That'd be it, you'll get better. Once you get over the first few humps in the learning curve it evens out a lot. I remember how hard a Kut Ku (intro monster from the original) seemed back in the day and how crazy it was to finally down it then get the grasp on everything and start piling up the kill count.
Everyone has their "click" with Monster Hunter where it just all starts to come together. The camera, all of the items, the way the monsters are and the weight/delay to things. It pissed off and confused every MH fan at first, but once it all starts to gel, you get over that hump and all the design begins to make sense it's a very cool experience

First time I got 13 unique mushrooms, 8 ripe and 10 choice mushrooms.
Needless to say I didn't make it.
Second time I got 14 unique but none of the others. The altaroths didn't go for the shrooms.
At least I got the quest so no complaining here but it is still annoying as hell.

we dont have the patience to play offline first and want to test out the online..Gamer @ Heart said:
anyways getting back on topic, do the attacks get easier to pull off?
i brought the great sword and between pressing the two attack buttons there is a delay of about half a second, as your character swings..
just wondering does your character get the ability to attack faster or do i need a different weapon?

No, the swings are identical for all weapons of the same type and dont change. Try sword and sheild if you prefer faster attacks.

I can understand that, what i meant was that the single player eases you into the mechanics and just jumping in directly to a boss character and dying repeatedly wasting 20 minutes at a time might be a turnoff for some and they could lose interest forever which would suck.
I want people to stick around
MH3 SP doesnt seem to frustrating so far. I just got word about the Qurupecco, and captured a Great Jaggi for the first time...nothing to hard at this point. The SP characters explain a decent amount of stuff too. Pointer menu helps as well (highlight anything in the stat screen you arent clear on).
The only thing that always gets me is when you have such a large amount of equipment to choose from :lol I always end up going with a high defense rate and what looks the best.

You'll get used to it progressively, you're still early on. I'm around the same parts you're at, and i haven't really noticed any interesting skill sets just yet anyways (then again, i didnt look much). Early on you (usually) don't need to worry about matching sets of armor too much. You'll keep on getting better stuff regularly, so it's never seemed to be worth the hassle to get matching sets early on.Teknoman said:

:O
Flooded Forest is one of the most beautiful environments I've ever seen in a video game! God I'm loving this game.
Is there any reason why you would want to mix and match armor from different sets? Or is it generally best to just equip an entire set at a time?

Finally, someone commented on flooded forest!autobzooty said:
Mixing and matching allows you to activate more skills and you can pick and match what skills you want to suit your playing style. Entire set usually results in fixed skills. Anw the mixing is quite limited initially, it will only open up later in the game.

This is my first Monster Hunter game and I'm enjoying it. It's pretty tough online, and nobody but me is careful enough to go back and sleep at the starting point when they're out of healing items. Instead, everyone likes to die and lose a third of our reward, and then eventually game ovah.
This game does a pretty good job drawing you into it's atmosphere, and I'll admit I even freaked the fuck out when
. I never put my weapon away and held down Z so fast. Hoooly shit.
I took a peek at what kinds of weapons there are and I'm interested in Long Swords. Of course I don't know where to find any, or when I can use any, and my armor is kinda crappy.. I have the Hunter equipment right now. :lol
But still, even with my inexperience, I think I can see the hype now. I really wish it ended up on PS3 as it was first intended though because of the bars on each side and the blurriness of the graphics. The game does kind of lack the ability to lock on to enemies, and enemies are really hard to hit.. but you kind of get used to it after a while and learn to cope with the lack of ability to turn while hitting/no lock on.
Ramble ramble ramble.

Yeah, flood forest is quite beautiful.
- Killed the Qurupecco on first try. It wasn't that challenging even when it calls out for help with the Great Jaggi as well as the smaller Jaggi. It took me about 20 minutes to kill it with the sword and shield. Almost lost the bastard once when it flew away but finally found it sleeping. Its spark attack can sure do a lot of damage but it is pretty easy to avoid.
- Just need to do 2 more missions to complete the level 3 quests.
- Just unlocked and forged the switch axe weapon! It's pretty freaking cool. Still, I'm not confident taking into battle against any bosses other than a Great Jaggi at this point. I still want to ultimately use the long sword.
- Got some Ludroth legging armor.
QUESTION:
Anyone know where to find the herbivore eggs for that level 3 quest ? I've looked all over the place and haven't been able to locate them.
Another QUESTION:
Anyone know where to find killer beetle ?

Hiltz you can find the eggs in area 7. Search the bones next to the wilted tree. A shortcut to the area is to drop down the well next to your camp tent.

1. Just so you know, it's usually not a good idea to mix and match pieces of armor from different armor sets. You miss out on some really helpful skill bonuses that way.
2. Area 7, base of the tree
3. Flooded Forest bug catching points, daytime only I think.
Aw man, tough break. That is a close toss-up indeed, but I think we'd all agree you made the right choice :lol Tri will still be here in a couple of weeks!SalsaShark said:Fuck. My girlfriend made me remember that ive made a promise to lend her the Wii before Galaxy 2 came out so her little brother can play. Guess im out for a couple of weeks
A friend and I tried online last night and are loving it. We were wondering though, is there a way to do a Moga Woods 'free hunt' type thing online? Like an unstable landscape to chill out and hunt in with no time limit? I searched around the city, but wasn't sure if I missed someone to talk to or if it appeared later or something.

Hey,
got the game yesterday, played for 7 hours, great fun.
But I have one question:
So I had this unspectacular looking medieval, shiny armor. I liked it. When I played a bit more, I could have the smith make me the Jaggi-armor. After 2 times upgrading the medieval armor, it had 4 defense points, while the jaggi-armor had 12 points from the start. You can guess how many of these armor upgrade-items i had needed, would I have wanted to get it up there.
So: Does the upgrading of early armors make sense, or a later armors inherently better, so you shouldnt invest much into the earlier ones?

Even great jaggi armor gets obsolete pretty fast. I'd hold on to your upgrade equipment until you get some more permanent gear, but it's not that big of a deal if you waste a handful of upgrades. You'll get it back eventually.

autobzooty said:
Yeah, going back and re-reading what Tenbatsu said about the new charm system, mixing and matching armors sounds like it actually woks well this time around. But only if you have the proper charms/decorations to attach to them. Just going about it willy-nilly won't yield optimal results.
Seraphis Cain

selig said:
Well, any armor can be useful at any time. It just depends on how much you've upgraded it and how good you are at dodging. Like, my Jaggi Armor gives me Attack Up L through Decorations/Charms/inherent skills, but it's defense is poor. So I upgraded it as much as I can with Armor Spheres and just make sure to play extra defensively when I use it (as it's my go-to armor when I'm using my SnS).

I helped a friend duo the Barroth urgent earlier, man I certainly got my wish for them to up the health pools and damage output of early game monsters. That shit took forever with just a duo. I'm using the alloy set at the moment, the early armor has some pretty rockin' skills this time around. Found a charm for gluttony as well, huzzah.
I'm pretty surprised just how quickly that ramped up though. That thing is, IMO, harder than a low-rank Tigrex. Not as spazzy, more predictable but tons of longevity and just more dangerous per hit, IMO.
Hiding behind a rock to combine some more paralyze bullets then having him enrage, charge at the rock, destroy it and one shot my Hunter was pretty hilarious.

I would've hopped on to help if I had seen this when you posted it. I can duo Barroth with a hammer.FootNinja said:

Fucking stupid royal ludroth pos. Fucked his shit up for 45 minutes straight, not enough time, fission mailed. I take the piss, upgrade my hammer twice, come back with power seeds and... takes me 20 minutes to find the fucker... Fuck his shit for 30 minutes, he doesnt die, game over. FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK.
Edit: on 3rd try, pummeled his ass into submission in 20 mins. HA!

I dunno, only the triple charge on Tigrex was the only super duper threatening to me. Mainly because because it could tear your ass to shreds in some of the more narrow passages. Once you caught onto the weak spot in his model to roll into though, even that wasn't too scary.
The Barroth is pretty sick for a 1* Urgent, considering it completely one shot my Bowgun Hunter during an enrage, it also has some obnoxious chains. The health on that fucker is what really pushes it over though, considering I only ever duo things it makes for quite an endurance match at this stage of the game. Doing the Urgent for both of us, I was just pouring so much money into ammo. Sigh
I'm excited to see the further ramp up, very very fun.

I really like the alloy set early on, great skills. The Jaggi armor seemed nice too. I wasn't too big on the Quro armor and now I hold a grudge against him since I gathered mats to make his gun before actually stopping to sit down and compare pieces and learn the system and realize I had no use for any of them personally. :lol
