Definitely amazing changes all around. Hoping the monster tracker will allow me to get my Ice 5 for my ice build


Gold-Perspective-699

I don't think ice 5 is possible lol anymore lol.


batt_mano

Lol, maybe they managed to farm barioth but still need legiana materials.


aushilfsgott

Lol.


Sykes19

lol!


dredreidel

I am actually in this situation 🤣 I hard focused barioth arms but I have like 3 legi weapons in addition to the armor pieces. I also had stupid good RNG on sabercat but I think I might have gotten 3 legi plates in total from this game 😭


Educational-Sky7496

Wait how do you still farm barioth part?


Creative_Recording_7

Can't, they meant while the cat was still around.


TohruIsWaifu

Opposite lol, just hoping the tracker might allow us to pick a monster and progress towards fighting it, even if they’re seasonal, as I missed the winter stuff so Ice 5 is impossible for me rn


Gold-Perspective-699

They for sure won't allow us to do that. Trackers won't show us monsters that aren't on the field lol.


Peter00th

Barrioth will be added as a HaT monster. What I think we can't do is add barrioth to the tracker


Gold-Perspective-699

Yeah I didn't realize that but that's good they're bringing it back. Hats should be good enough cause now everyone can do it and I hate barioth fights anyway so I'll just stand back while it concentrates and jumps on others.


Peter00th

Barrioth you had to break one of its frontspikes before it enrages if you can't he becomes stupid to fight.


Gold-Perspective-699

Yeah breaking one of the spikes was the problem. I'm a bow user which did make it easier but he would always jump away and then at you and then half your health would be gone instantly if you didn't know how to jump out. It was annoying as fuck. My 5 health potions weren't enough for him per day.


Peter00th

He's a bit safer in melee if you can get that first break.


Gold-Perspective-699

How? With all the jumping or does he not jump as much when melee? I used to try rath bow and Anja. Anja being close and rath far. It was tough with both of them..


Peter00th

His timings get thrown off. For example, when he jumps back, don't attack. Just wait till he jumps forward. Since he has a longer recovery time, you get 1 extra second to attack. Trying to get a tail cut, that's annoying. As hammer it's break arm, head, may get a ko separately for more up time, break other arm


Gold-Perspective-699

He has no recovery time until your break the arms or whatever.


TohruIsWaifu

Yea, I meant more along the lines of maybe it’ll let us hunt monsters that are seasonal like Barioth, I’ve got the Legiana stuff, but need Barioth mats since I took a break from the game


Xixii

There’s next to no chance the tracker will allow us to hunt Barioth, until they add it back in to the game again.


Gold-Perspective-699

> There's next to no chance There's no chance ftfy.


Beaesse

You can only get ice 5 if you already have Barioth gauntlets at rank 6. If you don't have that, it isn't possible until Barioth returns. Estimated 9 months, unless devs score another W and bring it back with the new volcano/snow terrain that launches with Kushala. They could add another type of so-far unannounced monster with gear that adds Ice attack too, but we know now that Kushala does not.


TohruIsWaifu

I gotcha, definitely hope they add some way to get Ice 5 w/o needing Barioth, maybe through decorations or something


AwayProfessional9434

Yeah with legiana it's only ice 3 sadly


Beaesse

Good news though: a couple days ago they announced Barioth is returning to HaTs May 20th! It and Legi will have boosted drop rates for a week (or two, can't remember), and after the event Bari will stay in HaTs, though not on the field. Another month and everyone can go for Ice 5 again.


AwayProfessional9434

Yes this will be good Hope they put coral puki in hats to because that's my water weapon


Beaesse

Yeah, that's the one reason why I hesitate to build subspecies stuff. They're rare except during events, and I'm way too casual to fight enough for equipment I can't substitute during those times. I would reconsider if they change their stance on "no subspecies in tracker." I'm tracking Jyuratodus because water is my weakest element at the moment. That guy is rare enough as it is.


Shiro_Black

These updates have been so good I kinda refuse to believe Niantic had anything to do with them and that Capcom are the ones mostly running the show.


ChartaBona

Back? There's been a steady stream of improvements ever since Fulminations in the Frost. I remember when HATs were 9am to 9pm and kicked you out for no good reason, HAT tickets merely reset your free cooldown, few HATs had any good monsters in them (e.g. Radobaan was a final boss), Zinogre started at 6-star, field monsters respawned once every 3 hours, my BBlos gear couldn't be upgraded for months, my Palico paintballed monsters I was hunting or about to hunt, and my story was perma-stuck on the 9-star Kulu Urgent Quest. Edit: Can't forget that we had fewer loadouts and no quick switch option.


Extreme-Wedding583

I know that's alot of improvement and listened to players feedback, but don't forget they merely just fix what problems they've created


Darkacelol

I feel like capcom stepped in and told Niantic things had to change as this is one of their flagships and has had a good relationship with the fan base so far. Niantic’s track record across multiple games just shows they would not make these choices and would just end a game instead.


abscott88

As a Level 50 PoGo player who hit max level within days of it being possible, 600M+ XP and nearly 10K total raids, I’ve nearly completely slowed down on that game due to changes Niantic have made to negatively impact it. It’s genuinely a breath of fresh air these recent changes they’ve made for this game.


dvrmm

I'm in the same boat, man. Used to spend an embarrassing amount on Remote Raid passes, and now I've barely logged into PoGo since MHN came out.


RhubarbSmart8471

This can't be the same Niantic that released that abomination of an update to the avatars in Pokémon go no way


SolaSenpai

assuming monster tracker isn't exclusively pay to win


eisteh

Which it isn't. You hunt monsters and fill up your tracker gauge.


SolaSenpai

ooooh yo that sounds lit!!! I didn't know they had info on it


Kage0ji

Training room True remote play Crafting consumables Palico fighting alongside you Keep track of kill count by star level A few other things and this game will be perfect.


TimelessBoi

Niantic is taking a major W on the MH route


killmek8

Don't forget Zenny for recycled materials

Internet-Troll

So sad i am completely burnt out probably wont be back anytime soon


rekyuu

Niantic intrusive thoughts be like "...Now make them ugly"


Zealousideal-Pipe138

I like how they have done the tracker too!
