Title. I can't deny no longer, I don't like how far things are going. Ascendance is giving me the creeps of the insane power difference between the fodder of the first 95% and the Frenzied bloodlust AT unchained origin species Arkveld. I don't like everything feels trivialized while being important point of the series identity. I DON'T like DB getting an offest and I DESPISE offset spam GS (also the fact you can change direction mid TCS disgusting). Also fuck you Kushala, you punk ass.

But I would be lying if I said I didn't have (and still having) a blast playing it. It feels surreal how much I smile when booting up a quest, or saving an investigation. I love playing SnS, it feels so smooth like delicate butter. And yes, I screamed like a chud looking at the new ascendance monsterGundoraja. Also fuck Kushala, you stupid rusty nail.

It feels like that one dude who was crying at the announcement of Star wars Rogue One.

*Sigh* See y'all in 2027 with more polygon monster. Anyway, take care hunters <3

Edit: it's actually the last Jedi

Hey.

I’m sure you’re all well aware of how disgusting a quest proof of a hero is and I’ve been throwing myself against it for almost nine fucking hours now. I’ve made builds, switched weapons, tried solo, tried support, and I cannot for the life of me make any headway at all. I could go on and on about how nonsensically inflated the health pools are, or about how every monster flings you back a million feet the nanosecond you make a mistake, but it’s been said before with far more clarity than I can manage right now. I’m boiling white hot angry.

That said, my frustration is exacerbated by my friends. I have a couple buddies who excel at monster hunter, they’ve been playing far longer than I have as I started on world. I know that’s probably where they get their leg up on me, but we’ve played all through world and rise together and I feel I’ve closed the gap considerably. I managed to solo endgame monsters in world and I’ve had very little trouble with the endgame of rise as well. That said, they both beat proof of a hero in wilds within hours of it releasing. I can’t make any foothold at all. It’s completely humiliating, especially because they’ve all soloed it and I can’t even make it with a squad.

I’m disgusted with myself. They all get to show off their shiny nameplates and I have to look like a noob that they’re hard carrying, it’s making me embarrassed to jump into the expansion. I’m obviously trying to finish it now before the release, but it’s still pointless. I’m just never going to be able to end the fucking thing.

This whole debacle has led me straight to a bottle. I wish I was joking, it sounds so pathetic that this fucking video game quest is leading me to drink but at this point I have nothing else to dull the anger. My girlfriend is worried about me and my friends don’t even bring it up, but I know I’m going down a bad path. Genuinely, what can I do? There’s nothing I haven’t already tried to finish this piece of shit quest and it’s starting to affect my real life. Am I cooked?

Pls help :(

I know that this must be the Nth time someone mentions it. I also know that perhaps while the TUs were live and the lobbies full, reaching lvl 300 must have been a minor inconvenience.

But here I am, playing on 2026, stuck at lvl 224, with zero resolve to push forward.

What an absolute horror! I hate grinding that much! Can anyone help with some coop? I'm losing my mind!
