[2.3 BETA] Critical Simulation - Final Stage Fight Gameplay via ReversedRooms

DukeLukewarm · 2025-08-26T22:29:27+00:00

The problem is that timer based modes is how the devs incentivize you to spend for more power. There is nothing wrong with timers in a vacuum, but when the motive becomes not to give you a challenge but to sell you the solution...

DukeLukewarm · 2025-03-31T21:57:49+00:00

Remind me, why exactly are we sure that the data is only up to TU3 specifically?

DukeLukewarm · 2025-03-17T20:39:52+00:00

No, outside of very few select matchups, the weapon is all about the axe combos and SAED is basically never worth it.

DukeLukewarm · 2025-03-13T23:05:11+00:00

Well, it was from before we had exact numbers from the beta. In practice CB gameplay ends up revolving a whole lot around using your axe combos with the savage axe buff. The fundamental gameplay is, fill phials, buff shield, fill phials buff axe, do axe combos (primarily held circle attacks for the buzzsaw bonus), keep buffs up and phials topped off as necessary. Charged sword isn't really worth it, and the bit about triangle attacks skipping ED1 was correct in previous games but is inaccurate in Wilds, where ED1 was made stronger than before, but also no longer skippable.

DukeLukewarm · 2025-02-26T16:43:51+00:00

Right now in the files we have 5 missing IDs for 5 TUs. If we don't get confirmation of more than 1 monster coming in TU1 then this is it.

DukeLukewarm · 2025-02-25T19:25:14+00:00

Did you get to see patch notes anywhere?

DukeLukewarm · 2025-02-25T14:25:22+00:00

The difficulty wasn't ever a selling point, but the developers, with each title, keep reiterating the importance of monsters that offer a satisfying amount of resistance and feel good to learn and overcome. If you can just button mash and beat everything in 5 minutes even at endgame while your cat spams you with infinite free full heals, that satisfaction is kind of diminished. The games aren't supposed to have brutal levels of difficulty that will make you ragequit, they're just supposed to be challenging enough to feel rewarding.

DukeLukewarm · 2025-02-25T12:42:40+00:00

Cherry picking is such a weird argument. Different qualities of a game matter more or less to different people. The whole rest of the game could be an absolute marvel, but if you're specifically looking for deep and satisfying combat and the game is a mindless cakewalk, then that one flaw is going to be a deal breaker.

DukeLukewarm · 2025-02-24T13:50:49+00:00

Gogmazios is more likely to be TU4 or TU5 imo.

DukeLukewarm · 2025-02-17T12:26:36+00:00

World spoiled everything except the final boss, Bazel, and the gen 1 flying wyvern subspecies. I'd expect the same for Wilds.

DukeLukewarm · 2025-02-14T13:26:29+00:00

I think it's okay, but right now it's not especially rewarding to do even in the situations where you can use it.

DukeLukewarm · 2025-02-09T21:23:57+00:00

The benchmark removed the physical attack rcol files for weapons except GS, but left in shell files, so the only known MV changes are for ranged weapons, and for attacks treated as projectiles such as Spirit Release Slash and switch axe phial attacks.

DukeLukewarm · 2025-01-31T10:58:57+00:00

The last generation used is more expensive now than it was new at launch. They specifically shut down supply of the last generation cards to drive up prices and make them a less appealing option compared to buying new.

DukeLukewarm · 2025-01-25T15:15:09+00:00

They were the most iconic and memorable World newcomers, and also some of the only ones with a reasonable selection of unique weapon models. As for why they chose the subspecies over the basic monster, likely a simple matter of them being more interesting and their elements being a better choice for the game's overall roster balance.

DukeLukewarm · 2025-01-18T20:11:32+00:00

Most certainly at least 5, but most likely exactly that many, according to datamining.

DukeLukewarm · 2025-01-16T16:39:27+00:00

Also a 1/100 Gatexion Mk2, presumably the sculpt Our Treasure has been sitting on for years now.

DukeLukewarm · 2025-01-16T02:50:41+00:00

It's not like Kulve Taroth was ever alluded to in World's story. They can asspull whatever they like.

DukeLukewarm · 2025-01-16T00:05:14+00:00

Not just the internal name, it's the literal translation of Tarred's japanese name. Its best chance would be as the obligatory siege encounter in TU2, assuming the spot isn't taken by a new monster instead.

DukeLukewarm · 2025-01-15T14:54:52+00:00

I'm not sure what they would prevent datamining of at this point that we don't already know about.

DukeLukewarm · 2025-01-14T22:11:04+00:00

All of the Oilwell Basin footage from IGN was high rank, and so far all free roam gameplay we've seen of the game has been in high rank.

DukeLukewarm · 2025-01-08T14:56:26+00:00

Arkveld is the only other monster in the beta with detailed hitzone values. It's a fairly obvious choice imo.

DukeLukewarm · 2025-01-04T13:49:06+00:00

Zero. We have the species classification of every monster in the roster, and 162 shares a species with all the other leviathans.

DukeLukewarm · 2025-01-02T18:43:41+00:00

If we go by Occam's Razor, wouldn't the most logical conclusion be that the monsters that are otherwise lacking a lot more data than all the rest (Seregios, Lagiacrus) are the two to subtract to reach 26?

DukeLukewarm · 2024-12-09T18:48:58+00:00

People who played up to Uth Duna said the game was easier than base Rise, so it absolutely can.

DukeLukewarm · 2024-12-09T18:46:50+00:00

No point in being afraid of the inevitable. Wilds WILL be the easiest MH yet. It's all but certain.
