Can't play on Saturday.
I also want to get some better equipment and get a refresher on the mechanics before I hop online again. I'm sure we'll find a time to play together. ^^
No doubt.
Edit: question for folks playing online. You use voice chat or what?
I personally do, and typically introduce myself to the room I join. Also, its a lot easier to call strategies and coordinate (or berate team members) than typing during a lagiacrus spear-head dash attack.
I think it's because each set of armor has two versions, a blademaster and a gunner version. If you currently have a blade weapon equipped you won't see skills for the gunner version, and vice versa.
I think. =)
That actually makes total sense to me.. I did have a blade attached.. and I also noticed the "-" button would switch between Blademaster and Gunner sets. Good to know! Thanks man!
Hey guy's, mind if I ask a quick noob question?
Bought the 3DS version, and loving it so far. Using the bow as my weapon, and bought some coatings for the arrows. How exactly do I use them?
Also, I seem to have zoomed into the map, making it hard to follow, and I can't figure out how to get it to it's default setting.
Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.

So much info on the wiki. This is a lot to take in for a first time MH player. My mind is boggled.
Im currently wearing Hunters Armor but am thinking of moving into Great Jaggi instead. I also need a new weapon but am unsure of which path to take or if I want to start a new one. BAH!!

Can anyone reupload this? Its blocked in my current location.
Since low rank Wroggi cloths give you +5 Status, I put decorations in it to hit 10+ Status on mine. If you're using anything Paralysis / Poison wise, it's something to consider. To make those jewels, you have to farm Bnahabra. Kill them with Poison Bombs for the easiest results.
A Water weapon will come in handy, because three of the big monsters there are weak to it.

They significantly increased drop rates in this game, at least for low rank. In Tri I had to fight about 30 Gigginoxes before I got a Fearsome Maw, and now I get one literally every single time I fight him. Never saw a Rathian Plate and rarely saw Rath Marrow in Tri and now I've got 2 plates after 10 fights and plenty of marrow. Same deal with Qurupeco's flint stones.

Hmm... I'm not having the same luck as you...
There is voice chat integrated into the gamepad.
You press the voicechat button at the top of your controller screen.

Think they're making it easy on you for the regular and high-ranked items to get you hooked, then laying the hammer down for the G drops.
just click the top right of the screen that says mic on and you can use your WiiU as a mic.

That's... significantly more convenient than I imagined.
I'll test this.
Desire sensor needs patching.

It's better quality than some of the headsets people use online.
Anyone know if these re pretty rare now? I can't get one to drop at all. Never used to be hard to get.
Weird bailed, I'll set up a room, Free play 3, lobby 7, GAF, password: . Neo, wanna join us?
Edit: nice playing with you guys btw, Kouriozan, then Weird and whoever else that was.
Yea that was pretty cool!

yeah, it was pretty good. can't wait for next time!
if you're using hammer just go the Frozen Core route. Very easy to make (farm tundras for a while) and should be more than enough to get you through the lower-tier village quests.
Yeah the quality is very nice. Also I LOVE voice chat in this game, sooooo much better than typing.

How is this game solo on the 3ds? Is it true that there's no multiplayer at all? Will I miss a lot not getting to experience multiplayer or should I wait to get this on wii u?

It's amazing solo.
Dammit Barioth, give me your spikes. I need a new HH.
He's a bit trickier to fight with a HH in this game than a hammer in Tri (HURRR SUPER POUND) but he's still no big deal. Evade+1 helps a lot and once his wings are busted a speed boosted HH can consistently whack him on the nose during his longer recovery animations.
Wonder if capturing will give me better chances at spikes. I should only need 2 more if I go the arzuros gong upgrade route.

Hopefully I'll get to put a lot more time in over the weekend, it's getting so rough for me to sit down and binge into a game... Mixing this with EO4 and the middle of a New Vegas Ult play through isn't helping.
Then all the other new shit coming... slow the hell down, video games.

The Peco paralysis hammer is always fantastic. Being able to stun and paralyze is a thing of beauty.
My personal favourite is the Dead Eye, a Fire hammer, that comes from the War Hammer tree.
For me it's exactly the oposite. Will probably play less over the weekend because tomorrow I get Bioshock Infinite.

I've never given the series a try, but it has all the makings of something that I will obsess over for months (loot, crafting, etc.).
So, I went all in and got the 3DS and Wii U version. Am I doing it right, GAF?

Probably should have picked the Wii U version first to see if you like it and then get the 3DS version.

Hunting Horn question: how many music types are there? I played the demo, and that weapon had clearly different music effects from the bagpipes you start off with in the main game. Does the guitar you can get later sound like a real electric guitar?

To people with the 3DS version: how's it play with the CPP?

I just started playing on 3DS an hour ago (at work right now, WiiU version is waiting at home).
How much do I need to play/what needs to be accomplished before asking anyone here to team up?
Newbie, played on Wii for 10 hours solo though.
Amazing, got it for my XL yesterday. It's melting with my hands. Wasn't a fan of the original cpp ergomincally.

You can live just with the Wii U version. But the 3DS version is very nice (love that framerate) and lets you take it out with you. Wii U has all the same features, save Streetpass and has online play.
As a general rule, most rare drops will occur more in multiplayer by a few percent.
