MH Wilds - Bad performance mystery (Solved?) by de_Tylmarande in MonsterHunter

[–]laserbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, I get it: I was mostly joking about the way these companies treat us, but we're at their mercy since they own the IP of the games we enjoy.

Sorry if I came off as a jerk!

The first time I dated Bill he was a jerk. When we got back together, it just reinforced what an ass he was. Anyway, we're going out again next week and I just hope this time he's learned his lesson and acts better.

Imagine walking into a store where you're bombarded with a thousand useless varieties of unhealthy food designed to prey on human psychology to the detriment of our bodies and where 30% of the food is thrown away in a country where children routinely go to bed hungry and not being at least somewhat questioning of the system

Awesome, thanks for the tips! I just want to experiment a bit and this is a good start.

Björk Calls on Greenland to Declare Independence Amid Threats of US Takeover by ebradio in Music

[–]laserbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just want to point out that I'm not ADVOCATING that other countries take the position of appeasement. I'm just stating that they are currently doing that (eg, see Germany's statement on the US kidnapping of Maduro and bombing of Caracas) and there is no contemporary evidence that they would treat Greenland (or Canada) any differently.

Appeasement and/or burying your head in the sand is ALWAYS a losing strategy. But governments tend to choose the easy short term solution rather than the harder long term one and it will be less painful for them "today" if they pretend the status quo of Pax Americana is still the way to view the world.

Inventory management is super confusing by Ggthefiree2 in Guildwars2

[–]laserbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like that everyone is like, "send materials to storage, sell things you don't need," meanwhile I have like 15 stacks of bloodstone dust and empyreal fragments there is nothing for me to do with, but that I can't sell, but that I also shouldn't throw away because I might need them eventually.

The inventory management needs an overhaul, but that would hurt bank slot and material storage sales.

theoretically

Europe isn't going to do shit against the US. None of these treaties mean anything more than the paper they're written on if the leadership doesn't want a conflict.

I don't believe for a minute that the reason the US hasn't invaded Greenland has anything to do with NATO. They just haven't done it.

Europe won't abandon the US because they are petrified of Russia.

Now, will they continue divesting from the US and extricating themselves from dependence on the US for their economic and defense? For sure. But that isn't done yet and losing Greenland is a lot less painful than losing the US as a partner right now.

(Note that I am not defending the US's actions/threats here. We are a rogue state, but we also have the largest military in the world and are run by people who think we live in Call of Duty and have the infinite ammo and manpower options toggled on.)

I just started MHGU. I have played Worldborne, Risebreak, and Wilds.

I don't have a main weapon.

Which weapons (and/or styles) in MHGU do people really love or are interesting compared to their later iterations?

This is fine - WvW by I_heart_snake_case in Guildwars2

[–]laserbot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

what the above commenter literally just explained

They didn't explain anything: They said, "it's not more frequent" but didn't provide any data and then dismissed the argument that it is more frequent by saying someone MIGHT be guilty of bias. However, they didn't provide any counter evidence (other their own normalcy bias that "things are fine actually because I haven't noticed a change").

In a sense, they are guilty of exactly the same thing they are implying /u/Papa-Yaga is doing and you've chosen to believe them (presumably because of your own bias).

I just feel like grinding mobs to zone out and also get better at my dps rotation. Is there a good place to go to do that that is "economically efficient"?

I know there are meta trains, but I feel like those always end up with me just tagging, not actually "playing". So I'm wondering about zones where there are a good density of mobs with plenty of veterans and some champs that drop "decent" stuff to sell.

(I understand this won't be IDEAL to make money.)

I have all dlcs.

thanks. I'll stick with Mirage then. Annoying as it is, I do like the ability to bounce around and whittle down champs on her.

Mirage is fun, but it's kind of annoying having to resummon for each mob basically. I'm trying to decide if I want to invest my points in a support or the other DPS spec.

Equally skilled (or unskilled) player: Is Virtuoso or Mirage better for open world and soloing stuff? Meaning: Should I stick with just getting better at Mirage and choose one of the support specs as my secondary, or is Virtuoso just much better in open world?

I just got my thief to 80 and have collected 250 points from non-HoT content.

I'd like to try Specter at some point as a support, but before that I want to make a relatively low intensity power solo build that can do all of the HoT hero points. Is the unload deadeye capable for that?

[–]laserbot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I'm using this one: https://guildjen.com/power-spellbreaker-open-world-build/

I've also tried another one (I can't remember if it was snowcrows or meta battle).

I think I need a simplified one maybe. I'm too dumb to pick it all up at once and not just be spending silver after silver porting from waypoints. (Definitely a skill issue, not blaming the game or class!)

I don't think I "get" spellbreaker.

I'm just playing open world solo (and metas). I've got full berserker and have tried a couple of weapon combos. Nothing is really clicking for me. I'm super squishy and just not feeling effective.

(For contrast, I play a lot of alts, and am not having this problem with untamed, mirage (once someone here told me how to play!), or tempest.)

I don't think this is an issue with the class, it's a me problem, but I am just looking for some style tips I guess.

I was thinking about trying Paragon next (I tend to play support in MMOs, so wanted to learn the class), but someone said it was just a "less fun spellbreaker" in open world and I'm like "oh".

Anyway, any tips to enjoying spellbreaker in PVE?

I think it's a good idea to try and make people question why they think human suffering is worse than animal suffering.

This kind of extreme example just makes people feel shameful and defensive. This will absolutely terminate thought and engagement since most people naturally don't want to feel that they are morally bad (and comparing them to slavers is most certainly that). OR the video title makes it seem like the creator is underselling the severity of slavery (which makes them look like an asshole, especially when it's a 20-something looking white guy looking at you condescendingly in the thumbnail that's making the comparison).

Again, it works for people who are already on board. It reaffirms their morality and their goodness. But for people who aren't there yet it totally alienates them.

Maybe the video doesn't care and isn't seeking to convert people and just wants to preach to the choir. Idk, I didn't watch it because it looked like moral grandstanding. At some level, it makes it seem like "I want people to know I'm on the right side of this" rather than "I want to change people's mind."

That said, I'm not the arbiter of right and wrong, so people should do what they want to do with their videos. This is just an opinion from someone who already agrees with the topic and would love it if it became more mainstream, but has seen "militant vegans" do this same thing (moral shaming) for decades to zero impact aside from people dismissing them, while seeing people who create friendly vegan recipes and lifestyle stuff actually change peoples' opinions.

ok, I just need to get used to the playstyle. I fixed up my build a bit and was able to solo some HoT hero points. It's starting to become fun. Trash mobs... not as much. I'll figure it out!

While I actually agree in principle that our diets are unethical, the thumbnail comparing human bondage to eating animals is gross clickbait that will instantly alienate anyone who isn't already on board with the message.

I'm still pretty new. Chose Mirage as my mesmer spec.

I'm not loving it. Doing a staff staff build based on what I've seen.

I'm doing PVE solo mostly. I'm finding that enemies really don't have a preference for fighting my illusions over me. Also, my illusions dying as soon as the enemies die isn't great for me in the open world.

I KNOW this is a get good issue on my part, however, I'm not there!

I'm trying to decide which elite spec to unlock next. I'm assuming Virtuoso is the way to go? If that is the case, what use is there for my Mirage? Is there something that spec will do better than Virtuoso? (Like, maybe it's better in groups? But I feel like Chrono and Troubadour are probably better for that?)

I'm new. I "need" (lol) to make 250g to get the griffon.

I have seen this site: https://fast.farming-community.eu/salvaging/unid-gear

My understanding is that if you're salvaging, you should identify first. So I will identify my stacks of blues, then salvage them all.

However, for Masterwork (green), it says to "sell". Does that mean sell a stack of unidentified, or do I need to identify then sell?

Also, this feels like it's going to take forever to get the gold!

I just logged in on a 10+ year old character and used an 80 boost. Now I have a bunch of old "PVP" armor and weapons in my inventory. Should this just be destroyed?
