I find it funny that it is meant to be a way for people with Arachnophobia to play the game. But honestly for me I find the blob monster that replaces them far creepier. But it does make me wonder something if that setting will effect the armor and weapons. That would be funny to see somebody wearing a blob armor because he can't see the Lala Barina elements of the gear.
@@Gep_05 Arachnophobia is a fear of spiders and in this game you can make it where the smaller bugs are replaced with blobs as an attempt to help them out. Ironically the large monsters like the new one Lala Barina won't be affected by this change. As for what @Ms5000Watts meant was the way the blob is attacking the hunter. It looks a little suspect of it doing something else is my guess.
It's very refreshing to see a dev team not only directly respond to feedback so quickly, but also actually agreeing and making changes to improve the game in such a timely fashion. Were blessed with this team being in charge of MH
Or that a lot of our requested changes were either already in the pipeline or already on the table. Felt really good to hear “yeah most of the bugs seen in beta we knew about and have already been worked on for the most recent version”
It is crazy how much information and gameplay is available months before a release nowadays. I remember looking at the back of the box to reat the 5 sentence description or the little booklet that came with games. Its cool tho
I always find it interesting when people say this. If you want to go in blind, maybe try avoiding videos about the game you want to go in blind on. It’s totally doable! I am doing it for some of the games I am looking forward too!😊 Not hating btw, just some advice
I know @tegridyfarms. The comment was for @fupplebupple but the reply system on youtube is weird. I am with you on the how far we have come, I remember looking at the back of the Metal Gear Solid 1 box for codec numbers.
Yeah I remember getting all my info from game informer id read it repeatedly just waiting for the game to come out and hope that the next month there would be new info 😂
Arekkz Gaming, it has been almost ten years ago since I discovered your channel for Monster Hunter content. I was playing MH4U at the time and I will never forget your kinsect guides! I had a relic insect glaive (the Gore Magala one) with your kinsect and the Star Knight armor set. Thank you for all the memories since then!
This is…incredible! I’ve played the PS5 beta and had a blast, but definitely noticed a number of jarring issues. But the fact that they’re not only changing and fixing a number of things but listening to feedback and being very transparent about is such a breath of fresh air. Big W for the devs!
What Capcom does with MH is imo, the gold standard. Super transparent, amazing community support and feedback, genuine care for the game and attention to detail. Every other studio out there needs to sit down and take notes.
I wasn't in a Walmart this time, but one of my coworkers just ran to the bathroom. I was confused for a bit, but again, got immediately distracted by the notification for this video.
while i understand people in world used to say IG was basically throwing when they did nothing but Aerial Glaive (which they were), the point of the Aerial IG was to attack monsters that other classes couldnt hit. Lets be real, how often would you be waiting for a Flying monster to get close to the ground or land because you already used all your Flash Pods or something? IG can still attack it, causing it to get knocked out of the sky more often than not. Because of that fact, IG has little to no Damage Downtime, which a lot of people seem to forget
Yeah, that is the good part. The bad part is that is the only thing that most people focus on and then they act like that's the entire identity of the weapon (which I find very insulting).
One of the fun things in world for me as an IG main was that Lunastra, a monster MOST other weapon types hated fighting, had giant weakspots on her wings. So aerial play was actually the best route to fight her. You avoid ground blob fire, you deal extra weak point damage. Win Win.
@@Krescentwolf I was really surprised to hear how some people really hated fighting Lunastra in World (I don't play online so I don't tend to hear these things), as an IG player I never had issue with her.
@@RicochetForce Playing aerial does not "throw the match", I'm a solo IG player who loves playing aerial style and solo'd close to everything in World/Iceborne with no issue (and I didn't even use the clutch claw as I didn't like it). There were a few end game Elders (Kulve, Safi and Fatalis) I never solo'd as I never got around to seriously trying to. Honestly, it took till Alatreon for me to tone down my aerial playstyle. Simply because of his super move. But with some practice I still solo'd him and AT Velkhana. Playing aerial may mean we kill the monster a tad slower than if you were mainly doing ground attacks. But that's still not throwing anything. We still slay the monster in the end, just in our own way.
Same, I mean the set up is still there. Gammoth would certainly mess up a food chain it moved to . And if the size is really an issue they could maybe make it a seige style quest.
I’m saying this as someone who has arachnophobia, something you might notice about Lala parina (pls correct spelling) is that it has only 4 legs. A major part of the arachnophobia trigger (at least for me) is the 8 legs, and if you look at all the spider monsters in past games (nerscylla and rakna) they haven’t got 8 legs, which helps prevent the trigger. You can tell their based on spiders, but they also miss that major trigger aspect that makes the arachnophobia alarms go mental
It's interesting you say that, I've always found garden spiders trigger the reaction but chunky tarantulas are almost cute to me! Orb weaver spiders though 🤮
My 3 main weapons have been Lance, SWaxe, and IG since World started. So I'm happy to hear about the improvements coming. The addition of being able to bring a 2nd weapon has gotten me to add Hamma and Bow to the stable and now I feel like I have an answer for every monster type out there.
Hitstops also has to do with timing your inputs. Humans cant compete with computers reaction time so the hitstop mechanic allows for the brain to catch up. Sure some of us are faster responsive than others but there also has to be a specific moment in a combo where you have to make the next input. The hitstop allows for those moments to be distinct and easy to notice, something capcom games are notorious for being good at.
You can parry to activate it too but I know it would be better to just do it yourself. But atleast it's way more powerfull now with the non consuming phials thing or half consuming!
Weakpoints are going to become a problem later in the games lifespan. If ranged hunters take all the wounds melee's are going to feel like they are griefing them. I see it happening especially with harder fights when melee's need their gauge refreshed. I see the same thing happening with luring pods. I wont be surprised if Wilds community becomes a toxic one.
@@SpecLeader101the timing for perfect guard is very generous. You can easily guard a roar, a tackle, projectile, or small barrel bomb every two minutes. That’s not even including mounts/ wounds. Activating Savage Axe shouldn’t be an issue if you’re moderately decent at the game.
So much fantastic news here. SO happy to see hitstop back and that some weapons are getting a look at AND that they have toned down the monsters running away. I am a switch axe main and I am a little concerned that they will make it so that you are simply spamming full release slash as I dont enjoy that playstyle. I really hope other playstyles are viable. Elemental discharge and attaching to the monster is fun too. I dont want to be constantly just building up to full release slash over and over to play optimally so heres hoping they dont turn it into full release slash spam. Overall delighted with most of what I am hearing here!
Do you want other playstyles to be viable? Or do you want other playstyles to be optimal? Because there's only ever going to be one optimal playstyle, by definition. To be fair, full release slash spam is a boring thing to be optimal. I think an easy fix is that if it takes up your whole gauge *and* the damage is to some degree based on how much gauge you have.
@@Sanctor95 I guess simply to have other playstyles not be far behind at least in terms of dps because as you said full release slash spam just aint all that interesting. I want to mix it up without TOO much of a dps loss. Time will tell. I really am delighted with most of these changes though. Hitstop being back is so good.
@Terron29 I can get behind that for sure. It's a reasonable expectation. But yeah it looks like we're eating good, hope they handle swaxe well, as well as lance.
As an IG main… WE ARE BACK!!!!! WE ARE SO BACK!!!!!!!!!!! We were alsways gonna try your new ground combat dude. We love the glaive. The whole glaive. The ground combat, the air combat, the bug combat! Thanks for the objectively best weapon 🥰
Nothing more satisfying with this game's release than the devs hearing criticism, saying "that's an old build, we'll fix that," and then actually fixing that mechanic a month later. I got used to Nintendo's "gameplay is not final" formality they have on every prerelease game teaser these days, so it's nice to see Capcom's devs follow through on their word. Can't wait to see how this game turns out in February!
I don't have full blown arachnophobia, but definitely get creeped out by spiders and other insects. Personally, once they get to a certain size it starts to affect me less, like if I found a black widow I'd probably jump and get a fucking broom to deal with it, but if I've held a tarantula before and was totally fine. So for me, lala barina doesn't bother me much, but the weird spider/mantis/insect things in the Windward Plains give me the heebie jeebies
Man...I am glad that the Aerial Glaive playstlye was restored. IG needed something if it wasn't going to have access to Wild's new mechanics in "offsets" and "power clashes". I can see the IG's new Rising Spiral Slash being a great ender after the full Vault Dance.
@@RicochetForcelmao if being in the air is such a problem for you just don’t use it or play a different weapon. No need to hate on the way other people play
So to sum up, my aerial IG is back baby??!!!! That’s all I needed to hear🤗. Oh, and we still gotta do something about the awkward “hold circle” to do the cool move setup while trying to do everything else.
Kind of hope they remove the charge move entirely, kills the flow of the weapon. Make it combo off of a diving wyvern instead of being charged, and remove the charge from diving wyvern.
Ok I do worry about the SA full release statement, I hope its mistranslation. I strongly hope that they do NOT focus too much on full release slash. The move is fine and mostly needs a minor buff and restrictions on its execution. What the weapon needs is better gauge management, faster ZSD out of double slashes, higher damage for swordmode, DIRECTIONAL MORPHS and better damage absorption (or complete immunity) on counters. Also a lot of the morph attack from rise did not make it back, and I do hope they make a return.
Yep, you can't cheat out faster zsd, and holding to use it means you can potentially miss and get stuck in the slow animation. Making it a pointless move everyone will avoid until fixed.
@RicochetForce I'm glad you enjoyed the changes. I didn't like that they made descending thrust a charge move, and that IG is so heavily reliant on focus mode. Also, locking the full moveset behind triple buff kinda sucks (often times you're better off just using the charge attack into rising spiral slash, getting your extracts and repeat). Getting Arial bounce back is cool, but that wasn't my issue with the weapon.
@@RicochetForceso basically what you're saying is, you hated and or sucked at the IG before the changes in the Wilds beta, but the way it was in the beta is right up your alley? Cause you just said that the bounce and the infinite combo were the worse parts of the IG before, even though that's what you were supposed to do with it! 🤨🤨🤨 I mean, how else were you supposed to use it??? And exactly how was the infinite combo a bad thing??? That was the best part! That's honestly what made me fall in love with the glaive, all the way back in G/GU! And I'm sorry, but making the dive a charge move instead of being able to do it without charging is a step backwards!
@@raychaos5194no you don't understand, people aren't allowed to play the game how they want! They have to play in the most optimal way every time, always focusing on maximum DPS. Having fun bouncing through the air is NOT ALLOWED.
@@TheSidetrackYT oh man, you're right! WHAT WAS I THINKING??? Well, I better cut out all this having fun nonsense IMMEDIATELY!!! Thanks for setting me straight! From now on, OPTIMAL DPS ONLY!!!
I really hope they fix/buff the two counters of the switch axe because the sword form one in its current state its not worth using at all and the axe one feels like you should only use it once per hunt sens the monster ignores any other counter i think if the monster grew a resistance to the counter were you could get at least 2 topples and have the monster instantly get up on the third time and then completely ignoring the further counters could make the counter useful at least 3 times instead of only once per hunt
Offset attack is for you to counter an attack, minimize damage and prevent knockbacks. The topple is just an added bonus. You can mount topple, focus attack topple and offset attack topple. What more do you want?
@heyimurchin6575 I said what I want the issue is that 1. the sword version doesn't minimize damage enough to be noticeable, the counter attack is so underwhelming that it doesn't feel rewarding to land over even try and preventing knockback is only useful if the damage reduced is enough to make a difference a example "if a attack is strong enough or combo is strong enough to destroy you through a rocksteady then the knock back prevention either doesn't do anything or becomes more of a hindrance than a asset" 2. Regarding the axe mode the topple being a bonus that only works once per fight makes it seem less reliable especially with what you said about mounts, attack topples and so forth because it's inconsistent and doesn't really encourage you to use it more than once sens you still take damage well doing it and the follow up can miss because it no longer topples the monster it's not worth using more than once that's why I suggest making it work at least twice and the third time it doesn't topple but staggers the monster interrupting there move but not knocking it down and any more attempts after that work as it does after the first offset in current game because that way it gives you more of a reason to try it at least 3 times in a hunt instead of only being worth using once Edit: I don't remember how to use the Punctuations sens English is not my first or main language so I don't use it often in writing
@shadowbolthaseo1861 how about weapons with no offset? Seems like a topple is a huge dps window for those who have access to it. And the sword counter does minimize damage. If paired with skills that reduce damage taken it seems like it's pretty useful don't you think? It's also pretty easy to access compared to other weapons like the hammer.
@heyimurchin6575 yes but I am not talking about those weapons the best thing added to the switch axe was the sunbreak counter sens it needed a proper defensive tool but they removed and gave it two that tho I appreciate it having they both need fixes/buffs because as they were before they need a bit if improvements
@@shadowbolthaseo1861 But that's the point. SA has access to both counter and offset attack(and they are very easy to pull off) but other weapons doesn't. Why do you need more? The only problem I had with it was the time to ramp up the sword takes a bit too long and sword gauge can be emptied rather fast.
As a Lance Main i’m hyped I hope the Suto Shield Bash stays and the Focus move Victory Thrust also stays. With the Mid Thrust Changes. I loved all three of them. I know this will probably not make it but I hope my idea of Guard Dash into Shield Charge is liked maybe DLC worth Guard Dash R2+L+▲ → Leaping Thrust ● or Shield Charge ▲. Then when you are performing Shield Charge you can perform Leaping Thrust ● or Shield Bash ▲
They can bring back the aerial bounce, but if its at the detrement to its ground gane power, I dont want it back. The new playstyle was hella fun and did a ton of damage. The only thing I want to be changed is the button layout. Its way too clunky.
This is exactly my sentiment. I don't want bounce if they nerf our damage. Based on the gameplay so far, it doesn't seem like our damage has been nerfed, but I'm still worried about the day 1 patch bringing the nerf with the balance changes. I hope they don't feel like a damage reduction is justified, because aerial glaive does so little damage, and we don't have offsets, guards, or perfect dodges. If anything, the bounce restores some balance.
See as an insect glaive user i have different uses for it. Smaller monsters need the ground moves. Like velocidromes, baggys. All the the large land based monsters need the ground moves. Its the aerial monsters like rathians, Khezus etc that need the flying moves. You take away the bounce that essentially cuts our mobility and power in half.
@@rattango9819 then we got the bigger monsters like Alatreon and Xeno Jiva. Say you need a part that can only be obtained by breaking a horn or a wing. That part is like 20 feet above you and you can't get to it.
@@intri8116 dual blades lack the aerial mobility that insect glaive has. While it's great for ground combat it lacks the whole bounce back after being swatted out of the sky. Also I just learned the furious Rajang armor in rise is perfect for glaive users.
Used IG in World/Iceborne and Rise/Sunbreak, and sincerely I didn't like it so much because of the buff gathering and the aerial only focus, which dealt very low damage compared to other weapons and felt (at least, to my poor experience) like a way to sloooowly but safely kill a monster. Wilds Beta added the focus strike to gather buffs without launching the kinsect and removed the bounce to FORCE hunters to stick on the ground, and sincerely I found it much better and waaaaaaaaaay more effective at taking down monsters, maybe less safe? But nothing I (and I'm not a speedrunner nor a "pro", more like a casual player) couldn't manage to handle. The rollback on the bounce thing surely is to tune down the anger of WORLD IG mains. And I specify WORLD because in the previous game (GenU) IG wasn't an aerial focused weapon (Ok we all agree aerial style was the funniest). IMHO Capcom decided to add back the bounce just because World had the greatest audience.
Appreciate the willingness to give the Insect Glaive its identity back as THE arial weapon of the franchise. I still wish they would also look into the controller layout for Insect Glaive, because requiring a Klaw grip to use it just feels wrong...
Glaive main, glad there's been a rework, but for me I'd rather leave the bounce out and change the charge attacks to combo buttons, I'd much rather press tri and circle at the same time than try to hold circle whilst midair to do downward strike
"this time the insect glaive was meant to be stronger on the ground" guys, let's not kid ourselves, except for Rise the IG was always stronger on the ground, the aerial moves were great for dodging and repositioning while still doing damage
it will be difficult to relive the start of a new MH game without beardy bald man alex, but i am excited all the same. can't wait to see the content the channel posts
I'm very glad to hear about all this. The Lance and the Sword and Shield are 2 of my favorite weapons, but I felt very underwhelmed with both in the Wilds beta. Glad to know they're getting buffed
With all due respect to the development team the decision to make a grounded IG was insane. I admit I only joined the MH scene around 5 or 6 years but I never heard anyone say they wished they could have an IG without the bounce
I don't think the removal of the bounce was at the request of IG players, but rather everyone else. "Stop flying around and actually do damage". IG player: WEEEEEEEEEE! Sigh .......
It was more that the people who play solely in the air can create a very negative experience for those who are playing normally since you many people wind up carting midair constantly and doing next to no damage because they're spamming one of their lowest damage moves the whole quest
@@starboypluto Again, why does it matter? If an IG main plays IG solo, it doesnt really matter what he spams, and usually players only spam this move when learning the monsters movest, or when they're new to the weapon itself. Instead of hating the weapon, try hating the player instead. You don't get mad at the greatsword user for using the sideswipe instead of TCS, you get mad at the player. In the end it's still just a tool. I really don't get why people are so butthurt about the aerial capabilities of IG.
I'm pretty sure the origami monsters are caused by slow disk speeds. During the beta, I was able to briefly induce them in my own game by playing while my SSD was also busy copying files to another disk, and it went away when that operation finished. When the system requirements say "SSD required," they're not kidding. I suspect at least some people with origami monsters are trying to run it off of HDDs. But I wonder what causes those cases where just one monster does it while nothing else is affected.
What do you mean full release slash didn't pay off in terms of damage? The only way to keep up good dps was to spam full release slash. Axe and sword mode are what need better motion values
The hit-stop being in the game is the difference in playing Monster Hunter and Dauntless/etc. It's like playing Insect Glaive without aerial combat. It's the identity of IG just like hit-stop is the identity of MH.
@RicochetForce You say that like damage is the primary function of the weapon to begin with…? It’s the only weapon that can tackle aerial enemies at nearly all times and repeatedly trigger a mount from anywhere it wants. Insect Glaive is not GS- it’s not meant to be big damage. I can assure you any person who thinks of insect glaive isn’t gonna be thinking about the ground combat first.
@@RicochetForcenever been kicked from a lobby for doing that, nor have I kicked someone, maybe you people need to learn to have fun The only time I’ve ever kicked someone is the people that die twice in a hunt or bring a raging brachy weapon to alatreon
I can't believe that there are people now complaining that the IG bounce is back. What's wrong with more options? One of the greatest thing about IG is it's versatility and now people are complaining that it has more options in fighting. You can complain about the people that will just spam helicopter, but what about the times when it's actually useful(greater positioning, more aggressive playstyle with no downtime in damage, monster that stays in the air, etc.). Better yet what if they make aerial playstyle actually viable and deal more damage in the future. Just be glad that a part of your MH community is happy and don't be salty.
Really good to see them taking feedback about the weapons, but I'm still kind iffy about the change to offensive skills can only be slot into weapons since there is such a limited number of slots per weapon. Are we just gonna be limited in the amount of attack skills we can have now? That just seems kind of weird but I'll wait for the full release until I make any judgement.
give switch axe the midair dash strike after a ZSD like in rise and/or another dash strike follow up move after full release slash. Preferably short hop cancelable 😬 (can only dream, right?)
Who knows - maybe they show the trailer, revealing the ice area, with no Gammoth pictured in it … and just after it fades to black, you can hear a Gammoth's call (or something similar to that concept). I'd definitely be into such an idea … and such a “surprise” / bit of mystery definitely could uplift the excitement and hype even more for many people and fans of the series(, at least I guess it could 🙃).
No mention of charge blade is concerning. I really didn't like rise's version of svage axe and i would've preferred they kept the iceborne's version instead. Reduce the excessive hitlag on the axe hits and remove the need to hold down the button for the extra hits. That was always just an awkward inclusion and made the weapon feel uncomfortable to use. They should also make savage axe easier to get in other ways, Destroying wounds or perfect blocking in Mp setting was just frustrating, especially with teammates using a weapon that can break all wounds on the monster at once.
At least its helicoptering Helicopter helicopter 🎶🎵 There's this meme where they calculate every weapons damage and there's this IG main said, damage? We just helicopter the monster. Lol that was a good one. Will try the IG it has a good dmge but very good dodge capabilities.
Glad weapon skills aren't part of armors, Gunlance and Insect Glaive have an odd amount of skill overlap and with aerial returning I don't need a ranged weapon for flying monsters.
13:34 Good, honestly, bring it back and nerf its damage to steer players towards varying their combos. Now, IG aerial spammers can deal their whopping 30 damage they couldn't live without. 😂😅
I have very intense arachnophobia, to the point where I can barely use bug traps and repellent because there are images spiders and things printed on the wrapper/can. But luckily, *most* video game spiders trigger it. I love Lala Barina, shes so cool.
As much as I can respect the idea of Capcom wanting to give the IG a new feel to bring a sense of wonder and challenge to newer and older IG users, the aerial-focused combat was not something that needed to be messed with. I'm honestly very glad they fixed this and I will be buying this game on release based off that alone. Give people the tools and watch what they do with them. Restricting or removing options of combat should never ever be an idea that crosses the minds of a developer. Smash learned this the hard way.
Honestly happy about Guard being turned into 3 points instead of 5. Hope they do this with other skills as well like maybe evade window or even attack boost. I think 5 would be appropriate for attack boost since we should not be dedicating that many points to a skill to max it, especially with this new system with offensive skills on weapons.
It’s wonderful to hear the Wilds team has effectively confirmed that their game is in a finished state and is just being tweaked to fit certain parameters at this point. Way too often developers never settle on a “finished” state and constantly keep their communities in a state of suspension while they wait for what the final product should look like. Will say, I’m very much looking forwards to this.
I really hope they also bring back charge blade's manual SAED, as well as the ability to cancel SAED into savage axe. I missed it so much during the demo.
SO FREAKIN GLAD the bounce is back! And yeah, I get it, they wanted to try something new and get people to focus on it, but that was a shock to the system! You don't just COMPLETELY remove an established mechanic and expect people to ignore it and focus on the new with an open mind! Like I've said before, they should've made it an optional feature or something! To have the moves and not use them is one thing, but to not even have the option is just no bueno! However, with that said, it's back, as well as the fluidity it had on the ground as well, so it seems that all is well! 😁
For IG bounce is cool thats its back but dont think thats why the weapon felt bad for me, the problem for me is how the kinsect functions and also the finisher just doesnt feel right. Still think rise/sunbreak was peak ig and wish they built off of it more instead of making kinsect just underwelming and clunky being universal instead of being playstyle and focused on its strengths as it was sunbreak. Even sunbreak finished felt much better, but I'm glad we got a finisher at all cause we needed it.
about the insect glaive, I still don't think it's about the weapons identity. the bounce is nice, yes, but the glaive's identity throughout each and every game has been more about the bug. from world to rise to wilds, the bug has only been getting more features and getting stronger because of it. generations ultimate had the jellies to make your bugs, world changed that to just buy the type you want, rise said "lets add categories that make your bug super strong based on how you play it", and wilds just combined all of those categories into one super bug. and playing the weapon in each of these games has given the impression that the design identity is focused on that bug, not being the aerial weapon. that doesn't mean that they had aerial out of mind, they definitely added things specifically for it. but it never felt like the focus.
It's funny, if developers listen and communicate with the community, they can work together to make a good game. Such a simple concept yet a lot of developers nowadays struggle to do it😂 Can't wait for this game!
lol it’s honestly baffling how there can be people upset with the decision to return the bounce back to insect glaive. It’s a completely optional move yet people are somehow mad over how other people play. It makes no sense
i just hope they change the controller button's maping for IG... bounce back is cool & fun, yes, but it is not the major problem of the Wilds's IG. They have to find a solution for charging kinsect or glaive while you can turn around the monster without be forced to do the claw or have a 3rd thumb. I’m hopeful but I’m still worried. ^^'
I'm a little worried that weapon skills being locked to weapons means that I won't be able to as freely customize my builds anymore. I've been playing since MH3U, so I don't want to be stuck avoiding certain weapons or feel slighted because my playstyle doesn't suit using the skill they assigned to it, but the weapon is simply one of the best ones in end game. Hopefully we can change them out/augment them or something. VERY glad they gave back hitstops. Even on dual blades it gave my weapon some heft to my hits and made me feel like I was actually hitting a meaty monster. In the beta I felt like I was swinging through the air and it really threw me off. I just really hope they address the button mapping issues with the focus mode, as they are they cramp my hands.
Speaking of your weapon tutorials; since the game is releasing on multiple platforms, would it be possible for you guys to put the controls on screen for all devices? Your tutorials for World/Iceborne were amazing, but it would be nice to not have to mentally translate from PlayStation to mouse and keyboard.
Damn I was pretty hyped that I did not have to do those IG jumps for better damage anymore since it felt so good but after hearing that they bring it back I might not main IG in wilds anymore 😢
My biggest concern is if the game will be optimized for steamdeck, because the first beta was as we all know not very kind to us. And yes i have seen the specs required but i want to have a better answer before buying at the least a console and on the high end a new pc
my educated guess is that the armour symbol with a red line is indeed a crit hit, just against an armoured part, such as the veil, or the mud on barroth
I find it weird how I’ve played monster hunter since the first psp release and I’ve never noticed anything about hit stop. But after trying this beta I felt the weapons felt meatier and more satisfying to play. And this was without hit stop. Maybe I’m crazy. But I loved how it felt in the beta. Now that they’re adding it I wonder if I’ll be as satisfied with it. The thought of delaying my ability to dodge stuff purely because of freeze framing hit stop seems like a no brainer. Remove it and enjoy faster paced action. But hey that’s just me. So far this game has been exciting me more and more. One customization option I’d love to see one day is a dominant hand swap. I love sword and shield but it feels weird playing a left handed swordsman and shield on right arm. If there was an option to switch hands that would be fantastic!
Insect glaive is back at the top of my 2nd weapon list, and glad to see my beloved sns is getting some love. So nice to see devs actually listen to feedback. P.s. Only IGN would get carted by the training dummy...
I’m sure they’ll change it even beyond the changes we know about. They even told players they recommended them not to play ig in the most current build, because it will be significantly different during launch
@@RicochetForce oh my bad. I’m sure it will still be different by launch. They said that insect glaive changed the most, and adding just one move wouldn’t really make sense for them to say that
Ihope they can extend the distance the Kepping Sway like move with the hammer. It is a bit too short. Wish that it got a valor esq evade like the bow did.
I think IG was the one that most controversial during the beta for testing. I wont lie IG is my current main on my current rise playthrough and i will probably go SA IG on wilds
I have a bad fear of spiders, but the spiders of monster hunter never triggered it. In fact, I'm sort of delighted in hunting these monsters. Also, those small monsters that turn into blobs in arachnophobia mode. They are far more similar to mosquitos if you ask me.
Didn’t even think of this until just now but if 100 player lobbies are gonna be a thing could we possibly get massive raid bosses that require whole lobbies ?
My biggest concern with the beta was switchaxe being so bad, and my second biggest concern was that SAED could no longer be instant cast, and I really don't understand the choice behind that. SAED already takes a lot of investment to build up, and is a big deal to miss, why put it behind another wall?
as for hitstop, it was never a part of what made weapons feel hefty to me, it was always the sound design and damage numbers that gave the feeling of a weapons weight. Imo hitstop is pretty weird but id understand boosting it a bit from what the beta had, but they may have gone a bit too far lol. either way its not a big deal, though i dont like the increased animation time, feels really bad. I was really confused that people had such a large issue with it being reduced. as for everything else, great things. in todays day and age where developers tend to make games worse rather than better, its great to see theyre just adding QoL, buffs, or bringing back things like the IGs bounce. Very happy to see no nerfs.
It kind of is. Your Kinsey can already collect 2 buffs without having to buff it up, but idk if there’s a way to make it stronger or increase its stamina like world
@@teibdavies242yeah I knew of that 😊 but no feeding slinger ammo to the bug though 😢 but I guess it’s traded off for the insect swirling around in your combos more, for me it’s selfish immersion RP silliness of feeding my bug rocks, just amused me and added a little interactivity 😁
I see you also found that horny blob mode video 🧐🤣
They are so creepy lmao
I find it funny that it is meant to be a way for people with Arachnophobia to play the game. But honestly for me I find the blob monster that replaces them far creepier. But it does make me wonder something if that setting will effect the armor and weapons. That would be funny to see somebody wearing a blob armor because he can't see the Lala Barina elements of the gear.
The *what???*
@@Gep_05 Its new name is definitely Hentai mode. You wont convince me otherwise.
@@Gep_05 Arachnophobia is a fear of spiders and in this game you can make it where the smaller bugs are replaced with blobs as an attempt to help them out. Ironically the large monsters like the new one Lala Barina won't be affected by this change. As for what @Ms5000Watts meant was the way the blob is attacking the hunter. It looks a little suspect of it doing something else is my guess.
It's very refreshing to see a dev team not only directly respond to feedback so quickly, but also actually agreeing and making changes to improve the game in such a timely fashion. Were blessed with this team being in charge of MH
Hope this inspired others AAA game studio to do the same
Or that a lot of our requested changes were either already in the pipeline or already on the table. Felt really good to hear “yeah most of the bugs seen in beta we knew about and have already been worked on for the most recent version”
MH devs will always be GOATed for me, they never disappoint
We should indeed appreciate when devs are open and transparent. It's really cool the relationship MHW devs have with the fan community.
It is crazy how much information and gameplay is available months before a release nowadays. I remember looking at the back of the box to reat the 5 sentence description or the little booklet that came with games. Its cool tho
Yeah honestly Id much prefer to just fund everything out on my own.
I always find it interesting when people say this. If you want to go in blind, maybe try avoiding videos about the game you want to go in blind on. It’s totally doable! I am doing it for some of the games I am looking forward too!😊 Not hating btw, just some advice
@ it wasnt even mentioned in a negative way. Thats why i said still pretty cool in my last sentence. It was more of a “look how far weve come” comment
I know @tegridyfarms. The comment was for @fupplebupple but the reply system on youtube is weird. I am with you on the how far we have come, I remember looking at the back of the Metal Gear Solid 1 box for codec numbers.
Yeah I remember getting all my info from game informer id read it repeatedly just waiting for the game to come out and hope that the next month there would be new info 😂
Arekkz Gaming, it has been almost ten years ago since I discovered your channel for Monster Hunter content. I was playing MH4U at the time and I will never forget your kinsect guides! I had a relic insect glaive (the Gore Magala one) with your kinsect and the Star Knight armor set. Thank you for all the memories since then!
Thanks for the kind words buddy! love it when a channel OG drops a comment
This is…incredible! I’ve played the PS5 beta and had a blast, but definitely noticed a number of jarring issues. But the fact that they’re not only changing and fixing a number of things but listening to feedback and being very transparent about is such a breath of fresh air. Big W for the devs!
What Capcom does with MH is imo, the gold standard. Super transparent, amazing community support and feedback, genuine care for the game and attention to detail. Every other studio out there needs to sit down and take notes.
I wasn't in a Walmart this time, but one of my coworkers just ran to the bathroom. I was confused for a bit, but again, got immediately distracted by the notification for this video.
I saw your first comment so this made me chuckle
while i understand people in world used to say IG was basically throwing when they did nothing but Aerial Glaive (which they were), the point of the Aerial IG was to attack monsters that other classes couldnt hit. Lets be real, how often would you be waiting for a Flying monster to get close to the ground or land because you already used all your Flash Pods or something? IG can still attack it, causing it to get knocked out of the sky more often than not. Because of that fact, IG has little to no Damage Downtime, which a lot of people seem to forget
Yeah, that is the good part. The bad part is that is the only thing that most people focus on and then they act like that's the entire identity of the weapon (which I find very insulting).
One of the fun things in world for me as an IG main was that Lunastra, a monster MOST other weapon types hated fighting, had giant weakspots on her wings. So aerial play was actually the best route to fight her. You avoid ground blob fire, you deal extra weak point damage. Win Win.
I HATE flying monsters. Kushala triggers a special kind of anger in me.
@@Krescentwolf I was really surprised to hear how some people really hated fighting Lunastra in World (I don't play online so I don't tend to hear these things), as an IG player I never had issue with her.
@@RicochetForce Playing aerial does not "throw the match", I'm a solo IG player who loves playing aerial style and solo'd close to everything in World/Iceborne with no issue (and I didn't even use the clutch claw as I didn't like it). There were a few end game Elders (Kulve, Safi and Fatalis) I never solo'd as I never got around to seriously trying to.
Honestly, it took till Alatreon for me to tone down my aerial playstyle. Simply because of his super move. But with some practice I still solo'd him and AT Velkhana.
Playing aerial may mean we kill the monster a tad slower than if you were mainly doing ground attacks. But that's still not throwing anything. We still slay the monster in the end, just in our own way.

Gammoth is not in the game

Same, I mean the set up is still there. Gammoth would certainly mess up a food chain it moved to . And if the size is really an issue they could maybe make it a seige style quest.
The red dot/line above a number indicates a critical hit. You can see it well with gameplay showing critical draw
Awesome thanks! Thought it was but wasn't sure
I’m saying this as someone who has arachnophobia, something you might notice about Lala parina (pls correct spelling) is that it has only 4 legs. A major part of the arachnophobia trigger (at least for me) is the 8 legs, and if you look at all the spider monsters in past games (nerscylla and rakna) they haven’t got 8 legs, which helps prevent the trigger. You can tell their based on spiders, but they also miss that major trigger aspect that makes the arachnophobia alarms go mental
For me its the face.
I can say this bc i like Octopi and Squids.
I like those.
I dont like eight fucking eyes staring back at me.
Does it also have to do with the size? Like I'll get creeped out by little skittering bugs, but big ones don't get me at all
It's interesting you say that, I've always found garden spiders trigger the reaction but chunky tarantulas are almost cute to me! Orb weaver spiders though 🤮
It has 6 legs.
@@curlymcdomorb weavers are chill af
My 3 main weapons have been Lance, SWaxe, and IG since World started. So I'm happy to hear about the improvements coming. The addition of being able to bring a 2nd weapon has gotten me to add Hamma and Bow to the stable and now I feel like I have an answer for every monster type out there.
IG main and this change is great 🎉. I loved the weapon in the beta but missed the bounce.

No! We really appreciate youuuuu! Thanks for sticking with us😊
Thanks for going in depth by finding all these videos and blog posts of the demo players feedback and info from the devs as well. Great stuff.
0:30 thats all i needed to hear thank you
Hitstops also has to do with timing your inputs. Humans cant compete with computers reaction time so the hitstop mechanic allows for the brain to catch up. Sure some of us are faster responsive than others but there also has to be a specific moment in a combo where you have to make the next input. The hitstop allows for those moments to be distinct and easy to notice, something capcom games are notorious for being good at.
I want to manually activate savage axe. Loved the beta but that’s an adjustment to get used to for sure!
You can parry to activate it too but I know it would be better to just do it yourself. But atleast it's way more powerfull now with the non consuming phials thing or half consuming!
To be fair doing a weakpoint attack is so easily achievable it's pretty much the same as manually activating it
Thats true but u dont really wanna haveto fight people over wounds@ShikiRyougi05
Weakpoints are going to become a problem later in the games lifespan. If ranged hunters take all the wounds melee's are going to feel like they are griefing them. I see it happening especially with harder fights when melee's need their gauge refreshed. I see the same thing happening with luring pods. I wont be surprised if Wilds community becomes a toxic one.
@@SpecLeader101the timing for perfect guard is very generous. You can easily guard a roar, a tackle, projectile, or small barrel bomb every two minutes. That’s not even including mounts/ wounds.
Activating Savage Axe shouldn’t be an issue if you’re moderately decent at the game.
So much fantastic news here. SO happy to see hitstop back and that some weapons are getting a look at AND that they have toned down the monsters running away. I am a switch axe main and I am a little concerned that they will make it so that you are simply spamming full release slash as I dont enjoy that playstyle. I really hope other playstyles are viable. Elemental discharge and attaching to the monster is fun too. I dont want to be constantly just building up to full release slash over and over to play optimally so heres hoping they dont turn it into full release slash spam. Overall delighted with most of what I am hearing here!
Do you want other playstyles to be viable? Or do you want other playstyles to be optimal? Because there's only ever going to be one optimal playstyle, by definition.
To be fair, full release slash spam is a boring thing to be optimal. I think an easy fix is that if it takes up your whole gauge *and* the damage is to some degree based on how much gauge you have.
@@Sanctor95 I guess simply to have other playstyles not be far behind at least in terms of dps because as you said full release slash spam just aint all that interesting. I want to mix it up without TOO much of a dps loss. Time will tell. I really am delighted with most of these changes though. Hitstop being back is so good.
@Terron29 I can get behind that for sure. It's a reasonable expectation. But yeah it looks like we're eating good, hope they handle swaxe well, as well as lance.
Insect glaive is back! Thank you for listening MH team 😭
it never went away lol
As an IG main… WE ARE BACK!!!!! WE ARE SO BACK!!!!!!!!!!!
We were alsways gonna try your new ground combat dude. We love the glaive. The whole glaive. The ground combat, the air combat, the bug combat! Thanks for the objectively best weapon 🥰
Nothing more satisfying with this game's release than the devs hearing criticism, saying "that's an old build, we'll fix that," and then actually fixing that mechanic a month later. I got used to Nintendo's "gameplay is not final" formality they have on every prerelease game teaser these days, so it's nice to see Capcom's devs follow through on their word. Can't wait to see how this game turns out in February!
I don't have full blown arachnophobia, but definitely get creeped out by spiders and other insects. Personally, once they get to a certain size it starts to affect me less, like if I found a black widow I'd probably jump and get a fucking broom to deal with it, but if I've held a tarantula before and was totally fine. So for me, lala barina doesn't bother me much, but the weird spider/mantis/insect things in the Windward Plains give me the heebie jeebies
Man...I am glad that the Aerial Glaive playstlye was restored. IG needed something if it wasn't going to have access to Wild's new mechanics in "offsets" and "power clashes".
I can see the IG's new Rising Spiral Slash being a great ender after the full Vault Dance.
@@RicochetForcelmao if being in the air is such a problem for you just don’t use it or play a different weapon. No need to hate on the way other people play
So to sum up, my aerial IG is back baby??!!!! That’s all I needed to hear🤗.
Oh, and we still gotta do something about the awkward “hold circle” to do the cool move setup while trying to do everything else.
Idk I like the gold circle, it leads to a cool buildup to the big move, like negative edge in fighting games
Kind of hope they remove the charge move entirely, kills the flow of the weapon. Make it combo off of a diving wyvern instead of being charged, and remove the charge from diving wyvern.
We need 3 extract =free Earplug and Tremor resist. too
@@linkitude7432I think you just changed my mind on it. I didn’t think it was a negative edge.
I like the hold you can charge it while still doing other attacks so that you can use it as a combo ender*
Ok I do worry about the SA full release statement, I hope its mistranslation. I strongly hope that they do NOT focus too much on full release slash. The move is fine and mostly needs a minor buff and restrictions on its execution. What the weapon needs is better gauge management, faster ZSD out of double slashes, higher damage for swordmode, DIRECTIONAL MORPHS and better damage absorption (or complete immunity) on counters. Also a lot of the morph attack from rise did not make it back, and I do hope they make a return.
Yep, you can't cheat out faster zsd, and holding to use it means you can potentially miss and get stuck in the slow animation. Making it a pointless move everyone will avoid until fixed.
the insect glaive had a huge controversy everyone heard about…. wonder why it was the most played here.
everyone wanted to see how it played with all the changes. It was strong, but wasn't nearly as fun. And the controls were TERRIBLE
@RicochetForce I'm glad you enjoyed the changes. I didn't like that they made descending thrust a charge move, and that IG is so heavily reliant on focus mode. Also, locking the full moveset behind triple buff kinda sucks (often times you're better off just using the charge attack into rising spiral slash, getting your extracts and repeat). Getting Arial bounce back is cool, but that wasn't my issue with the weapon.
@@RicochetForceso basically what you're saying is, you hated and or sucked at the IG before the changes in the Wilds beta, but the way it was in the beta is right up your alley? Cause you just said that the bounce and the infinite combo were the worse parts of the IG before, even though that's what you were supposed to do with it! 🤨🤨🤨 I mean, how else were you supposed to use it??? And exactly how was the infinite combo a bad thing??? That was the best part! That's honestly what made me fall in love with the glaive, all the way back in G/GU! And I'm sorry, but making the dive a charge move instead of being able to do it without charging is a step backwards!
@@raychaos5194no you don't understand, people aren't allowed to play the game how they want! They have to play in the most optimal way every time, always focusing on maximum DPS. Having fun bouncing through the air is NOT ALLOWED.
@@TheSidetrackYT oh man, you're right! WHAT WAS I THINKING??? Well, I better cut out all this having fun nonsense IMMEDIATELY!!! Thanks for setting me straight! From now on, OPTIMAL DPS ONLY!!!
I really hope they fix/buff the two counters of the switch axe because the sword form one in its current state its not worth using at all and the axe one feels like you should only use it once per hunt sens the monster ignores any other counter i think if the monster grew a resistance to the counter were you could get at least 2 topples and have the monster instantly get up on the third time and then completely ignoring the further counters could make the counter useful at least 3 times instead of only once per hunt
Offset attack is for you to counter an attack, minimize damage and prevent knockbacks. The topple is just an added bonus. You can mount topple, focus attack topple and offset attack topple. What more do you want?
@heyimurchin6575 I said what I want the issue is that 1. the sword version doesn't minimize damage enough to be noticeable, the counter attack is so underwhelming that it doesn't feel rewarding to land over even try and preventing knockback is only useful if the damage reduced is enough to make a difference a example "if a attack is strong enough or combo is strong enough to destroy you through a rocksteady then the knock back prevention either doesn't do anything or becomes more of a hindrance than a asset"
2. Regarding the axe mode the topple being a bonus that only works once per fight makes it seem less reliable especially with what you said about mounts, attack topples and so forth because it's inconsistent and doesn't really encourage you to use it more than once sens you still take damage well doing it and the follow up can miss because it no longer topples the monster it's not worth using more than once that's why I suggest making it work at least twice and the third time it doesn't topple but staggers the monster interrupting there move but not knocking it down and any more attempts after that work as it does after the first offset in current game because that way it gives you more of a reason to try it at least 3 times in a hunt instead of only being worth using once
Edit: I don't remember how to use the Punctuations sens English is not my first or main language so I don't use it often in writing
@shadowbolthaseo1861 how about weapons with no offset? Seems like a topple is a huge dps window for those who have access to it. And the sword counter does minimize damage. If paired with skills that reduce damage taken it seems like it's pretty useful don't you think? It's also pretty easy to access compared to other weapons like the hammer.
@heyimurchin6575 yes but I am not talking about those weapons the best thing added to the switch axe was the sunbreak counter sens it needed a proper defensive tool but they removed and gave it two that tho I appreciate it having they both need fixes/buffs because as they were before they need a bit if improvements
@@shadowbolthaseo1861 But that's the point. SA has access to both counter and offset attack(and they are very easy to pull off) but other weapons doesn't. Why do you need more? The only problem I had with it was the time to ramp up the sword takes a bit too long and sword gauge can be emptied rather fast.
As a Lance Main i’m hyped I hope the Suto Shield Bash stays and the Focus move Victory Thrust also stays. With the Mid Thrust Changes. I loved all three of them.
I know this will probably not make it but I hope my idea of Guard Dash into Shield Charge is liked maybe DLC worth
Guard Dash R2+L+▲ → Leaping Thrust ● or Shield Charge ▲. Then when you are performing Shield Charge you can perform Leaping Thrust ● or Shield Bash ▲
The devs really deserve the best community support award next year. Their effort for their players should set an example for the gaming community.🏆🏅
They can bring back the aerial bounce, but if its at the detrement to its ground gane power, I dont want it back. The new playstyle was hella fun and did a ton of damage.
The only thing I want to be changed is the button layout. Its way too clunky.
This is exactly my sentiment. I don't want bounce if they nerf our damage. Based on the gameplay so far, it doesn't seem like our damage has been nerfed, but I'm still worried about the day 1 patch bringing the nerf with the balance changes. I hope they don't feel like a damage reduction is justified, because aerial glaive does so little damage, and we don't have offsets, guards, or perfect dodges. If anything, the bounce restores some balance.

See as an insect glaive user i have different uses for it. Smaller monsters need the ground moves. Like velocidromes, baggys. All the the large land based monsters need the ground moves. Its the aerial monsters like rathians, Khezus etc that need the flying moves.
You take away the bounce that essentially cuts our mobility and power in half.
You have no idea how many times i've cut rathian tails mid air.
@@rattango9819 then we got the bigger monsters like Alatreon and Xeno Jiva. Say you need a part that can only be obtained by breaking a horn or a wing. That part is like 20 feet above you and you can't get to it.
@@furionmax7824 welcome to dual blades lmao
@@intri8116 dual blades lack the aerial mobility that insect glaive has. While it's great for ground combat it lacks the whole bounce back after being swatted out of the sky.
Also I just learned the furious Rajang armor in rise is perfect for glaive users.
The switch axe outfit seen in the weapon trailer is from a new ice leviathan.
Used IG in World/Iceborne and Rise/Sunbreak, and sincerely I didn't like it so much because of the buff gathering and the aerial only focus, which dealt very low damage compared to other weapons and felt (at least, to my poor experience) like a way to sloooowly but safely kill a monster.
Wilds Beta added the focus strike to gather buffs without launching the kinsect and removed the bounce to FORCE hunters to stick on the ground, and sincerely I found it much better and waaaaaaaaaay more effective at taking down monsters, maybe less safe? But nothing I (and I'm not a speedrunner nor a "pro", more like a casual player) couldn't manage to handle.
The rollback on the bounce thing surely is to tune down the anger of WORLD IG mains. And I specify WORLD because in the previous game (GenU) IG wasn't an aerial focused weapon (Ok we all agree aerial style was the funniest). IMHO Capcom decided to add back the bounce just because World had the greatest audience.
Appreciate the willingness to give the Insect Glaive its identity back as THE arial weapon of the franchise. I still wish they would also look into the controller layout for Insect Glaive, because requiring a Klaw grip to use it just feels wrong...
Glaive main, glad there's been a rework, but for me I'd rather leave the bounce out and change the charge attacks to combo buttons, I'd much rather press tri and circle at the same time than try to hold circle whilst midair to do downward strike
I hope gammoth is as cool as everyone is saying. At least it will be a big target for me to release my TCS.
"this time the insect glaive was meant to be stronger on the ground" guys, let's not kid ourselves, except for Rise the IG was always stronger on the ground, the aerial moves were great for dodging and repositioning while still doing damage
it will be difficult to relive the start of a new MH game without beardy bald man alex, but i am excited all the same. can't wait to see the content the channel posts
I'm very glad to hear about all this. The Lance and the Sword and Shield are 2 of my favorite weapons, but I felt very underwhelmed with both in the Wilds beta. Glad to know they're getting buffed
With all due respect to the development team the decision to make a grounded IG was insane. I admit I only joined the MH scene around 5 or 6 years but I never heard anyone say they wished they could have an IG without the bounce
I don't think the removal of the bounce was at the request of IG players, but rather everyone else.
"Stop flying around and actually do damage".
IG player: WEEEEEEEEEE!
Sigh .......
It was more that the people who play solely in the air can create a very negative experience for those who are playing normally since you many people wind up carting midair constantly and doing next to no damage because they're spamming one of their lowest damage moves the whole quest
@@RicochetForce Why does it matter?
@@starboypluto Again, why does it matter? If an IG main plays IG solo, it doesnt really matter what he spams, and usually players only spam this move when learning the monsters movest, or when they're new to the weapon itself. Instead of hating the weapon, try hating the player instead. You don't get mad at the greatsword user for using the sideswipe instead of TCS, you get mad at the player. In the end it's still just a tool. I really don't get why people are so butthurt about the aerial capabilities of IG.
@@rattango9819 That hasn't been the case in World or Rise. These people absolutely do this in multiplayer hunts.
I'm pretty sure the origami monsters are caused by slow disk speeds. During the beta, I was able to briefly induce them in my own game by playing while my SSD was also busy copying files to another disk, and it went away when that operation finished.
When the system requirements say "SSD required," they're not kidding. I suspect at least some people with origami monsters are trying to run it off of HDDs. But I wonder what causes those cases where just one monster does it while nothing else is affected.
nope, SSD here and my rey dau looked like a pile of doritos all beta haha
What do you mean full release slash didn't pay off in terms of damage? The only way to keep up good dps was to spam full release slash. Axe and sword mode are what need better motion values
INSECT GLAIVE MAINS TAKE TO THE SKIES
The hit-stop being in the game is the difference in playing Monster Hunter and Dauntless/etc. It's like playing Insect Glaive without aerial combat. It's the identity of IG just like hit-stop is the identity of MH.

I can't believe that there are people now complaining that the IG bounce is back. What's wrong with more options? One of the greatest thing about IG is it's versatility and now people are complaining that it has more options in fighting. You can complain about the people that will just spam helicopter, but what about the times when it's actually useful(greater positioning, more aggressive playstyle with no downtime in damage, monster that stays in the air, etc.). Better yet what if they make aerial playstyle actually viable and deal more damage in the future. Just be glad that a part of your MH community is happy and don't be salty.
I had to scroll way, way too far to find another person who shares my mindset on this.
The red line above the dmg number is the crit indicator
No mention of changes to Charge Blade huh? Well this'll be interesting...
Ill sell my soul to capcom if they bring back manual saed and canceling saed into savage axe
Really good to see them taking feedback about the weapons, but I'm still kind iffy about the change to offensive skills can only be slot into weapons since there is such a limited number of slots per weapon. Are we just gonna be limited in the amount of attack skills we can have now? That just seems kind of weird but I'll wait for the full release until I make any judgement.
give switch axe the midair dash strike after a ZSD like in rise and/or another dash strike follow up move after full release slash. Preferably short hop cancelable 😬 (can only dream, right?)
Who knows - maybe they show the trailer, revealing the ice area, with no Gammoth pictured in it … and just after it fades to black, you can hear a Gammoth's call (or something similar to that concept).
I'd definitely be into such an idea … and such a “surprise” / bit of mystery definitely could uplift the excitement and hype even more for many people and fans of the series(, at least I guess it could 🙃).
No mention of charge blade is concerning. I really didn't like rise's version of svage axe and i would've preferred they kept the iceborne's version instead. Reduce the excessive hitlag on the axe hits and remove the need to hold down the button for the extra hits. That was always just an awkward inclusion and made the weapon feel uncomfortable to use. They should also make savage axe easier to get in other ways, Destroying wounds or perfect blocking in Mp setting was just frustrating, especially with teammates using a weapon that can break all wounds on the monster at once.
You guys do know the insect glaive is more than just the helicopter spam right?😂
The long sword is more than counter spam, but people would still be very upset that it’s gone.

There's this meme where they calculate every weapons damage and there's this IG main said, damage? We just helicopter the monster. Lol that was a good one. Will try the IG it has a good dmge but very good dodge capabilities.
Glad weapon skills aren't part of armors, Gunlance and Insect Glaive have an odd amount of skill overlap and with aerial returning I don't need a ranged weapon for flying monsters.
13:34 Good, honestly, bring it back and nerf its damage to steer players towards varying their combos. Now, IG aerial spammers can deal their whopping 30 damage they couldn't live without. 😂😅
I have very intense arachnophobia, to the point where I can barely use bug traps and repellent because there are images spiders and things printed on the wrapper/can. But luckily, *most* video game spiders trigger it. I love Lala Barina, shes so cool.
As much as I can respect the idea of Capcom wanting to give the IG a new feel to bring a sense of wonder and challenge to newer and older IG users, the aerial-focused combat was not something that needed to be messed with. I'm honestly very glad they fixed this and I will be buying this game on release based off that alone.
Give people the tools and watch what they do with them. Restricting or removing options of combat should never ever be an idea that crosses the minds of a developer. Smash learned this the hard way.
Honestly happy about Guard being turned into 3 points instead of 5. Hope they do this with other skills as well like maybe evade window or even attack boost. I think 5 would be appropriate for attack boost since we should not be dedicating that many points to a skill to max it, especially with this new system with offensive skills on weapons.
It’s wonderful to hear the Wilds team has effectively confirmed that their game is in a finished state and is just being tweaked to fit certain parameters at this point. Way too often developers never settle on a “finished” state and constantly keep their communities in a state of suspension while they wait for what the final product should look like. Will say, I’m very much looking forwards to this.
I really hope they also bring back charge blade's manual SAED, as well as the ability to cancel SAED into savage axe. I missed it so much during the demo.
SO FREAKIN GLAD the bounce is back! And yeah, I get it, they wanted to try something new and get people to focus on it, but that was a shock to the system! You don't just COMPLETELY remove an established mechanic and expect people to ignore it and focus on the new with an open mind! Like I've said before, they should've made it an optional feature or something! To have the moves and not use them is one thing, but to not even have the option is just no bueno! However, with that said, it's back, as well as the fluidity it had on the ground as well, so it seems that all is well! 😁
For IG bounce is cool thats its back but dont think thats why the weapon felt bad for me, the problem for me is how the kinsect functions and also the finisher just doesnt feel right. Still think rise/sunbreak was peak ig and wish they built off of it more instead of making kinsect just underwelming and clunky being universal instead of being playstyle and focused on its strengths as it was sunbreak. Even sunbreak finished felt much better, but I'm glad we got a finisher at all cause we needed it.
would the red mark be related to wounding? like you inflicted a wound with that hit?
about the insect glaive, I still don't think it's about the weapons identity. the bounce is nice, yes, but the glaive's identity throughout each and every game has been more about the bug. from world to rise to wilds, the bug has only been getting more features and getting stronger because of it. generations ultimate had the jellies to make your bugs, world changed that to just buy the type you want, rise said "lets add categories that make your bug super strong based on how you play it", and wilds just combined all of those categories into one super bug. and playing the weapon in each of these games has given the impression that the design identity is focused on that bug, not being the aerial weapon. that doesn't mean that they had aerial out of mind, they definitely added things specifically for it. but it never felt like the focus.
It's funny, if developers listen and communicate with the community, they can work together to make a good game. Such a simple concept yet a lot of developers nowadays struggle to do it😂 Can't wait for this game!
lol it’s honestly baffling how there can be people upset with the decision to return the bounce back to insect glaive. It’s a completely optional move yet people are somehow mad over how other people play. It makes no sense
i just hope they change the controller button's maping for IG... bounce back is cool & fun, yes, but it is not the major problem of the Wilds's IG.
They have to find a solution for charging kinsect or glaive while you can turn around the monster without be forced to do the claw or have a 3rd thumb. I’m hopeful but I’m still worried. ^^'
I'm a little worried that weapon skills being locked to weapons means that I won't be able to as freely customize my builds anymore. I've been playing since MH3U, so I don't want to be stuck avoiding certain weapons or feel slighted because my playstyle doesn't suit using the skill they assigned to it, but the weapon is simply one of the best ones in end game. Hopefully we can change them out/augment them or something.
VERY glad they gave back hitstops. Even on dual blades it gave my weapon some heft to my hits and made me feel like I was actually hitting a meaty monster. In the beta I felt like I was swinging through the air and it really threw me off. I just really hope they address the button mapping issues with the focus mode, as they are they cramp my hands.
Even if you can change the weapon skill I'm sure layered weapons will be in the game so it won't matter
Speaking of your weapon tutorials; since the game is releasing on multiple platforms, would it be possible for you guys to put the controls on screen for all devices? Your tutorials for World/Iceborne were amazing, but it would be nice to not have to mentally translate from PlayStation to mouse and keyboard.
4:32 nope, that's punishing draw skill. the next screen (with the gunlance shown) shows the actual offensive guard
Damn I was pretty hyped that I did not have to do those IG jumps for better damage anymore since it felt so good but after hearing that they bring it back I might not main IG in wilds anymore 😢
My biggest concern is if the game will be optimized for steamdeck, because the first beta was as we all know not very kind to us. And yes i have seen the specs required but i want to have a better answer before buying at the least a console and on the high end a new pc
Don’t know for sure, but my guess for the red line above the damage number is that it’s a negative affinity hit
my educated guess is that the armour symbol with a red line is indeed a crit hit, just against an armoured part, such as the veil, or the mud on barroth
I wonder if they made any changes to CB. I like to be able to SAED spam again.
I find it weird how I’ve played monster hunter since the first psp release and I’ve never noticed anything about hit stop.
But after trying this beta I felt the weapons felt meatier and more satisfying to play. And this was without hit stop. Maybe I’m crazy. But I loved how it felt in the beta. Now that they’re adding it I wonder if I’ll be as satisfied with it. The thought of delaying my ability to dodge stuff purely because of freeze framing hit stop seems like a no brainer. Remove it and enjoy faster paced action. But hey that’s just me.
So far this game has been exciting me more and more.
One customization option I’d love to see one day is a dominant hand swap. I love sword and shield but it feels weird playing a left handed swordsman and shield on right arm. If there was an option to switch hands that would be fantastic!
Sure it makes the game faster paced but hitting a tgs or golf swing in world felt like you were actually swinging the weapon bc of the fat hitstop
I am really excited about this release. I just hope that hammer is not getting much talk because it's already pure destructive awesomeness.
Insect glaive is back at the top of my 2nd weapon list, and glad to see my beloved sns is getting some love. So nice to see devs actually listen to feedback.
P.s. Only IGN would get carted by the training dummy...
What about the IG control scheme. Has it been changed?
alright cool, but insect glaive controls and triple up buff issues?
I’m sure they’ll change it even beyond the changes we know about. They even told players they recommended them not to play ig in the most current build, because it will be significantly different during launch
@@RicochetForce oh my bad. I’m sure it will still be different by launch. They said that insect glaive changed the most, and adding just one move wouldn’t really make sense for them to say that
Ihope they can extend the distance the Kepping Sway like move with the hammer. It is a bit too short. Wish that it got a valor esq evade like the bow did.
I really hope they don't dissappoint with SNS and Lance buffs. :|
I'm so happy about the skill separation change, even if we weren't getting two weapons.
I think IG was the one that most controversial during the beta for testing. I wont lie IG is my current main on my current rise playthrough and i will probably go SA IG on wilds
I have a bad fear of spiders, but the spiders of monster hunter never triggered it. In fact, I'm sort of delighted in hunting these monsters.
Also, those small monsters that turn into blobs in arachnophobia mode. They are far more similar to mosquitos if you ask me.
Didn’t even think of this until just now but if 100 player lobbies are gonna be a thing could we possibly get massive raid bosses that require whole lobbies ?
I have arachnophobia and no, the big spider monster does not freak me out as much as the small ones.
My biggest concern with the beta was switchaxe being so bad, and my second biggest concern was that SAED could no longer be instant cast, and I really don't understand the choice behind that. SAED already takes a lot of investment to build up, and is a big deal to miss, why put it behind another wall?
After DD2 I'll believe the performance improvements when I see them
as for hitstop, it was never a part of what made weapons feel hefty to me, it was always the sound design and damage numbers that gave the feeling of a weapons weight. Imo hitstop is pretty weird but id understand boosting it a bit from what the beta had, but they may have gone a bit too far lol. either way its not a big deal, though i dont like the increased animation time, feels really bad. I was really confused that people had such a large issue with it being reduced.
as for everything else, great things. in todays day and age where developers tend to make games worse rather than better, its great to see theyre just adding QoL, buffs, or bringing back things like the IGs bounce. Very happy to see no nerfs.
Any idea on what crossovers we will be getting?
Love that glaive air time is back
It kind of is. Your Kinsey can already collect 2 buffs without having to buff it up, but idk if there’s a way to make it stronger or increase its stamina like world
@@teibdavies242yeah I knew of that 😊 but no feeding slinger ammo to the bug though 😢 but I guess it’s traded off for the insect swirling around in your combos more, for me it’s selfish immersion RP silliness of feeding my bug rocks, just amused me and added a little interactivity 😁
@@magicspoon yeah that’s true but with this game your insect can actually attack with you and mirror your movements, which is pretty interactive
My problem was only the weird invite system but i see the intention and it will be fine when you get used to it...
