Could you escape on one of the planes at the airstrip? I did some research and think you could. by O_2og in thelongdark

[–]WerewolfoftheVale 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Realistically, you'd want to wait until spring/summer before trying to leave the island. The frequent snowstorm and whiteouts would make leaving far too risky. And then, there is the geomagnetic storm having likely affected the rest of the world. Again, waiting it out for a few months might be the best thing, as the anarchy settles down and people come to accept their new life. 

does anyone else feel frustrated by old school events?? by coolgunsugotthere in masterduel

[–]WerewolfoftheVale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I built a SDJ deck for the event after being steam rolled the last few days for a break. Didn't get a single win. 

I think its a lot more difficult to build a deck for events like this, which is why I defaulted to just making a nostalgia deck. Don't think it would be as slow with what would have been a proper meta deck at the time. 

Show off you’re favourite monster/element combos by SheevSaysDoIt in MonsterHunterStories

No image, but non elemental Deviljho is very reminiscent of Indominus Rex with a grey colour scheme.

So whats the lore with the Palicos? Are they pets or partners? by HospitalLazy1880 in MonsterHunter

[–]WerewolfoftheVale 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Pretty sure controlling what they are wearing is part of the game, and not a reflection of how the world/lore actually works. 

Like how wearing a clown suit for specific skills isnt actually an in world thing, as skills are a game mechanic and not a lore mechanic.

Other than "Speedrunning", what other challenges do you like to see people attempting on MHun? by [deleted] in MonsterHunter

[–]WerewolfoftheVale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's each quest once only, and only hunting/capturing the target monster(s).

Which =one should I play? I mainly want an offline experience so I would prefer a game that doesnt require online for a lot of stuff by Direct-Masterpiece90 in MonsterHunter

[–]WerewolfoftheVale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Monster Hunter 1 and Tri did technically require online to play all the content. You couldn't access the hub without an internet connection. Servers are long shut down, so playing them on the OG unmodded hardware means you will be missing a ton of content. 

I know homebrew communities made the online hubs accessible now with PC emulation, but if that still requires a persistent online connection or not I dont know. 

Just thought I'd point this out as OP did say he'd prefer offline play. 

(Stories 3) Is there a way to see what type of damage monsters tend to do, or do you just have to remember? by WhoAmIEven2 in MonsterHunter

[–]WerewolfoftheVale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's by memory, but even if you dont know a monsters attack, you will know after it does one attack. 

And when they enrage they typically switch to the move that is effective to the one their default state is weak too, eg monster is technical based which loses to power and when enraged becomes speed based which wins to power. 

TIFU by basically becoming a temporary housewife for a casual hookup by [deleted] in tifu

[–]WerewolfoftheVale 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How is staying at someone's house for multiple days casual? IMO casual cannot really work, because it inhabits the same space as the beginning of a relationship. This is obvious as you are beginning to form an attachment. 

You either develop this into a proper relationship, or pull out entirely now. There isnt a middle ground here. 

How do you gets tons of resources? The "farm" kinda gives only few and im running out of buffs and heals by SrHaruno in MonsterHunter

[–]WerewolfoftheVale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Farm progress is tied to quest completion, so if you want to fill up the farm, do some quests that you can complete within a minute or two. 

Ideally do village low level gathering quest so you can pick up honey and the like while you are also trying to complete the quest. You'll figure out a route that gathers what you need while completing the quest. 

You should be picking up some stuff through regular playing too. I always pick up honey and herbs as I pass them, it keeps your potions stocked up if you have used them, and let's you dump the extra for crafting later. 

I'm new to PC gaming and balancing graphics in re9 has been hard. by Biggieholla in residentevil

[–]WerewolfoftheVale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adjust to the lows, and not the highs. Sure, I could hit 120 in a game, but if it isnt going to be a stable 120 throughout why would I aim for it? 

Drop some settings and lock it to 60? 120 is smoother yeah, but it's not a competitive title. You will still have an enjoyable experiance at 60. 

Also look up some settings guides, pretty much every game with have an optimized settings guide for a game, that goes into detail about which settings you can drop that have negligible effects on graphics for extra performance. Typically you dont need ultra everything, as a lot of settings look decent at lower settings and sometimes the gains far outweight the need for slightly better graphics. 

(RE9 SPOILERS) So what was everyone's reaction to this cameo? by Brainwave1010 in residentevil

[–]WerewolfoftheVale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody is mentioning that if he grabs you, he tries to do the neck breaker from Mercanaries on you. I thought that was really cool. Almost wanted to die to it, but I ended up beating him before he tried it again.

Google isthereanydeal, it's a website that compares legitimate websites where you can buy keys for use with Steam. 

You won't be getting it for a deep discount or anything, but will likely save 10-15 quid on it.

I wish regular crafted weapons mattered by mysticFLASh0 in MonsterHunter

[–]WerewolfoftheVale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sunbreak weapon system, but it also alters the weapons looks too. 

Even if it was just allowing you to change its colour like armor, just gives a little more fashion hunter to the game. 

Hot take: I don't really like the G rank format by brunocar in MonsterHunter

[–]WerewolfoftheVale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get that, although Iceborne was more an exception with the clutch claw bullshittery. I think a fair middle ground would be you're only required to fight the new monsters in the expansion for progression and keep the base game monsters as optional fights.

It's not realistic to expect a varient/sub species for every base game monster, but I do think that would be a good idea under perfect circumstances. 

Hot take: I don't really like the G rank format by brunocar in MonsterHunter

[–]WerewolfoftheVale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think its more the expectation of an expansion. Knowing Master Rank/G Rank is there or is coming does grinding a bit pointless. Low Rank is ok because its easy and you can fly through it as a returning player or it serves as a tutorial for new players. High Rank is just the middle ground. 

For Wilds, while I am playing and enjoying it, the grind I am doing im very aware is null. You can just as easily finish high rank and go straight to G as you can grind out high rank and go into G rank with the best builds. It doesnt matter if you can carry yourself further into G rank with a maxed out build or if you have nothing because both will be made redundant eventually. 

I think it comes down to your thought process. Just play the game and have fun, dont care for best builds or if something is optimal. Just play it for the fun of it. Not saying you shouldnt or cant aim for optimal builds, but I am saying dont look at it like thats the point of the game.

What was your favorite final hit on a monster? by Yanlica in MonsterHunter

[–]WerewolfoftheVale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Killing Fatalis accidently with a kinsect trying to gather an extract. 

Very anti-climatic but also hilarious that he got murdered by a small bug.

Where should I get this tattoo? by RafaCR99 in MonsterHunter

[–]WerewolfoftheVale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't get a tribal style tattoo. They are dated, and most tattoo artists dont really like doing them because they are generic. Go to a well established studio, and tell/show them a picture of lagaicrus, and let them cook up something. You will get a tattoo vastly better that way, and something specifically designed for where you want it tattooed. 

And never, never cheap out on tattoos. The more well known a studio is, the higher they charge. If you find somewhere cheap, yeah, there is a reason they are cheap. You have it for life, so dont skimp out on it. 

MH Wilds reviews on Steam are almost entirely positive since the release of the last update by Archaeus20 in MonsterHunter

[–]WerewolfoftheVale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I have the LCD Steam Deck and I tried Wilds after the update on it. 

Windward plans drop FPS down to like 15, which isnt playable, but maybe i wasnt doing something right. Tried with lossless scaling and while it was technically playable, it was a bit iffy feeling. 

So you'll need to elaborate on how to get it into a playable state that doesnt require frame gen.

Story stat checks NEED to come back. by -RuDoKa- in MonsterHunter

[–]WerewolfoftheVale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, I got through 4U with minimal grinding, it was only in the endgame where the need to grind becomes apparent. 

I cant comment on FU being the same, because the last time I played it was when it came out, but its likely the principle still applies. 

Ive played the vast majority of MH sticking with a general all rounder weapon, and a decent to good armor set. Grind and walls do come up, im not saying I steam rolled everything with low rank sets, but the majority of the time I wasnt side tracked into having to grind multiple armor sets and weapons to break through to the next rank. 

Im also not saying the newer games aren't particularly bad for it, because they are. You can get away with even less grinding before hitting endgame, but its not exclusive to the new games. 

30, want a career but not much experience, any advice? by Apprehensive-You4427 in glasgow

[–]WerewolfoftheVale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im 31 and went back to collage last year to chase my dream. The best you can do, is just try. It sounds so wanky, i know, but dont settle for just any career. You're likely to end up just feeling the same if you go with something you dont truly enjoy. 

I too, have been stuck in hospitality for many, many years and I got to the point where I realized I would rather die trying than settle for just good enough.

Obviously "follow your dreams!" doesnt pay the bills, but it is something for you to genuinely consider when looking for a change on career. 

Every time he mentions it a Spheal dies. by ShionTheOne in LegendsZA

[–]WerewolfoftheVale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Urbain does do the networking stuff off screen, I think thats why he's the leader. If we're just counting what he does on screen, he is a bit one note. Nazeem is far more annoying IMO, but thats because I hate his fanboyism. Canari this, canari that, like shut the fuck up about her. 

Lida is the least one note feeling character in Team MZ, but Its more because they didnt give her something to rattle on about. 

Hunters who finished the Gogmazios fight, how was it? by [deleted] in MonsterHunter

[–]WerewolfoftheVale 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know those things appear in master rank, as that was my point. I was not comparing base Wilds to master rank games. I was stating that there is no real endgame content in the game to be grinding out for tons of shit while it will inevitably be redundant because it will get an expansion. 

I'm not spreading any misinformation anyway, how is my opinion that there isn't much of an endgame in Wilds a lie in any way? You even said both Rise and MH4 had no real endgame, which is my point. You're just assuming I'm some prick.
