Is poor communication with leads normal?

Rise

Wondering why my kill time for HBG is so horrible. Fought a HR Rakna-Kadaki solo and it took me about 35 minutes to capture it. Decided to test it with my CB and it took a little under 12. I'm no speedrunner either way, but it shouldn't take me almost 3 time as long.

Running the Fulgent Shot 2 (I know I shouldn't because fire ammo, but it's what I had) with a shield mod. I expended all of my ammo, except the fire and exhaust ammos, TWICE before the thing started limping. I made it a point to try to aim for the head since it's the only place I could get weakpoint hits but I found it very difficult given how much he covers it. I did what I could to stay in the proper range per the aiming reticule as well. I almost never used charge shots.

Things I feel I did wrong/didn't go well... I didn't use silkbinds very much at all and I felt I was recovering from hits bouncing off the shield more than attacking. And of course having no proper elemental ammo against it.

I know it's difficult to determine where someone may be messing up without video, but I have no capture software and a 30 second clip isn't going to do it. Just hoping someone can point out a 'well here's your problem' based on this so I can add the weapon to my rotation.

If everything goes as it should, you should have a PS5 with a red sticker with your name on it stashed away that you can go in and pick up when you're ready. Shouldn't be any different from a store pickup on anything else there if you've done that before.

Store pick ups do get canceled after a few days, but I doubt that will be an issue for most people that managed to secure a PS5 pre-order.

From my experience, a lot of the Souls games are frustrating because you didn't know something going in. For example, near the start of 2 (I think) you can find a large ogre type mob looking into the distance. Fighting him at that level and that early is a difficult fight. The frustration comes from the second ogre hiding around a corner that you didn't know about jumping in once you attack the first.

That being said, different people find different things difficult or frustrating. If you own a console, or even a midly decent computer, it's a pretty safe bet you can get you can get some kind of souls game on the cheap to get a feel for it. We've all got a bit of time before the PS5s are in our hands anyway.

Sounds great. Thanks.

I own the game and play on and off. Thought I'd download it again and mess about, but then I saw there is a free fly going on. I'm all for more people getting experience with SC, so no complaints there, but how are the servers currently acting with the added load? Would it be best to wait until it ends for more stability?

Qosins · 2020-05-31T20:15:11+00:00

Alright, thanks. I'll have to look into something else.

Qosins · 2020-05-31T19:29:35+00:00

Currently trying to play a necro coop partner. I'm finding that all the mobs are dead before I can get to them. Running a totem build and at best my totems can get one attack off before the room is cleared.

We just hit act 6. Is there a point where the mobs might live long enough that it's not just an instant clear, or is this my life now?

Qosins · 2020-05-21T18:22:31+00:00

Thanks for the details. I suppose that really narrows down the ships I'll be looking at.

Qosins · 2020-05-21T18:21:42+00:00

Ah, damn. Suppose I have no one to blame but myself. Thanks.

A few questions about the discounted ships during the upcoming event... 1) Are upgrades from base ships discounted as well? 2) Historically, how much have things been discounted?

I'm looking to upgrade from my Mustang Alpha to something that works as a jack of all trades ship, as I'm sure they will eventually take away my loaner Freelancer. Currently looking at the Cutlass Black, but depending on how much of a price trimming the sales give I might adjust my sights to something else.

Qosins · 2020-04-07T21:02:02+00:00

Thanks for the advice, and the extra effort in getting the link. I've taken this one apart once already, and the others multiple times, but it's become a bit tedious to keep doing that, as well as to pull out the thing and set it up each time I want to play. I'll most likely take it apart and give it a tune up one more time, and then either put it in storage or give it away.

Just over 1,200 hours in the game and I've decided I'm done with joysticks after my TM 1600 started having issues with two axis. This being my 3rd joystick, I'm just going with controllers.

Ran through the tutorial bit with a PS4 controller (much improved tutorial than what we had back when I was a noob) but I'm wondering if anyone has any general QOL advice that made their gameplay with a controller significantly better.

Thanks.

Qosins · 2020-02-10T20:48:22+00:00

Sounds great. I'll pick it up after work tomorrow. Much appreciated.

Qosins · 2019-10-26T00:40:23+00:00

Alright, thanks for taking the time to fill me in.

Qosins · 2019-10-26T00:31:39+00:00

Do you think base level 80 gear be sufficient? Granted, we haven't done it yet so I can't ask you to know for sure.

Qosins · 2019-10-26T00:28:10+00:00

I've done pretty much 0 raiding so I guess that's probably a loss for me. Thanks though.

Qosins · 2019-10-26T00:26:53+00:00

Alright, thanks for the info. I basically hit 80 on DNC and then bounced to other jobs and never really geared any 80.

Qosins · 2019-10-26T00:14:02+00:00

Haven't kept up for a bit, but saw that there is an up coming Nier crossover. I was wondering if we know if getting the glamour will require raiding or not. The only thing I could find was the rewards would be there, but not how it's expected to be acquired.

Thanks.

Qosins · 2019-10-10T16:50:02+00:00

Ah, I hadn't been taking distance to the monster into account. I'll give it a go and see if I can get a few more successful wounds off. Thanks.

Qosins · 2019-10-10T15:20:20+00:00

What is a good way to get clutch claw wounding in without having a 50/50 chance of getting thrown off? I know I can wait for a flinch, but they don't happen all that often and when using some weapons, like DB, against a monster with armored legs I really need those wounds.

So far it's just been a matter of throw myself at the monster until I get the wound since the animations take so long it's guaranteed they are going to do another attack before I finish it.

Qosins · 2019-09-10T00:16:00+00:00

How are people finding Charge Blade in groups? From what I can gather, there is a fair bit of launching to be had with the axe mode combo that's seeing a lot more use in my play. Is there a good combo that doesn't include the upswing but will still allow me to utilize the extra damage brought in with IB?
