when the qurupeco did its call at first i was like "wait it's been like a month, is that a r-" then i realized it was a ludrothY2Kev said:
then i realized that you probably hadn't fought a ludroth before since you were a wee babby who just took down a qurupeco in single player
although honestly i was kinda hoping for a rathian, there's a good chance of them spawning during that quest, they're fun and easy to fight but they eat hr1 babbies (like u) for breakfast

I wish they'd put out a big world map of Monster Hunter, I have the art books which have region maps but the games always take place in different parts of the world and I think that's really neat. Chacha is from the original's area, the event's prototype Gunlance eludes to MH2, the captain is from Freedom 3 expansion region, etc.
You don't need four people to do anything except Jhen and Alt (and only because that fucker will fly forever), some people want to play 2-op or 3-op, I personally don't like 4-op unless it's absolutely required or on some health tank boss like Jhen or Lao or Gaoren.
Ala can be scary old Elder Dragon style, he will chain shit that can just destroy your ass if you aren't really careful. Two hit KO combo through maxed Jhen+ armor and 150 hp, go! Deviljho doesn't really have any good combos and he's pretty easy to wail on, so I completelty agree.
His music is rad as hell though.
I maxed everything I could ever want in Tri recently, so I'm back on Freedom "never ending" Unite, and while I am so happy to have my Bows and guns back I want a controller :lol
Capcom usually has all these little niche and thoughtful options, they should put advanced control support in for PSP Go's Dual Shock 3 out for Freedom 3. I swear I'd probably buy a Go just for that with as much MH I play

Shout out to Shin, Disgyses, Captain Bosch, Cube, Selenae, Josh, Aqib(?) and later on, Neo C.
Marvellous hunting. Funny when I got Bosch with a feline bomb and someone asked what the status icon near his name was :lol. Also funny how a few of you tried getting Aqib to leave as he was too low to join our quest.:lol Can't believe I played the game for 6-7 hours straight. Time just flies by. I'm HR 27 at the moment and done all 3* quests. Just have to griiiiiind. There are 2 VERY pain in the ass materials that I've tried like 20 times to get. Rathian Plate and Jumbo Pearl, why wont it just give them to me? Damn!
My impressions of the game so far, like anyone cares at this point. Not been addicted to a game like this since probably the original Pokemon Gold. What makes it so addicting? I'll never know, it just is. The monsters are really something else, my favourite being Diablos so far, as he's got the best moveset, he's pretty big, and got a deadly design.
But what I dont get about the game is that the monsters are mainly the same in that they basically have the same moves. I mean, they all have a rush/charge attack, and a tail whip, so I wish they could have been a lot more different like Jhen Moron.
Other than that, been loving every second of it, played 60+ hours, not even gotten past 2* offline :lol. So, I say it is GOTY for me iso far, if SMG2 doesn't surpass it as I have yet to play that. Good going Capcom, I never got into Freedom 1 on PSP, as I found a lot of issues in that game, how hard it was, the camera, the PSP stick etc. But this game is on a whole nother level for me, and I'm looking forward to completing it, however long that takes.

^I've actually gotten quite a few Jumbo Pearls on the ocean bed in Areas 10 and 11 in D. Island.

I'm still not sure what it is about Jhen that attracts so many dumbasses who won't listen to instructions; successfully repelling it is really easy if you know when to use the items at the right time, and yet they'll be doing everything wrong and before you know it, the Dragonship gets wrecked.
Maybe this forced break from the game will do me a bit of good.
In this case I was the one who fucked up the repel, but the nameless one (in case he's a gaffer) was barking out instructions that would probably be clear to people who have done it a dozen times, but since I've been on the ship all of twice, I don't know where the fuck anything is except for the cannon and ballista. If something important needs to be done, either do it yourself or tell someone how to do it.Ridley327 said:
I don't mind just doing cannon for 30 minutes, but if no one explains the rest of it, that's all they can expect me to do.

No worries; when I helped out in the actual urgent quest the first time through, I had no idea what to do in the second half. Thankfully, a lot of the same principles apply and, to be fair, you weren't doing a bad thing by staying on the cannon. When the time finally came for me to him for my urgent, my crew and myself were a well-oiled machine that managed to kill him (twice even, since we had another player do his urgent afterward).
Killing Jhen is definitely a great accomplishment and I recommend anyone to go for it when he rolls up into town again.

Opened up a city for my Alatreon urgent! Would love to see some familiar faces help me The usual place, look for Jason.

Preaching to the Choir dude, the team I was with was pretty understanding but seriously I think some of the High Rank players need to realize that the Jhen event is not self explanatory nor is there a tutorial.
Most people here will not know wtf they are doing on the boat until they have done it a few times, so there needs to be some patience till the person learns "oh this is how the cannon works", etc
It is such an odd quest compared to everything else you do in the game
Online or offline? That's fucking impressive!Boney said:
What about killing Jhen solo?? What achievement can you unlock?Ridley327 said:

Love me some bounce bombs. They're so fast to launch I like standing under a stunned monster and just fire away at its belly or chin.
Tenbatsu said:
Online, had a random partner and first try we did 4:49, and we got around that area a lot of times. Then we started dragging past the 6 mins. Both got pissed and said, ok now we do it. 3 minutes later bam. Couldn't believe it at first :lol
EDIT: I just realized if Tenbatsu says it's impressive, oh my god!!
Hawkian said:
Maybe next time, I think your room was full when I popped online so I joined some other high rank hunters to do Cold Call and Urugaan hunts.
Cold Call was pretty awesome and almost netted me enough stuff for Tenebra on the first try!
And I came to a conclusion last night, I do not care what I am wearing or what I have for weapons. Barioth will still make me its bitch somehow, every freaking time I get KO'd by either its belly flop, tail whip, or just because I am in the same zone.

You didn't fail my freind, consider that a victoryLeezard said:So I just had my first fight against Alatreon. Kinda awful, I died twice, causing us to fail the quest. :/ We got his tail though, and I carved an Azure Dragongem on my first carve! How awesome is that!
I'm still trying to decide on what skill I want to accompany Sharpness+1. Originally I was considering HG Earplugs but screams don't happen that often and when they do rarley ever does it get me in trouble. I was thinking about getting Minds Eye but as I think it over I don't think it will be that useful, I only ever bounce on monsters like Uragaan and Agkantor.
The full Deviljo set can be easily jeweled for Attack Up (L) but I hate to think that's the best I can do skill set wise. Does anyone have any skill suggestions?
Can you eventually upgrade your low-rank armor to high-rank armor, rather than forging it from scratch? The blacksmith was babbling some nonsense about upgrading with monster parts rather than spheres, but I didn't know if that was what he was talking about.
And if so, does it require fewer materials?
And if so, does it require fewer materials?
Sadly, no, and it's probably the single biggest oversight that the game has against it.
What the smithy is referring to is that armor can be upgraded to the point where they change rarity and gain a few more defense points, but it's not really worth it since high rank armor offers the same kind of protection at earlier levels and you end up getting an extra skill or two out of them.
That aspect is something I hope gets figured out in a potential MH3G since it doesn't make a lot of sense to literally start over with your armor when they already have a system in place where that wouldn't have to be the case.

What is your playing style and what weapon are you using mainly?RuneFactoryFanboy said:
Edit: In general, G armors are more versatile for mixing and matching, whereas non G ones are not. The game give you the option to upgrade your non G armor in the event that you have problem getting the material for the G version. Plus the requirement to upgrade is not as demanding as compared to making the G version. Reason that G armors are pretty hard to make is that Capcom wanted players to mix their armor rather than going for the full set.Ridley327 said:
Wait, jhen is back?
Is the HR limit still 27?
^^^^
I'm personally not worried about using the armour spheres I get atm. Thetre's so many of them in the volcano areas, that I figure ahving the extra defense to help me get to a higher HR now, is worth having to work a little harder once I do get the higher rank armour.

To be fair, my second death was due to me getting greedy and trying to carve the tail another time after getting the gem. :lol We did it once more though, and I didn't die once. Too bad you have to be the one to initiate the quest to get it cleared. :/selig said:Yeah, well ...just kidding
I got some ElderDragonBlood at least
