Support NeoGAF

[Bel_Air_Jeff]

So I bought this game and I'm wondering how I'm ever supposed to stop playing. No wonder this thing ate Japan.



What? No. What? Why would you?

I mean, aside from opening up the motherboard and figuring out how to graft an ethernet port onto it? Then rewriting the firmware to support it?

wasn't there an annoucement that said that a 3ds user can join a wii U player online..
My friend has a 3ds and no wii U... I want him to come online with me..

Already have the ethernet cord and the LAN adapter

 

[soxinthebox]

It's a feature. Wii U connected via Ethernet capable can be used to take the 3DS version online , with the 3DS using the Wii U as an access point.

did you have any luck yesterday hunting down an AU copy?

 

[bsej87]

Finally got the game downloaded and going through the tutorial stuff. Any other MonHun noobs wanna embarrass themselves this weekend after I feel comfortable enough to play online?

 

[Filth]

RATHIAN DOWNNNNN.

You can play local but I don't think you can get online together. The app that lets the 3ds get online has to be running on the wii-u so you can't play MH on the wii and use it as an access point for the 3ds at the same time.

Does it matter which region I send the boots to for the charm test?

One is for fishing, the other is for treasure. You don't want the treasure.
You probably shouldn't give them Fish Finders, either. Paddles will speed things up.

Thanks, they've been sent.

Actually, Fish Finders would narrow it down even further since it gives your more items in a haul.

I only had a paddle anyways.

Actually, Fish Finders would narrow it down even further since it gives your more items in a haul. So you can technically find out what table you're in with only one fishing haul.

 

[kpjolee]

Several years of playing almost exclusively RPGs made me realize how horrible I have become at these kind of games. OMG I suck, lol.
I can't bring myself to play online for a while until I get comfortable with controls...

 

[Jawmuncher]

So how do I get the armory to stock up more arnor or to get more choices in armor I can craft?

I completed all 1 star and have done some of the 2 star. It just seems like I'm missing something when I'm playing since my character items haven't progressed since I'm not seeing really anything worth progressing to.

 

[muu]

Farming for my hammer while I wait to see if anyone bothers to show up.

The more monsters you kill and drops you obtain, the more upgrades that will show up for crafting / upgrading / buying. ie; When you kill the Rhinos in the desert and carve them for items, you'll end up seeing their armour set at the forge next time. Or when you kill a Great Jaggi and get one of his drops, you'll find you have a Great Jaggi line of upgrades opened for some of your weapons, etc.

i was having this exact same problem

then i went online and played with other people, then noticed that newer items were opening up

i guess you have to meet the monster first before you can unlock their weapons and armor for crafting

edit: or what evilmario said

More possible armors will show up as you get Items from the different boss monsters. Each monster will have a set.

 

[MatthewB92]

So do I have to do all the 1 star missions before getting to HR 2?

Ahhh ok just wanted to be sure I wasn't missing something. Thanks for the help.

 

[Emitan]

If I'm already several hours in can I still check what my charm table is?

 

[DaBoss]

If I'm already several hours in can I still check what my charm table is?

You can as soon as you're able to send out boats to fish. You then input the haul results into the site's table and then you will find out what possible charm table you have.

 

[remist]

Yea, you can do it at any time.

Oh, I guess that's true. I had thought that it might mess with the RNG.

If I'm already several hours in can I still check what my charm table is?

I don't see why that would be a problem.


Slightly tangential comment: I tried a picture of Dick Cheney on the Miiverse community. I'm kind of disappointed that it hasn't been removed.

 

[kinggroin]

Where are the Bullfangos!?!?

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Had a blast today with my friends, voice chat works really well!

And once you hit HR2 you can fight some really nice monsters!

Where are the Bullfangos!?!?

You mean the DLC quest? Go to Tanzia and talk to the guild girl, then select event quest (I think).

 

[JKTrix]

I wasn't going to get the 3DS version because of no online and Wii U getting off-screen patched in, but after my first meaty session tonight I think I'll be buying it as soon as the transfer app is available. I don't want to put it down!

 

[Teknoman]

So do I have to do all the 1 star missions before getting to HR 2?

Nope, just a certain amount. You'll get an Urgent Quest and that'll promote you once you pass that.



In other news, I think i'm either T7 or T9...either dont see too bad (aside from 9 because I stay away from gunner stuff).

Do I have to DL the DLC from the main menu first?

Srsly dude.. I may end up buying a 3DS solely to be able to play this game when I am not home..

 

[DaBoss]

Yes.

Edit: woooo top poster, yea!

You know how several reviews of this game mentioned how it "will be a game you'll never finish"?

That won't be for lack of trying.

 

[Ken]

Had no idea leather armor only had 1 def lol.

I should upgrade soon...

 

[Infinite]

General question: does the changes to the switch axe made in MH3rd apply to this version of the game as well?

 

[remist]

Is there no online npc to trade items with like they had in tri?

 

[muu]

2/4 ATM, rank1 mobs

 

[dubq]

Do you mean the Argosy guy?

 

[remist]

Do you mean the Argosy guy?

I mean the trading post lady in the online city.

 

[MatthewB92]

Well that helped! Thanks sir!!!

I lied.... still happening

 

[Pineconn]

Do you mean the Argosy guy?

Tri had a woman where you could trade for rare-ish items (with other rare-ish items). It's kind of like the Argosy, but she set the trade items.

 

[Emitan]

So this is good, right?

 

[Pineconn]

My advanced matrix logic skillz tell me that you have either T1 or T10.

 

[Fewr]

So this is good, right?

I got almost the exact same result

 

[dubq]

Tri had a woman where you could trade for rare-ish items (with other rare-ish items). It's kind of like the Argosy, but she set the trade items.

Ohhh is that the old lady with the giant backpack?

 

[ColtraineGF]

So this is good, right?

Looks like a T1 or a T10 to me

 

[lolmark]

Are there any Circle Pad Pro attachments for the 3DS XL in stores?

 

[Codeblue]

So I finally decided to update my game and it looks like the install has totally stalled out. I have a fifth of the bar filled out and my "Time Remaining" has been steadily going up.

Has anyone dealt with this?

 

[Orayn]

Are there any Circle Pad Pro attachments for the 3DS XL in stores?

Nope, not available over here, don't know if/when it's coming. Import version works, though.

 

[Emitan]

Table 1: This is considered a very general table. If you really don't know what to get, as you plan to try everything. This is probably you're choice, the best charms are a good mix of ranged and melee skills.

Table 10: Known for being THE table if you plan to focus on melee. Has many charms with skillsets good for melee. And the charms most believe best for melee are here.

Well that worked out great o:

 

[Gamer @ Heart]

How are you guys finding the time to post?

*quest end timer finishes

Brb

 

[Kazerei]

Is it worth it to make the Jaggi armor set? I'm getting into the 3* quests and I really feel like I need better armor.

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Gendrome > Wroggi >>> All

 

[Orayn]

Is it worth it to make the Jaggi armor set? I'm getting into the 3* quests and I really feel like I need better armor.

Yeah, Jaggi armor is solid. Looks great, good abilities that include a small attack boost, and better defense than basic gear.

 

[Kazerei]

Cool cool. Qurupeco is so annoying, so I don't feel like farming it.

I would say it depends on your skill level. Many people have posted here that they didn't change their armor till they faced Lagiacrus. If you feel your armor is inadequate, then you should change it.

The Jaggi set does seem pretty good.

I'm doing alright, but I'm worried about Barroth
