I burned out on Monster Hunter after 500+ hours in the very first one for the PS2...
I have to ask, is this one a little easier in the whole finding a team and etc.?
Seriously... that game burned me out when you could spend upwards of 2 hours just trying to find a suitable team for the harder quests :/

Fucking Lagia horn!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The first time I've fought a Gigginox: My team and I eventually took it down and trapped it after I've nearly depleted my supply of Mega Potions (10 of them) and regular potions (also 10 of them) from getting poisoned several times. We then proceeded with the farming mission when I returned back to the cave, and lo and behold Gigginox was free. Me team all start running to take it down once more. Holy crap I was completely out of potions and not a single ration left. I run back to camp only to consume the last remaining rations and rest, then go back to assisting it take it down. My God after getting swallowed and poisoned several more times and trapping it again, our only remaining crew with enough stamina left head back to camp. 3 Redstones left and 5 minuites ticking on the clock. We could barely run to camp and we just made it enough to finish on time.
So yeah, Gigginox. Crazy.

Look for frogs near the shore where you find Ludroths in D. Island. Use it near the lake in wetlands to fish Gobul out. Subquest complete.I Push Fat Kids said:
There is a Friend Rooster search. It makes it easier to finding your teammates especially when you can warp to their position.lsslave said:

All of my praise for the Bowgun redo is gone, in the end it just winds up wonky and worse off. I am so glad they're reverting it for Freedom 3 rather than trying to fix it when it was really never broken.
Parts are too limited, and the separation between them is just weirdly balanced. Everyone just tries to make Mediums and you wind up with even less selection than before. If you had the 18 hojillion fodder monsters from MHFU it might work, but this way I'm not enjoying it.
I'm also still annoyed over the Bow removal. Bows were underplayed but they were conceptually great. The game needs a second ranged weapon at least. They should really bring back Bows and H.Horns (and totally redesign horns) and put em all on Gunner armor.

They play fine, better than ever due to the few tweaks, especially inate zooming. I'm probably ans close to expert level as I'll ever be at anything in this game at actually playing with them as I've been usin' em as a primary since the PS2 original, it's the system in making and customizing them that's needless and empty, it's actually forced me into a melee primary and its a bit sad for me.
It's supposed to grant more variety, you wind up with less in the end because everyone wants the exact same type of gun and there's very few parts to go around. Maybe it opens up in high rank but for now it REALLY sucks and I'm missing the old method of just buying the whole thing and sticking what upgrades I want on it.
Also, in the end it's a minor complaint, but why does an individual bowgun part cost as much, part wise, to make as an entire weapon. It's obnoxious. Like if I'm looking at a combo I was interested in, it'd take a plate, a maw, etc, just silly.
+new stat types
+inate zooming
+cool new ammos
-some old ammo could've used consolidating or tweaking in this type of reform
-low part variety
-high cost
-medium tier muckup
-should have handled rapidfire better with the reform
I see. Personally I love it but I do agreed about the lack of parts initially. It will open up later on.
Just like charms and armors, people will be wearing the same type of armor during low level, but once they figure out the system and have plenty of charms in their disposal, they will start wearing different combinations.
As for the cost factor, I think it is a way to prevent people from using the same gun combination just like the armor with the random charms. But people will have their way anw.
Btw the tail cutting bullet is pretty useless IMO. Takes way too much bullets to cut a tail and its not easy to aim at all.

Don't you think Hunting Horns we're redundant? I mean anyone can carry a health horn or whatever. All it really had on the hammer was distance. If they retooled it into something like the SNH where it was like a fast and weaker blunt weapon it would be cool, I think. A club, or maybe a morning star type.
I played Bow on MHF and I just found it super weak and no where near as cool as a bowgun. Made it redundant as well. Not to mention boring!
I agree in the end the bowgun retool has too many drawbacks. I was pretty disappointed by the amt of parts available. (And I've seen them all, even the ones that don't "exist") But tbh, the Lance is so perfectly tooled now I couldn't care less, lol.

I really like bard type stuff, so you'll never get me to pan it! I think the idea of a centralized buffing class is still a great idea, but the H.Horn was just too clunky and the note system not fleshed out enough.
They should retool it so you buff (add debuffs,please) by attacking the monster. And Harps might be a more unique method than a club like horn. I don't know. I just like bards and feel they should get more weapon classes on gunner armor.
The bow had great mechanics. I really liked how it was about charge levels and, and I thought it worked better mechanically, mobility wise, than a light bowgun. Bowgun wise I'm always about heavies, personally. It'd easy to tweak damage output on those.
The anti-Dragon Bows were super fun not to mention cool looking!
Bows in general are great looking in MH.
I was huge on Lance in MH1, but I kinda got sidetracked when all the new stuff came. My friend raves about it though, so I'm wanting to try it out again too.

Quoted for truth
I had so much fun with my Akantor Bow. It helped that it looked baddass too. Only ranged weapon i ever used.
How does the elemental damage work? Is the elemental damage added to the physical damage or is the elemental damage part of the physical on a weapon? I'm asking since I have a Ludroth hammer that has about the same physical damage as my bone bludgeon, but it keeps the sharpness better. I'm about to attack a Gobul now though, and it seems to take no damage from water. Is it still worth it to use the Ludroth splashhammer on him or should I switch?

I wish more people would play with Bowguns. I think I've only encountered three Gunner in the circa 25 hours I played online and I found them to be a great help and probably the most constructive part of the team. I'm personally not a big fan of playing with the Bowgun myself, though.
Slice ammo cut tails only.Sammy Samusu said:
Nope, thats the only option. Anw you will get used to it in a while.Lyphen said:
IMHO, bowgun is the strongest weapon in team play. They are sort of like a playmaker (or in soccer term, a midfielder) in the team.slaughterking said:
Those record timing videos which I seen, the key usually lies in the gunner.

I hit my first slump yesterday and didn't feel like playing MH at all . After beating offline mode there is nothing to do, I really don't like how they tied high rank to online only.
All my freinds aren't into this game as much as I am and trying to pull together a group to go through online mode took a few hours yesterday. It's very frustrating. I'm really considering joining up with you guys instead of my freinds.
I upgraded my Ceadeus mail with my adv armor spheres and it said level 5 was the max. It's possible to go beyond that making the standard sets as def potent as the G sets? If I understand correctly that sounds awesome!

The duo quests do get unlocked but I don't see any benefit from doing except for the sake of challenge. Right now I'm in a "I wanna get stronger" mood.Tenbatsu said:
I'll see if I can't coax my freinds into taking the game more seriously and work towards high quests.
