Monster Hunter World

I wanna know what that mini Odogaron is all about!

[hudson]

Not only did I post before you, I wrote more content.
You're demoted to walking my Palico tonight.

I will have it wear neon pink spandex. You will not be able to take it off for taking your eye out.

[QualityChimp]

Kryss and I fought a "mini" Eau de Garon the other night and it said it the smallest we'd fought and we got a trophy!

Deviljo info:

• Added a new monster: Deviljho! (Includes new Deviljho weapons, and the Vangis α and β armour sets)
• Deviljho will invade 6☆ quests, 7☆ quests and high rank expeditions, once you have completed the investigation for "??? Rathian" in the main story. After competing certain conditions, you will unlock the Deviljho special assignment

[hudson]

O really? I need to find the little pup.

[QualityChimp]

It looked the same size, tbh,

[hudson]

Same size as the one in the video or a regular one?

[QualityChimp]

Same for all monsters - it tells you a size after the hunt and tells you if it's the biggest or smallest, but they look the same size.
I'm not sure if there's some scaling as the Barroth in that Street Fighter arena quest was heyowge.

The one in the video, as you say, looks smaller. I don't know what's going on there, yet.
Any Japanese speakers who can help?

"Monster Hunter: World first free major title update introduces Deviljho, Spring Blossom Fest and more



Hunters, beware: the arrival of the Deviljho in the New World is nigh! But that’s not the only new content coming to Monster Hunter: World. Check out the list of what’s included in our first free major title update.

DEVILJHO, THE WORLD EATER

Mark your calendars: the Deviljho is headed to the New World, devouring everything in its path, and will be arriving on March 22nd with our first free major title update (PS4 version 2.00 / Xbox One 2.0.0.0).

This fearsome Brute Wyvern is sure to wreak some serious havoc and bring massive headaches to any unsuspecting hunters… but those who fell this violent beast will be handsomely rewarded. Bring Deviljho materials to the Workshop and they’ll be able to craft 2 complete armor sets—Vangis α and Vangis β—as well as a new entry in each of the 14 existing weapon types, including brand new Deviljho designs for Sword and Shield, Hunting Horn, Bow, Insect Glaive and Charge Blade!

Are you ready to face this terrifying tyrant?

SPRING BLOSSOM FEST

Starting April 5th 5pm PT / April 6th 12am GMT
Ending April 18th 5pm PT / April 20th 12am GMT

Now shifting things to a much lighter mood… shortly after the arrival of the mean pickle in Monster Hunter: World, we’ll be hosting our very first seasonal event: the Spring Blossom Fest. Come celebrate with us and participate in daily fun activities, which will, of course, involve a lot of monster hunting.

We’ve completely decorated the Celestial Pursuit (Gathering Hub) and even issued out new official Guild uniforms to all the staff. Oh, and food! You can’t have a party without food, so we’ve added a special new platter too.

We’ll have more details on this limited-timed event pretty soon but make sure you mark your calendars so you don’t miss out!
----------

MEGA MAN & WEAPON DESIGN CONTEST WINNER

Also during the Spring Blossom Fest, we’ll be hosting two very special Event Quests.

The first one will get you tickets to craft the Mega Man voxel style Palico gear and will be available from April 13th through April 27th:

And the other, available at the start of the Spring Blossom Fest on April 6th, will unlock materials to craft the Wyvern Ignition Great Sword, the winner of our community Weapon Design Contest. Check out the winning concept submission along with its slick in-game render:

WEAPON BALANCE UDPATES

Also on the topic of weapons, the upcoming March 22nd title update will bring to the table a number of tweaks, adjustments and bug fixes to most weapon types.

Great Sword: increased the damage for Charged Slash abilities.
Long Sword: improvements to Foresight Slash input timing and hitbox detection.
Sword & Shield: Roundslash damage increased and improved slinger usability
Dual Blades: adjustments to help maintain Demon Gauge active
Hammer: adjusted the stun values on charged attacks
Hunting Horn: general attack power increase
Lance: Counter-thrust adjustment to increase ease of use
Gunlance: Reduced sharpness loss for shelling, and made some attack power increases
Switch Axe: Zero Sum Discharge adjustments to increase ease of use
Charge Blade: balance adjustments to Impact Phial and Power Element Phial
Insect Glaive: improvements to extract attack power increase and extract effect length
Bow: fixed various bugs
Light Bowgun: no adjustments were made
Heavy Bowgun: no adjustments were made
We’ll be sharing a more comprehensive list when the title update goes live. In the meantime, please know that our team in Japan is hard at work monitoring player behavior and feedback, and we hope these changes will make for a better and smoother hunting experience.

ADDITIONAL GAME SYSTEM CHANGES & CHARACTER EDIT VOUCHER

Speaking of player feedback, we have heard your requests to have the ability to re-edit your in-game character, so we’re giving everyone one free Character Edit Voucher on March 16th. This voucher will be available for free in the PlayStation Store and Xbox Game Store, but it is a one-time use token, so please use it wisely. Here’s what you can and cannot edit with this voucher:

CAN EDIT:
Hunter gender;
Hunter physical appearance (skin tone, features, etc.);
Hunter cosmetic appearance (hairstyle, facepaint, etc.). Note you can already do these at any time;

CANNOT EDIT:
Hunter name;
Palico name;
Palico appearance;

If you choose to make further edits after you’ve consumed the free Character Edit voucher, we’ll be offering more vouchers for purchase at a later date. More details to come.

We’re also deploying some changes to a number of game systems with the March 22nd title update, hoping to improve your gameplay experience even more:

Attacks from allies no longer interrupt you during the carving animation. Additionally, players are now immune to all hit reactions, including bombs, during carving animations after quest completion.
Added "Return to Gathering Hub" (single player) and "Disband & Return to Gathering Hub" (multiplayer) to the options for "Select Return Destination" after a quest has been completed.
Added the "Text Size" setting for changing subtitle text size, under Start Menu > Options Game Settings.
A full list of patch notes will be also be released when the title update goes live.
----------

As always, stay tuned to the Monster Hunter channels on Twitter and Facebook for the latest news and updates.

I hope you’re looking forward to the March 22nd title update and Spring Blossom Fest seasonal event as much as I am. I can’t wait to hunt and craft some new Deviljho gear and see what kind of trouble it’ll cause in the New World!

Awesome update well done Capcom

[J0e Musashi]

Hopefully I can slim my chara down. Her thighs are too chunky for my liking.

[kryss]

was looking at some builds to make Teostra a bit more surviable and there are various tank builds out there that give some great stats looks like i've got some crafting to do and some monsters to kill over the next week.

I've pretty much relied on the negigante and xeno jiva sets but there are better sets out there it seems for surviving the more difficult to fight elder dragons.

Uragaan Protection makes the unguardable guardable - including Teo's Nova and all Xeno blast/beams.

Are you coming back in once the DLC drops, @DevilhJ0e?

Is that what you were wearing when the Odogaron killed you and we failed the mission?

[fuse]

Speaking of which, where is the delightful @fuse?

He was in South Africa, and just got back today

I see we have a date for Devil'Jho! Looking forwards to it.

Diplomatic immunity?

For however long it takes to get the bow and if the set parts are good. I'll be around for that long at least.
