    Which would have been a fine move, had they actually released OW2 in a timely fashion after that to get the big money. Instead it was over 2years ago now, and it seems it's likely ~6months off still. That'll be close to 3years since they announced it.

    Village is like easy mode hunts compared to hub. Hub is "normal" MH difficulty, village is like story mode stuff, so it's REALLY easy. You'll notice a big difference when you switch over. I did village first too and it was dumb dumb how fast stuff died, but it also means you can progress...

    BLM is barely behind though? Like it needs a buff, but not one that'd make you see 20k xenos. 4-5% at most. The numbers are gonna be smaller, that's the whole point of the stats squish. Xeno wasn't even that big before, there were several other skills that did more damage(Tech Dance or Hyosho...

    Rampages are pretty ok in parties I thought, like there's more monsters and more shit going on. It's still super easy since you can cart as many times as you want, but at least it's somewhat fun just blasting tons of shit and ganging up on the last boss with 3 people mounting shit and spamming...

    Well the fight isn't that tough on enrage either, we even used heal LB3 to do life's agony cause after all the rez the healers were missing some shit and figured they'd just ignore it instead(no AST to do it for free), and still made the enrage, although barely, the cast was almost done when it...

    Was static, first pull of the day, last time we got to enrage like once in a full reset(RPR was new to the fight, cleared P2S first time that day but still we got consistently to tornados or so). Died once to being stupid(wasn't far enough on fountain and got clipped by other people's birds)...

    Thing about status is you rarely will get 2 procs on the same hunt with just buddies from what I've seen so far, I think even if it's dog with status attack and umbrella unless the monster is weak to that type of status, and if that's not the case, it makes no difference if it comes a bit...

    Monster Hunter Rise

    Yeah I got 2 like that too, no go fight win though(probably will look into recruiting one), 2nd one has just spinning top or whatever, and mine. Both with status and knockout, didn't take too long to find. I'd assume if you're purely going for fast clears, attack or bombardier would be better...

    I do agree especially on the part about comparing classes' DPS via FFlogs but looking only at the bars and who's above who, rather than the numbers themselves and comparing by how much exactly are they above. So many people are such fucking giant crybabies when it comes to FFlogs even when the...

    Well it matters on every fight you have to tank swap for, some you don't really have to(for example P1S) so it kinda doesn't matter, just annoying with the boss flipping around and what not. That said even if you're PLD you can pull aggro up after a provoke depending on when it happens on your...

    Oh the baseline recover move is great, I meant specifically the 2 IG ones, one is literally just a jump for some reason, I guess you can use it mid jump to extend aerial chains(you're limited to 3 bounces in the air but the silkbind lets you get more) but I don't stay in the air that long so...

    On pad you can set soft targets, you just use up and down to move the selection to the target, hit an oGCD and it'll go to that without losing your main target. With mouse, you can use janky macros, or you have to switch. With the fairly long GCD though it's not really a problem imo. Also A LOT...

    I switched twice already and probably will switch some more later on, really up to you what you play I'd say. I'm on IG atm too, love the small changes, those new Kinsects that suck up 2 buffs at the same time make it so much better(even if they're slow as fucking molasses goddamn are they...

    Maybe your co-healer isn't healing enough? There's several places in this tier where it feels until BiS you kinda want to GCD heals here and there for safety, especially Cure III/Medica II/Horoscope+Aspected Helios and SCH/SGE shields pre-emptively. For spread and people running too far that's...

    So gave HH a good spin now, did HR4 and HR5 with it, and damn it's strong. It's so much stronger than in World, and already in Iceborne they made HH pretty good. It's also so much easier to get into. Don't have to memorize songs per horns, don't have to do the little buffing dance before the...

    You mean Arzuros, the bear? There's 2 different HR quests for it, HR 4stars, Divine Comedy has Arzuros+Kulu and if you scroll to the other page, there's Blue, Round and Cute with a solo Arzuros capture quest.

    Yeah guess I didn't look it up much before starting and then I couldn't be bothered, it's not that bad, I thought I couldn't prevent windows updates in Home but apparently I can and that's really the only thing I cared about. The case is also kinda weird, the USB ports on the top are really...

    Been doing a bunch of P3S, getting most of the mechanics but still people dying to a lot of common shit, and it doesn't help the strats are all "the same but slightly different". One party has H+R and M+T but other is M+H and T+R(which is better for uptime on spreads), then you have some going...

    The issue I had with the current HP Omen thing I have is it fucks up with installing different versions of windows. I tried a few times the first day and just kinda gave up on it. Basically it has the windows install saved up in there somewhere so that if you format for whatever reason, it'll...

    Investigations were like you'd loot tracks/break parts from monsters and get limited supplies of purple quests for a monster, like say kill Nergigante quest and can redo it 3 or 5times, and you'd have 3-5boxes on them and the additional boxes would provide a chance at drops(and when tempered...

    So I guess I "finished" the story, I assume that's why they added another ending in a patch later on, cause that shit just kinda ends randomly, credits and all and it really doesn't feel like the end but then nothing more unlocks in the village. Now doing the special mission stuff to unlock the...

    Silkbinds is the name of the mechanic, it uses little insect shit with silk threads to use the moves, but they're standard moves, like L2+triangle will do one of the silkbind moves but otherwise it works the same way as before. They do somewhat behave like cooldown based skills, although they...
  24. Pyros

    Monster Hunter Rise

    Uh? No it's still the same. The silkbind moves are just specific input, everything is L2 + key, similar to how World worked with slinger/claw.

    Graphics are bit worse but doesn't really matter, there's less monsters because no expansion yet and continuous content releases haven't been as good from my understand(#1 complaint from old MH fans I've seen, might change with the expansion/dual release though). Lots of "new" monsters though...

    Seems they're reopening sales on January 25th, along with Oceania server release and world transfers(including free transfers to Oceania servers). There's a big lodestone post about their various plans, DC visit is indeed only physical DC visit for now(so NA to NA but not NA to EU) and is coming...

    It will be somewhat harder as time goes by and the better players clear, but also people get more gear(tomes and drops and in a few months the catchup mechanics with augmented crafted/24man drops/24man currency and hunt nuts for upgrade mats) so it gets easier to clear with worse players too...

    Might be unlocked later, there are a bunch of NPCs that don't seem to do shit early on, but haven't really looked into it too much so far. Interesting that you can pick which quests you do to progress the story, rather than have specific ones. You can pick gathering and small monster killing...

    It's cheaper but it's also kinda shitty before T3 I believe? But the class is just popular cause it looks cool too I think. Beta popularity isn't necessarily representative of live numbers though so wouldn't put too much weight into it regardless. Costs more money to do the animations for both...

    My internet got fixed after a couple of hours, french steam download server was being slow as fuck though, switched to germany and now getting 50mb/s so should be downloaded soon. Going switch axe for now, will probably switch to other stuff later on.

    MMORPG vs RPG?

    Rose tinted glasses to the max. EQ classes had "hundreds" of spells because a lot of them were just the same spell with higher rank/power. A lot were just boring as shit like "this is a dot, this is also a dot, but a different element, oh this is a dot too, but another element again, this dot...

    Total War: Warhammer

    I'd assume they'll do that like 1week before release or so, maybe 2 weeks? Most content creators are probably just making the videos and shit and they'll release everything at once. It doesn't make too much sense to have people show off the game a full month before it releases, for the...

    Yeah I don't have stats but I'd say most people who play female chars are actually guys, not girls. 20-30% female player base, but 60-70% female characters in these type of games(again not actual figures, but I'd assume it's somewhat close). Hell female players don't even necessarily play female...

    Probably yeah, although the fight was released with 60 cap so it is doable with only 60 spells, just makes it easier to get 70 stuff.

    One is an acronym, and the other is a command that displays an image that represents the same thing. It's really not that different.

    Loom should be fine on controller with the new settings, at least for this fight. Since you know when the meteor is being cast, just move to the edge and start targetting Loom. Make sure you increase scroll speed for the target on pad(default is 50, can make it 75 or whatever), and make sure you...

    Got in a good party and killed it, had the stereotypical loud mouth "wow I can't even, someone doesn't know numbers" idiot after we got a single wipe on numbers, then he turned out he wiped us twice with his fucking knockback debuff, including once on the very first one when fucking nothing else...

    Can definitely PF, but harder than EX, especially the current EX which are pretty braindead. Granted the first 2 floors are also pretty easy as usual. 3rd floor usually is rough until ppl get more geared and 4th tends to be quite hard to PF unless you get in early and are good or people vastly...

    Fuck P2S is so stupidly easy just need to find a party that doesn't suck at doing dmg. Was in one that was doing mechanics properly but low DPS so couldn't get the kill in time. The others are like "enrage xp" then wipe to limit cut so it's interesting. Have been doing most runs on my shitty...
