[faint light]

are you at least HR 100?

[mighty tide]

HR 80

and I've been rocking Binder Mace for the entirety of HR

I've been gunning and farming for a Blast Artian for days now

[faint light]

you'll be able to meld part types instead of a random rarity 8 part

at HR100

[mighty tide]

I thought that's an option for decos

but whatever, a balance option for me then

I'll turn in relic tickets for rng instead of the deterministic one at HR100

then at 100 ill dismantle shit

less op

[mighty tide]

okay so

this is actually more than I expected

well I guess I can make an affinity one

[mighty tide]

M+KB

[finite zephyr]

???

all charge blade does is spam circle

literally fill phials load into shield fill phials guard point or wound into savage axe o spam for 2 minutes

[mighty tide]

[hollow coral]

so what weapons are you guys using

[chrome anvil]

All of them

(Blademaster$

[finite zephyr]

Brass knuckles

[boreal crane]

i just did most of the sidequests

those fishing quests are so ass

[mighty tide]

Learnt a cool interaction

Maximum Might is really nice since you get 30% affinity

but you can't keep stamina full all the time, so its inconsistent

But if you pair it with the Guardian Fulgur 2-piece set, you get an extra stamina bar that you can burn and it will still keep Maximum Might active

[bright nimbus]

I never use stamina as hh so it's always up

[mighty tide]

you burn it by dodging

so this lets you get away with dodges for repositioning

[bright nimbus]

you don't know how long I stand still lol

[boreal crane]

i always use stamina as i'm db

[bright nimbus]

also which weapons use stamina

[hollow coral]

i didn't know there were brass knuckles

[bright nimbus]

I know db and bow(?) is heavy on stamina use

[boreal crane]

that's about it

[bright nimbus]

but idk outside of that

ok

[boreal crane]

maybe hammer if you charge it a lot but idk if that's good

[bright nimbus]

I have the stamina song on my para hh so I just use it whenever but idk when to prioritize it outside of those 2

[mighty tide]

think its mostly with GS and Hammer

[chrome anvil]

sa chugs stam

though idk if this game is sword 24/7 yet

anything that blocks too

[faint light]

ive been using it on IG and if i was a god gamer, i can have it up 99% of the time. the new offset attack is pretty good so i dont have to rely on dodge as much

[gilded wagon]

whats dodge

https://tenor.com/view/monster-hunter-wilds-lance-gif-11183713200584960500

[chrome anvil]

so true

[latent elm]

bruh]

the ore gun with pierc 2 hit harder than gor w/ 3

[cinder creek]

I crashed again

https://tenor.com/view/ome-om-flight-flightreacts-ome44-gif-13101437609979598143

yeah im done solo hunting

im gonna sos

[mighty tide]

im not really crashing but im just getting connection issues

idk what the fuck is happening

[cinder creek]

you lagging? or communication error cause mh online is client side

[mighty tide]

communication errors

just now i was messing around in training area

and got sent to offline mode

[cinder creek]

ah rip

[mighty tide]

there's currently a storm going on but like

im nowhere near it

unless you're telling me a cyclone hitting the UK somehow interferes with my internet connection

or a massive storm on the other side of the country is affecting me

[cinder creek]

might be an isp problem

[mighty tide]

bro everything else works fine

im just getting annoying connection issues recently, like the start of yesterday

[cinder creek]

i think mh online play just might be shit idk

jp companies aren't really known to be good at online stuff

[gilded wagon]

they state that problem but didnt promise to fix it in upcoming monday patch

[mighty tide]

at least i know its not an issue primarily on my end

you know how fucking stress inducing that shit is when you're trying to troubleshoot but wondering if its just you

[gilded wagon]

X · Mar 7, 2025, 10:00 AM

also whoever that still farming fish pond and flower

keep farming

they might "fix" it in that patch too

[mighty tide]

i've farmed it for like

2 moon cycles

and im done

#1288266318424051814 message

still helped tho

I started with 1 Blast/Affinity Disc

now I got 1 Blast/Attack and 3 Blast/Affinity

Some skills are unintentionally activated under certain conditions.

I hope this isn't gonna fuck me because I recently made the Guardian Anjanath set

and that gives a little extra stamina bar, good enough for 1 dodge and enough for a full mighty swing

and it keeps Maximum Might active cuz you're still "at full stamina"

[latent elm]

I'm pretty sure that's intentional

Considering MM is on fulgur set

[tame kestrel]

wonder what this is

[mighty tide]

this actually happened to me once

I pulled a floating rubble down

and it kept duping itself

[bright nimbus]

that sounds nice

[mighty tide]

it killed arkveld by doing like 3k dmg each time

[bright nimbus]

just yank it like you're jorking it

[mighty tide]

no

i wasnt even pulling

i pulled the first one

then it just redid the animation of the rubble falling from the sky

[bright nimbus]

[mighty tide]

it kept doing it even after the guardian was dead and the quest completed

i did a total of like 12k dmg

repeatedly staggering the boss

it was wild

[tame kestrel]

I saw that happen and I thought someone was hacking

[bright nimbus]

💀

I wish that happened to me on my gore runs

also these artian hunting horn songs blow ass

[tame kestrel]

people speed running carting during gore

[bright nimbus]

I can't even pick the set of songs, i get stuck with a set I don't like or use if I want an actual element on it

[boreal crane]

save your sanity and just rest and get your own gore investigations and solo them if you specifically need gore

[tame kestrel]

why rest?

I don't need gore it's just the bonus rewards for artians

I'm almost hr 100 tho

[boreal crane]

then i just stick to arkveld

easier

i'm also almost hr100, starting to run out of things i wanna do

guess it's almost time to take a break till either title update or expansion

[pseudo comet]

why is gore so much harder than arkveld

[boreal crane]

cuz they know who the real G is

[bright nimbus]

I can just have a raw cuck horn with the set of songs I want but raw is dog ass currently yeah?

[pseudo comet]

i think element is just overtuned

[faint light]

cause gore is more agressive and tackles you from nowhere

[tame kestrel]

what weapons are good with raw again was it bow

[faint light]

some of his moves have no telepgrah or osmething

[bright nimbus]

tempered gore has one shots if youre not ready

or like 99% shots

[pseudo comet]

weaps that run status

[faint light]

arkveld's moves are easy to dodge imo

[boreal crane]

yeah his breath attack is a 99%er for me

arkveld's got nothing on that

[cinder creek]

and easy to parry

[bright nimbus]

yeah arkveld is a cakewalk in comparison

[cinder creek]

gore is so fucking fast

[tame kestrel]

gore also moves faster

[mighty tide]

not only that, just him moving can knock you over

[tame kestrel]

[cinder creek]

and his wings cover the entire screen on certain areas

[bright nimbus]

[boreal crane]

also the arena's you always fight gore in are much worse

[mighty tide]

and he does a LOT of charges

YEAH

[boreal crane]

fucking shitty ass bridge in that snow area

[mighty tide]

THE FUCKING ICE ARENA

[boreal crane]

why's he always gotta be there

[bright nimbus]

OK its not just me

[tame kestrel]

[mighty tide]

THE ICE BRIDGE AND THE TINY ROOM WITH A PILLAR IN THE MIDDLE

[bright nimbus]

He LOVES the bridge

[pseudo comet]

i tried blocking the vertical gore puddle breath without guard up

[mighty tide]

LIKE THAT SHIT WOULD STOP HIS FUCKING 1 SHOT BREATH

[pseudo comet]

got stunlocked into his b3ellyflop and 1 shot

[boreal crane]

telling you that gore guy is a bitch

fucking cheating asshole

[tame kestrel]

tbf the bridge does have the pullable flying rock

does 3k damage

[mighty tide]

didn't spawn for 2 of my runs

[cinder creek]

I love it when gore magala goes to the smallest area in the map so your camera fucks you in the ass

[mighty tide]

gore knocks you into a corner into his horizontal breath explosion

[boreal crane]

and it also has annoying ass verticality issues

where you're just jumping up or down on stuff

[mighty tide]

bro speaking of verticality issues

[boreal crane]

while this guy is rampaging around and fucking things up

[mighty tide]

I had to farm Guardian Anjanath and I fucking remembered why I gave up with hammer

[bright nimbus]

CLASSIC

[mighty tide]

that fucking boss's head

whiplashed so much

[boreal crane]

[bright nimbus]

bro imagine whe you get a gold crown anjanath

[mighty tide]

I had to be kissing his nuts to hit his head

WHILE ON THE FLOOR

[boreal crane]

i had issues getting my 1 buff with insect glaive on him too

[bright nimbus]

I couldn't even hit it with hunting horn

[pseudo comet]

can the game not auto lock on

[mighty tide]

LIKE HE WAS KO'D ON THE GROUND

[pseudo comet]

when i run into a monster

[bright nimbus]

[mighty tide]

AND I WAS MISSING HIS HEAD

[boreal crane]

also jin dahaad is so annoying as insect glaive

[mighty tide]

CUZ HE WAS WHIPPING IT BACK AND FORTH SO MUCH

[boreal crane]

gotta sprint 30 minutes to get to his head to be able to get the 1 extract

[faint light]

bro i got the IG tech on controllers

[boreal crane]

you gotta share

i'm using my left thumb to control the right stick bro

[faint light]

just have a controller with back buttons and bind R2 to one of them

[boreal crane]

i'm standing still

[faint light]

I can move while aiming with kinsect

[cinder creek]

i also think Gravios is also annoying to fight

[boreal crane]

how does that rly fix it, my issue is i have to be holding triangle

and i use my thumb to press that

[bright nimbus]

bro you should seen the gold crown-sized deviljho in world

[boreal crane]

so i should put triangle on the back button

[faint light]

same idea, bind the other back button to triangle

[pseudo comet]

i want to talk to whover at capcom decided that swapping to special ammo on bowguns is r + f

for keyboard

[mighty tide]

idk nor do I care cuz this Anjanath was fucking annoying as a hammer bro

[mighty tide]

couldn't reach his head so I smacked his legs but he constantly charges and knocks you over

[pseudo comet]

manifesting kirin for next update

bad hitzone

[mighty tide]

But I'm not a Yakuza

[bright nimbus]

I'm saying it's the same shit lmao

It's fucking miserable

we stuck here doing pedicures for the monster

[mighty tide]

We have Kirin at home :

[boreal crane]

well, why aren't you

[mighty tide]

(If you have the DLC, the Hero's Top Knot might be a better hair)

[pseudo comet]

when the optimal gameplay for sns is spamming left click cos corruption mantle exists

[mighty tide]

why do you think Atriax likes it

[bright nimbus]

I should try corrupt mantle hh

[mighty tide]

[bright nimbus]

[pseudo comet]

id rather have the fucking shoryuken spam

[mighty tide]

if you do, find room for SOME form of Antivirus jewel

[bright nimbus]

my loadout is scuffed

[mighty tide]

or forgo the corrupted mantle

and go 2 piece Gore

[boreal crane]

i'm just too in love with dual blades perfect dodge

[mighty tide]

the set infects you with frenzy when you engage with a large monster

[pseudo comet]

5 gore

[boreal crane]

it's so satisfying

[pseudo comet]

only gore

[bright nimbus]

oh man I'm scared of doing more tempered gore runs

[mighty tide]

I'm running 2 pc Anjanath and 2pc Arkveld

[bright nimbus]

I'll stick with normal ones because I'm a pussy

[boreal crane]

just do em solo if it's specifically for gore cuz of crafting or wahtever

[bright nimbus]

and I want successful investigations

[mighty tide]

wanna do a couple runs?

[pseudo comet]

i got an ok artian weapon roll and im just farmingg normal ones for decos now

[mighty tide]

Hammer and a Horn

[bright nimbus]

in 3 days when off work again

[mighty tide]

3 days

[bright nimbus]

I'm running like

3 piece Jin b, 1 Jin a, and a arkvield

for the inspiration set buff

[mighty tide]

we miss you in DoS2 btw Cali

[bright nimbus]

I'm working every weekend for like a month

[mighty tide]

I've mostly gravitated to the B set unless the A has some extra passive edge over the B

cuz jewel sockets are so good

[high glade]

This is even worse and less interactive

Than saed spam

Kinda crazy

Doing the loop into aed into saed is worse than straight up loop

[bright nimbus]

i picked the a set mostly because of agitator and the 3 set inspiration gives me some attack (might not even work like everything else currently ) when I give buffs from songs too

[tulip tendon]

Did they release coomer mods yet on the modding website?

[bright nimbus]

check the 2nd most downloaded mod on the sitr

I can't link it for reasons that will be very obvious once you see what it is

[tulip tendon]

[wise patrol]

light

they made a mod for you favorite kpop girl

winter or whatever her name is

[latent elm]

I stopped for the day

People keep hard inting tempered gore

[tame kestrel]

it's weekend now

bad time to play with randoms

[gilded wagon]

switch axe bcuz element is not working with the phial somehow

and gunlance

[tame kestrel]

[lapis maple]

[bright nimbus]

[gilded wagon]

[stoic roost]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wYEscM3AJog

👌

[latent elm]

its giga ass

people are turbo inting tempered gore

[gilded wagon]

appearently another quest that is not for flower farm
nu udra can trigger fire festival

you only do accept > return from quest and farm those festival shares for artisan mat

[sly phoenix]

gaming the system instead of hunting

[tame kestrel]

[latent elm]

is there a master list of decos yt

[gilded wagon]

why ppl start saying that element might be worse than raw for some weapon

due to bug again

[latent elm]

because all the fucking ele shit is bugged

idk what is real or not

but i heard only HBG ele works

[gilded wagon]

cb element phial is legit

bowgun is legit

switch axe is bugged

some also say dual blade also bugged

[sly phoenix]

it's not bugged

crit ele is just shit

now flayer on the other hand has to be bugged cause no one knows wtf is going on with it

[random zealot]

its not the first time where element is bad in basegame and then good in the ultimate version

[dusk onyx]

why I cant make my Arkeveld cape black?

[gilded wagon]

my dahaad body also

fucking dei

[finite zephyr]

Elemental isn't bugged

NONE of the apexes have elemental hitzones worth a shit

So the entire endgame grind elemental is dog

Arkveld only ele hitzone is chains and only when charged and only for dragon

None of it is bugged

On monsters with actual ele hitzones ele is way stronger

[latent elm]

wack

is it the same with gore

tenderizer being a size 3 should be illegal

https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterwilds/mods/381

[bright nimbus]

[faint light]

it works. its just shit for flayer 5 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iE68Ev7Up44

[stoic roost]

25min

[sly phoenix]

the data's literally random

you can't say it works as intended

everyone testing it keeps getting different results on proc rates

[faint light]

isnt everyone getting the same result that flayer 2 proc rate is the best

[latent elm]

yeah its bugged for sur

unless that is somehow intentional design

which woudl be retarded

[sly phoenix]

no his was flayer 4 or something best proc and the wounds triggered more on 3

the data makes no sense

wait no flayer 2 proc rate is .01 higher than 4

this shit is so retarded

[faint light]

[sly phoenix]

it's actually random

[latent elm]

2nd crash

but this time CTD no like crash reporter

maybe we just give up and run the gore + mantle shit

if flayer is fucked

[sly phoenix]

gore + mantle is better anyway

gark set is the comfort set

[latent elm]

it is very cozy

i think if flayer actually worked it would be good on gun

since you can easy access all body parts

ok

corrupted mantle is op

but not for the reason you think

it fucking makes almost all triangle attacks do double hits

https://youtu.be/CcTuuvaPb8E

but for some reason its like only triangle hits

it doesnt work with circle hits or projectils

[sly phoenix]

ye i've been using it to speed farm arkveld

[cinder creek]

these npcs only offering me meals when i already ate

[latent elm]

eat again

[sly phoenix]

when the npc offers you a meal and it's storming so they hide in their house

[gilded wagon]

[mighty tide]

i'd rather them tell me WHAT THE FUCK THE FOOD DOES

They drug me and don't bother to tell me what it was

[vapid violet]

Almost perfect weapons deco invest

[mighty tide]

Should've just gone pollen gathering

[vapid violet]

Oh I did

[mighty tide]

I'm still sorta salty with mine

I made 90 artian pieces

[vapid violet]

I just look up invest when looking for nata trading

[mighty tide]

and only THREE blast discs for my hammer

that's like 20-ish investigations assuming no turf war

[vapid violet]

[mighty tide]

like I get the grind is a thing but my god would it kill them to increase the rates a bit more

considering Artian's reveals are all gambles

decos having a min of 2 on investigations should be the norm for relics as well

[vapid violet]

By gambles, you mean predetermined

[mighty tide]

2 per roll

its still a gamble when you craft em

[vapid violet]

Not really, everything is already set on a table

[mighty tide]

and you're gambling for the right setup

So how to make it predetermined or find out

[vapid violet]

I know exactly what my next 100x roll will be

by savescumming

so you know which one to put the correct setup for the desired rolls

[mighty tide]

wait so like

if I do Blast/Attack - Blast/Aff - Blast/Attack

then I see the roll

if I change to B/Aff - B/Att - B/Att it changes?

[vapid violet]

Each weapons at creation have predetermined roll because it's classic MH bs table, so you can craft for ex: 10 hammer with random mats then upgrade them one by one at max and look which one has the stats you want, then remember which number it was then go back to main menu w/o saving

[mighty tide]

oh

okay if its that kind of predetermined I understand

I thought its fixed on creation method

so if you swap the parts around, it changes rolls

[vapid violet]

Yeah, you can sac unwanted element and then use the one you want on the good roll

just make sure to not save when you find out which one is the good one

[mighty tide]

does it work for different weapons

[vapid violet]

Nop, each weapons have their own tables

[mighty tide]

ah

[vapid violet]

I tried

[mighty tide]

tried crafting 20 longswords?

[vapid violet]

I crafted 10 CB, got the roll I wanted for my LS but each LS were different roll

because each weapon category have their own tables

I can stream it if you want a example

[mighty tide]

wait just to make things clear for me,
If I craft 10 Swords, then I upgrade and reveal the first one, its fixed with like 2 attack 3 element.
But if I reload, then reveal the 10th sword I crafted, it will have the same rolls?

nah I get what you mean

I'm bad at explaining my mind but I'm wondering when does it determine the rolls

[vapid violet]

If you craft 10 swords and upgrade them one by one at max lvl and only the 7th have the roll you want, then you exit the game (main menu) WITHOUT saving then craft 6 useless weapon and the 7th will be the one with the correct attribute

[mighty tide]

okay

you just need to craft em

you don't need to reveal?

[vapid violet]

Once you know which number is the attribute you want nop

just crafting

[mighty tide]

oki

cuz one possibility I thought of was that you have like a table, 1 through 10, and each time you reveal, it takes one off the table

[vapid violet]

This method also help you decide how many ATK / Affinity you gonna want to add during the creation

[mighty tide]

but its each time you CRAFT

[vapid violet]

since you will know the 5 rolls

[mighty tide]

How much affinity you think is good

[vapid violet]

I am a LS so I always aim for 100%

My element weap have 20%

my status 15%

[sly phoenix]

if you're running max might and weakness exploit you don't need much

need the attack a lot more

[vapid violet]

You do

I have all the perk needed

I don't run Agi

[mighty tide]

ye that's what I'm running

atm my crafted has like 20% affinity, 65% total with agitator and maximum might

dunno if people have an ideal amount

or "just go for 100%"

[sly phoenix]

realistically just keep around 80% and go for a lot of attack and probably one sharpness roll

unless you want 100%

[vapid violet]

I don't think Hammer needs the 100%

It's a LS specific bs

[mighty tide]

yeah, multi hit would love 100% crit

but hammer bonk goes hard

I saw a 1700 wound crit on a mount

[sly phoenix]

ye attack goes hard

[vapid violet]

It also depends on which build you going for

Not everythings needs 100%

[mighty tide]

I tried running Burst but it was meh

now trying the crit setup

[sly phoenix]

lvl 1 burst is optimal

it's the best value for burst

[vapid violet]

Yeah slow weap should stay at lvl 1 burst

[mighty tide]

I went full Burst

[vapid violet]

going further you griefing yourself with slow weap

[mighty tide]

I mean I was easily getting 5 hits in

[sly phoenix]

ye even with fast weapons have better options usually

counterattack and adrenaline rush on ls

[vapid violet]

Tbh most of the setup will change when first TU will drop

I highly doubt Mizutsu will have shit gear

[sly phoenix]

hopefully they also fix most of the skill bugs then

[mighty tide]

"Fixed Longsword being able to infinitely loop their attacks"

[sly phoenix]

nah sns also has an infinite loop

[vapid violet]

Well it wasn't a bug but a new playstyle

[sly phoenix]

ye they intentionally changed the playstyle

by buffing it and nerfing helmbreaker iss

perfect rush isn't even optimal for sns anymore

[gilded wagon]

mf stuck only on my screen

[mighty tide]

farming Jin Dahaad

[sly phoenix]

[mighty tide]

@bright nimbus

[latent elm]

Just save yourself the reset headache

https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterwilds/mods/196?tab=posts

[tame kestrel]

[sly phoenix]

if you're going to save scum it anyway might as well

[gilded wagon]

@finite zephyr which ig you using

fuck this SA

[bright nimbus]

I bet even with this editor my hh selection would still be pure dogshit

[mighty tide]

Anyone on controller can tell me how you fire a slinger while your weapon is drawn

[bright nimbus]

idk if you can

[mighty tide]

its possible on MKB cuz you can rebind

but idk if controller has options to rebind

[cinder creek]

L3

with weapon drawn

[bright nimbus]

good to know

I never looked at my keybinds when I had my weapon drawn

[mighty tide]

its useful vs Rey Dau or any flying monster

they fly up for an attack

immediately flash pod to knock em down

[cinder creek]

yeah i saw a GS Arkveld Speed run where he flashes the ground with weapon drawn and i had to find out how

[gilded wagon]

[tulip tendon]

LOG IN!!!!

[gilded wagon]

now i share same suffered from 0 paralysis rusted one

[lapis maple]

whats the best monsters to farm jewels?

for SOS

[gilded wagon]

any that you can join

[tame kestrel]

arkveld gets posted a lot

[lapis maple]

[gilded wagon]

duo investigate give a lot

[tame kestrel]

yah just go for duo ones

[gilded wagon]

but the problem is you cant join in time

[tame kestrel]

I have one saved that has 21 jewels I think

[lapis maple]

can i sort out those

or no

[tame kestrel]

you can't you just keep refreshing

[bright nimbus]

just back out and search sos again

and be fast

cuz that shit fills up instantly

[tame kestrel]

I hate that some of them are bugged

and they keep reappearing

[lapis maple]

this seems boggies

[bright nimbus]

[gilded wagon]

done my first drip set

[lapis maple]

looking great

[gilded wagon]

shame on dev that not allow us to dye the cape
fucking dei is the one for this

[cinder creek]

yeah its criminal we dont have layered weapons that looks fkin sick

too bad we have to use those toy RUS artisan weapons

[finite zephyr]

lala barina

insane amounts of white sharpness

good raw

high para

[gilded wagon]

how tf you upgrade the insect

[finite zephyr]

upgrade kinsect

at gemma

[boreal crane]

fiddlebrix is my favourite kinsect

the 3 extract harvest is just so nice

[finite zephyr]

time to try out some db's

[gilded wagon]

i did that but somehow it can upgrade like 2 times

i dont understand this shit

[finite zephyr]

alright

doing 4 pc gore for db

[boreal crane]

i do 2 gore, 2 odo, jin grieves

so i can get burst 5, agitator 5, antivirus 3 and then still some goodies like evasion window 2 and constitution 2 for qol

[tulip tendon]

I’d like to join one of you guys on a hunt pls

I promise I wont die and will perform to the best of my ability

I am a master swordsman, one with the blade

The lone samurai

Wandering forever

[wise patrol]

[finite zephyr]

i want to call you a slut

slur*

a slut too i guess since you jerkoff to 50 women a day

anyone want to run some tempered arkvelds?

[mighty tide]

maybe in like a few hours

[finite zephyr]

i wont be awake

maybe tomorrow i have quite a few

can't get double blast blades

so just running poison artian db

shit is fun though

lance/DB probably my favorite weapons so far

[boreal crane]

wtf are you me

i'm db/lance and then ig on the side

the db dodge is just so addicting man

so satisfying to get

[finite zephyr]

yeah and demon dance being a 3 part combo

https://www.reddit.com/r/MHWilds/comments/1j6ob52/hi_im_the_english_va_for_gemma_and_i_would_love/

[boreal crane]

yeah it's even faster out of demon mode too which is nice

but the dodge is just way too fun for me to ditch this weapon

[finite zephyr]

now if only the endgame grind had actual elemental weaknesses

[boreal crane]

just way too satisfying

[finite zephyr]

only downside right now

[mighty tide]

@finite zephyr how many more hunts you gonna do

might as well run em now

[finite zephyr]

i just got off for the night

[mighty tide]

aight see you tomorrow

[finite zephyr]

i'll post again tomorrow i got some yardwork i gotta finish from today

[faint light]

its why i was grinding the apexes/gore instead of arkveld

[boreal crane]

yeah idk i'm kinda bored of farming arkveld

[faint light]

im not doing damage to ark

[boreal crane]

but it's just effective which sucks

[finite zephyr]

arkveld is just a boring fight to be honest

i don't like his moves

the big chains are super obnoxious

just has huge aoe on everything i just use lance when i'm farming him solo

so i can chill

[mighty tide]

not to mention how he does em back to back

[finite zephyr]

also a lot of his moves have middle chains land first

then outside ones

so you actually need to dodge into the middle more

[boreal crane]

tbf it's a big opening to get dmg in so i don't mind too much

i just hate the move where he like jumps and does a backwards flip

and then the chain

cuz he's fucking outta there and yougotta chase

[mighty tide]

assuming you're not the target

[finite zephyr]

i had one hunt with lance

where he grabbed me 11 times

mfer was literally just spamming grabs like zangief

[boreal crane]

the classic

[mighty tide]

that I know but I don't trust my dodging for the iframes

also the hitbox i swear is impossible to properly dodge without iframes on roll

[finite zephyr]

i would say ray dau is the closest we have to nargacuga in terms of god tier hitboxezs

[boreal crane]

rey dau is the coolest monster in the game tbh

[finite zephyr]

his shit is pinpoint precise

[boreal crane]

his laser is by far the sickest move

[finite zephyr]

i love blocking that shit

[mighty tide]

Rey Dau is a well designed boss

also

[boreal crane]

and still feels by far like the strongest looking move too

[mighty tide]

his boss music is so good

[boreal crane]

just the way it sounds and feels

[finite zephyr]

also his roar being like a fucking mystical space whale

[boreal crane]

i honestly kinda wish he was the flagship

[mighty tide]

Man was delegated first map boss

[boreal crane]

he's even accompanied by a cool ass thunderstorm like damn

[finite zephyr]

yeah his story arc is to get his ass whooped twice

[boreal crane]

he's the literal eye of the storm

[mighty tide]

Then we got shit tier like Gore Magala in the ass arena

[boreal crane]

and then he's just a scrub

worst part is he's the only one

[finite zephyr]

I think it's supposed to be a call back to his original fights

[mighty tide]

And Jin Dahaad the walking cinematic fight

[finite zephyr]

which were in arenas

[mighty tide]

brother

[finite zephyr]

but the original fight arenas were really big

[boreal crane]

you didn't even kill jin dahaad ice apex on your lr run

[mighty tide]

was his old arena 2 feet big

[finite zephyr]

no

[boreal crane]

and neither octopus nor fat guy got owned in cutscenes lik that

[finite zephyr]

and they had permanent pillars

to block

bruh the fat fish

why

just bring back namielle

the fish does nothing but flop

it's fucking magikarp

[boreal crane]

tbf that belly flop hitbox is rly fast lmao

i cannot iframe that moe

move

it comes out so much earlier than i expect it to

[lapis maple]

are you doing a counter

?

[steep grotto]

I going to play long sword

[boreal crane]

no that's the dual blades dodge

[steep grotto]

wanna do some cool good shit

[lapis maple]

ah I see

[steep grotto]

[lapis maple]

seems like a counter

[boreal crane]

when you are in demon mode and you get the dash instead of the roll, and you perfect dodge a move you get that attacking dodge instead

[lapis maple]

thats bog

i shoud db as well

[boreal crane]

and then you get a buff for dmg and to keep the attacking dodge for like 20 seconds

[lapis maple]

[mighty tide]

I would love db but I got lost when attacking

[boreal crane]

it's rly satisfying cuz it makes you feel liek you rly understand the monster's moveset

[mighty tide]

like i couldnt tell which part of my combo I was at

[steep grotto]

is demon mode kinda like the guy from granble fantasy relink?>

lancelot

[boreal crane]

and it has that nice PIIIIING sound effect when you do perfect dodge

unlike perfect guard where a lot of the times i didn't even realize it was one

[lapis maple]

time for some arkveld hunts

[boreal crane]

kinda yeah

i'm still rly not used to not actually wanting to be in demon mode when you're gauge is filled cuz blade dance 3 is fastest in non demon mode form

so i oftne still go back into demon mode attack and then think "wait what am i doing, i shouldn't be in demon mode" and exit it

[lapis maple]

man

is crit jewel like

extremely rare

never gotten a level 2 or 3 yet

[boreal crane]

crit as in expert?

[lapis maple]

no

the other one

[boreal crane]

so crit boost

[lapis maple]

crit damage

[boreal crane]

i think i have a lot less expert decos than crit boost ones

but yeah both are on the rarer side

i also only have a single atk boost 3 too

[lapis maple]

[sly phoenix]

i think i only have one crit boost 3

[unkempt grove]

@sly phoenix has leveled up! (70 ➜ 71)

[finite zephyr]

I have 2 atk 2 decos

No atk 3

[lapis maple]

yo

ya'll mentioned that crit element does not work right

[finite zephyr]

It works correctly

Just that endgame monsters have atrocious ele hitzones

And our element values are very small

[lapis maple]

okay

thanks

got my first crit boost 2

[finite zephyr]

[latent elm]

wtf

this sns is pumping

temp ark+temp rath

its weird how theres not as big an ICD on util

they flashed ark like 4 times and used triple tempo traps

corrupted + ore HBG is kinda nuts since its a 6mag pierce2

you can basically 0 to 100 wyvern gauge in one mag

[exotic oar]

Can anyone let me know if you find any crown please

[lapis maple]

1st

[latent elm]

when would you ever slot that

versus a weapon specific charm

[sly phoenix]

never

[latent elm]

Horn strat

[bright nimbus]

duh

extend melody is goated

and the fact they added a fucking song that repairs your weapon

[gilded wagon]

cloud looks better

[sly phoenix]

30 whoppers wtf

[bright nimbus]

bro I haven't even gotten the one yet

[latent elm]

theres a specific spot in forest to fish for them

[bright nimbus]

stupid ass spawn conditions haven't gotten shit

[latent elm]

you just need to catch tuna

[bright nimbus]

yeah up in the big bitch lake

[latent elm]

that being said i cba

[bright nimbus]

I haven't gotten shit

stood there like an idiot for 40 minutes and tried every daytime and fauna type combination

[mighty tide]

where are you fishing

[bright nimbus]

the giant fuck huge lake at the top of the forest

[boreal crane]

bro those fishing quests were ass

so were the small critter or insect gathering quests

[bright nimbus]

I tried catching a fish with the capture net but it didn't count

[mighty tide]

there should be a whopper there usually, i went there once and caught it

[bright nimbus]

[boreal crane]

naah it's still rare, can require a bunch of resets

[mighty tide]

really?

[bright nimbus]

I was pissed because I caught the sandstar on accident

[boreal crane]

i've gone across the whole line of zone 17 or whatever it was multiple times without anything

[bright nimbus]

and then then I got the quest and I had to reset for like an hour

[mighty tide]

lemme try

[bright nimbus]

[mighty tide]

we can all link up and go fishing together

[bright nimbus]

fucking rng bullshit

[boreal crane]

[mighty tide]

im legit just farming the chicken atm from the event

[bright nimbus]

also I didn't know I could have used the sonic pods to stun it

[mighty tide]

i need seed oils

[sly phoenix]

ye just keep resetting for tuna

[bright nimbus]

I rawdogged the capture

[sly phoenix]

how long did that take

[bright nimbus]

like 2 minutes

[sly phoenix]

were you chasing it around the entire time

[boreal crane]

the capture itself isn't that hard

but finding that little shit is annoying

[bright nimbus]

theres like a almost Goldilocks zone where you have the ghilie suit on and it won't run at your max capture net range but if you anticipate where it'll run you can get it

[mighty tide]

ez

i got a whopper

@bright nimbus look for this

[boreal crane]

go for 30 for the achievement

[sly phoenix]

[bright nimbus]

I did

I fished in it until it actually despawned

didnt get jack fucking shit

[sly phoenix]

you can see if there are fish in there or not

[mighty tide]

you on controller ye?

[bright nimbus]

yes

[mighty tide]

you jerking the line or slowly reeling

[bright nimbus]

both

[mighty tide]

do slow

[bright nimbus]

I did literally every combination of bullshit

I'm not new to fishing minigames

[boreal crane]

to get it to bite i did circles for the whopper

slow circles

that worked pretty well

[bright nimbus]

I tried circles up down left right

[sly phoenix]

do fallow and fish speartuna

[bright nimbus]

jerk slowly jerking like I was yorking my meat

[sly phoenix]

they're a lot easier to get bites for

[mighty tide]

whopper spotted

[sly phoenix]

there are also usually multiple of them when they spawn

[bright nimbus]

just bad rng idk

[sly phoenix]

i never got the gastronome tunas

those assholes never bite

[bright nimbus]

I tried plenty/fallow/intermediate morning/day/evenin/night

[sly phoenix]

ye spam fallow and speartuna will spawn

[bright nimbus]

Then I got mad and quit

[sly phoenix]

you'll know cause birds will fly around them

[boreal crane]

you'll get it eventually

at least it's the last one

imagine if there was another fishing quest after that

wait a minute

[sly phoenix]

also there's no rewards for finishing all the optional quests

i don't get a rainbow name

[boreal crane]

yeah i felt like a clown when i finished the fishing quest and i basically didn't get shit

[sly phoenix]

ye i did all the side quests and optional hunts

[thorny pollen]

whats good weapon to start if im new to mh

[sly phoenix]

i assume they're adding more so that you can get your rainbow name

[boreal crane]

honestly still playstyle related

[sly phoenix]

hammer or longsword

[boreal crane]

there's a bunch of rly beginner friendly weapons

[thorny pollen]

weebsword it is

[bright nimbus]

the best one is the one that feels good to you

[mighty tide]

SnS is forgiving.
Hammer is simple.
Longsword only if you don't care for counters and just want dmg

[bright nimbus]

Honestly

[hexed lagoon]

Is fishing any use or can I safely ignore

[boreal crane]

i feel like a bunch of weapons are rly beginner friendly now

[bright nimbus]

I thought I was gonna like charge Blade but I tried everything and ended up giving with GS or HH

[sly phoenix]

hammer better feeling and for learning monsters since they're good for observational hunts

[boreal crane]

obviously there's the bowguns, they're pretty easy to learn and use, dual blades are good too, sns, even lance etc

[bright nimbus]

GS tackle and clash gives me chills

[sly phoenix]

sns doesn't have good impact for new players

[boreal crane]

yeah i think it's boring as fuck but it's definitely a good beginner weapon

[thorny pollen]

yeah saw baldy play it feels boring

[bright nimbus]

when I inevitably quit and restart I'll pick up gs

[sly phoenix]

ye sns is an intricate weapon when speedrunning but it's very simple

[bright nimbus]

lance actually puts me to sleep

[boreal crane]

i like to stab monsters

[bright nimbus]

both lance and gl

[hexed lagoon]

I like hammer so far I'm sure I play it wrong but at least I can spam button when panicking

[latent elm]

intricate when speedrunning

[sly phoenix]

ye hammer's good for new players cause it feels good to smash the monsters' head in over and over

[latent elm]

same combo skill

[bright nimbus]

says the bowgun player

[hexed lagoon]

By the way what's the button to use pods? Feels like I accidentally use them while on focus mode

[latent elm]

i never claimed hbg was intricate

[thorny pollen]

ok so hammer longsword greatsword

[latent elm]

i play it because its not

[thorny pollen]

which ones the most fun

[sly phoenix]

ye same combo but perfect guards and movement positoning are hard

[latent elm]

[boreal crane]

L3 while weapon is drawn

[bright nimbus]

my bias is greatsword if you like big numbers and hard hits

longsword for the cool animations and style factor

[hexed lagoon]

Ok I might press movement key too hard ig

[mighty tide]

[latent elm]

just play gunlance

bro caught cthulu

[latent elm]

[bright nimbus]

and hammer is like, idk lizard-brain satisfaction of bonking the monster and knocking it unconscious

[mighty tide]

hammer has real simple combos

you bonk into charge into more bonks

[bright nimbus]

so whichever of those statements appeals to you

[sly phoenix]

ye neurons fire off whenever you smack heads with hammer

[bright nimbus]

That's me

I like bonking

[mighty tide]

Also

I think you start with every basic weapon

[bright nimbus]

[thorny pollen]

yea ill stick with longsword then

[sly phoenix]

and you can move while charging which makes up for bad player positioning

[mighty tide]

you will get access to a training area later, and you can just swap to em

and try the combos

feel which are more intuitive

[bright nimbus]

yeah try them out in the training area too

[thorny pollen]

will do

[bright nimbus]

let us know what you end up liking

[latent elm]

if you are like

somehow unable to play longsword

but still want to

someone already ported the auto counter to wilds

[mighty tide]

the fuck

[boreal crane]

i would actually call longsword pretty new player unfriendly in world and rise

[mighty tide]

auto counter

[boreal crane]

cuz it heavily relied on counters and parries

but in this game that new spirit mode is rly buff anyway

[latent elm]

the mod literally iai slashes for you

[mighty tide]

Longsword in Wilds relies on counters for best uptime

[latent elm]

idk how they coded it

[mighty tide]

but its servicable in an ape's hand

you can still do decent work and clear shit (currently)

[latent elm]

but apparently it can actually do those for you

[boreal crane]

so yeah it's still pretyt good for new players

insect glaive is actually pretty new player unfriendly lmao

they have like no good way to escape danger and their offset is pretty hard

[latent elm]

melees are what you want if you wanna go monke mod

and get the endorphins pumping

[thorny pollen]

wats that

Is that a macro

[latent elm]

HBG is for retirees that want stable clears

[boreal crane]

no i think he's just referring to just melee weapons

[latent elm]

https://www.nexusmods.com/monsterhunterwilds/mods/287

a monkey could play ls with this mod

a literal simian

[thorny pollen]

[boreal crane]

also can't ranged actually sit on their mounts and shoot

[thorny pollen]

Ill go vanilla first

[latent elm]

yeah but you cant ignition mode on HBG while mounted

[boreal crane]

could just stay on the mount, run circles around the boss and shot it

[latent elm]

ignition is pretty big damage

idk if you can rapid fire while mounted on LBG

[boreal crane]

hey it's still probably pretty decent

or it sounds pretty decent still at least

[latent elm]

yeah thats unironically the only viable way to play spread

because they massacred it

[boreal crane]

damn so the optimal way to play spread is deadass just to sit on your mount and shoot it while you're just doign whatever running around huh

[latent elm]

pierce is just like no contest the winner of non ele ammo type

normal makes you shoot 3 times per 1 shot meaning the rof is low

pierce has 0 recoil, highest rof, and ticks like 6+ times if you aim well

[boreal crane]

i'm pretty unhappy about a lot of weapon chagnes tbh

[latent elm]

they need to change or fix corrupted mantle first

[boreal crane]

luckily i'm also happy about lance and db changes and even ig changes so that makes up for it

[latent elm]

once triangle spam is no longer meta you can see what actually needs fixing

[high glade]

the only weapons i like change wise are hammer and hh

[latent elm]

im really pissed about HBG spread

HBG is still strong

[high glade]

rest are straight up dumber or worse

[latent elm]

but you basically have no options on how to play it

because everything other than pierce is shit

[boreal crane]

i think insect glaive is a lot more fun

[cinder creek]

damn no one likes the GS changes except me

[boreal crane]

bu t i was never rly a fan of the weapon anyway

[latent elm]

sure spread was strong bfore but you can still play pierce and ele in worlds

and evens ticky

i dont think ive seen anyone play sticky

so idk if its gutted or something

[boreal crane]

oh right i have not actually seen sticky

is it even in the game lmao

[latent elm]

it is

unless i remember wrong

[bright nimbus]

what'd they change about gs

[cinder creek]

The rising offset attack and lvl 2 wide slash dealing more damage

so you dont have to be greedy for tcs damage anymore

[gilded wagon]

tcs dmg is too low

imo

ppl get used to old gs too much

tackle tackle tcs

[high glade]

optimus prime reporting for duty

[sour wigeon]

yo anyone tried this out does itt prevents you from crashing

bro...

i crashed on Thursday after beating the first mob

now the game is doing the shader thing like i first booted the game

[mighty tide]

@bright nimbus https://youtu.be/N329FFvmVkE?t=1046

[cinder creek]

ya lvl 1 lvl 2 wide slash is faster and safer

[mighty tide]

roleplay as a true support

war cry for extra damage for teammates

save yourself demon powder

[random zealot]

apparently wilds high rank rathian has less hp than world and rise low rank rathian

and less than half compared to world and rise high rank rathian hp

[gilded wagon]

not even surprised

every monster took less than half of usual time

[gilded wagon]

only used the REframework and it is nice

[random zealot]

my guess is that they listened to the wrong people again with monsters having too much health

aka the same people who thought MH has too much hitstop or pink t-rex was too hard

[latent elm]

how does player DPS compare though

i kinda like the shorter hunt timers

i know we arent MR yet but i feel like we were pushing insane numbers in worlds

[pseudo comet]

worlds kinda had hp bloat cos clutch claw

smashing their heads into a wall

[latent elm]

i dont think i have any logs saved anywhere

i think a rathalos/rathian right now is what

40k roughly?

for reference tempered ark is like ~65k

as pierce HBG but not running 4pc gore my player DPS is usually around 40-50 without accounting for zone transitions

with transitions its probably around low 40s

Also DPS usually drops off since I only get one use of corrupted mantle

Also it seems like environmental damage scales with monster HP

Dropping rocks on arkveld does way more than dropping rocks on like the white ape

i remember diabolos was really hard for DB

because you didnt have white sharp before endgame

and you were stuck hitting its legs

[gilded wagon]

blast weapon suck or what

dont see anyone talk about it

[latent elm]

blast is considered same as other ele right

arkveld basically doesnt have any good ele hitbox

[gilded wagon]

isnt blast always like element build up

but i could guess that paralysis is too op

[high glade]

blast is pretty good iirc

[mighty tide]

Blast is like

soft Paralysis when it goes off

staggers the boss but doesn't put em down for the count

man corrupted mantle is uhh

bit broken

CB must be loving it

double attack on every swing

[gilded wagon]

i think someone post about

it only go off with triangle move

CB savage axe spam O

[mighty tide]

ahh

i thought their spam was triangle

also eva

check this one out while I was farming chicken

[high glade]

nah

was disproved

[gilded wagon]

[high glade]

but yeah mantle is giga broken

for sns especially

[gilded wagon]

so how does it proc with savage axe

[high glade]

afaik the higher the motion value of an attack

the higher the proc for it

for cb ele discharge chain has giga motion value

actually im not sure if its actually higher for all attacks
