    Good to hear you say that flinch-locking [stagger-locking in Dauntless terms ;)] is something you'll only experience nearing the endgame. Even with the best gear and a full damage build setup it still can be hard to do so. There is a mechanic in the game that stops players - or at least tries to stop them - from staggering a behemoth while it is already staggered. To keep a staggerlock going you'll need to focus different parts of the behemoth and time your partbreaks to keep it stunned. So even in that there is still somewhat of a fun challenge :)

    *Alira is not the boss of the radiant escalation, Chronovore is. Alira is an exclusive boss to The Paradox Breaks, one of the many islands available to fight on.

      ​@@camrhodes9546when it first came i remember freaking out about its weird spinning atrack and how cool the elemental glyphs looked. It was a very cool experience to fight it and grind it's gear.
      Now however... i just do speed leveling and its annoying as hell to get alyra. Its not hard but seen as i mainly play hammer alyra just attacks too fast and gives me too little time to finish my combos.

    I definitely agree on the whole stun lock thing, really takes away the thrill of the hunt when the behemoths are constantly down. XD I'm already at endgame in Dauntless and while it can be satisfying defeating behemoths in under 5 mins or less, especially with stun lock, I really miss those early days where taking on a Rezakiri or a Shrowd felt like a true challenge, with Rezakiri being my favorite behemoth to fight and Shrowd being the most terrifying to fight. (I wonder how many people still remember the Shrowd and Hellion or Rezakiri and Kharabak dual fights, when dual fights were new to the game.)
    Anyways... Been playing the game since, I think it's called closed beta? When they were only sending out invites to a few select people to try out the game before it became public, basically. And while I'm kinda bummed things have slowed down by quite a significant amount, in terms of updates and such, I'm still pretty happy with the game. Certainly one of my favorite Monster Hunter type of games.

      I know how you feel man...i'm playing again with some friends since 2-3 days, and i'm in shock of how rezakiri and shrowd are a joke now. Even my friends are like "you had a hard time against that?!" yeah... weird how the game is now, i'm kinda lost. I don't feel the same sense of progression like before.

      I am a founder, but unfortunately did kinda leave the game. Mostly because the community had such a toxic view of having an iceborn build. I'm not trash at the game I just get a thrill for trading damage with an axe sometimes but that also makes health suffer, so why not self heal and be a berserker essentially?

    I will say. You have some of your info incorrect. Radiant escalation ends with chronovore. Yes, you can find alyra during escalation runs but its only guaranteed encounter is the old chronovore arena on Paradox Breaks, requiring chronostones (either from hunting on Paradox breaks, beating behemoths in escalation with the elder shields modifier, or doing the extra puzzle in radiant escalation for a 5th amp) to force Alyra to reveal itself

    Trying MHW for the 1st time, having played dauntless with friends several years ago.
    Immediate impression: *MHW Combat is... rough. PS1-era rough.* Weapon aim is cludged bad/terrible, prone to miss interpreting what you want to do and very over locked in direction. Movement and mobility in combat are terrible. *It feels more like monster-moshpit than combat.* But somehow the fact that *the world feels more alive, and exploration matters makes for a loop that quickly grows to fun.* And eats massive amounts of time. The game feels like it will continue a slow rampup that is ultimately kinda fun, in spite of the glaring flaws.
    *Dauntless (from several years ago): has fluid crisp visceral combat.* YOU did something. YOU failed to dodge - ouch! You got too greedy with attacks ignoring warning signs? Wham. You score a heavy hit breaking a part? Explosion, monster crumples for a bit, everyone dog piles to lay down damage with impunity. YOU need to blow that part off to get the material you need. Teamwork and clutch saving each other galore. It's very engaging. But levels just start to feel like arenas and the game gets a bit same-ie after a while.
    One of my favorite things was building up and saving the lances charge blast, then waiting for the owlbear to try to do it's flying swoop. Timing it, nailed it! Boom, the owlbear is stunned mid-flight, instead of swooping, it slams face 1st into the ground tearing up a furrow like a crashing shuttle.
    MHW will never give that moment. It will never feel as good as dauntless in it's good moments, but it still offers an experience that is overall a more stable fun and is a far less stressful game.

      @gwagner1380 Год назад +1

      In some platforms it still is hence why I stopped playing recently after coming back because my friend group wanted to try it out. Sure it is less buggy but still the fact that some lantern attacks still break the game after so long, well that tells me how much effort the Devs haven't put into fixing the game.
      I loved the game but getting still consistent game crashes is not fun and I really hate the monetization because I played before the club thingymabober was implemented and while hard, it was possible to prestige many weapons but now, if you don't have the boost of the hunter club think is called, even leveling a weapon is way harder.

      @@gwagner1380 hmmmm I don't think the problem here is necessarily the game itself, I don't see that many people complaining about game crashes on console especially bugs regarding the use of lanterns since if it was a common issue everybody would notice since lanterns are used a lot of times per fight
      Maybe it is something caused in your console by a faulty installation? Have you tried reinstalling the game or doing some kind of automatic file verification?

    • @gwagner1380
      @gwagner1380 Год назад

      @@mrkyurem5499 yeah I come in and out of the game and it's always the same lantern. The pangar lantern, the extra particles causes it to crash and it has been the same for at least ever since the ice normal escalation was implemented. I played on the switch which was by far the buggiest version and it still is. Play station is far better but again that lantern still makes the game crash seldom. I don't play in PC but the issue at least as far as the lantern was concerned is the particles it creates, when you get a nice endgame build where you can spam that ability the extra particles crashes the game and the thing is, it doesn't need much you can get the same result playing in public lobbies.
      I remember Devs taking notice of it because it was used quite a lot in ice escalation when it came out, promised to fix but my surprise some weeks ago when I came back with my group of friends is the fact that the issue remains.
      Again I am not saying that the game in unplayable, there's a huge difference between that and what I said but still, the fact remains that in game consoles the experience is well not as good as in PC and in some consoles, the game is worse than in others because there are issues from years ago still present.

    my main gripe with the game is that some monsters have skills that seem way too fast or way too wide sweeping for a human to dodge with skill rather than sheer luck. some bosses seem cheap like there is no way to evade a majority of their attacks. what i like about dauntless and wild hearts in comparison to monster hunter world is the art style. i prefer stylistic art rather than photo realistic which i think generally don't age well.

    I can say the game has kept me plenty entertained. I'm currently sitting at 18,000 hours logged.
    Gauntlet has been a breath of fresh air with the new cells.
    The silver sword grind and the golden striker grind was pretty brutal. But it was nice they brought the silver sword back when they did and fortunately they had a issue with the golden strikers quest bugging out so we were able to finish both weapons.
    Right now Axe and Hammer are all that's left for "reworking/refreshing/balancing" I am both scared and excited because some of the weapons so far were not received well because of the drastic changes they made.
    If they stick to their story the new weaponclass is supposed to be added to dauntless. Rumor is we are getting a Bow, but don't expect it to be a ranged weapon. That would require a coding overhaul on all behemoths, because none of them in their current form can handle a true ranged weapon (no repeaters are not a true ranged weapon)
    All in all I enjoy the game but the community and new players are what have kept me around, and now guildes are relevant so even more reason to stick around.

Also the way you enhance your endgame gear is miserable and feels bad to me. If you like the game more power to you and if you want to try it go for it. It's a free game. It just did not do anything for me.
