I think it counts as a brute.

It's classified as a Brute Wyvern.
Dragons have 4 limbs and wings. This game only has
two, Alatreon and Dire Miralis
There's some stuff in this series classified as 'wyverns' that really baffled me (Hi Akantor), but there you go.

How is the 3DS/Wii U co-op? Could my boyfriend and I go through the entire game together like that happily?
Will be our first MH...

Alright, so I don't have to worry about my -15 dragon.
Oh, you meant the attack type. The funny thing is in past games, some wyverns had physical attacks classified as dragon. Rathalos' charge and almost everything Tigrex did, for example. So people would go into the fight with -25 dragon resist, get nearly one shotted and think HOLY CRAP WHAT THE HELL.
This game it's usually pretty obvious when it's a dragon attack. Look for purplish dark crap that puts a negative affinity blight on you. It's very rare, but you'll know it when you see it.
So basically the dragon attribute is not that useful in the game?
Ahh okay, I'll keep an eye out.

Should be great. Just know that you both need a copy of the game.

Yeah I was just wondering if we'd get a smooth co-op experience. How does it work, are we both running around in the same world or...?
I was just wondering if we'd get a smooth co-op experience. How does it work, are we both running around in the same world or...?Well, the weapon element is like any other element. It's generally good against the larger more powerful monsters and does little to something like, I dunno, Qurupeco. It's great for Rathalos and the elder dragons, for example. Works on Gigginox too but not as well as fire.
The main issue is that the weapons themselves are fairly rare. Rustshard stuff for example.

Starting a room. Freeplay 3, Lobby 9, same pass, etc.
I'd like to hunt either Aknaktor or Giggi first, but I'm HR2 right now so it's whatever yall wanna do if Giggi isn't okay.

Yeah
There are quests for both solo and multiplayer. To play multi you go to the port, to play solo you go to the village. The quests are seperate and generally it's a good idea to do the solo stuff as well to get your farm up and running.
but the online/local multi works like
1. You join the multiplayer area (the port)
2. You create a room
3. Friend joins your room
4. In the lobby area you post a quest, and you can get your equipment/items/buffs set up
5. Do quest
6. Return to lobby and repeat
For clarification the game is not open world, it's mission-based. Think Diablo, or PSO.
It's really true. I put in over 300 hours in Tri between two characters, and in neither of them did I even fight Ceadeus and barely got into high rank online. Granted, I did a bunch of free-hunting and worked my way through slowly, but there's no shortage of content here.
I've already sunk 40 hours into Ultimate. That 300 hour mark from Tri is going to fall, with ease.

Nothing super interesting, but Giant Bomb just posted an audio bit with Patrick Kelpik and Brad Muir talking Monster Hunter at GDC:

Where are we listing our NNID's? I just got my Wii U setup and will be playing tonight/tomorrow online. Just in case, NNID is nicoga3000

Just did - thanks!
Yay!
unfortunately it will be impossible to start playing it before the offtv update..
Is it supposed to take a long time to finish all of the village quests? I'm hearing about all these people who are already in HR offline, and I'm only on 4 star with around 25-30 hours played. Granted this is my first MH game, but still that seems really fast to finish all the monsters that quickly.

It gets a LOT faster when you've got 4 people per monster. I jumped online the first time ever two days ago and was astonished at how fast we were just absolutely smashing things.
34+ hours, 1 or 2 quest left before High Rank for me.
...
...
profound sadness. :'(
I don't wish this to nobody.
What's the problem?

Hey weird I think your data was wrong...somebody said Rathalos was wrong and I checked the wikia and it's true, you had ice/water/dragon but it goes dragon/thunder/ice/water.

Awww yiss I decided to focus on Jhen's arms this time, which resulted in a slower kill but I still had 5 minutes left. And breaking both got me four braces! Which is exactly how many I needed. 2 bloods too.
Now I just need another earth dragongem to complete the set. Not holding my breath, and Volvidon legs get the job done just fine thanks to torso up. But I need 2 more elder dragon blood to upgrade this hammer so I might as well keep going.
If I get really, really bored after I upgrade the hammer (need to progress into 8* quests for the volcano, I'm still 7* village) I'll make a SECOND Jhen set as well as his HBG. Seems like it's an extremely good gunner set and the HBG is as good as the old Lao cannon. Like I said I'm stuck offline for a week, and that upgraded rustshard hammer should be capable of very fast Jhen clears.
...I can't wait to finally go back online, do Jhen, and have someone ask me if I know what I'm doing.

Yeah last night we took down Gobul in like 3-4 minutes, was pretty insane haha. And Diablos in about 10.
The monster was out of reach,I couldn't carve it,I needed its claws to combine it with the power charm and armor charm,it's just like watching a Plesioth dead in the water pre-TriUltimate. :'(
Unreachable corpse, probably.
It's annoying playing with people who insist on fighting/attacking monsters right at the boundaries of the areas that can be traversed. The shakalakas do this all the time as well
You don't need to kill a jho to get a talon. Just make it hungry and wait for it to go eat something and drop a shiny. Those shinies are very frequently talons.
It happened to me once, couldn't get near the monster because that would makes me change aera.
