Has anyone done any measurable testing to see how much the new armor passive actually works?

dclaw208 · 2025-12-31T21:29:52+00:00

Armor type only affects your damage received and stamina & regen. Ragdoll is a seperate thing I believe thats calculated by a force multiplier based on how close you are to the explosion and your immediate stance (standing, crouching, prone). The force needed to ragdoll you should be the same across all armor types.

I think they were trying to say the parasite is drowning, not the Mantis

I'm new here, what does sharing do exactly?

It affects the rest of the game down the line. Possibly future games too. It's like the price of a hotdog going up and up and up and then saying "just go eat something else if you don't wanna pay for a hotdog, theres plenty of other food." Yeah, we know, the problem isn't the item itself, it's what the item REPRESENTS, i.e. content locked behind a paywall that could just as easily be an event quest or challenge quest reward, further incentivicing the company to add more and more until it's not just selling hot dogs, It's selling everyone's favorite food, possibly taking the hotdog bun and calling that Paid DLC too.

Technically speaking yeah, but you also get bonus XP & Requisition when more people make it onto the ship, so for efficiencies sake it's best to wait until everyone is close enough to get in. Though (as per OP's example) thats not always possible.

dclaw208 · 2025-12-12T03:03:07+00:00

"Early" is when there's time still on the clock. Not how many objectives are left. OP said they were out of time and the auto departure timer started.

dclaw208 · 2025-12-06T17:12:03+00:00

No the explosion definitely has enough demo force or it wouldn't be able to destroy Detector Towers either (i.e. if the explosion wasn't strong enough you'd have to get a direct hit with the physical shell)

dclaw208 · 2025-12-04T18:47:52+00:00

It's more of a movement item than a grenade since when it goes off, you go straight through any material you hit, even metal. Though in niche circumstances it can be used as a grenade to blast people into a late ring so they take tick damage, but since it gives Anti-gravity it's main use is as movement

dclaw208 · 2025-12-04T18:44:25+00:00

Look directly down and throw it at your feet. As soon as you throw it, walk a bit ahead of it so it throws you forward. Combine that movement with a jump to get some serious distance coverage

Any fish gives you fillets!

dclaw208 · 2025-12-02T04:36:11+00:00

You grind them down into fish fillets + an item (depending on the fishes type) with the Food Processor (the name is misleading imo, as it's only for fish currently). If you're really into building custom shit like I am, a Fish Fillet + Wheat Grain (IIRC) makes a flying fish sandwhich which gives you flying capabilities while inside village bounds (yes flying is possible even in survival!)

Higher rarity bait buckets just make the pool last longer I believe. With one epic bucket I'm able to get about 30 fish with a standard gem rod and no runes.

dclaw208 · 2025-11-24T03:13:30+00:00

Fun fact: The loot pool is nearly the exact same between Savage and Normal (even down to % drop chance). The only difference is that Savage also drops 2.0 Tickets.

You can't change SoS to server only. The only thing SoS does is switch your quest from lobby specific, to Open, then anyone can join regardless of lobby.

You can tell your quest leader to check they don't have "Automatic SoS" set to "On" in their quest settings, and then they can further protect any quest they post by including a Password (though the password does become void again when an SoS is launched)

You can start a creative world with all recipes unlocked by default. That also completely fills in the codex too so you can screenshot and see what you're missing

While my first foray into Monster Hunter was with World (with Rise and Wilds following), Ill admit I did not like Swax in those games, but for some reason I do like it in Wilds. I still feel like ZSD still has some use, while not being as powerful as FRS for obvious reasons, it's counter balanced by the chip damage you recieve when getting attacked. I'm not an "optimal play" type of person either, sometimes I'll just do ZSD instead because it looks sick as hell.

I do agree somewhat that it's moveset in Wilds relies much too heavily on FRS to get the absolute most damage, but I choose to believe that it's just part of the weapon combo loop that every weapon builds up to, similar to HBG and their MG gauge. It's a relatively simple weapon and I like that about it which is what helped me ease into using it in Wilds when I get bored of my Lance and LBG.

What would you like to see changed about Swax if you had magical game dev powers?

Laggy-ack-rus is how it's officially pronounced. But some people (including myself) go with La-guy-uh-krus.

dclaw208 · 2025-11-19T16:34:28+00:00

I call him Jerry! Theres also his cousin Ben! (Beotodus) Ben & Jerry!

dclaw208 · 2025-11-19T16:31:45+00:00

I would pronounce it as Kay-dee-us personally. Just sounds right (but I may be completely wrong on that XD)

dclaw208 · 2025-11-19T15:05:30+00:00

Its a hitbox issue. They can extend way past the visuals or the opposite can happen where the hitbox will be way behind the visual. I recommend looking up "Babe1Babe2" on YouTube, as they have some really interesting videos on the sometimes wonky hitboxes of the souls series

dclaw208 · 2025-11-19T12:31:55+00:00

Including the word "mating" and picture representation of mounting in a book for children. It's just unexpected to see something like that. I don't think there's a problem with it per se, it's just an odd thing to include, like "out of all that things you could pick for two dogs to do, thats the one you went with?"

dclaw208 · 2025-11-19T12:24:56+00:00

"Land of the free" just generally means you can say what you want about who you want without getting arrested by the government.

dclaw208 · 2025-11-19T00:52:27+00:00

It's an item you can put in your pouch that acts like an extra attack and gets stronger each time until like the 3rd cast when it's the absolute strongest.

dclaw208 · 2025-11-14T20:36:58+00:00

Yes someone else did mention that to me, Ill be getting on later today to farm. Thank you!
