Colapops posted:I've got the money, the items, everything. For another example, I've got all the right kelbi and duramboros parts for the kelbi bow, yet it simply isn't there to craft anywhere. It's a base bow as well, not an upgrade from another, and I still can't see it. I had the same problem. It seems like you need the highest rank part to unlock things. As soon as I got the High-quality pelt it showed up even though I had no duramboros horns. Dont get too excited about the slime on it though. It needs "awaken" which doesnt show up until G rank armors I think

All of a sudden something lands near me, I see it's his scalp and pan the camera to see Cha-Cha's followup attack dizzy him for me. Good...good work, little buddy People seriously underestimate Cha-Cha and Kayamba's usefulness. Cha-Cha with the False Felyne mask will be breaking the monster into itty bitty pieces (and also interrupting your combos and flinging you around, but that's a small price to pay) and you can equip Kayamba with a more utility-oriented mask or the Ancient Mask to have him hitting monsters with status effects and dancing like nobody's business.

I've had Kayamba and Cha-Cha chain flinch things after I flinch things. They are seriously the best little guys.

I like putting stun attack on both and using a hammer/hunting horn. Things get so dizzy, it's not even funny. Speaking of, finally got my wish and found a KO +4 Charm, so I slotted Knockout King into my Qurupeco S armor.

Is it really the best time to get into Monster Hunter with 3U? I tried the wii one and it felt too clunky and weird and I never really got into it. I think if it would have been a bit more polished and more new player friendly then i would have clicked with it. The thought of awesome huge monsters in HD excites me and I think it's enough to push me into the series enough to grasp the gameplay.

Join the #monsterhunter channel on IRC to get a friendly monhun vet to show you the ropes. Otherwise yeah, the game is not very newby-friendly and might be intimidating at first. Still, once you get the hang of it you'll be fighting the same monster over and over just to get the chance to forge a pair of pants that will let you hunt another monster easier.

As I've been moaning about repeatedly in IRC, gently caress the Diablos. I killed 14 today trying to get one measly Majestic Horn, and nothing. Supposed to be an 8% drop, and you need one to finish the LR armour set. Not cool, Capcom!

I used a classic controller pro for Tri and I'm using a Wii U Pro now though and I can't recommend them enough for Monster Hunter.

Eighty? What the gently caress that sounds pretty up there in terms of JRPG grinding. The easiest way I can think of is Goldenfish bait, then bringing as many materials as you can to combine to make more out in the field.

Maybe if you're in multiplayer and your teammates did 99% of the damage you could do the last hit. Same with the hunting horn. I've tried plenty with both and despite landing tons of hits I've never managed to do it. Question about tail cutting. If a tail needs 100 damage to be cut, can you do 100 impact/shot/whatever damage and then slice it off with one hit of slashing? Or do you need to do 100 slashing damage? I'm assuming it's the latter.

This has probably been asked many times throughout the thread, but as someone with a 3DS and no intent on getting a Wii U for a while is this game worth it for the single player alone? It would be my first monster hunter game. Edit: By this game I mean MH3 Ultimate. Evil Eagle fucked around with this message at 13:42 on Mar 31, 2013 |

It is extremely worth it for the single player. You can play the entire game single player if you want to, even on the WiiU, though it's going to take a lot longer to do.

The multiplayer monsters have a lot more hp and an extra difficulty rank so you'll have to be pretty good to solo it.

Everything I'm seeing only says 50 if you're upgrading straight from the Pink Rathian horn. Moreover, it's only 60 if you buy/forge the Gold version and then upgrade it. Where are you looking that says you need 80?

In that case, I know there's a slicing shot for bowguns, how well does it work? I'd prefer to keep using ranged weapons, since I already took the time to craft my gunner set.

You can get pretty far without a cutting weapon; I needed exactly one Barroth Tail with my offline run using Hunting Horns, to upgrade one of my horns. At some point you're probably going to want a different weapon anyways, so it never hurts to give the cutting weapons a try. Greatsword and Switch Axe are standouts for getting tails, while Dual Swords and Sword & Shield are much more difficult, if not impossible on some monsters.

Don't lances and gunlances deal both cutting and impact damage? I was thinking about trying out gunlance, since the one available in the DLC is supposed to be quite good. My current endgame plan is to go for either the Kelbi or a high elemental bow, which should work fine.

Sending your fleet to the Moga Deep (***) has a 5% chance per reward to get 2 small golden fish. Load up your guys with fish finders and you should have plenty after a 6 cycles or so.

I played a lance almost exclusively in Tri, and it was challenging to get tails sometimes but definitely doable. I left them and Long Sword out because they're not exceptional, really. I think SnS and DS deserve special mention because they are extremely difficult to get tail carves with, due to their very limited reach.

You should save it for something better than that at least. The big ticket items are Shakalaka masks and dances. I'm annoyed at how infrequently anything bigger than a royal ludroth shows up in free hunt. I've got all sorts of stuff unlocked that I've never even seen in the forecast.

Gunlances have a weaker standard up attack, but there moving/rising slash and upswings hit harder and higher than the normal lance. Also they hit harder and faster when the monster is on their side and you can do the standard ground stab-stab-shot-stab-stab-shot combo off.

The forecast does seem a bit tilted in favor of the 'baby' monsters. I've seen lagiacrus once on the forecast and I was in multiplayer so by the time I finished the quest there, the day had passed and it was back to jaggis and qurupecos.

Yar, lances/gunlances are tougher to cut tails with than GS/LS/SA, but it's still perfectly doable.

So I just learned that Joe can seriously hurt the Peco (and presumably other monsters), since the crimson peco is a MASSIVE loving rear end in a top hat on that mission and calls Joe over every two loving seconds, I decided to just forget the dung bombs and let them duke it out. Pros: Joe did half the work. Like I barely hit the Peco at all, and Joe landed the finishing blow and broke both his flints. Cons: Being that he contributed so much, he decided to stick around for the post-victory screen and didn't let me get my carves at all.

It's really obvious that Plesioth's moveset in the water was made more recently, he has tells and the animations are much smoother. On land he's a complete dick and the hitboxes are absurd (they have to be because he's so tall he'd never hit anything otherwise), and his tail swipes have no tell whatsoever. I don't know why they didn't just make Plesioth rath-sized. It's a pretty weak monster and it doesn't even have a proper roar, yet I'm limited to hitting his feet and being punished for that with his crazy hitboxes.
