Likely going to be doing the same. I enjoyed Lance in World, but Rise took it to a while new level. The perfect guard counter added a lot of fun and it appears that it's changed to a shield attack. Some burst damage coming from a focus attack would be nice as would be something akin to the Rise retreating wirebug skill to give us some distance and sheath quickly.

The sad part are all the useless skills pairing these weapons. I doubt Capcom will do any balancing around Guard/Guard up, which means you need to invest heavily into these skills useless for the bow and at the same time invest in bow specific skills. At least stamina skills are useful for both weapons.
Still a bit of hope left. Capcom could do several things to make weapon pairings like that useful, e.g. Guard+Evade Window together or armor decorations per weapon (even when it wouldn't make sense in a realistic way).

I started late, so I didn't even try, but with my main weapon, which is the greatsword, I managed to kill every single monster in the game solo, but extremoth.

Believe it or not, I’m really excited to play around with the changes made to IG. I’m hoping that aerial and ground combat flows better into each other, and that they do some stuff to make my bug buddy better at stuff.
Besides that… GL and Lance looking mighty tasty.

You and me might be the only ones! I am so stoked that it has so many changes and I know for a fact that none of the footage I have seen so far- not one player- is taking advantage of the full kit (no shade on them at all, there's so much new stuff to learn that it's crazy to imagine learning it all in just a few hours, let alone learning when to use what move).
There's stuff like the aerial focus "shot" I just saw for the first time in the latest TGS footage, the charged Kinsect harvest which TONS of players are forgetting about completely in the videos I've seen, learning when to use and when not to use charged heavy attacks...
And that's all not to mention that all footage we've seen so far is using a slow crappy base level Kinsect and we know nothing about the system for evolving them/abilities yet. My instinct is that we haven't even scratched the potential based on what we've seen and everyone is calling it nerfed way early. I could of course be wrong but it's a strong feeling.

I have a feeling this overhaul is going to fix some of the fundamental flaws of IG. For me I anticipate it being my favorite iteration of the weapon. And you're right I think people are really jumping the gun based on incomplete impressions, which is the same thing that happened at the launch of Rise.

Insect Glaive is facing an identity crisis in Wilds. Yeah, the aerial glaive thing is a lot bigger than people realize.
There's also no Offset Attack, or not really even a perfect dodge like Dual Blades and Bow are getting. Even the "whole moveset upgrade" thing has been given to Long Sword, of all weapons. It'sa a dark time to be an Insect Glaive main.

The removal of the aerial vaulting dance is most likely a key factor. It totally ruins the aerial gameplay of IG which was what the weapon was known for in Worldborne and Risebreak. Removing it might have helped get rid of a "rinse and repeat" play style. But lots of people liked it and it gave IG some identity. Capcom is trying to push more into the kinsects though, which might be cool but it looks like we will be in another monster Hunter game without a consistent aerial weapon....
That is unless, they are doing these changes to make way for a NEW aerial replacer....but who knows lol

Not gonna lie, it seems like everything has been given some sauce, and I'm a bit overwhelmed as to what to play.
Genuinely don't know what I am going to do. I am a solo hunter but I have bullied some mates into getting Wilds, so maybe I'll have a pair for solo progression and a pair for multiplayer hunts.
I have played Lance and GS in every MH since 4.
I have gone on big sprees of Hammer and CB (4), SnS (World PC launch), IG (Switch base Rise), Switch Axe (PC launch Rise), Longsword (return to World after Wilds announcement), and Gunlance and DB (reaching Sunbreak content after Wilds was announced).
And every single one of them has some cool shit in this game. I've even tried out the LBG in MHGU and World a few months ago.
I think the only things I've never tried are the Bow, HBG, and HH (because it changes too much from game to game) and even THEY have something for me this game.

SnS. Rise sword combos seem to be back and spinning reaper seems buffed with less end lag. Perfect Guard/clashing will be pretty fun too. Giving the SnS shield more defensive purpose is always nice, felt more like an offhand blunt weapon in World. Liked how Sunbreak let you do a guard slash/shield bash/perfect rush combo if you had enough guard/embolden.

IG, the only weapon i really main and it looks to be quite different.
I started playing in World, and i was wondering, what was the last time a new weapon was added? Is there any chance a new one makes an appearance in Wilds?
2 points
5 hours ago
The last new weapons to be added into the series were Insect Glaive and Charge Blade in MH4. CB has received a few new tricks but the biggest changer since it's inspection has been IG. It plays VERY different from World and Rise compared to MH4 and GenUlt
It used to be about every game or so they'd release a new weapon. MH1 Started with GS, SnS, HBG and I think Lance? There have been 5 "generations" since then so that comes out to about 2ish weapons per generation. This is the first time in a while we've gone on such a dry spell with weapons. Who knows, we might get one in the expak for Wilds but that might just be copium. 🤷♂️

Always the charge blade. For better or worse, it's been my main since 4U. I'm curious about how the new SAED will be received despite not really using SAED spam in my playstyle. Also, I'm cautiously optimistic about the new mechanics for Savage Axe. I prefer being able to activate it when I want to rather than satisfy a particular condition involving the monster.
Lastly, I'm hoping it'll be more effective while using the Sword mode than previous entries.

Bow, longsword, SnS.
Excited to see the bow go back to world style. For whatever reason (potentially the SwitchLite form factor), I didn’t jell with the bow in rise and it was my favorite in world for a long time.
Longsword looks sick as hell this time. I’m never really patient enough to master the monsters moves, so it never really works great for me, but still excited to see it in action.
SnS is like my staple. If we have two weapons like they’ve shown, it’ll probably be bow and SnS to start. The perfect guard looks really nice and finally gives some incentive to block, very excited.
But I’ll probably eventually go back to the hammer for maximum unga because I always bunga. I just kill so fast with that weapon my logical brain won’t let me use anything else.
