Going by your numbers (which I'm going to use as a reference since I don't know the actual rates) ten raw damage hits plus a Small/Large Barrel Bomb explosion after all of that sounds like a baffling amount of damage. Imagine something as quick as Dual Swords or an SnS with Slime going at a Rathian. Kaboom, blam-o, splam-bam-boom every few seconds if your aim is keen. I really wish I was wrong about that damage output, but I vaguely remember it being said that the Slime explosion damage was equal to that of a Large Barrel Bomb, which is a huge amount of damage. (Someone correct me on the LBB damage output if I'm wrong, please!)

I don't mean to be confrontational, but please don't use the term "stupid" so slanderously like that. I haven't called anyone stupid, nor do I intend to, so I feel that that was a bit uncalled for.

On top of that, I never said it would kill my game; however, I did say it would be my fun that would be the casualty regarding people using Slime weapons in my towns. Fun is important to me in video games, and I am having pre-release thoughts that the Slime weapons would kill a monster too fast for my taste. Post-release this thought could change, but the more YouTube videos I see of everyday players using Brachydios weapons to destroy their hunts in under five minutes the more I believe that pre-release thought is an actuality.

I don't mean to rain on anyone's parade. Go ahead and use what you like. It isn't my decision to limit players' weapon choice; I understand that. I'm just tired of seeing Brachydios weapons and Slime alike. I love seeing variety, and I fear that I won't see such variety online in the future when MH3U launches. I apologize if anyone's nose was wrinkled at my comment above. I'll cease moaning about the Slime weapons, I'll retract every statement I've said up to this point and we can go back to clean discussion without hitches or bumps.

Though, seeing such a defense put up about the Slime weapons, I suppose that is an omen that I should just stay offline with my brothers.
