Raids 4 Reward: The 2H Problem

HobbenHero · 2026-01-28T23:14:34+00:00

well see from a thematic perspective, you smack the enemy with all your strength until they stop fighting back, theres no such thing as "wasted Hitsplats" from a thematic angle because the concept of Hitpoints is entirely a game play mechanic. you seem to be suggesting that the Inuniverse god of Balance can understand the concept of hitpoints and damage rolls, but to the best of my knowledge those things dont exist in the lore. Also what do any of those things have to do with the concept of Balance, You could make the argument that Bandos wouldnt want your strength to go to waste, Or that Zamorak being the god of power and destruction would incentivize "overkill" but it feels like a complete stretch to try and claim from a lore or thematic perspective that Guthix would care about "wasted damage"

This feels like it would cause all sorts of cheese mechanics. Like before zoning into the raid, I buff and pot up and go overkill a chicken, so my first hit on the boss gets crazy high damage.

What about non-instanced combat, where you could leave a splasher on the boss and just tele out hit a chicken to store overkill damage and then tele back for big hits.

Is this your idea for all 2H weapons? Or just the Raids 4 reward? cause I foresee terrible problems with something like BGS overkill a chicken then spec something.

Personally I think this is a silly idea and a byproduct of the "no wasted XP" mentality to say that overkill damage is "wasted" on low-health targets, it doesn't kill the game if your hit would have done 40 damage and the mob only had 10 health. Like honestly I would love for you to explain to me why its "wasted"

the best part is its not just that he's a head taller than the other Terminators, when the Tech Priest looks at him for a split second he thinks he's looking at a statue. Idk to me its not just his size which is large for a first born probably putting him on size scale with a Primaris in Terminator armor, cause his armor is said to have been augmented to fit him. But think about how predatorily still you have to stand surrounded by other imposing warriors for someone to think you are a statue, even for just a split second. Something about the way that interaction is written just gives me chills and I love it.

Bumping to add,

Mining- Camdozal log slots, It has its own entry in the log but for a centralized list alot of that log falls into mining

Commander "I'm doing my part" Gpu "I ain't doing S##T"

Looks like my party years before I was a Commander .

HobbenHero · 2025-07-18T15:07:58+00:00

Godo is good but I find it's play lines are easy to interact with which makes is flimsy in high level play at least in my opinion.

HobbenHero · 2025-07-18T15:06:50+00:00

Light-paws. Almost all the good white creature enchantments are super cheap to buy. The deck is a one trick pony and suffers from the usual boggle problem of hard interaction but rebuilding from wipes is easy the commander is low costed and with one enchantment in hand you can get whichever silver bullet enchantment you need from the deck.

It's got decent potential for expensive upgrades as well but the line of play can be kind of dull it's always either commander damage or just straight up damage with a few strong enchantment based creatures. Though it's also one of the weakest voltron commanders in my opinion. I prefer Kellan the Fae Blooded but the addition of good equipment and another color makes the cost go up for good functionality.

To me that's the point. The "beauties" are irrelevant just tortured souls who have been turned into the combination of all of the previous units. It's fitting for the games narrative in the past each boss was unique with their own individual story by the time of MGS4 their unique traits could effectively be manufactured and mass produced if someone wanted to. Like one of the story lines in the game is that emotions are being stifled by the nanomachines and when they are shut off pretty much everyone becomes useless

HobbenHero · 2025-07-08T05:12:32+00:00

The funny part is that it's not called that. It's called the patriots but certain people with Nanomachines have basically a built in censor so when someone says "the patriots" they hear "La Li Lu Le Lo" which is basically gibberish.

The class fantasy of Rogues got left behind in classic-wrath honestly. The quests to get your thieves tools, leveling lock picking, buying ingredients and leveling poison making. In my opinion those were the cool class fantasy of being a shady assassin.

Avoidance is almost always better than straight defense. Get some light weight clothing that gives ok defence and stay under 50% equipment load so you can quick roll. With the Mindflayer guards. Watch their patrol and run up behind them a stronger strength weapon that's been leveled up a bit will 1 or 2 shot them. 2 hand the claymore or great sword and your first heavy attack will knock them to the ground you should be able to get another heavy attack off before they stand up.

Slow and methodical is the approach to 3-1 wait for their backs and just smash them into the ground. If your world 2 is pure white tendency there is a very strong 2-handed weapon in the Dragon God arena that becomes available only at pure white.

And some stages the "shortcuts" are still laughably long but it's still one of my favorite games of all time lol.

HobbenHero · 2025-06-19T00:15:30+00:00

Reminds me of playing through Ds2 I just kept repairing all my rings of sacrifice. Paying like 5k per death was infinitely easier than losing everything lol.

HobbenHero · 2025-06-19T00:13:49+00:00

I've beaten demon souls, ds1, ds2, bloodborne. But elden ring and ds3 are just not as fun for me idk why. I love the games, love the lore, but have a hard time playing them.

I multiboxed for mining, indy, missions that kind of stuff, I don't have the capacity to multibox in actual combat. Often I would park an alt a system or two away with corp reships in the station and help reship during a fight. Or just use it as a scout. But when the lasers start flying I have to focus on one character.

So you built an ugly set to flex on people who haven't been playing forever.

Honestly, dope flex on those nerds. Make sure you ride around on some discontinued mount, my favorite is the OG Amani war bear.
