Are there announcements anywhere regarding the events and when they come out? I could find them easily in the PSP version but I can't find anything officially pointing to them in this one?

Got my copy this past weekend. Picked up the bundle and a Wii Speak. Wish I could get a keyboard, but all the cheap ones I've found in the store don't have long enough cords. And I can't really justify spending the money for a wireless keyboard after the money I already spent.
Finished some of the basic tutorial stuff, I'm making my way through the one starred quests now. Will jump online once I start tacking the two and three starred quests. Games a blast so far.

Oh god, the same thing happened to me. This game is absolutely driving me insane. It's that good. I'm up un Tundra now, and everytime I play it I enjoy it more.Kyuuketsu_Night said:
Not used to combining and farming materials yet, but when you're out on a hunt, using just what the Guild gives you, running dry, and complete a subquest and get more items is so satisfying. Will hop online when I get home today.

I'll be online for a bit. Recruiting, wisdom 1, gate 40 (selenae). Up for anything.
Dunno but i would guess so. I just plugged my stupid dell keyboard in and it worked.botticus said:

If you can get to the point where you've fought a boss level monster like the great jaggi, you'll probably be fine. [Beaten!] Being familiar with the game before you start is more important when playing with random pubs.schuelma said:
You can probably make money faster by playing quests online, so you could buy a better set of armor faster than working at making money solo.
I've been playing with random pubs pretty much the entire time (it was okay when I was doing 1 star quests) and it's hard to find decent groups doing 2 star quests. If the people are any good, you have to take what you can get, and last night that meant doing freaking gobul something like seven times in a row because some guy couldn't get whisker drops for the head piece. -__-
I'm hoping it's a server-side issue that they can fix, but it's just above useless. If you somehow get everything positioned correctly (mic, speakers, person) then you can understand people, but it's not an easy feat. But considering the alternative if you don't have a keyboard is to use the in-game board... Wii Speak is still worth using. I could repeat myself a half dozen times in the time it takes me to type anything with that.Hobbun said:
My friend had his speakers up too loud or too close to the mic so I could actually hear myself talking, and I could kinda figure out what I was saying. :lol

Yep we had some good runs, sorry I had to bail out. The batteries in my wiimote and keyboard were pretty low. So I took the chance to have a little break and some lunch.
-WiiSpeak-
I played earlier with sprsk and we both had wii speak on. Communication is ok when you are in the city, but once you go on a mission and all the other sound effects are sounding off, it gets pretty hard to understand anyone on it. Also, the chat cuts off when it loads/changes into the new areas. Keep that in mind when you are wii-speaking.
So my apologies, sprsk, I was not ignoring. I just couldn't understand you.

I had a dream that MH3's developers were hired by Nintendo to help Aonuma with the new Zelda and the results were gorgeous.
Does that count as a MH3 dream?

You could always get a USB extension, theyre pretty cheap, and considerably long. I use one to extend the length of wire when charging my PS3 controllers.
On topic, Ive been following this thread closely, and I really cant wait to get this game (despite never having played MH before). Will probably pick it up next week, money permitting. Will look forward to the online, you guys seem very patient with newbies
Sorry if this has been asked before and I'm incredibly embarressed to ask this; doing the Kelbi Horn level 1 quest, I'm not really sure how I'm supposed to get them, it says to K.O them but I only ever did that once accidently and have no idea what I did. Any particular items or weapons that'll help me with this?

SnS or Hammer. You want to "bash" their heads until they become dazed. If you just straight up kill them with say a great sword you are more than likely going to get a warm pelt instead. I was messing around on a new character last night and was on that quest with a giant bone sword. I had to kill 29 of them fuckers to get 2 horns to drop because I couldn't K.O. them reliably without the SnS or hammer. I did sell 25 warm pelts at the end of the quest though and made 1000z with enough warm pelts left over to make anything I could need!

^ Yeah, S+S shield attack (A button) will knock them out for horn-taking.
Edit: only try the x+x greatsword combo if you're using one of the base swords... any upgrading is almost guaranteed to kill them instead.
Also, if you're looking for the much rarer Blue Kelbi Horn (for upgrading your bone sword for instance), wait until one of the larger male Kelbi spawns... you'll notice there are green ones and blue ones. When you spot a larger male who is blue, KO him and you get a blue kelbi horn almost every time.

I'm pretty sure the shield bash (with the sword and shield?) is the best at it. I use the great sword, and the little spank thing will knock them out usually.
EDIT: Yeesh, beaten like 12 times. I think next time I have a decent chance (for 2 hours or more), I'm going to head online. It's pretty tough during the week, but I might be able to get on for the first time tonight.

I prefer keeping the pelts around for trading.joelseph said:
Great sword is a little tricky if you're using one with too much attack. If it's a low end GS, you can unsheathe attack and hit the same attack button to do the blunt attack K.O.
If you're using a GS that will kill with an unsheathe attack, you should aim a bit to the left of the target in order to miss with the first hit and hit it with your second attack which will hit anything a bit to the right of the initial attack.
The lance shield bash is trickier to pull off than GS because the distance and timing seem to be less forgiving. I haven't tried bashing them with a bowgun to see how that works yet.
