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.

I see this as one of those mechanics that's aimed at helping new people get into the series.
Imo it will most likely be more dps, or at least more versatile, to not have your shots locked onto a single body part.
I'm not sure how much the weak point gameplay will even come in as in rise I didn't even really use my silkhind attacks that much. I'm aware they were overpowered but that wasn't really how I wanted to play, so I just didn't use them.
At the end of the day the thing I love most about monster hunter is that while there is a meta, there isn't a huge part of the community that clings to it. As long as you are pulling your weight for the most part it doesn't matter what you use or what you wear.
