User blog comment:BannedLagiacrus/Monster Appreciation Week: Plesioth (4th Gen)/@comment-26532315-20161209091651

clears throat

Okay, first of all - what FRESH FUCK must have gone wrong in the designer's mind, when they did THIS!! Just THIS!!! I cannot imagine them thinking: "Oh, hunters already hated it in the first gen, second gen, third gen, and were so glad it was NOT there in the 4 gen... LET'S BRING IT BACK IN A CELEBRATION GAME (!!)."

Revamping a monster can go both ways, good or bad. Lagiacrus's (to give another out-of-the-water example) revamp went astonishingly well, nice new attacks, some good combos and even a sort of new rage mode. PLESIOTH on the other hand such a downgrade that it isn't even necessary to CARE about this thing. In first and second Gen Plesioth usually was one of the first big wyverns, a sort of introduction to tanks like Gravios and DIablos and the only one to be in the water and be able to fight from there (even though that was terribly done), he had something new. And NOW?? FUCK is he HIGH RANK exclusive for????? To make the amount of potions and lifepowders a hunter has smaller?? To scare the shit out of a HR5 newbie with Glavenus or MIzutsune armor (I fought him with Aerial Narga GS and LR Glavenus Armor - even though I killed it, it went horrible!)?? New atttacks? ACHARGEDFUCKINGHIPCHECKOHMYGOSHWHY!!! And a forgettable Sleep Bite, which I don't know how is done, but okay.

Usually, monsters that are a pain in the ass to fight, give awesome armor and equipment (I look at you, MR. Dreadking). Plesioth, however, doesn't even give good armor and weapons, besides the fact that they all lok horrible!!!! Which makes him even MORE forgettable and an even BIGGER pain in the ass. Seriously, I can't remember when I fought my last Plesioth in MHGen. He just showed up as Urgent Quest and *poof* gone he was. How could you put THIS thing as an Urgent Quest - something which I should not be questioning, as the same moron apparently put Yian Garuga as a LR Urgent and the fucking same monster as an Urgent TWICE!!

All in all... Sure, this thing is MH History but it is the part of the history noone should mention at all. Me being a MHFU Veteran makes me extremely glad NOT having needed to fight this fucker in MHF or MH1, as I tried and it went horribly wrong. Third Gen Plesioth was okay for me (I hated his Subspecies with a burning passion), and this Gen's Plesioth... CAN SLEEP BITE MY ASS!!!

Oh, before I forget:


 * HOW COULD ANYONE THINK THAT IT'S A GOOD IDEA TO HAVE PEOPLE FIGHT PLESIOTH IN THE ARENA WITH ALMOST NO DAMN ARMOR AND DEFENSE???


 * Remember Plesitoh in the MHFU Old Desert? That particular HR or GR QUest where he would SWIM AWAY, deeper into the water, leaving you behind in the cave, forced to WAIT FOR HIM (The music went out, the eye simbol went away, etc.)?!?!?!?!? WHOSE FUCKING IDEA WAS THAT AGAIN????!!!?!?!?
