1) I actually just bought base World after Iceborne's announcement, so I played after the announcement.

2) Initially, I actually had a normal reaction with Iceborne's announcement, but after discoverinh how painful base World was, I was worried with Iceborne, but turns out, I'm really happy how balanced Master Rank as far as it goes.

3) Master Rank obviously, it's far less confusing than the term G-Rank.

4) I like the mechanic so far, it's not broken or anything, because you still have to be mindful of your usage, especially when monsters are enraged. Regardless, I don't expect the Clutch Claw to return in the next games, but who knows.

5) Meh, not really...

6) Nothing special.

7) Mixed feelings, but more leaned towards yes.

8) I really like two of them so far, but for the second question...I'm not sure about that...

9) Ebony Odogaron and Fulgur Anjanath. The former is as awesome as Stygian Zinogre, and the later is actually fun and engaging than the garbage that is Anjanath.

10) Nightshade Paolumu. Why? Take normal Paolumu's level of annoyance, then give it sleep status, and there you have one of the most frustrating hunts in the entire series. Viper Tobi Kadachi is next to Nightshade Paolumu, the combination of poison and paralysis together is just unfun.

11) I really like the variants in Iceborne. My favorite variant is Savage Deviljho, which is the best gameplay redesign. Why? Because they completely change it's fighting style without ruining it, unlike how the developers did to Lavasioth.

12) Gameplay design wise is solid, but the story execution wise is rather poor, like Brachydios in 3 Ultimate.

13) Really great so far. My least favorite Iceborne's returnee is Tigrex, but even Tigrex itself isn't that bad.

14) Hmm...I'm not sure about that, Gammoth really fits Iceborne's theme, on the other hand, Glavenus is one of my all-time favorites...

15) Hmm, does this question includes Subspecies or just normal monsters?

16) Akantor and Ukanlos, because I just really like these two and the later would fit Icbeorne's theme very well.

17) None as of now.

18) I don't know, problably a new 5th Gen MonHun for Switch perhaps? 'Cause I just prefer mobile gaming over home gaming...
