Should Elder Dragons Have Extreme Blights? Are Elder's Uninspired? | Responding To Your Comments 

One way I could see Extreme blights return is save it for the unquie version of the elder dragons like for example deviants, rare species, and variants where they have remodeled extreme blights. Example: A black mained Teo variant where it has extreme fire blight where if you have maxed out fire resistance you only get the normal fire blight instead. If you don't well pain. The game gives you a choice you can force yourself through it or you can plan around it to have slightly easier time of it yet still being a challenge. This is one way they could bring back extreme blights without pissing off the entire player base.

Long story short I'm getting on Frontier.

On repels, I think it was mostly refering to non-seige like fights, where Kushala or Teostra, etc, would only have 35 minutes to hunt. Recently soloing through 4U, repels felt great as soloing the G rank elders was a serious challenge, and the repel made me sigh a breath of relief when they did happen, and the tension knowing whether the monster would or wouldnt be repelled prior to the timer expiring was tense. As long as the timer was reduced for Elder Dragon hunts, I think a repel would work even without nerfing the hunter or giving the monsters HP bloat.

Just some minor corrections on my comment. In the gen 2 games it was Kirin, Loa and Yama Tsukami that didn't have the repel mechanic. The first time non-ED monsters appeared with an ED normally was actually in MH1. The small monsters native to the (Old) Swamp appeared alongside Kirin in its quest so I guess they didn't think about that lore element yet. In 4th gen only Rusted Kushala in 4U kept the gen 2 repel mechanic, appearing only between the Town and Polar Field maps. As for the thing you said about other monsters appearing alongside EDs, specifically for WI, to show off the turf war mechanic is a valid one. Though it doesn't help much that the only monsters that can do turf wars with EDs are other EDs, Rajang, Savage Jho and both Odogarons with Blackveil Vaal specifically. It was kind of useless for other large monsters to be there as they would just roar at them and then flee. Which is lore accurate with them fleeing, but it would been a nice if the other Apexes of the maps (Rathalos, Legiana and Diablos) could have turf wars with their local Elder like Odogaron has with both Vaals. A turf war between Rathalos vs Kushala could at least end with Kushala getting guaranteed poisoned and some damage before blowing Rathalos away with a tornado. A turf war between Legiana vs Kirin or Namielle could show it trying to use it aerial superiority against them getting in some talon slashes on them before being blasted with electricity. A turf war between Diablos vs Teostra could start with Diablos charging at it .Teostra avoids the attack and Diablos digs into the ground only for it to be then blasted out of the earth by a super nova.

You know me, Capcom should bring back underwater combat oh yeeeees baby!

A Chameleos with Extreme poison would be hell, a fun kind of hell, but hell😊

Happy to see that your hard work is paying off

Elder Dragons are great monsters, though they should't have to be overused a lot. I love your videos on MH stuff btw.

Calmest and most tolerant Wirebug hater

I’m fine with elder dragons becoming less of these powerful, nature altering gods that they were originally portrayed as, in exchange of them becoming more of just weird animals. I think the new games should start to give more light to how every animal in the ecosystem impacts and shapes it instead of just the elder dragons changing everything with unexplained (or poorly explained) god-like weather altering powers. But, to compromise, I think most of the people of monster hunter should still fear elder dragons and see them as these super powerful, nature defying beasts, because of old myths or legends that fuel the cultural perception of elder dragons. I think that going out in the field and the game presenting elders differently than what we’re told they’re like can be interesting, and is just like how we portray some animals like in real life. Because like real life, not everyone in the monster hunter world is going to know enough about these animals to form a more rational and nuanced perspective about them.

Give them zenith blights for sure

You could see that the Leviathans skeleton dont work in mhw by just looking at kulve

Which one is this?

world daora's special ability you die of old age

Small list of monsters that use the exact same skeleton: Khezu and Gypceros Astalos and Rathian Kelbi and Kirin Gore Magala and Valstrax Zamtrios and Tetsucabra as you all can see, the reutilization of previously existing skeletons in the making of new monsters illustrates a SEVERE lack of ideas and creativity, since all of the monster pairs listed above play out homogeneously. Gore and Valstrax specially, the second is litteraly just a RESKIN RECOLOR MONSTER X AND MONSTER Y WALK INTO A BAR version of the first. Shame.
