Okay so are most of you using this mod or just playing vanilla. I wanna play online with randoms so I wanted to know which is more popping.

What is ICE?

Iceborne Community Edition.

An overhaul driven by community feedback and suggestions. Has some nice QOLs on top of no clagger and tenderizing not being required.

There is a lot more to it, of course. You would have to read the actual mod for more deets.

Buffing ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ HBG, lol.

It makes easier? Alright then im not using it lol. But could you let us know what makes it easy tho?

Lots of changes on pretty much every weapons, for instance in the base game gunlances have 1 of 3 types of shelling each stronger at one thing over the others. ICE changes that to make every gunlance have only 1 type that has all the stronger buffed values of each shelling type on every shelling move. Oh, and they removed one of the new moves from Iceborne but buffed shelling values some more on top of that. ICE makes most weapons dumb stupid easy and strong.

Really? The last time that I used the mod, HBG was nerfed as well as Fatty armor and weapons.

You guys can easily check for yourself the ICE changelog, it's a google search away and you can simply ctrl+f your favorite weapon and see whatever change it has, much better than me going on a rant about how they know ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about HH and such.

Thank you for this example.

ICE Gunlance is so much easier since it gives it an Omni type where dpeending on how you fire the shells, it chenges the type. a poke shell combo would be a wide shell, using 2 shells so its as if it were the low capacity of the wide shell lances, charging would make it a long shell, and using full burst would be normal shells. it really makes the weapon a little less complicated to build around

The majority is playing vanilla, ICE is great but has smaller playerbase.
Lots of mods work with vanilla online but sadly ICE isn't that modular.

i like the idea of ICE, but it would break too many of my other mods.

They didn't "buff" HBG. It is severely nerfed from base game and also way harder to play. As it stands right now ICE mod is just the brother to Sunbreak for gunner balance, where everyone and their mom thinks HBG is broken when LBG has been genuinely blatantly overpowered for like 7 games now and Bow being the shy cousin in the corner that is literally gamebreaking but no one talks about it. LBG is OP AF is this mod, way stronger than HBG ever was. The hyper armor melee (basically Rise tackle) is really nice for the HBG but as far as I'm aware it doesn't have built in damage reduction, so it's pretty limited in application outside of a good replacement to roar countering now that shield is dead.

The only good thing this mod did for HBG was minor Wyvernsnipe buffs (both specials still kind of suck) and the well deserved normal, cluster, slicing, and wyvern ammo buffs. HBG comes out at the very best net neutral with this mod, but is much harder to play properly and is now a full on evade extender/tackle weapon like Rise.

Firstly, you won't be able to see people's SOS\lobbies without ICE mod if you are using it - and vice versa, if you are using ICE - people without ICE won't be able to see your SOS\lobbies.
Secondly. Any sort of non-gameplay mods won't affect multiplayer in a meaningful way (i.e. cosmetic). Game uses all the data for character-related stuff (Weapon movesets, attack, skills and their values, armor defense\slots, etc.). from CLIENT'S side, NOT host's. So if you have 10000 attack weapon and you join someone else's quest - you are still going to be using 10000 attack weapon - and dealing corresponding amounts of damage. (Btw, iron 1 10000 attack weapons is the most common cheat mod that you'll see people use online due to how obvious it is).

And thirdly.. OP asked people here if they play with ICE or without it due to first point.
