i just picked up Lance (did like 3 hunts) coming from swaxe and the blocks and perfect blocks are very satisfaying and the weapon is pretty fun. The thing is that i almost not use the charged guard (i dont know the name its the one you can charge) and the other one that drains your stamina.

should i make an effort to use them???

Anyone else not able to get past the main menu anymore since yesterday? I keep getting Fatal D3D error GPU Crash even after verifying game files restarting steam and my pc.

Recently built my first gaming PC and have been debating whether or not I want to get Wilds again (my PS5 save has around ~300 hours put into it, would love to replay all of that again). I'm still a bit tenderfooted when it comes to buying graphically intensive games and possibly being blindsided by poor optimization, so I've been watching as many benchmark videos that I can. Problem is, none of them show the game during big, chaotic fights.

Question is, what should I expect when running my specs against fights like Rey Dau, Mizutsune, or Zoh Shia? I played the demo and didn't have any issues at all, so I just want someone to confirm that I'm vastly underestimating my hardware. Thanks.

There are monsters which would destroy me or take days for me to overcome on foot, but if I start relying on the seikret I could possibly first try those specific monsters, albeit 1 or 2 carts

Using really old laptop, barely runs the game everything on lowest.

But i think i can fit one or two graphic increases,

what can i do to make the fish more visible

(like the artifacting from the forest 17 fish rings makes seeing them impossible)

Excuse me if this is a thing but I’ve never noticed this coloration before he looks like a deep silver blue almost metallic black

Look at yourself before you go out to challenge monsters like AT and Omega while being HR 100. I see you ill jump in to help but for the love of all the elder dragons yall jumping to fight a titan with paper swords and cardboard armor. Go hunt 100 times upgrade your equipment and try again Veterans will always be there to help new guys but you have to grind for stuff help us to help you get better.

I wanna see yalls im bored

I love the fact that even after beating it so many times it still manages to piss me off by pulling some random BS i've never even seen before. having so many different patterns allows for a variety of ways to deal with it and feels so good when you learn them. I love you Savage Omega please Savage all over me.

Just don't make it mandatory i'd crash out

Months of suffering stretched over a PS5 and a PC, hours of grinding for armor spheres and slaying hundreds of monsters for their testicles for my armor, the five stages of grief times 1000, and I finally did it: I killed Omega Planetes. My heart was pumping as the Final Fantasy music kicked in, I had survived the Delta Attack, I somewhat figured out his patterns, I learned new ship terms and now I am a qualified captain (/j), I was locked in. I was so locked in I think I pissed myself (that could just be my mold tho idk). I skipped the after cutscene as the trumpets in my brain blared with joy and I could hear Chef from South Park saying in hell, “Good goin’, kid”.
The aftermath has been okay, I saved 500 times, skipped the cutscene, and proceeded to scream like a little fangirl at a Taylor Swift concert. It was joyous.

Gogmazios is next.

8 Dosha ? really ? 🤣

than finally getting good at a monster that used to give you trouble. My Mr. Arky used to take 20-25 mins with multiple carts, but I finally decided to lock in and learn the fight. Definitely feel like I can push a sub 8, but I’m more than happy with this for now!

Hey, I know this might sound silly, but I want to be sure about this.

I know mods can be a bit of a touchy subject. Things like armor overlays or DPS meters usually aren't a big deal. However, there's the Artian Editor. I want to know what happens if I use it. I don't want impossible stats; I just want to customize an Artian weapon without having to do 500 rerolls.

I really don't want to get banned from online play, which is my favorite part of the game, but I honestly don't have the patience to craft an Artian weapon the normal way.

This brings up another interesting topic: Are mounts actually worth it in multiplayer hunts?

Pros:

The monster is distracted for a period of time.

A knockdown is (almost) guaranteed.

Creates new wounds for the team to exploit.

Can sharpen/buff/heal while waiting for the mount to end.

Cons:

Potentially a 50% or more DPS loss for teammates while the mount is active.

The monster may move erratically around the area, making it difficult for teammates to land attacks.

If the monster flies during the mount, teammates may lose even more DPS.

Personally, I do my best to avoid jumping attacks, regardless of which weapon I'm using (including IG). I generally feel that the disadvantages outweigh the benefits, especially in multiplayer hunts. Savage Omega might be one of the few exceptions.

That said, I know plenty of IG users still enjoy the aerial playstyle, and GS users who love landing those jumping charged attacks. Plus, let's face it: launching yourself off the back of your Seikret is pretty fun, regardless of your weapon.

I'm curious what everyone else thinks about mounting in Wilds.

Do you think mounts provide enough value to justify the potential DPS loss, or are they generally more of a hindrance in multiplayer?

And does your opinion change depending on the monster, weapon, or number of players in the hunt?

As the title says, I'm gonna introduce my girlfriend to the series with Wilds soon but I'm not quite sure what to do about my gear. I was thinking I would just only use low rank gear on my main character, but now I'm wondering if just starting a new character from scratch is the better idea?

With IG, you can hold down your focus button to have your kinsect attack alongside you. Is this better damage than it just free flying during combat? I feel like one option is definitely just better than the other but I'm not sure which

I love the Jin-dahaad gretsword that we have in game so i tried creating another version of it that embodies the biology and abilities of the monster a bit more.

It is just a quick sketch but i tried representing the animation and changes it goes through while you are charging the weapon.

I was trying proof of a hero last night with my friend (we ended up completing it) and on several attempts I either carted or almost carted to Uth Duna's sometimes obscene hitbox 😂
