What the fuck is adept dodge?

Basically you would do a dodge roll and if it connected with a monster attack you’d do a jump move, dash and have extra properties depending on weapon. It was fun as hell in Generations / GU and was reused partially in Rise.

Adept would completely change the way you’d do certain encounters especially ones with big laser attacks or AoE moves.

Lance was my second most used weapon in World, so I'm also waiting. We must stay strong.

There you go, there is your Lance.

 

[R6Rider]

I'm watching all the weapon overview videos again and damn..so many look so good! I might have to mix it up even more than I thought.

 

[Icymanipulator]

I generally main lance but I like GS, DB and LS too sprinkle in a little IG from time to time

 

[Mossybrew]

Yeah there is a lot to choose from here and it's gonna be hard to pick a main.

I’m so impressed by the weapon and armour designs so far.

 

[Pejo]

I know I'm gonna get shit on for this, but to me, Lance is the most boring weapon in the game. No amount of "just try evade lance bro" is going to convince me otherwise.

Well Lance is literally a tank weapon, it’s about fighting Monsters in right in face without dodging much.

 

[Chukhopops]

Looks like Bazelgeuse armor and maybe weapon too.

Lance was a bit disappointing with only a couple new shield moves, at least the shield tackle move seems to be back. You can also counter into a charge, which doesn’t seem super useful.

I hope they can at least take some of the mobility and fun of the weapon in Rise with the cross counter and instant dash.

Counter-lance is a lot of fun...and i fucking hate counters usually

some metal bazel variation was my first thought when i saw the armour\weapon.

As opposite compared to you, i would have loved if they focused more on the lance part than the shield part, but i know a lot of dude that like to play the stun shield style.
I didn't like lance in rise at all, the charged slash felt akward and the super moves were too flashy and against lance phylosophy imo, lance was my main in world but in rise i barely used it tbh.

I love how that armor looks. I don't think it's a Bazel armor though since no glowy bits and lion helmet. The patterns remind me of an Ankylosaurus but we already have Apceros so I dunno.

dodge is for pussy , real man counter all that shit .

 

[Icymanipulator]

Lance is basically, flow state- the weapon.
Nothing else really gives that feeling that lance does.

Edit
Lance is doing shoryukens after a counter now lol weird but I guess I can get used to it.

These videos are so short, can’t wait to see more expanded game footage. That said, the armor looks incredibly badass, so glad the character in this video wasn’t wearing a leather set.

It’s too early to tell how it will play out, all I hope is that the mobility of Lance is adapted to the mobility of monsters.

In Rise you have monsters with teleport moves, fast multi attacks that exhaust your stamina quickly, very large AoE attacks etc so it feels like the moves you get are adapted to that fast and mobile gameplay. Here it seems a bit slower but it’s early monsters with LR gameplay.

 

[Danjin44]

We have one more weapon left.

*Patiently waiting for dual blades*

 

[ChoosableOne]

My first MH game was World, and I didn't understand anything, so I stopped playing after 30 minutes. Now I'm playing Rise(which doesn't suck if you play solo) on Pc and I understand the hype in here. I think newcomers to the series should start with that. It's a really fun game. New game looks amazing, so you need to be ready.

 

[Danjin44]

Now I'm playing Rise(which doesn't suck if you play solo)

You can play World solo as well, I'm exclusive solo MH player.

 

[Little Mac]

Coming from someone who has never played a Monster Hunter game … Long Sword, Bow, and Lance are the best weapons.

 

[Yerd]

My first MH was world as well. I kept seeing people say they liked MHW combat better than Dragon's Dogma 1, back before DD2 existed. That's when I first played MHW. I did like it quite a bit, but I still think DD1 combat is better.

A couple questions to you hardcore MH fans though. Is there ever a monster that isn't a variation of a lizard? And do you guys change weapons ever? I never completed the story line to MHW because the slog to get the upgrade materials became too much for me toward the end. I basically just settled on the greatsword and it's various upgrade paths. But, to get the materials, you need to kill a certain monster and even then you would get unlucky and it wouldn't drop the most rare item. I got tired of hunting down the same monster over and over.

 

[Danjin44]

And do you guys change weapons ever?

Some people like main one weapon or others like use multiple weapons, think of choosing characters in fighting games.

Also in Wild you can now bring two weapons in a hunt.

 

[Yerd]

What kind of lizard is that?

 

[Danjin44]

What kind of lizard is that?

His part of the fanged beast class monster.

That sounds good. Can't say I will be in on day 1, but I will definitely being watching for a sale.

Oh that's nice to hear. I have it on Ps4, which won't have ps plus anytime soon.

I not even a fan of this franchise, but this set is badass.

I don’t have PS+ either I played it just fine. in fact Monster‘s HP scales based on if you playing solo or with others.

Hopefully they add the NPC party like Sunbreak

Honestly I don’t need it, Both in World and Rise my Palicoes do a good enough job taking aggro and even heal me time to time.

Wasn't it confirmed in an interview that you could call in NPC party members? I believe the first trailer even shows the hunter firing off an SOS flare and people arriving. It's my understanding that was not other players.

That's a weird way to misspell Luchika.

 

[Danjin44]

I guess MH Wild still early in development, so we wont be getting a demo any time soon.

I want them to take their time to make this game as best as possible but god the hype is killing me here.

IIRC in World you can start the quest alone, but then fire an SOS Flare to open the quest for other players. Probably it's the same

Dual blades look fun as always. I love the Star wars kid energy.

That's most likely Balahara armor.

Congalala confirmed?

 

[Comandr]

Great catch. I couldn’t place the armor.

It nice to see Congalala back since it skipped both World and Rise.
