Gordon I feel the same way about the bow. I’m just really enjoying the rhythm of combat with it.
I was never entirely convinced I was doing enough damage with it in MH but here you can almost feel the impact of a good combo. And when the monster starts singling you out you know it wants you to stop 🙂
Played a bit of online with randos while I was waiting for my girls to come home from holiday in London (complete with obligatory colds).
It’s just not something I do much of with randoms in MH, although I love it with friends. But this is so easy to jump in to, the communications system almost does everything for you and it’s super easy to use the canned messages and emotes.
It’s almost up there with being a sunbro (and to put things in perspective, Apple autocarrot knows that sunbro is a word in my world) for the fact that I will actively seek out online sessions with randoms.
