So I've been rocking this Pink Knight shit for the entirety of guild high rank, but I only get 350 defense out of it. Is there a good non-mixed set that I could make for G Rank or is this as good as it gets, like I was thinking of making Steve armor or Golden Lune but I ain't too sure which one.

Do the weapon tutorials or play the demo, if only to get a feel for what weapon style you like.

Don't start with online, chances are you'll be a shitter or be grouped with shitters.

Try and get past Gore Magala (actually killing it) before starting online quests.

Also hit the monsters and don't get hit

Id disagree.
The game can be seemingly impenetrable at times. I guess my take would be try to learn as much of it on your own as you can, but don't be afraid to look up guides.

Especially when it comes to what armor skills do what.

But either way, don't get frustrated because its not the most beginner friendly game out there.

It's nice to be surprised by new monsters, especially if you've never seen any if them before, but look up elemental weaknesses on Kiranico if your weapon relies on elemental damage (sword/shield, dual blades, and light bowgun especially, but anything but the weapons that have tons of raw damage to some degree).

How the fuck do I git gud with lance weapons?

>>284977559
>offline range
Im just going to say it, I think offline ranged is one of the hardest things you can do in MH, and against some monsters you have to be either patient as fuck or a god to be able to win.

Its not that they are bad in any way, its just the way MH is set up makes it very difficult to stay alive as a ranged character if you dont have a few meatshields (i.e. other players) for you.

Personally I lance offline and HBG online, just to save time.

Japs only want handheld games

Capcom knew that the series couldn't stay on PSP forever and while the 3DS took a while to actually realize its potential, the Vita was looking pretty grim from the start. Also Nintendo helped promote the series in the west by advertising it and publishing Tri and 3U in Europe and Australia. In short, >>284977664

Its really not that hard though, just 1 set for blade and 1 for ranged.

>>284978663
>while the 3DS took a while to actually realize its potential, the Vita was looking pretty grim from the start
Not completely true, before the price and memory card announcement the Vita seemed solid. But even before the let down Capcom had moved to the 3DS because Nintendo was already distributing SDKs for the next gen of handhelds when they were finishing P3rd.
Plus there were some issues with western Sony divisons and P3rdHD. But really, western ports were irrelevant to Capcom.

I didn't die but actually timed out

I was using a destruction gunlance and was poking and shelling, full bursting, wyvern firing it all I could. I broke both claws and his tail. For some reason his head wouldn't give me an arrow. I guess I have to break his head first. I did still mess up by getting hit the meteors, needing to recover/sharpen sometimes and taking too damn long for his tail. But fuck that is leaving me salty.

The next game will probably be on the Wii U unless Capcom and Sony's relation regarding MH changes a little. If that happens maybe we'll see Portable 4th for Vita.

You mean PC? Well yeah we all wish for that.

>>284980828
Depends. The New 3DS is a stop gap to hold off until the next brand new system, but no one really knows how long it's meant to delay things. Probably in the next year-and-a-half to two years? The 3DS can't last as long as the original DS did. If they hadn't announced the new 3DS, I would've assumed they'd announce something for E3 this year, and make the life cycle last about as long as the GBA's did.

Capcom pulled some magic out their ass and made flawless online somehow.

The only thing iv ever seen that was odd was players sliding around a bit, but the monster itself is always in the right place and always takes damage as intended.

Got MH4 today, about one hour in it.

When do I get to the part where I get cool weapons and not sword and shield?

This is probably bait but just in case it isn't and you just somehow failed to read every single bit of text related to the areas you're talking about:

Charge Blade isn't even that bad. Just treat them like hammers, they should be mostly unloading on the head anyway. Now Long Swords. Fuck Long Swords. You can use them online if you know what you're doing, but if you're staggering people just fuck right off. I farmed Gold Rathian with two LS users, when I was using the Insect Glaive. I think I got my full combo off once in ten runs. Fuck Long Swords.

Once you enter HR you can find Palicos with the Launcher forte. They exist to be a springboard so you can get mounts or just attack shit that's in the air when there isn't a ledge nearby.

Your Palico will signal to you and if you run to him he'll launch you iirc.

Getting sets with Precision can be really helpful with certain guns, and getting Recoil skill helps a lot certain shot types. Get the status skill if you have a gun that has a lot of status shot types.

Well, I kinda get how that feels, everything dies fast with this thing. But that's the problem, everything else dies too slow when I use anything else.

I have a couple other weapons hanging around, I just never get to them. And I kinda forget to upgrade them. I've got a fire SnS but I'm sure it'd take forever to kill anything with it compared to the GS I have now.

/v/ jokes a lot about 'hit the monster dont get hit' but the sad fact is most people think the hit the monster part is more important than the dont get hit part and spend all of LR/HR just running to a monster, unloading on it, getting hit, then running back in, once they get to dala they get rekt by its 1 shot.

I cant imagine the pain they have to endure in G rank where everything 1 shots.

So what makes you the authority on that?

I've read many, many people say that it works for them and many say they still don't use it.

Hardly "It sucks and no one uses it"
>>
>>284981805
For HBG you want Normal or Pierce S up depending on the what the gun specializes in. Precision is nice if you can get it, and Recoil+ especially if the gun is centered around Pierce S. You won't be focusing too much on elemental or status shots with the HBG, but don't neglect to use the status shots you have available. As someone said before Evade Distance Up is very useful because you are typically caught in a reload or long firing time.

To corroborate the n3DS guy's claim, I have a normal 3DS and a n3DS and I can say for a fact that the 3D on the n3DS is better. On the 3DS I can barely stand to have it on for a minute or two since it hurts to look at and even on its lowest setting there's still double images and looking at UI elements and the action parts of the screen hurt.

On the n3DS I can have the 3D set to about medium and be perfectly comfortable. I actually prefer it to having it off most of the time and I am pretty sure it's because of the face tracking.

You sound like a HUGE faggot when you say 'Nobody likes the n3DS 3D, I didn't like it' and then when someone chimes up and says they do, you just say 'Well only YOU liked it so I'm still right'
>>
>>284982316
You can easily aim it to cover 1/3rd or less of the monster. I was using my IG vault more to get as far away from the LS users as I could than anything, it still didn't help. There were times where after the mount I'd be unable to even get in two hits, let alone a combo. To top it off one was using a Dragon LS and the other an unawakened (paralyze) LS. Against Gold Rathian.

Like the other anon said, check to see if your inventory is full, or if you already have pickaxes in your inventory. You can only carry 5 of each kind of pickaxe at any one time. If you already have 5 of a particular kind it won't let you buy more unless you choose the 'Buy and Send to Box' option when you first talk to the trader.

Kusha is babby's first Elder Dragon and easily stomped by lighting. Nu-Teo doesn't even have real flame aura that hurts you, so you can just beat the shit out of him easily up close without worrying about lingering fire damage.

Poison's pretty good now, since you can start building up to a second poisoning while the first is still active.

Dragon is the go to element if its a weakness. Otherwise I consider poison to be an all around excellent solo element for SnS this time around because the poison line has a very high raw and the constant application of poison boosts its times. Highly recommend going for the Poison Battleaxe line for offline, and a Paralyze line for online.

Most of the swings arc out for ever in front of you on both sides. You can aim it so you're mostly hitting with the side swings / centered. You don't need to fact the monsters center. With Rathian you can position yourself off to the side of her head, and aim out towards the tail. You'll hit the feet with every swing without touching anyone near the head, other side of the feet, or the majority of the tail. When she's tripped you can just rip on the wing. It's not hard.
