Keep it related to Monster Hunter. Plain and simple. If it's questionable, be ready to back it up.
๐ Respect Your Fellow Hunters
Greenhorns or oldhats, we all start somewhere in the series. Everyone is welcome.
No racism, bigotry, flaming, trolling, or any other behavior unbecoming of a guild hunter. We're here to play and discuss Monster Hunter with like-minded folks, act like it.
No "game shaming": This isn't a place for title vs title arguments. Take that to steam forums or elsewhere. Compare/contrast mechanics between games, discuss what worked or didn't and how. Devolving into flame wars of "MHX sucks, gib more MHY" will not be tolerated.
No "off-meta" shaming: having fun playing the game is the meta. Discuss strats, builds, and give suggestions, but that's all they are, suggestions.
๐ Original Art Only
No AI art: too easy to spam, too low effort.
Attribute original artists with links, watermarks, and mentions where available. If you don't know the source, say so.
If an internet sleuth finds a poster cribbing others' art as their own, that's a bannable offense.

Been using Gunlance since MHFU. I remember my reason for using being that it is both a melee and a range weapon. I tried sniping a Velociprey back then, wondered why it didn't hit, realized it was more of a shotgun weapon. Literally picked it up because I thought GL was cool looking. Basically it is my main though I have been broadening my portfolio. In MHW, Charge Blade was an easy switch since GL and CB share some similar skills (Guard and Artillery). I also got into SnS for its perfect rush. In Rise, Greatsword got its fair share of use, is probably my second main under GL.
Boomsticking is a noble profession, but seems to get the ass end of the stick for QoL and balance, based on what I read. I've never clicked with it, even in RiseBreak. And, pre-Shockproof, I was growing hateful of GLers for Bullet Barrage. But that jet propulsion system is cool as shit and looks fun.
