Gunlance makes a ton of wounds and seems to destroy them naturally without having to do the LT+RB move. That move feels pretty underwhelming.

GL is super satisfying. Once I got to the harder stuff toward the end of LR I had to learn to be more patient and just take advantage of the constant ability to poke safely while staying close, only going for the Multi Wyven Stake move when the timing is right. The shell -> dashing wide sweep -> stake combo is fast and easy to pull off, and can really position well during it if you’re trying.

Only quest I failed was Arkveld. Game felt super easy early and gradually the difficulty amped up. Looking forward to diving into HR tonight.

MP with link party and environment does feel more complicated than is all together necessary. My buddies and I just made a squad and everyone joins the squad lobby, then you can join quests as you please. I’m ahead of my buddies so last night I was just helping them if they had quests up while I was between fights pushing my own story.

Difficulty and mob HP in general seems all over the place especially in tempered/frenzied types. I'll be fighting something and it's just falls over. Can't tell if it's introductory quests or not as I've not done a huge amount of side farming. Just enough to keep the chapters moving. HR at 30 and it's still introducing new monsters though at a pittance. Wounds are definitely too powerful I'm still wearing LR armor/weapon and blasting with SNS with 2-5 min kills. Having a remotely refined build with good uptime is going to shred what's available atm.

The cutscenes still won't stop either.

GS is so fucking awesome in this. Being able to turn during your charges, the amount of ways you can proc a Perfect Slash and the new counter parry move its the best its ever felt.

Hammer felt meh. Still want to try SA. Running around with a Doot as secondary for easy immunes etc.

The only thing so far that is annoying is back to back fights with no time to refill shit. Only chapter 2 so might just be the story mode that mess it up.

Not much investigation just rushing into monsters.

So just running around killing stuff doesn’t count off the “optional quests” like I thought it would. Not a big deal since stuff was easy but thought that would have been a nice feature and that it was what they meant by “quests starting in the field.”

HTF do you just post a damn quest to kill a specific monster? Like I am missing the gloves from Guardian Arkveld, and I want to kill him a couple more times.

Couple things:

Turn the brightness down for the washed out look to go away. Things look good after that.

There is a setting for Sycret in controls so he doesn't fight you when you want to go off the auto path.

Every monster I've killed (not repelled) has had an Optional quest appear at Alma, you should be able to farm that quest. If its not there, try looking at the Assignments, I could be wrong here, but you should be able to repeat those too (I've not had to do that).

Wilds certainly nails the cinematic aspect for a lot of fights, I'm especially impressed with high rank Scarlet Forest, really really nice.

Got this for daughter on pc. I have been trying to get decent framerate and quality on her 3060 and it's not looking great. Hopefully they will optimize it in a better way in future patchs.

I'm gonne keep tinkering with the setting.

I could only get it to look passable (still worse than ps5 pro frame-rate mode though) while running in a 1080 window, with High settings on Balanced if I recall.

The game does a fucking horrible job of explaining what set bonuses and skills actually do. Why can't I hover over this shit and get a skill description? Fucking controller scumbags ruining the game for gods chosen people once again...

Hm, yea, I only see a 3* Assignment. I guess we need to be HR40+ or further into the Chapters past the credits for it to unlock again.

If you didnt know if you go into the map then click the button for environment overview you can start quests directly for a mob

Can also do it by clicking on a mob in the field

This, at least the 2nd option, did not give me credit for the available optional quest. I began field survey of a Spider after getting back to camp but when returning the optional quest from Alma doesn’t have a green check. Maybe I did something wrong though.
