno, Nargacuga, velkhana, teostra and egg head

I like Rurikhan. Probably my favorite MH TH-camr, but man his takes on "convenience" are horrible.

I feel like this is more a "what I want to see in Wilds" and not an actual prediction. The justification for choices is very weak considering you didn't want most monsters that had the 'spotlight' in the 5th gen to return, but still wanted some of the monsters that appeared in World/ Rise to return, including Teostra and Kushala who, I think, desperately need to retire. I doubt Final boss monsters will return outside of title updates, but claiming Vaal can't return due to its tie with the effluvium is a weak argument considering the Magalas returned in Sunbreak without a focus their core mechanic. You dislike a lot of monsters just for the sake of disliking them (because they're new?). If this was to be interpereted as a fun little "who I want in Wilds with no reasoning" I do apologise, but the title is very misleading.

arguing that sharpening on a mount takes away skill is a brainrot take. It's a small convenience. I don't see how anyone would think "oh yes! i got the sharpening off after i dodged an attack!", nor is it gonna impress anyone.

i didnt even know you can sharpen on the palamute, as a gs main i usually just sharpen when the monster runs away i completely agree with you i really dont think it makes the game too easy in any way just a little more convenient, awesome video btw keep it up you have so much potential

I will argue that first, sharpening was easier in older game because by just changing zone you were 100% safe, and second the cooldown will naturally deter some people to not use seikret (calling it+sharpen+getting off).

There is no controversy, how other people play the game, doesnt effect your game play. People can play the game however they want.

Imo like Elden ring and summons. Choose your difficulty by using or not using it

We might see a few caming back like the classics, but overall i think wild is a new engine which just leave space for new monst howver i can see a lot and i mean a looot of re skin skeletons of older monster mix with a few new animations which imo is not something i am intrested in

So, the thing with Apexes is that in order to exist they need to survive to Ibushi's siege, and I don't think ibushi is going to be in the game since it was made for Rise along with Narwa. Deviants seems plausible, I'm very with you in that bro, because lorewise Deviants are monster that survived a hunt and became "experienced" and kinda evolved, very so that they even can evade been located by research teams, so yeah, please deviants come back. Both special monsters until now (Afflicted and Tempered/Arch) they were very fun, and the most possible thing is that we will have some kind of this mechanic again instead of deviants (but hope never dies) For me, the 3 monkes are back (Congalala, Blangonga and Rajang) with respective variants (Emerald, Copper and Furious) and maybe new ones. Agnaktor is coming back for me, sieges in sand boat are coming back. Scarlet forest seems a good place for Nerscylla and Tidal Najarala, and Desert for Shrouded Nerscylla. Khezu and Gigginox I think they no coming back. Seltas Queen is coming back, I can sense her. My headcanon is that we having more new monsters than old monsters included. My fear is that because of Espinas, frontier and the other game's monsters could be included, and I hate that because I believe most of them are very trashy designed. Interesting Tier list, now we wait until Wilds comes out

Green pleisioth?

Hear me out scorned Magnamalo in a title update

This list isn't really good. This is basically "no New World monsters". Your point for Hazak and Namielle could also be made for Teostra and Kushala, yet they're in every single game since their introduction

i just want odogaron in wilds

This was a fun lil Video not to be taken laterally 🐸🐸🐸

Theres alot of monster potential here. bad tier list. keep the monsters!

good video bro, but video quality made it a bit hard to see the monsters.

cool

krok the g

He stunlocked the monster, he's not playing Monster Hunter no more, he done changed the game to a fighting game by juggling and comboing Tigrex. The absolute disrespect he dished out to Tigrex.

It already has one, it's called Tree Sentinol

So does voting!

Thanks kroc thrasher
