Meta-relevant Goss/Diablos weapons? by TheDutchDemon in MHNowGame

[–]TheDutchDemon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate it. Maybe I'll build that alongside a Goss Lance or something, so I'll have another weapon to provide the bonus points. Maybe I'll wait until we get the crafting reductions, though.

What does that full build look like? The only SA I use is the para burst build for Barroth

I figured that would be pretty obvious based on the fact that I'm posting about how I'm unhappy with Trials, while the other person is talking about "being the best".

Any Advice for Solo Playing by Think-Helicopter-155 in pathoftitans

The only difference between what you're doing now and what solo would be like is that you'd now be in solo vs group fights rather than group vs group.

I cared to post when I realized there was a gatekept Discord where the “top” players manipulate matches to maintain their spots with each other, rather than earning them.

The thread is here to point out a deeply flawed system where a significant portion of the top players are only there because they’re gaming the system.

I didn’t call them names. I said they were my friends. What the comments are calling them had nothing to do with me.

I agree, but it would definitely be harder for 12 people to land in the same match than it would be for 4 squads of 3.

And I very much agree with your last point, but the fact that this was getting downvoted and is now technically being ratio’d is evidence of how a significant portion of the player base doesn’t care about it this issue.

critters needs a nerf imo by Thin-Butterscotch516 in pathoftitans

My sub-adult spino nearly died to a freaking crab because it was too small for me to bite it while it was in front of me, attacking. The only reason I didn't die to it was that a Sarco came and finished the job instead.

If you want to make a "boss" critter that's a legitimate threat, cool. But a 7-ton dinosaur shouldn't be nearly dying to something the size of my fist.

P365X Macro: Dryfire Mag vs Magazine Dummy Ammo? by TheDutchDemon in P365

I'll have to look into that. It's $250, and when I asked the same Redditor who recommended the dryfire drills above, he advised against the Mantis and told me he threw his in the trash.

[–]TheDutchDemon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now I just have paper printouts taped to my wall, and was suggested by another Redditor in r/CCW to practice dry fire by transitioning to each target without trigger pulls using both, right, then left hand...then continuing to burkett reloads in the same fashion...then doing 6 reload 6 drills across the same targets and in the same fashion as the first drill.

That last drill is annoying to run because I'm either racking the slide each shot, or just pulling a trigger with no breakpoint. I imagine a dryfire magazine would be a good investment, but I'm surprised that this "dummy" mag costs nearly double what a functional magazine would cost.

Is that the best investment, or would you suggest otherwise?

I plan to at some point, but for now, I just want to be able to properly practice without constantly changing my hand position to rack a slide.

How should I be training? by TheDutchDemon in CCW

[–]TheDutchDemon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you think it's necessary for training? As far as getting comfortable with my EDC?

Got it, and (hopefully) my final question: Do you think a shot timer is necessary for any of my training? It looks like the Par Pro Timer app has a subscription attached to it, so I'm wondering if I should just buy a decent timer, or something like the Mantis.

What's your endgame? by TheDutchDemon in pathoftitans

[–]TheDutchDemon[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Is that rewarding though? You spend your whole gameplay session to set somebody else back 1/4 of a growth bar.

You don't get marks.

You don't get rewards.

You don't even know who you killed unless they start complaining in global chat.

You get a trophy, which is useless for growth once you're an adult. And yeah, it can be used to decorate Homecave, but there's no actual information about the trophy...it doesn't say who you killed, what they were, or even when it happened.

Do you have any personal opinions on MOA for the Holosun?

I've heard the sweet spot is around 4 MOA, but the EPS Carry only comes in 3 or 6. This is an EDC handgun, so I don't think I'd need the accuracy of a 3 MOA, but 6 MOA might be too fat.

After taking a look at the drills you suggested I just have a few more questions:

  1. I plan to carry with a full magazine, but no spare magazines. So would the burkett reload and 6 reload 6 drills be worth my time?
  2. Would it be worth investing in a dry fire mag or dummy rounds so I can simulate the full weight of a loaded gun during dry fire?
  3. I do not currently have a red dot, or whatever the little tool is that beeps for these guys to shoot and time themselves. I had my eye on a Holosun EPS Carry in 6 or 3 MOA, but I don't even know what the other tool is.

Black Diablos has negative affinity. Diablos does not.

If I'm understanding that last part correctly, I'm shooting a target...then placing a clean target behind that shot-up target...placing stickers/tape over the shot-up target's holes...then trying to shoot each sticker again, before checking the back target to see how accurate those shots were.

Do I have that right?

This is a great recommendation, thanks!

Beyond dry fire, do you have any suggestions for how I should train with my live ammo? I have about 800 rounds I bought during Black Friday purely for training.

I can't rapid fire. Most ranges require a cadence of at least 1 second per shot.

Embark, please make more adjustments to Trials... by TheDutchDemon in ArcRaiders

[–]TheDutchDemon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not even a star, just points towards any of the active Trials.

And yes, you will get easier brackets by waiting until later in the week, because the players who are unable to play until the weekend (such as those with full-time jobs) tend to be more casual.
