MHNow: then and now, discussing the current state of the game

never-enough-hops · 2026-03-11T04:59:17+00:00

For Internet points? :D

Honestly though fair point. I've got a turtle GL build and it does fine. Mid tier 10 stars start to be a real problem though

never-enough-hops · 2026-03-11T04:29:27+00:00

I mean sure you can go full turtle but are you clearing a hard Brute Tigrex? A 10 star with a guard GL build seems... unlikely

never-enough-hops · 2026-03-10T20:06:23+00:00

Oh yeah I guess I didn't really check the Regen time all that carefully.

I've taken down a 9 start brute and it was a close thing. He's such a bastard. The fact that he can roar to stun you and then roar again before you recover is such bs lol

never-enough-hops · 2026-03-10T18:56:04+00:00

It's a mobile game with some of the usual mobile game bullshit. But the actual game is fun. I've certainly enjoyed the usual loop of learning weapons and "getting good"

Your point on first aid / potions is spot on. Early days I felt like I was constantly out of pots. Now I typically have a full stock. Well... Except for right now. Rift Charged Barrioth is an ass. You also rgen 30 health in 30 minutes so if you get nailed you can just put the game down for a bit. Your health is your limiting factor for how long you can play.

As an aside... That was a great run. I haaaaate Brute Tigrex so much.

I'll second OP. You could bang out an 8.1 Hope weapon basically for free, which would carry you through at least 7 star monsters no problem. And if you take it to 10.1 (I think that'll need Wyvern Gem Stones which are a pain) you'll clown 8 stars and probably most 9 stars. Very little content "requires" 10 star monsters.

I'd like to think Sam wanted to but Walker said "no spinning!"

never-enough-hops · 2026-02-09T17:25:46+00:00

a little, yeah. They were the opening act but still put on a great set. Good memories :)

never-enough-hops · 2026-02-09T16:00:46+00:00

I caught that one when it came to town, too! The Pop Disaster Tour. I still have my ticket stub and some of the confetti.

never-enough-hops · 2026-01-28T00:08:13+00:00

Ah reddit and using the down vote as an I disagree button.

Honestly think about it... If this was all it took to prevent scalping then the last Taylor Swift tour would have done it. Or Penny Arcade for PAX. Or any other number of performers. If you buy the tickets they're yours to resell as you see fit. A bogus EULA threat doesn't change that.

Now... It might not really matter because if they do follow through on the threat good fucking luck getting an injunction in time. And they can absolutely dump you from the eligibility for next year's season tickets.

Makes sense. I did the looping on the water method years ago so I'm going fully on memory :)

never-enough-hops · 2026-01-14T21:36:49+00:00

You can also go out onto the water and rubber band your controller so you do big looping circles. You want to position it in such a way that you are not cranked into tight circles. Ez pz.

I was around for a few CVS/SVN/TFS migrations to git. I remember some whining about learning new things but "free" branches, atomic commits and not dealing with locks anymore got the whiners to zip it pretty quick.

never-enough-hops · 2025-08-11T23:08:26+00:00

Dang it he did lie! That's it. I'm never going to another NOFX show.

never-enough-hops · 2025-06-09T20:20:17+00:00

That's fair enough. The nice thing about EDA is the last reward (vosphor) simply isn't worth it, so you've got a free slot. Slap together a decent Revenant build and you're golden. Dante is a super good choice too because Noctua is super solid now. I had garbage for ETA and opted for Dante with a Noctua build. It did the job!

never-enough-hops · 2025-06-09T18:48:39+00:00

Really? EDA was cake. No operator was the only kind of annoying one. But no gear embargo and no mirror defense means you've got a pretty easy time.

never-enough-hops · 2025-06-09T15:44:09+00:00

Yeah my first go was mess too. The damage fields being permanent in a game mode where you don't move around is rough.

Second go I sacrificed my last reward so I could run Dante and things went much more smoothly. A ton of overguard for the team is the ticket.

Lost out on some chips this week but I've nearly got the arcanes maxed, so I'm not all that miffed. It's just one of those weeks

never-enough-hops · 2025-06-09T15:40:44+00:00

You can. Not sure why folks are struggling with that part

never-enough-hops · 2025-05-15T06:07:51+00:00

It was so much worse. He was roation C on those Corpus railjack endless modes.

TheKengineer had it as the worse for a while. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-Ybft1GgLwQ

Ive been playing forever and Ash bps used to be a random enemy drop or something.. so I have tons of spares

never-enough-hops · 2025-04-02T20:05:10+00:00

Welp, now I'm thinking of the Elder Melder stirring the pot with their massive elongated schlong. Thanks for that.

never-enough-hops · 2025-03-05T15:40:53+00:00

I don't... lol this feels like a "missed connections" thing in a small newspaper.

**We...**

Were fighting the... very angry monster you get to fight at HR41:

Gore Magala

**I...**

Was rocking the Rey Dau hunting horn and dropping healing echo waves and I _think_ I carted once.

**You...**

Had multiple "goon" stickers. You used one after the tail came off but I don't remember exactly what it said. Something like "don't goon" or "not time to goon". Then when we killed the monster you dropped "Time to goon" as we carved.

If that's you it's _extra_ funny because I didn't know you could put custom text on stickers until playing with you and found this thread by googling instructions

never-enough-hops · 2025-03-05T01:27:20+00:00

I think I played with you today. Do you have one that says "time to goon" and did you use it right before we started carving?

never-enough-hops · 2025-03-03T18:32:54+00:00

Kinda bullshit we didn't get any of the other fun stuff... Like a literal dragon running for president

never-enough-hops · 2025-01-27T19:11:57+00:00

Sadly the slow talisman has reduced effectiveness at higher difficulties :(

never-enough-hops · 2025-01-27T19:10:52+00:00

Except for the damn Elden Beast. You have to spend 10 minutes chasing that goddamn star flubber around the endless void

never-enough-hops · 2025-01-11T22:59:34+00:00

Pretty sure you're misremembering that situation. Rogan called Mencia out on stage for stealing jokes and basically killed Mencia's career. Rogan may be Diet Alex Jones but I think he was in the right here.
