3DS limitations I guess. And yeah, it's quite a problem...
Always fun when one guy is obviously out of potions and runs back to camp for more. Once he's used those up he's running around fighting at 10% health and you're still just sitting there spamming FOLLOW ME and trying to get him to take your Mega Potions as he runs right past you three times
Glad I could help.
We really wrecked that Gore Magala, huh? The poor thing never even went into frenzy before it died.

I've noticed that Ice weapons are surprisingly lacking up until mid-late High Rank. It was the same in MH3U as well and drove me nuts.
How do yo give someone potions?
go to the items list in your pouch, select the item and chose the "give" option, then select how many you want to give and to who you want to give it..
when you finally position yourself in the give position a beep will ring in the hunters sound and the receiver need to press A in front of you to receive it
it's worth noting that you can only trade item from rare2 and bellow.. so no carve trades or rewards
they say what they do in the description
some expand the item/equipment boxes, some adds info from the monsters to your monster list
I believe the monster list books only give you a little description of the monster to read in your Hunter Notes in the Start menu. There's also the records for shortest/longest and number of times killed/capped but that's on your Guild Card too I think.
for multiplayer the crouch options is good since the monster doesn't always focus on you as the target, but on solo the crouching fire is worthless as more than half of the time you will be hit by the monster in either the set up or the proper shooting
as a personal recommendation, take out the limiter, the crouching fire is not as good as having more power in th HBG

All this talk about charge blade has made me switch over from Long Sword. I've blasted through a few tutorials and I'm now ready to roll.
It's only available on higher rank guns, starting at rarity 6.
It depends on the gun, your playstyle, and what you're fighting. For example, I'm solo and using a weapon that gets 11 shots of my primary shot (normal 2) when the limiter is off. It's very, very unlikely that I'll ever get in a situation where I can fire more than that in a row safely - a successful mount barely gives me time to fire off all 11. In that case, siege mode is pretty pointless and you benefit greatly from the increased power.
I generally almost always take the limiter off because that's my playstyle, I usually just make a fast reloading gun with a high ammo capacity for the shot I intend to use. I also solo a lot so I don't always have huge openings for siege mode. There's exceptions like catching a tired monster in a pitfall trap, but over the course of the fight the damage boost from removing the limiter is probably much more useful.
However if you were to fight Dahren Mohran where you can safely siege mode all goddamn day, I guess you'd want to make something like the Diablos gun that's designed for it.
Removing the limiter also improves your shield but it's rare I even put that on. Never, actually. I'm thinking it'd be nice for Rathalos now that he likes to spam that stupid poison dive thing.
Also, HBG Wyvern fire kinda sucks. It's fun though.
Gaijin Hunter said this about it on reddit:

I'm a beginner to the series, but I'll just add that I personally prefer power shot bows and I get why it is a beast for single player.
Sounds tedious. I learned to embrace the auto sort long ago and have next to no trouble finding gear when I need to which, thanks to set registration, is pretty rare.

Question for Bowgun users:
In general, when someone mounts a monster in Multiplayer, they request that you don't attack the monster. Now, if you're ranged, does that matter? What I mean is, I can shoot at the monster's foot/wings/head/tail, and that won't mess up the mounter, correct?

Thanks for this. Just bought the same kind you have.
Thank you. I'll give it a shot in solo and multi. Also, is there a downside to the Power Barrel? I put one on my Biting Blast HBG, but there weren't any other changes besides the attack increase.

I just plain wouldn't attack the monster. I've been knocked off by a glaive user's insect before, and I'd imagine that's also ranged.
The only downside is that Power Barrel, Silencer and Shield are all mutually-exclusive.
But since the Silencer and Shield are of limited use at best, I always install a Power Barrel.

Anything that staggers the monster will fling the mounter off; this includes bowgun shots and arrows.

Ohhhh that's how it works. I thought what messed up the mounter was getting hit by weapons.
Gotcha.

I was in a group where someone kept firing at a mounted monster, then the mounts failed twice >=|
Should know better by now, especially in late High Rank
That fight was ridiculous. He barely even got to attack, let alone frenzy.
I've seen others talk about connection issues too. I've DC'd or had the hall leader DC, but it hasn't been that often. I definitely have a strict NAT (which I can do nothing about, yay ISPs), and MH3U never worked for me when I tried to join anyone else's tavern. It was constant error codes with that game unless I hosted, and then I'm sure most people wouldn't have been able to connect to me, probably unless they had an open NAT. I don't know what they changed, but 4U has been pretty damn good for me, especially compared to 3U. It's almost like we're playing on servers instead of relying on peer-to-peer.I soloed my way to the Guild Mohran, I don't know why I thought I couldn't solo it too.
A bit concerned about my connection though; dropping too often.

How do you do guild quests while in Harth?
When do you recommend starting online play? I'm HR1 and at the 3 star village quests. Actually, i'm not even sure how to play online... Anyway, my friend code is 3136-6739-2160 if anyone wants to join.

You can go wherever you want pretty much at any point in the game. Just bring up your map and pick to go to the guild hall.
After picking the guild hall icon, there'll be an option to "Change your online status".
Set it to online, and you should be able to figure the rest out from there
.Press start, move to the next page and go over to Guild Quests. You pick which monster and what level to add to your Guild Quests. As you fight and complete that quest, the quest monster levels up.
To play online, go to World map and tap on Gathering Hall. You'll see Online Status. It's all straightforward from there. You can make a gathering hall which has an ID you give to people and you can give it a passcode.

Is the 3DS really that limited or is MH4U just taking up too much of the system's processing power or something to be able to handle it? I've mentioned this earlier in the thread, but Heroes of Ruin does voice chat in lobbies, during the loading screen and while out on missions and it works great. I'm trying to understand why more games, but especially this one, don't take advantage of the built-in mic. The tech is there, but no one's supporting it.
For those looking for rare drops from monsters, its best to go here - http://kiranico.com/en/mh4u/
and checking out the loot drop charts, what I do is go to the quest that will give me the most amount of rolls for the item. So one that will give me a chance at it from completing the quest, from breaking a part, from a shiny and from a carve. That's 4 chances. Pick up those shinies, many of my drops came from those and their 1%, never gone over 10 hunts for a rare item drop.

Did the lobby die?
Considering that 4 Ultimate has to remove much of the OS from memory and do a full reboot in order to get back to the main menu on regular 3DSes, I don't think there's any power to spare for voice chat.
After the S.Zinogre quest in 9*. That's I think 4 keys into 9*.

Dang and blast. Sorry panic and kama. Getting food. Will be on later, internet permitting.
You need to finish the story (urgent to get into 10*) to get all of the wystones.
How do monsters behave in online battles with multiple players? Finally near a point where I want to play with others. I'll probably goof around with randoms in HR3 to HR4 and then stick to hunting with GAF members.
I'm hearing people running out of potions and stuff, hard to believe actually, playing by myself that usually never happened unless I was spammed multiple times, which didn't happen often or I was just not properly equipped to face the monster, which rarely happened. I know some monsters have some really devastating moves but typically there should be enough people in online hunts where the weaker players can get away with being a little more cautious. If they come in with 10 potions, 10 mega potions and an ancient just in case they get carted from a spam that catches them off gaurd, they should be fine with 3 other hunters.

People running out of potions doesn't happen until G rank and higher where a single attack can take off over half of your health.

You'll find that most of the time, you'll get hit by attacks not aimed at you when you're online. It's easy to control monster AI solo, but sometimes it's hard to tell what player is being targeted online, so you'll dodge in a direction you think is safe, but the monster tries to attack a player in the direction you rolled.
Looks like I'm gonna have to stock up on res gems then.
I got one (level 6), but need to recheck to send it since I barely used it in vanilla 4 and 4G.
Edit: Made a room.
