You realise that you can help break the chin with your SA too, right?
im not a scrub; i told him that i was going to cap, but he was too busy yelling at me and raining arrows all over the place to pay attention. he always had it in himself to tell me "satch bring -insert item here-! satch move -insert location here- so i wont shoot you!" but he couldnt be arsed to listen/read
i was helping break the chin with it but i had to be careful because my only switchaxe is the slime one
i was doing my best to not cause too many explosions, so i was allowing the other swaxguy to help with the chin more.

Good story Satch.
on the bright side, i finally have my Grongigas hammer
i never have to look at my brachy hammer ever again!!!
edit: nvm
i like being able to tag along and do impossible quests (with my current stuff) as i just try not to die in the background when playing online.
I'm miles away from the equipment a lot of people have online, i definitely feel pretty useless not being able to take a hit

Man, fuck grinding Village Ceadeus. Why couldn't they make it an online fight too? Every one of his weapons requires crooked horns which don't even break until the last part of the battle and even then, you have about 60%(
chance of carving them. I really want that SA but fuck it.

I just fought a Jade Barroth last night for the first time. What a badass. I like variety but I really like when I come across the monsters that are aggressive and in your face. Probably because I'm a hammer user and all the dodging(or attempted!) is a lot of fun(and his foot hitboxes aren't stupid annoying like some others. Looking at you, Rath twins and Plesioth).
During the fight I kept thinking of something, which I'm declaring J./Barroth's theme song. That rerouting shovel run he does is rough. I got smacked with it a few times before developing the good sense not to keep treating his attacks like OG Barroth, though I should've known better after seeing P. Ludroth do the same thing.
I haven't looked yet but I'm guessing J. Barroth's looks as cool as I expect and I'm going to want it. I spent most of my time so far playing with regular Barroth armor, though, so I'm not sure I want the same style again. Maybe just for fun.

Any time you want help with early quests, post here. You'll make progress, and you won't feel useless.
Wish I could play today.
I've got family in town, specifically visiting to see me before I move. It would be so rude to run away and play MonHun right now, lol.

I'm about to pick up this game tonight for Wii U, any tips/resources you would recommend to new players?

Bit the bullet and just started a new save file :/ I figure if I can just sit in on some of my friends' g-rank hunts I can get a powerful weapon early on and just blast back up to their level.
Also I defeated my first Great Jaggi in under five minutes, so learned skill certainly seems to count for something

I didn't think i was going to beat the lagiacrus in time or at all. I had 2 minutes to spare and was on my last continue with no almost no items. I think 1 more hit could have ended me but I beat it with my blade sharpness in the orange.
Now I just need to upgrade my weapon or make a new one that way i can stop with all my battles nearing the end of the timer every time I do manage to complete them.

Make sure you keep upgrading your weapons and armor.
Quick questions:
1) This DOES work cross-region as advertised, right? Eg. NA player can play with UK player.
2) How substantial is the co-op? Can I play primarily co-op with a buddy and get the most out of the game, or do I have to play through some silly singleplayer stuff too (to unlock stuff, for example)?

The game is primarily designed around multiplayer IMO, its really meant to be played that way. There are a handful of singleplayer quests you should do early on just to get the mechanics down though. And ask lots of questions here because the game is very bad at explaining things

Who's the monster at the end of the opening? That's not supposed to be Rathalos, right? Looks way more OP.
If you mean the dude with his arms and horn coated in green stuff he's the Brachydios, he provides a fun fight and loot to make slime weapons. You'll meet him in High Rank.

I mean the black and red dragon that's shown after Brachydios and the MH logo, sitting in a pool of lava.

Yeah, through the Gamepad.
I really need to play more online. In single player I'm at 7* quests but I'm only Rank 2 online.

Oh, right, my mistake. Thanks. It looks like it means business.

Relatives are leaving today. I should have time to hop on today.
What time are people looking to play?
Dire Miralis definitely means business. The Dual swords you make from him are awesome, too.
Most definitely. I think knowledge and skill are far more important than gear (though gear definitely closes the gap). A crappy player with great gear is still going to be crappy. They'll just look real good while getting their ass handed to them.

2) Everything is available both offline and on/co-op. You'll need to play offline for upgrading your canteen and for masks but it's not necessary. Before you'd need to "beat" offline in order to unlock a certain monster in Tanzia but that's no longer the case after some recent DLCs.
Attn. people new to the game, take a look at this:

Kiranico is by far the best web-based information source for MH3U. It also formats quite nicely on a tablet screen!
Any G rankers up for some event quests tonight? Would love to make the Bushido dual blades to match my jhen mohran samurai armor.

This is great, thanks.
so I did the table 10 charm thing when I started, and I tested to make sure i had table 10, but all i've gotten for charms are TONS and TONS of bowgun charms. Nothing yet even remotely useful for a blade master. note that I've only just started High rank, but still barely any useful charms.
was it the same way for anyone else who got table 10?

I tbhink table 10 doesn't mean you'll be swimming in amazing charms, it just means there are pretty good blademaster charms in it, so you'll have a teeny tiny probability of getting one of those someday (which is > 0).
I'm on t13 and also got plenty of those during low and high rank. I think you start getting good charms in HR volcano runs, but like the rest of the game, the great stuff doesn't start until G.

Once you reached G-rank, you can do charm runs. If you're impatient, you can start with High Rank already. But G-rank charm runs are where the best charms are at.

Been trying to farm some of the better charms on table 8 while on vacation. Somehow I have every worn weapon except for the long sword, 4 pairs of duels, 5 great swords, yet none of the charms I actually want.
Got all the artian sets. Not nearly as bad as I've heard it was going to be. Think I'll work on the bard set next.

I started playing this over the weekend and I've been having a blast. I played Tri on Wii back in the day, but its difficulty was too much for me and I quit after beating the Ceadeus village quest.
This time I opted to become a Hammerbro instead of a lancer and it's going so much smoother. I worked my way up to Gobul and crafted myself a Carapace hammer. I am a little lacking in armour, so I'll have to put my foot on the breaks for a second and grind a little bit for clothing. Once I work myself up to a reasonable load-out, I'll try to venture online.
I have one question though-- I remember Tri having subquests that boosted your rewards. Did they remove this or did it become hidden information? It seems a little odd for them to remove it.

I did that peco quest for about 3 hours last week for the savage jho. He really isn't that bad. Actually had an easier time doing it with 3 players rather than 4 as the our 4th was random and pretty terrible most of the time.
No I meant that you don't have to jump through hoops to fight him. I agree, he is the most fun fight in the entire game.

I think I still prefer the "cage" match between two Jhos, but yea, I really enjoy playing this guy.
Evade Dist + evade +2 w/ gunlance is a ton of fun for me.
I love people that used drugged meat on this guy.

Here's my dilemma:
I'm HR7, but I'm really having a lot of trouble meeting people who are on the same page as me, much like Tri Wii where everything seemed to work out. I think I'm too much of a completionist; I like to finish every quest at each HR, but most people just do keys (skipping non-keys and advanced quests).
I'd love to play with some Gaffers but whenever I find anyone in a room, everyone is way beyond me HR-wise.
Anyone here near my HR that would be interested in linking up and knocking out a ton of G-Rank quests?

If you want to complete certain quests, regardless of the reasoning behind it, just make your own lobby and market your "target" accordingly.
It's really not hard to fill a lobby in G-rank.
You're HR7 and on G-rank, so I don't really see the problem. I'll be there in the evening (CET, I'm in Europe).
