One other thing... about the skills.
Lets say I have an active stun skill, or an active paralysis skill... does this add a chance of stun/paralysis to my normal attacks?

One thing that really pisses me off about this game (and I should have looked it up before buying, I know) was the absolute inability for even split-screen OFFLINE. Like, really? Would it have been that difficult to code? I can understand the inability for couch co-op online, but not offline? Arena play is dull as fuck.

Been going through the arena mode and we wish we had access to more of the game in split screen. The area transitions seem like they are the big sticking point. Can't have two people in the different areas if you have to load each area. A way around that would be to require both players to be at the transition point, but then what happens when someone dies?
Maybe they'll work something out for the inevitable sequel.

Do you really want to know?Teknoman said:
Wii speak worked ok for me. Not sure how clear I came through, but the other two I could hear ok, barring a little feedback (too close to mic?).
Wii speak only seems idea if all 4 have it, just make sure to speak at normal room volume, and be a decent distance from the mic itself.

Bigger buttons and pointer controls could have made the virtual keyboard decently useful. I can't type very fast in the Opera browser but it sure blows MH3 out of the water in terms of practicality. It's almost as if it was done on purpose to get people to buy keyboards. I guess I will be shopping for a wireless keyboard tomorrow. :lol
I still have yet to have a chance to use wii speak. I'm worried about how well mine works. It passed the wii speak channel test with 4 smiley faces out of 6. The little bar in the wii speak options in MH3 spikes a little during idle noises in game. Is this acceptable? I'm already playing in stereo with the volume killed slightly more than I'm used to.

This keyboard is awesome. I actually use it on my HTPC (with sharpkeys to remap the wii buttons to the missing windows buttons) and its the ultimate tiny but fully usable keyboard for the living room. Anticipate actually plugging it into the wii for some mh3 play.
wow that last fight was crazy for a first timer like me. I had so much fun and I ranked up to 2. Thanks guys. Can whoever played with me let me know who you are on here?
edit: I'll be ordering Wii speak and the keyboard soon
edit: ok I have no idea what was going on or who was what. Don't think teko was there. lol

I was Trixie.
Didnt even know Tekno was in there with us heh. Good stuff guys!
That Rathian was a doozy :lol Next time Ill follow my own advice and run away further before healing.
Yea that last fight was fun, especially when he goes into the water. Now that you have a good idea of what to expect, try out some different weapons and start building pieces of armor to get your defense up. Glad you had a good time.

I'm guessing I just played with Londa and d0c_zaius. GGs! (I'm Sil)
Teknoman said:
Ya I could hear you fine Tek, though I do game pretty quiet, so I only said things to alert you guys of sub quest progress.
I put my wii on stereo like the game suggests, maybe my feedback came from the acoustics in my living room. I was sitting pretty close to my tv though, around 3 feet away. (maybe less, but I should probably be sitting at least 6 feet away since my tv is a 46')
I had to mute when my girl got home though, so I had to settle using that non-qwerty virtual keyboard. Using that thing while running away to a safe place takes a lot of practice.

I just don't have the time for this game at the moment. How do you think the online community will be around july/august?

I just tried using the lance again (after many tries) and I think I'll be using it along with my GS. The evading thing is kind of useful by cancelling out the attack animations =3 if you mess up on a combo or your last attack takes to long to finish you can just evade & continue attacking.ZephyrFate said:
Or maybe instead of killing out your stamina when you get hit you can evade from side to side? I donno =o I just remember testing out the lance one the Gjaggies and whenever it did that stupid body slam thing, and when I blocked, it'd take out a chunk of my stamina. (or was I seeing wrong?)
I also recommend that Logitech keyboard..
Awesome..pretty..silent..sleek..well worth the $17.80 two weeks ago, and Amazon has it for a few bucks less now.
Anyway..those fucking cats..
I took the day off yesterday, then jumped back to the game today..and the mission I choose, easy...since I'm starting..
Just collect 3 guts..no problem.
Went there, the ones in the water are easy and usually leave guts..so went there, killed 3..3 guts..easy..back to the camp.
On my way back, 4 cats jumped on me..and I start seeing messages on screen saying that they stole some items..one of them being guts..
Kill the cats, but never got them back..so head back to collect some more guts..and bam!..giant lizard like thing in the water..starts following me..swim like crazy, get out of the water..I run like crazy and it starts shooting blue fireballs (WTF?)...
After trying the same thing 4 times, finally got 1 of the guts i was missing..to finally complete the quest. :lol

It was my fault the first time, had voice receive volume too loud, so I had an echo. Also you think typing is bad, try recording something in your notebook while its trying to bite your face off.
Oh and anyone having trouble with bosses, recognize patterns. Say, when Quro does it's fire clap, get as far away as possible. Watch out when R. Ludroth starts stretching its neck/looks like its trying to pop its neck, because its about to start its rolling attacks.
I want to give duo arena a shot since you can get exclusive rewards. Also what rank do you get Long Sword again? I'm having fun with SnS, but I want LS as well...and I still cant make one, online or offline.
EDIT: Fern, thats some kinda mucus attack, messes up your stamina.
Tougher usually. Giant and midget sizes are usually for event quest. In the normal online/offline quest, the bigger they are the more health and fierce they will be.Hawkian said:
You can get them back..... its at a place where there are many erm, cats? If it is flooded forest then there's no way.fernoca said:
I think event quests change whenever they feel like changing them. Hopefully we see some PSO-style themed ones for holidays and such.
I don't know why but the fact that the big monsters are not exactly the same every time you encounter them has really extended the potential replay value of this for me, even if it's not that noticeable in practice. Such a nice touch.
Gonna do some offline questing now.
Here's a question- I never want to lose this Autotracker skill, ever. How do I keep it when I inevitably ditch the Hunter armor for something better? What options do I have?
