This is why I say these dudes are crazy, they follow the timing of the attacks instead of any tells like normal people do.

Doesn't look like he's going off tells, but getting behind the monster and charging up in preparation for the monster inevitably turning around to face him.
I perfected this technique in MHFU against Tigrex. Fought the damn thing enough times that it became second nature to get the level 3 off after he charged and turned to face me. The moment I let go of level 3 charge, WHACK right in the face. Very satisfying.
Jup, comes with experience.
Guys like Zinogre are a piece of cake if you already fought him dozens of times in older games. You just know what he'll do next.

Glaive makes it easy.
Here's another classic Fighting Nargacuga naked with a Greatsword
Haha nice one, bet there are some with Hammer too.
There's a classic hammer bros one with 4 guys with hammers online destroying monsters and it's hilarious because they kept smashing each other with no fucks given. Unfortunately I found it once, laughed, then could never find it again

Anyone got a link to the big chart of monster resistances/weak spots?
Yeah, that MH3U one was incredibly convenient. A quick GameFAQs board search yielded this, but it only lists elemental weaknesses, not status, breaks, etc.

Edit: well there it is. Thanks.
Finally got 2 plates. Desire sensor slain.
Um... about the translation:

Really? People praise this stuff. GENIOUS they said writing it in the back of their high school maths book "See it's funny because..."
And then the game gets MA15+ for sexual references.

I love monhun stories like this, they get me so hyped to keep playing.
Something pretty cool and similar just happened, I was grinding Velocidrome for his set (pretty decent for LR imo) and I must have levelled the quest up too much, because suddenly he's tough as shit. Really fast, wiping out half my health with his big jump attack, constantly repositioning himself out of my horn's hits. FUCKING INTENSE
I'm trying to play the song of my people and he's having fucking none of it.
Eventually his crest is smashed and I can see the end in sight.
I go for a jump attack and I manage to smack him right in the gob and KO him. He gets up, very pissed, and I go for it again so I can get a mount.
We collide IN MID-AIR, Dragonball z style, I fall on my ass with a smidge of green health but I get the quest clear jingle and Gesture> Prance all the way home.
Even without mounting, ledge attacks create some really fun moments.

bad gameplay lol
Wait, hold on, what's this about leveling quests up? Would you (or anyone else) mind explaining?
And hell, while I'm at it, is there any good resource that details all the new stuff in 4U? It feels like I'm discovering new stuff all the time that the game isn't explaining (hell, I wouldn't have known about the new "item sets" thing if I hadn't heard someone mention it on a podcast).
They did explain it briefly at the very beginning. It's just really easy to forget about it with all the other content and features. It'd be nice if an NPC reminded you of it 10 hours in if you never played one to that point or something.

The whole "waiting for the monster to turn" business is one of the reasons a lot of people run without companions, that way the monster's movement becomes more predictable.
Killed my second Gore today, was really only going Lance its tail off but things went pretty well so I decided to keep going, funnily I managed to break his feelers with the killing blow as well. He even dropped a plate, although I don't think I currently really have a use for it. Might make the Hammer, wouldn't want to waste the rare drop.

Hey guys I'm shit tier newbie in this. I'm fighting some giant bug thing after the great jaggi quest and it seems like I'm running out of time.
Is there any weapons that are better for newbs?

What are you using right now? Certain weapons have simpler movesets than others, but they all require a certain degree of mastery to be able to use proficiently.
In general, I think things like Sword and Shield and Lance are good for beginners, since they give you a block, decent mobility and damage. I've seen other people recommending Long Sword. What are you using now?
You can get them pretty easy in 10 where all the felyne's are located. There's a fishing hole on the left side from the entrance.
pretty sure it'll always be worth it on a greatsword, especially with focus. If I miss, I still get the equivalent of a L3 charge from the followup attack, or I just roll out of the way. I don't know if I'll bother on HBG though, needing to unsheathe my gun again and then go into siege mode takes too damn long.
Still, it's good for breaking back parts.

Take a look at this site, it even recommends combos.

So I was almost to the point of trading this game in over the weekend (this is my first Monster Hunter experience) but I decided to give it another shot yesterday.
I do not know when / how it happened but dat gameplay loop hit me, and all I can say now is this game is awesome!
I am really looking forward to multi-player once I get some more experience / gear, but damn GAF I see the obsession.

Yeah, thats why i think everyone needs to be open minded and give games a try and give them time. This is also my first real MH, luckily my brother is a veteran so he has been really helpful, but I also felt a bit burned out at first, didnt really feel it. But a couple of hours in, and it all clicked, might not be an expert yet but I get it and best of all its simply FUN and addicting!
Aye! my only problem with the game at the moment, and this is a minor complaint is that I hate that the missions are timed. I have just never been a fan of time limits in games.
I also am by no means an expert but, I upgraded my blades and crafted some armor last night and just became addicted there and there I think.

Question: Every time you accept a quest, you get a little paper sign on top of your head, and that sign show up as different colors... What do the colors mean? Is it relative difficulty to your equipment and stuff? Thanks!
Insect Glive's R+B has saved my ass so many times. Feel like I'm on easy mode with it though lol
It's the type of quest you're on. Red is kill, green is gathering, etc.
I mean considering that the missions are 50 mins long I dont mind, plus the time just makes it a little more exciting when you beat a monster in the nick of time, makes you do time management. That being said, sometimes I have a quest, and manage to roam the world and collect a bunch of stuff before fighting the monster, do the subquest, and sactually beat the monster and still have plenty of time left. So at the very least its reasonable, I forget its even there
On the contrary, managing the buffs, dodging with the glaive at the right time, hitting that sweet spot with R+B and mounting, hitting the monster with all you got with your buffs, controlling the insect and hitting the certain body parts, escaping close calls etc. It feels all very strategic to me and very rewarding, this is my first real MH game and this is the weapon that has stuck to me, I love it, I have fun when I use it, I also love that it feels fast and very unique compared to the other weapons. I tried every other weapon, but I cant, I keep coming back for the glive
Which I find interesting since I've heard people recommend other weapons to start with for beginners.Woo, Gore urgent done, that was tough to solo. Failed the quest the first time, sheer damage output and playing passively did me in. 2nd time around I was more aggressive in both getting and placing charges and it sure did work. Pretty much broke everything on it and managed to get a plate :3
HR3 come at me.
HR3 come at me.
I'm thinking of getting its full set, I havent had time to play much on HR5 but from the urgent I got enough to make the waist armor and it was over 50 def, best i've seen so far. Unless there's something better?
General question, its there specific armor that are just simply better for certain weapons or something? I just usually make a part once I can make something and just wear it for the better defense, dont think about it too much. I've heard full sets does some good things, but if certain ones compliment a certain weapon or set up better i'll like to know
Pretty much all the HR 5 armor is around 50+. I've done Pink Rath so many times I just decided to make the set though.
Oh okay sounds good, and whats the best way to get advance armor sphere to level it up?
Each piece of armour comes with some skill 'points', when you complete the set you'll usually get at least 10 points in those skills thus granting it. eg. with the Heart Rath set, you'll get
Wind Res +15
Fire Atk +13
Potential +10
Sense -5
while it's not specific to a weapon, there are sets that'll benefit certain weapons. Say you get Sheathing and Fast Charge on a set, it'd be pretty good for a GS. Towards the end people tend to mix and match though.
Doing high level quests and mining while you're on quests is pretty much how I've amassed mine!
Any ideas of a good set for my insect glaive, its the gore magala one and has dragon skill
and how can you know in advance what each full set will give you? or just armor in general. I've been just equipping randomly until this point just looking at the number of defense
