Is this game going to be impossible to find in NA soon? I went to all my local game sellers and none of them had it. Target told me they only got TWO copies lol. I ordered it online, to avoid the Xenoblade struggle.

Also 17 more monsters than unite? wtf!

In Sydney, the game seems to be sold out in a lot of places. I work in the city, and I've checked two EB Games and one JB Hi-Fi and they're all sold out.

Not sure how many copies they all ordered, but about a week before it came out, I asked the storekeeper at one of the EBs whether I needed to preorder to secure a copy and he told me that he had 21 copies left that weren't already preordered.

 

[Wired All Wrong]

Guess people are still digging into single player. I've been loving this game. It's great to have a new Monster Hunter to play.

Okay now do farming.

 

[ilium]

I really like najarala's armor design!

 

[denshuu]

Okay now do farming.

You mean farming monster materials or the wycoon duplicator?

 

[mStudios]

Maaaaaan, I loved that fight

 

[ColossalLazy]

Maaaaaan, I loved that fight

So used to Gore that even the High Rank version isnt problematic.

 

[Mr Fahrenheit]

Tigrex is a real asshole when you're alone.

 

[SparrowAdvice]

For the shortcut panels on the lower screen, is there a way to change which items they're shortcuts to? They always seem to be First-Aid, Ration, Mini Whetstone and Paintball.

 

[jorgejjvr]

Anyone wants to hunt Gore? Need his horns

 

[names2hard4you]

You guys are too fast lol. Here I am still, on the second village only, grinding Tetsu's armor. It's hard to play with so much to do for school :/ Haven't even gone online yet.

 

[Renewed]

I thought of grinding Gore to get its armour (already have his GS and quite a few materials) but I'm sticking with my Nerscylla set. I enjoy my GS very much (with the prospect of getting sleep on it for my next upgrade!).

 

[Ally of Justice]

Tigrex is a real asshole when you're alone.

More like "Tigrex is a real asshole when you're alive";

 

[rpmurphy]

Jumping in for a few quest. I hope my internet connection can keep it up.

Good hunting! Sucked for the missed carves on thay last Mohran. lol

Time to run harvest quests.

 

[Ally of Justice]

Yeah, there's an option for that in the options... option. It's above the cat that appears when you arrange the panels.

 

[robotzombie]

So, any suggestions on what charge blades to aim for?

I really just started, but I want to get an idea what to shoot for so as to not be inefficient with materials

 

[Teasing_Pink]

For the shortcut panels on the lower screen, is there a way to change which items they're shortcuts to? They always seem to be First-Aid, Ration, Mini Whetstone and Paintball.

Yep. Open up the menu so you can customize your panels, and on the screen with the list of panels, there is a selection labeled options. It lets you edit a handful of the panels, including the item shortcuts.

Thanks for these man. I haven't played MH since Freedom Unite on the PSP and even the old weapons feel new thanks to all the improvements. I also had no idea the charge blade was as powerful as that.

 

[The Technomancer]

After fighting all of these new monsters killing my first Rathian in 20 minutes felt like coming home

 

[ColossalLazy]

Holy shit Frenzied Tigrex doesnt stop moving. So hard to land an attack.

 

[robotzombie]

do those super mushrooms you get from the starter pack have any value other than making the mario or luigi costume?

 

[jorgejjvr]

So I've solo'd the Shagaru Magala around three times now. Would you guys say that's an appropriate time to jump into online?

[Rnr1224]

Not very far in the game but I am loving the variety of monsters this time around. Also liking the Insect Glaives coming from my Dual Blades main in 3U. Love the way the attacks look and like the extra buffs that the insect gives you. What are some good armor sets and Insect Glaives that I should be getting early on?

 

[Kinsei]

So the Shaggy quest appears randomly, huh? That's annoying.

 

[Shengar]

Good hunting! Sucked for the missed carves on thay last Mohran. lol

Time to run harvest quests.

It reminds me of what happened to me in Dire Miralis fight
Don't kill these big monsters too quick or in the corner lol

 

[jorgejjvr]

I'm sure you can go into High rank in the campaign, but I feel like playing online with GAFers, is now a good time?

Wow, thank you for this! These canteen quest no longer have [Canteen] tag so it kinda make me confused why there isn't any canteen quest yet lol

 

[Cerity]

Only thing you really need to do before jumping online is getting a feel and understanding your weapons attacks IMO.

Nothing worse than playing with people who send everyone else flying.

Basarios is kindof a pushover, isn't he? He looks very rocky and tough, but dies in about 5 minutes. It was a "wait, that's it?" moment when he went down so quickly.

Anyone have any idea what would be the best armor set to put monsters to sleep? Or paralyze I guess. I really want to use that flower lance that has the sleep effect.

Where do you get bumblepumpkins?

Where do you get bumblepumpkins?

Keep multiplying your honey with the Wycoon and you;ll get some eventually.

 

[Rabbit Clock]

Everyone online keeps dying.. So frustrating.

 

[jorgejjvr]

Where do you get bumblepumpkins?

They're usually obtained when multiplying items at the Wycoon. They're a side-product.

Everyone online keeps dying.. So frustrating.

What HR are you?

 

[ChrisD]

Everyone online keeps dying.. So frustrating.

Haven't noticed much death online. Typically one every other quest or so, and in what seems to be a rotation. Never just one guy.

Guess I'm lucky.

This fucker has been the most trouble for me. I'm charge blade, but she's so damn fast. Webbed, sleeped, poisoned, and knocked around. All while she zips around. I'm surprised my L button isn't broke by now.

It's even worse because I want the armor.

What HR are you?

2 going on 3. Everyone keeps wiping on the Gore something or other.

Usually one guy dying twice for me and then one more when we've almost killed it.
