Gypceros playing dead and then 1-shotting me when I foolishly tried to carve him is the best and funniest thing I've seen in a Monster Hunter game.

what is the forward dashing attack for the LS being talked about in the OP? Is it hitting R after your fade slash because that doesnt result in a net gain in forward motion, it just puts you back where you were before.

It's more for better positioning and a good spirit combo starter than forward movement.

Is there some way to change the skills my cats have? Or equip skills to my ace at least?

I had a quest to fight two of those and forgot that when you kill one monster it says "1 monster left" and I got two carves off of him before he freaked me the gently caress out. it looks really deranged once you smash it up a bit.

Experienced this today and it was the most incredible thing. It completely blindsided me. On the other hand, Gypceros can also be a complete arsehole. PSA: If you're doing the "Capture Gypceros" multiplayer quest, BRING A PITFALL TRAP OF YOUR OWN. Apparently the bastard can steal your items. And yes, that includes the EZ Pitfall Trap the quest gives you. There doesn't seem to be a way to get it back either (I checked the cat colony area). But it was okay, because my partner brought along a Shock Trap! Oh... it's immune to Shock Trap.  We had to abandon and restart.Apart from that experience I've been having an absurd amount of fun with this game. The monster variety even this early on is absurd! And being able to hold a charge on the hammer while climbing up and down small ledges just feels so good.

New-ish player with a quick (and probably stupid) question. Still on the first town so this isn't really a factor yet, but the OP was a little unclear: do Gunlances share regular Lances' "blunt OR cutting (for purposes of specialized drops)" trait?

muike posted:This is my first monster hunter game and I'm still working my way through the weapon tutorials (i'm going to have this motherfucker on lock when i find him in the wild) and what're some good tips for not making other peoples' experiences worse when I play online? I'm sure it's not to the same extent as a DOTAlike but a noob has got to be a loving burden in MH. Also dont go into multiplayer with a bunch of mismatched armor unless you've gemmed it out to give you relevant skills.

Bread Set Jettison posted:Also dont go into multiplayer with a bunch of mismatched armor unless you've gemmed it out to give you relevant skills. LR and most of HR a mismatched armour set is fine, unless it's giving you some nasty negative skills. There's no need to farm out a set early in the game, just play and have fun. Focus on upgrading your weapon and make whatever armour you can with the parts you have left. My advice is: don't use a weapon which trips other players unless you REALLY know how to use it to minimise tripping (Charge Blade, Longsword, Insect Glaive), don't attack monsters which are being mounted by other players, be aware of whether it's a kill or capture quest, keep your health bar in good shape so you don't cart.

Whenever doing solo capture quests, I always bring the proper type of trap (or both if both will work) + the stuff to craft a new one on the fly in order to maximize chances of actually getting the cap.

I'm guessing unstable expeditions aren't supposed to be done solo cause drat. I was not expecting a kut-ku to just show up out of nowhere when I'm trying to fight a ketcha.

I built a hammer out of the new HIV Dragon. Yet I don't really notice anything new with the disease debuff. I seem to be able to walk through it fine and stand in it and suffer no ill effects and the dragon dies before even leaving the zone. Also my hands hurt like hell because of how small the Original 3ds is. I never had this problem playing MH on the PSP.

I can't beat the Gypceros, he swings around too fast not to get hit with melee weapons, and his poison just destroys me when I try to use ranged.

The Taint Reaper posted:I built a hammer out of the new HIV Dragon. Disease gives you a bar that slowly fills (fills more when hit with more disease attacks) and you either: 1) Attack enough that it removes the bar and gives you an temporary attack boost (not sure on numbers here) or 2) The disease bar fills and leaves you with a debuff that makes disease attacks hit for way more damage and also removes your ability to heal red HP

Sudden second monster out of nowhere quests are kind of a series staple. If you haven't played 3, look up "Deviljho". Don't worry, they're soloable, you just have to be pretty careful. A good way to deal with it is to use Bomb Casings and Dung to make Dungbombs, then toss the poop at one of the monsters. It speeds up the chance that they'll separate into different areas.

There's two things I don't actually like about this game, but they're quite small. The first is you can't put account items into the red box any more. The second is how Palico morale works. I wish there was a way to keep the hired ones coming with you permanently jazzed like your Ace palico. The rest of the game is nothing but a bunch of amazing improvements so far. It's so good.

Haha holy hell I forgot how amazingly fun Hammers are. I decided to craft the drill hammer and when I did I saw that I would need another two horns from the stupid bug to upgrade it, So I equipped the Drill and had at him. I went from 10 mins of frustration chasing him around to an absolute SLAUGHTER, killing him in 2 minutes flat taking 0 damage. It felt a bit like bullying to be honest...

Yeah, virus attacks are just a more direct means of a pattern check, as opposed to, yaknow, just not getting hit- you have to also be able to keep up the pressure instead of playing super defensively. If you can't, you get punished. If you can, you get rewarded with extra attack at the cost of a bit of hp. Also, to be more specific the "Immunity" status increases your affinity, not your direct damage. Focacciasaurus_Rex fucked around with this message at 16:42 on Feb 15, 2015 |

Also all of gore Magalas weapons are metal as gently caress. I'm surprised they have skulls on them but I guess that's only a taboo in china, not japan

What makes rare expeditions different from regular ones? Better drop rate on weapons/armor? Also, what are cathangea seeds/plants for? Wycoon brings them up sometimes, but I can't tell if they're just for selling or not.

The addition of monster cutscenes is a great touch E: especially because I made my dude look smug as gently caress. "greeting zinogre heh you cant get me behind this wall heh he heh"

After like a billion Great Jaggi hunts I think I'm finally done harvesting frills. Got my full suit of Jaggi Armor, a Jaggi Mask (which looks fuckin' boss but breaks my set bonus, RIP) and the weapons I wanted that required frills. Guess it's finally time to move forward to another monster that I can hunt obsessively for days.

What's a good early game Babby's First Gunner Set? Jaggi has Reload+, but none of the other sets at 2*/3* seem to have anything useful by way of skills.

It's also worth pointing out that the lance cutting vs. impact damage thing only happens if I think it's something like (0.7)*(Impact Damage) > Cutting Damage, so you're not going to find yourself hitting impact all that often. I don't remember the exact fraction, but do note that it's not the full value of the impact damage equivalent.

Actual question, I'm told from the video in the op that 80% of bowgun usage is knowing where and what monster weaknesses are. Is that knowable in game besides through experimentation or am I gonna need to FAQ it up?
