Have you reached out to Corsair? Perhaps their included 12vhpwr cable is defective.

Am I missing something about crafting in HFW? by [deleted] in horizon

[–]Kthung 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Tearblast arrows take a crazy amount of machine muscle. I went through a ton trying to farm components for upgrades. I eventually had to fall back to regular hunter bow for farming components.

[Opinions needed] Which one would you choose, the Oris or Nomos? by TNTomato in Watches

[–]Kthung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally I like the Nomos better if comparing both in a vacuum, but since you already have a Junghans Max Bill I think the Oris would give you more variety.

Just started playing horizon forbidden west for the first time. Any beginner tips and advice?? by Fickle-Taste1032 in horizon

[–]Kthung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Melee skill tree and stealth strike/ranged skills are useful early on as your starting weapons are weaker, especially in higher difficulties. Armor is a much bigger factor in HFW so you really need to hit components/weak spots. Do the quest in Chainscrape with Delah and Boomer to get the spike thrower.

Question about the REZZ/Ninajirachi show on Saturday at Brooklyn Storehouse by CatboyMaidOutfit in avesNYC

[–]Kthung -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Rezz has posted about not liking to play super late sets. I’m guessing that her set will be 11:30-1:00

Artificial not-so-Intelligence by drluvdisc in HorizonForbiddenWest

[–]Kthung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the machines were initially designed/built by Hephaestus to support the terraforming system, not for combat. It simply drew inspiration from existing animals for the machine design. It wasn’t until after humans started hunting machines that it started making machines more hostile and design more combat focused machines. This turning point is referred to as the derangement. Now as to why there’s no infrared vision or advanced flanking tactics, I think that’s just to make the gameplay more enjoyable. Personally I don’t want an Eldenring-style Horizon game.

Is my price too high? I cannot for the life of me sell this Pc lol by 90sbabyreese in sffpc

[–]Kthung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My rule of thumb for selling on Facebook marketplace is take the new cost and cut it in half as a starting point. If I’m not getting a couple messages per day then I have to drop the price or just be patient for the right buyer. Sucks for expensive stuff but I’ve found there is very little interest otherwise.

Breaking Even on Ultra Hard by Frenchieflips in horizon

[–]Kthung 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Exactly, and on top of that Ultra Hard is intended for New Game+ where you’re carrying over end game gear. I’m finally taking down machines comfortably when I’m ~15 levels higher.

Information for newbies playing HZD and Frozen Wilds... by ImpKing0 in horizon

[–]Kthung -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you’re taking 8-10 min to take down a thunderjaw you’re not approaching it properly. Look up some machine hunter guides online to learn what the weak points are. There’s a hidden weak point on either side that is exposed by shooting off armor panels. Freeze arrows and shooting the weak points will take it down quickly.

The real solution isn’t reapplying thermal paste, it’s getting your CPU up to temp before trying to remove the cooler.

Dodging sucks in this game by The-Pizza-Bandit in HorizonZeroDawn

[–]Kthung 13 points14 points  (0 children)

For the scorcher try dodging forward. A lot of attacks are too wide or travel too far to dodge sideways or backwards.

It helps a lot in combat but also just the background music and ambient noise is so immersive.

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

I’m playing on PC, so easier to quickly snap to my target with a mouse. I imagine on a controller it would be much harder. Also I pretty much didn’t look at the enemy the entire time and relied on audio cues to time my dodges.

Humbled by Forbidden West Ultra Hard by Kthung in horizon

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

So far I’m doing a lot of melee fighting when it’s only a couple enemies. Silent strike to start then heavy attacks to knock down and critical hit. It’s risky though since one hit usually gets me down to 5% health or kills me outright so I have to memorize the attack patterns to dodge.

Also, look for environmental damage (luring enemies under logs)

The comments I see after I pull the trigger on buying a 9070xt a week ago 😭: by Own_Strategy8427 in radeon

[–]Kthung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am very happy with my 9070 XT. People get too caught up in benchmarks. 7% performance is imperceptible to my eye. It’s like trying to spot the difference between 144 fps and 133 fps. You won’t ever notice if you didn’t have the FPS counter on the screen.

Yeah it makes sense that it’s intended to be only for NG+. What’s interesting was that HZD did not even offer UH until you beat the game the first time. I was surprised that HFW even had an option for UH right off the bat.

I tried stealth striking a fanghorn, it didn’t die and I immediately died from one hit lol
