So it begins, the "Wound priority." discussions.

[Kashra Fall]

There's a popular topic gaining more traction on reddit about "Wound priority." so my initial thoughts on the toxicity this going to cause in Pubs, is pretty much coming to pass. CB and IG people, as well as LS are likely going to do the rage "Reee's" in voice chat if you don't let them get those wound hits. I hope not, but I am not holding my breath on it.

I call all wounds, you see me, you let me do all my special attacks. I called it.

[Tenz]

Wow glad I called it before anyone else.

I can definitely see GS and LS mains going at each others necks for the wound marks

IG chads king of the wound stealing!

[Nall]

Who gives a ♥♥♥♥, a lot of the wound moves take forever and don't do enough damage to make up for the regular attacks you could have been making in that time. If some GS user wants to get all angry and grab every wound, that's great, now I can do my double Wyvern Blast combo without any issues.

Whoever argues what is best in online gameplay, that person is 100% damaged from brain. This is a monster hunter game where 95% of the playerbase does not care about meta gaming at all. Nobody cares if LS destroying the wounds or CB. Literally nobody cares, whoever gets an opening should destroy the wounds doesn't matter the weapon they use. Do not play with randoms and get friends if you want everyone in your lobby to play the way you want.. What you are seeing now is 0.2% of the playerbase arguing each other because they are lower iq than a fish.

The only thing lobby should decide is to capture or kill the monster.

when you tie mechanics to them you will naturally cause friction between players who have mechanics reliant on them and those who don't.

charge blade is an easy example cause to get savage axe you need to hit a wound, or you need to get a proper guard, the former is done through your own actions, and the latter is entirely reliant on the enemy attacking you, making it rng based.

i can completely understand the complaint about it cause there are a few mechanics tied to it that make some weapons better, and then you have some that simply just gain nothing and burn the wound to do damage.

im still of the opinion that 1 wound you inflict should be personal, to prevent this issue, but it is what it is.

Trust me, I agree with you. Wounds are just there as extra damage and part damage and sometimes monster control. However, because they tied these 3 weapons to wounds and perfect blocks to bump their abilities higher, they are wanting to take priority. Me? If I see a wound, I'm taking it.

[Gigadesu!]

Gonna main insect glaive out of spite now.

[Baklavah]

This is likely why I will either play by myself or with my friends. At least I can coordinate with them. I've no interest in fighting with pubs for wounds. Tryhard on your own time, please. I'll pass on trying to bash my head on that wall.

The wound priority is: 'first come, first served.'

The potential gain for the handful of weapons that *do* gain benefit from wounds aren't worth waiting for them to pop the wound when the faster you pop a wound, the faster a new wound will appear in that spot. Any other takes are based purely out of selfishness instead of team play.

Similar to Limit Break in FFXIV, the potential team dps gain from using LB3 is a personal DPS loss for the individual casting it. But we use it because it kills the boss faster even if the person using it has slightly worse personal dps because of it.

I play games to have fun.

[Geirfinna Lieselotte]

As a bow player, man you won't ever have the occasion to hit those wounds before I do

[Noctoculus]

you get the wound if you get past my golf swings

[McFuzz]

It will be the guns taking them because they are always in focus modes.
