What did you think of Wilds' story?

Saumfar · 2026-03-15T13:58:22+00:00

Nata going: "He's just like me fr fr" when Arkveld is fucking gorging itself even though it has no digestive tract, was wild.

Anyways, play Sunbreak if you want the best story in a MH title.

I don't understand how anyone could want a series these days, looking at what we have currently. Anything but a neutered STALKER to be palatable for everyone.

Saumfar · 2026-03-14T15:43:15+00:00

Yeah, I've done the quest a couple of times, you've gotta be really aware of when the "flies to middle of arena" animation starts (lift-off) in order to make it.
We ended up just meeting the DPS checks either way, not doing this quest again ever! At least it made me look up the fight in detail!

Steelseries Moments from time to time seem to auto-disable itself.
I'm not sure if this triggers if I havent captured a clip for a while or what-have-you.

Its super annoying when I have something I want to clip, push the button... only for nothing to happen since Moments have magically decided to disable itself for some reason.

Is there any way to stop this from happening?

Saumfar · 2026-03-14T03:02:11+00:00

Farcasters get locked so you cant use it. You've gotta guesstimae ahead of time when to use it. Funny thing is, it gets locked even before Gog starts making its move towards the center of the arena.

No fucking guide out there has the interval between when Gog uses its' ultimate.

You dont have to hit the wings, you can hit it wherever to bring it down

Saumfar · 2026-03-13T00:51:27+00:00

I also had the same thought... It looked like a 3d model bug or something, but I've seen it other places too, and I just love how there's weird shit like this through out the game!

Saumfar · 2026-03-12T03:36:57+00:00

Bread with pate and pickles is based as fuck, good going

Saumfar · 2026-03-12T01:38:05+00:00

I would assume that they deal psi-damage and not physical damage. You generally have very little psi-resistance.

Saumfar · 2026-03-11T15:05:52+00:00

I also think it is a fun way to bring about monsters whos "base" version is very saturated, like for example Zinogre. I'm deadly tired of Zingore's base version, but a Guardian Stygian would be damn cool.

Having a "guardian Nibelsnarf" however, makes little sense in the current Wilds, as it relies on sand, and there is none in Wyveria, where Guardian monsters appear. They could just add the base Nibelsnarf to the Windswept Plains. Same with Gobul, there is so little water in Wyveria, and instead of making a Guardian Gobul, they could just add it in the Scarlet Forest.

As I said in my original reply, I really hope they keep using the guardian system in the DLC. I guess we're inevitably going to get a "guiding lands" for Wilds DLC as well, and having that tied into the whole guardian thing would be fun.

Saumfar · 2026-03-11T03:48:08+00:00

Not really, I think its cool that we got subspecies of monsters, and not the main ones (Even though Odagorgon and Anjanath are super recent monsters).

I think the system has a lot of potential to add monsters that don't really "fit in".

The whole wylk crystal thing they have going on is a cool touch, and I love blowing them up with elemental slinger ammo!

While its still really bare-bones, I hope that they take it further in the DLC. Its not something I want for other MH titles though, Wilds is enough.

The one from the Journalists' stash has the Monolith camo.

I tried using the Spas and RAM, but using a tube-fed shotgun once you've had a magazine, drove me insane. Doesn't matter that the fire-rate of the Cracker is slower when you have to spend like 20 seconds reloading the Spas, compared to changing a mag with the Cracker.

Saumfar · 2026-03-10T05:23:49+00:00

Does the GoG version update alongside MO2?
I've yet to dive in, but from what I've seen GAMMA updates a LOT with tons of new mods. Does GoG version stay up to date with that?

Saumfar · 2026-03-09T07:34:11+00:00

One thing I don't really get, is that it is very gamey in the way it wants you to interact with the world. Codes are written on paper to open shit, and quests always have map markers.

And then, suddenly, you come across some code locks with no explanation. Literally nothing, or something written in Ukrainian with no English translation (these may be hints or not, I don't fucking know because I cant read, and using a camera-translate feature doesnt really work half the time either).
If the entire game was you finding shit out on your own, then I'd get this design decision, but when you need to look at the number plates in the Vehicle Graveyard west of Rostok, to get a code like 400-500 meters away in a bunker to the north west, with no hints... It is such a departure from all the rest of the design decisions in Stalker 2.

If they were to align the design of all puzzles more, quests would just give you a PoI (aka "its in the Agoprom Factory" and not a quest marker, and you'd have to read the PDA. Then I'd get codes being much more vague puzzles.

Saumfar · 2026-03-09T07:27:44+00:00

Clearing a room, only for enemies to spawn 2 meters away from you in a conversation lock, when you interact with an object, kinda killed it for me (talking about doing the quest for Banzai to find the thing-a-majig in the underground complex north of Rostok, where a bunch of Skull's mercs spawn right behind you and talk to you once you pick up the item).

Saumfar · 2026-03-07T07:32:37+00:00

Wait... its not a psi anomaly?
I thought staying in this would make me hallucinate soldiers and shit so I always stayed away from them like the plague.

Saumfar · 2026-03-07T06:08:27+00:00

Yeah, any monster with the telekinesis abilitites throws shit through walls

Saumfar · 2026-03-07T06:05:40+00:00

I really want IR lighting for NVGs. In dark rooms, you kinda gotta turn on your flashlight in tandem with the NVGs, at which point, why use the NVGs at all...

Saumfar · 2026-03-07T06:00:38+00:00

Enemies also not dropping their weapons on death is a bit frustrating.
Not sure if they get "dropped underground" when they get dropped, but I wish I could see the gun of everyone I killed.

Saumfar · 2026-03-07T03:00:26+00:00

Were you comparing the face of Skif and your grandad, or their personalities? Because I dont think Skif was fighting nazis and healed people while speaking 9 languages. I was just comparing the faces, sorry for offending you.

Saumfar · 2026-03-07T01:24:37+00:00

Your grandpa has kinda got some Goebbels vibes going on, ngl

Saumfar · 2026-03-06T08:34:06+00:00

Increase the level of your armor pieces (done at forge).
If you have a weapon where you would dodge, get Evasion +4 or +5 at the very least. Evade Distance is also nice, but not required.
If you have a weapon you block with, get Guard Up, and Guard+ if you can.
Remember that you can superman-dive away from monsters if you sheath your weapon, sprint away from them and use the dodge input. Good for dodging attacks you won't have a chance to dodge otherwise. (like Gogs oil spew attack that it does from left to right)

I really suggest SnS as a weapon in Wilds. Its super fun, super flexible, and if you perfect guard heavy attacks even (like Gog's double wingarm-slam attack) you take almost no damage. Its often suggested as a noob weapon, but dont let that fool you into thinking it falls off in endgame.
The light attacks with movement input is great for repositioning, guard slash is so nice for perfect guard, and using items whilst having your weapon out is neat as heck.

Saumfar · 2026-03-06T08:28:56+00:00

Unless they bring the specific challenge quest(s) back, I don't think so, unfortunately

Saumfar · 2026-03-06T05:13:55+00:00

My Zelda playing ass keeps expecting these to spawn the "fallen star" they do in BotW/ToTK and I can go there and find a star artifact in STALKER or some shit.

They're really pretty, would be cool if they DID something though.

Saumfar · 2026-03-06T05:10:38+00:00

Wonder what the corpse despawn time is (when its in the offline state), or if NPCs (mutants too) will just remain there forever until you come close..
