That was quick! Got 2 wings in like 10 minutes. Thanks gaffers.
So when it says 'overcharge' that's a good thing? I'd heard it was bad?

Overcharge is bad. It means all your sword attacks bounce. What Ken is saying is he'll load all the phials, then get red gauge again, so that when he charges his shield, he can instantly reload all the phials again without attacking more in sword mode.
Some of the later stuff is cool too, rathian vs seregios, then azure rathalos vs seregios. Some real territorial scraps!

The new title is great. I rarely find the time post because I'm busy enough trying to read everything here (or most of it) and continue playing the game. Ugh...
Played 105 hours so far, got the urgent quest that's leading to HR 5 yesterday and I'm still working on 6 star caravan quests. I've been wasting way too much time with expeditions and gathering junk before. I wonder if I'll ever see and be able to defeat monsters like Fatalis. Reading that some of you carted for the first time while they were battling monsters I don't even know while I've been knocked out multiple times during some low rank quests makes me want to cry and leave, haha.

You are not the only one my friend.
I'm only on about 40 hours, up to 6* caravan and HR4 online through being carried a lot.
You have to use a VPN to access the JP server for the dlc. I don't know more details than that.
Not always the best idea. If he starts the laser beam move, I assume he's targeting me and roll to the side to avoid it, only to find out he's targeting someone else and I roll straight into the beam. That's one dead me.

Need help regarding the Gore Magala story quest.
I'm relatively new to the series and have been progressing quite smoothly so far. Some battles were tense, but i managed to beat all of them on my first try.
Now I have to fight Gore Magala (the real thing, not the repel intros) and this mofo is able to kill me in 3 hits. I thought about upgrading my armor but there is no proper way of finding armor spheres + so i'm stuck with my current equipment.
My weapon is an unbranded aikuchi long sword which seems good enough to me but idk.

Try to stay under him or keep to his sides and attack when he's doing something lengthy like firing orbs.
What armor do you use? Tetsucabra or Velociprey is more than enough to handle Gore. Also Gore indedd hits pretty hard especially its breathing attacks. Try to stay on its taiL. Bringing traps also help a lot. You only need thunderbugs and trap tool and since it have 90% combo rate, it is pretty easy to make.
Just keep fighting it and learn it's attacks. Even if that's a generic response for any monster, it works, believe me. Gore Magala has surprisingly big tells and long windup animations.

Hey! This is also my first MH game and I wanted to give some tips.
Regarding the armor, sure better armor always helps but you have to think of MH more as an action game than an RPG, fights are not as much about "you must be this level to win" but rather "you must get this good to win". You have think about the monsters as if they were bosses and learn the tells, the attacks, the windups... like a boss fight!
Now, specifically for the Gore, I have three pieces of advice:
a) Bring Nulberries. The Gore inflicts the Frenzy status and if the Frenzy bar fills up his attacks will do extra damage. You can beat the Frenzy by doing damage or by eating Nulberries.
b) Bring traps. You can carry two traps and the materials to make two more. Whenever Gore goes into asshole mode (eh, enrage in game terms) trap the fuck out of him.
c) Stay behind him. Like 90% of his attacks are forward or side facing, by staying behind him you will be safer.
Hey, I just started with this. I've been crafting some new armor, but for some reason when I equipped the most recent piece the other two pieces from that set unequipped, and now I can't equip them from the manage equipment screen (they're greyed out). What did I do? Bone Armor set btw, only have that and the Derring set in my box.
e: Oh it was because I had a bow equipped to poison some altaroth, go me.

Sorry bout that, a couple of randoms joined and they carted twice :/
So, I need to do a lot of Advanced quests in order to unlock more mats from the Wyverian Trader. Anyone interested? It's mostly G-Rank quests, though I do need to clear some rank 7 quests (Dah'ren Mohran, Akantor... and 2 Deviljho. In an arena. Naked. I have no idea how we are going to clear that one, if we ever try it, so I think it is best to forget about that one for now).

I love when your farming a monster and every run is going quick until you get one where there's a triple cart in less than 5 minutes xD
It's not that difficult if you get a honed weapon, have defense charms and talons, and eat for defense. Without any armor I was able to get around 106 defense.

Last night I did some runs on that HR7 quest with a Golden Rathian and Silver Rathalos at the same time on Tower. I have no idea how you're supposed to beat that quest because it inevitably turns into a grand clusterfuck.
Still wish I had someone to clear some of the Guild Hall Canteen quests to max all my ingredients.

Thanks to some GAF help yesterday my normal shot suit is complete, and I don't think it came out looking too bad:
The Brachy gunner parts actually look less goofy than they used to. It winds up with:

Got room for one more. We also just beat Gravios frenzied so no reason to be scared!
Yeah, you really can't autopilot in this game, since the random attack and aggression patterns can screw you over way too quickly when you're getting overconfident, especially in G-Rank.
Which is why the game remains fresh. No hunt feels the same, most monsters stay threatening even for a decent group of hunters and there are some pretty serious challenges to be had.
Of course I'm average at best at the game, so really advanced players might have a different perspective on that matter, but from what I gathered even those seem to be pretty satisfied with the balance overall.

lol yeah it was weird when it happened. We all just lol'd and did it again.
Thank you Len and Tatters for the hunts!
On a side note: Maiky didn't troll, he genuinely never used the Dragonator before... And thought that you needed to "enter" the Dragonator beforehand to activate it (I was with him on Teamspeak)... Yeah, sloppy excuse indeed >.> I gave him a lecture afterwards.

I'm so rubbish at this game, stuck on Gore Magala, the first time round.

With how he ran up and hit it with you already in position it looked that way but I guess if you've never done it before than his answer would make sense. Ah well, it died and I got a gem so it's all good.
Sure. I'm down.
Alright, it's going to be a bit. I was at 58 beasts before I started this ash ketchup hunt-a-thon. They're going down fast, probably an 1 hour from now or so.
Coming from 3U experience with the same quest:
Smoke bomb when you enter so you can focus on one monster (hopefully) for a minute. Lots of flash bombs. Earplugs will help a lot, so you're not roared at, then run into by the other monster. Traps work on the Tower now, so that should help a ton. I'd probably run by Wide Range +2 support set with SnS, so I could heal people up and be able to throw flash bombs very quickly.

Really enjoyed (and still continuing) the single-player/caravan side of this thing. Now in the midst of 10* and just started HR7 guild. Glad I brought material for a couple extra farcasters to the HR7 qualifier, got him on the first try but it was messy lol.
Been using the Garuga S with Crit 3/Razor/HG Ear, and for the hell of it Wide-Range +2 (due to Hearing 5/WR 10 Talisman) which actually works nicely to keep Palicos up and fighting. Using the Auberon GS for that set.
Most useful up to this point and perhaps for a little while longer has actually been Gravios U with Def XL/Guard Boost/Palico Rally and with an Emperor Frostsword in tow.

With naked Jho down now I got Ceadeus parts to work with. What's the quest that unlocks the G rank mats? And the same thing with Yama Tsukami. Since I need to upgrade the DB I made.
Into The Heavens G3 quest. You hunt Chaotic Gore Magala and a Stygian Zinogre.
