Hello! I'm thinking about picking this game up. I only tried Freedom Unite for an hour or two on my Vita, but I wasn't too impressed - I feel this is because I couldn't get the whole scope of the game just playing solo. I looked a few pages back, and I haven't seen this asked: I've seen that you can use a Wii U to allow the 3DS version to go online, but can two different people play at the same time? As in, could the 3DS user tether their game to go online while their friend is playing with them on the Wii U? And they can both go online together? Sorry, I haven't seen any specifics on this.

So, I've been trying to use the gunlance but couldn't figure it out, and learned about the whole cursed table thing so I started a new game. I still can't figure out how to get it so that I can reload. I'm probably just being an idiot, but I can't seem to find anything online. Can somebody help me out a bit? I'm playing on the 3ds, by the way.

Just had a strange moment of clarity regarding Deviljho. I'm slowly working towards Ivory Laggy, so Black Diablos, Steel Uragaan, and somethin' else opened up. While I was fighting Diablos, it hit me - Deviljho's just a slower Diablos with a breath weapon. Even does a shorter version of Jho's headbutt. If I can outmaneuver her enraged quad charges, I can get outta the way of anything Jho can throw at me, surely! Guess I'll find out soon enough.

I like Jho more because he doesn't get into patterns where he just spins in a circle swinging his tail around indefinitely. I hate that part of fighting Diablos.

If anyone ever needs any help with HR/G rank quests, feel free to ask me on the IRC. I'm usually willing to help/carry anyone through lower ranked quests.

Ignimbrite posted:Slime is applied similar to how statuses are applied. Every few hits the slime effect will trigger and a green, yellow or red (depends on how much slime has been applied to the monster cumulatively since the last explosion) splooge of slime will pop up. After a certain amount of slime has been applied to a monster, all the parts which have been slimed (you can slime each seperate hitbox of a monster - eg for brachydios, his head, body, arms, each leg and tail) will explode, dealing a set amount of damage to the parts previously slimed. The rate at which monsters get slimed is only affected by the monsters' resistance to slime, and the amount of damage is only affected by the Bombardier skill. The thing about slime weapons is that monsters start to become more resistant to it the more you slime them, so you'll need to hit them a lot more each time you trigger an explosion. That's why I suppose that eventually a higher-damage weapon will be better than a slime weapon, since it'll do constantly high damage consistently over a slime weapon's mediocre damage with the occasional fantastic explosion. Of course, Felyne Pyro and more than one person using slime invalidates what I just typed.

Fauxtool posted:I one-shotted my first purple ludroth in sp. High grade earplugs can definitely be helpful for Diablos as she screams so much, as are sonic bombs when she dives - you can get a lot of free hits in (when not enraged). Get used to seeing how her tail moves - there's a definite pattern to the "double-swipe" action it does - when you see the first part, sneak in on the opposite side of where the tail will go next and stay under the legs. Letting her charge a bit till you see a good solid opening is key - a bad set up and you'll just get charged to death. I will say that the bow is a great way to break her horns for parts though, just stay close-ish and when you see the 2 turns she'll take to line you up for a charge, let the arrows loose just as that last turn comes to you and then get the gently caress out of the way!

At least in high rank, the brachy weapons are on par with or better than their elemental equivalent in raw. Even so, I'll probably be maining a narga switchaxe with as much critical eye as I can muster.

This was a thing of beauty just now: Marquis's Blazon - Gunlance Full Rathalos suit, Artillery +6 charm. Armor gemmed up to Artillery +16. Active skills are Attack Up M, Speed sharpen, Artillery expert, and recovery down. And I picked up Felyne Bombardier from the kitchen skills. Took out a Jhen in about 15-20 minutes, forgot to take down my clear time. I broke one of his tusks, blew up both holes in his fin, and broke the skin on his left arm before reaching final showdown. Also used the two temp large barrel bombs from the item chest. Artillery expert on a gunlance is just beautiful for boosting Gunlance's wyvernfire and letting you use it more often. This is my new Jhen farming set.  At least until I decide on making a Dios suit for bomb boost.

Oh, I know it is. All it takes is 10. But there's not enough in this armor set for it. If I do Dios armor and my Artillery charm I'll have Artillery Expert and Bomb Boost.

Oh god, why was Junior posing rear end-first next to one of the village boys?!  And why does the text during the Ivory Lagiacrus credits wobble so much? It's only the right side, too. So I guess that was almost all of Moga. Deviljho's still to be had - I think I might need one or two more 'kill two big monsters at once' quests before that opens. And then there's getting to Alatreon. That ain't gonna happen. Three monsters, at least two at one, possibly all three if you're slow, all at G-Rank power? No thanks. I'll hold off. I am not quite two-fifths done with this game at somewhere over 60 hours played. And I have barely made any weapons or armor. Man... E: Also? Ivory Laggy? Incredibly easy. Deviljho shoulda been the 'final boss' of offline.

Sometimes I use R with a level 1 charge if there's a lot of distance to close. If you're already in front of the head when the monster flops over then you can just A->XXX. If you have to run all the way around a monster to get to the head then you might only have time for a super pound.

Does the lvl 3 super pound ignore minor hits? During the animation it looks like I ignore glancing hits from their feet and small mobs Is there ever a good time to use the spin move besides making people mad in multiplayer? What is a good set of hammer armor for someone just starting HR? Bone or rhenopolos seem ok for the "KO king" but low armor. Does it even matter at this point of the game? I have been steamrolling most of the things I meet with rathalos armor and lance anyways Fauxtool fucked around with this message at 13:01 on Apr 3, 2013 |

Its good for procing status/element damage. Pressing X during a swing makes you do an alternate golf swing. If you're using a pure damage hammer there's not much reason to go for it though.

Okay, I decided to get this yesterday. I'm feeling it way more than my first experience with tri. The combat feels a lot better now that I can control the camera normally and have access to a comfortable controller (seriously, the wii u has its issues but they did a killer job on making the gamepad). I'm only like an hour in though. Is there anything I should know before getting too deep? I don't want to start enjoying it and end up screwing myself over somehow.

organburner posted:So I guess I have wasted 8 hours on my character because he has either the 15, 16 or 17 charm table? It depends on how much you care about rust weapons and charms in general. I am not a min/max kind of guy but I plan to invest a lot of hours into this game so I would be willing to start over even if it meant losing 8 hours. If you feel similar then follow the guide in the OP and try to avoid a cursed table. Don't let it eat at you too much. You will make up that lost time quickly especially since you will probably accomplish the same amount of progress in even less time now that you are seasoned with the game.

Yeah, it may seem like you lost 8 hours, but you'll find it only takes something like 4 to get back to where you were on subsequent playthroughs. All the skills you learned fighting the monsters will carry over, and you won't spend wasted time on obtaining weapons and armor you found out you didn't like the first time through.

When you are stunned or mud/ice covered does it matter what buttons you tap or does it only want the attacks, X and A? Also for Nibelsnarfs, when I put a shock trap down it rammed through it and broke it. Is that bad luck or does it need to be disabled and a trap deployed on top of it? What does Fresh mean to meal ingredients? What are the "EZ" versions of items? The supply crate gave me a Barrel Bomb L and an EZ Barrel Bomb L.

EZ Items are Supply Items, they are exactly the same as their normal counterpart, but they disappear after the quest is over. Except I think EZ Barrel Bombs are autopriming, like a Barrel Bomb S.

I think that's just a way of showing that they're temp items. Anti dragon bombs in the Jhen mission self-detonate, but I'm not really sure that the EZ barrel bombs do.

When is the best time to use the great sword's charged attack? I found that, unless the monster falls over or is otherwise stationary for a long time, it usually moves away before I can even complete a level 1 swing. It's even worse when the monster is enraged. Right now I'm mostly using the X,A,repeat combo, which works but doesn't deal as much damage, though I still get knocked over sometimes when the monster moves too quickly.

scissorman posted:When is the best time to use the great sword's charged attack? It's all about predicting it. Watch monster moves and practice with the timing. Learn where you can stand to avoid a move while you let the swing charge, and with the right timing the sword will land right where you want it to. edit: It's been linked a ton of times, but it's like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oa2wMvBvpBc Speedboat Jones fucked around with this message at 18:00 on Apr 3, 2013 |

It's a predicatable right angel turn for almost all of them, and puts you in perfect position to hit it on the end if the timing is right.

What makes this even better is the skill PunishDraw, which adds impact damage and KO to unsheathe attacks. I had an armor set with that and CritDraw in MH3rd, and suddenly my great swords all became hammerswords and I was cutting tails and getting KOs. Just remember to sheathe your greatsword or you won't find any openings. If you waddle towards the enemy, you won't really accomplish anything. Run up behind them, unsheathe charge, hit them in the face/leg, roll away, resheathe. Combos are mostly for when they fall over.
