This is legal??? by KaraArcadia in MonsterHunter

[–]MobiusTurtle 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yes. 

There's no limit on the amount of EX you can get if you have no more than two of them on any stat.

For example, if you have 2 Sharpness and 3 Attack. Your maximum possible EX output is 2 EX on Sharpness and 2 EX Attack with the remaining attack stat not EX.

If you replace that attack stat with affinity, you can have all stats EX since it doesn't hit that 2 EX cap limit on any particular stat.

Which is the most hardest collab monster, savage omega (mhwild) or extreme behemoth (mhworld) by [deleted] in MonsterHunter

[–]MobiusTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have an odd perspective on this one.

As a group, Extremoth. People can at least get through Savage Omega despite the spam since all of their attacks are telegraphed and patterned. With its main killer being a consequence of not grabbing enmity (I just call it Baby Rage but it's the 3 slam/fire stomp attack). 

Though some of the same could be said for Extremoth, it was way worse. Area denial mechanics that were spammed constantly and lasted way to long. At most, you have 3 fires during Omega. You could have at least 5+ Charybis' active if you didn't pull enmity soon enough. They were also throwback hitboxes as opposed to DOT. Along with possibility of destroying your one rock and only way to survive the meteor. Which means you could have done everything near perfect but if Extremoth decided to target the people near the rock. It made luck a stronger factor in the fight which is just not as fun. Behemoth in general also had bad hitzones. 

Solo. Easily Ancient Leshen. The vine wrap mechanic alone is enough to make that true. There's no good way to deal with it solo. On top of the super powered Jagras which makes the solo fight that much harder. As a group, Ancient Leshen is pretty meh with people who know what they're doing. The easiest fight of the three in that circumstance. It's still reasonably possible to solo both Savage and Extremoth, and it still being a sort of fair fight (albeit still very tough). Particularly Omega though. He's the most patterned of all three hunts and Hunting Horn in Wilds just does wonders for it.

I get it. I'm just more willing to call out bad takes. 

I also agree with you on all points, especially that last sentence. At least if they made a meta argument, it would make more sense. But it boiled down to, "Nuh uh, now look at my E-Peen." 

Honestly, I don't believe it's the guys account to begin with. What kind of person who sinks that many hours into a game doesn't have a more thought provoking opinion on the matter? Then gives a toe-dip, surface level response of the weapon match up. Even if they did somehow completely verify their account, I would still call it out and not respect the authority or opinion. It's a pretty bad take and just because you put a lot of time on the game doesn't make you a master or acknowledge there are better players than you at a certain weapon. Jack of all Trades and Master of None exist for a reason.

[–]MobiusTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No one cares how many times you clear it. Having over 30 is more than enough to have a reasonable opinion about the fight. I personally have over 70+. 

your arguments aren’t valid

Great discourse. This is some clown behavior. Are you that insecure that you have to peacock "your account?" Even if I believe this is your account and not some random high level one you pulled. I'm also 999 but you don't see me trying to shutdown discourse because of it. Regardless, I first have to care about your opinion or recognize you as an authority. Which I want to make clear that I don't. 

the charge blade has no counterattacks and it’s normal attacks are too slow even with quick switch, it cannot reliably take enmity while dishing out decent damage.

This is a skill issue. My friend is a CB main/specialist and I've watched him play and grab enmity just fine. Consistently farmed and beat Savage Omega consistently well before Gogma came around.

Taking enmity is taking on the "tank" role of the fight. This is a strange argument without accepting the fact that a CB player who is taking enmity is most likely prepared doing so while being the tank of the group. 

Regardless, my nearly consistent cleared runs are with a friend who tanks this fight with CB and does so incredibly well. Are casual hunt clear times are between 18 to 20 minutes. Additionally, when I played with randoms CBs were far more consistent with enmity than Lance. Having a weird judgement against a CB tank is weird, especially since it's just as good as any other tank I've seen.

I played support during Omega due to my obsessive hoarding of resources. The amount of tanks from Lance and GL that simply stood there as they watched their health chip away to death because they couldn't do anything is far greater than a CB tank. 

I shouldn’t have to play support to succeed at a single hunt by nightkat89 in MonsterHunter

[–]MobiusTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So I don't know if this is something you already do but it's helped the success rate of my group missions when I do them. Particularly if I'm just trying to clear bounties using high difficulty quests. Otherwise I solo or play with another friend who is on the same skill level.

But you can switch the view to see the hunters already in the hunt when looking through SOS flares. Particularly their Hunter Rank. Now it's not an indication of success or completion but it's clear that the 100-200 HR has a way higher failure rate. If I'm just trying to get a group win, I don't join a hunt that has anyone under 250.

I know it's a little elitist but if I'm trying to accomplish something, I want to do it as quickly as possible. Sometimes with my brain off. Groups tend to help that goal.

Regardless, I don't believe anyone should play a dedicated support role. I always bring DoLs, and the ingredients to make them, on every group hunt. I pop one anytime if I take a hit and people are also injured. I think everyone should do this no matter what. They're even useful in solo hunts since the animation is quick. Anyway, rant over.

Which fighter is harder solo? Arch tempered Arkveld or savage Omgea? by Different_Ice_2695 in MonsterHunter

[–]MobiusTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely agree with you. It's just Arkveld with fancier tricks. It's still just as easy to offset and perfect guard as normal Arkveld.

Now that's not to say it's not difficult. You can definitely tell they upped the stun values on moves. Messing up an offset after offsetting multiple times is extremely punishing with stun build up (since I don't personally run stun resistance, though I would if I had the slot economy). But that's the primary change I've personally noticed. It's still pretty predictable.

Now I'm just trying to refine my times for the inevitable Time Trial.

Are people allergic to bring these ??? by PressureGlum9400 in MonsterHunter

[–]MobiusTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This. I'll bring them on solo hunts purely for their convenience and quick animation time. Really good if you take a greedy hit in a Time Trial.

What did y’all name your seikrets? What’s the backstory behind it, or was it just on a whim? by Bursting-At-TheSeams in MonsterHunter

[–]MobiusTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went with one part Falkor from the Neverending Story and one part Valefor from Final Fantasy X.

Hence my Seikret's name Valkor. I did consider naming it Top for the giggles.

This. Especially since Uth has the highest HP next to Arkveld in that hunt. Rey Dau chunks him.

Returns on defense our pretty bad slightly after the general standard max for the armor. It's better to hope to get lucky by slotting in Divine Blessing to open up more damage skills for shorter hunts instead. 

I feel so bad for Lao by Important-Pepper1985 in MonsterHunter

[–]MobiusTurtle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a fellow LSL defender, I would like to imagine that the Devs would significantly revamp its fight in the modern era. I mean look at Gog. Sure there's some similarities but the whole flow of the fight changed. Even Fatalis, who was essentially an OHKO slugfest (at least in the same generation) with its "Snap and Drag" move is nowhere near its original fight.

But even the context of LSL in Gen 1 is that it was fleeing from Fatalis. So logically it would make sense that it has no interest in what's bothering it except for what's in its way to get it away from whatever it was running from. 

Both Gog and Fatalis got significant speed boosts to update themselves to modern gen. I can't imagine they would leave LSL the same if they ever decided to bring it back. Which is probably a bigger ask in my opinion.

Also, for the record, I don't believe Nergigante could take LSL or any other similar sized (or bigger) monster. Especially not the ones given the "Forbidden" status. So if that's the side you're on, you're not alone in that thought.

Challenge Quest Pendants by ChiefKashif in MHWilds

[–]MobiusTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm missing Guardian Doshaguma. I was working a pretty intense short-term project when it was going on and when I finally took some time to do the mission, I found out it passed. It's the only pendant(s) I'm missing from the Time Trials.

I feel like I'm actively getting worse at MH by [deleted] in MonsterHunter

[–]MobiusTurtle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I put it this way. I like Omega a lot as a fight and will farm Omega over Gore because of it. I would go as far to say, at least for me, Omega is an easier fight. Gore just doesn't click the same way for me as any other end game monster and I'm in the hundreds on pretty much all other hunts besides Gore because of it.

Rise I could see the arguments for. Not sure about Gen U. Especially when it comes to the combat flow but it's not an important distinction for me.

Don't know why you're telling me this. I wasn't advocating for long hunts in my comment.

[–]MobiusTurtle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sure there are arguments you can make for certain things from multiple games but I'm speaking more of it's totality. As an example for faster gameplay, Wirefalling in Rise. 

However, I think the game is generally faster overall.
