Oh man, now my game crashing has become every time I fight Zinogre in GL. Starting to think maybe it has something to do with particle effects.

[Elcura]

my issue with the grinding lands is that it's an expedition, which means death has no repercussions at all... in fact it's better to die because of fortify. i purposely die in the gl every 15-20 mins so i can maintain the fortify buff, which is a 20% attack boost. with the safi blast greatsword, with all capped out attack upgrades, you have 1666 base attack. for a comparison between the strength of skills in this game, peak performance gives 20 attack while fortify gives that weapon 333 attack... its an absurd skill and you can maintain it indefinitely in the grinding lands because death has no meaning

the whole thing feels like a grind because you can faceroll to your hearts desire and not care about you or teammates sucking balls

It's either a stressful grind where deaths matter and might not get what you want or a relaxing grind where your goals matter and you'll get as much as you want eventually.

Sure you can stack fortify, you can also have a point of geologist for double drops and just run around other people's GL picking shit up lol, it's meant to be a fun way to get shit done not an overly frustrating RNG fest. I go into GL to relax, try out new builds and get shit I want. Challenge and stakes are still there if you want decorations with tempered investigations and Safi (well, in terms of wasting a lot of your time for barely any reward lol) and I'd definitely not say no to a new challenging mode that's also rewarding.

But I can't say I prefer running tempered elders which wasn't very hard but if you got potato teammates you'll fail and if you get lucky you'll destroy, at the best of times with a solid teammate you can grind it out at a decent speed but I can't say it was fun never getting what I needed or even wanted. Soloing was also incredibly boring, even if I changed up weapons and builds. At least now there's some cool music and I can relax and do things knowing I'm spending my time getting somewhere.

edit: also worth pointing out that not dying has benefits if you like to make lots of different weapons and armour since you're killing 2 birds with 1 stone. Far less important now that Safi is out...but it's hard to say what wasn't made irrelevant by Safi weapons.

Just fought Shrieking. Wasn't as bad as I originally thought.

But holy shit Brachydios can fuck himself with a 10 foot pole. Velkhana wasn't a fun fight either since I went in not knowing his ice beam ignored guard.

[Cyn]

Need guard up for Velk. And blast resist for Dios if you're using lance. Otherwise you just get slimed every time you block.

[Corrderio]

Will 3/3 blast res prevent the blight?

[Rhyis.]

yes. it will trivialize the fight

same thing with pep jewels and nightshade troy polamalu

[Cyn]

Most gimmicks that you could ignore in HR are worth considering having 3 flexible 1 pip sockets available for in MR. Effluvia res, blast res, elemental blight res and iron skin are all very helpful at different points just off the top of my head.

[Corrderio]

Sounds good. Right now I've been mostly dicking around with sidequests before I continue on after fighting Shrieking. So far only 4 star jewel I got that looks good is Offensive Guard/Attack

rajang is dead, long live rajang

Scroll down to the CPU Overload fix.

[Cyn]

Crash was caused by system memory. Disabled XMP and ran a memory scan, no faults, decided to just try MHW with default memory speed and it hasn't crashed since last night.

Fucking shame, since my mobo is 5 years old it runs DDR3, so I just had to drop down to 1600MHz from 2400MHz lol. Game still runs decently pretty much maxed out though, so not the end of the world I guess.

[Abandon]

gotta raise my vale level to farm brute tigrex, fuck this earth

[-Zer0-]

Welcome to the grind.

[Cyn]

You can just lock your levels and join a level 6 Vale group.

[Rhyis.]

at some point you will want to have every region leveled to 7 for a bit

grinding lands baby. it is what it is

[Cyn]

Just got MR 100 and Vale to 7. I need to drop Forest and Wildspire to 1 and do Highlands.

I wanna kill some more Nergi though.

[Karbuncle]

[Corrderio]

Fake and gay.

Spoiler: show

The Handler didn't freeze to death. Much to my disappointment

[Rhyis.]

hey pard, over here.

They finally took their head out of their ass.
