User blog comment:Lord Loss/Discussion of the Week: Monster Hunter Frontier G/@comment-969093-20140331151640


 * Best frontier update to me was G3 where they had nerfed both weapon and armor creation and upgrading for G-Rank. It was truly so insane at first that even the japanese were reluctant to go for it aside from a handful.


 * My favourite monster would be Dhisufiroa overall for the fact he has those awesome god-tier all-over-the-place attacks with insane attack power. But G Fatalis takes the cake for the best new move to me because of that Spirit Bomb he can throw at you. I'm a sucker for those kind of monsters. Always have been, always will be. The bigger, more insane and stronger they are, the happier I am. I have nothing against going from reality to supra-reality. The more demonic or god-like they become, the more I will love them.


 * Least favourite new monster is a tough one as I've been changing opinion on that for quite a while. At first I truly despised Hyujikiki and Midogaron for how insanely OP they were when they were "the apex" back in G1. Hyuji's status rape has given me plenty of rage fits and Midogaron had an unfair targeting mechanism (still does) where he attacks only the quest poster for some reason even if others attack him. In G2 I came to hate Anorupathisu a lot instead while I grew fonder of the other 2. Anoru had some insanely powerful hard-to-evade moves that neither I nor randoms could deal with properly at the time. Plenty of painful hunts and fails have come from it. Nowadays he's not that bad anymore though since the metagame in frontier has improved significantly compared to then. Oh and Shanthien was also my public enemy #1 when he first became slayable. He was too overpowered for what we had back then, complemented by the ridiculous upgrade mechanics from G2 when it had just started. It was nothing short of pure hell.


 * I wish they added more levels and abilities and features for Halks. I want Lv4 and Lv5 Halks. Also multi-element halks and multi-status ones with the ability to equip up to 5 skills and the ability to have more interaction with them inside and outside of quests.


 * I also wish they give Hiden armors additional bonus effects and a skillcap raise in GG. I expect a Tonfa Hiden Armor too. I hope it will not disappoint if there is going to be one. And allow players to use the charms to reduce quest-clear waiting times in groups. Would be great if players could agree to that in groups by having the same charm.
