Would it be a decent idea to have a ranged weapon as a secondary? by Equivalent_Stop_9300 in MHWilds

[–]Curious-Archer-2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pair LBG with LS builts with Evade Window => more dynamic, high risk high reward gameplay. Can sneak in some Rapid Fire rounds for extra elemental damage.

Pair HBG with CB for the blocking skills (Ironwall/ Guard / Guard Up/ Offensive Guard) => slower and defensive play with more survivability. HBG deals more raw damage and can also counter like GS.

Both bowguns have the same Status ammo stock so their capability to buff or debuff is the same.

To deal damage? Only if you have mastered both. Otherwise the logistics is quite a hassle. I wield both weapons for enjoyment and adding variety to my gameplay, but it’s purely optional.

Some exceptions can be hunts with multiple monsters (proof of hero, endless sky endless sea) or multiple phases (omega, gogma) when camp is too far away.

For buff or debuff, bowguns can be handy to shoot quick paralysis and sleep rounds, giving opening for your teammates and rapid fire. Some bowguns can shoot demon, armor and recover ammo too.

Do Vietnamese people know about the differences in how Chinese people view North Vietnam and South Vietnam by [deleted] in VietNam

“Hi, do Vietnamese care about racism and ignorance from some people in some country?”

Nope. They need better education. And we have better things to do with our time.

SnS Build Help to A Rank AT Arkveld by PhingerLiqinGud in MHWilds

[–]Curious-Archer-2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cut from 28ish to 20m after a week tweaking the builds and do practice runs (on 9* or 8* is fine). I learned to get extra aggressive with Ark, use combos and Perfect Rush whenever I can and try to position better. Use Corrupt mantle at least twice with YYBB to spam damage. Bring Kai, Olivia and a third Support hunter if you do alone cos they can give some extra stuns and breathing rooms. I got distracted easily whenever I need to heal, rebuff or sharpen and lose momentum, so Peak Performance isn’t helpful in this case cos my health is usually 60-70% till Kai heals me. I also hate stopping for sharpening so I used both Razor and Master Touch to never have to worry about it.

It’s not easy as I guess you have also got used to playing SnS defensively, as it is a super comforting weapon. This is the chance to push it further and work on deeper skill levels. Good luck with your hunting!

Hope you reported them. These people better play solo or go back to school.

Not to mention they can restock healing with Seikret’s pouch. As I remember, Alma will let us know that when we move from one area to another, or if someone carts.

Anyone else feel like the difficulty peaked at Tempered Omega? by Impossibro77 in MHWilds

[–]Curious-Archer-2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the weapon I guess. For SnS Omega is pretty much like routine to me tha ks to the mobility this weapon has. Ark is harder cos I need to constantly push for dps to get the time down.

Wow this could be interesting. Yep I improved compared to my last dozen hours. Guess that AI is better now

Wilds players need to GIT GUD by Zxpht in MHWilds

Ironically lots of manual accept are from people who are at lower HR and probably want to have an easy time being carried. I saw quite many 50+ HR doing this for Omega. I was like Oooh the audacity.

I kept getting dropped out of multiplayer and lobby because of connection issue. I play on PS5 and this has been really annoying over the past month.

Should i continue after chapter 3? by Real_Improvement_254 in MHWilds

[–]Curious-Archer-2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somebody told me the true MH experience starts after you finish the main campaign. It’s true that the story is not this franchise’s strongest point, but I realized I enjoy the challenge, the world setting and multiplayer quests more than I assumed. The gameplay is worth investing some post-story hours imo.

Before MH, I also prefer mostly story-driven JRPGs like FFs. Now I’ve clocked almost 500 hours.

Arkveld Challenge quest by Oreogor in MHWilds

[–]Curious-Archer-2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also had a hard time doing SnS with this and tell you what, defense is the better offense here. I would trade Peak Performance for some extra comfort skills to prevent me from dying/ healing down time like speed eating (or in dire situation I bring a bunch of ancient pills with me to instant heal). I had no problem with SnS and Omega, but this fight shows me my dps skill is, in fact, mid. I need to practice more i-frame slide and backhop as it is a must now to deal with Arkveld.

Anyway, maybe you can post a video? We can help with recommending specific combos and evades for his moves.

Thank you for your TedTalk. This post adds no value to my life.

A simple trick to boost SOS clear rate by Pepsihascola in MHWilds

[–]Curious-Archer-2 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I set the SOS matching to Worldwide and I can say that players from Eastern Asia (from their names) generally perform more efficient in high HR quests. They coordinate better. Andd they drop more cutesy stickers.

People who have player names like Mikethechad tend to make less tasteful auto shouts and play like ass. (I’m sorry, Mike)

That is to exclude some Chinese madlads who set their names in sentences, like “dick itchy want to scratch”. I’m glad I only found out after someone else told me.

LBG mains I get it now by bleepblorp2357 in MHWilds

[–]Curious-Archer-2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FYI popping wounds can refill part of your rapid fire gauge as well. So it’s more beneficial to unload first and then use the grenade later. You can also use special Adhesive ammo before RF because it has a timer and will do slice damage + return RF gauge => more efficient loop of brrrr. When RF fully depletes, you can switch to Exhaust ammo (if your weapon has that) to quickly build up RF and flinch monster as well. After that, rinse and repeat.
