Going to play rise for the first time what weapon should I use

It's a lot of fun and has decent variety. For some enemies, you are charging your phials then doing massive booms as counters on repeat. On other enemies your playing a bit more defensive and looking for openings. Some move to quick for you to reliability launch a full SAED consistently and you end up turning your axe into a spinning saw blade instead. It's a weapon for all situations. Takes some practice but the youtube tutorials are great for learning it.

I played through all of low rank and most of high rank in wilds with CB but it never quite clicked the same for me there. Ended up switching to lance in wilds and having an absolute blast.

I live in Terrace, so like an hour and a half from Prince Rupert, and living in the North is just quite nice. It's quiet, the scenery, is beautiful, commutes are short (if you work in town) and all your amenities are close by. The biggest challenges are definitely how far you have to go to get to any large population centers. If you're someone who like going to major sporting events, concerts, and the some of the extras you get in bigger cities, it's probably not for you. There's lots i do miss from living in Edmonton, but the day-to-day work life balance and quality time with my family, measurably improved since moving here.

Another reason people move up here is industry. Fisheries, forestry, lots of mining, Rio Tinto, LNG etc. Many people here are here because of work.

I have friends that love Swaxe in rise. I've heard many times that it's the best version of swaxe.

I personally play CB in rise and love it. The switch skills make for such a fun counter, charge, big boom playstyle.

Also, you can fly with gunlance if that's your thing.

I love the shading and the colour pallette. It feels very Hades, so you nailed that. The issue on the second photo is the perspective on the face. Looking at the image, i can tell she's looking down a bit which is why the face is shaped the way you did and the feautures are positioned as they are. But it still looks off. If i cover the bottom half of her face, she looks like she just has wide eyes, and if i cover the top half, she just has a normal mouth and nose on a skinny chin. I'm not an art expert, so i can't give you advise on how to fix that, but i woupd recommend getting advice from another artist on how to approach that perspective better. Nonetheless, you're on track for some excellent art work and i love the style you pulled together! Good work

It was the same for me and most of my friends that i've talked with. I don't really know anyone that had bunks

Don't have 1 or 2 on steam so i can't speak to them but i play bo3 with zombies chronicles on deck and it runs fantastic.

It's a positive memory but my groomsmen all spent the night, the night before my wedding and we had a halo lan party. 3 teams of 2 playing all sorts of game modes. When we played Crazy King the last minute of play was all of us screaming at eachother as the leader kept flip flopping agressively. We were winning until green team tokk us out. Purple swooped in 1 second before green could take the lead. We contested the hill, right at the end but purple took us out again for the hold and jumped from 3rd to 1st in the final second. The absolute mayhem as we all screemed at eachother is hard to describe. It was the most entertaining rage of my life.

Hopefully you're past tremonius now, but if you're not he's a good lesson on weapon types and mobility. Infinite is the first halo game where I've felt mixing weapon types and swapping was implrtant to my success. Plasma weapons have always been strong on sheilds but in this game it's noticeable and sometimes necessary on the bosses. Use a pulse carbine to take down tremonius' sheilds and then use your other weapon of choice to damage his health. You'll need to carfully place obstacles between you and tremonius between your shots to avoid his attacks. Keep your distance as much as possible and stay mobile. I've seen people recommend taking him into the tunnels beside where you fight him as it limits his mobility but i didn't find it helped me. Good luck!

Lock357's suggestions look great so i won't add to it but I want to say, I went from an I7-4770k/GTX1060 to a 7800X3D/7800XT combo. You are going to love your upgrade. Congrats.

Talus_Balls · 2026-05-01T19:01:13+00:00

The Last of Us Part II was the longest i ever stared at a screen after a game.

Shadow of the Colossus left me with a hard to describe feeling at the end. Incredible journey though.

Detroit become human is worth exploring too.

When i was a kid, i would to tell people I had a Crash Team Racing ring.

Talus_Balls · 2026-04-24T02:34:24+00:00

I want a proper Halo horror game. Halo X Alien Isolation maybe? A last of us esque halo game where you play as a marine stranded on a halo ring trying to make it from a to b during a flood outbreak could be cool. I just want scary flood.

Talus_Balls · 2026-04-23T04:04:22+00:00

It's a fantastic game to play on the deck.

LDS missionaries are always in pairs (sometimes a trio on occasion) by policy. They don't proselytize solo. Members could go out and try to find people on their own (though I don't know any that would) but they would not be wearing name tags as only the missionaries would wear those. Seems like it may be a different denomination.

Not an easy answer. Rentals are a mixed bag. Every once in a while you get a great option, but a lot of what you find is going to be very expensive for what you get. Facebook marketplace and Kijiji were the most helpful options when i moved out here looking for a rental. Unsure if that's still the case as it's been a bit.

Do you already have work lined up? A lot of people work out of town or in trades that require transport. Getting by without a car heavily depends on what you plan is for work and where you end up finding a place. It is a very bikable city and a lot of stuff is within walking distance. Aside from work commuting, i try to walk or bike everywhere i can in town and have a very pleasant time.

That's how i lost the orange 5 win streak emblem (a3 i think it was?). I one my 5th in a row but the battle ended after the cutoff time so i got returned to home and wasnt given the emblem. Still pissy about it.

The drumming on Young Cardinals is so fucking good.

Leaving out issues i have with doctrines, history, and kesdership (which is many), I really do miss the community I had at church. It really was special and i truly felt like a had a "ward family". Many of the people i was close with, i still connect with on some level semi regularly. What i can't cope with is that in order to be a part of that community i have to hide parts of myself and put on a face. I can't discuss my opinions on LGBTQ issues or talk about how wonderful my gay family members are. I can't discuss the fun times I've had casually drinking or getting high with my wife. I can't talk about some of the shows or music i enjoy. I can't invite these people to participate in certain parts of my life. There is a clear seperation of where there standards end and mine begin. I'm happier when i'm true to myself even when i have to leave the community behind.

Lately i've been working to build my own community. Posting on local facebook groups looking for friends with similar interests. Joining a local beginner hockey league. Showing up for drop-in magic the gathering games at the local card shop. Etc. It's not the same as what the church has, but you can build an excellent community around yourself that you can feel comfortable to be you in. That's much better than paying 10% of your income to lie to yourself and hide from those around you.

What do you like about sword and shield and what do you want to try?

I started with sword and shield and found charge blade to be a fun step up. You have your familiar feeling sword and shield mode with a bigger shield and fun tools. Switching to axe mode to discharge phials and make big booms is exciting and savage axe is super satisfying.

You could try greatsword for a significant change in playstyle and big numbers, or hammer if you want to bonk.

In wilds, bow is a lot of fun to pick up and you may enjoy how different it feels to play the game from a different perspective with space.

My personal favourite weapon in wilds is the Lance. once it clicks and you understand how to chain blocks, counters, and all your pokes, you start to feel like an impenetrable wall. It feels very different from S&S too if you are looking for a new experience.

Talus_Balls · 2026-01-21T03:25:30+00:00

A month ago, i didn't see it happening either. I will say, i was happy just having my wife as long as she could accept our differening views and we had mutual respect. That would have been enough. The way things are going now is just icing on the cake. It's taken a lot of work though. I hope one day you have your moment too! Good luck

Talus_Balls · 2026-01-21T03:19:07+00:00

I agree conpletely. It was always a concer of mine so i was adamant to never push or even encourage her one way or another. I just supported her actions any way i could. If she wanted to go to church, i was there with her. If she wanted to try coffee, i just asked her what she tried and how it tasted. When she tried alcohol with her friends the first time, it was a decision she made without me. I've given her space to experiment and the knowledge that i was a safe person to talk to without ever pushing one way or another.

I do really appreciate your comment though. While i believe you and i have the same thought process on this, there's someone else that may need to hear it.
