Hunt monsters, that is the entire point of the game, well and autistically crafting armor at endgame but you'll get there later. For weapons it is all about what is fun for you. Each weapon has strengths and weaknesses but they are all viable. Try each one out to see what is enjoyable for you. Early on you may want to focus on 1-2 weapons to cut down on farming for materials, but that is up to you.

Lance, Greatsword and Hunting Horn are objectly the most fun weapons.

why what's wrong with it?

I tried Sword/Shield Greatswords and Lance and didn't like the short range of the sword, how clunky the greatsword was and the lack of rolling with the lance

I tried the Guns and kinda liked them, but don't want to keep shelling out for ammo atm

Because tripping everyone when you are using the Spirit Combo not only is annoying, it will decrease your team overal DPS when the monster gets KO'ed or trapped and everyone goes ape shit.

Using it offline is perfectly fine, sure, but online? and fighting small monsters? hell no

No there isn't.
It's generally just better if you pick a different weapon for multiplayer.
Granted it might be possible with a large(er) monster with multiple hit points (Lao, Shen, Hermitaurs, Ceanataurs, etc.)

Being a LS user I know both the ends, giving and receiving.
It hurts inside to know that I got to HR solely from using a LS and sometimes a bow.
>>
>>255596109
MH3U has clunky underwater combat, 4U doesn't and also has two new super fun looking weapons, as well as fluid movement and more monster variety. 4U also has online functionality.

I suggest waiting for 4U just because Smash Bros is coming out soon and you'll be able to occupy yourself with that first.
>>
>>255595674
You use your vertical attacks You have an infinit combo; use it X-X-A-X-X-A-etc. You only every use spirit guage attacks when there's a massive opening and you're not going to trip the shit out of people.

>>255596148
There's knowing discretion to not trip everyone who are also fighting the monster and knowing when and where you can get spirit combos off without fucking it up.
>>
>>255595674
There are ways to avoid being tripped but unless you are playing with your friends you will most of the time stumble with players that wont give a damn about tactical positioning.

Large monsters allow LS users to position far from other players, but when you are fighting a Zinogre/Qurupeco/Narga or any medium to small sized monster the guy with the LS will trip everyone when using Spirit Combo

So "The entire monster"? Unless you're fighting something the size of Duramboros or Jhen, they will always be an extreme nuisance due to their attack arcs whenever using spirit combos and the fact that so many of them spam their X+A after every vertical, and it is wide as all shit. Even if you're focusing on the head, the radius of the swing is tremendous and is more prone to trip up everybody in the party than help.

Weapons I've tried:

>Sword and Shield
One of my favorite weapons. Takes a while to kill anything, but I love being able to attack swiftly and move around.

>Switchaxe
Second favorite. Everything dies so quickly.

>Hammer
I got to HR and then dropped it. It's a nice weapon, but I just can't get used to it properly. Whenever I'm not playing with my friends it's a mess. KOing monsters is really satisfying though.

>Dual Blades
Dropped almost instantly. I found them boring.

>Great Sword
Just like the hammer, satisfying but just not my cup of tea.

>Lance
Wasn't impressed, but I didn't really give it a chance. Maybe I'll reconsider someday.

>Hunting Horn
Just picked it up. I have the feeling that I won't use it for long, but who knows.

The one thing that makes underwater combat utter shit is the lack of any depth perception so it was hard to tell how close you were to a monster to attack it. Most underwater based monsters also dodged bowgun shots really easy because they don't stop moving and you're slow as shit in water.

If you moved faster in the water and there was a method is checking distance properly, it would be fine.

MHFU: Daimyo Hermitaur and Shogun Ceantaur, hands down. I almost shed a manly tear when they weren't in 3G, and I almost pooped a little when I heard they are coming back in 4G (FU had a tonne of cool monsters though, way better selection than 3G. Also, Chameleos gets an honourable mention too, if not for the crabs he'd be my favourite)

MH3G: Nibblesnarf is pretty awesome, I like the idea of a Turtle/Mudpuppy/catfish monster.
I really wish they would dial it back a bit with the "spiky dragon-ish" style monsters. MonHun needs more variety in the enemies, FU had all sorts of different shit, and 3G feels like it should be called "Dragon Hunter"
>>Favorite Zone
MHFU: Great Forest / Tower
I really love deep, lush, colourful forests, but the Tower gets huge bonus points for just being a really cool looking, interesting area with lots of stuff to look at and think about. It feels like it is actually the remains of an old civilization.

MH3G: Misty Peaks, hands down.

Monster Hunter really needs to focus on having more fleshed out, cooler areas with more variety and colour.
Honestly, I'd even just be happy if they started porting forward all of the old maps with a retexture just to try and add a little more variety.

This is bad advice depending on the gunlance type you're using. If it's Spread, then by all means do exactly that. For Long you really want to use shelling as combo extenders for poking, and to a lesser extent much the same for Normal, but with a greater focus on slamming and full bursting.

It is CONSIDERABLY easier than Tri though. Even with just the Greatsword or SnS, Great Jaggi dies a good 3 to 5 minutes earlier than it does in Tri, and this is the prevailing experience all throughout the game. Also pretty sure that's where the Barroth nerf started.
>>
>>255618654
The Barrioths were nerfed based on Tri hunter reception.

>>255618654
Giving the beginner monster a less obnoxious amount of health means the whole game is easier? You sure about that m8?
>>
>>255618341
Actually it is, alot easier in fact. The defense system is so screwed up that nothing can harm you except for a select few monsters. Raw damage was ruined and made more casual thanks to removing the class and elemental divider. Monsters stagger twice as fast as they did in MH3 and also exhaust slightly faster. The only fights I have ever even died once to in MHP3rd was Green Narga, Brute Tigrex, and Ukanlos. Not including event and custom quests.

The Barroth/Barioth nerfs were too extreme, no matter what way you look at it. Barioth especially so since it went from an actual threat designed to trip up veteran hunters to a weak ass pussy cat that trips if you so much as sneeze at him. Hell, if you flash bomb him he doesn't even start leaping around the area anymore, he just sits still and takes a beating.

Barroth was done slightly better but honestly the extent he was nerfed to did a lot to throw away his title as the game's first wall.

Longshot Gunlances are true gunlances since they demonstrate the actual gameplay very well.

Yes, Gunlances are multiplayer-unfriendly but that is easily remedied by uppercut -> shell. Doesn't work as much anymore in 4 unless you have a strong resentment towards Glaivers.

Only ever played MHFU btw (love it)
>>
>>255620145
The very first thing that happens when calculating the damage a weapon does is to divide by that arbitrary number.
Previously, for example, a hammer might have a damage rating of 520, greatsword 480, lance 230 etc and a respective divider of 5.2, 4.8 and 2.3. So you hit a monster and what happens before anything else in the damage calculation is that hammer is divided by 5.2 down to 100, the greatsword by 4.8 down to 100 and the lance by 2.3 down to 100. MHP3rd simply removed this bullshit and labelled all the weapons with 100 damage.
>>
>>255620440
Capcom made Glaive's sharpness mediocre to bad in order to encourage hunters to polevault often.
>>
>>255619815
>>255620104

So spread GUNlance have more damage potential(using more shots than poking), long is for gunlance (poke shot poke shot) and normarl gunLANCE is for more poking and less gunning and have little damage but is more acceptable online?
>>
>>255620931
Yep.
>>
>>255620749
Are you kidding me? Have you even played MHP3rd or are we talking about different games? I know what the divider is. You can't deny how much shit staggered and died without blinking an eye. No amount of wiki pulled information is changing that.

No it was still retarded because of how awful they got the base raw values wrong. Look back at HBG, they gave it the same raw damage of LBG. Stop being a fucking idiot and actually look at the raw values if you know the formula so much you blind wikia using idiot.

That's a problem with the health thresholds on the monsters.

The weapon damage is mechanically the same between classes as it was in games before and after.
You said the divider was absolutely needed, I'm just saying that it ultimately hasn't changed. That doesn't mean that there weren't balance issues elsewhere in the game.

Yep. That said, poking isn't bad, especially if you're using Queen Panoply on a poison weak monster or have the right elemental weakness, it's just on the lower end of the weapon's absolute damage potential. Compared to other weapons it sizes up just fine. Top level Spread with Load Up and Artillery Lv.2 just decimates everything, but people in multiplayer will absolutely hate you for using it because they'll be sent flying for 50% of the hunt. Given that shelling was boosted and poking nerfed in 4U, this chart will become especially relevant very soon.

That said, proper usage and timing of Wyvernfire and Full Burst on a Normal don't put you too far behind. Fun fact: Full Burst adds a 1.1x damage modifier to your Normal shells. With Load Up, you've essentially got 1.2x (six shells rather than five) on top of 1.1x (full burst) on top of 1.2x (Artillery Lv.2)

Long gunlances are the most balanced of the three, though, in terms of multiplayer friendliness and gameplay style. Decent charge shot damage, no bonus OR negative shell modifiers on full burst, and its boosted move is entirely unrelated to your shelling in general.

To be honest I never really use Guard 2 that much. It encourages too defensive a playstyle. Learn to dodge and you'll almost never need to guard. Evasion +1 or Evade Extender can help very much.

If you're running a Spread gunlance and mostly using shelling, then sharpness doesn't matter a whole lot either.

Artillery is a five slot skill, pretty easy. Loading is where the pain is considering it takes two slots to get one point and three slots to get two. I highly suggest rummaging through your talismans to find that.

Unfortunately I can't really suggest a set without a whole lot of mix-matching, because there is literally not a single Blademaster set that actually has Load Up on it and Artillery is such an easy skill. Grab Athena and see what you can dig up.

You beat him into the threshold for capturing while he was still in the trap and had tranqs applied to him. That's always been possible.

>>255625680
the tranq bomb is a sort of debuff that lasts some seconds. i always pre-tranq and then get them in the trap. insta-nap
>>
>>255625680
Here's how it works.
Tranquilization is a status effect. Each bomb builds it up, but over time it fades. You require only that the monster be below a certain threshold of health and above a certain threshold of tranquilization, as well as being captured. The order these things happen doesn't matter. You could tranquilize a monster before it steps into a trap, and then beat it to death and cause it to sleep -- all within a very short time frame, mind you -- and it would still work.

I suggest waiting to see the monster limp, or getting the Capture Guru skill and watching the monster's icon on the map if it's painted to see if it's flashing before actually attempting capture. These will yield the most consistently positive results.
>>
>>255625680
These will be completely arbitrary values but it's how I've always experienced tranqs to work.

Imagine that each tranq bomb gives the monster 55 points of 'tranquilized' status and that once a monster falls into a trap, critically injured and with at least 100 points of that status, they get captured.

Every few seconds the amount of status the monster has amassed from your tranqs decreases, so if you wait too long to trap, the monster won't be captured.
And you can just throw two tranqs a few seconds before trapping the monster and it will also instantly fall asleep.

With a 1 slot weapon, you can get away with using a 3 slot charm, but with 0 weapon slots, there are like 23 charms that can yield this set, and none of them seem to be super rare. Although if you skip out on Speed Sharpener you literally don't need any weapon or charm slots to make it. Also it's typically like 80% Vangis armour so it's super easy to make.

For heavy bowguns, it will be the ability to pre-load Wyvernfire Shots and then use them at any point in time without switching ammo types.

Well your last quest of Low Rank ends with a super relaxing, atmospheric bullet sponge fight, while your first quest of High Rank begins with a frustrating rape-tastic introduction to Subspecies that will feel like you just started the whole damn game over again. Only without any gathering quests.

>>
>>255636494
Subspecies are reskin monsters with a twist. You will notice just how different they can be right off the bat despite looking almost entirely the same.
>>
>>255636494
>it takes like fucking 30-40 minutes

it sounds like you're doing something wrong. are you focusing your damage on the monsters' weak points? are you keeping your favorite weapon type fully upgraded? do you know all the moves your weapon has? you should be doing everything sub 20 minutes, save maybe duram because he's a huge health sponge

if you haven't been there, kiranico.com has hitzones for all monsters, it helps a shitload
>>
>>255636494
Also for the record, Duramboros is weak to poison and fire. When he starts spinning, roll in between his tail spins, because it'll only hurt you if you're at the outer edge. Start tickling his feet and he'll fall over. Attack his humps for maximum pain.

You could also try getting Arko Nulo (r) and spamming arrow rain on his humps. That drops quest time down to like 25 minutes from 40.

He's probably talking about Duramboros in particular.

Because Japan doesn't need online to play Monster Hunter socially. You can't trip over a crack without crashing into a kid, a salaryman, 3 pregnant women and 2 shiba inu playing Monster Hunter. Only console versions ever had online, for obvious reasons. But the series producer knows just how important online is for the series to thrive in the West, so lo and behold Monster Hunter 4 / 4U are the first portable games to have online built in.

Presumably this is for the Greatsword, and therefore you will eventually gravitate to Nero's Anguish, which has one slot.

>>
I like the Hammer, Great Sword, HBG, Bow, S&S, DS, Gunlance, and Longsword. I'm terrible with a lance and hunting horn is shit in MHF2/U. The problem I have with lance is basically that the dodge step feels odd after every other weapon (cept Gunlance) just simply having a roll. At least Gunlance has a slightly larger dodge step so it is easier for me to get into.

Only really played MHF1 & MHF2. Really need I only play offline so my opinions are biased. I like the longsword not for speed or power but really the ability to strike enemies without having the weapon bounce once you get the Spirit Gauge maxed. Later on in the game this is incredibly useful for when you need a skillset that doesn't offer Sharpness +1 and need to inflict high damage/break a part on a wyvern that has many areas that cause you to bounce. Hammers are my favorite for speed mostly followed by Great Sword which I didn't really use till I got up to Rathalos and Rathian since I wanted the tail cut and high power. Frankly I now love the Great Sword but have realized you should only use it if you can land a level 3 charge reliably on the wyvern you are fighting and when you should combo/draw slash. S&S I only restarted using due to some of the weapons having high element/status like Eternal Slayer/Sandman Spike. Same for DS but only element. I use Scatter bows on much smaller wyverns (yian kut ku to rathalos size) and Pierce on larger ones (think Gravios/Plesioth). I think Rapid is always garbage. HBG is fantastic on tons of wyverns and allows you to rip through things like Shen Gaoren in a fraction of the time.

I can't understand people who only use 1 weapon type since I only play offline. It just seems retarded since a lot of weapons that may be great for one wyvern are terrible for another. And whole weapon types are just stupid to bring against certain wyverns.
>>
What is the key difference between Light and Heavy Bowgun? Which is better for long distance sniping, and which has higher damage potential?
>>
>>255657701
>Sniping

Key differences are that Heavy Bowgun makes you slow as fuck like the GS but you can set it up to kill harder than the Light Bowgun can.
>>
So is are the Gunlance and HH still going to be shit in 4U?
>>
>>255591158
Why is that man wielding your mother's dildo as a weapon
>>
>>255657701
none of them work for sniping

all bow shots go into the pierce/pellet range
>>
>>255658931
forgot to mention, pellet green zone is also the 3-5 zone, which is unexpected
>>
>>255657701
HBG relies more on pierce and normal ammo and is slower while the LBG relies on elemental damage and is obviously more mobile. With bowguns you don't want to be long distance. With ranged weapons there's a set range to shoot at from the monster to fire at them for maximum damage, the further you are away the less damage you do. HBG have higher raw, but a rapid fire LBG isn't anything to take lightly.

Maybe if you're a retarded who doesn't know how to hit twice and then put it back and wait for the next opening.

Also I have to correct myself. The Bow in MH3U is by far the easiest weapon. With Cha Cha or Kayamba distracting the monster you just stand there for 80% of the fight and shoot arrows or drop them from the sky,
>>

>>255656758
There are three primary goals to the game:
Collect shit (requires grinding)
Git gud (requires experience)
Have fun hunting shit (requires hunting monsters)

All of these boil down to the same action. Hunt monsters. To collect shit you need to repeatedly hunt monsters to get their parts. To become skillful and proficient in your chosen weaponry, you need to hunt a LOT to get plenty of experience. Hunting monsters is both a method and a goal unto itself.

These games have a story of sorts, but it revolves around "hunt monsters to git gud, then when you're gud enough, hunt these monsters to save the village" and tends to finish and you've typically accomplished the task set before you not even halfway through the content. After that hunting monsters is purely collectionism, accomplishment and fun.

But some people... some people will only see the grinding.

Tri was great back when it still had online, P3rd was easy as hell and pretty boring honestly, only thing good is the hot spring and farm.

Okay, you know Charge Attack III? In 4U, you can press R just as the sword goes in and the energy charges to pull your sword out at the last moment. This leaves the energy charged in the shield, and causes it to glow red.

This is the Elemental Boost State. How long it lasts depends entirely on how many phials you boosted into the shield. In this state, certain attacks gain increased damage - like the new Shield Thrust, for instance. Blocking is also improved in this state. Whether this means it will not drain sharpness to block, or you are considered to have Guard+ or Guard Up, I do not know. But in this state, your Charge Attack III move is replaced with that new move seen >>255632628 . Not only that, but you can directly combo the new Shield Thrust into axe mode to perform the new Super Boost Charge Attack.

Got one in mind? Because I'm lookin 'em up and while some do technically have tails, at most it's like a backside that curves upwards slightly or a little stinger sticking out the end. Not like fuckin prehensile stabby shit as scorpions have.

Perhaps beetle was one of the design inspirations for Seltas Queen, but she's very, very obviously Scorpion-ish as well.
