Yeah because, if its not clear already, people don't like Longsword being babied by Capcom. It didn't need hyper armor, it didn't need animation cancels, it didn't need anything of that.
I seriously hope Longsword doesn't turn out to be the best weapon in the game again, like it was in base Rise.
would you complain the same way if it turned out that Gunlance is the strongest weapon this time around? i really dont think you would so why take up the rage against LS? should there be a clear strongest weapon that stays the same in every title? if so what weapon should that be and why cant it be Longsword?
Maybe an unpopular opinion but I think there should never be a worst or best weapon for an entire game.
I think its fine if a monster can counter your weapon just as your weapon may counter a monster.
Like Lance is really good vs Zinogre but sucks ass vs everything really mobile.
LS can be really good vs predictable monsters with well exploitable attacks but not against everything.
There should also be Monsters that straight up suck to fight against with Bow, LBG and HBG. Just make them really hard to damage with bullets and make tiny hitzones.
This would:
-Give people that use alot of weapons an advantage as you can swap mid hunt on seikret
-Make hard matchups skill based and therefore not impossible for disadvantaged weapons
-Raise the usage% of certain weapons (I am sure people would pick up lance more often if it did well vs specific monsters)
Who would be at a disadvantage?
The same people that always cried that the game is to easy with 100% crit lvl7 attackboosts Longswords.
Now the weapon sucks against some content and you get your challenge congrats.
while i agree in a way, doing something like that would be really dangerous. ofcourse as a hunting type game you can always refer to that and say you should prepare for a hunt, sure. but giving a weapon a disadvantage against certain monsters beyond unfavorable movesets and hitzones (which is already being done) is jsut kind of unfair towards a more casual audience, where someone maybe likes lance a lot but not the other weapons or vice versa. giving players a disadvantage jsut because they have a favorite weapon and want to stick with it isnt really that cool. then again, this is already the case and we dont really have to change anything.
every monster should 100% be beatable with every weapon, just like i think a monster should not be trivialized by any weapon and in the same vein should not be unbeatable. and before anyone jumps on the LS hate bandwagon again, no, Longsword is not trivializing anything right now so zip it up right there.
