I keep forgetting to complain about this but wind pressure, my god it's such a pain in the ass to see your hunter stuck flinching for what seems like forever.

when in the box, tap X to sort your stuff.
works with you quest inventory too, and can be very useful!
edit : beaten
so I will take advantage of the new page :
how guys do you "instant GP" with CB? I can only do the trick with a X swing before, and that has too much delay to work on close attacks...
There are two guard point opportunities:
1) Press R+X at the same time when in sword mode. You know if you successfully do the guard point because your hunter will slot the sword into the shield before changing into the axe (if you press R to guard THEN press X, the slotting is bypassed)
2) Press R in axe mode to do a spinning side slash, which will bring your shield forward. I believe this is the same animation as press X after a dodge but I've not tested GP'ing with that.
It seems like the roar and wind pressure was buffed in this game.
That needs to be my group's mantra. >_>

Can't help with that but if you want a shiny new CB join me for some HR Nerscylla hunts.

can't join right now, but I'll be down in let's say 2 hours. If you're still there I'll join!
edit : sorry for dp
Also don't worry too much about the timing for R+X, it's actually very generous (the blocking will stay active for about 0.7 seconds).
Standard Tigrex is a recommended monster to practise GP'ing - he will charge at you no matter the distance, and his charge is heavily telegraphed. I think there's a caravan 4 quest you can jump into quickly.
Rapid shot shouldn't be a negative, it's a great shot type! For pierce shots to be good you need a long monster and spread shots generally suck at hitting the weak points, something that's so important to getting good bow times. Rapid shots can really hone onto the head and deal some good damage.
Basically:
Pierce is amazing in certain situations.
Rapid is great at getting at weak points and for all purpose bowing.
Spread isn't very good... It has it's uses though

Should be. Anyone else for some HR 4? ID is a few posts up.

Finally HR3! I have used the S&S 5 times and hammer 70 times. Might have to start upgrading and using something that will let me start cutting tails.
I'm coming into Monster Hunter 4U with about 20 hours of MH3U under my belt and I can't express how much more satisfying it is to begin a Monster Hunter game with some foreknowledge. Hell yeah, I know how to cook a well-done steak. Hell yeah, I know what's up with those weird goats. I'm ready.

If you love the hammer and wanna cut tails I would recommend you give the switch axe a shot.
the axe mode feels similar to the hammer without charge attacks and slightly slower, while the sword mode lets you go to town on anything. It's pretty fun!

I thought so. Though i don't mind the roar flinch since that makes sense but wind? Why.gif

Lets see if asking again helps:
What's is the best mining strategy at beginning of the game? What is the best quest to mine?
I'm to weak to fight Yian Kut-Ku but the amount of minerals I'm missing is just ridiculous.

I switched start/select in options to Kick, with a CB out that maps to morph
Go into the Gathering Hall and choose the Harvest Tour quests. 50 minutes of zero pressure mining
I hope this is still up. I'm joining.

Capturing a Gypceros is incredibly annoying. It does so many things that makes it seem like it's about dead but apparently it can still escape a trap at that point and the next two in even worse states. Does it have to literally be laying belly up crying for mercy or something? I'm going to have to bring trap and tranq crafting mats galore since it barely lets me hold a handful at a time.

Great game, seems better attuned to new players in early quest mode but still not an easy game in the wide world of gaming. I like most of the new monsters and old ones often seem more aggressive, entertainingly so. Poking around quest level 7, HR3 in hall. First thing to give me momentary grief so far was actually the Purple Gypceros 7 village quest. Expecting to divert a bit to do some Yian Garuga GQ.
Very much skewed towards Insect Glaive here, where I focus on a Fire/Poison/Blunt and a Dragon/Ice/Slice Rare 4 for now. Secondarily back to GS.

you didn't use electric traps did you?

Only for the last one which it didn't even go into because it just flew away.
Doesn't work on him.
Seems the cats start talking more when you are in HR, does that depend on their level too? They hardly said anything when I was early in the game using them. Maybe their enthusiasm was too low, also, how do you feed these guys?
Fully agree. Not as terrifying going up against monsters and learning how things work, like combining etc, is much easier.
Still some new things to learn.

Really? I only use electric traps and I've captured a few gypceros.
Funny, it walked right through the one I brought with me. That's probably why the starter bin gives you a pitfall trap instead.
Yeah, it shouldn't be working on him. He's made of a rubbery substance.

Has anyone ordered this from amazon?
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00E94MQ7I/?tag=neogaf0e-20
It looks like a nice carrying case to throw in a bag, but i'm very skeptical because of the listed shipping options. They each say that there is no tracking number and no "insurance" (whatever that means). Also it says that you should get it in 30-50 days.
I'm very much on the fence regarding a purchase. Any thoughts?

you have to feed them?!?
i seriously hope none of you guys do this
I still fear the day I accidentally hit X and resort my equipment box to the horrible default.
Page 1 and 2 for talismans because I get new ones constantly.
Page 3: Weapons. Columns 1 and 2: Greatswords. 3 and 4: Hammers. 5 and 6: Horns. 7 and 8: Lances. 9: Gunlances. 10: Other.
Page 4: Armor. Each set lined up in its own row. None of this grouping by hat, chest, arms, etc. garbage.

Well all I know is this thing was making heaving noises, taking long pauses standing still while we just tore into it, attempting attacks it couldn't do anymore, starting a charge and falling over, and it still escaped the trap after I dropped 6 tranq bombs on it's face. I guess I just have to wait until it plays dead and set a pitfall under it. That seemed to be it's usual last move, but it didn't always get to it.
do you really need to carry the CPP? that is a kind of limitation since most cases/pouches don't take the CPP in mind

they should let set "sorting types". I use X every time I put my head in this mess and I find your method awesome, but, like you said, I would be afraid to make the mistake.
Not really, talking to them they imply that you have the option to, but it mostly just increases their enthusiasm. Prevents them from slacking, on occasion they will just crap out and lie there licking themselves.

I have the New monster hunter 3dsxl so I don't have the CPP, but i'm glad that the picture shows the CPP on the older model 3ds xl, so I know that my XL should fit

You're confusing a monster running out of stamina with it being captureable. Gypceros playing dead is something it does at low HP but isn't necessarily the same as it being cappable. The two telltale signs are it limping away and it going to sleep.
If you want to know for sure, though, the armor skill Capture Guru will let you know via the paintball icon on the map flashing.

You know....now that you mention it. I always bring shock traps but both times i've gone to cap it I had decided to use the pitfall trap because it was the free one.
I guess in my mind I just jumbled it up lol.
I alternate between hunting with them, getting them to train and then resting. Most quests seem to advance 1 day, so I try and cycle my Palico chums as much as possible. Still wish I could swap out my main one sometimes.
You can also bring a support cat. They tell you when it can be captured.
I bough this and works perfectly:
(that's my n3DS)
and its also pretty cheap: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IFWSDAO/?tag=neogaf0e-20
another more expensive option is this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00D84DRNC/?tag=neogaf0e-20
I've seen in person both and they are pretty good, the second one is very nice, but not that nice to justify the extra cost from the first one
Punch arrows!
Dear Bow Users,
We have read your complaint and decidced we'll be taking Bows out of the next mainline entry again.
Kind Regards,

That means it's tired. It just needs to be low enough on health to cap. Limping and going to sleep are sure signs you can capture it. I was kind of baffled by that in 3U. It's a little counterintuitive. I don't think it's confirmed Gypceros is always ready for cap when it plays dead, either, it might just be when it's relatively low on health. Wait for the limp.
Mainly used on those annoying buggers that charge you mid fight.
