One year later and now I want to hop back in, is there any point now? I was going to wait for XX on the Switch but it looks like that'll never come out in America and I need my MH fix.

You could always go back and get 4U. It's a lot more active online I believe too.
Everyone takes breaks. If you're feeling rusty, go out and do some lower ranked hunts to catch yourself up again, it'll eventually just become muscle memory.

Yes, that is the case, the main gimmick is completely optional.

It's not the same thing, it's like saying every game is almost impossible since you can do it without armor, your point also applies to XX so I don't understand what you were trying to achieve here.

>>most vets(i.e people who want to get the most out of the game and get the awards) will do all the quests and in turn have to do all the shitty gathering quests
Not the game's fault you were diagnosed with autism. 99% of players won't try to complete all quests

I also carved a Teostra Gem earlier from a High Rank quest, so that was nice.

I've been getting back to 4U, and i don't know what drove me back, but my save file is a mess right now, I am working to get more money and points, I am forging new weapons and armos as well as increading the item combo list because I learn all this in Gen and decide to play 4U properly. right now im using a poisonous Battleaxe SnS and is giving me an easy time with the monsters and also because i can maneuver better with that weapon.

people still play 4U and some are still in Rank 5 or less, there will always be players wanting to increase rank and also G rank players able to help just to kill time.

>>388292160
Worlds took things from hunter arts and implemented into the weapon combos, it is a good thing to be honest, it makes the hunting a lot more dynamic and less distracting from seeing if your arts bar is filled
>>
>>388291783
Playing the game how you played it in 4U is shooting yourself in the foot? The game accommodates that playstyle, you are free to use it, you are free to not and complain about how the other styles are easy mode.
>>
>>388291783
>Turns on baby mode
>"fuck why is this game so easy??"
Also, the game is balanced around not using arts and styles, so not using them isn't shooting yourself in the foot.

Also you admitted to using arts and styles even though you dislike them while also calling the game easy, your argument is invalid.

HR7 is definitely a challenge, at least it was for me, considering 4U's my first MH game. The Seltas S armor paired with the Brach CB actually got me through most of HR7, but I ended up using the Seregios GS to take on Dalamadur and Ukanlos.
If you really need money, I usually just end up selling ore because I always end up with hundreds of the stuff. I stayed in HR for a very long time before finally getting the courage to take on G. Hall. Just don't sell Earth Crystals like I did and then have to go and farm a fuckton of them.
>>
>>388292504
right now I have Zinogre armor but i want to get Stiggy armor because it looks so cool and edgy but this fucker is hard to beat solo for me since I have to learn his moves still. Idk what armor is best for me that is passable for future quests but right now Stiggy is my goal
>>
>>388292640
I actually really recommend Stiggy armor, considering I ended up using it for a long time myself. Not to mention Evasion+1 is nice to have, and if you use a GS in the future, Fast Charge is always great.
>>
Does anyone want to play? Post a room if you do.
>>
>>388292796
GS? i don't know, i had a hard time using heavy weapons, i think CB is the only heavy weapon i got used to it, then again i need tails so I will give GS another chance, i just need to learn to be patient

>>388284626

That's smalltime. I've cut myself way deeper, many times, while training with different blades.

Wow, my save file is gone. I guess because I transferred my data to a different 3DS it deleted my save.

I would have been PISSED if I found out about that last year (I bought a new 3DS two weeks after I sliced my thumb open) I'm still pretty upset because I've lost 30 hours of progress though.

I guess I'll just wait for Monster Hunter World.

If you're comfortable using the SnS, go right ahead and use it m8, it's definitely a good well rounded weapon, and if you like to use it and have fun using it, that's all that really matters.
>>
>>388293116
thank you anon, i feel like is very balanced and practical to use, almost like a beginners choice but I want to give it a try with gunner types, too. most my room quests everyone is melee and having a gunner never hurts for everyone. Maybe in Worlds i will dedicate my hunts to be gunner most of the time

>"Also you admitted to using arts and styles even though you dislike them while also calling the game easy, your argument is invalid."

>making hunt's longer and more tedious in an already shit game
Nope, not shooting yourself in the foot at all, and my argument is totally invalid.
>>
>>388293279
The SnS is for sure the beginner's choice weapon. It's lightweight and easy to use, and deals out a consistent amount of damage, though I haven't used it much personally.
I'm 400 hours into 4U and have done everything solo, so I don't know too much about hunting with others, mainly because I just don't want to end up being a shitter online.
>>

>>
>>388293860
>don't want to end up being a shitter online.
believe me, you will be at most the average to helpful, in my experience the others are shitters from attacking on your spot and block your combos, I came to the conclusion that the best experience is to hunt with people you get along and follow the plan word by word to have a succesful and faster hunt
>>
>>388293842
The hunts are basically the same in length as 4U without arts and styles you fucking idiot. Unless you're soloing the monsters meant to be fought in a group.
>>
>>388293860
Just hunt with people you know, or at worst hunt with /v/
Most people online don't give a fuck and finding people who are actually good is a crapshoot. At least most of /v/ is on the same wavelength of autism.

I don't know anyone that still plays 4U, and I'll be damned before I bother with the massive circlejerk over at /mhg/, who do nothing but argue and shitpost the same thing every fucking thread. I wouldn't say there's been too much that I thought "Yeah, I really need a group to do this". I think the closest I came was probably Tigerstripe Zamtrios, considering how much of a goddamn bastard he is.

>>388294358
The Gen 1 monsters honestly are some of the most annoying to fight at times. Cephadrome needs to be deleted, and Gravios can go take a bath and drown.

>>388294537
Tigrex and Monoblos are fine for the most part. My biggest gripe with Tigrex is how wide his hitboxes can be, along with that near-instant charge shit he loves to do.

I've been playing the fuck out of 4U again because of World hype, started a new file to play with a friend that picked it up not that long ago, he's finishing up LR solo before we get past the Pink Rathian urgent, meanwhile I've almost completely run out of things to do in Caravan besides collecting weapons, besides the Elder Dragons and shit that don't show up until HR7.

Granted this is his first MH and he fucking started with HBG so I get why he's a bit slower, but still I just can't put this shit down again.

You know, the more I play, the more I'm really not minding this change.

>>388295684
Because it hardly matters. For single monster hunts you just don't change weapons. That'd be retarded. You just bring the optimal one from the start.
For multi-monsters it would only help to make element more viable. Or you could just use the highest raw for all monster, as the fucking usual.

I actually don't mind the Everwood, but yeah, once you run out of potions, you're pretty much fucked and unless you can dodge out of everything, you're better off just returning to town.
I'm a bit curious as to how normal hunts are going to take place now. I feel like it's going to be an inconvenience to have a Diablos show up every time you hunt a Barroth, or a Rathalos showing up for hunting an Anjanath, etc.

I just worry about there being a distinct lack of content. They said they're combining the village and the guild hall, and that makes me worry about the variety and number of quests in general, and I don't think G Rank has been confirmed yet either.

>>388296187
I'm G2 and only a handful of my weapons are fully upgraded.

I hope Worlds bring most of the 4U monsters sans the recolors, I really want to imagine what elder dragons will they bring, probably old ones but I want to see new ones too

>>388296070
The inevitable monster shortage is going to hurt it though

Tri only had like 5 monsters in moga woods, 3U had to expand it with monsters that normally never appear on the island like diablos
>>
>>388296380
Combining them is the only way the whole "Launch a flare to call friends to help" thing would really work. We'll see how it works out. They can have as many quests as they want, those take like no effort on their end to put together. The question is how many monsters will there be? They aren't even copy-pasting Rath's animations this time and they can't reuse 3DS models obviously.
>>
>>388295881
Finally a free hunt that feels free. Maybe world won't be as terrible as I think it will be though I'm staying cautiously optimistic.

>>388296063
For some reason I never found more than 5 monsters in the everwood. Part of me just thinks I was always getting unlucky and the 6th monster kept switching areas, but I couldn't be assed to use a phychoserum and check if that was the case.

I initially didn't like the look of World myself, but I think it might be because of getting caught up in all the shitposting on /v/. Having only played 4U, I don't know why I got so defensive about a franchise that I've only just started this year.

>>388296821
I'm an idort (I pretty much have to say that), but I'm still bummed out about it not coming to Switch, or at least not right now? Who honestly knows what Capcom is planning, they can be a very mysterious company at times. I didn't care much for a game like MH on a handheld at first, but it really did end up growing on me, and it's nice to be able to take it out and do a quick hunt every now and again.

Well they didn't do a good enough job revealing the game honestly. The stuff they're showing now should've been what they showed initially instead of that awkward trailer. I'm still not a fan of some skills being moved to mantles but if the rest of the game overshadows that I'll give it a shot. I won't completely write something off until I get my hands on it first.

splitting hairs here but i'd call it an expansion pack. they've discussed free dlc which is usually special quests. you'll have to pay for g rank when it comes out again.

Gen at least has plenty of monsters, even if it's overbloated. I think more people are worried about there only being Tri levels of monsters.
I'd figure they'd just make G Rank into a season pass or something though. I don't see how it'd be successful for them to release a separate game with G Rank, especially if they want to really grab the western audience.

>>388297364
I suppose to be fair, most of the first trailers for MH games tend to be a bit more cinematic in a way. But yeah, I agree. That trailer was just bad, and I don't know a whole lot of people that liked it.

>>388297618
Ignoring your retarded estimation of the price, yeah, I'd actually very much like G-rank expansion to be a DLC rather than a re-release. Because it would greatly help to keep the playerbase of the game whole, rather than splitting it up between two games.

That's why. He's some combination of boring and annoying to fight as a blademaster.

Adapting your gear to the monster you're fighting is, to some extent, normal. But Gravios is just irritating to hunt unless you pick up his exact weakness in both element and weapon-type.

I've played both 4u and gen to near-completion, the only thing setting me back in 4u is grinding double rajangs and 140 GQs for-fucking-ever, and in gen I'm stuck getting the barrage earrings because fuck arena quests, and fuck brachy in particular.

Go back and play 3U or FU maybe?

I finally went back to 3U and beat Lucy and G Jhen after 4 years, and it turns out underwater combat isn't so bad when only like 1 in every 10 quests even needs you to go underwater anyway.
>>
>>388302563
I actually don't own either of those. I got into the series with Tri and my second game was 4u. Would 3u really be a good investment considering getting used to weapons not having as many moves as they do now? Not like people who play gen/XX and then mhw aren't going to face the same issue, but...
>>
>>388302014
I always wanted some good endgame for monhun and liked the relic system a ton until you find out getting some of the best max relics require grinding hot monkey dick over and over. Really wish there was more variety when it came to relic hunting but that's the monkey paw for you.

>gen arena
I don't understand. Are you doing arena solo, partner sucking ass, or just genuinely do not like the selection given to you for some of the quests? Haven't played gen in a while but don't you only need to A-rank them to get the barrage earrings?
>>
>>388302885
Yeah, A-ranking them. I was doing most of my shit solo, and I figured arena would be the same. I guess I'm too much of a shitter to meet some of these time limits. The selections don't help, seeing as how some of them are unnecessarily gimped by either the skills or by the style you're forced to use, and I believe the defense for all of the armor given isn't very forgiving either. Ping's dex doesn't show the styles so I'm not sure which set has what style, but I tried nearly all of them and failed to beat brachy in under 10 minutes each time.

I looked at some rooms online at the time and I think I tried at least one or two, but failed, either in doing the hunt or finding a room, or making a room and have nobody be interested.
>>
>>388302823
All I can say is that if you want more MH, 3U is a fine investment. You're right that weapons have slightly fewer moves, and CB and IG don't exist, but it still plays fine. You can also download a PSP emulator and play FU for free. It's even clunkier than 3U, but still a good game.
>>
>>388303351
What's the best console to play 3u on, then? FU I think I can skip out on for the time being.
>>
>>388303215
Gen's arena Brachy gets fucked by the Bow option, just aim at the head or tail and use all the coatings you're given. Bombing him after using sleep coatings will probably slash a good minute or two off your time.
>>
>>388303483
Depends whether you want to play online or not. 3DS version only has local play, but since you have 4U and Gen I assume you already have one.

WiiU version has full online, but I don't know how populated it is, and I wouldn't recommend getting a WiiU just for 3U.
>>
>>388303540
Haven't tried the bow, was looking to get into it but never really came up with a good set to test it out before tryharding it out in arena. Managing coatings/ammo isn't really my strong suit, but if it wrecks brachy then I'll give it a shot.
>>
>>388303628
I already got a Wii U so getting one isn't a problem. I think the bigger problem might be finding a physical copy of the game, but if it turns out people still play the game then I'd be down to play it til endgame. It's not like anybody can't solo most of the stuff anyways, and not like any of it is locked behind needing a connection to access high rank or higher. Still, I'll look into it - it'll give the damn console some use instead of collecting dust.
>>
>>388303641
Coating management isn't nearly as bad as ammo management. Just slap those bad boys on there and shoot that slimy motherfucker till he's dead. When you run out of coatings just take a moment to put the next ones on. Don't forget to use the sleep ones to bomb him, it'll do massive damage.

I'm pretty mediocre at these games for amount of playtime I pump into them; or rather that's what I think of myself as others don't really complain about me very often. I got all my awards around september of 2016 in gen so I had plenty of people to do arena with who were aiming for a-rank but my advice would be to reach out to active communities for help. I won't name any in particular but I wouldn't do arena solo and I sure as shit wouldn't play with any pubbies at this point in the game's lifecycle as anyone with any interest/skill has long since left gen to sit on their hands for world or went back to 4U and refuse to play anything else. Barrage earring is worth it for mixing though, so don't give up!

See what Capcom should do is add in a number of monsters from each generation along with a new one or two. We still don't know the full bestiary yet, but if Kecha Wecha isn't in the base game, I'd definitely pay for his inclusion because I can't think of a better monster fight in the new environments. Also bring in Ash because it's better than base Kecha.

Ah rip, hopefully you're enjoy the game at least
If you're using a lot of potions in missions the one tip I can give is bring materials and craft things mid mission. Like honey/herbs/blue mushrooms for more mega potions or even more trap materials so you get extra free hits on whatever.

Capcom has consistently been surprised by the reception their games get from the PC market share. Dragon's Dogma in particular.

I'd do it the other way around, but most of my freinds are going to be on PS4 at launch so I'll experience it that way first.

>but the gathering mats part trips me up
You can occasionally buy trap tools from the merchant by the eastern bridge for like 100 each when he has a sale going on. Make sure you're upgrading your farm and getting mats from it after every mission. Make sure you're almost always planting 3x might seeds and fertilizing it with either dung you find in missions (doing a few dung runs in peaks is always a good idea) or high quality ash you get from cooking on the 10x spit. Might seeds are the highest value things you can farm and will be your main source of income allowing you to buy pretty much whatever you want.
>Hey how do I beat that lightning pokemon dude?
The one where you have to fight Zinogre mid mission? Don't have to kill him then, it's alright to run away and abandon mission since you still get mission complete for it. You do have the English patch right?

But why
>>
>>388318813
>Make sure you're upgrading your farm
I'm the other guy that just did the first urgent, how do you unlock more upgrades for the farm? Do they unlock after certain missions or hunter ranks or what?
>>
>>388318879
Gotta get them french people to buy the game. They fucking love their air time for some reason
>>
>>388318969
I think in P3rd you had to talk to the dude next to the entrance to the farm and buy upgrades with village points.
>>
Guys in mhgen on 3ds are you supposed to do the multiplayer quests or the town quests? I thought your goal is to lvl your hunter rank but by playing single player nothing changes. This really confused me in mh4 too
>>
>>388319115
I know that, it's just that I bought all the ones I could in the very beginning and didn't get any more availible ones.
>>
>>388318969
You can get upgrades to a certain point from village quests but the last few upgrades have to be unlocked through guild quests which are harder and usually meant for multiplayer
if you mean literally buying the upgrade then what >>388319115 said
you spend good boy points by talking to him and selecting renovate
if you're short on GBP then go to peaks through the gathering quest and the cave area
search the empty nest until you find a wyvern egg and turn that in the box for like 1200 points
then turn in the paw pass ticket to finish the mission and repeat
this is also a great way of getting dung since there's two dung spots in peaks, one on the moutnain edge in 2 and one in the caves near the nest
>>
>>388319238
Village quests are for solo play, some village upgrades and easier LR farm.
GH quests are for multiplayer (but can be soloed), and doing them makes you go up in the ranks.
>>
>>388318763
In Jewcom's defence, one positive about their PC releases is that they're absolutely fantastic ports. Seriously, take a look, it's all fully done KBM controls with at least 60 fps and HD resolutions.
>>
>>388319284
Don't quite remember. I think you just unlock them by progressing village/guild quests. Just do every quest at least once. That's what I always do in every game.
>>
>>388319308
>guild quests which are harder and usually meant for multiplayer
Wait a fucking minute
So those 2 girls next to the hot spring are meant for mp?
I'm supposed to do the quests for the elf girl first?
>>
>>388319710
yeah the two girls at the counter next to the old man are for guild quests
elf chief sitting on the bench are the much easier village quests and also where you unlock drink/spa/farm upgrades which you should do first
you also don't have to do all the quests, just the key ones
http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/MHP3rd:_Village_Quests
yellow/blue is key quest
>>
>>388319908
Well fucking shit, so I've been doing mp quests this entire time
No wonder the urgent Gigginox took half an hour
>>
>>388320085
Yeah, that would be a problem.

MP quests are perfectly doable solo,
even more so once you get accustomed to the monsters
>>
>>388317836
The biggest tip I can give you for not carting is knowing when to back out and heal, run to another goddamn room if you think you have to, but generally monsters really can't touch you if you're just sprinting around with your weapon put away, and you can wait for one of their longer attack animations to chug a potion.

What kind of stuff? All I know about the differences in X and 4U is the styles thing, and apparently you shouldn't use those because the stock style is how the game is meant to be played.
>>
>>388323941
Styles, Hunter Arts, a weird Weapon/Armor upgrading system, waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many mandatory gathering quests, and for some reason backloading all the monster variety so you fight the same stuff over and over again until near the very end.

4U's just a better game overall, but it's your call.

Yeah, figured out it probably needed 3 after I posted.

Fucking Gen apologists, the game's got fucking problems. Don't get me started on how retarded Deviant Tickets were, or how bad armor skills were distributed.
>>
>>388325196
Then what are you bitching about? Optional contend made exclusively for the sake of making grinding for materials easier that is no different from quests on other games like 4U? MHGen has problems but this is not one of them.
>>
>>388318382
I speak no japanese at all and it's still playable, only hard things are food buffs and armor skills
>>
>>388324868
Stop worrying about casualization; as the biggest casualization of the series happened when they introduced the monster stamina mechanic. It completely neutered half the mid game monsters.

What's the armour variety like in XX? One of my main problems with X is that you can barely mix 2 sets together because the game stopping at HR means that the amount of skill points you can get per piece of armour is incredibly low.

Coupled with the deviant system forcing you to wear the full set and having almost no gem slots on your armour means you can't fashion hunter at all.

I managed to scrape together some mixed Gore S/R but it's nowhere near the amount of variety I could get with 4U. I played about 4x as much 4U as Generations as well, oh well.
>>
>>388325889
there is g rank and there is transmog
>>
>>388325780
Guess I missed that, the game is complete shit now.
>>
>>388325889
Fashion isnt a problem because of Transmog, but you have to grind G Rank for that
>>
>>388325798
Did you not watch the trailers? The music sounds like complete shit, just generic orchestral trash.
>>
>>388325947

I heard that there's even less armour variety though because the preying mantis armour is so much better than everything else?
>>
>>388326127
The mantis set is like the Starknight set in 4U, it's good, but there are better mixed sets.

Please don't bring console war shit into this thread.

>>388325889
Transmog makes armor variety less of an issue, but since purple got nerfed just enough to keep sharpness+1/2 undesirable, weapon variety suffers from favoring high raw, natural purple weapons(like atoraru weapons, which have 3 slots to boot) and keeping infinite purple through absolute readiness

Funny thing about deviants though, you can't mog into or over their gear until you've beaten the respective super deviant, which also unlocks a special glowing pigment you can use on any set

>>388327890
Lao is so boring that he becomes actively shitty, it's even worse in XX now that he actually has a decent chance of destroying the fort when fought solo just because he's got too fucking much health to be killed in time

Shen gaoren at least had the courtesy to be fought in a single area even if it took him 5 whole fucking minutes to walk into it

Objectively? Magic Archer is really fucking broken, especially in tight spaces, but they're all viable for the whole game except for maybe Mage.

I liked Ranger a lot for sniping weakpoints and abusing Explosive Arrows but that's just me.

Assassin is the most fun class period. Avoid using daggers though, they're the braindead op weapon type.

The 6 skills was just the first change for Warrior.
The real glory in DDO is the Brace ability they get.
When you use it you go into a very short window of massive damage reduction, around 90% I think. So that finally gives Warriors a defensive option. Also builds up your rage meter which leads into big heavy hitting attacks as well.

I think it was teleport claws into a regular claw attack.

My copy of MH4U got stolen and I hadn't backed up the data so I had to start over. I'm HR4. Anyone want to create a room and play?

I'm pretty sure it saves into extra data on the SD card, so even if you lost the cartridge the saves should be intact.
>Anyone want to create a room and play?
You?

>>388336629
They weren't. Since I'm HR4 I had to start again clearly.

>Anyone want to create a room and play?
>You?

Yes I thought that was obvious. I meant play with me. I can create a room if people want to join.

It's been ages since I played 4U, but I guess I could hunt for a bit tonight.
>>
>>388336052
hmm, not sure how I feel about this. on one hand, the lance still seems pretty bland. on the other hand, those subtle additions might make me want to break away from the gunlance for a bit to try lance out
>>
>>388337791
The fag who made the video didn't mention it I think, but he did it once or twice in the video: Lance can counter after the third poke again
>>
>>388337924
yeah, I noticed he has missed details about weapons in other videos too. but if you're right, I'll definitely try lance out again in world. probably won't main it and it probably won't blow my mind but I do wanna try it out for a few hunts

>charge finisher no longer gets the retarded huge MV from striker style, probably has to get that big stupid running start before it becomes worthwhile
>no longer has any incarnation of the adept counter with the similarly huge MV
>but you can counter whenever again

Too little too late if you ask me

Charge spam for infinite flinches was retarded

But the hit as he barely got up was bullshit.

There doesn't seem to be any iframes anymore

>>388318879
Isn't it tres bien, mon chasseur?
>>
>>388339079
I agree, but lance was right there with hammer for a while as a weapon that really needed something new to keep up

The only really new thing there was the forward dash and the super guard that probably won't see much use unless they fucked with guard skills
>>
>>388339845
>a weapon that really needed something new
Nah
Going back to Tri counters is all it needed
Powerguard skill will be great if it lets you stonewall big stuff that even Guard +2 doesn't completely block
Plus sidestepping during charges is pretty handy
