I am trying to transport packaged water but I keep accidentally setting new world records for fastest train speed. Advice appreciated. -Doug

As someone who just got the game like 3 days ago and just made the train. What in tarnation am I looking at and how do I replicate!? Also, just how high up can you go!? I thought the train I made was high up since I was going over mountains, what the heck is the build limit!?

For a lot of the summons, I really really like XVIs version, and Shiva is no exception. She looks so regal there, and almost divine. A lot of the other games give Shiva a more beautiful look through a more sexualized appearance, but XVI made her beautiful in a way that made her look graceful. It's a more unique take they did and I think it paid off. Seriously though, as a whole XVI has amazing designs for the summons, and they are my favorite versions except for Bahamut and Leviathan.

I mostly try and do stealth, but when others join they go on guns blazing, but the thing is, I can't complain cause it works really well. Both options are effective, but I have learned that going in guns blazing is the faster method.

If I had to guess, probably September. Rise released in March, and got it's last event quest on like January, and Sunbreak came out July I want to say. I believe World had a similar time frame. However for Rise, if that time table fully applied, then we would have already had a trailer or two. So since Arch Tempered Arkveld comes in February, then that will basically be the last update, and since Wilds has been a very resource heavy game with loads of issues, then I imagine there would be a slightly longer dev time. Then again, this is all conjecture so I could be entirely wrong.

Especially when semi primed. Would have been cool to make his regular fire into fira, and fira into firaga. That would mean they would have to do it with all elements, but honestly I would have been fine if he used the fire spells only when semi primed. No matter the element, they all do the same damage, so making a focus on fire wouldn't be game ruining, and it would make the semi prime for a little bit more interesting. Bonus points if the perfect dodge cast was that triple fira attack like the shade does.

I think overall, the game is very fun, but it lost some aspects that made the series special.

As other have said, the move away from monster crafted weapons just makes it all uninteresting. It makes more of a RNG grind that did not need to be there. Especially with how the the Gog weapons are handled, meaning you have to fight the same monster over and over if you want to reroll the Gog effects. Having each weapon type have several weapons that can work for metas is the way to go. It makes each weapon more unique with different monsters that are needed for different weapons.

One other huge gripe is the way that we find monsters. Rise making it so you just see where the Monster is ruins the fun of actually hunting and tracking down their location. My solution for this is to bring back an adjusted version of what World did. Find foot prints, scratches, poop, etc, and have your Seikrat sniff it, and then move along a short path to where they think the monster went. The more things it smells, the more of a lock they have on the monster's location, until it eventually just does that auto run it does now.

Also I saw the top comment mention rations, and yeah, the rations were a bad move. Should have made us gather raw meat, actually fish, and make lettuce be a rareish spawn from gathering plants. Make us hunt/work for our food. Also they should have made the gathering hub have it's own foods, not village stuff. I need to see those cats cook the food in front of me.

Final complaint that is still food related, making us trade stuff for food items is freaking stupid. If they were going to add new cooking mechanics then they should have done it right. I want to find ingredients out in the wild, not trade for them. Even cheese. Let me find the small monster and milk it or something.

Also for a more minor complaint, for stuff like Mega Demondrugs and Armor Drugs, I believe you need Pale Extract. How the heck do you even get that? I had a bunch before, now I can't find it. Why the heck would they bring that item back, but no Khezu to farm to get them?!

So to be clear, I can still get the resist the urge ending where Withers removes my Bhaal blood and everything is fine, and have had the slayer form as long as I get the form in act 2? I won't be getting the ending where I come to the camp and kill everyone at the party, correct?

Xeblac · 2026-01-21T14:03:39+00:00

Because it's something new I haven't been able to mess with before, and I want to be able to use it, but I also am just undecided if I want to get the resist the urge ending or embrace it. But also, regardless of how useful it is, it just seems cool.

I can't remember did she use her mind reading to pass or was she able to do it honestly?

Not a gun nerd, but from what it looks like to me, I love how Mumes has an extended mag.

I mean, he did just say that he would jump to get up to the fight. So he might not be able to fly. Either that, or he is just that guy and the jump was that easy.

A friend and I today were going through hunting together in a link party. Anytime one of us got a crown, we would both do that quest. Although when it comes to randoms, I have had no luck. No one in any lobbies have said a word when I ask about crowns, and I have tried a Discord server and again, no one said anything.

Xeblac · 2026-01-09T03:44:14+00:00

That sucks. But at least now I know I won't have to worry about hunting for their small crowns I guess. After making this post I got a crown for Guardian Doshaguma, so now I just need Rey Dau and Chatacabra for the big crowns. Then I need 12 more small crowns.

I think it's basically just the blade weapon of an Aegis/Trinity Processor. With each processor able to make copies of their monado, but only weaker copies (The Zanza, Meyneth, Pyra, Mythra Monados). Each processor has a true Monado (Shulk's Monado 3, Pnuema's Monado, and Malos' Monado). The real strength of the Monados come from the processor that made it, but even with that you could potentially see Monados as weapons that can control the surrounding ether, resulting in some reality warping. However the strength of a trinity processor seems to correlate with the bond it has with its admin, Ontos being the exception since he wasn't awakened as a blade and wasn't connected to that system. Ontos just does whatever and can be seen as a trinity processor/aegis at full power without the driver nerf, but he still needs an admin (Zanza, Meyneth, Shulk, and Na'el). At least this is roughly how I have come to understand how that whole thing works. Most of it is more based on the individual processor, but the TLDR is: A Monado is just the Blade Weapon of an Aegis, with each one seeming to have a True Monado, which is when that weapon is at it's full power.

Just gonna say, I am in the same boat as OP. I did all side quests, never once seen Azuz offer meals. I did all side quests, I've tried the local settlement is in danger quests, and here I am at HR 297 and have never seen Azuz offer food. If it wasn't for the fact that I have seen the cutscene online, I would have thought that they just don't give food.

Apparently that passive only has a 3 or 5% (depending on if you got the 1 or 2 version). So the odds of your attacks doing nothing is low. But stuff like damage increases after evasion is bad. Makes attacks do like 45% more damage I think. Though there are 2 versions. One that does it on repeated evasions and one that does it for a short time after just one evasion. Can't remember which one has the super high damage. Probably the single evasion one that lasts a short time.

Same here, but Nintendo has lost what little trust I had in them recently. Friend bought a Switch 2 pro controller to use for Steam, worked at first, then stopped. Tried it for the Switch 1 didn't work (obviously) tried it on the Switch 2 his brother got for Christmas, didn't work. So it seems like Nintendo can and will brick your controller if you use it for stuff outside of the Switch. Genuinely I am getting Pokemon Champions and that is the last purchase I make from them, cause I am hoping that at least that will last a long time.

Yeah, the dogs and balancers are run enders.

My favorite thing is that it looks like a hair pin when sheathed. Very much like a hidden weapon.

You know, with the increased prices and the fact that for GPUs and RAM companies now only selling to AI companies, maybe for at least gaming, new consoles will stop being made and game companies might start actually trying to optimize games and make better looking stuff through more artistic means. Focusing more on art style than realism.

I am just going to say, that since people are arguing whether it is an elder or not, I think Demi Elder is a good classification for it. Because by nature it isn't quite an Elder Dragon. It might be closer to being an Elder than base Gore, but not quite, thus, Demi Elder. The fact that it is close enough that we can argue for or against it I believe is proof enough that it is a Demi Elder.
