There isa problem with the PC version. Make sure you have these codecs installed before you get to the final boss or the game will save right before an unwatchable cutscene which will make your game unplayable.

They typically did a reveal video with content updates in World. Still might happen, I suppose. Not sure.
I mean they basically told us what's in it, but yeah that's kind of normal-ish. It could also be they're falling behind due to trying to fix other stuff (like that DLC emote hardlock issue). Who knows?
Let me ask this a different way- I can easily build Archdemon Mode, dodge attacks, and hit silkbinds.
What I'm trying to figure out is what I should be doing for optimal DPS on a fight when I have openings. I'm running Piercing Silkbind/Feral Demon/The Jump move on A.
Right now what I tend to do is build up gauge, hit a piercing silkbind and if I have an opening mash X+A. If I don't have a big opening I'll just hit a few X combos, or do the vaulting dance with A->X->A to pop the silkbind.
Is that....right? Am I missing anything?

I'm still a dualblades newbie so I can't help, but I don't like how that one switch action that makes your A launch you also applies to your draw attack. It makes it really awkward to initiate, given that I usually don't want to launch myself right away. I don't want to have to switch it just for monsters that I really want to launch up against, though.
You can draw directly into Demon Mode with (Z)R+X+A*. It still has a small attack attached to it but you won't vault.
*EDIT: I guess the default for this is ZR but my muscle memory welcomed the option to swap ZR and R.
I can't seem to replicate this. I mean, just hitting ZR causes you to go into demon mode from having the weapon sheathed, but there's no attack and it's not great for approaching enemies . With feral demon set, there is a bit of an attack attached to it, but that happens no matter what. I would still rather do a draw attack that's not demon flight and then activate demon mode out of that.
While testing this, I also learned that the problem I'm having only applies to when you're in archdemon mode.

Loads of them, and yes you'll need a lot in the charm. My talisman is fucking sick, 3 EE and 1 EW with a 3 slot
Here's what I've got:
Night Owl w/Attack
Rhenoplos Helm S w/Quickload
Shell-Studded Vest S w/2 Absorber
Rathalos Braces S w/Attack
Golden Obi w/ Absorber
Golden Hakama w/2 Quickload
Fatal Tempest Talisman w/ 3 Evade Extender and 1 Evade Window w/Attack
Total Skills Are:
Attack Boost 5
Crit Boost 3
Pierce Up 3
Reload Speed 3
Recoil Down 3
Evade Extender 3
Plus a bunch of other 1 offs
Yeah, I managed to guess most of that just by looking at skills available. With Pierce 3 and Boost 3, unless you had 1 point of either on a Charm, you are kind of tied to Rhen/Shell/Golden.

Run 7* rampages online, get a pile of various monster materials and Defender Ticker 7. Pour the tickets into the melding pot.

Oh. The 4th one that's totally random. Wisp of Mystery? And then every so often dump all the bad rolls into Rebirth.

I rotate around Narwa, 7* Rampage non-Apex, and 7* Apex runs because variety and all that. Some folks may enjoy just grinding one thing, though.
For all of them, bring two Gatherer kitties. No puppers are really needed for transportation.
it's a doozy
tbh the situation here makes me miss charm farming in the volcano, at least it was faster.
Using armor with flinch free already on there.
Also as a long sword user having a cat named trip rude? or rudest?

The other night, HR Mags caught me with the edge of his hitbox during a tail swipe, which resulted in me being tossed into the air. Before I recovered, he leapt underneath me, clouded the area with Hellfire, and killed me with an explosion before I'd even touched the ground. Total bullshit, lol. Literally barely touched me, and fucking globaled me inside of an air juggle.
I literally had this same death this morning in what was a double cart situation that almost cost us the hunt, I felt so bad I didn't wire bug out of the air toss.
pleasepaypreacher.net
Sometimes I feel like that's the devs testing my ability to wirefall. But then there are attacks where I wirefall into a bigger attack? Monsters are hard.

i have to pop a potion after every hit
if anjanath brushes me with his legs twice and does chip, i have to heal
Only so many times you can farm the final boss, and if I see one more rarity 7 affinity sliding/master mounter charm I might actually explode.
Anyways, I reinstalled MH:W again cause I'm fiending, and I quit iceborne before the Alatreon/Fatalis update so I'd at least like to do those fights.
Having got one shot carted when I had chip damage, I worry very much about not drinking and thus taking that big hit
pleasepaypreacher.net
Then I fought Ahtal-Ka, and I'm like "Oh yeah, this weirdo".
Okay, so not exactly as I predicted.
As always, it's a very comprehensive guide to the weapon. Obviously my write-up was more focused on some of the changes to Kinsects and the addition of Switch Skills, as well as my recommendations for what I personally run.
This corresponds roughly to the "Which Switch Skills are Right for You?" portion of Arrekz's video (around the 28 minute mark).
Now, I will say that his guide covers something important that I didn't talk about that, in my opinion, does have a bigger effect on your kinsect choices than people seem to think.
And that is animation cancelling Tornado/Tetraseal Slash using ZR+X or ZR+A (Fire Kinsect and Recall Kinsect, respectively).
Arrekz, like most other people chasing the meta, seems determined to push the Carnage Beetle (a Blunt-Type kinsect that always grabs Red Extract) as the "meta" choice. While Arrekz does say "your choice will be whichever you feel best with", it's pretty clear that he and many others think this is the number one kinsect to use.
I'd like to make a gentle case for Speed-Type kinsects, in particular the ones that have a Charged Combo attack. These are the kinsects (Bullshroud and Grancathar, I believe) that do a series of attacks once they reach blue charge level sitting on your arm. While it's true you get to triple-up a bit slower, most of the time during a ground combo you should be using the ZR+A/X to recall your kinsect to cancel the end lag and keep the DPS going. The thing is...most of your combos last just enough time for the Kinsect to reach full charge!. If you shoot a fully charged kinsect at a monster head, recall it on the advance, and start a ground combo, by the end of the longer X+X+A+A combo the kinsect is generally fully charged, so animation cancelling into Fire Kinsect and not recall kinsect sends your charged kinsect directly at the monster at close range, all but ensuring the multiple hits land.
If using a blunt type this can lead to some incredibly quick staggers and breaks, and if using a severing type this can lead to some very fast tail cuts.
Add on to that fact that (unless I'm mistaken) the triple-up buffs for Assist-Type kinsects last less time than Powder and Speed type, and there's some decent reasons to not just stick directly to assist types as "the best choice". I switch between Assist and Speed pretty regularly on my hunts, mostly based on how easy it is to get a monster's red and white extract. If they're easy to get, I tend to use Speed types, but if they're harder to get I tend to use Assist types.
I'm still playing around with Powder-type kinsects, and while I appreciate the buffs they also received (most powder-type kinsects spread two kinds of powder, which is neat!), I generally don't feel like they're worth using. I've enjoyed using the high-rank kinsect that spreads healing powder, because it lets me be a bit more aggressive if I'm not using recall kinsect as my switch skill. Most of the time the powder is in the air, and I tend to spend most of my time in the air, so it's great for keeping me topped off. On the other hand, the status build up for poison and paralysis kinsect powders is very bad. I've played around with a neutral glaive and status powder kinsects, and I typically only get one status application a hunt, generally at the very end.
Now, when I use a status based glaive, I can get multiple status applications if I match my glaive to my kinsect, and there have been edge cases where I've been able to cause both paralysis and poison on the same monster with a single weapon, which wasn't really possible as much before, but I'm still struggling to find a good use for Status Powder, despite my previous post. It's kind of disappointing, but then again, Assist and Speed kinsects are so good now that I'm not really put off by it.
Anyway, watch Arrekz's video, it's really nice.
But I agree that assist is not the be-all end-all.
The triple up time boost is specific to tier 2 speed kinsects though iirc.
