@G0ffThew All of which actually makes the ink eat the card faster, not slower. Gotta let the cards breathe if you don't want them to eat themselves.

Getting a worthless piece of plastic to protect your worthless piece of rubber that protects your worthless piece of plastic that protects your overpriced piece of cardboard

@J4ckOfAllTradez @BannedDino Was actually neutral on both of them! If anything I think I preferred World since it actually interacted more with its mud mechanics, and felt more like it belonged in its position in the difficulty curve.

@RedmondStache @BannedDino Hated Wolrd Jyuratodus, loved Rise Jyuratodus?

Did you despise a monster in the past, but have come to love it recently?
Did the reverse happen to you with another monster (You went from loving it to despising it)?

@BannedDino Been a switch axe main since I started, back in Tri, and Tri was easily the worst the weapon has ever been. Needing to insert a deliberate pause into your inputs to avoid Wild Swing was annoying.
Loved Sunbreak Rapid Morph swax, but Wilds swax comes close.

Do you feel your favorite weapon (GS, SnS, Bowgun, etc) needs something more? What is your favorite and least favorite iteration of said weapon?
Is there a weapon you want to use but have been hesitant about trying? Does it need something more/less to convince you?

Do you feel anything has been lacking in Monster Hunter recently? When I say "recently," I'm not strictly talking about 6th Gen. It can also be 3rd Gen, 4th Gen, and or 5th Gen.
English
@BannedDino The fact that it starts playing when Lao gets to the final area and not when the hunter accomplishes something (like hitting Lao with the dragonator) always made me feel like it was playing for Lao and not for us. The dragon itself was the one facing adversity to come this far.
English
I may not enjoy hunting Lao-Shan Lung, but Proof of a Hero gets my blood pumping during that final phase of the fight.

@Oceaniz96 I mean, that's a thing that happens in real life, too. Look at any list of absurdly venomous or poisonous animals.
Evolution doesn't have a defined end state, so there's no reason for it to just stop once a trait reaches the "effective enough" threshold.
English
An interesting detail across all of Monster Hunter ecology is the repeated implication of "over-evolution", traits that originally developed for a mundane purpose that then went further beyond for unclear reasons
It comes up constantly, from Ioprey to Deviljho. Curious...

@BannedDino Snake wyverns just can't catch a break from anyone, huh.

Fun Fact: In the 2nd Gen, no small monsters (Excluding Vespoid) would appear in a locale with an elder dragon.
In Rajang quests, it was the same thing: no small monsters (Excluding Vespoid) would appear in a locale with Rajang.
BannedGammoth@BannedDino
Rajang doesn't have a fixed habitat and moves from place to place in search of prey. Rajang's presence (Its "rage" or "fighting spirit") can be felt by other creatures, and this causes prey items to gradually leave its current territory.

@Oceaniz96 Man, calling 3U mid while simultaneously cursing and praising MHFU? Bold takes.

@BannedDino Would it hurt more or less than what we did to our poor Soulseers' eyes between hatching and riding them in Stories 2?
English
I wonder if we can force Narwa into becoming Allmother.
Kogath@MHKogath
Ibushi and Narwa confirmed for Monster Hunter Stories 3!

@aevanko Honestly spent most of the last 33% with the Magia Charm out, making sure to hang onto my hearts and petting my Dreadqueen trio.
English
@aevanko I used the hammer for my clear, but given that I got exactly one blast proc and hardly ever bothered to time my staggers I don't think it'd have been much different with any weapon.
Just gotta focus on always having 2-3 monsties with kinship, and Derring Guard in emergencies.
English
10 hours of trying to beat Espinas I can get him down to 15% but always something. I need a new strat or something it’s killing me lmao
English
@PikminJakob I mean, if you REALLY want a direct translation, it's "super-heavy halberd-wings," so even "Heavy Wings" is an adaptation of the name.
English
Also “localization team deciding on a cool!!! hype!!! name for the BGM, instead of the direct translation name that the community already adopted” strikes again.
The song is “Heavy Wings”. Not “Wings of a Titan” or whatever.
English
I think I like the Wilds fight more than the 4U fight.
However I ALSO think the fight is messy and stumbles at the end. I don’t think it’s honouring Gogmazios’ strengths or character.
But perhaps it doesn’t matter because I still find it more interesting than the original.
English
@BannedDino She called us Squiggle in Gen/GU, so I think we'd be more likely to get some new art-related pet name.
English
If she returned in 6th Gen and called our hunter "Doodle," I know a bunch of fans would have a heart attack.
All they need to do is mention that a Brachydios has been spotted in the Forbidden Lands, and she is bound to pop up.

-Gemma's plushie was made by a "dear friend". Doodles which have similar style to the plushie can be found in Dundorma's archives

@BannedDino And a tiny one also existed as a mount in MH Riders, did it not?
Not that that means anything.
English
However, the MH Team could easily make up an excuse as to why Abyssal Lagiacrus can suddenly be fought on land if they really want to resurrect it.
Note: We could fight Abyssal Lagiacrus on land in Monster Hunter Explore, a mobile spin-off.
English
As far as we know, no.
Abyssal Lagiacrus' size and weight are a hindrance on land, which is the main reason why it sticks to the water. Compared to the smaller Lagiacrus and Ivory Lagiacrus, Abyssal Lagiacrus can't move very well on land.
If it returns, it will need UWC.
RandomNPC@RandomNPC455
@BannedDino Can Abyssal Lagiacrus spend time on land? I would think they could if an Ivory could age into one, but they're fought exclusively underwater.
English
@MoofahMelody But do you use the same standard for monster names? They're also only rarely changed between JP and MH language. Mostly just changes in syllable stress, like Garangolumu to Garangoluum.
English
@retrotink2 You're right. These systems aren't properly aligned. You really ought to get them squared to one another and the displays they sit on.
English
@MoofahMelody But I'm willing to bet they did it specifically because that style of singing doesn't have the same significance outside of Japan. In Japan it has historic and cultural impact. Elsewhere it's jarring and unusual. Localization is about translating experiences, not lines.
