  • Joeynator3000 Sanya is a Brat (@Joeynator3000) reported

    @monsterhunter I really hope some of these updates will add in some final boss-type monsters. One of my main problems with Rise/SB, there's barely any giant final boss monsters. Even Shagaru feels like a normal Elder Dragon here, wtf? lol

  • QuintusMH UkanlosZ (@QuintusMH) reported

    Can't play Sunbreak. It finished the updates but won't launch no matter what,@monsterhunter care to explain the what was the issue with Steam version?

  • Elyrium42 Elyrium (@Elyrium42) reported

    @jumper32X @monsterhunter Going by the fact they kept a translation error in the roadmaps the whole time (special species means variant) i can see a typo being kept in

  • FuzzyDragonBoye Lakita (@FuzzyDragonBoye) reported

    @Jonatha31763485 @Va1ios @monsterhunter Because other wise we'd had another broken strong Nargacouga weapon and we don't need it...AGAIN

  • Andrius2012 Andrés (@Andrius2012) reported

    @monsterhunter Fix matchmaking on PC please. The stupid Steam download region lock makes PC players unable to play coop.

  • Patrick14113 Patrick (@Patrick14113) reported

    @Andrius2012 @monsterhunter If you play PC it aint broken, population is just not as good on PC vs Switch atm, never thought saying that one day but yeah it is. I play both, the difference is crazy.

  • Zelah__ Silas Moore (@Zelah__) reported

    @Andrius2012 @monsterhunter there's a mod on nexusmods that removes region lock. not sure if that would fix your problem but just putting that out there anyway

  • kerosene_tears Gabriel (@kerosene_tears) reported

    @LikelyRyan @monsterhunter So why you play with randoms? Do it yourself, monsters hp are based on the number of players, or just play with your friends! Your comment feels like a guy who yeets himself off a bridge then complains for the broken bones

  • Master_Epix MasterEpix (@Master_Epix) reported

    @__Hasanika__ @redjaypeg @monsterhunter I personally haven’t had any performance issues on either platform so I think you’re good either way. I do think there’s more players playing on Switch though if that makes a difference.

  • Elyrium42 Elyrium (@Elyrium42) reported

    @DarkTomeYGO @monsterhunter That's your issue then

  • ianock313 TinkerTezz (@ianock313) reported

    @monsterhunter Im curious how many players have had their pc's crash since update. So far mine, and a friend of mine's, have both crashed. Tried streaming the game after update and my pc just caved. I guess I'll grind one quest and crash at a time.

  • vadokishi Vadokishi (@vadokishi) reported

    @NDragon1412 @HonorRei @monsterhunter That's the problem, drip-feeding new content it's fine, but content that used to be on launch? Very bad look, on top of making paid DLC of things that used to be included too. Capcom getting too greedy here.

  • Kavryel Kavriel (@Kavryel) reported

    @imjustlag @monsterhunter I thought the rewards were worth the trouble and the monsters weren't too long to kill. Maybe time removed my memory of the grind, it's possible.

  • MalcolmFitzpat4 Malcolm Fitzpatrick (@MalcolmFitzpat4) reported

    @Elyrium42 @monsterhunter -Bullet Barrage is a knockup nightmare in multiplayer. Flinch Free doesn't fix this at all. -Bullet Barrage does a hit confirm before the actual move so its one of the worst options to do on sleeping monsters. -Charge shelling playstyle sucks -Super charged wide sucks harder Etc.

  • alexcruzdsgns Alex Cruz (@alexcruzdsgns) reported

    @monsterhunter Forgot to mention… please add voice chat to the switch not sure why this is still an issue

  • EeveesolutionSK ShinkaKitsuneYT (@EeveesolutionSK) reported

    @OrehCursor @NDragon1412 @monsterhunter My issue is if you want to play as another character they should let you and not charge you for a cosmetic of reused assets

  • OzIndie Adrian, with many masks at the ready (@OzIndie) reported

    @SWCribz @blkalleykat @monsterhunter The achievements are literally the same as the Guild Card Awards, so the game is already keeping track of their completion. Unless there's a temporary glitch, they should unlock immediately.

  • Andrius2012 Andrés (@Andrius2012) reported

    @Patrick14113 @monsterhunter There must be a problem with the game's matchmaking system on pc. I usually spend the first 8-10 minutes playing alone and then suddenly 3 players joins the hunt almost at the same time, it's really weird and I have read people in forums telling it happens to them as well.

  • Andrius2012 Andrés (@Andrius2012) reported

    @monsterhunter Please fix matchmaking guys.

  • NafrokWithNaCl Not Nafrok (@NafrokWithNaCl) reported

    @monsterhunter Someone knows why there is some loading issues and long black screens since the update? It was working perfectly fine before and I don't use any mods.

  • FrostyB08259620 FrostyBoi (@FrostyB08259620) reported

    @rjbeasterw98 @monsterhunter "Capcom fix my nintendo console that you didn't manufacture"

  • Elyrium42 Elyrium (@Elyrium42) reported

    @PikastationNSFW @monsterhunter Looks like an error on your end

  • sousalef Alef Barros (@sousalef) reported

    @SonicBlueNinja1 @Jeffenstien @monsterhunter Now we're talking about the real issues. Like, really? Only 2 Brutes in the base game (Barroth and Anja) and 0 Brutes in Sunbreak!? The lack of Brutes is so outstanding that I'm beginning to miss Banbaro, and I hate Banbaro!

    @QuintusMH @monsterhunter I had this issue and i had to reinstall the game to make it work, was super annoying

  • OrehCursor Oreh (@OrehCursor) reported

    @EeveesolutionSK @NDragon1412 @monsterhunter wait hold on, you said this was an issue of you not caring to be a different character. Now it’s an issue of paid DLC?

  • Deozaki_ Deo (@Deozaki_) reported

    @imjustlag @Kavryel @monsterhunter If you wanted to just hunt monsters, then hopping into guiding lands with a lower levelled friend wouldn't be a problem. Not saying the MR blocks were good, but if you and your friend are that far apart that its an issue then someone's slacking

  • cookie_i_scream Capricornus (but only ascendant) (@cookie_i_scream) reported

    @monsterhunter The update is in general pretty good but i have a major problem GL shelling levels There is absolutely no reason to make the Gunlances of the new monsters shelling level 7, we simply don't have enough max shelling Gunlances so we are reduced to use only 3 or 4 GL to be efficient

  • removed_on_play removedonplay (@removed_on_play) reported

    @monsterhunter ever since tu 1 my switch started to overheat when playing sunbreak. (while my local temperatures stayed the same) Anyone else having problems like that?
