You can't fool me Capcom.
They told me they do not have the bundle in stock hence all our orders has not been shipped.
hm did the level 1 g jaggi arena quest thingy
with the starting insect staff, how come i could onlly get up to 2 stacks of red? color is determined by where you land the shot right so does that mean i needed to shoot at where i hit it the first two times for a 3 stack of red? i'm guessing you can also only stack certain colors too or else you get no effect like hh because i kept sending and returnign the insect with a powerup but it never got to 3 stack?
also is there any point in doing all those g jaggi arena things in rank 1 or just move to rank 2?

計画 means plan!
whatever you do, don't touch buttons that say 消, It's probably nothing you'd want
Don't forget to tell your friends to stay out of the options, trust me.
Color is determined by where you shoot, yes, but what you got wasn't 2 stacks of red. From left to right the first indicator is for red, the second white, the third orange. So you had a red and white stack. Red is attack, orange armor, white amplifies the effect.
The insect doesn't always get the color you marked with a shot, it'll just fly out and try to go for the spot in a somewhat straight line, and if it hits something else first (because the monster moved) it will take that color.
There isn't really a point in sending the insect to get more than one of a color, unless you have plans (it does nice dmg, especially at the beginning, and can stun etc etc).
Just checked and they have it at the local 7-11. Will pick up when I get paid;D
Also, anyone playing this on the standard 3DS? Is it still pretty easy to play or do you really need the 3DSLL?

Oh snap, is this going to be fixed or what? Don't leave me hanging!!!
Edit: oh I see, looks like there working on it. What're the chances they oversold the LE and left us screwed though?

I'm playing on a normal 3DS + CCP with no problems.
I doubt it will happen thou. They even have the old limited MH3G 3DS bundle in stock and I remember it was sold out a couple of times.Oh snap, is this going to be fixed or what? Don't leave me hanging!!!
Edit: oh I see, looks like there working on it. What're the chances they oversold the LE and left us screwed though?
So I shouldn't bother going for white/red/orange and just settle for one color buff?

Gotcha, I guess it's just a matter of patience then
Welp, hopefully it's sooner and not later. LolHow is the difficulty in this game compared to Tri? Ultimate was made alot easier than the original Wii version, that was a bit of a disappointment.
The virus stuff sounds really cool but does it make the game harder at all? Are MH vets just plowing through the end game stuff already?

Btw Oichi, we should collect everyones character names to go with the friend number thing as its a little confusing whos who since user names here vs character names in game is different.
Mine is the following below for starters.

I'm still HR1 too, only did the exploration quests in the guild to acquire materials.
Just got my first real armor, I crafted the Great Jaggi one a few minutes ago. I may now try to craft Aruserutasu's because it's double the defense of G.Jaggi's.
And I have a patchwork of random stuff with maybe a single skill active which I dont even know what it is!
But yeah, more early players, good deal! I'll do the whole friend code thing tomorrow or whatever. I've sent mine to the OP already.
We will play!

I am still HR1 myself, doing village quests atm. Don't laugh but I am not totally sure how to even get online at this point.
Oh I aint got a clue! Something-something guildhall?I am still HR1 myself, doing village quests atm. Don't laugh but I am not totally sure how to even get online at this point.
In order to get the buff, you need to get white + red or orange. Cant be red+ red. If you get all 3 colors youll get def n atk buff, making all 3 slot filled.
dont forget theres green for sm heal.
The bug flys in the direction your char is facing, not the camera.
the color you get is base on the the spot you hit on the monster. The atk,def, white spots depends on what the monster use to atk or what def mechanism it have. Ie. Snake drg, face for atk, body for def, legs for neutral white.

It's real easy, you just need to press the lower right button (globe looking one) then the middle-up bar on the touch screen while in the village/guild hall, then it'll ask you if you want to play :
- offline
- local multiplayer
- online multiplayer
Just select the third option and the prompts thereafter and you're set.
Ok lol, sorry for this massive post. m(_ _")m
Yeah I think that's a good idea, I was pondering doing that for a while, but thought it might be a bit troublesome after we already sent the FC. I can fill some in. If you don't want your name out there hit me with an Insect Staff.

Yah sorry I wasn't more clear, was the last thing I did before going to bed.
Maybe my views are skewed a bit by being lategame, which changes a bit about the effectiveness of things, but here's some more thoughts on the staff.
Marking shot does some damage and the insect can do some things of its own, but really the most damage needs to come from you hitting the monster imo, I noticed I kill faster the more I just whack the monsters. The buffs are nice, especially attack (+white), but I don't worry too much about them. If you give the insect an element attack (or poison if you're not using that rod at the moment) I guess it can make it more effective in selected fights. Also I need to do way less vault attacks, the free-whacking you hopefully get from it is nice, but again, I kill faster if I do only a few of them (1-3), feels more suited for multiplayer.
You can send out your insect mid-combo anyways, which is what I do a lot.
If you press R mid-combo you do a "marking strike" rather than a shot, worth noting. Can make it easier to mark small targets like a small head or thin tail.
If you use your insect from a distance a lot giving it +speed might be nice (I wanted that just for the butterfly), otherwise I'd assume power might be the goto thing, although I usually end up feeling wrong so stamina might be best *laughs*.
Another maneuver that I didn't really get from the tutorial/hunter's notes (fuck the blurry font) is the backflip (back+A), which you can use to get out of trouble or position yourself to continue a combo and/or set up a vault attack (R+B). This wiki has the full attack instructions for all weapons.
Also a thing that had thrown me off was Capcoms comment about the staff doing Impact&Cut damage, never figured that out until now, I figured the vault attack was what did the cutting because of the "slice" that appears haha. So if you're not as unattentive as I am, you might have noticed that Rods come in with two types of insects (drones), cutting damage and impact damage. The first two Rods
have a drone with Impact damage, the next two
do cutting damage.

Ah yeah and RagingAvatar and Ryouga haven't added me, but I didn't send PMs, so yeah. Do it! I'll even PM you now!
The insect from insect staff is the one doing impact. All atk from the staff is slash.
send the insect to the boss face enough, youll stun it.
I didnt really read about the type of dmg (so i didnt know) until I accidently got a ko on gypceros, trying to break its head with my fire insect.

Thanks for making up that list, since it helps with figuring out whos who
Man I had thought that was Oichi that logged into my game with my other friend before the server went down and I brought it up right after. Right as I saw him write hi it went boom. Was hoping at that time whoever had joined would come right back. Sorry bout that. D: Still no idea what Im doing with the room stuff in general and was messing with settings. Hopefully can game together once you get back from the TGS!
One nice feature found out is just how easy it is to join friends which is cool.
Ah thx, yeah that category is for the Drones.
There are Impact and Slash drones.
Ok I'll edit that lol.This game has too many menus to keep track of all the information...
What do you guys use as Airu Otomo? Heal seems nice, Assist is cool but all the traps it laid for me were in terrible positions, making it really troublesome to get the monster in (edge of the map, often get hit out of the map then, or ledge etc).
Finally found a nice LS (so lucky, you're my type!) in an expedition, good explosion sword...BUT, its sharpness SUCKS, no way to make that better eh? (strenghtening doesn't increase sharpness so far, lvl4)
Probably will have to go with DiosSword then.
^Yeah it's so easy to join friends, you bypass all settings by doing so anyways so there's not really a reason to change anything imo (except a password so nobody can join but your friendlist).
He was essentially an endurance run filled with one-shots and had a very small move pool. Any idea on how to unlock him though?
Yeah, I'm watching a fight with him in MHFU, hopefully he's more active this time.

Is
or whatever his face is the end boss of online or offline? I'm curious if all these one-of monsters are post-game enemies or if they're just further stepping stones on the path to some crazy last boss.
Shugala Magura
Easily the single most boring fight in the history of the game. At least Lao-Shan let you beat on him constantly, and was over MUCH faster.
I'm definitely eager to see if they improved the fight and kind of baffled that they'd even bring him back in the first place.
I see thank you!
He is the end Boss of offline even if you fight the new jhen after
At all the Gunlance users: I found two new attacks (this may already been known/posted).
1. If you use A (shell) while pressing the circle pad in any direction, you will do a charge attack (like X + any direction), but you will shoot a shell.
2. If you are near a cliff/mountain/ledge (where you can jump off/over), and press X + in the direction you will perform an overhead attack which also reloads all shells!
Thats all for now, maybe theres more. I only did some fetch quests.
edit: wyvern fire range seems also bigger.

I, for one, welcome our new bird overlords.
There's a lot more very weird headgear in here haha.
Things to avoid: Going into a high rank expedition with a treasure zone and having only 2 pickaxes (which break immediately leaving 3 stones unmined).
