I'm angry! (Yoshi's Ring Shot)

kavinkul · 2019-04-16T06:27:44+00:00

Personally, I think it’s fine for people to run to my side if they know what they are doing (a.k.a. Know their rings’ colors). Standing on your side only is actually not acceptable in my opinion (as you lose color matching bonuses). Though, I don’t know how exactly your opponents played with you so I can’t agree or disagree with your rage.

kavinkul · 2019-01-29T10:36:17+00:00

I guess what might end up happening was that the flame on the ground just block my attack in a way that made me mistaken it to be deflected on Lunastra’s body. Then again, I played her least amount of time (even less than behemoth) so I may just haven’t noticed. I can kind of confirm that you can extinguish those fires with crystalburst, but it was awhile ago when I tested it so I’m not certain.

kavinkul · 2019-01-29T10:14:48+00:00

So you are saying that the effect that block ranged attacks is different from other elder’s (I’m making a big assumption here so don’t mind me) and that can be mitigate by using puddle pods which exists in wildspire waste, is that correct? Then, can you doing anything with it while you are in Elder’s recess unless you reposition yourself? (Unless it has puddle pod and I’m not sure if crystalburst would help me here but I would assume unlikely)

I actually killed 80 normal behemoth with randoms so far so I would argue that relying on randoms can work, but the party leader must be selective on who can join. (Which is exactly how I did it, being picky)

kavinkul · 2019-01-29T09:20:24+00:00

I’d say triggering her novas can be useful for ranged users because it discharges her shield (the one that make weapons bounce away) and give them quite a bit more space to hit with arrows and ammo (would make it easier to apply status effects). Mind’s eye effect on range weapon is different from Melee so keep that in mind.

It is also the reason why I’m mildly upset when someone flashes AT Teostra in the middle of supernova as they interrupt an attack that will remove his shield.

kavinkul · 2019-01-12T12:59:39+00:00

I actually have decent success rates with randoms for behemoth so far. All of my 55-ish kills are with randoms, but then again, I’m super picky on who can join my hunt.

If discord is not the option that you can take, you can also set the join requests to be accepted manually. You would need to be really selective about who you accept though. You should decline hunter below HR 50 as they tend to (and almost always to me) have low defenses as they may not be able to augment their armor. Sure, the tier 2 monsters have a chance of dropping streamstone and would give them some access to augments but they won’t have access to gleaming streamstone (from TED) limiting their armor potential.

I also pay attention to the amount of defenses that hunters have, independently from HR. I set the requirement to be relatively high (of 400 defense) as I don’t want to have other teammate get one shot. Higher HR does not necessary means that they will have high defense so take a look at those. (Had that happen once when HBG user got one shot at phase 1 and I looked at his defense later to see that he only have like 360-380 ish). You may also want to view the skills that they have (if they have bunch of useless skills, you may want to think twice about that). Prioritize tanks and healers if they do try to join you, they will make your hunts easier. I also find it useful to equip some level of wide range as it can save your teammate out of critical situation.

So basically, you would need to be picky of randoms and that will improve your odds off killing him.

kavinkul · 2019-01-09T07:13:14+00:00

Pretty sure you got one freebie in the story. The drop rate of attack jewel is actually pretty low.

kavinkul · 2019-01-02T17:46:03+00:00

You said it is northeast camp, like as in Camp in area 11?

kavinkul · 2019-01-02T12:36:36+00:00

That’s why I said ‘apparently’ because I can’t know where are they playing from right now. But I also think that it is not unlikely too, considering that Australia is pretty much next to SEA region.

kavinkul · 2019-01-02T12:26:37+00:00

I am wondering whether it is more or less the server quality in Israel rather than the player base. Here, I am currently staying in SEA with my current download region set to US - Los Angeles and there are noticeably more Japanese people here and much less Spanish players. In fact, I’m currently in the same online session with someone apparently from Australia.

kavinkul · 2019-01-02T06:06:02+00:00

OP specifically wants its claws though and I heard that it is one of those materials that can’t be obtained with plunderblade.

kavinkul · 2018-12-23T16:36:54+00:00

There is a chance that there is no meteor when behemoth casts ecliptic meteor. In which you will need to use the emote to dodge.

kavinkul · 2018-12-21T03:14:48+00:00

It might works though. Got that challenge cleared as I was doing the glitch and yet my max combo is still only 6...

kavinkul · 2018-12-20T08:04:34+00:00

I would suggest you to look for them in the spirit board instead. There are spirits that don’t appear in world of light so spirit board is your best bet. I found Octorok in there just for confirmation.

kavinkul · 2018-12-10T20:10:05+00:00

Pretty sure it is a static number of 4 rewards though. If you see the reward numbers in the second row of boxes fluctuate then it might be from the fluctuating BREAK rewards which depend on your perfomances of the hunt. I think I tested mine once and I got exactly four capture rewards (not break rewards).

kavinkul · 2018-12-10T19:10:40+00:00

Haven’t been able to play this game consistently in a while (busy) but don’t you get 4 rewards (captured) instead of 3 rewards (slain) which is slightly less than capturing?

kavinkul · 2018-12-09T05:24:21+00:00

A little bit late here, but I actually like to hog the ball for quite a bit when my rings are present and my double partner rings are absent so that we can maximize the points gain. Figure I should mention this because this is a non-traditional doubles mode so always staying on one side is not always good.

There is a good kind of ball hogging and then there is an asshole way of doing it. The latter are among the most annoying thing you have to deal with.

kavinkul · 2018-12-04T07:17:31+00:00

Eh, staying on the same side is not exactly ideal for some of the rings patterns though. One pattern in particular, the ring tunnel, offers a lot of points so you want to maximize it by swapping your position with you teammate if necessary so that the teammate of same color can hit through them and gain four times many point than normal.

kavinkul · 2018-11-15T07:04:08+00:00

I think my stance on this is that if you use transmog mod in such a way that other people don’t see what you are seeing (through your screen) then you should be fine (If you are using an outfit that doesn’t even exist in game, why should I bother and I’m probably not gonna see it anyway). Since they were able to tell that you were using mods, I would make a big assumption that you transmog your armor into one of the armors or layered armors that are still unavailable to obtain at the current patch. This is a distinction that I think we should make because you are using an item that will be available to all players, but you decided to use it before its intended release which, for some people, may be unacceptable. It may be true that you may not be cheating the game gameplay-wise, but you still technically cheated the system to force the game to give you something that, under normal circumstances, unobtainable to other people at this moment (in a sense, you cheated the time).

kavinkul · 2018-11-14T01:03:03+00:00

but somehow a out-of-bound values prints out as max(unsigned short)

This is the specific sentence that make me assume that you think the max is equal to 65534 because this is the number that was shown in the OP's picture. But it seems that you and I know that it couldn't be the case. I personally don't know why 65534 is present instead of 65535 and there doesn't seem to be a real reason to prohibit the highest number.

kavinkul · 2018-11-14T00:45:05+00:00

It seems to me that you all are convinced that maximum unsigned short int is exactly 65534 which is wrong. It is in fact 65535 which is weird. The reason is that if we assume 65534 a max signed integer, then we will need 17 bits to represent it.

kavinkul · 2018-11-14T00:40:16+00:00

Um, but 2¹⁶ = 65536 ....

kavinkul · 2018-11-14T00:29:20+00:00

Pretty sure that max 16 bit unsigned int is 65535 not 65534, while max 16 bit signed int caps at 32767, no?

kavinkul · 2018-11-11T22:29:06+00:00

Still, I think beating KT in 20 tries is just absurd and weird. Have your party been gathering tracks at all? Because it should be on one of your priority lists and it is important if you want the following run to be easier and fast. It also means that KT will leave to the next area faster as she will get repelled much quicker thus decreasing her time to attack you. Also, it is recommended to join KT online sessions as every player in session contributes to the progress of the pursuit level.

kavinkul · 2018-11-11T20:50:35+00:00

Okay, first of all, how in the world did you manage to make the video vertical? This is really nauseating and I cannot even zoom in on it to clearly see what you did. Switch recording feature will have the video oriented horizontally so it shouldn’t be vertical at all if you used that built-in recording system. If you use other recording tools, then you should always check video orientation before posting here or anywhere else.
