In keeping with the good vibes above I am loving that as I continue to learn the Charge Blade I continue to improve and find new things I can do with it.
I really feel like I am learning the weapon, and the fact that there are so many different weapons and styles with which to do this, and my impression has been a similar variety of monsters to try this on, is just so exciting.
And hitting an enemy with the super amped element discharge is such a satisfying feeling holy shit.
This is the way I feel about the long sword now. Especially after completing a spirit combo and knocking a mob down to lead to another spirit combo/anime slash.
I don't even really use the dodge move and I still feel I'm doing some good things.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
If you really struggled the first time around, you can also see how much faster you clear the content the second time around.
Me though? Fuck farming those crakes a second time around. And I still haven't completed my first guild card yet. I need to really focus on the event quest before it disappears.
For me screw doing the arena grind for my sword. Like I could see helping someone else by doing some arenas, but those to me are anti fun and the thought of doing like 45 more of them for the cheevo is like "NOOO NOOOO"
I like the Arenas. I've almost made me third weapon. Diablos just wouldn't drop my final Ace Hunter Coin 3 times in a row.
Also props to @Hahnsoo1 for being really good with the other anime weapon: the bow. We got an A on the Jay Lenos and beat my previous best time on them by a minute.
...and then I tried out non-main weapons forna change on Diablos's and got carried...
I'm gonna have to go back later to the earlier/easier arenas eventually to craft the armor set for looks.
Story time! Finally got to fight Kush for the first time.
He moves a lot, and when I finally catch up to him he keeps farting on me and knocking me down before I can hit him. I cart a couple of times but manage to get him back to his "lair". He proceeds to drop 800 tornados and I spend so much time dodging around and looking for a place I can stand for 5 seconds he carts me again.
Wow, that was NOT fun.
Round 2. I'm smart, I brought wind resistance armor this time. It's not as strong as my other armor, but I should be fine, right? Wrong. Kush decides to go Category 5 on me and I cart 3 times... fast.
I'd like a better weapon, but I want Nergi talons and that fight was incredibly hard. The idea of farming it does not appeal to me so I think to myself, I got 70 hours out of the game, that's pretty good! I don't mind a hard fight, but Kush is just horribly designed. NOT FUN.
Well, I got some time to kill. I'll finish up some of these optional quests and mess around a bit. I manage to get a piece from Tobi I was missing for my new thunder glaive and decide to try Nergi one more time before calling it a night. I forgot to replenish my pouch so I have 1 max potion and 5 regular potions, but it doesn't matter. I destroy Nergi in 15 minutes without ever using the max potion.
Maybe, I'm getting better? Fight him a couple of more times and craft my Nergal Reaper. Elderseal huh?
Kush doesn't stand a chance. I'm back!
Did you bring flash bombs? If you're packing 3 along with 10 flashbugs to create more when you run out, then Kush becomes a super easy fight.
I dropped into an SOS group with a bunch of experienced Japanese players and we basically took turns flashbombing Kush out of the sky and wailing on him. Poor guy never even got close to his death nest.
I am getting very sad about all these exclusive quest/costume things being ps4 only/nothing for the xbone. Fuck you capcom. Guess i shoulda bought it for ps4

And bombs, always bring bombs for elder dragons, so you can blow what's left of their face off if they do go to sleep.
Also also (unrelated), I really want to try out the arena stuff. I've just gotta work more on learning more weapons before I try it since I'm only really good with IG and decent with hammer and HBG.
Could somebody please explain to me exactly how to load and fire special sling ammo (flash pod, dung pod, etc.) in intricate detail? I don't think I'm doing it right.
Want to find me on a gaming service? I'm SwashbucklerXX everywhere.

Select the ammo using the item wheel in the lower right.
L1 + circle or square.
When you have it selected hit square.It will say under it unequip or unload or something if you did it right.sometimes it doesn't register right so try a few times.
Now use the slinger and it should be what you have loaded.
Mostly just huntin' monsters.

I'm not sure I will ever be able to love a weapon outside of Charge Blade. The versatility/depth it has is insane. SnS is mobile, defensive, and not shabby at damage output. Axe is a long-reaching, high dps monster. Being able to switch between the two is crazy, but then combined with the depth of charging phials/shield/sword and its just so great.

1) Highlight the Flash Pod in your inventory by pressing Left or Right on your directional buttons or scrolling with L1+O or L1+Square.
2) Sheathe your weapon
3) Press Square to activate the Flash Pod. It will displace any current ammo in your Slinger. It should say "Unequip" underneath the Flash Pod in your inventory, which means if you press Square again, it will unequip the pod.
4) While your weapon is still sheathed (except for SnS), press and hold L2. This brings up a targeting circle.
5) While holding L2, press R2 to launch the item with the slinger.
Again, it displaces any current ammo in your Slinger, and if you pick up Stones or other Slinger ammo, then the Pods become unequipped. You can only launch stuff from your Slinger if your weapon is sheathed or you're knocked down, unless you are using Sword and Shield.
Learning how to use the Slinger is a strong skill for hunts. A lot of Slinger ammo, while it doesn't deal much damage, can flinch a monster. You can knock Kulu Ya Ku's rock/egg out of his hands, for example.

I wouldn't be surprised if Xbox got some exclusives later too. Unless Sony paid Capcom a lot of money not to.
4) While your weapon is still sheathed (except for SnS), press and hold R2. This brings up a targeting circle.
5) While holding R2, press L2 to launch the item with the slinger.
Pretty sure that's backwards, should be hold L2 and fire with R2.

It is! Fixed!
A sign of my old age is that I'm frequently mixing up Left/Right and East/West. :-P
Tempered Teostra is a pushover. Tried it a couple of times to get more experience with the long sword, with SOS, and it was over in less than 10 minutes both times and it got absolutely shredded. The randoms I'm playing with online are getting really good making sure the monster doesn't gets to switch zones even once; I need to change my usual routine where I sharpen when we switch locations because that's not a thing anymore with those flying monsters.
I've started taking some speed sharpening so I can get a quick sharpen in when the beastie turns on my palico or whatever; the elders don't get to run, except for Nergi

I'd be shocked as fuck if the xbox gets anything exclusive. Like that we got the game at all is our exlusive.

I obviously don't know the details of the Sony-Capcom deal, but if Xbox didn't get something as essential as a beta and working multiplayer for launch I doubt we'll see any exclusive outfits. Or even any multi-platform collaboration/event outfits.
I mean I love the game, love that we actually got it. But I am getting tired of Sony swinging their dick to get exclusive lasting content on multi releases.

Off-Topic, but: it's more that Microsoft's Xbox division ISN'T doing the same work cultivating relationships with studios, and it shows. They've had some pretty major leadership changes in the past few years as well, which doesn't exactly foster stability and vision. Basically, they are suffering the exact same problems that Sony was having during the early PS3 era. And it's going to take a similar level of aggression from them to be competitive again, especially now that Nintendo is back in the mix (and truth be told, from my perspective, they ARE doing some of that work! Their gamepass thing, for example).

I dunno if I buy that reasoning. We know with destiny its Sony backing up the money truck. I don't think its on microsoft, I just think they aren't in the power position that Sony is. And honestly seeing what Sony has done on top its worse for gamers when they are versus literally anyone else.

I absolutely don't mind not having some games, exclusives are what they are. But the trend of getting a game and then having to endlessly hear about all the "events" they're doing and you just don't get to do fucking sucks. It's all in perspective, I'm not gonna let it ruin the otherwise fun game for me, but there's nothing good about it. And I don't really the reverse situation would be any better for anyone else.
Going back to my previous question for Lance users:
Having obtained a Lance augment, and wanting to make a Lance anyways, should I craft Perdition's Hand (I have all the materials to go from basic Lance to that) and augment it, or should I save the augment for a different weapon (and make Perdition's Hand anyways, seeing as it's GH's #1 Lance)?

Yeah exclusive or time locked content of like a year + is the real shit that drives me nuts. Feels like I'm not getting the full game because I'm not.
I mean for the opening weekend the Xbox didn't even get functioning multiplayer...

Oh, is that why we can't buy the street fighter outfits but can buy the emotes? I mean, I would imagine that they're using the Street Fighter V versions of the characters which is why they are exclusive (design/etc) but the hadoken and shouryuken are kind of universal/exist at the idea level? IDK.

Sounds like Affinity is the augment to go for?
Perdition's Hand is still the only lance I have that's augmented. And the correct augment is Health Regen.
Think about why you usually get carted as a lance. It's because you sheathed. Health Regen reduces the need to sheathe.
An extra... I dunno, 10 damage in 1 out of 10 pokes is not really worth it IMO.
Man I hate after you deliver an awesome anime slash and then you like poke finish a monster. That's like the scouring of the shire of finishes to a hunt!
I love when a quest finishes while I'm out of melee range of the monster. The end-of-quest screenshot makes it look like I was just standing around, idling.
I've seen one on reddit where a group killed the monster as one of them was at the canteen getting their stamina back.
So of course the end quest screenshot shows this one hunter freeze-framed with their face in the food.

Tried out pierce gun on xeno. After 2 carts I had to finish him off with lance. I dunno how you guys doing so much damage. Need some decos to gem in some gun skills. Pierce up, weak exploit, and attack was all I had to boost damage.

They do have Killer Instinct though, which is really good.

The chief thing is to wait until its chest turns red and unload on that. Otherwise use Wyvernheart on its face, or also Pierce Ammo along the length of its body.
And odn't get hit, that's pretty much rule 1 on that thing

I walk up to the Rathian and poke it.
It dies.
I had that exact thing happen last night with pink rath. I was doing the duo quest and yeah hit a red charge anime slash, nothing. Follow up poke he goes down. Sadness.
