I got table 13 too. Its not cursed. Thats all I care about.
Nope. You'll eventually learn to separate gathering quests from hunting quests and to learn what to take or not. It can be annoying though.
Not that I know of... basically you just have to constantly manage it and only bring what you need for each mission. Too bad they don't put the item box next to the guild sweetie
Charms and talons, yo!
Snagged a copy at a local game store early (EU), yay!
One minor annoyance though: is it just me or are the save times ridiculous for the 3DS version? It took me a good minute and a half to save my file at my bed. I thought perhaps it would just be that first time when it created the file, but it was the same after. Doubt it should matter much, but I've got a class 10 card, which is better than the default, and I have most of the memory free.
edit: whelp, looks like I'm not alone then

I'm reading that people who experience it have slow cards and that the default card saves quickly. I've got a 32GB class 10 (Icidu) card though :U
Driving me nuts!

Wow, that's not right at all. It only takes me a few seconds to save on the bed, and I also have a class 10 card.
I just started playing the game yesterday. New to the series, and I have a few questions:
- how does the game work? I restored the camp and went directly to online lay, where I played with 3 other players for a couple hours. Is this the right way to progress my skills or should I focus on single player first and then dive into online?
- During my online play I got a lot of items and elements. I stored them in the chest on my hut. Do I need to take them out to forge weapons and armor? or being in the chest is enough?

Being in the chest is enough (Thank god!)
When I first played Tri, I think I played around 10 hours worth until I was confident with the mechanics of the game - I was pretty comfortable with my lance and I understood the capturing mechanics and such. I went online soon after. It's probably best to go offline for a bit I'd say - even if it's just to farm resources like herbs/mushrooms/honey for mega potions. Having said that - there's nothing wrong with jumping online straight away and learning that way
. I just preferred taking it at a slow pace and learning each new thing step by step.Out_Of_Ammo

So, what's everyone's weapon of choice? I've been mainly using hammers since MHFU, I just love to knock the monsters unconscious

Hammer and Switch Axe right now, depending on the monster and my needs. I'll be adding the Bow once I get online with some others. Maybe I'll finally expand into the Great Sword realm as well.
edit: Oh I guess Hunting Horn will be given a shot once I'm online with others. I do enjoy assisting.
Single player's main benefit is for resource gathering, notably using the farm to grind resources, the fishing boats, etc. You can completely ignore it if you want though.

Great Sword for now, Longsword and Dual Swords later.

Gun lance!

Definetly GS but I'm going to put a lot of effort into learning the Horn. I love the whole concept of jamming on some cranky music in the middle of a fight. Plus the moving speed boost on the default pipes is awesome!

Lance and Hammer right now. I love the way the dodge works for the Lance.

I'll try something new (if Amazon ever sends it on time
)for soloing : Gunlance or hunting horn
for groups : hunting horn or gunner (love gunner but soooo expensive)
Do the hunting horn "buffs" affect all players in the area ?
Generally I'd advise playing SP first to get your farm and NPC companions, as well as learn the basics of gathering and building armor/weapons. But you can do whatever you want. After clearing certain quests an 'urgent' quest will pop up, clearing it will allow you to access more missions.
No need to take anything out unless it's an item you want to bring on a mission. You can even combine from the chest.

Still going strong with hunting horns. The temptation to fall back onto hammers and destroy everything in my path is there, but I'm determined to get good with HH. I'm really enjoying its moveset but I miss the hammer's power. I do like its reach and combos though, I actually use it a little bit like how I played MHFU longsword.
Still a bit miffed that I vendored that rusted GS. I want to pick GS back up too at some point.

So do you use the same character in single player and online, and share items between them? Have played the psp FU games so not sure how it works here.
I wouldn't say its gimped at all. In playing the demo for both Wii U and 3DS I actually preferred the 3DS but I do have an XL. With the 3D off the 3DS actually looks smoother than the Wii U.
However the 3DS multiplayer is only local so you need a bunch of buds in the same room to have a full 4 player hunt.
thank you.

This may sound really dumb...but I tried out a gunlance, and not only can it not fire, but it seems to have less moves than the regular lance. How/where can I get and equip ammo?

You didn't happen to get your card on ebay (or some less reputable seller,) did you?

I'm thinking of giving HH a try this time too. I didn't really care for them in unite since it just felt silly killing a monster with an instrument, but the buffing system does seem interesting.
Yes.
There's going to be an update that will let EU and NA play together. But I'm not sure when that is.
Nope, bought it in a proper electronics store here.
Saving the game without the SD card inserted takes roughly 3 seconds. This is insane.
Hmmm, smaller, less expensive, portable, looks better...sounds good to me. Thanks.
Edit: Hmm shit, local co-op only, that's a bummer.

Rocking a gunlance right now. Having a blast har har.
Well you just got past the 1st wall (Barroth). You can now call yourself a monster hunter, congrats!!!

I spent ages gearing up Sword and Shield but later found out that I prefer the Great Sword. Would like to check out Dual Swords and Bow.

They are very, very different now. And much better. The fun part is that the recitals are actually some of the most powerful attacks so learning how to safely activate buffs while landing attacks is really interesting.
It has a 'super pound' that doesn't require charging, so you can carry over some hammer skills. The hitbox seems identical as far as I know. Obviously the damage is not as high but it sure does mess up Ludroth since you can spam it over and over and he keeps turning his nose into it.
As for KOing, I was able to KO Lagi/Barroth 3 times before killing them so it's not like the weapon lacks in that respect...as long as you learn how to use the upswing. The 'super pound' doesn't KO very well.
Congrats to me for what??? :S

Yep. I bought both just because of that and already have a Wii U collecting dust. If the 3DS was fully online like Monster Hunter 4 is supposed to be then I doubt I will pick up the Wii U version.

Cool, definately going to try them out now! Will probably be a welcome change in playstyle.

So far it's been lots of Hunting Horn and Gunlance, with a bit of Switch Axe thrown in occasionally. I have a couple of lances too but literally haven't brought one on a quest yet. The other weapons have already been upgraded too far for them to keep up!
Yes. Wild Axe also has a Fire path, and there is another unique Fire SA later as well.
