Why is "friendly fire" so weak now?

[Smug Anime Squid]

One of my favorite things in past MH games as a hammer user has been sending my friends flying in the air :(

[BigJ]

Hammer is the only one that still can, although a lot of people are running the anti friendly fire decor, it's a very common drop and most of the other options are meh

[Inconzii]

I thought they removed friendly fire entirely? Did a patch put it back in or something?
I for one actually love getting thrown into the air

the flinch free and shockproof decorations are completely useless in wilds as the devs completely removed friendly fire, no more hammer bros helping you do mounts or saving you out of a stun

i really like making peeps fly with my swax upper cut and sometimes u could save peeps that way like when they are paralyzed/stunned and you could at least reposition them away from harm

or lob them infront of the boss cuz ur evil af

Oh, it's there. But so many are wearing that shockproof which means no hits count. Myself included. Using it makes it so you, nor others against you, can super man ya.

In friend groups we take it off, and I'm able to golf swing them with greatsword no issue.

As someone who had all of my attacks interrupted by my longsword using friend before we had access to decorations,

This is incorrect information, friendly fire definitely still exists without flinch free or shockproof

I believe they said in an interview that they removed friendly fire for now but it might come back in a future MH. It was a deliberate design choice to make multiplayer less frustrating for new players.

Not true and even with the shockproof deco I have had several dual blade users knock me out of my lance blocks and counter attacks.

Still in though and the deco to prevent it, though it seems bugged as even with it on dual blades still hit me.

On the one hand I miss sending people flying with my swaxe. On the other hand I'm glad we don't have any more drama about which part of the body is reserved for specific weapons.

I've been wearing my anti-flinch ever since I got it. All my friends who play are also wearing it.

I'm pretty sure what you're experiencing is just that- because flinch DOES exist, but most people who play multiplayer have anti-friendly flinch equipped.

World and Wilds is for the casual crowds. Who need hand holding and safety nets.
