as cliche as it sounds apparently driver 398.36 helps with performance over 398.82. Don't have the game yet so I can't test myself.

Monster Hunter: World PC |OT| Now Jaggi Free!
- Thread starter texhnolyze
- Start date
The game starts in High Rank. It's when armor optimization, weapon selection, using the correct items (flashbangs, Nutrients, Bomb Barrels, etc.) and customizing your build for specific encounters starts becoming very important. Story Mode is just terrible.. I miss the old days when the only story was "here's the hunting board, have fun." and you set your own path for how you wanted to progress through missions.
So rushing through the story is recommended? I've been doing all kind of stuff like bountys, some expeditions quests etc.
Give it a couple of days, it will settle down. Game isn't even out for 24h.

It's when every other hunt gets rudely interrupted by a giant B-52 bomber is what it is.
Only do side missions that unolock stuff. But for the most part yeah, rush through the story. Otherwise you'll wonder why you spent grinding 30-60 hours on low level shit that you'll immediately discard.
If you enjoy learning mechanics, and "boss" fights, not especially. It primarily depends on how much time you want to spend (along with RNG) going after specific weapon tiers and some armor along the way.
Bounties are fine because you're gonna do them eventually and they unlock useful stuff. Everything else just leave it until you're in high rank.
Not at all. Use this time to learn weapon mechanics, farm consumables, and most importantly, learn monster attack patterns. In HR nothing is more important than positioning as some HR mobs can potentially one shot you if you're not careful. But as far as the Cutscenes and story? You can ignore all that unless you're really into lore.
Online is so broken. I mean not xbox launch bad but I can't even join my friend who is two quests back and watched the cutscene. I can help randoms on SOS though.
Called it a night with the Pukei-Pukei hunt. Ugggh I want to play more, but I need SOME sleep lol.
Decided to hop in with the lance for now, which I think I am going somewhere with it. XD Game is running quite smoothly for the most part, but I had a couple freezes (one collecting the first honey and fainting for the first time), plus a crash at the hub, so hmmm. Also having connection issues too, though I am just sticking with solo for some more anyway.
Anyway, the wait sucked, but man does it feel good to finally step into the new world. For a while it felt sucky as a MH fan who just game on PC/Switch, but that has past, and the hunter in me is armed and ready!
That just seems so bizarre for a game that has been streamlined quite a bit to expand the audience lol, but anyway.

You have to loot them manually during the 60 seconds. The 60 seconds is a grace period in case you cart right before the quest is complete or something similar.
Only hair/hair color, nothing that would require a surgery to change. Though there are paid teckets that allow you to change everything.
Also watch for parts coming off. Could be before the final part of the battle. Loot main monster corpse three times I think. Any parts just once. You can buff loot speed with food.
Was trolling during looting patched on console?
Hope so. I don't like the looks of the character I made much but I don't want to spend so much time in the character creator yet.
Oh man. Did 80% of a fight alone, then people rushed in, and aggroed the "T-Rex". I then had to run away from it, while they killed the prey. I came in like 20 seconds before the timer ran out and missed most of the loot.
*sigh*
Mine looks like a homeless Loki. Spent way more time with the cat lol
This was me on console release day. Nothing better than spending an hour beating the monster to come away with some honey lol
Loot them before the timer end, it's three carves per big monster so there's plenty of time unless the monster died when you're very far away in multiplayer. Carves aren't evw ythung though, you get most of the loot as rewards after the hunt.
In Dragon's Dogma there was a CheatEngine-table, I think, that allowed you to enter the character creator whenever you wanted (It was great).
I wouldn't be surprised if someone made something like this for this game.
You can change minor things like hairstyle and facial tattoo etc. at any time. Capcom released a ticket so you could full-redo the look of a character a few limited times too.
Everyone on console got one free ticket to change their character, watch out for that on PC.
Patched a few months ago. There's no way to troll during looting now.
When the monster is damaged enough, you use a shock trap or pitfall trap and use tranq bombs near the head. You can use the tranqs before or after trapping.
Damn... want to get this on PS4 (Pro) sooner or later, but I can't stand long load times. Framerate and loadtimes are among the most important aspect to me. I don't care about graphics as long as they are well done and coherent and fit the rest of a game, but bad framerate and load times just diminish the overall enjoyment. :/
Was really looking forward to playing this game with my friend but seeing how convoluted the MP is and the outdated mouse and keyboard support I rather told her not to get it. Will be sticking to ESO for now.
I am having fun playing it solo with a controller tho and can see me sinking many more hours into it. It's just a shame that the main reason for my purchase is lacking.

Here's a great indicator for when the monster is ready to be captured: Maybe you already noticed that after taking damage for a while, monsters drop pods you can use with your slinger. They look like red glowing stones.
Monsters drop these three times, at 30% HP, at 20% HP and at 10% HP. Most monsters can be captured at 25% so waiting for the monster do drop the second slinger pod is a sure way to be sure you'll be able to capture it.
As for the capturing mechanic, just get the monster to run into your pitfall or shock trap (can be crafted) and drop a few tranquilizer pods (also craft-able) next to its head. You can also drop the tranqs before you lay out your trap, it's up to you.
Hope this helps anyone who jumps into MH:World for the first time. Once capturing becomes second nature, you won't spend much time fighting monsters until they die anymore, since capturing is a faster way to finish a fight and as far as I'm informed, you won't lose out on the loot you'd have to carve otherwise.
Welcome to the state of multiplayer in japanese pc ports. These companies just have no fucking clue what they're doing.
What is the monster or quest that opens up HR?
Also I want to bring up a funny anecdote from MHP 2 that I remembered. Back then I did not know that the game split online and single player quests into 2 parts so I just kept going to the guild to do quests. If you don't know, guild quests are only used primarily for online but if you solo them then you have to contend with monsters that have boosted stats so most people would do the easier Village Elder quests as that is meant for soloing. I got all the way to HR7 before I saw an NPC sitting by the entrance to the guild and I said to myself: "Huh, I wonder what this NPC does."
As dumb as that story was I think it does serve as a caution to new players to make sure you understand what you're doing and why. MH can be kinda obtuse at first glance because not many games of this genre exists and so some of its systems might seem odd or strange. It's best to know what you're doing and why rather than assume things and make the game more harder or frustrating than it needs to be.
The reason someone has to accept a mission while in the same session is because you can be 4 players in a quest, but you can be 16 players in a session.
Just keep doing the story missions one after another. It's quite apparent when you get into a real "big" story related quest and that wlil unlock HR.
Urg, this is terrible though. The whole session system just over complicates finding groups. If i have one complaint about this game is how complicated Online MP is, and some UI issues with too much shit appearing on the screen at all times.
I would strongly recommend that people watch weapon guides on youtube for their chosen weapon, especially the complicated ones.
I started with the charge blade, which I know well from previous games, but decided to try the insect glaive out. "This is shit" I thought, before looking up a video and finding out what I was supposed to be doing.
So here is my expert guide on the Insect Glaive (based on one youtube vid and an hour of play lol):
The Insect Glaive is two weapons, an Insect and a Glaive. My mistake was thinking I would just use the Glaive at first to figure out the move set- don't do this, the damage is pitiful and the Glaives move set changes when you get the insect buffs.
The first thing you need to do in any fight is get the red buff from the insect. This is done by sending out the bug to attack the monsters head, AND then calling it back.
There are 3 ways (I think) to do this; Sending the insect directly with LT and light attack, marking the head with LT and RT, or bopping the monster on the head with RT.
You call the bug back with LT and heavy attack.
Once you're juiced up on monster-face-crack you can start laying the smackdown. Don't attack without the red buff.
The white buff (monster-leg-crack) is also fairly important as it increases your movement speed and jump height. While not essential like the red buff, I think it's best to always have this too, so that you learn how your character moves at their best.
Any additional advice from actual Insect Glaive experts would be appreciated.

What's the deal with the health and stamina "bars" now? I bought the game at launch on the PS4, and it didn't force the bars into miniscule diamonds. Now, either I have to be in combat, or bring up the radial menu to see my actual bars. It wasn't like this at launch on the console versions, and I could run around with both of my bars showing even out of combat. I can't find any option to change this and it's super annoying.
Reading elsewhere is saying that it's always been like this since release, but either that's not true, or I just had a nice bug from the very start that would never collapse my bars, because this is new to me, and I have around 200 hours with the game...

I played this for 300+ hours on PS4 and when out of combat they always collapse into the diamonds. You don't lose stamina when it is collapsed into a diamond though, so there's really no reason to look at the stamina bar.
Damn time flies..11 hours today.
Hit HR, got almost the full HR doggo set and halfway through upgrading to Axe Semper Tyrannis. Forgot how nasty HR diabolos is.
