Is anyone else getting a lot of lost connections with the save transfer tool? I'm pretty sure it's the Wii U's fault. I always have to reboot the Wii U for it to work.

 

[Charlatanized]

Is the Brady digital guide worth getting?

I appreciate the hell out of the fact that we're looking at a 500 page plus strategy guide here in the states, but I've found it lacking in some pretty basic stuff when I do a word search (for example, I couldn't find any info about Azuros armor in the whole guide -- of course I haven't read the whole thing; maybe my PDF viewer's search function doesn't work well). In my experience, I've found more valuable information with basic web searches (the Monster Hunter Wiki, etc.) that come up with user-generated Monster Hunter Tri content. It'll get even better when more web content comes up for 3 Ultimate. If you're playing on the Wii U, the fact that you can't display it on the GamePad (the browser doesn't support PDFs) is also a downer.

I'd definitely play but just started to charge the gamepad.

[The Mana Legend]

This is my first Monster Hunter game.

Good GOD it's amazing (Wii U version). I have 17 hours in the game and I just started it yesterday. It looks like I won't be having a life for a few weeks.

 

[NekoToshiro]

Nice fix.

Also to play with the Wii U online you need a USB ethernet adapter. . . . .

One more thing, what does streetpass do for this game?

 

[Prade]

As a MH beginner, do I upgrade bone or iron gunlance? Does it matter early on?

In the beginning, Iron weapons generally have more sharpness, while bone weapons have more raw damage. I'd say stick to what they give you in the box and just keep upgrading them.

Americas?

Can't remember. What's the easiest way of advancing a day outside of taking a quest? Is it even possible?

Search for "Arzuros" instead.

Plenty of items show up, including the armor.

 

[Vermillion]

Game bought, but can't start until tomorrow.

 

[DaBoss]

Does that work instantly? I remember trying that, but I actually had to do something in the woods to progress a day.

Might want to edit out the quote! Wish I was online with everyone. I'm away from home so 3ds it is for now.

 

[Airan]

Notice how the element is greyed instead of being pink like the other Poison weapons? That is because there is this skill called Awakening which will allow weapons without an element to obtain an element.

Yep, I figured as such when I checked the other weapons and noticed the elements were a different colour, while the unAwakened ones were all grey. Excellent, now I can plan ahead for my weapon sets!

ouch... my connection is bad tonight. so suddenly disconnected

Thanks I don't know why it showed up I quoted after he fixed it. SORRY!!!!


So no one knows that the 3DS street pass does? It shows a green dot for the game but I can't find anything. I wanted some ingredient I don't have much of.

 

[Zornica]

just got a rathian plate... and I don't even need one.
they are hard to get, right?

I believe it just exchange guild card with other hunters.

You'll probably need one later down the line for a weapon or armor set. It's pretty rare, yeah.

Also, Stoutbones are from High Rank Arzuros, right? Need them for this Plesioth hammer, aka my Uragaan killer.

2 minutes.

 

[Effect]

Enter Moga Woods > Return to Village

Doesn't work. I thought it would as I think it did in Tri but in Ultimate it keeps the forecast on the same day.

Edit:

2 minutes.

Ah. Thanks. I'll give that a try.

 

[saveweyard]

Well, I just confirmed that I don't have any of the cursed tables, so that's a relief. I don't really care what table I have, as long as it wasn't cursed. Also, can't have table 2, but table 10 is still a possibility! Need to get more charms (or those sites need to come back!).

 

[DaBoss]

2 minutes.

Thanks, need to get that farm to give me more stuff.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

For some reason I thought that method worked for advancing the day. I think you gotta kill a few monsters then when you enter Moga Woods? Or at least the boss monster that's there.

Edit: oh, cool. 2 minutes.

yeah, I also wish the guide had the basic graphs, weapons trees, and more detailed information about what I'm working for and how to get it. But the monster drop guide is very useful...

 

[CaLe]

So I played the demo and didn't really fall in love with the game. I found the worlds a bit barren, I could see how the game could become addictive though.

Is the demo a good representation of the full game ?

Thanks

 

[bitoriginal]

Can we check charm tables yet or is the website still messed up?

The demo is horrible and not a good representation of the game as a whole. It's only good to get a feel of the combat, but there's just so much more that the game offers. Online play (Wii U), crafting weapons/armor, other maps to explore, etc.

Far from it.
The actual game has you do a lot of farming and upgrading your gear. Also it does a better job of easing you into the mechanics and getting more familiar with the world. Plus the online system is great.

 

[saveweyard]

It was still messed up for me 5 minutes ago.

 

[bitoriginal]

Pretty interesting that most people are playing without being certain what charm table they've got. I was compelled to do it at the beginning but I kinda dont give a shit now... I might do later though

 

[Alcotholic]

Its disappointing that I cant mark down the resources I need for certain things like I could do in Tri. I have a hard time remembering how many I need. I guess it will be time to pull out the pen and paper...

 

[kuroneko0509]

That's not necessarily the fault of your connection. Same thing happened to me while playing with a few GAFers.

Two days gone, 17 hours put into the game (though granted I had it running a few hours in the background). Jeez.

I see. Well, got dced twice in a row tonight. I guess there's really a problem with my uni connection.

 

[Fistwell]

Why hello there. I thought you had bailed out because of how obnoxious Faust was.

My interpretation of the series:

Think of Monster Hunter as a pseudo-fighting action game with a focus on fighting monsters larger than
you. Combat is deliberate and makes you time things like you would in a fighting game. Gathering materials,
crafting, and upgrading equipment is how you'll get stronger. You'll basically never finish the game. Think
of the game as Smash Bros in terms of single-player vs multiplayer. Single-player is fun, but multiplayer
is a hell of an experience.

I don't feel the demo does much justice as it lacked many things about what makes Monster Hunter addictive and fun.

Also, watch Eurogamer's Let's Play: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g70IW3BN8yU

It gives a better understanding of the game's beginning. Watch more YouTube videos about it and you will probably get a better understanding, but playing it is the best way to understand it.

B-but I want fun street pass things. Like challenges or something!

So much fun going after lagriacrus! omg that was intense.

Does this game drain the 3DS battery really fast for anyone else?
I'm only getting like 4 hours on 3DS XL

Yeah, that was a lot of fun!

 

[Bankoiia]

I so wish I could swap the functions of the LR-triggers to the more comfortably placed Z-variants. Having to constantly switch positions with the index fingers is a pain.

 

[CaLe]

Thanks for the answer guys, I guess I'll give the full game a try !

Hopefully it allows for short play sessions; Getting married soon, and I just can't find time to play a lot of games nowadays. 1-2 hours gaming sessions is what I'm looking for.

You can.

Go into options and it's type 2 of one of the categories.
