So how do your second screens look like?

Mine is like this:

Gonna change it soon.

EDIT: This is the 3DS version.

I'm using this.

With the Hunter Search at the top, the Dpad shrunk a bit and pushed to the top right, it aligns nicely with the 3DS XL buttons and makes for easy access during combat. I don't have short fingers, but some people with smaller hands had been complaining about reaching the virtual Dpad. I hope showing them this helps.

Finding random crafting things that I need really makes me miss divinewh.im

 

[Doorman]

I've been running around in the Sandy plains multiple times in the past hour and a half looking for carpenter bugs. I've only found one. GAH

I found Carpenter Bugs in Moga Woods section 4. If you enter from the south entrance, drop down and go to the right and there is a little crawl space. There is a bug spot there that has Carpenter Bugs.

^ Yeah this. You'll have better luck finding Carpenterbugs in Moga Woods, just grab a bunch of bug nets and go freehunting a bit. They weren't present in Tri, so I've been a little annoyed at how often already my progress has been halted to go collect those bastards.

 

[edwardslane]

Golden fishbait .. how to make that again? need to keep the golden fish around in that first quest. I remember that giving me probs in the wii version haha only quest not complete in 1*

I'd heard that they were easier to find on the plains, thanks guys! In that chamber with the felynes and that shrine-thing?

 

[FreedomFighter]

A'ight, fuck it... I'm about to get started on the Wii U version and shelve the 3DS version for now. My evening is now dedicated to MoHun.

Anyone wanna hunt online later tonight (

Spoiler

once I get myself established and have some decent weapons/armor...

)?

Aww, I'm in the Top 20 and I still don't have the game >.<

Yeah, that's the spot. Should be to your right when enter that room

 

[Apenheul]

Am I right that MH3:U's monsters seem to do more damage than in MH3 but less than in MH:Tri? I've only played a bit of the single player campaign so far, up to four star quests, and I'm breezing through the game again.

 

[Gorilla Shark]

How many single player quests are there?


Can't wait to get home from work and try this game?

 

[21st century cowboy]

Game shipped today so I should have enough it buy next Wednesday. Really can't wait to play. It will be my first MH game. Lee_Morris if you want to add me

Aww, guys, it's my first GAF wall of shame appearance! I imagine MH3U alone will take me past junior status

 

[Ghost23]

How do you access the 5000 DLC resources?

 

[Chuckpebble]

This is my first time charting, very excited!

How do you access the 5000 DLC resources?

You have to use the DLC menu before you load the game, but I think you can also access it from the cat in your village room. It gives you resource points, which enable you to fish and farm etc in case that's what you're asking.

 

[Ken]

How do you access the 5000 DLC resources?

Main menu DLC.

Wyvern Fire sleeping Diablos in the face for the kill is satisfying.

But there is still some work to do.

And I'm helping you if you reply to me

Anyway, I really really hope I'll get it tomorrow.

I'm not so sure about the damage the monsters themselves are doing, some of that could just be attributed to your hunter starting off with the full set of leather armor rather than the nothing you had in Tri. I definitely think that the health of the first Great Jaggi you encounter was lowered, though, and Arzuros has practically nothing. Now that I've gotten into fighting the Qurupeco a few times it feels like things are starting to balance back out again.

 

[Deadstar]

What's the best way to play this game, Wii U Pad or pro controller?

 

[Darkgran]

I need a good beginners guide. Any good ones out there?

 

[bequietdrive]

^ This, would be very helpful.

 

[Raide]

Social Dissonance and Teamwork Cast if you want the YouTube video type of guides. They cover all the weapons, plus have various full playthroughs and also nearly 100+ MH videocasts showing off online play.

i just went into a lobby with random people in it and we (and by we i mean they) beat up a niblesnarf (?)

im the only person without armor pieces that match and the sharpness for my weapon is so low that most of my attacks bounce off of its skin

fortunately i didnt cart

like... thats my claim to fame here

 

[Emitan]

I'm the only one of my friends who's played single player so they all have bad armor and no potions~

 

[NeOak]

You can make es !

(Translator's Note: es means it)

"es" is a conjugation of "ser" which is "to be"

The correct word would be "eso"

 

[Satch]

how?? all i've been doing is playing single player and all my stuff is shit

i dont even have the option to make more than three different kinds of switch axes, and the one that i want to upgrade to, i cant get the parts for

I killed Diablos offline with the starting armor and Bullfango gunlance. I'm going to look pretty gross online lol.

That is huge! As long as you don't cart, I imagine that most randos online will be cool.

Now that I've gotten into fighting the Qurupeco a few times it feels like things are starting to balance back out again.

Indeed, Qurupeco was the first monster which was decently challenging again. G Rank should be a notch above MH:Tri's High Rank difficulty level I think, so plenty for me to look forward to.

 

[Gala]

No store in my area broke the street date today. Now I'm sad.

 

[Eusis]

Oh, it's a joke? I'm sure translators around the globe are cracking up then.

Actually it seems like that's just part of the joke: the other part is

him insisting "Neko means tiger."

 

[Out_Of_Ammo]

That is huge! As long as you don't cart, I imagine that most randos online will be cool.

Even when you cart, I think the MH community is pretty forgiving and helpfull. I played Tri a lot online and rarely came across assholes.

 

[Ryuuga]

Waiting on the transfer tool. I started on Wii U sometime last night and created a character on the 3DS earlier this afternoon. I prefer the 3DS version by far, primarily due to the framerate and mobility is an added bonus. So far Im not even seeing the true benefit of playing this on Wii U beyond legible UI and font in HD.

I'm wearing Jaggi Armor so its not like my armor is great, but I've been gathering and farming so I have a lot of spare potions.

 

[Ivan A Nguyen]

3 failed trapping attempts. I'm either running out of tranks or kill the old bear. Still having a blast. I just wish the wet stone vendor sold traps as well.

 

[MarcoZombieCannon]

Alright, Arzuros armor set complete! He seemed so hard in Portable 3rd, but that may have been how early you fight him or something. On to Qurupeco!

 

[Snapshot King]

What is carting?

 

[Samurai_Heart]

Dying and getting your ass carted back to base =P

Key things are making sure that it is ready to capture (Limping away), else you waste tranquilizers and hitting in the face if possible. Once you get use to it, it becomes easy but those are the things I had to find out to make it work. There are other tricks but the above things are the basic things to do to get it working.

Thanks for the offer.

The shop lady sells you Trap Tools. Combining Trap Tools with a Thunderbug or a Net will give you a trap. You need to get a Thunderbug by catching it at bug-catching spots. A Net you can get by combining Ivy and a Spider Web.

That's nice of you to do. Will watch.

So in what direction did people go in for their character names? Real name? Forum name? Etc?

I can never decide if I should use my real name or not. My name is unique enough but always wary if I should use it to be honest. Especially if I'm going online.

Edit: Chances are I'm going to dip into the name pool I use for mmorpgs.

Sounds about right. /v/ said that monsters in MHP3rd did insultingly little damage, but they definitely seem weaker than Tri to me.

 

[Satch]

I'm wearing Jaggi Armor so its not like my armor is great, but I've been gathering and farming so I have a lot of spare potions.

whenever i go to make jaggi armor, it says that my hunting type (or something) cant wear it so i never bother with it

what type are you?

 

[Peru]

I need a good beginners guide. Any good ones out there?

For purchase this explains the basics of the series and 3rd gen, not specifically walking through this game http://weloveculty.com/collections/monster-hunter-beginners-guide

Sure you're not looking at the wrong Jaggi armor? There's one set for gunners and one for blademasters (melee weapons).

Forum name. I usually use Mu in games where I can, but I saw a dude here named Muu and I don't wanna cause confusion. Plus it'll just be easier to tell it's me.

 

[DaBoss]

whenever i go to make jaggi armor, it says that my hunting type (or something) cant wear it so i never bother with it

what type are you?

There are 2 types of armor. Blademaster (melee) armor and Gunner (long-ranged) armor. Gunner armor can only be used by hunters who have a long-ranged weapon equipped and vice versa. A helmet can however be worn be either, but it would be good to have the normal helmet so you can get all of the skills in the set.

Forum name.
