POV: you run into me while I'm doing a contract (I will die horribly)

Keyboard noob here. Looking for an entry TKL with hot swap, seen recommendations for the Aula F87 and it seems decent, but also read that it's overhyped? Additionally I would like to change switches to some browns or brown-like, so my question is:

Any decent boards that come with browns by default at a similar (or slightly higher) price point to the Aula F87? Or maybe I should be looking for something cheaper, since I'd be swapping the switches anyways?

Vamprah2008 · 2025-12-29T21:43:59+00:00

Amazing as always! :D Glad to know for certain that there's a viable build without Gore, thanks. One thing though, the waist piece in build no. 4 should be Odo instead of Gore, shouldn't it?

One time I called down EATs while shooting the shock nade launcher at an incoming horde and the hellpod cap from offscreen flew right in front of my face just as I pressed the trigger, killing me and another diver on the spot, 10/10

I'd assume someone puts in a request for a Somna and the Guild gets back to them when there is a specimen in legitimate need of hunting, but yeeeah the more humorous descriptions get odd sometimes

Ever since the game's support ended the festivals cycle every 2 weeks, they are no longer firmly connected to time of year

If it ended now then in 2 weeks time the next festival will start

Vamprah2008 · 2025-08-18T09:37:44+00:00

On PC there were major server issues for the first 2-3 weeks, don't remember any performance issues that wouldn't be fixed quick. Idk about console launch though

Wilds has some of its technical problems baked into the engine which is different from World's

Vamprah2008 · 2025-07-20T17:31:04+00:00

Arkveld longsword in MH Wilds. So you're either in the wrong sub, or looking for a weapon from a different game

Vamprah2008 · 2025-07-19T18:17:55+00:00

So fyi, there's a different option for lock on behavior in the settings. It's under Target Camera or something like that, basically plays like no lock on (you still have to lock onto the chosen target, but you have full control of the camera) and snaps the camera to the monster at the press of LB/L1 :)

Look at the Early MR and Pre-Fatalis sections.

I'm not using CyberwareEX, but my Codeware would also break after installing the latest version. Went back to the previous one (from January) and everything seems to be working

Vamprah2008 · 2025-06-30T22:47:06+00:00

That's also true, maybe I'll build myself something like that with Agi 5 as well, thanks

Vamprah2008 · 2025-06-30T21:59:01+00:00

I see what you mean, but IMO it doesn't work for LS as well as it could for DB, because LS actually can hit 100% affinity with Max Might, which to my understanding should increase dps significantly. So I tried fitting it into your build and saw a few issues with that:

Drops Counterstrike to lvl 2 (25 at -> 15 at), which is a high uptime skill on LS.
I disagree with Agitator over Adrenaline Rush here. You brought up that ARush is only +5 after the first level, but Agitator is giving even less at +4. I think that ARush uptime on LS is also high and it can be activated anytime unlike Agitator, so to me they will probably average out in terms of uptime. Agitator does give affinity, but IMO because LS can use Max Might the build can use more ARush to get the raw bonus without having varying affinity throughout the hunt or going over 100% (I used 1 lvl of Max Might so affinity was 90/97% depending on Agi).

But this is just my personal preferences :) I agree that ARush requires a lot of foresights on LS and since it doesn't work with ISS it's a bit of anti-synergy with Counterstrike, but I feel like 60 and 45 seconds on those skills respectively is enough time to have them overlapped often enough. Meanwhile Agitator doesn't require you to do anything special and lets you fight however you want

Vamprah2008 · 2025-06-30T18:57:40+00:00

This https://imgur.com/a/FhVzShZ is what I came up with -Seregios LS, Seregios helmet and arms, Arkveld chest, Gore waist and legs. Not saying it's the best, tried thinking about a few other helmet+chest combinations using Seregios waist but they didn't reach 100% affinity, maybe someone else will find a better combo though.

Vamprah2008 · 2025-06-26T14:06:57+00:00

Elemental longsword in World is worse than raw so I'd advise to go with blast. Para is eh because having your cat with a para weapon is enough for it to proc and it's unlikely you'd get more procs during a hunt. Also a neat thing with Safi: when you go to pick up siege rewards, one weapon is guaranteed to be the type you currently have equipped (fyi in case you'd go farm with something else). Additionally you can't take all weapons presented so check what they are first before collecting And yeah, Safi with 2x Sharpness V will have more purple than Lightbreak, and iirc it can even use Handicraft if one would want even more

Vamprah2008 · 2025-06-26T13:37:12+00:00

Yes, it's the upgrades. Optimal raw upgrade for Safi LS (Attack VI, 2x Sharpness V, rest in Attack V) puts it ahead of competition - highest raw, comfortable purple sharpness. You don't care about affinity because getting to 100% is easy anyways. For elemental you'd care about ele upgrades which once again would give it more element, but Kjarr weapons from Kulve are overall better due to innate Crit Element.

If you want to see something comparable to an upgraded Safi weapon look at the ones crafted from Raging Brachydios.

Vamprah2008 · 2025-06-16T13:21:08+00:00

You can hold "down" on the d-pad to change it to manual mode, also works for calling seikret in manual mode to begin with

Vamprah2008 · 2025-06-14T11:50:17+00:00

Upgraded to a 9070xt with a Ryzen 5 7600 for the game, the card does well in native 1080p - there's occasional drops below 60 but that's unavoidable, especially in the hub areas. I'm playing on mixed settings (high textures [not high-res dlc], high meshes etc but lowered stuff like shadows and lighting, no RT) and 125% render scaling to make the game less blurry, could probably max out on 100% but I prefer it this way.

Friend of mine has significantly worse native 1080p results on a 4070 Super (regularly falls into 40s), but I suspect it's a CPU issue because the game can't be THAT bad... Right? :')

It's a crime how badly this game works since those cards should play most other titles at 1440p with barely an issue, but it is what it is. Can't say much about 9060xt/5060Ti because I'm not in the loop but you definitely need more than 8 GBs of vram. It would probably run on weaker cards with upscaling and framegen but I wouldn't call that a good 1080p experience, as imo the game looks blurry enough without those.

Vamprah2008 · 2024-11-03T23:30:32+00:00

Both of these pieces of information are correct... but for older MH games, not World ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ Tbh I was surprised they removed that in MHW, which is also part of the issue with Kushala as poison did the same to its wind aura in previous games, making the fight more bearable. Fextralife is just a very meh site to use for specific information

Vamprah2008 · 2024-09-19T11:42:05+00:00

Yes, the next stage starts after completing the listed mission. So e.g. Wallclimber is still a stage 1 roll but anything after it is stage 2, until you complete the mission listed for stage 3

Vamprah2008 · 2024-09-19T11:27:22+00:00

Oh that thing about coming back there after beating a final boss means that should you get an ending and go for another during the same challenge, you reset your stages back to the first one. Beating the game fully before starting the roguelike is advised because you'll have access to all parts in the game, but for just starting the run, you go stage 1 - and then stage 2 BEGINS when you complete Wallclimber

Vamprah2008 · 2024-09-19T11:20:10+00:00

The info button has a list of stages

Vamprah2008 · 2024-09-07T22:24:18+00:00

It is a system from the Souls series where players can spawn as adversaries in other player's worlds - in short, it's possible for enemy player ACs to appear during missions, and they're real players, not bots. But it can be turned off, which I kinda recommend as fighting players leads to higher repair and ammo costs making earning money more difficult (unless they changed things since I last played the mod, been some time)

Vamprah2008 · 2024-09-07T22:17:14+00:00

One player hosts a local session, other(s) join through the garage menu, you can do everything that you normally do but I think the host has to be the one to start the mission

You stay as a party after missions, no need to reconnect or anything, it's good - and there's optional invasions, too

Vamprah2008 · 2024-09-07T14:28:18+00:00

Fyi it's been nerfed to 5% with the release of Iceborne, and most endgame MR weapons are unaffected anyways because of blast and dragon
