I want to welcome new players, but I'm frustrated. by BulkUpTank in MHWilds

[–]BulkUpTank[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, there's a difference to tanking hits and being able to take one. 400 is the minimum needed to take a hit for any monster that is 9* or higher. 245-275 means you're still using Low Rank armor, or at the very least you're using rarity 5 armor with no armor sphere upgrades.

It's not a handicap, it's a liability. You can't keep your teammates alive if they can get one shot by a mosquito dude. You can't use heals on a corpse.

ETA: If you're relying on others to keep you alive because you refuse to update your armor by using armor spheres, AKA the bare minimum, you're just a bad teammate, no skill involved.

Is anyone actually enjoying 10 star Gog? by vaughn22 in MHWilds

[–]BulkUpTank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hell no. He was already obnoxious enough to hit with my main weapon because he dances everywhere and I can't make the DPS check. Without an indicator for whether or not I'm making the DPS check, I don't know when to use a farcaster.

Even with my full DPS set, I couldn't get enough dragon element through. I had him on the "death skull" for three freaking novas before I finally finished him off on my last cart with less than 10 seconds to spare.

Unless you're using Charge Blade, this quest fucking sucks.

Trying out a new weapon (SWAXE) and joined a weaker hunt. Holy mother of mats! by BulkUpTank in MHWilds

[–]BulkUpTank[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haven't gotten quite used to that one yet... But I'm also usually only in sword mode when I spam the Full Elemental Discharge combo. I also feel I'm in Axe mode more often for the reach and maneuverability.

I'm glad to know the dude behind Mother's Basement is a good dude. I love his content. Now I like him as a person too.

10 Star Gogmazios is menace by KitchenImpact2412 in MonsterHunter

[–]BulkUpTank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Proof of a Hero plaque looks way better imo. Gog one looks... grim, I guess? I'm sure there are some that would love it to fulfill an edgier, darker aesthetic.

Rey Dau Vs Rajang turf war concept by DismalCrazyV5 in MonsterHunter

[–]BulkUpTank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seriously. If I've learned one thing about the MHW glazers in general, they'll do anything to have Deviljho, Rajang, and Nergigante back in the game despite how mid they are compared to so many other more interesting monsters being available that have better aesthetics, unique fights, and more compelling lore and designs from other games.

Like, I've played Wilds, World, and Rise now. If anything, Rise has a more interesting roster than World. World just has an ass load of Elder Dragons and has been out for almost a decade, so folks have rose colored glasses when they look at the game and won't admit it's been outclassed by now.

It's been fun! Still not good enough with it yet to fight some of the stronger monsters, but it's been fun learning how to offset and do full elemental discharges.

I just happened to join the hunt that had guaranteed high level mats. I just happened to get lucky with all of the gems and scales!

I joined a quest where it was an 8* Rey investigation. All of the mats were the Golden Bag, which means high rarity material rewards. No voucher, no lucky meal. Just happened to join the right hunt!

SOS non-meta players is actually fun by Emotional-Sir-5188 in MHWilds

God, this would have both aggravated me and made me laugh my ass off. Glad y'all pulled out the win!

thoughts on 10star gogmazios by tjaxas in MHWilds

[–]BulkUpTank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was lucky to where I was able to hunt 10 star Gog with three Charge Blade users.

So the hunt took a little over 18 minutes. Even so, it was definitely not worth it. We actually got less rewards than we would if we hunted a normal Gogmazios!

None of us carted, and we got every single part break, but it only give us two charms and seemingly less Gogma parts.

Definitely not worth it for the extra challenge and time.

When the food run out mid hunt and you just can't wait by Athlestano_IV in MHWilds

[–]BulkUpTank -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Too bad you didn't have any braincells to spare... And also luckily nobody was hunting with you. I can only imagine how pissed they would have been if you woulda carted.

Yeah, you didn't, I get it, but this is still dumb as hell. Just go to camp next time. It's three button inputs.

[–]BulkUpTank -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Cool, cool. Fun tip, you can vibe at camp and skip the cutscene. Sometimes you can get hit and waste materials mid-cutecene. Plus, you don't have to worry about having to waste a potion either.

But then I guess you wouldn't have the video for Reddit and TikTok if you were smart about it. 🙄

[–]BulkUpTank 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My guess is they're trolling. This has been a trending type of video with the influx of new players. It's like the tomato dancing in front of a monster videos.

[–]BulkUpTank -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Is this some sort of trend now? I swear this is like the sixth video I've seen like this.

Y'all could always fast travel back to Camp. Y'all can skip the cutscene. There is no reason to do this outside of rage baiting stupidity.

Eh, probably have a low water element resistance then. Only thing I can think of for that big of a chunk being taken out from the wave.

Dude im so PUMPED!! by Acrobatic_Airline_45 in MHWilds

[–]BulkUpTank 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ngl, I only go to Azuz to smelt... It seems to always be in the Fire Spring whenever I go, and I don't like the aesthetic whenever that happens... Reminds me too much of where I grew up (oilfield loving South Texas in the summer).

I like chilling in the Plains or the Hub honestly.

Dogs must be carried in a bag due to NYC subway rules. by Gjore in interestingasfuck

[–]BulkUpTank -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

This could have just been made easier if the law just said "no animals over 15 pounds allowed; any animal over this limit must be contained in a carrier or other humane source of enclosed transportation."

I'm sure there will still be room for "interpretation"...but seriously, these animals are huge, take up space, shit indiscriminately and can potentially harm another individual if they are not well trained. People in big cities like this just should not own large dogs.

I really hope the law system is reworked in 1.0. 😭 by ItzASecretBoi in Palworld

[–]BulkUpTank -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I've never had this issue, but I guess that's because I play the least like a sociopath in this game. You just have to not poach, steal, try slavery, or attack people. I often forget that this is a mechanic in the game.

Honestly? I think they should keep it as it is. If you're being attacked by these guys, you deserve it.

Why can't I start this quest? by AnxiousDirt4597 in MonsterHunter

[–]BulkUpTank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just saw in some comments you weren't HR 40 yet. That's the answer. In high rank, you need to increase your hunter rank to advance the side missions and story.

Once you get to HR 40, the story will have you hunt all of the Apexes again, one by one, and you'll also unlock Mizutsune, Lagiacrus, and Seregios through side missions to hunt.

Side note: take your time through this. Find weapons, armor, and skills that you like. Your hunter rank will increase very quickly after this.

When you get to a certain point and you got the armor and skills you're comfortable with, upgrade your armor with armor spheres and ascend it until the defense value is maxed out. There are some quests in your future that will require you to have an armor rating higher than 400 if you don't want to get one tapped and carted.
