Are reports maybe different for people with more RAM on their Decks, or is yours max spec?
I'm torn because I have a good DB build but I wouldn't mind trying something new because I kinda hate being up close and personal against shit like Teostra
I currently have a Gunlance build where I have reduced the cooldown of Wyvern's Fire by 50%. Combined with the Hail Cutter wirebug skill you can effectively always get rid of the cooldown entirely. So almost near constant blasting which in solo you don't have to worry about knocking your fellow hunters.
So I haven't been paying attention to what's been going on with this game since the sunbreak weapon trailers. I remember people complaining that LS is still going to be OP in subbreak and that the other weapons didn't get any good switch skills or buffs in general. Did people jump the gun or is LS still OP compared to the other weapons?
I feel like I'm too stupid to fight Seregios. Like, I can't wrap my head around its animations and I just mentally shut down.
I've got to turn the game off and cool down a bit. Fuck.

I really dig the quests where you get to bring NPC hunters. It seems like such an obvious addition, but it never even occured to me until they happened.
Also fought Garangolm for the first time last night and boy, THAT is a cool ass monster/fight. Also managed to snag all the mats for the GS in that one run, which is a pretty substantial jump over what I was using. Love it when that happens.

Hey All,
I just picked up both MH:R and Sunbreak. Does anyone want to help a lowly lvl 1 hunter do some quests? I use a light bowgun. I have fairly limited playtime, but am really digging the series so far. I'm on Switch. If you'd like to help a guy out, please message me and we can swap friend codes. Thanks!

It's really fast- I just assume that any time I can't see Seregios, it's likely above me and about to strike with a vicious combo. It moves around a lot on the ground too. Flash bombs are good to knock it out of the air, and sushifish cure bleeding instantly.
We have a discord, but you need to ask someone with invite permissions and I'm not sure how it handles Switch and PC players (not used it much yet as I'm playing catch-up).
Reggie always gave me trouble in older games. One mistake and you're bleeding and then you're dead. :]
Thanks! Would some kind individual with invite permissions to said Discord server give me a link to the server?
If I can get on the Discord, I could try and find time to help whenever we are both on.
Ready for Sunbreak. I just finished the required HR:7 quest and it was tough. Scared to see what SB is gonna do to my cheeks.
That would be awesome. What time zone are you in? Unfortunately, my playtime is limited, but I'd love to be able to get past this pathetic HR1 rank.
You literally crouch 1s and you're good, one of the crabs will make you bleed so good preview there
Malzeno down. What an amazing fight, Sunbreak is knocking it out of the park with the creatures' designs and movesets, what an upgrade over vanilla Rise and especially World.
Finally unlocking the remaining new switch skills.
I feel like they just don't know what to do with the switch axe.
Even in the base game it was pretty basic, outside the one anime dive bombing sword attack.
You've got this funky reposition tool that's kinda neat in how snappy it is(albeit similar to one of the bowguns), it feels like it's asking for a follow up attack that doesn't exist, and honestly even a roll with a single evade extender can get you out of danger with more choice and no wirebug needed.
And the elemental burst with the super armour/parry timing is like pure commitment for a pretty middling payoff.
Sword and shield meanwhile has OPTIONS, it benefits a lot from the skill swapping mid fight.
Now to try and figure out how to best use the captain America charging star attack.
Do wish the returning oil had a more interesting effect like the old minds eye or destroyer oils.

Crouching still works, and Sushifish also work in place of Jerky to cure it.
Just got my Steam Deck and am going to start over for that sweet bump in frame rate and fidelity, and.. thank god for the Black Belt and Defender Weapons free DLC. It seemed really daunting starting over again, but that really helps speed things along to catch back up.
oh wow that is uh quite the big change lol i remember the struggle of desperately trying to stay crouched mid fight because i never had meat on me
Watching the perf monitor, one key difference I noticed between yours and my Steam Deck is the GPU clock speed and temperature.
My Steam Deck in that same shrine location hovers between 850MHz - 1,050MHz with a temperature ranging between 75C - 80C during combat. Practically locked 60fps with very very minor frame time spike on the graph and imperceptible in gameplay even when I forcefully pan the camera at dizzying speeds. Same exact graphics settings as I described in my prior response.
Your GPU seems to mostly hang around b/w 650MHz - 700MHz with temps as high as 90C.
In short, your GPU seems to be throttling down for whatever reason.
Also, my room temp is at a comfortable 65F (17C)
EDIT: I'm also on the latest Steam Deck beta firmware and running on Proton Experimental "bleeding edge" beta branch.
Dude are you kidding me, switchaxe is the best it has EVER been. The new counter does great damage and is an excellent way to get into the amped state for power phials (which usually charge slower). 2 stage morph combo also makes using the new counter more seamless because of the major gains to sword gauge and amped charge it can provide, It removes the reliance on switch charger. I find the counter timing extremely generous but if you are having trouble with it try focusing on countering once at the start of the hunt (if you are using power phial) to gain amped state and then switching back to switch charger to maintain sword gauge more easily. The only switch skill I see no purpose for is the new axe movement silkbind, it's just kinda useless lol. There is so much variety in how you can play switchaxe in Rise, it's kind of insane. It finally feels like being in Axe mode is not an absolute hindrance.
Imagine how scrubby I felt giving it a Google an hour ago and seeing people popping off over the counter lol
Looks like I need to toy with it and the 2 stage morph more.
In clarification, I was kind of saying more that I felt they don't really know what to give the switch axe outside its base moves/build sword loop, but maybe I'm jumping the gun on these new tools, especially because I forgot about the power phial build nerf from world.
(I should add, I do enjoy it the weapon here)
Yeah 2-stage seems pretty underwhelming at first but it slots into the whole moveset really nicely.
I started over last week too. My kids took the Switch on their vacay that had my save progress. Im now hopping between my desktop 4K gaming PC midday and Steam Deck before bedtime. Enjoying my vanilla run with a different weapon set.
Below is my in-game graphics settings that should provide a consistent 60fps with a bit of headroom. FYI.
Ohh, thank for the settings! I haven't really tinkered. I just locked my FPS to 48 and was really happy with that, but maybe I'll push it even harder then. The difference from the Switch is sooo stark.
If you're playing on battery and wanting to extend your playtime, 48Hz is a perfectly viable option too! :-)
Totally! I obviously still have room to bump up the settings though so thanks for the info!
Being too indecisive about whether to restart on pc or go straight to sunbreak on the switch, any feeling on how the player base is yet?
Should have no problems finding players on any system.
As for PC vs Switch, pretty much no reason to not get the PC version because of the night and day difference in visuals/performance.
You could always pogo the monsters, up to 3 times, with the normal air attack. Guess the new one is a more dircect hit while the other floats and slashes a bit.
