Is a higher or lower coefficient good?

Higher is better.

Same applies to hitzones, higher means you deal more damage.

Any good resources I should watch our read pre world? I've only got like 5 or 6 hours of MH3U on 3DS as my experience of the series and forgot a lot of that.

If rather not be THAT guy on day one.

GaijinHunter has been putting up some pretty in-depth videos. I'd watch the ones about the weapon types, for sure, because he goes over combos, specific weapon mechanics, and general tactics.

Nothin' about hugs, though
I remember using the charge blade during the beta and thinking this is the weakest weapon. But I think it was because I was only using the shield charge and forgetting how to charge the blade.

It's cool. A buddy of mine didn't realize the greatsword had a charge mechanic at all during the beta.

Despite the improvements in World MH as a whole still has a learning cliff rather than a curve. I wonder how much tutorial/learning resources will be in the final game.

I'm going to guess quite a bit as it seems like they're trying to push the series into the mainstream. I do hope it's skipable though because even the hour or so of minor gathering quests you have to do at the beginning of every current MH puts me off of making new characters to mess around with.

Canceling out of a attack to charge a thing is such a monster hunter mechanic.

I'm not good at self-imposed limits and I need progression to stay invested in a game. I burn out on MH pretty quickly once I hit the last series of G rank hunts. If they managed to create a challenge roguelike-ish mode for Monster Hunter with permadeath I'd probably play a thousand hours of that.

To make a male or female. I make my secondary once I reach a point where I did pretty much everything on my main and want to see all the female armors for example.

I generally pick male or female to start and stick with one character. Sometimes I pick well, as the armor sets are usually more badass on one model than the other. Sometimes I pick poorly and think about rerolling after seeing more sets in game.

I have a decent track record though.

I'm sure Chatty McSidekick will spend the first hour telling you what to do and where to go. I'm also sure she'll also pipe up when certain mechanics, like capturing, are introduced. In terms of basic stuff like what to combine, or what weapon moves you have, you carry an in-game instruction manual with you at all times. Want to know where to hit a monster or what it drops? There's now a gameplay mechanic for finding that out. I'm the captain of Team gently caress Internet Research and I love all the things this game does to remove that particular annoyance. The only thing missing is motion values and if you're that deep into tryhard territory then accessibility features are probably not your concern.

Gathering quests are now extra, optional sidequests you do while you're doing the quests (or free roam) that you actually want to do. If you want maximum not-tutorial then I think they've said you can turn off your sidekick entirely as well.

Free roam and discovering camps is cool as gently caress. Meeting fishing buds while you are hoarding honey is cool as gently caress. World is going to loving rule.

There's supposed to be a Capcom stream talking more about the game today isn't there? I think there's going to be some new information and footage.

Edit: It's actually in about half an hour from now. The youtube link has a countdown timer.

It's free at least, so it isn't like Capcom is trying to fleece anyone. Perhaps they just didn't have the time to get all the Jho-related gear, quests and map interactions in the game in time for release date.
