Any tips for fighting Riftwalker? He does some crazy damage and I can't find a way to counter the umbral balls flying at me. I've been trying to solo him so that I'm not a weak link in a group but I keep triple carting in 5 minutes or less. He's definitely been a wall.
I stack Agility +7 at least for Riftstalker, allows me to dodge like a mad man.
There's also a spot in the underworld he pulls you that you can't be touched. You'll notice some people go to the corner and not move. I can't always pull it off but it does work a lot of the time.
Pretty much keep moving.
Riftstalker was a gear check wall for me, had to grind a bit to upgrade armor and weapon .
Umbral balls - Dodge roll
Actually, that applies to basically everything. When it jumps in and out of the ground, put your weapon away, run around, and dodge roll. When it gets pissed and starts spinning at you, do the exact same thing.
Other tips: Riftwalker, like Embermane, is really predictable when it comes to charging at you. The portal gives you a huge tell and even if you don't stagger it, you should be able to position yourself in a way that allows you to get in free hits after it arrives. Put your weapon away any time the Riftwalker isn't standing on the map, as there's more than enough time to take it out to attempt to stagger/punish it for coming back on the map.
Didn't know the game actually hits 60fps on solo runs on PS4. The game literally responds 10x better at 60. Like the simple act of picking up resources works better. Selecting consumables works better. Reacting to monsters works better. I could actually react to Riftstalkers bullshit now. Still didn't win but I actually was able to break a shit ton of parts off of him with my hammer.
Having problems adding you, we will do the usual work around which is you adding me (Gh0stOfNY) and then I'll accept your friend invite and add you to the guild.
No, you rock with the most awesome screen name I ever seen, invite sent
MHW was my first Monster Hunter game, but this is exactly what I needed, even if it's rough on the edge. Fast gameplay, straightforward, easy matchmaking, cross play/progression. If they show that they care about the performance and improve it, I may spend some money on this.
My best MP experience along with Guild Wars 1 Random Arena and Mass Effect 3 Horde mode.
Returning to MHW convoluted systems will be very hard, but to each its own.
Yea it's weird. It looks like network issues really brings down the FPS.
It controls the way I wish monster Hunter controlled and strips out all the stuff I hate about monster Hunter (things you may love mind you)
Thanks.
Was all the progress and special items you got from paying for the early access deleted and removed? What was the point of having a special lantern and and other stuff then.. What a waste of money.
Would rec you crank the sensitivity to max for the controller though. Otherwise camera movements feel like molasses.
I don't understand why matchmaking takes so long. They have more players than they can literally handle. Crossplay puts everyone in the same pool. There aren't even that many monsters. Yet somehow it takes a minute to find an EMPTY hunting group, which no one joins over the next couple minutes, finally allowing to start solo.
How could it possibly take that long to find no one? The pool of players should easily be enough to provide quick matchmaking. I don't understand.

The game is probably waiting for an open instance, as the servers are overloaded.
Regarding the bolded part, do you try to queue for a private hunt? You can do so by pressing X (or I imagine Square on PS4) instead of A when choosing your hunt. That way, you don't have to wait the minute where no one is joining.
I will agree that there appears to be a lot of loading/queuing that I hope they can smooth out over time. Playing on PC, I initially had the game installed on an HDD, and found the initial load way too long. Once I moved it to an SSD, I can usually get into a hunt 2-3 minutes from launching the game.
Apologies - it's Lucifon. Just sent you a friend request regardless :)
If you pay close attention to the matchmaking status, finding an actual hunt isn't bad. It's finding the server that takes a long time, which is likely a product of so many people playing the game.
I did not queue for a private hunt. I'm no network engineer so Einbroch could be right for all I know. Honestly I would've thought matchmaking times would be a matter of seconds with all they have going for them. But obviously something is slowing things down.
I wish the clan feature would be a little bit deeper Integrated with maybe something to do as a clan or a clan area where everyone spawns every time so that we definitely see each other here and there. Right now, I don't even know why there is a clan tag in the first place when it's not even shown under or besides the character name, you know, like in all the other games with clan tags.
I hope they have a lot of big updates planned for the future, because they still could do so much more with this game.

Yeah, I might make that my secondary main after Hammer. Just need to figure out how to optimize my damage output with them.
There's an option to talk to the guild by typing /g in chat then space, thought it would be good to share.
I got my response, just dropped 2 Galactic Shards (epic reagent) from level 8 Valomyr

You can also, with the controller, just press LB or RB when you're in the chat to change the categories.

Man, the orbs you have to collect when you split off parts are so small, I miss them sometimes which sucks.
Saw videos from an earlier version where they were much bigger, don't know why they changed that.
Don't worry too much, they are auto collected at the end of hunt as well.
This was confirmed on the Reddit.
My favorite weapon in the game, and one of my favorites in the MH series as well. It's a literal gunhammer, and it reminded me of the Gunhammer in MH, lol. The Aether Slam is so satisfying to land.
Got the still standing up glitch when I am dead twice today and it looks like you cant be revived when this happens...hope they fix this also tomorrow.
Yeah, I feel like any sort of endgame grind is impossible without them.
Great news
Seems like they didn't test Hellion past the normal one ^^
Dont wanna fight current scorch unless forced
First time I report someone, but after a Heroic Rage Gnasher fight where I did all the work as a poor PS4 player and the others were dropping like flies, I see this :
XXX : is this fight bugged?
XXX : ******* TRASHNIGGERBOYS
XXX : poor minorities who cant afford a pc always ruin pubs
I took a screenshot, but seems like we can't send it via the report system ?
