I think it is not just the fact that many people in the community rushing to G Rank, but also limited UI aspect of the online lobby in MH4U. In MH3U people can easily name their room to their intention. People who want to raise HR can easily avoid Lucent Nargacuga room by looking at the room name alone. This is not the case with MH4U that very limited in its UI. Also I think people have not realized that they can check the room detail before joining by looking at the lower screen, and pressing Y to see what kind of hunters inside. I get this feeling after seeing on more than one occasion where people beg for doing their 6 rank urgent quest in a room that set Dalamadur as it target. It's not your fault for mis-entering the room, but I can understand why they pissed seeding low HR entering their room . As once in my experience, a HR3 hunter entered our Dalamadur farm room. He doesn't do anything, nor any of us or the host to him but it kimda irk me since that mean he blocked a slot for people who actually want to farm Dalamadur.

yes, i do find the online interface in 4U to be restrictive. To be honest, I don't know how to exit a room, I just switch to offline. I do know that Y gives you more info. I'm surprised I still find Tri's online to be better.

Also the room I joined, well, I was better equiped than them lol! Maybe they though I was G-rank and I want to 'lead' them?

But yeah, I'll sit this one out and just solo GH until I reach G-rank (like what I did in 3U). Then I'll join the fun.

 

[Kyzon]

Well since I"m finally G rank, can someone help me with these G1 Keys?
Or, if you have a quest with G Rathalos, I'd love to get to breaking those Talonwings of his.

[Shengar]

Nibelsnarf X gunner set skills looks prety cool. I might farmed it to become my first serious HBG set.

This is other problem I found during online: people rarely paid attention to the armor low HR people, instantly assuming that they wearing LR gear, not taking the possibility that they might be deal with Caravan quests first lol

 

[rpmurphy]

OK, I've been playing this past week just trying to understand what I need to do. (MH newbie here). I've upgraded my equipment a couple of times, forged new weapons and equipment and all that. I've been doing the quests that pop up and unlocked Expeditions. Did one, killed a Velocidrome(s?) and... what do I do next? I apparently unlocked guild quests?

I'm not entirely sure what I should be doing. The next expedition? The gathering hall quests? Should I be doing those online? Focus on upgrading equipment?I haven't even tried playing online x_x

I think I have a grasp on the MH basics (saw a bunch of vids so I know what to do when weapon loses sharpness, to use paintballs and stuff...) but I'm kinda confused as to how to progress. Still HR1, of course. Read some pages of this thread and the OP but I'm still lost, lol.

Gathering Hall quests are its own thing and you can really do them any time now, but doing the caravan quests is a good way to learn the general flow (and monsters are easier).

You want to upgrade the Wyporium and kitchen, and a lot of those are from caravan quests.

Expeditions add more to the game, but it's not that important at the beginning. Just do first two they throw at you and focus on other things.

My guild quest Deviljho is finally level 136. Now the quest changed and he's apex. Damn, it's not only superhard... Asking randoms if they have wystones is such a chore.

You donèt need to ask. Tap their name on the touchscreen to check.

 

[Pineconn]

Went online for the first time (since Tri/3U, anyway). Found a 1 star room, quest was to cap a Gypceros. Thought, okay, shouldn't be too hard.

Two minutes into the hunt my pitfall trap was stolen. What the hell? Hunted a few Gypceroses offline and this never happened, and of all items to steal, the only goddamn trap that works against him. Thank god the other guy had a pitfall trap or else we'd have been screwed. Couldn't tell him my woes because of no in-game chat (wtf Capcom).

 

[HawthorneKitty]

I think the hunter rank is very funny; I was dabbling in some low rank quests and I was duoing something with another guy; 2 people joined into the lobby shortly after the start and they stayed the entire time of our hunt (like 10 odd min or so), probably because of my rank, they thought they could get an easy hunt.

 

[Kensuke]

Ah, good tip!

 

[Shengar]

I really hated it that Shagaru Magala's tail perfectly blend with the sacred ground terrain. Kiss a good bye to your tail and potential rare carve if you happened to forget or saved it later. You must risk your live carving it and I can imagine the pain when fighting against G rank Shagaru.

 

[Spaaaaaaaaace]

anyone want help me out with HR6 urgent? Shagaru Magala

Edit. Internet disconnected. If anyone wants to help I can make a room.

 

[jorgejjvr]

Alright guys, Gore Magala, G2 urgent, any help will be appreciated!!

I try to help as many people as possible so that they are not selfish later.
Helped 3 guys finish Dalamadur because i was in the session and they needed it and asked.
Otherwise most people will just use you or just leave whenever they get what they wanted.
It is understandable though.

 

[nicoga3000]

It actually was originally created to be an action game according to the designers. I'm assuming that originally a lot of the things that are called problems by first time critiques were actually truly gameplay problems, but over time they evolved with the series and with fan philosophies, justified to be left untweeked. The popularity in Japan probably made it so these things would not be a major concern to reevaluate.

Really? I'd love to read about the history of this series. I've played on and off since the first PSP release, so I'm curious how they have approached changes and updates.

 

[ohlawd]

people are ridiculous with their expectations

four of us do a quest and finish at a reasonable time and there's always that one guy who leaves. I understand they might have something going on in real life or they're done farming but it happens too often for me to write it off as such. I bet they're thinking they could do better with a different lobby. what a load of shit

 

[jorgejjvr]

Finally in G3!!!

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

Is there any skill that fight against this? I get tired of it. Got thrown by Rajang in an online battle and his target lock didn't reset, just lept over and finished me off.

Felyne Riser (food skill) might help with that.

You can also lay on the ground for a while to avoid attacks. I usually do that if a monster is immediately attacking again after knocking me down.

 

[jorgejjvr]

How do you get strong armor sphere?

 

[Spaaaaaaaaace]

HR6 Urgent. Could really use the help.

Room 33-1400-4039-3146

[ohlawd]

and start using your Y button on menus. it opens up another page of descriptions like for skills and shit

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Beat my first Urgent Quest, that freaky masked monkey dude.

Was pretty hard. Even though it's my strongest weapon ATM, the hammer wasn't a good choice. Only carted once though.

 

[PrankT]

HR7 quests: 41-0728-4499-3310. No pass.

 

[PKrockin]

Good games, NetMapel. I got a hell of a lot of heavy bowgun practice, I feel pretty good with it now.

 

[PrankT]

Hopefully others join to relieve the aggro.

 

[Not Spaceghost]

I was helping some people do their HR4 urgent when this guy walked in.

He carted twice in 3 minutes and nearly ruined the run until the 3 of us killed it. I tried to explain to him how armor skills worked but as I was typing it out the room crashed.

It's like this game doesn't want me to teach people things.

EDIT: I just looked at the image again and realized HE WAS FULLY GEMMED OH MY GOD WHYYYY

 

[NewGame]

pls help me get to the end of g rank everyone keeps carting to unkal and teostra

Made a quick damage calculator deal.
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1UkMXFte7PXdNh847rrILQCBC0rNJQQBkVW1TXBghyJo/

Basically input/change the values in the orange areas and it'll spit out the min-max values. Those values are based on your weakest and strongest individual attacks, not counting combos. Pull the effectiveness values from kiranico.

I've actually seen a LOT of people like this, odd mismatching of armour and fully gemmed but with no skills activated through it. So crazy.

 

[Hi i'm Caleb]

Hopefully others join to relieve the aggro.

A new hunter enters the Arena! I'll be chillin in the gather hall. "Revy"

 

[Not Spaceghost]

I've actually seen a LOT of people like this, odd mismatching of armour and fully gemmed but with no skills activated through it. So crazy.

I'm convinced they think it's just that +3 attack gives them some minor boost to attack.

 

[Kensuke]

They probably don't know skills only activate once it reaches 10 points. They're thinking the skills get stronger with every point in it or something.

Monster Hunter needs to do a better job of explaining this stuff. I've seen people all the way up to G3 with no activated skills.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

[Jeff Vader]

So the caravan has no high rank harvest tours? >:

 

[robox]

I'd hunt the velicodrome but I haven't been arsed to search through he expeditions

 

[HawthorneKitty]

So the caravan has no high rank harvest tours? >:

[Jeff Vader]

rank 7 and 8 have harvest in them...

I don't see them on my game. Do I have to speak to somebody to get access?

 

[Seil]

So the caravan has no high rank harvest tours? >:

Complete quests from the hunter in southern Dundorma to unlock harvest quests. The first is a blue yian kut-ku, I believe.

There are four tours in 7* and four in 8*

Go Jaggi or Tetsu or Gore (heh).

Try doing whatever quest the Pro Hunter woman gave you at Dundorma, I want to say she unlocks them after that.

LOL. Bit glad to have a friend helping me out often about many things in this game including how the armor skills points work and all heh. Don't think I am in the mood to mix match armors for now anyway.

 

[rpmurphy]

Lol I've seen those mixed armor sets fully gemmed with no active skills as well. It is a marvel to see. I hope they figure it out at least by the time they get to G rank.

 

[Jeff Vader]

:0 Must huunt.

What's on the menu tonight?
