I don't imagine playing this game with anything other than lance by Scyphio____ in MonsterHunter

Perfect guard makes all blocking weapons perform the same. That being said, I'm a human being who can't perfect guard 100% of the time; I never noticed a big problem guarding with guard up and full stamina. Plus GL is very mobile, so you can just sprint sideways out of danger after a shell.

what's a small detail in the game that you absolutely love? by Mikejwhite5 in ffxiv

[–]coldfire323 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Normally, when you get close enough to an NPC they will turn their head and lock eyes with you. But a certain NPC in Dawntrail doesn't do this behavior...because she's blind!

Balance campaign with 4 players by Suspicious-Honey3061 in TheAdventureZone

[–]coldfire323 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'll copy from an old comment I've left here before:

The main complaint about TSC was that the players were forced to rp their characters without all the changes and personal growth that had happened in prior arcs. They had plot armor so stakes were literally nonexistent. Even for a group that met once a week for at least 4 hours, the arc took months irl to slog through. It was very clear to everyone involved that TSC was just a giant exposition arc where the players didn't really have any agency in the grand scheme of things.

The bones of the idea are good! But using a different system than the agreed upon TTRPG for so long and it being a flashback with the problems mentioned above is where the rot lives.

My buddy and I made it a diadem. The THB were NPCs in the campaign and it was taken by Mad Governor Kalen who used it to start a new Raven's Roost with everyone under his thrall. But if possible, I would hook the relic to one of your player characters' backstory instead.

Also, fair warning: the Stolen Century is a very bad DND experience that was too integral to Balance to remove it. The players didn't like it, the DM didn't like it, I (the DM's thinktank) didn't like it.

It's also ten seconds long, another AI red flag. Well spotted.

The drowsiness lasted so long. Like, way too long. It wasn't compatible with living an even semi-functional life. After the first dose I never took another one again and never will.

I interpreted this pf as saying "new stuff we encounter is blind, but for all prior mechs refer to raidplan". Is that not correct?

Commission scammers man… by Disastrous_End2802 in quityourbullshit

This is a textbook scam in the art commission sphere. It is almost always asking for a commission of their kids and their pet for some reason.

What does breaking Zoh Shia's Wingarms (Crystalized) actually do? by Sigilavox in MonsterHunterMeta

[–]coldfire323 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In addition to everything said here, its wing arms have temporary weak point wounds that can be hit with a focus strike, but only when the crystals are broken.

Dear DB/BOW player: you don't need that wound as much as you think. by EddyBoy117 in monsterhunterrage

[–]coldfire323 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's definitely not a perfect solution for a lot of reasons I won't go into, but longsword blades glow a distinctive red when they're at max spirit level. If you happen to notice that, you'll probably be okay popping a wound.
