I made a light bowgun equipment set with God's Isle (got it after a recent volcano harvest tour) and hunter's set S. I plan to join lowbies and help them out without hard-carrying them. I dunno if this is a good idea but it sounds fun.

My favorite part of farming Dah'ren Mohran is choosing whether I'll afk on the boat, or after the boat crashes. Who designs a fight so if you do it quickly you don't get carves? I realize it's almost certainly not intentional but someone should have caught that.

Mango Polo posted:Finally got around to picking up 4U, two questions now. You can rock out to make yourself move faster, never bounce, hit harder, get hit less harder, not use stamina, give yourself earplugs, sonic bomb enemies, ignore hot or cold environments...heck, on some horns you can even improve your elemental or status damage. Or heal. Some horns even have free heals. I mean, not all that stuff at once, but look at the last two pages of a horn's stats and it'll tell you every song that horn can play. My current-ish favorites are White, Red, Blue or White, Green, Light Blue. I just built my first purple note in 4U so I'm still learning those songs. Nevertheless, if you're just starting out and have a healing horn, being able to duck out to play Green, White, Light Blue, Green can save you a ton of money and resources early on. Eventually you stop ducking out to play and just hit the monster with those notes, wait for an opening, and play'em while he's after your cat or something. After that you don't even wait for the monster to attack your cat and just attack with the recital. Healing and damage at once? Oh, yeah, and knockouts. Nothing in the game is more satisfying that encoring an attack up song (White, Red, Red) and timing the flourishes just right to smack a charging Rathian in the face to knock her out cold. Now she's down, and you hit harder. Also you can hunt monsters with a giant electric bass guitar.

I've ordered a copy of the game after playing the demo a few times. I like how they let you try out all of the weapon classes. I know that if they had just given me, say, Great Sword, I would have just totally written off the game, as I can't use that thing well at all. So far I think the weapon I can handle best is the Bow but I'm not sure if this is the kind of game where you can pick one weapon class and stick with it. Charge Blade is really cool too. I really wanted to like the Lance but the way you move with it feels really counterintuitive to me - I'll try to dodge to the side and instead I'll hop back.

One day you will discover that the simplicity of the great sword infact owns There is no bad weapon in this game, just weapons that are harder. Bow and CB are actually considered pretty difficult and the bow in the demo is an especially special and weird bow. Charge blade is pretty technical but a lot of people like it (I have given up trying to be good at it). Try everything if you do get the game an have the opportunity. If you find something thats really interesting, check the OP because it has a bunch of very indepth tutorials on each weapon. Playing a new weapon is like playing an entirely new game.

I wish I had known about DS grips before I was resigned to waiting a year or two for a console release, then this game went from 'gently caress I wish I could play without horrible hand pain' to 'MONSTER HUNTER!  'Now I'm two weeks behind all the goon hunters  How much of this game is online only?

None of the online quesrts are quests that you HAVE to do online, you could progress through the entirety of the game solo offline if you wanted to. That said there's a significant amount of dedicated off-line only missions in this game, but farm far far more designed to be played with 2-4 people.

Casnorf posted:Yes, yes, yes, yes, a thousand times yes. Hunting Horns are the One True Weapon. Just about the only thing they can't do reliably is cut tails, and even that I started doing in low rank in 3U just to annoy my buddies who constantly fight over who got the tailcut. Alright, I'm convinced. Also I've seen people mention weapon-specific tutorials in-game. Where do they appear? I've switched around weapons a few times but nothing special happened (yet).

The first stars quests are all literally called Training: Weapon Name, and they're good for practicing beating a Great Jaggi to death, plus you get some dialogue at the beginning. You also can always access weapon controls from the menu under Hunter's Notes at any time

I really wish they had done more with Kut-ku, Gypceros, Basarios/Gravios, and those other old timey monsters instead of copy-pasting them into MH4U. They feel so completely out of place compared to the newer generations of well-animated monsters that actually have sane hitboxes.

It may be tough to get through the entire game on just a bow. There are a handful of monsters that just zip around like assholes. Some of them aren't such large targets. Thankfully, the urge to try out new weapons is pretty organic. Charge Blade is good, and those two (well 2.5) very well may get you through.

Well, I was able to kill the demo Tetsucabra with the bow, on the Experienced setting no less, and I usually spend my time staring at its backside and getting flattened by it. So that's a good start as far as I can tell. I'll give a few things a shot when the game arrives.

Aside from the hipcheck monsters (which I guess intentionally have a dumb hitbox because I've certainly been hit by it when standing on the complete opposite side of where it's going), all of the Gen1-2 monsters actually do have an entirely revamped set of animations. Literally none of them have retained the two-point turn that Rathian and Rathalos kept, all of them have their own goofy stuff now, and a decent variety of new attacks.

It kind of blows that I basically need to make new armor again just for high rank just that I don't die in 2-4 hits. But whatever, Hermataur armor is awesome anyway. How come on some weapons, the element damage stay will be greyed out and not work? Can someone give me some pointers on making my Palicoes good? I keep sending ones I have out on Meownster Hunter missions and try only ever get a handful of scraps. Am I supposed to level them up and THEN send them on hunts?

Sard posted:The Yian Garuga breaks all gunners, in the end. I've been doing G rank Garuga runs with my HBG, and I'm one run away from finishing the armor when I stopped being able to find people running it. The trick to Garuga is the ignore your instincts and become the Garuga. Roll TOWARDS him when he charges you. You'll go right through his legs, and leave him looking like the idiot you used to look like.

So somethings not clear to me about weapons. I have an artifact DS with 182 attack, fire element 150 (but it's greyed out?) I have another DS upgraded to twin chainsaws and it has 140 attack, lightning element 80 (in blue) It's not really clear how to compare these two weapons though. What does it mean if the elemental damage is greyed out?

DisposableHero posted:It's not really clear how to compare these two weapons though. What does it mean if the elemental damage is greyed out? It means that element isn't actually there unless you have a very specific skill called Awaken that comes from FreeElement points. In the past there wouldn't be any greyed-out numbers for us to see so we'd have to look up if a weapon benefitted from Awaken or not. Basically, don't worry about those gray numbers. You probably won't be activating them any time soon.

I think I did the double velocidrome high rank hunt (which isn't that much harder than low rank) two or maybe three times for a full set of Velociprey S armor and it was very very worth it; doesn't take too long to get yourself in fighting shape for early HR stuff edit: also the game starts making GBS threads out armor spheres+ and advanced armor spheres in high rank if that's any consolation, you can upgrade that stuff real quickly

Is there a quick farm spot for Hercudromes (bugs)? I don't think Kiranico is fully updated for 4U yet, since it's still giving me old map names. Trying to make the Tetsucabra S armor set. Nevermind, found it! Didn't realize they had an entire new site for 4U. enojy fucked around with this message at 19:09 on Feb 28, 2015 |

I used to neglect the weapon, despite always having an easy time getting kills with it, because I didn't like the simplicity. I think they're in a good spot with it now. It's still incredibly simple. You "just" hit things with it, no meta-mechanics to gently caress with. It's just that now you have enough of a moveset to hit things with a tiny bit of variety.

Fauxtool posted:They are just not playing around you if its an issue. You need to be tripping everyone nearby to be doing your excellent damage. Other LS and GS are unaffected by your hit, and IG has armored moves if they are playing correctly. If a LS user is consistently hitting his full spirit slash he is also doing crazy damage. I am not sure if this is sarcasm or not, because I had someone in all seriousness argue that it was on the other people to not get tripped constantly by a LS user recently, rather than the LS user to, you know, not swing like a madman and trip up all their allies constantly. It was a bit surreal.
