Don't bully newfriends, /mhg/!

Been replaying MH4U today, I had forgotten just how good:
a) 60(ishmostly) FPS is
b) the monster introduction cutscenes, holy shit those transitions, and the caravan hunter is a fucking badass with all those expertly timed dodges and climbing shit into mounts
c) having an actual narrative rather than the long, unpausing 'errrrrrrrrrrr' of Gen (yes I know most people just ignore it, but it gives some sense of place and meaning to the quests rather than them just being quests)

I completely remembered how bad having to press A for every long, long gathering animation was. Why didn't they add holding A earlier.

>>184318352
You meant mostly 45fps when soloing against low rank monsters.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0sZJyCArfg

>>184318352
On the other hand 3U and 4U had the ability to press A to instantly scroll text or B to skip it, so I have to wonder why XXX didn't.

>>184318475
What I mean is 'more than 30fps'. Anyway, I can't decide on what weapon to use.

I actually completely forgot about having to keep pressing A and it's why I'm stalling on my new 4U file.
I don't get how the 4U team could know instinctively that Vouchers have no reason to be placed into your item pouch, but it's good design to make players keep pressing A.
Meanwhile, the Gen team is like, pressing A continuously to carve/gather is dumb, but why don't you take this Gourmet Voucher with you on your quest, I'm sure it'll come in handy.

Two steps forward, one step back with these people...

>>184318763
rathalos greaves x has edgemaster+3 for clowning purposes, and it needs the mantle.

What's the best thing I should be looking for in a HBG charm in XX? Attack, pierce up?

>>184320057
The key to big budget titles is just simultaneous worldwide release. For example Code Vein is pretty anime but it's more realistic anime and people eat it up. But GE wouldn't be "weighty" all of a sudden with more expensive animation because it goes against their formula, but it will be more fluid at least.

>>184320227
This too. Although the zenith style air dashes are much more realistic.

Why was every version of 3 basically a whole different game with mostly the same monsters

>>184320598
MH3G is the G rank version of MH3. MHP3 is the Portable spinoff of MH3.

>>184320598
But they introduce new monsters that look anime but are still AnimalPlanet-core regardless

>>184320646
Yes, I am aware

>>184319863
Because I can't guard with it and it has too few moves.

I don't think there'll be new weapons. The current ones are pretty significantly changed up from previous iterations, and they're putting it all into a new engine with new animations and stuff. If there ARE two new weapons, then butter up those poopers because that probably means World's going to have an insane amount of content. Or all their manpower went into the weapons and there'll be no content at all.

Bet you anything if there were new weapons they'd be as OP as CB/IG from 4U.

Well, I certainly would applaud anyone wanting to post 100 copypastas, but take it from this old /mhg/ rat, I've spent my entire adult life shitting up Monster Hunter Generals, and a program like this one can do more harm than good.

If you only train one part of your shitposting (and that's all a single method like pasta is going to do for you), you're setting yourself up for injuries down the road. I've seen it a hundred times.

It's like putting a powerful engine in a stock Toyota Tercel. What will you accomplish? You'll blow out the drive train, the clutch, the transmission, etc., because those factory parts aren't designed to handle the power of an engine much more powerful than the factory installed engine.

Copypasta basically only trains the spamming and to some extent, the attention whoring. What you really want to do is train your entire shitposts, all the major post groups (b8ing, memespamming, circlejerking and ERPing) at the same time, over the course of a thread. And don't forget your ban-dodging work!

I'm proud of you guys wanting to do this. Three cheers! Falling in love with shitposting, ruining threads right, etc., is one of the greatest things you can do for yourself. And you WILL fall in love with it if you can just force yourself to stick with it a year or two and experience the amazing progress you'll make.
But do it right, okay?

My advice, find a good shitposter, with a name and tripcode who will design your posts for you (especially in the beginning, until you get the hang of it yourself) and guide you in your quest for destroying good discussion. Thirty to 45 minutes a day, three days a week, is all you'll ever need to do (I refuse to believe anyone is so busy that he or she cannot make time for that, especially considering how important it is).

>>184324769

Hunting Horn.
Cause I love to setup my buff singing bashes to do legit good hits.

Also I remember back in Monster Hunter Freedom2 when it first came out, you could stay in music mode and you constantly swing from note to note.
Every time I got a new horn, I'd go to an aerna full of velociprey types and only fight the whole match playing music. Killing them with my note change swings and finding out what music combos worked.

>>184323619

>>184340435
My idea for a new weapon is kinda halfway between these two.

I'm picturing a giant censer which would be swung around like a meteor hammer and could be bladed for cutting damage or blunt for KO damage depending on the weapon tree (or perhaps every instance of the weapon has retractable blades such that it can switch on the fly).

The incense would buff team mates like the hunting horn, but instead of being baked into the weapon itself, would function as a separate item like bow coatings/sword oil. The effects would start relatively weak (AuS, for instance) but get stronger the more aggressively you play (AuL). Kind of like the gunlance damage meter, except it wouldn't reset upon maxing out and the energy(?) would decay rather rapidly if you are not hitting the monster. Similar to the tonfa I'm told, but I've never used it.

>>184344949
I love this weapon so much and it would fit really well in the monhun universe I feel. I think it should stick to blunt since theres literally only one other blunt weapon.

>>184328016

Hmm, this makes me think, is there a canon religion in the monster hunter universe? Censers are typically used for religious purposes, so it would make more sense if the weapon was adapted from their stuff.

>>184340760
Aria...

>>184346758
What's the point of having more simple weapons ? They'd be overlapping withe the already great simple weapons.
If you're gonna have a new weapon it needs to add something new to the table.

>>184344949
Wat's with censers being more popular than drums. I thought my idea was cool.
I can definitely see how that fits through, with the hunter swinging the ball around him like a dance. Plus that's easily adaptable to a bunch of different designs.

A flail/ ball and chain would bring something new to the table. I don't mind something like that censer idea or IG, but I feel like, on their own, they bring too much new to the table, if that makes sense. They just come across as dissonant with the rest of the weapon 'cast'. Like hunting horn exists as a specialization of regular hammer, and gunlance exists as a specialization of regular lance, there should be a simple polearm option alongside IG (like are you not allowed to just use a staff in the monster hunter universe without also carrying a robotic beetle?), and a simple flail/ ball and chain alongside censer.

/autism, I know, but I felt like the games kept this sort of themeing pretty consistent until relatively recently.

>>184350639
Huh, i've seen that. I guess my only problem is thatit seems a little "flimsy" for a MH weapon. Even the dual blades have some heft to their design. I could probably make the handle a little smaller.

>>184351682
Well that's because it's a ball and chain. But picture the censer as about 1.5x larger than the ball in the video, and decked out in rathalos scales/spikes. Or a duramboros tail, heh.

>>184351525
Idk. I'm using what /mhg/ told me to, and I'm shooting the Btigrex in the head and neck from crit distance ever single opening I'm given, so after every attack. I even laid some traps out, and went in to siege mode and unloaded. Crafted about 208 more Lvl2 and hit him with almost all of them. Dude didn't even limp. Unless there's something I don't know about it, then I don't know what else to do. At most it takes me 10-15 minutes with every other weapon I know. This is 4U, also and I don't know if that matters.

That's great, exacly how I pictured it. Shouldn't there be something at the other end of the chain through. Is it fixed on the armor ? Or is there another smaler counterweight ball ? Something else ?

>>184352238
It has a small handle on the other end of the chain (you can see it in the original picture), but you could also do a duplicate ball. Generally you would just wrap the chain around one hand/elbow and use the other hand to swing the ball.

Also feeding them kibble is a big part, much like feeding kinsects nectar. After certain levels, you can power up their core abilties.

Also you can upgrade both the saddle and hatchet individually for tons of customization. The saddle mostly offers resistances, and the hatchet for secondary damage.

>>184352913
I agree with this, considering that the average head size of hammers and hunting horns in MH is like the same size as a hunters entire torso, I'd imagine the ball of a ball and chain type thing would be pretty large as well.

>>184352913
There's more slow weapons than fast weapons

Would you run elements/status on a lance? Also, they're the slowest/most restricted mobility wise by far

>>184353208
Besides Greatsword and Hammer, all of those are more of a medium speed.

On what fucking planet? You spend most of the time sheathed which gives you access to running and superdive. And hammer keeps full walk speed while unsheathed, puts in on par with other fast weapons.

Yeah, and DB uses charge attacks and should avoid Element.

>>184354412
That's still wrong, I don't play much DB but pretty fucking sure one of its moves roots you in place longer than a gs unsheathe and probably even a hammer superpound.

>>184354843
Yes, and when you do that move you attack something like 20+ times as opposed to the one attack for a greatsword. Stop making a fool out of yourself, you're literally arguing GS and DB have the same attack speed

>>184352591
Depends if you're normal gunning or pierce. L2 is the best normal shot wheareas pierce works best with L1. (Pierce L1&2 have equal damage in X/XX IIRC, but 2 has it spread along more hits or something)

>>184357707
I would but pierce is a little better on Brute than regular Tigrex because his back takes more damage so you could try using a pierce gun and try to shoot through his head, back and back leg. Tigrex was a wall for me with HBG so don't get too disheartened. He's much easier with bow because of the extra mobility. I would also recommend trying it with your limiter removed.

>>184357879
1. Get into brave
2. Spam R
Thats fucking it.


have in mind:

MV/KO/EXH

Brave Cancel (X while sheathing) = 70/40/10
Brave Cancel (A while sheathing) = 15/22/5
Charge lv. 1 Side Swing = 25/15/15 (the 1st level of the first charge combo)
Charge lv. 2 Uppercut = 40/35/10 (the 2nd level of the first charge combos)
Charge lv. 3 Uppercut = 45/35/10 (the 1st level of the second charge combo)
Charge lv. 4 Super Uppercut = 65/45/15 (the 2nd level of the second charge combo)
Charge lv. 5 Super Pound = 15+80/10+50/5+25 (the 1st level of the third charge combo)
Charge lv. 6 Mega Pound = 20+105/10+60/5+30 (the 2nd level of the third charge combo)
Jump Charge lv. 2-3 = 75/45/10
Jump Charge lv. 4 = 80/45/10
Jump Charge lv. 5 = 90/50/10
Jump Charge lv. 6 = 100/50/10

Just Spam fast R Charges, only charge the 2nd levels if you already started the combo and can't release during the first charge.

Equip the new Hammer HA for free 50-60KO per combo.

I've been playing 4U online for the past month and I've yet to see a single HH user.

>>184360079
you trade the occasional horn/trap for a more predictable monster, as they're going to be focusing on you the entire fight. Which also means you might have less chances to heal, sharpen, etc.

They might be nice when you're starting, but after a while it gets extremely exhausting to have your cats pull the monster to the other side of the area constantly. Why the fuck are they even over there?

>>184360079
Palicoes with the right moves and skills can be pretty useful but they are not necessary at all.
Alternatively, you could get them DLC gear that changes the meowing to other (hopefully) less annoying sounds.

>>184360223
A good one is really nice to have but the playstyle turns people off. It's a lot to deal with keeping buffs up.

>>184360079
the only cats that are really any good are thief ones because they can get you free items, but i dont think you have access to those as a noob anyway. otherwise theyre just annoying and can teach you bad habits (like relying on them for heals)

>>184361124
I'm using Aerial Style; I like how easy in makes it to build up songs since you can play 2 notes very quickly during a jumping attack.
As for the Hunting Horns themselves, I'm still working on my collection but I use 3:

Daora's Baphophone mostly for the Negate Stamina use L, but the Attack and Defense boost is decent if you play the encore.

Black Lute for Attack boost L and HG earplugs (if you play the encore)
I know this one is not that great but it just looks fucking rad, I love it. I coupled it with Blunt skill and it's not amazing but it gets the job done.

Nightfall Horn for both Attack and Defense boost L and the occasional healing. Natural white sharpness and decent affinity.

I'm looking for a new Horn that is not redundant with the ones I already have but haven't found it yet.

As for Hunter Arts I like Harmonize III since it helps a lot with keeping the songs up. I do like to gem in Maestro because it makes the long songs even longer but I haven't tried playing without it yet, might not even be that necessary any more.

I don't consider myself particularly good with the weapon but I hope some of that info proves useful m8, good luck.

>>184362230

From previous thread.

Please help me decide which Nintendo DS should I buy, mainly for playing MH (also some others guy, the last Nintendo console I owned was SNES in 1990s).

So after asking anons and doing some research the decision is basically between
>Old 3DS
or
>New 2DS XL

I don't care about 3D and want to emulate games and have a convenient gaming experience (I'm a big guy with big hands).

>>184373249
if you want axe mode that isn't total garbage, you'll need switch axe F

>>184373146
I sometimes do that because it's too embarrassing to face the other people. Especially when you cart to a stupid monster.

>>184373578
Anything but be sure to buy the XL one. Bigger is better.

>>184373770
I see that New 2DS XL was released recently, is it possible to emulate games on it?

>>184373578
Same guy shilling N2DSXL from last thread.
The bigger screen size means bigger pixels, but that also means you dont have to squeeze the thing up to your face. Today I got some grips from Amazon. No circle pad but you got the C-litoris for that. I've noticed that the Cnub tends to stick after a while of playing but goes back to normal after a break so maybe its sweat. The grips make is almost as comfortable as a console controller but maybe your hands find it better than mine. The thing is really darn cheap at 150 +tax and I spent 11 dollars on a grip. The other dude is right that New 3DS and XL hardware is kind of a ripoff. o3DS w/ CCP seems to fit most people's hands well enough. The N2DS has the New hardware so games run just slightly better. No word on how hackable it is yet. If comfort is your goal, get the N2ds. Get the o3DS if you care about hacking or screen fidelity.

Fighting Barioth in Tri for the first time, did they change the tailswipe dodge timing? I could roll Narga's in FU with my eyes closed but this one's giving me trouble. Also this fight sucks, I want Narga back.

>>184373905
Yes but since it's on 11.4 you can only hack it if
>having another 3ds hacked
>hardmod AKA messing with the hardware

Good luck

>>184374356
the hitbox is bigger

>>184374356
Since Barioth is slower and bigger, your i-frames ends before you get out of the hitbox and the tailswipe throws snow

>>184374616
It doesn't throw snow in Tri.

>>184374498
>>184374616
Well this sucks, now I need to figure out how the fuck you deal with his tailswipe.

Does felyne temper affect heavy arrows?

How do I set up elemental LBG in MHXX? What are the go-to skills and which elemental LBGs are good?

>>184377014
circle, whatever

>>184372774
>walk into large open area
>see thing you can easily tell shouldn't be touched
>lmao how about I touch it anyway
I think souls protag is just always a retard desu

>>184377096
None of them because elemental LBG got nerfed into the ground.
MHXX is a raw only game.

>>184377372

>>184377096
Build it like a normal LBG set or HBG set. Most that I've seen don't deviate from the core skills.
I've seen the Mizu gun and Plesi gun get used online somewhat often, but I don't play much LBG so I can't comment on what element guns are good.

>>184377251
Why would you give a fuck when you're an immortal being thatll just eventually kill whatever says "no don't touch"

>>184377096
True shot up, specific element up, and pierce up are the basics. Ammo saver, bonus shot, repeat offender, elemental crit, element attack up and crit boost can all be useful depending on the gun.

>Caravan 8 urgent is a Monoblos

>Axe mode bounce because it hits the back
>fuck up a GP and roar stuns me longer than Monoblos' animation so it's a free hit for it.
>Cephalos not giving a shit and attack me anyway

>sub 25 but it's finally over

I hope Monoblos gear suck dick because I fucking hated that quest.

>>184377619
So Elemental Atk Up, Elemental Atk (X) +2, Bonus Shot, and what? Maybe Crit Element?

>>184377908
It's not bad but it's ugly as fuck so there's that

>>184377910
Don't forget your pierce.

>>184378050
Pierce doesn't affect element pierce.

>>184377846
Wait, Pierce Up and Crit Boost?

>>184375707
>>184376434
>>184376539
was it autism?

>>184378090
Well I guess not if pierce up doesn't do anything for elemental pierce. Crit boost only if the gun happens to have a lot of affinity.

>>184377910
EaU, Ele+2, Bonus Shot, True Shot, Load Up, Ammo Saver.
Then trash it for a pierce setup with the standard crit boost build because you won't have enough ammo to finish a quest.

>>184378226
No, it was love, TARS

this shit makes me legit mad
if I had to choose between getting gored by something 10 times my size or having sore ears I'd choose the fucking latter
autism I know
