@@SlurmsMCKNZee Says Sunbreak in the title doesn't it?

@VaulickTheCrow my bad, defenetely will use your build when reach sunbreak. Thanks

@@BoscoBop Which sucks because one of the best ways to learn is to watch. We don't have the vets going around helping folks like that anymore.

@@VaulickTheCrow very true, i remember when i felt like i was okay enough to contribute to co-op, i got into a group with a hbg user who stunlocked a monster with status effects and traps i believed they crafted one after the other while the rest of us wailed on the monster. i immediately tried implementing that play style on lbg and had faster hunts on other groups. watching that hbg user who was obviously leagues above the rest of us was inspiring. the image of them working in the background in a very impactful way is just imprinted in my mind

Many people have theorized that the offline portions exist essentially as a very long tutorial, which I think is fine. Unfortunately, they end up trapped by the fact that some people simply want to jump into multiplayer with their friends immediately, and don't want to do the tutorial. I don't think it's communicated very well, the segmented portion. I do agree that it needs revising. A hunter's rank should persist between "modes". Promotion quests you have access too would also fix the problem, just a one time multiplayer quest to bump you up a rank. Wilds also seems to have exacerbated a lot of my concerns when it comes to multiplayer. I hardly even notice the other players in my hunt, it feels less team oriented than ever. Multiplayer almost feels vestigial, further compounded by how easily replaced your teammates are by a bunch of random robots.

@@VaulickTheCrow You know, now that I think about it, after re-playing world again recently and taking off the rose tinted glasses I look at it so fondly with. Is that my wish of wanting there to be more of a seamless connection between singleplayer and multiplayer resulted in (what feels like) basically the whole game being tutorialized/babified to a completely unreal degree in a very monkey's paw-esque twist. I think the monsters are still great in world, and they are still quite challenging, but wow if they game isn't holding you're hand the entire time while you go towards them. Rise honestly addressed a lot of that by stuffing the villiage quests with basically nothing but tutorials and constant popups. Which segregates a lot of what I think the worst parts of World are into one quarantined off area. I'm normally a Villiage then Guild quests kind of guy, but in Rise they are almost nothing but tutorials so I've stayed far away from them, even if it means I miss out on the narrative/characters (which I think the old world does very well, which is why I always did them first). It's a lazy solution but I don't know how else they could do it without taking them out entirely, which since they seem so keen on keeping (Wilds seems to have gone in that direction too) I don't think they'd ever do. Recently I played Monster Hunter Freedom, and the game asks you if you are a beginner, and if you say no then it takes out the tutorials and lets you skip most of the 1* village quests. I don't know why they don't just do that, seems like the best solution to keep everyone happy 🤷‍♂ I absolutely agree with your points on the mp in wilds though, and unfortunately I think it's just the trend in mp centric games to keep the experience as individualistic and "solo" as possible. Weird example, but it reminds me of Blizzard adding the dungeon queue to World of Warcraft. Before you had to go to a city and find a party to play with, now it's just an algorithm that does it for you. And basically the only forced interaction with other players was sucked out. Online, mp centric games are basically only catered to solo-queuers now, which is unfortunate imo as a lot of the charm of old school multiplayer games is extinct.

@@Chockavox Agreed on most of your points. I HATE babified tutorials. I hated it when I was 7 and I especially hate it now that I am much older. I don't mind mechanic explanations or necessary tutorials, but at what point are you doing the player a disservice by not at least asking them to meet you halfway? You need to expect more from players as a developer. Have enough self respect to not grovel for people that literally will not attempt to do any amount of self learning or exploration.

@@ASRComp12 Starting to think YT doesn't like me. :(

lol, I did hope I wasn't overdoing it too hard. I love accents, and the Aussie accent is one of the most fun.

@@VaulickTheCrow overdid it just the right amount if you ask me!

His legend lives on.

The scorpion stings because it is in their nature, so to with poor Link and pots.

@@bioarv111 Thank you. The reason I wanted to make the video in the first place is because while "Deepest Lore" can be cool. It's sort of a "Can't see the forest for the trees" deal.

@@VaulickTheCrow I agree, I also appreciate that you went with the accurate pronunciation of "Yang"

My sentiments exactly. It fundamentally alters the gameplay experience in a purely negative fashion, it's not simple "quality of life". That is unless you're at the bottom of the skill bell curve, then it's literally all upside.

cling clang clang

Max accruable stats and then Max accruable stats plus the base amount of stats you start with.

@@VaulickTheCrow thanks! I forgot about including those when attempting to see if I could potentially max out... 😆

I mean... kind of? Fundamentally the problem as I see it is that the current scaling method puts me in the perspective of viewing it that way, whereas the other system did not.

I'm unsure. Either they round up, round down, or they ignore it until those decimal places would bring it over a whole number. Either way, I wouldn't worry about it.

They may have? I haven't checked in quite some time. I made the guide a couple years ago at this point. Apologies if the information is no longer accurate, though I haven't double checked on my end.

@@VaulickTheCrow no you’re fine. I’m just a noob who can’t seem to make a good build lol everyone says use pierce builds but I like normal mode. I can’t seem to make a good gun (I really hate having to grind an entire tree for one higher rarity weapon, so stupid) it’s annoying farming decos too and I can’t for the life of me get a good talisman

Bad Light bow gunner. Stop it. Now sit in the corner and think about your life.

​@@VaulickTheCrowI normally use it to proc hits on wyvernblast that I drop on top of da monster. but I'll probably just shift to a spread build. thanks for the great video and also good music taste

@@deling_city Spread will totes treat you better, I also used to use Shrapnel with Wyvernfire Stakes but you just end up with lower overall DPS. Still really useful for breaking really hard parts. Glad you enjoyed the video man!
