Can anyone comment on the multiplayer? Can't find any proper reviews for the pc version

At the time of writing the MP is a lil groggy , the game constantly dc's but im sure the devs are working on fixing this . thats my experience at least , may also have just been a steam thing :/ will test more this afternoon/tonight

All I can say is, I'm hooked!

So after biting down and pushing through the first 2 hours or so of the game to get past finding 'new' things the whole time which makes the flies and camera spaz the game is actually really fun, hard, but fun. What I would have liked though is some clear health indicator. Else it feels like you are hacking away at a monster for days till it either runs away, or you have slain/captured it...

So how does "ping" influence game play ? I played a bit of Dauntless some time ago, and fighting certain monsters was a pain on a 300+ ping Or can one play this "offline" ?

You can create a 'private' session and play solo/co-op or you can switch steam to offline mode to play fully offline.
While solo ping is a non-issue.

40 hours clocked from Saturday morning until 12 last night. Worth the money spent by far.

Sometimes.. This has been my first off weekend in a very long time (made sure to be off). I also built a pc recently just for this game so i was riding hype train with coffee in hand all weekend

I have not done much of the story, only HR 8 at the moment but i have played a lot with multi-player and such so if anyone has questions just tag me

The game works peer to peer and so far matchmaking has paired me with full ZA hunter lobbies i would like to reiterate what i said earlier though , the games networking is currently a steaming dung pod , and is rampant with disconnects hence all the negative steam reviews - literally everyone is just waiting on a dev fix rn :/

And they better bring out a fix for wide screen support. There is a massive cry on Reddit for them to give this option to gamers.

But I have noticed the DC whilst in the heat of battle. Very irritating.

When it comes to the DC while in battle. My buddies and i found that if i start the hunt and send flares so they can join, we don't DC. When my other friend starts the hunt, we DC often. Other than that we've noticed a quick restart fixes most of the DC issues.

My biggest issues is FPS which i am blaming my 8gb 1600mhz ram and i5 6400 for.

I am loving the game but when I lock on a monster using F and then when I fight him while locked on when I move the mouse it changes targeting to another part or monster

Play unlocked. the Auto targeting is complete BS.

At the pricetag I’m sceptical. Seems like Evolve 3.0. It looks like it will get very boring after 2 weeks. Am I wrong?

Played for a while and hit near end game and I am going to grind this game like I did with Guild Wars 2. A big chunk of my time is going to go missing with Monster Hunter World.

I have around 80 hours on ps4 so far and nowhere close to bored. The game has the sweetest grind ever. But it’s a niche game and won’t appeal to many. The combat is heavily dependent on timing and many attacks take a second or two to action. So it’s not hack and slash vibes. I rate it as top dollar in the jrpg genre.

there are quite a few weapons that are very much in the monster's face 24/7, The hard hitting weapons are slow but if you manage to hit... the sweet sweet damage satisfaction is real.

From what I understand, it's p2p but also needs to keep a connection to the server. So we are losing connection to the session "server" which in turn kicks you out of the multiplayer game. It's supposedly a problem between steam and the MHW servers.

On your minimap, on the monster icon, if there is a skull coming from it then it's close to death. that is the only indicator that I can possibly see.

The skulls is a indicator for if you want to capture the monster which is perfect or the missions where you must capture a monster.
As for killing it, you can either use the heartbeat (just to the right of the minimap), but this is about as clear as muddied water, or you can do what I do and hit it till it no longer fights back.

Charged Blade and shield, thats all i am saying

That damage hit it does damnnnnnnnnnnnnn when fully charged.

I prefer the dual blades, either the Decimation Claws or the Magda Ungulae II

I have however noticed a frame drop when using the Magda's due to rapid explosive damage while in Demon form (frames drop from like 85 to 35 if constantly attacking).

The big ass sword is higher with it's last hit I think. 300 dmg on average on it's last fully charged attack, about 700 if can land the whole combo.

 

[Ninjatsu]

Also using Greatsword, getting that last hit is so nice.
Just got to High Rank yesterday, need to finish off the optional quests and then continue.
SOS Flares do not work for me, and by the second quest the entire online system goes down. Really hope they get this sorted out as I am playing with a buddy from America.

 

[Miz3r]

Diablos is such a biatch,

I dodge all his charges and when he burrows, but that tail of his literally just comes near me and i die.
Grrr, and when you send a SOS out, the guys gets knocked out and bam mission over..........

Then rince repeat and happens all over again.

Getting so annoyed with this boss

 

[Ninjatsu]

I did Diablos solo recently. First 15 minutes was running around using slingshot to understand his attacks and to tire him out. Then the next 15 minutes was actual fighting.
Just make sure all your armour has been upgraded with the Armour spheres, I also used Legiana helm which gives a random chance to take less damage. When he burrows just run sideways, then as he unburrows you have enough time to get in 1 attack and back off again. Every time he takes a single step forward he is going to charge at you, and that normally has a follow up of tail swipe.
Take 2 traps and then enough materials to make another 2 traps during the fight, in fact you can head over to one of the camps to eat and grab stuff from the tent again (more traps). 1 trap should allow you to get a full weapon combo + a few extra hits of damage before he gets out of it.

Yea, Diablos is a bitch. what's worse is when you busy taking him on and bazelgeuse decides to pop in to say hello. Just sheath and run... don't fight. You won't win.

Pfft xD

Get screamer pods, as soon as he burrows, shoot one in the general area above him. He pops his head out and you can land a few hits right on his face, then run like hell. Though, when he's enraged don't use the pods, they don't do jack. A bunch of us decided to go nuts on him. 1 gunner with utility weap, 3 heavy swords. Make him sleep, put ALL the bombs by his face. heavy sword users walk into him, dash back once. Then combo and their last hit lands. BOOOOOM 900 damage from the swords, another 300 from the gunners special ammo and another 500 or so from the bombs. Diablos = D.E.D

I finished the story. So the real grind is going to begin now. There were some tough irritating fights at times but what a good game. About 90 hours so far.

You mean the real fun* starts now

 

[Deku]

A tip I can give is flash pods always make sure you have flash pods when fighting flying types makes an annoying fight actually very easy. Most of the flying types can only use ultimate moves when airborn ground them and it's awesome
