i killed Rei Dau

[Schiggy]

and I disagree with people saying hes too easy.
He has a good difficulty and I remember in Worlds the Orange Tempered Monsters were also about this level of difficulty.

The only monsters harder than this were Fatalis and Behemoth Extreme

The posts here might suggest that people think AT Rey Dau is too easy, but this is only a small fraction of the playerbase here.

After playing my fair share of the event mission with randoms, there are quite a few people that seem to struggle with some attacks or if it starts to chain a lot of hard hitters and I aggree with you, the game is quite similar in difficulty if you compare both games in low and high rank

He is easy, all of his attacks have small area of effect, can easily be dodged away. Not once was I nuked by single attack even that massive lightning strike he charge up.

Rey is easy, people who have problem with him most likely didn't upgrade armor or get some resistance against lightning. Knowing some people most likely still run around in first HR armor they have.

But he is not third hardest boss so far. That is just not true.

Showing weakness on the Internet is taboo. 90% of the "bluh bluh too easy" nonsense is just posturing because they don't want randoms to think them "weak" for having realistic, normal problems... nor even finding it okay. It has led to a toxic mentality where if it is possible to do the first time, it isn't sufficient for them to flex about, and they immediately start whining.

Personally I only have one real complaint about the ATRD fight: It is too fŭckin dark. I suspect it is just a default setting for the RE Engine since it was made for horror games. Dragon's Dogma 2 had the same basic issue with awkward lighting. Somehow the Rise team managed to circumvent it effectively..... but Wilds is another awful case where it is a nuisance just to see what is going on clearly.

and some ppl killed fatalis just with consumables. some ppl killed him with high rank.... there are always ppl who look for more. At fight is not so bad, not every weapon on you want to run away from mosnter. Fight has a lot of moves and mixups, sure if you play something braindead like ranged weapon you mostly wont care about anything and just keep distance, but with melee weapons story is different. For a high rank fight its not too bad (you cant rly have a good uptime in head if you dont p.block or parry most of his attacks, there are some easy melee weapons like dual blades where you are so fast you can just move in and move out but not every melee weapons works this way, i just wish time limit was 10m not 13

Why do you hate Gunner weapons so much? What is your beef? Are you just bugged because Gunners kept outperforming you no matter how much you flailed your pointy stick around?

cuz it clearly takes less effort than melee weapons, and combined with heroics you can turn some fight into simple 1 button spam where monster cant even do anything cause you output so much damage that its braindead. Example (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cxQLCt79WZE), doubt anything else in game can kill it this braindead, and its not about damage its about execution, and a bit of stupidity in this forum, cause if you play something like heavy bow gun, you can already ignore most of attacks just cause you are far, you can keep attacking without rly caring wtf monster does, and than you say pfff fight is easy

You clearly haven't thought this through at all. You are only focusing on offense.

We've generally got higher damage output and much lower survivability. In case you somehow missed it, the main reason most players use Blademaster weapons is because it lets them mindlessly face-tank attacks that could kill an inexperienced Gunner in one hit. i.e. They pick Bladey weapons because it takes less effort to survive than Gunner weapons. The flipside is that they spend over half the hunt just chasing the monster down to attack because their range is crap, so their damage output is inconsistent.

and combined with heroics you can turn some fight into simple 1 button spam

You're bringing up Heroics Speedrunner builds while trying to back up your claim that Gunner weapons "take less effort". Almost like you don't understand how much effort it takes speedrunners to be able to use those builds effectively. And it isn't like anyone else uses Heroics builds normally.
Like I said... you're just not thinking this through.

ppl take melee weapons cause they actually want to outplay attacks, not just stay far and ignore half of monster arsenal... what the point if you get more damage if most of monster attacks dont even reach you. Speedrunner builds?????? wana bet i just use same set and kill valkhana like that dude pretty much in 5m of practice? also melee heroic runs also exsist i wonder how they facetank it based on your logic

"easy and low-effort"
*shows a high-level execution by someone who is clearly a pro-tier HBG user*

The only reason why you would think this is braindead because you have no brains.

not gonna bother hunt small size valk, cause i dont want to mod client just to get small monsters(if you didnt know that's what speedrunners do, yes mod small size monsters, at least in old titles) thats only thing stops me doing it

Sure. Another comment, another proof that you're just all talk.

i am against any mods in all games, you do understand that hbg execution is a lot more forgiving if you play kbm?

he's not hard just really annoying, like when he yells he pulls his head WAAAY back for some stupid reason, and because of this I kept missing those true charged slashes...it's like they literally did this on purpose to troll GS users
