tsukumo feels useless and needs major buffs, online play keeps breaking

[hatfieldt40]

I put in for help in missions and no-one comes for 30 minutes even if I repeat call for it a few times, then says ea online play something or another, (once even spam locked me into hits) it started bricking (play on PC) nearly every session and refuses to work until a full pc restart. stopped working properly once the stupid pass ended I got for the demo

I have 200/200 orbs but tsukumo is useless nearly all the time, levels are 8 9 7 10, can't fully upgrade it even with every orb
when he is in attack mode he does like 24 dmg every 4 seconds and locks him out of doing something useful.
game insults you by letting you get 1-2 shot in a combo, tells you to he got agro after you died, tells you that you should use him as bait when you can't command him
shot wind tiger 48 times with harpoons and ran to refill thread over and over for 64 minutes to solo since online play is broken and he leaves no openings to attack doing an attack every 0.7 seconds with no pause forever so any time you draw your bow to do anything he will hit you again

TLDR simple fix. give us 2 tsukumo, make one tank/dps, the other is threader/heal/dps (can still taunt so mist can heal the tank up or accept you will be dodging half the time when he is in error mode), when you enhance dps it helps both of them and their boxes do roughly 30 and 60 each (currently 24, its freaking pitiful). and let 200 be fully upgraded so when you can't get co-op which is still always better, you at least have a chance, especially since the game population is dropping off fast and late game assist is even less populated

I feel real bad for people without internet tbh. Because I do agree that getting told a useless tip that doesn't help you gets annoying. If you didn't eat, they should tell you to eat, if you forgot your tsukumo, they should tell you to bring them.

two tsukumo would at least come close to the level of utility that monster hunter rise has given their offline userbase. As you said, online is the better experience, especially if you're fighting volatile stuff.

I can't say it's useless though, as it at least amounts to a periodic tree or rock to get thread from. I reset mine to focus on defense, revival and threading. I used my spare one cog for attack. lol.

How about you gitting gud?
This is a monster hunter esque, not an MMO mate.

Only thing this post reads is "I cannot get carried online, so allow me to get carried by NPC's"

sorry we didn't all look up meta builds and no life it the first week and only got to play on weekends. sure you can stun lock exploit with sleep and stuff but at that point are you even playing the game. asking for simple functions like npc and co-op a touted feature before release to you know...work. that's not asking too much. even rerolling the cogs cost 3000 orbs so an extra 2 hunts or more at this point

Not to be that guy but the game gives you so many tools to handle enemies even solo it's kind of crazy. Just practice and you'll figure it out. It's not easy but it's definitely doable.

Also I always have people join my hunts within 30 seconds to 3-4 minutes, so weird to me you're having issues finding people to help you.

There is no such thing in a meta build lmao.
That's the funny thing, the only thing a meta build does is make the game easier, which you would not have the need if you... well, git gud.
Overall you want a second tsukumo to be a tank and a healer, because you cannot get a random player to carry your weight, because you cannot even spend 5 minutes looking for these so called "meta builds"

Not sure if your post is either lame, or simply a Clown farm.

Here is a hint. Cannon, Crossbow, and cleansing pot. Use them. They will carry you through any fight solo, and the little bit is great. Not only can he heal you, he gives you free thread when you're running low to keep spamming things with. If you're dying in one hit, that's not a problem with your robo buddy. That's a you problem. Look at your build, and adjust the face the issue that's killing you. He takes agro for you anytime you drop below a third health, assuming he hadn't JUST done so for you, or is out of commission. The attack form needs a buff I agree, but everything else works wonders.

Also 2 hunts for 3k? You can get that with like 5 minutes of just running around, and then selling stuff you don't need.
