Xbob42 Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 I think rampage missions would be a fun side mode to generate random content with various monsters, having it be part of main story progression and being so long makes them feel out of place. Usual alternative content like that in MH is shorter than normal hunts, not longer. A problem exacerbated by how short normal hunts are.

EternallDarkness Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Did my first Rampage ...and yeah, that's the first thing I've encountered that I honestly don't like. My nephew says there are only 3 of them that are unavoidable/mandatory in the game, hopefully that's true. dream crossover Monster Hunter: Pokemon Edition!

Paperclyp Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 Jumping back into this after forgetting why I fell off of it, the primary reason was the rampage missions. I don't enjoy them at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedarkstark Posted July 5, 2022 Share Posted July 5, 2022 To reiterate there are no rampage quests in sunbreak, so you pretty much only need to do the 3 or 4 that are part of the main game story and never touch them again. In base game the end game revolved heavily around them to craft end game armors and gems but you can basically skip that now, the free armor you get is good enough to start hunting sunbreak stuff (you do have to beat the base game to unlock sb content though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will say that the new mechanic introduced in the post game monsters is very cool/fun though. Also glad there are no rampage missions in the expansion Do you play with other people? That makes the game a bit more challenging since the monsters scale up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soloing is much harder against most monsters because you draw aggro more or less the entire fight and some monsters have very long enraged periods where they're pretty relentless. I do both, I mainly stick to multiplayer because it is generally faster unless you queue with some bad players who faint a bunch and make you fail the quest.

Always eat food, never forget (defender, medic, and moxie 'dango' are very good if you faint a lot), and upgrade your armor. The champion set (black belt) you get free is good enough to get you through nearly the entire base game if you continue upgrading it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm 12+ hours in, reached 4 star and I think I might have 'died' once (though that might have actually been when I was screwing around with the demo, not the actual game) But history has shown me that when I play games online I always end up sucking.

EternallDarkness Posted July 7, 2022 Share Posted July 7, 2022 Even though I hit the end credits on the base game already (granted it's way early in the game and I know there is still a crap ton left, but it also speaks to me being crazy addicted the game as I have already logged 20 hours on the game. Started messing with some of the HUB quests while still working on the 5* village quests, but my question(s) are. How high a level do the village quests go? and at what point do I gain access to the Sunbreaker content? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's not the end, you have to do gathering hub to get to the end, there are still a whole lot more The game does a poor job of explaining that, honestly village quests shouldn't even exist they're kind of pointless, village quests ends at 5 star and they're all considered "low rank" and give low rank rewards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still need to watch some on the buddies because I know I am not getting the most of out of them Honestly there's a lot to learn, so much so that I feel like you will never fully grasp it all in your first monster hunter game, you need to play 2 or 3 before you know all of the ins and outs. Gathering hub quests become "high rank" at hr4, the original ending is at hr7, but you need to get to hr50(?) IIRC to get the real ending and unlock sunbreak stuff. That may sound daunting but after hr7 you can fight whatever you want and your hr will go up ~1 levels per monster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually even before it officially launched because I was part of the original online beta testing on the ps2. The thing is no matter how many I tried the game just never fully clicked with men except for the Stories games but totally not the same thing. Only this time it finally has clicked and I am loving it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have unlocked the 6 star village quests and done a few the HUB quests including several of the 'test' quests. I'm at the point where I need to do the 4 star urgent HUB request, the second rampage mission. Tried it and failed May need to practice some of the rampages to get a better handle on those missions. (they suck ...though I guess I could see how they might be fun if you played in a party) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
