Wow.
All I can say is wow. I finally had about 3 hours to play this earlier today, and it surpassed all my expectations. Still getting used to the combat, but it's nowhere near as flawed as a few outlets have made it out to be... you just have to pick your attacks carefully and know when to evade... simple as that.
The collection aspects/forging/upgrading/mining/gathering/hunting/everything-ing is just fucking awesome.
I am hooked... this is the perfect game for me. I hope I can stick with it for a while... I usually don't have much time to play games anymore, but I'll probably be making time for this one.

Yeah, I'm having similar trouble.nacire said:
A few of the Best Buys in my area have them in stock, but unfortunately, they're the ones furthest away from me.
If all else fails, NewEgg has it in stock, complete with free shipping.
I completed my jaggi set, my GS is upgraded to Jawbone, and almost completed all the 3* quest. So far I haven't failed any quest, the closest is dying once to Royal Ludroth but he was almost close to death anyway when I went back to him to finish him off with 3 hits. I think I will try to complete the 4 and 5 star quest before I go online. I want to be prepared for online because getting killed by bosses and losing an hour of progress easily makes me rage quit.

What level do you guys recommend I try the online stuff out at? I've played through a few of the level 1 quests in SP and still don't have much of a clue as to what's going on besides doing what the guild lady tells me to. I had never considered trying this series in the past, but for some reason I was interested in trying this one and I don't regret my decision at all. Pretty awesome game.
wow...
I feel awesome right now. speechless. So I started an online mission with another guy, killing a King Ludroth. Never saw that one before. So we enter the mission, and start beating the shit out of this monster...well, more like the opposite.
We keep fighting and fighting, but a one point we´re out of healing items. I look up what a sub-goal for the missing is. "Hurt its neck". So I tell my partner that. We keep fighting, but suddenly, he says bye, giving up.
Well, there I am, alone up against that furious giant. Im on top of the waterfall in that area, take a big jump and dive deep into the water. In front of me the King Ludroth, just as as I touch the water´s surface. Well, it´s all or nothing. So I swim towards it, hoping it wouldnt hit me. That´s when I slash its neck, and a miracle: The neck is finally hurt! As fast as possible, I return to the base and quit the mission with "just" the sub mission cleared.
PS: Sorry, it´s probably nothing incredible for most MH-players, but Im just happy that I didnt have to cancel the whole mission.

Ok, so I got the game yesterday, but only started playing today. Having fun and enjoying it. Question, should I just power through with the Great Sword? It feels so powerful and I'll probably love it later on, but these small dinasaours and deers are much easier to kill with the sword and shield.
Should I go S&S starting or stick with the great sword?

This is my first Monster Hunter.
I've playing a ton of hours, single player only for now and I'm definitely enjoying it.
I've almost done all the level two quests. I now have to capture a Great Jaggi,
So far I've been exclusively using a lance. Would you guys recommend a different weapon is or the lance fine?

If you're good with the Lance, by all means stick with it.

Just kicked the living shit out of the first Lagiacrus quest in single player.

Where do you find spider webs and how do you make shock traps with no genprey?
Ive heard people say "spider webs in area 1/2 blabla" but where am I looking? is it going to look like a spider web. or am I searching one of the plants?

May not exist, but anyone know of a good illuminated wired keyboard without a numpad? Looking at getting something better for my nighttime Monster Hunting.
Nevermind, I found something close enough, hope it's decent: http://pccyber.com/?v=Product&i=KB-EC-W-9868

Everyone is using Recruiting / Wisdom 1 / Gate 40 to play gaffers, right? It wasn't too lively a few hours ago when I jumped online for the first time. I haven't yet had the opportunity to use wii speak or hear anybody else who has it. I really underestimated the convenience of a keyboard. Talking to non-wiispeakers is such a tedious task.
I posted my info on the community thread today. I hope I see some of you tonight.

I just got the game today and played about an hour.
The game is truly daunting for a newcomer like me. The size and scope of the game seems to expansive. I am guessing it would it take hundreds of hours to get a taste of every nook and crany. I seriously don't think I have the time. The most I can invest is about 30-60 min. a day. I still don't even know how to play with others online.

Yeah i feel like a keyboard is more of a necessary than wiispeak. If wiispeak worked like it was supposed to then i wouldnt say that but its really lamentable that its such a piece of shit. Its SO wildly infuriating. The quality is up and down across all users. I had some people sound perfectly fine too.Chopper Dave said:Everyone is using Recruiting / Wisdom 1 / Gate 40 to play gaffers, right?

I've been playing Monster Hunter on and off for two years, and have been getting into the Great Sword quite a bit this time through. I thought I knew what I was doing, have taken out a number of Great Jaggis and a Qurupeco, and only JUST now realized you can charge the normal attack :lol. This changes everything, completely.
Except those would be kinda bulky on your lap. (Besides, it's 3 bucks more + shipping. Mine was $17/18 with it.)Hawkian said:
Edit: Oh, it seems the Logitech Wii Wireless keyboard is PC compatible.
I'll try to find my Hunter ID later tonight.
Okay I just got done doing several quests using my shiny new Light Bowgun, and I am loving this thing. So awesome to load up on all different types of shots and swap on the fly depending. The first-person UI, while tank-y, is pretty neat with the satisfying "ready" sound effect.
Pellet shot run-and-gun on the smaller land guys is awesome, totally reminds me of my Spread in PSO. I tried to load up on the underwater shots for collecting Guts, but my gun only has room for 1 round for those. Normal shot 2 ended up working far better due to the higher capacity + burst fire.
I've got a few crag shots just itchin' to find themselves a large monster

Will anyone be online in around 10-20 minutes? I'm heading on looking to try my first non-solo online quest. I'm only rank 1.

First time playing the MH series, and I'm pretty happy so far. I'm just offline for now, and have gotten through the 1 star and most of the 2 star quests (just one left to go). I've been exclusively with the hammer so far and the game has really been pretty easy so far honestly, killing the Great Jaggi being the only time I really had to use a heal item more than once or twice.
Currently, I'm trying to figure out a few things.
1) How to capture a monster (such as the Great Jaggi). Pretty sure I have to get him to walk into a trap, but not sure after that. Still figuring it out.
2) I can't decide if I should upgrade my armor or buy new armor or what. I've been upgrading my Bone Hammer a bit, but haven't bothered with upgrading my armor... I seem to be doing just fine with the basic Hunter-level gear.
I find the carving/gathering very tedious. I don't see why, when there are no monsters around to threaten/interrupt me, I can't just harvest it all at once instead of having to do it one item at a time. Besides that, no serious complaints so far through my first ~6 hours of game play.
