    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Stormblood's relic was the primary purpose(which now is purely cosmetic) and then all the side stuff like mounts, emotes, haircuts, pets and so on yeah. Also some kinda interesting story that's tied to the main story somewhat(centered around Krile). And overall a pretty interesting twist to the...

    2 years later... the almost sad state of MMOs in the new era

    If you're into anime style and action combat, there's Blue Protocol which looks like it might be interesting eventually, although it's still fairly early and there's no official plans for western porting just yet(it's more or less confirmed however since they were recruiting translators and...

    Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem

    I'll look at some streams but honestly nothing I've seen or heard seems encouraging about this, it looks like it's releasing a year too early. So maybe it'll be worth picking up in a year but I doubt it'll be good at release, will see though I'm not one to avoid a decent ARPG.

    Final Fantasy XIV (Guide in first post)

    Tomes always work the same way, whenever a new raid tier is released(like 5.2), the limited tome becomes unlimited and they add a new limited tome. The current unlimited tome becomes hunt seals stuff instead(nuts this expansion, centurio before). So Phantasmagoria cap will "go away" in a sense...

    Nintendo Switch (previously NX)

    Hmm so no new models, doubt they'll do a price drop for a while then especially since it's selling well. I should probably just buy one at some point in the future, I was hoping for maybe a Switch 1.5 or whatever with better something or other. Then again there's not too many games I'm...

    Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous

    I assume you don't get the key until the kickstarter is done though, can't find any confirmation but that'd make sense since Kickstarter doesn't actually give them money until it's over and it'd be weird for them to hand over keys when you can just cancel your pledge after.

    It's the amount of accounts collected, a fake news figure but eh. And on the contrary I believe online gaming has seen a surge with the virus since it's safer to stay home. Doubt it affects bots much though, since they're not people so they'll run regardless. Seems like there's some nice stuff...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Well also if your paper bag flies away, few weeks later it's half decomposed by the rain and stuff. That's really the point, if garbage people litter, it's not too much of a problem if it's paper bags cause it'll just go away on its own anyway, but plastic bags, not so much. They have paper...

    Warcraft III: Reforged

    Apparently based on a reddit post it seems Blizzard is offering full instant refunds for WC3 preorders. The fact they'd even do that is pretty sad, means they know they actually fucked up, but they did it after people bitched even though they knew they fucked up a long time ago.

    Monster Hunter: World

    Well the game does have "weighty" combat, similar to Dark Souls, and not similar to more action oriented game. Meaning, most weapons do have attacks that will take 3+ seconds to resolve(either single hits or multi hits combos that can't be interupted) that are meant as risk heavy attacks that...

    Monster Hunter: World

    Yeah you can basically put on very rare "buff" on Safi weapons that makes the weapon behave as one piece of the set to activate the bonuses. So for example you can use 2pc teostra with a safi weapon that has teostra essence on it and get Master's Touch as if you had 3pc(which then lets you use...

    Monster Hunter: World

    1) About 2/3rd in. 2) Go to the tail instead, the face really should be left for hammer/hh, or for whoever has shit mobility and is already there. If tail is already cut, go for wings if any and they take good damage(not always the case). If it's a smaller monster or there's no good targets...

    Monster Hunter: World

    Do note that blocking weapons are garbage on velkhana unless you have guard up, because all her breath attacks go through normal block, and since she breathes a fuckton, the fight is basically impossible if you rely on block(mostly lance and somewhat guns, SnS/CB/GL don't necessarily need to...

    Monster Hunter: World

    Oh yeah on Longsword I quite often end up mistiming stuff I usually dodge fine trying to build the meter and then it goes all to shit. Almost ran out of time on a 25mins temp lunastra earlier cause I figured I'd do it on longsword after a while of not playing it and between me fucking up and...

    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    If you put it in a bathtub or something large enough with water you can generally tell by pressing so air comes out, making bubbles in the general direction. Still need to inspect that part but is easier to find.

    Monster Hunter: World

    Thought the new Vaal was also really easy, overall I'm having most issues with the old shitty stuff, Kushala if I'm not using sticky(not hard just insanely annoying) and Lunastra(fucking bullshit). All of them are "easy" when I play lance so more talking about other weapons which don't have the...

    Monster Hunter: World

    Meh once you know the moves velkhana is the easiest elder dragon imo, most is very telegraphed and easy to avoid or it's the quick tail shit that doesn't do a whole lot of damage(and you can avoid easily by just running circles around her). She has good HZV everywhere so even without tenderizing...

    Torchlight III

    Yeah synergy was basically what made it into a 20-30hours game for me into a 100+ hours, I played a bunch of mods and played a bunch of modded endgame and what not. And I played not too long after release iirc so the mods weren't even that good yet.

    Torchlight III

    It's basically a pet class, only the pet is a train that follows the tracks. When I tried it during one of the alpha it was clunky as fuck though so hope they're gonna make it better. The track system just wasn't fun, it was a chore to lay down the tracks and you'd need to keep rebuilding track...

    Monster Hunter: World

    Investigations are random, you get them from breaking parts and picking up tracks, so you generally get a bunch automatically. Also the tailraider safari shit gives you 5 investigations every time it complete from the region you sent them in. You basically keep playing and get more...

    Monster Hunter: World

    Yeah autocrafts only procs when you pick up items to craft and you're not at max. But if you try to use one when you have mats it'll craft it so it's not too much of a problem, although you have to press the potion twice, once to craft and once to drink the one you crafted.

    Monster Hunter: World

    I mean it offers 2 different systems to grind for rather than just the one like vanilla. Guiding Lands is kinda "quick" though. Once you have a fair bit of materials there's no need to go there much anymore, it's not like augments are temporary, or even locked to a weapon. If you find a better...

    Monster Hunter: World

    Mantles in general are around 2%. It's 2% for the tail carve, 2% for the body carve or capture, 2 or 3% for breaking various parts(head and back for rathian), 1% if using plunderblade(on each item it steals). It all adds up but it's still a low%. As usual for farming rare materials what you want...

    Monster Hunter: World

    The meta reddit thread seems to say IG is better with high raw+some ele rather than full ele, so it seems better to stack attack(or some sharpness) rather than try to scale the element. That said as usual you can do whatever especially if you already have the right set bonuses. On the HH why do...

    Monster Hunter: World

    I thought some of them looked nice but yeah I get it running the same fight over and over is boring, sucks every best weapon is basically Safi so you have to run it a billion times.

    Monster Hunter: World

    I guess you drop in white before the monster changes areas but that seems like a lot of purple then a lot of white so probably not a big deal. Isn't that way too much affinity though? You have wex3 and crit eye 7 so that's already 90%, attack IV is another 5% and then you add 25% on the weapon...

    Monster Hunter: World

    Also story time, finished gathering the various mats for my SnS build, shit's pretty fun to play. The weapon takes a bit getting used to, the inputs are way more complex than it looks like and you get stupid shit out too often imo(fucking guard slash which is it even a thing) but it surprisingly...

    Monster Hunter: World

    Only 8? Do you not run Geology? If you have Geology 1 slotted in(make a separate GL set where you just copy your normal set and replace a healthboost or attack or whatever with one), you can loot each shiny twice. Also break parts for more shinies, and do flinch shots into walls everytime the...

    Monster Hunter: World

    Any Namielle will be tempered so you can lure one if you have a lure, or just wait it's not really that rare. And yeah the other mats are either gathering stuff if you haven't done this(gather enough to fill the red bar and spawn the big clusters of bone+ore in each area and you'll have every...

    Monster Hunter: World

    A lot of older MH players are split on MHW because on one hand, it is a lot easier, a lot stuff is less punishing and like you said being able to refill your inventory mid quest makes a huge difference, some strategies involve switching weapons or sets between phases, you never run out of...

    Monster Hunter: World

    Only on consoles for now and Nergi was just added today, but yeah once you get to endgame you can actually use all the LR/HR armors as layered. Still can't use MR but they've been adding them steadily so probably the next big update in a couple of months they'll have the early MR stuff and...

    Monster Hunter: World

    I think motion value is extrapolated from the true raw and the damage that pops up when you hit. Also once the PC version released a lot of stuff could be datamined/confirmed better. I believe they were waiting for the PC version of Iceborne to do a lot of the serious math they couldn't do on...
  33. Pyros

    Monster Hunter: World

    Well the math is complicated but some people bother doing it and generally high raw+some element with no element support skills beats out low raw+high element weapons with true crit element(silver rathalos 4pc) or normal crit element(2pc) with 5/5 element skill. That said it does depend on the...

    Monster Hunter: World

    While there's definitely some point in doing elemental builds, a lot of elemental builds don't actually benefit from stacking the elemental damage skill or even running critical element. Basically the damage from a high raw weapon with side elemental is better than a pure elemental weapon with...

    Monster Hunter: World

    You can only have 2 atm, the amount expands when they add more areas but on PC for now it's 19 total or so I hear(so 7/7/4/1). That's why I'm switching which I have at 7 to farm the monsters. It doesn't take too long to switch so it's not a big problem and once you have the materials you can use...

    Monster Hunter: World

    I have the set, I got a bunch of tickets joining other people but running the solo event works well enough too, it's quick runs(35-40secs), gives 2-3 of the basic IB decorations and tickets every 4runs or so. I'm just gonna keep running groups until I have the "help 10 ppl" achievement and then...

    Works the same way as any other elders you'll find him randomly in elder recess or wildspire in expeditions(check map between missions), or just join any SOS with him and you should unlock the optional to kill him and you'll be able to get tracks for investigations. Man current events involve A...

    Monster Hunter: World

    I mean if it's just the def down you can use 3points in def down immunity or the charm, but I'm not sure it's that. Maybe I'll try it out next time I fight Jho but unlike vanilla where I had to fight him several times to get a bunch of the weapons, in IB his weapons are just pretty much all shit...

    Monster Hunter: World

    I do think it's a fun fight, has some really cool attacks, the rapid fire fireball shit is hilarious and many of his moves are really unique but he's definitely pretty high on the monster that will randomly kill me even when using lance. Which isn't that many realistically, most elders are a...

    Monster Hunter: World

    As a side note Kushala is still a big flying fuck so I made a HBG Sticky build to kill him a few times now that my forest is leveled, ironically I just upgraded the Zorah cluster HBG I had made in vanilla specifically to farm him(before Jho was added since his HBG was just all around better)...
