Alatreon is a joke

[buttered sausage]

As a casual player Alatreon is near impossible. Sure there are the sweats who will tell me to get better, but frankly I like hunting joining and hunting with others. They made a great boss then decided at add a elemental damage check around 6 minutes into the fight? Its a compete joke and is unplayable. Qd into numerous lobbies today where it was felt like it was going well every doing dmg with high dps weapons, then boom fight over. Stupid ♥♥♥ mechanics like this ruins the game an only appeals the the SWEATS egos, CHANGE MY MIND
I think the mechanic of the Escaton Judgement being a "You must do X amount of dmg very early on or its over" is a huge joke, like how am I supposed to enjoy a fight with others when its over pre 6 minutes 90% of the time

Meanwhile in some other games:

F**al Fanta** => "This pudding is immune to physical attack. This undead monster absorbs instant-death magic as healing instead. That flying fireball can not be attacked with physical (too agile) or fire magic (absorbed). This boss casted reflect shield to your allied party so any healing on my party is reflected to the boss instead. Holy freak, that L*** V***** boss takes more than minutes of fully coordinated team to beat"

G** E***r => "This monster is strong againts slashing attack, that one is weak to piercing."

T** La** Rem**** => "This boss must be defeated in 10 turn, otherwise instant gameover"

Devil May Cry (yes, I can fully use this name since it is related to MHW) => " SPARDA!!! "

D*** So**s => " ... YOU DIED"

It is this kind of monster that adds challenge and yes it is not intended for casual player, thus it is why only for Master rank too.

"As a casual player Alatreon is near impossible"
meanwhile
"As pro player, it's attacks are jokes, very easy to evade or read around. It doesn't have any insta-killer combo like Kirin thunder-paralyze or quick one hit killer. If your weapon has guard then all attacks can be guarded too unlike Shara's mega beam which SHOULD NOT BE GUARDED. Just bring health boost 3, upgraded armor and eat Elemental Res L in canteen. Get the 200 HP with the nutrient or ancient pill, decent elemental weapon and you should be safe"

Summary: Just another "Git Gud"

Well, like I wrote, repeated: it is not intended for casual player

Now then hunters, are you a casual hunters or at least better-than-casual hunters?

Don't be a loser, be a winner.

This will be another thread where people will try to explain how to do Alatreon, but you are here to be right and won't accept any other opinion.

If you still want to kill Alatreon and this is not another thread just to complain, why don't you create another thread with a title like "Can someone help me with Alatreon?". An average player can carry you on a duo hunt, as long as you do a bit of the right elemental damage and don't cart too much.

[Faust Wither]

I don't know why people rushing fighting alatreon when they know they only gonna carting right away, it waste of time is more better for them to just hunt something else. BIG BRAIINNN

[DoT]

MHW isn't just about you, some people love ridiculously hard monsters to fight and capcom delivers, if you want to beat alatreon you simply have to get better, it would be upsetting for the tryhards if their was a "push to win" button and their aren't many very hard monsters that the better players can experience the thrill of the hunt from.

[CourtesyFlush09]

Alatreon is the first of what may be a series of endgame monsters that many casual players won't be able to handle. The trend could continue because we might be nearing the end of IB's lifecycle.

I kind of like it though. It's only gonna get tougher from here.

Yet another one of these threads.

At first, I thought you were just a sucky player, but then I read this final remark and realized this is just a bait thread. Seems like Alatreon's become the "low hanging fruit" of the forum for Trolls looking to dip their toe in the shallow water. Don't worry big FAN, one day you too will be a Master Baiter like the big boys.

Alatreon will be a monster >10% of players will kill in their playtime, seems kinda odd Capcom would market a new monster and make it require so much to kill

Why the hell did you censor the game titles? It's not against the rules to mention other games.

♥♥♥♥, we've gotten who knows how many "Is this like dark souls?" posts since before launch.

[Hyacinthus]

Ah yes my daily dose of alatreon sucks threads

By learning the fight and grouping with other people who have learned the fight?

Make friends.

Or, y'know, go to the monster hunter guild hall discord and find groups with people who know how to play.

Alatreon is a post game super boss, of course he would be hard. But even then I don't think less than 10% of players will kill Alatreon to be honest, Alatreon really isn't as hard as he could've been, Imagine If his hitboxes were as bad as Tigrex's.

I agree could be much worse, Ive enjoyed the short fights, but joining SOS playing for 2-10 minutes majority of the time then looking for new lobby gets old. All because of the escraton damage check.

Well, random forum moderators here don't like games outside Capcom mentioned.

Anyway, I agreed this post is like saying DMC's "Dante Must Die" or "Hell and Hell" difficulty is impossible for casual players" . Isn't that just obvious?

Making threads entirely dedicated to games that aren't the subject of the forum can get you punished if a moderator is feeling pissy.

MENTIONING other games in a comparative fashion? Not remotely against the rules. If they punish you, contest it. They're abusing their power.
