I think I have discovered that I am possessed of the sauce with the fast weapons
longsword, dual blades, and insect glaive in particular are uh
coming quite naturally in a very fun way
tardy grotto
coming quite naturally in a very fun way
What game?
lapis juniper
wilds
lapis juniper
What game?
as soon as I realized perfect dodges activated archdemon on dual blades uth duna became my bitch
cursive plover
I've always wanted to run Insect Glaive but I already struggle with the technicalities of, like... the Greatsword.
I could not be assed to micromanage bug juice
lapis juniper
lmao, very fair
I am very much good at longsword, dual blades, and insect glaive in that order
cursive plover
I've picked up longsword lately, learning the timing for counters is tricky but the greatsword's offset attacks helped me train my mind for it a bit.
lapis juniper
I don't think I'd turn out any good at gs
my only good 'heavy' is good ol HH
Which, if I may say so
I was fucking goated
cursive plover
GS is so fun
but!
my big flaw with Wilds...
is that there is no punishment on GS for just spamming offset attacks.
You can unsheathe into an offset, any move can be followed up by an offset. The only restriction is you can't offset directly out of another offset, but it's not harsh enough.
maybe this is just a me problem but it's way too easy to spam offset attacks with GS specifically and get rewarded, even against larger monsters.
Hammer's offset, for reference, requires a lil more setup to get into than GS.
lapis juniper
offset is your charge stance right?
cursive plover
it is a charge stance
off-set is just the word for "big, high-commitment slaps that stagger a monster if one of its hitboxes collides with it"
you are given i-frames if your offset hits
in theory, this is good, GS struggles with movement a bit so giving them the choice to stand their ground is a fun notion...
in practice, though, an issue comes up
Offset attacks are high-commitment, so on other weapons, you have to time shit pretty well to make the offset worth it. If you miss the timing, you'll be sitting around like a dumbass for a little bit after the whiff...
but that's just how greatsword plays already!
The only real cost of the offset attack for greatsworders is that you're not working toward your True Charge Slash in that moment...
except if the offset attack lands, you can instantly go into a TCS regardless of what you were doing beforehand!
and because there's no cost to using it, you may as well spam offsets at every opportunity, especially because sometimes it'll fully stagger the monster while setting you up for your highest-damage move.
other counters have some sort of cost. Longsword has the spirit gauge, hbg has an offset that is really compromising and can only be used up-close, Lances trade damage potential for counters and survivability...
but GS has almost seen a shift in optimal playstyle, in a way. Before, you'd interrupt charges with tackles to get to TCS a little faster. Now, it's almost like GS is... a counter-attack weapon.
From that perspective, it's actually kinda cool, now that I think about it...
You're not required to learn how to use the offsets if you prefer base greatsword plays, but there are huge rewards for those who are willing to stand their ground against a monster and just keep swinging...
I think I talked myself into liking it, actually.
lapis juniper
lmao nice

Believe it or not, that happened before wilds!

lapis juniper
Wilds LS feels
about the same barring the new tech when your spirit gauge is fully leveled?
hollow comet
🙏
hollow comet
about the same barring the new tech when your spirit gauge is fully leveled?
mhm, and the ISS being the rise version (+1 level on counter, 0 on whiff)
tardy grotto
I should get into a melee weapon
hollow comet
it also feels like spirit meter is a lot less strict ime; the full combo feels like it costs about 75% instead of 90-95% now, along with the hold for roundslash charge
Fade Slash gives about 50%? instead of maybe 30%, which is a crazy change that helps to keep up with the pace of the game and the cycle of building and dumping meter
tardy grotto
Issue being, CB is the one that appeals the most
hollow comet
ohhh, and the directional Spirit Slashes (which I greatly dislike)
I'm not the hugest fan of Wilds LS :( it feels too fluid to the point that I feel clumsy using it because I'm too used to GU and 5th gen
hollow comet
Issue being, CB is the one that appeals the most
go for it!
take it slow, use it on some easy monsters first and put your moveset together a bit at a time
you don't need to (and probably shouldn't) use every move at the start

Zoh Shia crashed my fucking game lmao
tardy grotto
Too much Wylk
elder tusk
I think the most fascinating thing about Wilds' performance for me is that I've only ever crashed on quest completion
red gazelle
🙏
I don’t get the whole performance thingy
I’ve never had any issues with performance
Game runs smooth as butter
Except when my pc overheated once during a rey dau fight but that’s an exception
elder tusk
The problem is basically that hardware that should theoretically be able to support it completely fine can't because they made very fundamental mistakes in implementation and optimization
and the diminishing returns diminish far more rapidly than with most other games
and even then, that "smooth as butter" experience is almost guaranteed to be thanks to either frame gen or upscaling, because the game can't take proper advantage of powerful hardware, and handles resources super inefficiently, and any rig that's hitting a locked 60 fps at maximum settings (or even optimized settings bc the difference isn't much more than a few frames on the high end) likely cost upwards of $2500
red gazelle
and even then, that "smooth as butter" experience is almost guaranteed to be tha...
I don’t have frame gen on my graphics card or on the game
I have 100-120ish fps on max graphics I think
elder tusk
What kind of GPU?
red gazelle
5070 ti
elder tusk
Yeah that'll fuckin do it
red gazelle
Roblox runs worse than mh wilds sometimes which I find funny
elder tusk
lmao
but yeah uhh. you're in the "really good hardware tanking terrible optimization" category
red gazelle
Ahhh
elder tusk
and if the game was "fixed" you'd probably be getting closer to double that
elder tusk
if you count having an excellent and expensive graphics card lucky
red gazelle
I just remembered that my old laptop was barely able to run mh world with like 30fps
And that one was more Optimised I think
Or is that an issue across mh titles in general
elder tusk
it is and it isn't
it's kind of hard to judge the performance of most of the games in the franchise since they were in a situation of "they're on hardware comparable to a PS2 and they run playably"
World was rough on release, but not to the same magnitude as Wilds
I think Rise was briefly rough on the Switch but not long enough to get a reputation for it, and then the PC port was actually excellent
which mainly has to do with it benefitting from smarter development in general
red gazelle
Ah
elder tusk
Wilds also has a ton of CPU optimization issues, which is an issue when most games don't and the most popular cost-saving measure for building a gaming rig is to shoot for a CPU that's just good enough to avoid bottlenecking your GPU when it's maxed out
but it's a lot harder to talk about and quantify "the math the game is forcing your computer to do on the fly every single time it draws a frame"
well. not harder to quantify. since it's math. just more complicated to make it understandable in a way people can casually talk about
but tldr they did a bunch of shit really inefficiently and it makes the game perform very badly on the hardware most people own, but fortunately people are identifying a lot of it and pointing out ways to solve it
red gazelle
Was wilds also released on consoles and thanks for explaining it all
elder tusk
Yeah
Part of the problem is that it was developed for consoles first
porting a game that was developed for consoles to PC can be more complicated for a whole number of reasons, but a lot of the mistakes they made also hurt console performance
but that's even more complicated and I'm way too tired to be confident that I'll explain it even slightly well

balmy swan
it's also designed around the assumption that you're going to have someone tanking and someone healing the way that the game is nudging you to do
fortunately the support hunters are actually pretty decent at this

P3 can be pretty rough
are you wiping to the nova, or are you just getting carted by its regular attacks?
hollow comet
regular attacks, we were meeting the dps checks
i have to dive the big slam more instead of thinking I can roll out, because it has some aoe around the body and arms
also got a bit greedy shooting the guns
balmy swan

tbh my strategy with the big slam has been mostly "don't be standing there to begin with"
it's a very positioning-aware fight

hmm, assuming you mean handheld, it was a little uncomfortable for me but not horrible, especially compared to sunbreak’s demo
I don’t think it’s too bad given that the combat isn’t too fast >.>
have you played other games in handheld mode?

I tried 4U on 3DS
and

But yes I've completed both BotW and TotK in handheld (it's a Switch light and thus my only option lol)

the original base game (...and the version of it we never got in english) was built for the 3ds, so it's perfectly fine on handheld mode on a switch

having played GenU on Switch and 4U on 3DS, GenU feels a lot easier to handle

again, would like to strongly emphasize that GenU is in no way as painful to control as the 3DS titles, and will feel pretty intuitive and comfortable to you if you're at all used to using the Switch joycons. do not let the horrors of 3U and 4U controls put you off from experiencing a quite fantastic MH game

which is not to say that Rise is not also worth playing

not really joycons as such since it's a Switch Light but I've played Zelda on it
balmy swan
yeah, i tend to think of it as a capstone celebration of the entire franchise pre-world
not to mention the style and hunter arts system means that playstyle customization is positively absurd
so it's a very meaty game
hollow comet
so it's a very meaty game
yeah GU has a lot, it's really nice to have as a side game or you can dig into it full speed (but beware of burnout!)

"yo by the way their wing dander that they ignite would function as thermobaric weapons irl"
lapis juniper
I see
It's because the first stage of a thermobaric weapon is spreading aerosolized fuel in the air with a small blast (in this case substituted by the wings) that then is more readily able to ignite the oxygen in the air
lapis juniper
leading to both a much more intense pressure wave and higher temperature, followed by a massive pressure differential (created by the atmospheric oxygen being used as the oxidator rather than an onboard one) rapidly appearing and then collapsing
This attack wouldn't even cause career-ending injuries by burning people, the pressures created can collapse lungs or burst eardrums

Bawh, I liked Omega. Savage is a bit of a jerkass though

i'm kind of split on Omega
conceptually, i think it's a really cleverly designed fight in the way that it takes the idioms of MMO combat and translates them into something that works in the framework of Monster Hunter gameplay while still being recognizable
practically, you of course run into the question of "is the playerbase actually going to bother with all of this or are they just going to flail at the fight and then get mad when they cart"
granted you do have support hunters as an option, and a thankfully good one
Uno said something recently to the effect of "i think people don't like hunts that have mechanics" and i think that he might have put his finger on something there

it's wierd that we once thought Tobi-Kodachi was hard
granted we were new to World back then but still
oh heck we should be slaying instead of capturing
well....... we found their god. She's right here, and fresh out of mercy
wanton scroll
we keep capturing monsters
apparently rare drops can come easier on slays
or at least that's what we're looking at
(for rise)
we may be wrong
candid perch
I think it depends on the monster iirc
But I've never really bothered capping and I got everything I needed
full sage
capture and carve just have individually defined tables, under normal conditions you get 3 carves and 2 rewards for capturing specifically (for a quest, you also get quest rewards)
which is better depends on the individual monster's tables and what you're looking for
(apparently world worked differently!)
elder tusk
Where Capturing in Rise is concerned, you lose out on one reward "slot" because you roll 2 quest rewards instead of taking 3 carves, but rare rewards are more likely within the drop table. However, monsters tend to have at least one drop option that is not included in the Capture table at all, meaning it can only ever be carved.
Rise also de-obfuscates all drop rates in the hunter notes, which imo is the single most powerful addition they've ever made to any game in the franchise
From what I remember, World and Wilds make the rewards completely identical. There is fundamentally no reward difference between capture rewards and carve rewards.
But (in Wilds) you can eat for a skill that boosts one or the other preferentially, and capping is still faster
Personally I prefer Rise's method, but I wish the games would both use and call direct attention to differing drop rates, so players know that they have two different tools to get what they want, rather than relying exclusively on investigations to bend the odds
It's so much more enjoyable imo to get into the rhythm of capturing monsters by the dozen to hunt for that otherwise 1% drop
lapis juniper
From what I remember, World and Wilds make the rewards completely identical. The...
apparently you cannot get rewards that require part breaks (or full severs in the case of tails or cephalopod arms) from captures in the quest rewards, whereas if you kill you can
elder tusk
oop
lapis juniper
in Wilds
So yeah no not cutting the tail and getting a tail anyway in capture
You need to cut that shit off
Or submit yourself to killing it and getting the diceroll
elder tusk
Killing also gives you more time to dismantle the monster :)
Also this is embarrassing I literally always run Partbreaker

Oh I'm not serious
