They let you register armour sets.
It would be fantastic if they let you register loadouts for items.
Have a capture loadout.
A kill loadout.
A gathering loadout, etc...

Yeah I saw, good news for Nintendo and the Monster Hunter franchise!
Have there been any US chart releases yet?

Really, I'd be happy if they let me go to my storage after I've accepted a quest. I pick a quest and then want to prepare, not the other way around. :\

That would be pretty great. Although sifting through items prepping for a quest and deciding what is crucial and what can be sacrificed is part of what I love about this game. But yeah, for the very basics it would have been nice to have included loadouts like that. You'd still have to edit around them so you wouldn't totally lose that (plus you wouldn't HAVE to use them).
Also, what is up with the video your tag links to?

~14,800 blocks, iirc.
EDIT: Hi there, top of new page.
EDIT2: Guess I was wrong. As someone else already said before, it's about 14,800 blocks.
So looking at this more it appears that affinity is not nearly as big of a deal as I was treating it. Lots of the high low affinity weapons according to this are quite good.
http://mhvuze.de/3ucharm/fishEN/index2.html - this one just returned. Only took 5 minutes. I'm guaranteed not to be in 11, 12, 15, 16, 17. Seems I might have gotten into 10. Out to sea they go again!
1. Different shot types for different monsters. Spread is nice for large monsters. Pierce for long monsters, and rapid for everything else. Higher level shot typically goes like...you will do more damage but you must hit every shot to see that damage boost. It's usually best to fully charge anyways.
2. Arrow rain knocks allies away so it's not advisable to spam online.

Not to sound patronising but sure your gamepad volume is up so you can hear their replies? That was what happened to me at first ._.

My charm table was confirmed as 10^^ Great, now I'd like to know if that table is for all characters in that file or do I have to create a new save file?

No idea man. xD
I went into a SimCity thread and talked some shit when Arthur Gies was on a twitter-rampage...or people were on a rampage about his twitter.
Some other guy referred to SimCity as SimGies. I think one of the mods meant to give it to someone else.
15 minutes later I have this tag.
I really have zero clue about it. I find it funny though. What it should read though is, "I went into a SimCity shit-talking thread and all I got was this stupid tag!"
No difference it seems. Just as shitty/un-good as before it.
So, are they starting some of the monsters your char encounters for the first time enraged right from the get go? Is this a thing? Narga was insta raging on his first fight. I thing zinogre was as well, though I don't remember any details... fight was kind of a blur (3AM, drunk, and after several days of not sleeping enough).

Hmmm walked by a WiiU MH pack today.... was very temped. 399 euro maybe slightly too high. :S
Hmm I didn't plug in headphones so maybe their sounds were getting drowned out. I'll keep that in mind next time I'm just hoping I dont have to buy a first party headset just for MH3U haha.
Is this still working for you? It seems down as ever to me.

I'm about ten hours in, but I have to say that this game has almost single-handidly made my Wii U purchase worth it (not that it wasn't before). I was pretty down on the demo, but I figured I would give the full game a shot and i'm glad I did. I still take issue with certain aspects of the game, but I can see myself playing this for a long time going forward.
It worked for me today. you just got to be patient. It won't work on the first try ofc.
Can I use traps to capture monsters in free hunt mode? (outside the village)

Chat mode isn't on by default. You probably have to tap near the top of the gamepad screen (where it's telling you that chat or the mic or whatever is off) to turn your mic on.
Didnt it use to be that you could only cut narga tail when he was enraged? Do pitfall traps now also work when he's not raging?
Hahaha! Servers being maintained by incompetent dumbasses sounds more likely.

So how are people's opinions on helping others farm? Was playing online yesterday (got to HR2 online) and it seemed like we were just steamrolling through everything, but now I feel like I should upgrade my armor, partly because I noticed that my current armor lowers my status attack (and I lurv me some poison arrows). I'm thinking I'll go for Rathian unless I find something wrong with it/something just plain better that wouldn't take 4 ages to get, but I don't know how willing people would be to spam killing a Rathian over and over.
EDIT: Might also shoot for Giggi armor, but it comparitively looks lame. :/

A lot of people just want to get to the high rank quests, but if you want to farm, just ask them and I'm sure they'd be glad to help. I would at least.

Picked up a 3DS XL last weekend on sale and I've been playing this nonstop... like 24 hours in 2 days. Haven't done that for a while.
I had only really played Freedom Unite before this but didn't get a lot of time in, this one is hooking me more for some reason.
What's this charm table stuff? It sounds like something that you have no control over that can screw you over?

This is what I prefer to do. Find a group and just start farming monsters together. It's much more enjoyable to farm with friends.
Those who want to rush to the "end-game" and kill the hardest monsters with a group are fine and dandy, but I find no enjoyment out of that. Besides, I feel like a HUGE skill gap in MH is the ability to solo something (with Cha-cha of course!) vs not.
I should have everything ready to go in the next few days and will be joining up the online fun with GAF. That being said, I'd love to help farm as I work my way up the ranks.

Yeah, and the less attacks you do, the higher negative affinity you can get away with. For instance, don't worry too much about a GS with -30%, there's a good chance your charge attacks will be full strength. And in previous games, you would offset that on a great sword with critical draw. Although, I heard something troubling about the way that skill works in this game. Instead of crit draw guaranteeing a critical draw attack, it adds 100% to your affinity during a draw attack. So a GS with -30% would mean that you have a 70% chance of getting a crit on a draw attack, but at least you wouldn't have to worry about a wiff attack.
If you can't find anyone here for farming help you could always make a room with "farming" as the name and the Target as whatever you need (you can search rooms by "target" also). I got a few people to help me kill Zinogre a bunch yesterday.
You can search for rooms that are after a specific monster. I did this last night for Rathian because I needed a plate for my Jhen hat, and we just burned through the high rank one a bunch of times. On a related note always blows my mind that people join rooms that say they are going for Rathian, with 'Rathian' in the title, and then start asking to do Rathalos or Lagi or something.
As for Rathian set it sucks. It has a long tradition of suck, actually. But I guess it'd be ok early on before you unlock decent health boosts in the canteen. And Rathian's pretty easy (or just not as annoying as Rathalos) so when you just hit high rank and are dying for something with decent defense it works.

I'm no pro, but from what I can tell for general purpose you're going to charge it all the way up to "Charge 3" (two flashes) whenever possible. I tend to like bows that perform "Rapid" at charge 3 (it's something that you can see in the weapon's stats, the arrows will behave differently at different charge levels). Using coatings is, for most bows, a necessity, with Power increasing your attack by 50%, and the rest doing whatever status you're applying. Paint Coating is also really useful, as you don't necessarily have to worry about putting your weapon away.
As for when you're fighting, you want to try and stay at a distance where your arrows are hitting the monster right around the peak of the arc. I changed my "Quick aim" options so that holding R doesn't screw with my camera as I aim around, so that makes it easier to do that for me. Always always always go to Charge 3, unless you want specifically the Charge 2 arrow behavior. If you just press X and let it fly, you're doing 40% of the arrow's damage, at Charge 2 (one flash) you're doing 100%, and I believe Charge 3 is 150% or something like that. Elemental damage also goes up every charge.
One thing to note, that I still have a bad habit of doing, is trying to hit the monster before they hit you. While your arrow is being pulled back, as long as you have enough stamina you can still dodge (but with Y for some reason...), but I find myself trying to hit the monster asap before he hits me, which of course plants me for that moment, getting me hit. Bow is an oppurtunist, don't be like me and fail to take advantage haha. Also aim for weakpoints, which is typically the face. I find it a LOT easier to hit their heads with a bow and stay safe then I do with a melee weapon.
Personally, I like the Rapid lvl 3 as my 3rd charge on a weapon, as then I can usually get 2 or even 3 of the arrows straight in their face. Mhmhm. Good.
EDIT: Following this sort of generalizations I've been able to take a Raw bow (the Wroggi Revolver) up to Lagiacrus with little to no effort. All I need is a cha cha to occasionally distract whatever I'm killing to give me a few more free shots. I will say though that the Raptors are a pain in the ass, for the sole reason that Bow is terrible at taking out a large number of small, midgety monsters, so I have to just keep running.

Oh, I now remember why I was stuck on 3* village for so long on Tri. Did the capture Quropeco quest on the bus which made me feel pretty pumped, decided to do the Gobul Urgent since I still had some time left.
Gobul was all "lol no" proceeded to kick my ass, didn't help the sun was reflecting on my screen so I could see even less than normal. I did remember about halfway though my beatdown that I could fish him up at certain areas, but don't remember any of the details
Lol yeah I got it a bit ago but I'm waiting until I'm back on my comfy couch to attempt. No way I'd try it on the commute.

Watch this. YouTube is full of videos of people using various weapons to wreck shop. Bow seems to be about anticipating movements and exploiting elemental weakness.
