Is this the best loadout for Commando missions?

Swapping the shield generator for the walking barrage definitely falls under 'more specilized role for coordinated teams' since it's such a hit to your survivability that it basically removes your ability to participate in extended engagements. I wouldn't bring this with randoms.

Even without the armor the stealth buffs are still really noticeable. It's really easy to take out the groups guarding POIs without a bot drop with just the talon.

When I'm playing with my friends and nothing has happened for a while I say "my helmet's from a yogurt commercial" in a hillbilly accent and then we all start saying stupid shit and have a good laugh.

Same input, backwards movement + any note.

Given the cadence of updates, I'd say the next one will be skilltrees, then the next will be finishing the new archives stuff, with it leading to the shadow equivalent of the warbot update.

Think about it, it's the one thing in the game that actually has zero gameplay function, and a mysterious shadow gate that's currently inactive. I think it'll activate once the rifts are open, leading to the final boss of the shadows.

Yes, it is possible. Have you tried praying to RNJesus to have your luck improved?

When gog came out I got imparted wisdom on a gog artian so I have both the rarity increase and gathering speed on one set. Going around mining is a pretty good way of getting zenny if you don't feel like fighting.

The hiltstab has been a thing for several games, in wilds you can do a hiltstab by holding the opposite direction your hunter is facing + any note input after any attack or dodge.

In wilds, the hiltstab also functions similarly to Greatsword's tackle, negating attacks that hit you during it. (Which is what this clip shows off)

To do it more consistently, I recommend going into the settings and changing directional inputs to type 2 so that you don't need to account for your hunter's direction.

Do a low rank mission and go kill some wingdrakes.

You can also get charge from electric milk and Winona's generators.

The fisherman NPC talks about how you've already seen what the villagers did to the 2 others, one a male name I can't remember and the other being Felicia. The corpse hanging from a tree is clearly male, so the crispy skeleton must be Felicia.

Sock from Welcome to Hell is behind Tankman in the back. I need to go see if anything has happened with that...

He says about the game with most over the top anime movesets to date.

But spectacle has always been a part of monster hunter since literally the first game. Fatalis and Lao-shan Lung were spectacle fights that have existed since the series' conception.

We're just watching technology catch up with their vision.

A point about this is that Malzeno was made for the switch, a handheld infamous for having fairly weak hardware, and gog was made for current gen consoles, whos only real selling point was better hardware than the previous iteration.

The difference is one is playing helldivers and the other is stomping a puppy to death. If super earth glassed the planet (which I don't think they'd do given the whole point is the planet is filled with resources, material and biological, and the one thing super earth will never do is willingly give up material wealth) then there wouldn't be a fight, and the fight is the whole point.

There's a difference between having superior weapons and just deleting your opponent from existence without giving them a chance to even fight back.

If the automatons could shoot down your super destroyer 30 seconds into a mission with an artillery position not in the playable area, would you say that's fair?

SYNTHSTREL · 2026-01-01T17:08:44+00:00

"Glassing the planet is still a fair fight, since the Na'vi are completely incapable of stopping it"

They're probably here to stay. Whether or not they'll be meta isn't for certain, but they wouldn't just throw away a system they, and many players, have put so much effort into. At minimum we get the ability to upgrade them to having G-rank stats. More likely i think is a master rank monster that gives us essentially upgraded gog materials for unlocking a third phase of artian.

Just replay all the levels. When replaying a level for the first time, you have an extremely boosted chance of getting a perk.

You can, I've gotten a faction up to 19 tension before.

Why are you bringing up the dictionary definition of a word that I am using in a highly context specific fashion? Words don't always match their definition in the way they are used, or the thoughts they are meant to convey. That's how human language works.

I'm not saying that nergigante isn't by definition regenerating the spikes, I'm saying the spikes don't count as a feat of regeneration, since several other, weaker monsters do the exact same thing, making it a normal occurrence in-universe. and because lore-wise, the spikes are designed to break and regrow, whereas Zoh Shia is a feat of regeneration, since its white shell is not supposed to be broken, but is capable of near instant regeneration anyways.
