Question from a noob about fight length

[BANTER]

Is it normal for fights to go on for 15 min+ or am I just terrible at the game? having fun though but just wondering

[DarkQuenkin]

You shouldn't care how much time it takes if it's fun. It's pretty different for every person. Some monsters are easy to beat with specific equipment while being pretty hard with another. So time doesn't really matter until it don't bother you.

[Peshmerga]

It's fine if you're new.

The game has a pretty big learning curve to weapons, systems and monsters, your times will go down as you learn more!

Harder monsters can still take 10-15m+, but as you get better you'll be mulching the jobber monsters in 1-2 minutes.

it is normal for this games... but MHW has problem, for me fights from start takes only 3-4 minuts :( ... its brutal easy

[TheOriginalSin]

it gets better. untill you get higher tier weapon upgrades (its slow untill you beat the main story) fights can take somewhat long. thats why you see everyone rushing the story of it cause everyone wants to get to high rank items and crazy builds start coming in.

Focus mode is all about this game, so that if you are a noob, it is a good way to spending time in the training area until you master how to use in prior to go hunting.

This is perfectly normal for a first timer.

Once you get combos and timings down things go a bit quicker. Weave in some item use and use explosives and traps like you've got an unlimited supply and fights go by quicker.

Don't expect many fights to take you less than 10-20 mins as a newbie though. There is a lot of depth to the game that isn't very apparent at first. You're not doing anything wrong, this is exactly how it's supposed to go.

Thats an okay time. My times fluctuate between 7 and 15 minutes between different monsters with currently swapping a lot through the weapons. You have got to learn the weapons, got to learn the monsters. Dont compare yourself with those sweaty experts and speedrunners that rush everything down in 2 minutes.

Dont listen to those idiots who tend to speedrun or exploit stuff.. 15 min is still a great time for when you never played games like this extensivly. Back then in Freedom Unite the minimum you could pull on some monsters , especiel solo, was around 30 minutes. And even if you conquer the controlls this time around, you will encounter enemies that are simply resistend or outright imune to your attacks thus it will take time.

That's pretty average so yeah. No sweat
