aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Fuck off, queer.

...

Two runs of the beta, did everyone learn everything, all the neat tips and tricks on their preferred weapon yet?

Give me the game or Donald “Two Scoops” Trump gets it!

/pol/ stop being like /mlp/ and other degenerates. Keep your shit to yourself. We'd be fine sharing a thread with you if you didn't have to spew political garbage all the time. You're like a flamboyant faggot in that regard.

This to be honest family.

How do deviljhos mate?

Akantor best monster!

>mention Trump’s name as part of a joke
>immediately get accused of being /pol/ and bringing shitty politics in the thread
Wowee the /pol/ boogeyman in /mhg/, sure must be spooky

Why are electric monsters always the best?
Astalos, Lagi, TK, Zinogre,
Khezu...

It's the equivalent of a pony reaction image, your choice what to do with that information.

user, we both know the Colbert Scoops meme is /pol/ garbage.

Stop deflecting, accept that you're an obnoxious shithead and stop posting stuff that ties you to /pol/. /pol/ stuff destroys threads and communities. Keep it contained.

>getting triggered by reaction images
I thought you fucks would be immune to it by now with all the Huntress posting in this general?
Fuck off, I first found these memes on camp mendleton, whether or not /pol/ made them, I find jokes about vapid show hosts funny. But now that I know they get you riled up, I’m going to keep posting them.

That's agnaktor retard

He didn't post 2hu or monstergirls, though

wet, adult, kiss, etc

14 Days

>Fuck off, I first found these memes on camp mendleton
Too fucking bad.
>I find jokes about vapid show hosts funny. But now that I know they get you riled up, I’m going to keep posting them.
/pol/ shit will always rile people up. You're actively choosing to damage /mhg/. People are either gonna filter your images and therefore start ignoring you entirely, or they're gonna use your images as excuses to ignore or refute your opinions and commentaries.

Anybody wanna talk about Monster Hunter?

>calls others triggered
>is so indignant he argrily post shit to spite people
wew lad

Yes, I like Monster Hunter. What about you?

You know how to get me to stop posting these images that you deem “damaging?” Stop replying.

I like it too. Are you looking forward to World? I feel like my weapon preferences shifted rather significantly between my last game and the beta.

...

>hate World's gameplay
>hate playing on handhelds
>bored with Frontier
Am I just stuck with emulation?

Or you could demonstrate a slight bit of maturity and listen to other people when they tell you to stop acting like a 13 year old. But I guess you'd rather make yourself look worse and turn more people against you.

Y'know what? Whatever. Your choice. The sooner you finish posting all your pics, the sooner I can have a comprehensive filter to remove you from my thread.

To be honest, just every weapon feels great in my opinion. In the last games I mostly played SA but now I will surely try out more weapons.

MH Online!

What the fuck are you on about? This is Agnaktor.

>demonstrate maturity
>make yourself look worse

>on an anonymous imageboard
Whoah my bad I didn’t realize I was using a trip whoops
Geez Louise get off your high horse you ducking g autist. Tomorrow I’m going to post something completely normal without using a reaction image, and you’re gonna respond to it normally because you have no idea who I am.

>ducking g
Fuck your aspergers rubbed off on me, gross, get away nerd!

>tomorrow I’m going to post something completely normal without using a reaction image, and you’re gonna respond to it normally because you have no idea who I am.
Good. Seems you learned your lesson.

Yeah I feel you, the only one I can't really get my head around is the GL, not for lack of trying/really wanting to.

I did tend to gravitate towards IG and CB and Hammer in 4U but in World I can't get enough of SnS and DB. I guess it's easier to be fast now that we have a real controller, I tried DB on Gen recently and it just felt awkward being so compact.

Just don't reply to him, he's clearly baiting. He'll be gone in 14 days.

You don't even understand the concept of bait user.

Jokes on you, every once in a while I’m going to use a spoilered /pol/ image and you’re going to click on it and be met with it’s blinding fury, and you’re gonna go “fuck, it’s HIM! Not again!”
And you’ll know, deep down, that I win again.

>hate world gameplay
>frontier

Nah. I don't click spoilered images in /mhg/. They're almost always porn.

Quick replying to obvious fucking redditors holy shit. The hide function exists for a reason.

>The first monster you had to actually grind gear for because you were stuck

What's her name /mhg/

Barroth here

Not a fan of World's movement. It feels too fluid and unrestricted almost, when those restrictions all had a purpose before. World kind of feels like a game with no rules, almost. Like the devs just threw their hands up in the air and went fuck it, just let the players do whatever they want.

>they’re almost always porn
... and that’s a bad thing?

Were you looking for the dragonator?

Ceadeus

Yian Kut-Ku
Trying to break his ears quickly made me learn and love the hammer. Still my main weapon.

Yeah because if I wanted to fap, I'd go fap. I'm here to browse /mhg/.

Also it's usually bestiality or loli around here.

Don't go near slopes with hammer.

Probably brute tigrex or frenzied brach. I failed some on other monsters but largely just had to get my shit together and focus before beating them on my second try. I just couldn't do that with LR gear against those mons, so I built full regios gear in an autistic rage and finally got over the hump.

Can somebody explain to me how sleepbombing works exactly ? I know how to do it but I'm unsure about one thing.
Assuming all the bombs detonate on the same frame, do they all get the x3 damage ? If not, wouldn't it be better to use them one by one everytime the monster falls asleep ?

So if you see porn but you’re not in the mood to fap, that somehow pisses you off or something? Geez dude, you might want to see a psychologist if you can’t control those urges like that.

>So if you see porn but you’re not in the mood to fap, that somehow pisses you off or something?
Yeah. Because it's almost always perversions like child or animal fucking.

Can't recall. I think Barroth is what I ground for it though?

Mizutsune, not that I couldn't kill it, but I had to go out of my way to get a method of breaking the claws so I could make the weapons. I didn't do any online in Gen so it was a bit of an effort.

Remember to eat your veggies(meat)!

Everyone is hyped about the full game coming out so they can hunt monsters but I just want it out so they have an actual veggie platter in and you can stop posting this stupid joke

What gives you the idea he'll stop once the game comes out?

Give me the game RIGHT NOW
OR ELSE

>Everyone is hyped about the full game coming out
Don't speak for everyone, I don't give a shit about World

M8, it's a running joke that no matter what you order the same meal comes out. You can order two drinks, you can order veggies and dairy, you can order a ham sandwich, but no matter what you order you get a roast.

Setting it up takes too much time and effort.

Boo hoo

Beta only, they changed this in the full game.

sleep = all damage inside a tiny window around whatever woke them up applies the bonus

which is why you see people bombing and also lvl 3 GS charging sleeping monsters, otherwise you'd risk only the bomb damage applying the bonus. TLDR you've got about .5 sec to apply buffed damage

FUCK YEA
I just soloed a G rank Rajang without my cats
Granted, it was only lvl 120 GQ jang and it took me 25 minutes to kill it, but it had frenzy and a Deviljho crashed the party and that made things a little hairy because my dung bombs didn't repel it right away.

Still, feeling good.

No tiny window, the first hit only, if you put 40 bombs only the first one will be boosted, so if you kick the bombs and hit the monster the kick will steal the bonus.

>without my cats
It'd be more impressive if you had done it with them

Cats are a handicap not a crutch btw

Wait, don't the bombs explode simultaneously? I ususally put down two bombs and lvl 3 charge it. Is only one bomb worth it?

Only one, and in your case only the Lv3 charge.

Really?
Does having cats with me buff the monster?

The only running joke is this annoying faggot that keeps spamming the same thing over and over again lifelessly knowing nobody finds it funny.

Well that's a let down I wasted so many bombs and thought I was doing big damage. Thanks for informing me. I've only just learned from a friend about all the demon drugs I've been wasting.

new players will find them useful in that it keeps the monster torn between 2 targets, experienced players know better and prefer the monster be facing and attacking them at all times for faster kills. theyre just a meat shield which happens to come with some random buffs and abilities to make them a little more, but either way you're slowing yourself down by relying on them.

It's not a waste, you don't have the x3 bonus on all of them but it's still a safe opportunity to drop bombs because unlike traps you're not wasting time if you do it.

no, they're just less than useless. They do about as much damage as a low rank player with starting weapons, trip the hunter, wake up sleeping monsters with 5 mv attacks and make the monster behave erratically. Best case you have support cats that set traps sometimes and wake up sleeping monsters, you're a gunner with bomber cats that MIGHT produce two regular bbls throughout the hunt and will at least wake the monster up with one bbl, or thieving cats that just stay out of the way and neither contribute nor interrupt the hunt and just get you more parts.

i mean it's more bombs to the head than you'd be getting normally, you're applying alot of damage in one place at once and you've got materials for 10 more LBB+s if you're serious about sleep bombing anyway, its not going to waste. you're probably slowing yourself down waiting on sleeps just to get the most out of each bomb. you're still doing ~400 pure damage per bomb

Thanks ! I wasn't sure because someone told me damage was applied every frame and thus all bombs would be triple damage, but that sounded fishy to me

I have my cats set up to heal me. I have all of my 1st stringers as healers.
Kinda lame, I know but I like playing aggressive and it's nice to have them there to heal me up when I take a licking.
Oh man do I hate people who bomb trapped monsters and send everyone in the party flying away instead of being able to hammer on it.

What are you doing to wait for World, anons?
Just got Dragon Quest Joker 3 on my 3DS, since it finally got a fucking translation

>Is only one bomb worth it?
No, it's still a big window in which you can easily set another bomb. 3*1 + 1 bomb is still more than 3*1 bomb alone. Also if you're using an endgame raw GS like the seregios one or black fatalis blade, your level 3 does more damage than a bomb anyway on most monsters' weakspots.

However, if what you're asking is "does only one bomb get the bonus," then yes. If you expect the monster to sleep several times a hunt and you only have, say, three bbl and ate for pyro to make them bbl+, you'll probably want to only set one bomb each time if there isn't a GS to level 3 the monster or CB to ultra it (also stronger than a bbl+ iirc).

So, since Frenzy has been all but confirmed and a major plot point is the migration of Elder Dragons, doesn't this mean that the Magalas are coming back?

>Oh man do I hate people who bomb trapped monsters and send everyone in the party flying away instead of being able to hammer on it.
>play gunner or lance
>blow that person off the monster the moment they set the first bomb so they can't set a second and nobody gets blown off
so divine

lance can sprint past bombs setting them off without getting hit btw

Healing cats are at best a placebo effect.
Sure, on paper you do get more healing every hunt. The problem is, the monster will choose its targets randomly and that will moot your positioning, because you have to chase it. This increases your chances of getting punished or hit by instant charges and the like, and always results in longer hunts, which means more time for the monster to attack. Longer hunts lead to more damage to your hunter.

Playing XX as my first MH in like 13 years.

Frenzy isn't confirmed but it's confirmed that we will have a new virus but probably only for the rotten vale

>Not even the tiniest mention or hint at Frenzy
>Frenzy has been all but confirmed
You w0t m8?

Nulberry talks about unknown viruses.

>nullberrie's face when
This is really a stretch. The people of Astera might now that it can cure Frenzy from the previous continent but that doesn't mean it will be useful to them in that way.And for all we know the rotten vale fog might just be viral gas or something

>unknown viruses
Yeah, and Frenzy is a known virus
myth busted

My point stands.
>Not even the tiniest mention or hint at Frenzy
>Frenzy has been all but confirmed
You w0t m8?

That actually sounds awesome. Too bad I'm a scrub and suck at gunning.

hmmm okay so I'll change out my healing palios and try figuring out a new combo that works. Probably what was suggested earlier and going full support for bombs traps and so I don't waste any dung bombs in case I get pinned.

Frenzy virus is mutually exclusive with the magalas being in the game. they are the cause of the frenzy virus, and it existed in 4U becuse the magalas existed.

unless theyre dropping them for DLC, or they forget their own "lore" theres no chance we're seeing frenzy

Magalas ain't on the list

just like how snow/mud negation confirmed barroth for mh4u

>use the term "mutually exclusive"
>give a definition that is the exact opposite of what it means
You're either completely retarded or about to get BTFO by the ESL poster
