I'm playing online with a guy who is hanging out with his 6-year-old or something. its pretty hilarious and he's showing her how to monster hunt. Maybe one day she will be among us.
Finally tried both. Wi iU version looks incredible. Save-data transfer worked without problems. Created a characters on Wii U, did the first/basic quest, saved, sent it to the 3DS; everything was there. 3DS version looks great too.
Anyway to change the colro of the first/basic armor? Character started with a yellow-ish/gold colored armor. And the sword..the icon is glowing on the screen any idea what it means? I thought it was broken, so I wasted an item trying to fix it for nothing.
While I've been playign Monster Hunter since the PS2 days, I'm still a relative noob to the series.

Anyone know what's needed to make Plesioth waist armor piece show up? (High Rank)
Does Plessy drop some sort of gem or plate?

Just throw them in your item box for now. Just keep gathering and collecting items since they can be used to make armor, weapons, make item combinations or to give to Junior to improve stuff around the village.

Intro cutscene. All the guys are wearing thongs with crotchless and chapless trousers lolol.
Monster hunter shoulda shipped with a set of binoculars, can't see shit. (Text).

Yup, bought a Wii U just for this. The next games that interest me for this system are the new smash bros and X.

Not sure I feel about having access to all basic weapons at the start of the game.
?? Sell them.

Not what I mean, back in the day you started off naked with just a basic sns. Having access to extra seems a little, bleh. Not really a big deal though.
Makes it easier for everyone, now you don't have to farm stuff in order to get that stuff. Just choose your weapon and you're good. I'm still using the Leather set and I'm about to face Ceadeus (after I beat Agnaktor). I loved the convenience.
New to MonHun, still learning. Is there a way to increase your bag capacity? I offload everything except the true essentials before each outing but I fill up on items before I even explore 1/3 of the zone! What's the solution to this? Try to be more selective in what I retrieve? Problem is I don't really know what items are more useful apart from their rarity rating which is a bit vague.
Well at least you can return to town pretty much instantly no matter where you are. Guess that's something.

No. You either transfer all three or nothing. You,could play on same wii u, but different wii u profile. If it keeps completely different save files I think it could work. I havent tried it, but I dont see why this wouldnt work.
What items do you always bring with you?
To me, the only essentials for gathering are pickaxes and bug nets. (Of course, I'll bring a cold drink for the Volcano.) For low rank quests, I'll add in some potions, steaks, and whetstones.
For some monsters you'll want to bring other items, like antidotes and flash bombs. Otherwise, try to go light so you don't have to throw anything away.

Your bare essentials shouldn't take up more than 5 slots. If you're running out space, focus on what you want to collect. Eg, Monster parts + ores. Discard what you need the least. You need most things you pick up, some less rare items are used for combinations, but don't worry about that until you start actually combining things.
If the table resets every time you select the file to continue, woulnt that make characters even more unique? Sure, there'd be minmaxers who would stay at one table and never close the game, but the rest of us would have a bit from all 17 tablea instead of all charms from just one of them.

He must have really gotten nerfed hard, then. Barroth was a big stumbling block in Tri.

This game is what caused me to finally get a WiiU. Don't regret the purchase in any way shape or form. Especially when factoring in how many family "NintendoLand Nights" we've already had.
Really curious to see March NPDs. Will there be a noticeable bump in WiiU sales from February's 66k? Since MonHun physical copies weren't exactly abundant, and NPD's don't count digital IIRC, I doubt we'll see a correlation between hardware/MonHun sales if there is an increase in WiiU sales for March since I feel like there has been a large number of digital sales for this one.

The better question is: Is Nargacuga still a motherfucker?

The panel system is somewhat inflexible. I would like to have the map zoomed out on the TV and the map zoomed in on the wii pad and it won't let me.
Yeah it's one or the other. My gamepad is set up for the map, item pouch combos and emotes. Anything else like quick item select (eg potions) seems really pointless having on the gamepad, under pressure I don't have time to take my hands off the controller.

I don't think so, but I never thought he was one since fighting it is always fun.
I liked fighting him too. In Tri he was way faster than anything you fought previously.
Well, they gave him a new move (fast hip check). I think he feels a bit harder than in Tri, but not by that much.
When you're gathering, IE picking up everything, you really only need to bring pick axes, bug nets, potions and steaks. When you're on a hunt, you should be prepped for the battle. Potions, Whetstones, steaks, traps, antidotes(if needed) flash or sonic bombs(again, only if applicable) and your best gear. Hope this helps.
I'm hoping HR Barroth returns to taking 80% of your health bar off with his charge.
Wow, really? I hated fighting Barroth in Tri so glad to hear that.
...please tell me that thing isn't actually in this game
It is, and so are two subspecies. One of which is invisible.
Urgent plz

Games that are based on patient play tend to attract a more mature crowd. Games that are filled with trigger-happy, instant gratification gameplay tend to attract other sorts...
Even when I get people who sound like they're 12 in a random match they're very polite. Monster Hunter = best fans.
Not being competitively driven helps too.

Yup, I said it before but the MH community is generally a nice bunch.

This makes me interested in the WiiU version when I eventually get a WiiU.

I only need one more Pelagicite Ore and I still have two areas that can contain red mining spots.

Also man I think I'm really bad now. Village Duramboros and Lagiacrus took me 25 mins with Ludroth DS and armor set. :| Did another round against Lagi but brought Pecco HBG + Alloy set and capped him in 15.

You're a big guy.
Ah it is good to be back in these locales and with (some of) these monsters!
The bow is serving me very well. I like the swiss-army knife feel it has, with being able to poison or exhaust and paint my foes in addition to killing them. I feel like I am more actively contributing to the team than in Tri where my Switch-Axe and Long Sword could sometimes feel as if I was hitting these monsters and other people just so happened to be doing the same. And occasionally getting in my way.
Be sure to add me as a friend, I'm on the list
