You're exactly right, Arrol. After the amazingness that was MH3U, I never expected something so horrible. I had my doubts about it being portable only, but I'm not a closed-minded guy. I didn't, and still don't, like the fact that it wasn't ported to the WiiU, but I'm not going to get hung up on that and keep bitching about it because there are things in this game that are far more heinous than that. Lack of voicechat/keyboard during quests, rare drop rates, and high-level guild quests are just to name a few.
Currently I'm trying to make the Helios X armor. If you remember this armor from 3U, it was only a rarity of nine and required only TWO rare drops: Two dark dragongems from Goldbeard Caedeus. In a two hour span of doing that quest 9 times, I got both dragongems with ease. In 4U, the Helios X is a rarity of ten and requires the following rare drops:
1. TWO deep dragongems, which you must trade TWO Contrary Scales for. Those that might be reading this that don't play 4U, Contrary scales from Chaotic Gore Magala and are quite possibly the rarest item in the game, aside from the Molten Tigrex's Dire Blastheart. They have less than a 4% carve rate and drop rate in the quest box after successful completion
2. TWO Large Wyvern Gems, which admittedly aren't that hard to get unless the Serpentine Serenade quest decides to a fucking wad, which is totally possible because this is 4U.
3. A Desert Seltas Queen Concentrate. Once again, an incredibly rare drop. Less than a 4% carve rate and a 4% drop rate in the box after successful completion of the quest. What makes this one SUPER fun is that the Desert Seltas Queen drops REGULAR concentrate like candy, and the icon for it looks the same as the D.S. Concentrate. Took me 23 quests to get this item. -_-
4. A Rathian Mantle. To my knowledge, these are tail-only carves and box rewards after successful completion of the quest. They also have a stupid-low drop rate. Fortunately I already had two when I started making this armor. Took me 4 days to get those two, though.
The Helios X armor needs ALL OF THAT in MH4U. I've been trying to make that armor for two weeks, and I still don't have a single contrary scale. They are the only rares that I'm missing, and with the way people die on Chaotic Gore Magala, I'll never get them. I'm always stuck in a room with idiots using his weapons that have massive negative affinity on them until you overcome the frenzy. The problem with these morons is, they never overcome the frenzy, so they're stuck doing -40% affinity damage, which means we never finish the quest and they all die...
I'm telling you, man, I could write a novel with everything that's wrong with this game. The more I sit and think about it, the more unfortunate it becomes. I never expected 4U to be this fucking bad.
