You mean 2 and then 1? Because I thought 1 was using an item.
He means once you have the chat window open (2 - 2). You can use messages to cross-communicate with people in the lobby too (and probably people in other quests).

Exactly, that's what I meant. 1 is for whispering during chat.

It's a pity that one of the few Rare1 sets I actually give a toss about (Leather) doesn't have a + version in the forge. :/

Hawkian said:
Why is egg carrying something you want to be difficult in this game? :lol
:lol I've encountered that mindset before. 700+ hour hardcore people should think of all the regular Joes trying to play this game. ;)

Game is tough enough as is, imo.



edit: Also, why the fuck do I need Barioth+ materials for a Rathian armour? Makes no sense to me. :/

You do realize you need to kill high-rank Kelbis/Popos to get the stuff to make Leather+? :D

I thought I killed a bit of everything already... (to get as much stuff as possible to appear in the forge). How could I forget the Kelbis!

You should really try out the egg carrying mission for the original monster hunter, its a freaking nightmare:lol

Egg carrying in MH3 is way too easy.

Amen. I wanted to throw my controller so many times when carrying Eggs in MH1. Those fucking bulls......AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

My main is rank 28 and now decked out in full Uragaan armor. That event quest with the mini-Uragaan was great for farming - rushshards galore and easily two-mannable. Stupid scutes took a while though.

Meanwhile the gunner I started has hit a bit of a wall - developing him was going well until I found out that the Fearsome Maw from Gigginox has one of the worst droprates in the game. Up yours Gig, up whatever orifice is not your head.

I must have lucked out with the volcano transporting quest. I think I heard Rathalos start to descend in Area 3 as I was running through with my third stone, but otherwise it was just avoiding obnoxious little monsters.

My friend was online for the first time in ages so I spent a lot of time grinding him up to HR12. Slowly got myself up to HR30 too! Guess that means Jhen today if I have some time. First I think I need to restock my honey offline.

Thanks a lot to everyone who popped into the room over the course of the evening to help out. MHGAF is awesome.

Shit. markatisu and I were taking on Rathalos and failed in the last 5 minutes. Crap :lol

That's why I'm smart and just join up with him for Ludroth!

Everything's on sale again - did a sandstorm blow in a minute ago? Or maybe it will just follow me around while I have my Jhen urgent ready. :lol

Dang, Shuelma and I almost got the Rathalos by ourselves

We actually did better than I thought. Probably shouldn't have wasted my traps and we could have captured him.

Ah well, still a lot of fun!
 
Well after my little pity post yesterday I went back this morning and tried Altereon with my wife.

It takes a long time and is very exhausting, but we took him down 3 times! Now we just gotta figure out how you are supposed to break his head because I assume that's how you get a Skypiercer. I don't think I'm going to make his set though because the skillset isn't all that appealing to me.

I'd rather have Deviljo's set which is my next target. Or at least part of Deviljo's set so I can get that Sharpness+1.

Lonely, did you drop connect or did I? All of a sudden it said you exited, then two mins later, I dropped as well. :/

Ah well, maybe it's a sign this wasn't meant to be. LOL. I'm gonna go eat. Thanks for playing, guys~

I think I'm gonna take the dive.

I have MH3 and a Black Classic Controller Plus in my cart in Amazon, and have a 19.99 gift certificate from buying SMG2.

For some one whose only sword fighting experience in games comes from Zelda, really wants an RPG to sink some hours into for his new Wii, and is admittedly trying to find a game for his Wii that doesn't have Mario in it, should I click the order button?

hehe..I've put in about 65 hours so far and I'm basically a noob when I go online.

So yes

Wait, you're using two characters separetely? Why not just have equipment for both classes, that's what I do at least.

With the equipment sets thing, I couldn't understand this either.

Well this is my first Monster Hunter, and although it's a really complex game, it does a wonderful job in teaching them without feeling like a god damn tutorial.

It's one of the best games on the console though, so I definately recommend it.

There are a lot of hidden things. Like a lot.

Some of those you can't just stumble across, a ton of them I was shown online, like:

Fishing Gobul out
Using Sonic Bombs on Diablos
If you keep cracking the wyvern eggs in D. Island while Rathian is around, she'll keep coming back to 8
Gigginox and heat (actually... learned in this thread)

You don't actually need to break the egg, just hold it.

OK playing against + monsters is a whole different ball game, wowzers!

What are the tips from the pros to + monsters? Can I use the same armor I have now just keep upgrading it or am I supposed to just ditch all the low rank armor now

Ditch it, make the Rathian+ set, easy as shit to fight/make upgrade that all the way and you're all set.

I just encountered this bugger myself! I just ran away since it's not my mission yet. ^^ Love his music though.

I went for +Qurupeco. It's nice to be able to heal/buff everyone w/Wide-Range +2. Also nice to reign doom with the hammer and still be somewhat of a support-type. :)

So I may purchase this game. I heard it's like PSO but I never managed to play that either :lol I am probably gonna buy it without the CC since I just got a new remote and nunchuk. ANything else I should know before buying it?
