How do you unlock minds eye oil?
>>345482916
Tell me /v/, how are the HeavtBowgun and SnS in this new game?
>>345484353
Anything good before Akantor?
>>345484542
SnS is apparently one of the best this time around. I think people roll striker with it? But what the fuck do I know.
>>345484737
I prefer guild even though I know striker is probably better. SnS is most certainly new and improved though, and I think of Ainsley every time I oil up.
This will probably be the first MH I don't do all of the village quests in. Way too many gathering/slay x little monster quests. But the game is very fun, I hope they flesh out styles more in MH5
>>345482916
Are cute sweethearts ok too?
>>345484957
Still better than Tri / 3U in terms of required gathering bullshit, that opening / tutorial segment is cancer.
Longsword good for a new player?
>>345484542
I'm a MH babby, I only played 4U and I never really touched ranged weapons beyond the bow a bit, so I'm not sure what all has changed, but the HBG in Generations is really fun, if you ask me.
>>345485701
No, it will keep tripping other hunters online. Steer clear.
>>345484897
>Ainsley
tippity top tier taste
>>345485701
I'd say Switch Axe, Dual Blade, or SnS would be good for beginners. Perhaps GreatSword, but it can be a tough weapon to learn when you are still figuring out spacing and monster movesets. Hammer is simple, but to use it effectively you really need to be hitting the monster's head, which means it can be a bit tough to get good with, until you are more comfortable actually hitting a specific part of a monster, rather than just hitting wherever you can
>>345485701
Literally any melee weapon is good for a new player. Insect Glaive has a few other backwards systems so probably stay clear of that so you can focus on the core mechanics / menu stuff, but at that point every weapon left is fairly easy to learn.

How is his gear /v/?
Is it any good?
>>345485701
Don't use it online until you memorize attack ranges; it will trip other players and lower the teams damage output. Good beginner weapons are Sword and Shield, Lance, maybe Greatsword, and the Switchaxe. The first 3 have guards while the last 3 have great ranges. The SnS can also let you use items while the weapon is unsheathed which may save you a few times.
When you do go online be courteous, don't attack the head if their is a hammer user, and please don't attack sleeping monsters

>>345486657
Never considered the switch axe, I figured it was similar to the greatsword

It's way different.

Completely new to the series, I got a little frustrated starting out because there's no tutorial and I just need to read help documents and the text in this game makes my eyes hurt.
Is there any way to optimize the camera controls? I went on the first mission, had to fight some veliciraptor thing, and the fight was nothing but a constant struggle to have him stay on the screen

The worst shit
>>345486873
Swaxe is a nice fun versatile hack slash weapon, there are very few ways to use it wrong, assuming you're using sword mode as much as possible. GS is very slow and doing actual damage really relies on landing the major strikes that can tough for a beginner to land.
>>345487308
You should have a panel on the bottom screen with the monster's icon, tap that icon and it makes it so whenever you press L the camera focuses on that monster
This is the easiest way to manage the camera for the most part, you'll probably want a n3DS or circle pad pro if you want more precise control than that without clawing the virtual d-pad
>>345487308
It depends on your nintendo. A N3DS has ZR and ZL buttons which you can set to horizontal camera movement and makes everything so much better by going to pause>options and pressing ZR/ZL control settings to type 2
you can also set it so that tapping the L button turns your camera to the monster, you can control the whole camera with a Dpad on the screen which can make control a lot easier
The first two ranks are always the worst, but it's necessary to build up your item supply and get you accustomed to the game. Don't give up
>>345482916
can't be bothered to find out how to screenshot.
Also, the niblesnarf is the most anti-fun monster, fuck him and his constant area switching
Why is everyone in kokoto such a dick?
>>345487638
Yukumo a best
>>345487308
If you have an OG 3ds, I can't recommend the circle pad pro enough, anon. If you're having trouble just keeping the monster on screen, imagine how annoying using an aiming reticule would be without a second analog stick... It changed my life. HBG for life now.

>help someone kill nakarkos

goddamnit not this shit again.
>>345488178
It has one move that is a big charged up explosion, but you're probably fine using that mostly when the monster is stunned or trapped or down anyway. Most of the time you're just hacking with the axe to build up power, then switching to the sword to do more damage until you run out of power. Mastering it means you are able to switch strategically between the weapon shapes mid-combo and manage your charge while also avoiding damage and utilizing your charge shot. It was the first weapon I mained in monster hunter, so much so I'm actually tired of it and may not touch it again this time around...

>>345489714
This. I wholeheartedly appreciate how much they improve and simplify gathering and simpler quests, but if I'm fighting monsters, I'm bringing fucking heavy weaponry.
What's the best skills and bias for prowler?
Also, how do I into lance? I've always wanted to learn how to use it.
>>345489928
>fighting bias with pierce boom
>must have big boom as sub skill
>boomerang pro is must,crit up L, crit up s and earplugs are top
teach him emergency escape from a support cat and last stand from anyone who has it
>>345489928
Skills and biases are gonna dictate what you are using the prowler for... so don't bring a gathering prowler with gathering skills on a monster hunt.
As for how to lance, just get comfortable with movement and blocking. Pretty much all you do is poke poke poke, with occasional shield bashes to the monster's face if you can. As I see it, Lance is about staying near the monster, keeping up a constant poking assault, you've got little dodge hops you can use to move around, and if things get dicey, a shield to protect you. Then if the monster hops away from you, you have a sprint move that you can use to chase and then either do a jumping attack, or a superstab attack. Lance is great, it just takes some getting used to because it's a bit hard to maneuver with compared to some of the other melee weapons. Just remember it works essentially in a one two three rhythm, so you can poke dodge dodge, poke dodge poke, that kinda thing.

At first when I saw him in trailers I thought he was just a shitty Popodrome, but now meeting him. Holy fuck he's awesome.
Glavenus gunner armor has Grinder. The description says it makes your weapon sharp when you use a whetstone. So I can sharpen my bow? What
Is the gunlance any good, or should I just stick to normal lance?
first time with the MH franchise even tough I wanted to get into it long ago but never had time.
Is there a particular way I should be doing quests and tracking my progress?
I'm focusing on doing 2star village quests before doing 1star academy quests. Am I doing it right or should it be the other way around, focusing more on HR before village stuff
>>345492458
It doesn't matter really. If you want to play by yourself, do the village quests. If you want to play online with others, do the guild quests.
>>345492458
The academy quests are meant for multiplayer so the monsters will have higher hp. It's better to do the village quests if you're solo but feel free to do the academy quests

Mfw that music turned out to be his theme. He is by far the best Elite Four monster.
>>345492371
They're pretty different. I like both a lot. GunLance is a bit "tankier" than lance, you can't do the triple dodge hops, only single side or back hops. It has heavier hitting attacks though. Who doesn't like making a monster's face blow up?

>>345495004
Have you ever had a monster leave just as you were placing a trap, then chased it to the area it ran to, then had it immediately run away again back to the area you placed the trap? This happened to me once the other day, and I thought it was very strange, as grateful as I was.
That ending sure was something.
>>345495514
Thanks coach.

My anonymous friend, I beg to disagree!

well this is out of my league already
>>345501124
I think I have to wait until the next quest to actually take these flagships on
>>345501124
The flagships have massively buffed HP in their invasion quests, so there's no real reason to kill them other than bragging rights.
Source: Killed all four consecutively in sub-30 minutes for the final Village quest, but timed out on the Glavenus invasion mission using a weapon with only 20-less true power.
>>345501242
They have hugely inflated HP but they're quite killable. I didn't fuck with Astalos and had to run from Gammoth but took Tama out after a 20 minute struggle.
>>345500524
Yeah. Only thing that shows up is the mario jump though.
It said there was a usj card, fairy tail card, and the like. plus a donkey kong title or something. But I see none of that when I choose title and card.

I fight the first iodrome it takes 3x as long even though it's a perfect fight
same with tetsu
same with great maccao
same with blagonga
First time I fight them they have like 2-3x hp for no fucking reason.
What the fuck?

>>345501124
took me 45 minutes to kill gammouth as a prowler. I nearly failed the quest due to timeout.
As a person who didn't enjoy MH4 as much as MH3U, how is MHG in comparison to 4?
I didn't like the mounting system in MH4. It was boring and made things too easy.
>>345502650
I felt the same. The introductory khezu fight was specially long compared to other quests.
>Tfw just tried Aerial Greatsword
It's so ridiculous but so god damn fun.
>>345503508
Mounting was nerfed, you wont mount a monster 100 times during a hunt anymore.
>>345503290they come back
>>345503508
Its even easier with aerial style.Just don't do it if it bothers you so much. Can't do shit about online players doing it though.
>>345503508
Monsters have way higher mounting resistances. Even with Aerial party members I very rarely see more than one mount per hunt. Many hunts go by with no mounts at all. They also changed the system so that attacking the monster as it's mounted doesn't do damage, but helps bring it down faster and builds Hunter Art gauges. So no more standing around with your thumb up your ass.
>>345503639
kek. Aerial made me mount monsters 3x per battle
>>345503508
I love mounting. I always try to make it to be able to mount at least 2x per monster in 4. I hate underwater battling though.
I'm having a hard time finding out just what some of my shots do as a Heavy Bowgunner

>>345505474
Get in the habit of always checking what items you need to upgrade and always working towards that new upgrade. Working towards upgrading your gear is a core of the game. Getting materials to create items and learning to upgrade your weapon was the whole point of those boring starter quests with no large monsters.
>>345505495
You're missing a number there chief.
>>345505075
but anon,Great Jaggi isn't in this game
>>345505498
HH, anything that can reliably inflict status, anything you're actually good with
>>345505474
Your basic SnS combo should be R+X,X,X,A,A,A.
Roll away, then repeat this infinitely. Never ever use X,X,X. I can beat Macco in five minutes with the starting SnS, it shouldn't be taking you 20.

Why is it that capcom can never make pre-rendered character look good in the monster hunter series? Even monster hunter stories in game character look infinitely better
>>345505826
The bulk of the game will be fighting huge monsters and having fun, it's just the start that wants to teach new players to craft items and upgrade. Which is kind of important, seeing as how not doing that stretched out a simple battle to the point of it becoming boring.
Most upgrades come from killing large monsters, it's just the first few that want boring things to get your feet wet.
Is there still no way to load bow coatings from a sheathed state without having to attack first?

>>345486052
What happens to hammer when you get to the giant monsters? Should I just switch to GS or HH?
>>345506450
Everything is solid. S&S is a good beginner weapon that you won't completely figure out until much later, it has a great learning curve.
Not sure about Hammer in this game, but it has always been a more technical weapon since you should be targeting the head and breakables with it.
Also, adept S&S is either, useless or really hard to pull off. The dash it forces you into after a successful perfect evade is too awkward, I can almost never connect the perfect dash combo. I suggest Striker or Guild for S&S.

>>345506779
>What happens to hammer when you get to the giant monsters?
Funnily enough, bigger monsters usually have heads closer to the ground than smaller monsters.
Tetsucabra, Akantor, Ukanlos, etc. All have really low heads compared to Zinogre and some other smaller monsters.
>>345506912
>went into that one with felyne lander, supercat and pro transporter

Hammer will still work, but newer players are still gonna struggle to aim for the head when monsters get more active. Throw some traps on the ground to make them hold still
How is this game difficulty-wise compared to MH4U? My friends keep saying "it looks way too easy" because of the "stupid flashy styles", even though they've never played it before. Your thoughts?

reeeeee
>>345506779
HH has a good moveset for hitting heads above the ground, yeah. Works great on Brachy.
but even the big monsters have openings, so don't worry about it.
>>345506450
Hammers all I've ever really used. I'd say its pretty good, but having nothing else to compare it to I honestly don't know how much better other weapons are.
I considered using hunting horn, but I'm hooked on aerial hammer now and might switch to adept eventually too since its alternate moves look pretty cool
>>345507163
Generations only has Nakarkos in its Colossal Monster class. Hammer still can hit it.
>>345507242
>can play as a cat
>this armor isn't in
I am legitimately upset
>>345507147
This is only a high rank game, so things die relatively fast.
until you get to deviant monsters.
>>345507147
Its definitely easier, but thats more because of the lack of a G rank and a few tricks that make things go more smoothly for most weapons
Low rank and high rank may feel simple, but deviant monsters approach 4U difficulty
>>345507291
Ok cool, guess I'm sticking with hammer
>>345485701
LS GS and CB users are fucking cancer, if there's more than one of these on the team it's guaranteed I'll spend the match on my knees. I just ragequitted after a LS user cancelled my hunter arts three fucking times.
What is a good starter Glaive tree?
There's a starter quest to gather 4 dragon amber pieces. I got 3 pickaxes and got two more from the old cat. I got one amber piece before all my picks broke. I HATE GOOKS WHY CANT THEY MAKE GAMES
>>345489027
Serviceable
Remember, the whole point of X's upgrade system is to make nearly every weapon usable if not top tier
Why they went with this and not transmog is beyond me
>>345507714
combine mystery bone with one of your ores or stone. Same happened to me too
Whenever I Feel Like It-ly reminder to replace your N3DS's nub with a PSP stick for an actually functional (but still static) second stick
>>345507714
Prowlers have infinite gathering ability, doofus.
You aren't supposed to gather as a hunter anymore (Unless you're charm farming)
>>345507909
Are prowlers palicos? I fucking hate gathering, are you telling me I don't have to anymore?
>>345508085
Yes, prowlers don't have to use picks or nets to gather, they also have no stamina (Infinite sprint) and don't need cool/hot drinks.
It's literally ezmode for gathering.
>>345508085
you play as them. you switch to one through the palico board
>Decide to try out Switch Axe instead of going pretty much all GS and Lance like in 4U
>Energy Charge gets like 75% charged from a single burst finisher

Are you fucking retarded?
>>345507561
The bherna/obsidian weapons are solid picks for nearly all of the melee weapons
The cephalos tree is easy to work with and if you just upgrade it without changing branches it ends up as one of if not the best glaive for use with bludgeoner
>>345508282
I spent a game with two GS users playing baseball with my character, so no.
>>345508203
>Why is this allowed
Capcom realized no one used axe mode, so instead of balancing the weapon properly they just went all in with sword mode.
>>345508282
A bad GS player IS cancer
>COnstantly missing charges and tripping everyone with the spin attack
>Spends more time running around looking for a lvl 3 charge opportunity than hitting the monster because they don't know patterns
>Thinks they're a benefit to the team even though the SnS player is out DPSing them.
>>345508619
This is probably retarded but I think a decent way to actually balance Switch Axe would be to remove the Power phial altogether and slightly boost the damage all around to compensate. Then you'd actually have a reason to switch back and forth between Sword and Axe.
And obviously this would need to be in a game without fucking busted Hunter Arts.
this game is too dark
>>345508282
GS has always been cancer

It's the most braindead weapon in the game.

This worked, but I'm now at 3/4, almost out of time, and my iron pickaxe broke. Someone kill me
hey guys im very late
my friend wants me to buy this to play online
im not sure if i enjoyed the monster hunter 4 demo. seemed pretty grindy. is this game better or just another clone?
what the fuck did they do to my beautiful lance, it's so odd to have such a delayed third hit in guild style, and I can't get used to the other styles for it
Hammer bros, what style do you use? What skills are you guys going for?
Does Guard+(2) have any effect for adept lancers?
Is there a way to make well done steak really quickly? I hate using the BBQ spit to grind out well done steak
>>345501656
Need to buy those from the weeaboo trader cat at the ranch
>>345509163
Play striker then, it restores the original poke and its actually the best style.
>>345508992
It's the most different MH game ever.
Which really doesn't say a lot. I don't know how you came to the conclusion that MGH4 was grindy just by playing the demo though. You are not wrong, but that's literally impossible to deduce by playing the demo.
Just judge wether you like hunting huge prehistoric looking monsters, it's not that hard. That's all the game is about.
>>345509163
Lance has been fucked since 3U desu. It's time to let go.
>>345509332
Adept block is like having Guard +2 without actually getting the skill.
>>345509163
As someone who didn't use Lance much in the other games, I love this new lance
The third hit is extremely satisfying
However if you want the classic quick pokes, go striker, you also get 3 hunter arts, all of the ones so far have been great.
>>345484542
SnS is once again the highest DPS weapon, HBG is stronk as well.
>>345509408
how's the character customization? like appearance and stuff
call me vain but im more motivated to do a grind if i customized my appearance
>>345508807
No, I think that's pretty reasonable
As it is power phials are objectively superior to the others in all but a few situations, and as of X/G any axe without one is a gimped piece of gimmick trash
There's a bunch of ways they could try to balance it but since it's been like this since Tri it's probably not changing anytime soon
>>345509652
There are a lot of facial options but not only is the game 240p and usually zoomed out, if you care about stats at all you'll probably be wearing a full face helmet most of the time
There are tons of cosmetic armor sets to make though

>>345482916
I can't decide what weapons to use this time around.
In 4U I mainly used HH and GS, and I want to get away from them, but I planned on using Switch Axe, and I read that the meta for that is basically just to stay in sword mode the whole time with whatever bullshit arts they added, and I don't really wanna use half a weapon.
So /v/, what should I used? I'm leaning toward checking out Charge Blade since I never tried it before, but I don't know anything about it.
>>345509652
You can customize your character's looks and voice at the beginning. After that you have a bazillion different looking armors out of which only a fraction will give you advantageous skills in limited combinations. You can of course just pick based on looks but the playerbase is autistic and will likely kick you out of lobbies if you show up with a mixed set that doesn't give skills.
You can do whatever you want in solo mode.
>>345509174
I've been using guild style, only just started playing though, might try out aerial now
>>345482916
>>345510101
Charge Blade has a ton of mechanics that the game never really explains to you even in the weapon tutorials, so you might want to check out a video or something if you go for it
Really satisfying weapon to use though once you have a handle on how to use it, easily my favorite since I tried it in 4U
>>345510312
>x has entered the hub

>>345509356
At a certain point you can ask the chef to make you steaks in bulk while you're out on missions.
Which HH style is best for someone who has never touched it before?
>>345482916
I really, really want to lick that foot.
gib monster hunter ost links
all of them
>>345510441
Awesome. What star mission is that about?
>>345506450
Play around until you find something you like. Everything feels viable in Gen. I fell in love with Aerial Hammer, since there's no complex controls and combos to remember but positioning and aim are really key. Once I get out of LR I'll swap it up but I'd recommend you try that.
S&S is fine and even buffed from 4U. Apparently people who like S&S also tend to like Evade Lance (Evasion +2).
Alright guys, no bullshit. Adept SnS: Viable or stupid.
>>345510240
Thanks anon, I'll check out some videos and give it a shot
