Post huntresses.
Need HH recommendations
>>345484094
Go with the one with highest raw and most green.
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
>>345484897
>>345485916
>mfw stamina oil
I hope there's more oils down the line because this shit is dope. If they remove them for the next game I'll be a bit upset
>>345486236
Looks stupid on females, if you like cold res its ok I guess?
>>345486657
Never considered the switch axe, I figured it was similar to the greatsword
>>345486873
It's way different.
>>345486780
that fucking pic, I was about to go request it in a drawthread
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
What's a good great sword in the beginning? Currently at 3 star village quests and running with tetsu armor
>>345486657
>Using CB
>Have 5 phials stocked and red shield
>Monster is sleeping
>Some assfuck SnS user gives it a lovetap in the legs while I'm getting in position
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.
>Just got the game
>Realize that it's locked 30 FPS
4U had more FPS than this REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
>>345487340
Did you cuss him out in chat afterward? bitches gotta learn somehow.
>>345487850
It's a handheld man, if you want good fps get a pc and emulate mh.
>>345487456
Oh nice, yeah I thought it required long charge attacks like the GS
>help someone kill nakarkos
>dont help me and just leave after ranking up
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...
>>345486854
>looks stupid on females
Abhorrent taste, don't talk to me or my silly hat ever again.

there's a special place in hell for that one, don't worry.

Why aren't you playing prowler?
There's not a single other being that you'll find in this life.
That could be considered cuter than the Meowstress, my wife!!
>>345489036
i get kicked everytime i join as my boomerang cat named Boomerang
>>345487756
I think you meant to say Pokke.
>>345489036
Because I find sitting in a single place for the entire hunt throwing boomerangs boring as sin
>>345482916
feet
>>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.

Do cats get more memory as they level up?
>>345491070
yes, up to 8 ( so i heared im only level16 right now)
Any rooms?
>Finally meet Gammoth on the Popo Tongue Quest
>The size of the mother fuck is much more bigger than I thought he would be
>His Music starts playing
>The urge to hunt him increases 10x folds
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
>game shows you where you were when the monster dies
>can't see shit because of the reward boxes
what's even the point
>>345491820
I feel you anon. I didn't care for him much until the intro cutscene from the demo.
>effortlessly throws tigrex off his back
>looks at him like "Bring it on manlet"
>this cool ass music plays as they begin to fight
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?
High rank turns (HR4 and above)

Finally got to the flagship monsters in village quests. Are their armors/weapons any good?
They all look so good but I need functionality too
>>345494270
Hellblade Dinovoldo's weapons are the best in the game. Period.
>set trap
>monster immediately changes area
Goddamnit capcom, remove this line of code already, reeeeeeeeeeee
>>345487601
Typically, you post it to Miiverse and download the picture from that.
Yo guys whats the jaggi/bdrome armor combo for attack up L early?
>>345495273
Bulldrome Cap (the Gunner one, not the Blademaster)
Jaggi Chest
Bulldrome Arms
Jaggi Waist
Bulldrome Legs
You'll need 4 Attack gems too.
>>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.
How did you guys get your Butterfly Beetles?
I've been farming from the Moga Bee Yard for a good 20 quests now and I haven't gotten a single one, but plenty of Great Hornfly. I need at least four.
>>345467839

If I pirate this, can I still play local with my friends?
>>345489037

This is why you never let a woman lead the hunt.
>>345482916
Just got the game, I downloaded all the dlc but it doesn't seem to show up in-game unless I'm missing something.
For example the downloadable guild card stuff don't show up. like some of the titles and backgrounds

>>345499884
My anonymous friend, I beg to disagree!
The Meowstress and I are soulmates you see!
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.

Im tired of the bulldrome/jaggi clownsuit. Do i go for rathalos or ceanataur set? Im using LS or SA depending on the monster.
>>345485785
Not anymore
>>345484542
Aerial HB Aerial Pellets fucking cancer but its good
SnS is still good
Did they buff most monsters in their introductory fight?
I don't mean just the big 4, but most any monster's big original fight.
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?
>>345485701
not really. the meter, the positioning and the styles kinda complicates things. But its flashy af, so I'd consider switching to it once you get comforatble with GS
>>345485701
I will fucking murder you
>get new modem and cant get my 3ds online anymore right when i thought about buying it
is it good?
Any lance advice for a newfag? Should I just use guild?
>>345502650
I noticed Iodrome and Khezu taking way longer than I thought they would but others are going down sub-5.
>>345502962
Use Adept and parry everything like third strike.
I'm just starting out. Mains are Hammer, GS and LS. What weapon and armour build should I aim for so I know what I'll be hunting? thanks
>>345502650
I did the second Yian Kut-Ku quest first and had an easier time in the intro qone.
Are the flagship monster sets any good?
I was the user Hamham about a couple of hours ago. sorry for bailing out on one of the quests, my kid was acting up and threw a tantrum so I had to bail sorry
>>345502962
Poke, poke, sidestep all day
Learn which attacks you can and cant properly counterattack. Remember you can block/counterattack weaker roars, wind, and tremors
>those fucking hitboxes
>>345500727
Anon I know your feelings for the Meowstress are hard to conceal.
However, you must realize thatshe's not real.
Just booted up MHG. Why does this look ugly compared to 4?I miss my Caravan family ;_;
>>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
What exactly to 'Stinger' and 'Force' do?
What can I cure with 'Remedy'?
Am I retarded or is there no in-game description of what each shot type does?

>>345485701
this game itself is not good for new players. you should just skip playing it if you are a filthy casual. its literally as hard as dark souls so players beware, prepare to die.
I did the first quest in the game to kill some shitty little reptile with the starting sword and shield. It took me 20 minutes and I nearly fell asleep. Do fights get shorter when I get better weapons? I was just hitting it over and over and it was so boring
>>345504410
Well shit. I'm glad to be an idiot and have this wealth of info pointed out to me.
Cheers anon!

Reminder to turn 3D on in the options to activate AA so the jaggies don't turn the game into an unplayable mess.
>>345504621
Fights get shorter as you get better at the game. Great Maccao should take around 5 minutes, no more than 10. You're doing something wrong to take 20.
>>345505137
Savage
>>345505137
I dodged all it's attacks and hit it in the back as many times as I could. I did not get out of it's face the whole time I was fighting it. Should I have gotten a better weapon somehow?
>>345504710
DUDE
>>345505231
WEED
>>345505216
You can upgrade the starting SnS at least twice before fighting Maccao
>>345505216
Were you keeping your weapon sharp with Whetstones? Are you checking the Forge to see if upgrades are available? Are you bringing Pickaxes to mine for ore as you hunt and explore?
Lagiacrus feels pathetic now, like a mashup of Khezu and Najarala but easier than both
>almost every monster in early LR is weak to fire
>no fire switchaxes available until Rathalos in 5* village
>>345505364
I used whetstones as my weapon got weaker. No I didn't upgrade anything, I figured you wouldn't have to do anything for the first fight of the game.
>>345504960
Different room now. Pass is still 7235.

>I figured you wouldn't have to do anything for the first fight of the game.
Theirs ur misteak
>>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.
>>345505441
>Using Elemental Phials
:^)
How do I git gud with IG? I completely ignored it with MH4.
Also is there anything important I should know about palicoes or can I just skim over that stuff earlier on? Im only doing 2star quests at the moment.
>>345505630
I only did the first one of those because I was wanting to have fun
perhaps I have chosen the wrong game
>3 Star village quest for delivering mushrooms
>Oh no hunter this quest it totally safe teehee
>Get dropped in with Glavenus
>Kick its ass without carting and capture it
Are they going to introduce all the monsters like this?
Glavenus was a fucking joke
>>345505797
You are aware a SA can have elements without also having an element phial, right?
>>345505648
>>345505495
Fuck, it's 03-2213-0021-3763
SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YAAAAAaaaaaaaaa
>>345489037
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?
>>345505861
Did they reference the ass-kicking you gave it or did they just act as though you bitched out?
>>345506327
You can roll out of your unsheathe attacks instead of actually firing
>>345506378
They still acted like it wrekt me
The guild girl even say "oh did you capture it? No? bawww"
New to HM.
Are Sword and Shield and Hammer solid choices for weapons?
Trying adept S&S and aerial Hammer.

am I missing something or is that how it works?
so do get an optimal cat do I just have to keep checking the indentured servant vendor until I see one with 'most' of what I want? Sucks because I want one that looks like a certain way too.
>>345506438
What a crock of shit that is then. You'd think they'd include some alternate dialogue for pushing its shit in instead.
>>345506493
you can cheat with free DLC cats, but yeah, make it a habit to checking the rooster once a while
HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY SHIT
THE GALVENUS' THEME IS SO GREAT
IT SOUNDS LIKE A CHEEZY MOVIE'S CAR CHASE SOUNDTRACK AND I LOVE IT
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rozZvW7zYAE
>>345485701
For solo? Very good.
Online? Just focus on not tripping people. Please.
>>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.
Spoilers if you haven't finished 3* village quests

>>345505809
IG is gonna stay a MH4U weapon only for me. Upgrading it is a pain and it got nerfed to the ground. It's just not worth bothering with it.
>>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.

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

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

>>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

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
>>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.

>>345482916
I really, really want to lick that foot.
gib monster hunter ost links

>>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.

Why am I doing this to myself, I usually just look up key quests and do those, but I'm just mindlessly grinding, wanted to finally get to quests where there are real big monster.
Does 4 star finally give me some harder monsters? Like at least Rathian to where I have to make potions? Haven't done the urgent, owlman seems cool

I'm gonna bet that HR4 isn't much harder and still easily soloable, isn't it?
I'm nearly done with 3 and still haven't carted more than once on a mission.

I've been going hammer but other than having exhaust break rage it still feels ultra gimped compared to other weapons, just like it did in 4U, though with slightly better KO potential, though still getting completely and utterly outshown there by SnS.
>glavenus weapon with mosgharl set and a blaze jewl decoration
>>345507147
Its a harder game unlike what the dipshits here on /v/ say since they dont know how the low to g rank system works. Low and high rank monsters in this game have much higher hp and damage than the 4u varients. The only thing harder in 4u was artificially difficult garbage like apex rajang
>>345511553
Then stop putting all the village requests to get ingredients behind fucking 20 bear ass quests.
I just got a chance to sit down and start playing. What the fuck is this weapon level shit? Why cant I just upgrade my gear?
>Fighting Snowbaron Lagombi, my first deviant monster
Jesus fuck I wasn't expecting it to be hard, maybe it's just because I suck against Lagombi.
Are deviants High Rank? I felt he was hitting me way too hard on my LR gear
>>345507147
It seems sort of in between MH3U and MH4U, where MH4U was on the harder end. But so far I haven't carted once, and that's after probably a dozen or so hunts.
>>345511583
do you mean 'gimped' as a bad thing?
I tested every weapon except glaive because I dont like it, and I bop every monster faster with hammer (probably because im super comfortable with it), but it seems amazing
unless u mean gimped as a good thing, then carry on lol
>>345511812
Best way to git gud against him is just understand that he's going to spam his spin move and when he picks up snowballs, which he does often, hitting him (especially aerial) staggers him and equals free hits.
>>345486236
Pretty badass in my opinion
>>345511812

Wanted to get his armor because my tetsucabra armor wasn't working anymore but when I fought him again I just didn't have the patience
>>345511908
It's cause you're so used to it that you have a much easier time with it.
But it's slower, weaker, and has a much worse range than a lot of the weapons. I'm still using it cause I love the weapon and it was my original weapon when I first entered the series but everything it does another weapon does better.
>>345512029
The spin move has crazy range, it got me almost every time. I capped that fucker after a shock trap, KO and pit trap sequence, it was intense and fun as fuck
>>345512159
It definitely seems slower than in 4, and least the startup of the Y move. I will probably complain about it when I get further in the game lol.
>>345500250
Normally in the game, me and my crew would already have him on the ground

>>345482916
Legs are the best.
>>345512857
Hopefully because they're saving it for the next game. They might not have wanted to introduce a new weapon type into an anniversary game.
>>345513117
The hound and boomerang are from like the first or second art books, so either MH1 or MHFU
>>345512857
that was eventually adapted into the Felyne Fighter/Palico system though, although much of it was left out like riding them or giving specific commands.

>>345482916
Does anyone know if there's different dialogue when you slay the monsters when they first appear is it just completely unnecessary to bother unless you want early materials?

>>345513710

>>345513841
The c-stick on the New 3DS is pretty useless, so it's not a big deal.
>>345513891
Completely unnecessary. The game dialogue assumes you ran away.
I'd recommend veteran players to try anyway, it's a fun challenge in a sea of too-easy Low Rank quests.
>>345513117
Prowlers are essentially a new weapon
>>345513909
Related question, is everyone flocking toward this game now? I enjoyed MH4U when I played, which unfortunately wasn't all that often.
>>345509174
>>345510176
Aerial is the fuckin shit. It's probably the most fun I've had using hammer, but it takes some getting used to. There's no spin charge for aerial, but you spend most of your time in the air anyways and smash faces with quick combos or the dash charge.
>>345513717
They can, but they can't have gathering+2 and charm chaser.
>>345514038
Yeah, I was wondering. I captured Gammoth and the village elder was hoping how to tame it when I already did. That's pretty lame, I was hoping for some kinda of skip or extra shit.
>>345514009
What's the framerate on the old XL? It's supposed to have better hardware than the regular size, right?
>>345514106
Aerial hammer and HH are great.
Best way to use them, IMO. Adept is a good second option.
>>345514254
Old XL has the same hardware as the old 3DS.
>>345514221
I think the parts are a neat reward. If you're lucky you can get an early upgrade.
Kind of salty though that Tama didn't give me a Tail. I severed the tail but carved a scale and my beloved paralyze Lance needs one to upgrade.
>>345514254
30.
Any high rank rooms?
Ok somebody explain the material types system to me.
I got this Chargeblade that needs 2 monster boners L and 4 shiny beetles.
I have 14 boners but no beete.
Down there it says it requires 6 material types from the boner kind.
I have 14 L boners but somehow I cant upgrade it. Whats the dealio?
>>345514465
Is it 60 on the New XL?
>>345514457
I never understood why you don't get tails 100% when you cut them off. I understand getting scales or gems or whatever, but the tails should be guaranteed in the reward box.
>>345514694
60 with drops.
>>345514697
I've been getting tails without even cutting them a lot more in this game.
It's weird.
>>345514759
On the old one, does it drop or is it a stable 30?
How does the start form previous file thing work? Does it just give u the ability to continue with a new character pretty much?
Asking because my save fucked up and Im going to see if a friend will send me theirs
>>345514646
You need 2 large bones and 4 beetles, and then 6 points worth of random bones
The specific parts are mandatory
>>345514646
It's extra
In 4U you would've needed 2 bone L and 4 shiny beetles.
Now you need 2 bone L, 4 shiny beetles, AND 6 other bones.
It's a negative, now you need even more parts to craft things than before.
>>345514646
To simplify it down to the basics:
The items that are named, such as Monster Bone L and Shiny Beetles, are mandatory for the upgrade.
The ones that aren't named, such as just telling you X number of bones or ore, are just for adding up "points" for the upgrade.
>>345514646
You need 2 Large monster bones, 4 shiny beetles, plus 6 points of bone materials. The points system is pretty much you choose what materials to use, each material is given a value and once you hit the required amount you can upgrade your weapon.
tl;dr get your bones and your bugs and some more bones.
>>345515005
It's not so bad. Most of the time it's like just slap an extra few shitty materials that you already have 99 of just lying around.

>>345515295

>>345511563

Only in the end game, which IMO is fair enough because of how tough it was to learn to use properly and the amount of trial and error deaths to learning charge strats on most monsters. You want to talk OP, it was hammer for the whole game.

>>345498142
Welcome to monster hunter. This is so bad when theyre weak. Having monsters in enviroments theyve not been in yet in the games is fun and irritating for this reason. Also just stuff I never played before. Khezu for example. Was weak left to sleep I never played enough Freedom Unite so I didnt know where the fuck he slept made a few guesses and was wrong. Finally found him in his sleep zone hit him 3 or 4 times he flew away. Chased him down (paintballed that time) hit him literally once and he flew back to go sleep. There has to be a better way to code that. Hell just make them stay in the sleep area once weak.
>tfw diehard GS main since the PS2 days

>>345516047
NO I DONT WANT IT ANYMORE
>>345515880
Just stop, anon.
It's not worth the pain and suffering of going through dozens of gathering quests.
Contain your completionist shit and hold off for the next mainline MH, where they hopefully won't have hundreds of this shit.
>>345502650
I think so. But honestly first fights against monsters in the games have always confused me. Running no food related bufd or debuff to their health it seems like sometimes thwy take way less time to kill on the first run of a quest amd others longer.
>>345506130
Man, the only thing I hate about early game is that all of the early large monsters are just fucking mob machines. If there's one thing I hate in monster hunter its being mobbed. Combat just ain't built for it with most weapon classes. At least it gets to more enjoyable shit in 3 star. But fuck 2 star.
Is anyone else getting issues with their SD card saving progress on this game?
I use a 16GB MicroSD on the Animal Crossing N3DS, and after every few games I'll get an error saying the SD card isn't detected.
Every other game I have is fine, and runs with no issues, but on this one, I can't beat anything without getting an error saying I can't save.
>>345506608
But their too busy spittin' mad memes, my dude.
>>345516286
Why did they do this? Do I really have to wait until a proper mon hun game to be autistic again... I did everything in 4U but it didn't feel like a chore.
Where do I find the SnS oils? I saw them once but I have no idea where to find them again.
>>345516131
I don't really try to mount solo because I'm a non-aerial Lance, and it's totally possible that the aerial people I've played with online are shitters. Or maybe mounting tolerance is higher online. Either way even in LR I don't see anywhere near as many as 4U.
>>345507262
Im finding aerial everything to be amazing (gunlance, dual blades, greatsword, switch axe). Only at 3 star so far but everything about certain monstera that used to annoy me I can just jump over now. Looking at you khezu. Hes a bitch with aerial just jump over him to avoid all attacks. Aerial gunlance knocking stuff down constantly for wyvern fires and the new explosion art is crazy.

Thing is I compared after the fact
using the same exact setup but a different quest or what have you and I kill the monster much, much faster.
The biggest example was when I did the first Great Maccao, took like 10m to kill.
I do a gathering or small mon quest that's 2* immediately afterwards, no changing anything and I encounter a random one, kill it in <4m
Whats a good lance line for LR?
>>345508865
Its not different than any other cancer weapon. Just because you push x more times with your SnS, DS, Lance (A in this case) doesn't make it more difficult. In fact its easier since you don't have to worry about recovery and can dodge quickly and easily after everything. Every weapon can when with simple strats. Their all fucking easy except maybe hammer because of range issues and speed and HH because of notes. GL is only difficult because its awful. It used to be pretty solid few games ago but nobody wanted to learn it.
>>345516441
Glad I'm not the only one.
Thankfully it hasn't ruined my save or cost me a ton of progress, but it's the first game to cause the issue for me.
>>345516318
Maybe it has to do with the size of the monster? Or just placebo effect. Or you had a good hunt early on

I've tried reformatting and everything, but it hasn't fixed the issue, and I don't know whether to buy a smaller 8GB microSD card and go from there.
>>345517065
I love Twisticrawl for its paralyze in online play.
Garuga has 130 Raw with green sharpness and it's available as early as HR2.
>>345514902
You start over, you keep all your items rare 3 and below. Anything you had above rare 3 is converted into zenny. You can recreate your character, obviously, but game progression starts over as well. The original save file is left intact.
>>345517589
I thought it kept your quest progress
>>345515790
>MHG looks worse than MH4U
Uh, no. 4U looked like donkey shit. This actually has better textures and some fucking normal and specular mapping.
>>345516060
Hell, they did have it better coded back in MHTri. Monsters never flip flopped zones often in that game. And once they were weak they stayed in the sleep zone. I don't know why they couldn't get it right in this game.
>>345516538
Well, I haven't gone online yet. I usually wait awhile to go online, so maybe your right.
>>345517668
I'll list exactly what it says when you select Reuse Data
>Keep items up to Rare 3
>Items you can't keep are turned into zenny, part of which you can keep
>Keep a portion of your Wycademy points
>Game progress resets, except for the progress of Training Quests
>Keep any claimed item packs
>Can reclaim MH4U bonuses, except for items and zenny.
So you don't keep your quest progress. On top of that, you don't even get to keep all of your wycademy points, and don't receive the full value for the items that were turned into zenny.
>>345515880
KEEP AT IT MAN, YOU CAN DO IT.
You can really tell the old maps from the new ones, huh.
I look forward to the next mainline entry just so I never have to look at these massive, flat expanses of wasteland ever again.

>>345517854
They fucked up the zones hard too
The ledges added to MHFU and earlier areas ruin half of the map
And then there's shit like nibelsnarf in area 3 of the desert where shit just does not work and he spends half the time running into and clipping through walls
Glad to see Blangonga is still his charming old self.
any good hammers I should be working towards early on?
>>345518403
That's pretty hilarious considering this game literally sells itself on just porting a bunch of random content from each game together. They had nothing but free time to get these things working.
>>345518185
I always wondered why that was a control option in Tri.
>>345518638
+1. armor recommendation as well. thanks!
Is the mushroom eating skill still in the game?
If so what has it?
Which hub quest gives palicoes a higher level cap? Mine are stuck at level 20 and I need to get one to 25 to unlock Lion's Maw rank 2.
>>345519212
just doing the keys and ranking up gets you to at least 35
>>345518638
>>345518938
Just use whatever you fucking want
It's almost impossible to go wrong with picking weapons in G
You'll be using hellblade weapons at endgame anyway so it barely matters
>>345519128
Mycology? Yeah it's back. The earliest armor set with it is High Rank Mosswine.
So is the Ultra Charge Burst really worse than the Super one now? Nerfs I can understand but one so bad it invalidates what should be the strongest hit sounds insane.
>>345518638
The petrified hammer is totally fine and the Obsidian hammer is one of the best hammers in the game.
Nothin beats being at 4 star village and having a massive bar of green sharpness with 110 raw.
>>345519646
No, it's still strong. All the damage just happens in one spot now instead of a shockwave.
>>345510587
aye
>game comes out half a year later in us/eu than japan
there's no excuse in this day and age.
Doing the villager quests and I'm noticing I actually have a surplus of money instead of scraping for pocket change like most other MH games. Do you guys bother to keep up to date with more than one weapon type during the village just to keep the monotony at bay?
>no worrgi armor set
YES IM MAD
Can you upgrade armor into its high rank variant in MHX or do I have to make the set again with HR parts?
>>345519759
Are you sure? I keep hearing that it just doesn't do enough damage unless you're using Overlimit and it's only there if you fuck up using the Super burst as a punishment. If it's only the nerf to the shockwave range that's fine.
>>345519886
But they've gotta do all that difficult translation and say "git gud" in one of the first lines the bherna gal says!
Are these styles going to continue to be a thing in MH5?
>>345519978
But anon don't you love dromes instead?
>>345520028
like, i just pulled up some recent high-profile games (destiny, UC4, and the new deus ex) and all of them have a global release date. it's really just inexcusable.
also >mfw no G-rank
never really struck me how ridiculous the G rereleases are until now. a few new quests and one or two new mons/subspecies. is MHG at least difficult at high-rank? and they've butchered gunlance and CB?
>>345520134
Do we look like Capcom to you?
>>345520268
Yes
>>345520026
AED does 75% + phial explosions
Ultra AED does 25% (tiny swing) + 75% (main attack) + phial explosions
It is basically worse in every single scenario
>>345520352
And consumes all phials and the shield charge, making it even more wasteful and punishing

Generations is a weird game. I kinda like it aside from Diablos not coming back bringing back the fucking dunes; the shittiest desert map ever made.
>>345520352
That's pretty depressing
>>345520134
Honestly, I'm fine with the styles staying
It's the hunter arts I dislike
Yo Generations has tons of cosmetic fun armor. I can't wait to hunt in a bath robe or fight with a frying pan while dressed as a chef.
>>345509408
Lance has some of the best kill times in MHG
>>345515005
on the flip side the number of required material types needed has been cut down, which actually makes it easier to upgrade weapons because of this
>>345509408
lol Striker Lance is godlike, it's one of the top weapon in Gen
>>345520549
> but he doesn't replace his shell when it falls off
This is such a good thing. I mean, maybe it would be okay if after a couple minutes he replaced it. But what was the fucking point in FU of working so hard to break it if you only get like two hits on his dinger before he instantly gets a new shell?
>Blangonga gets gutted and went from impossible to KO to falls over at the slightest impact
I don't really see him as gutted. He's faster it seems and hits way too fucking much with shit that used to miss all the time in FU. Almost none of his moves are useless now.

>>345509408
>Lance fucked since 3U
You mean Tri when it lost its triple hit counter.
>>345505441
This.
Lack of fire in most weapons, but Swaxe especially.
>>345521163
You can use them for hunter arts, or bind them to something else that already has a button.
>>345521112
Don't stand infront of him and just dodge to the right and nothing he does will ever hit you.
The most dangerous part of him is the fucking tiny monkeys that get in your way and constantly ice blight you. They are the most annoying fuckers so far.
He seems to be balanced around the fact that he jumps fucking everywhere all the time so if you can only hit him after he starts doing something highly punishable (breath/slam/ice ball) because he doesn't immediately jump across the map after attacking.
>Inceadeus has been in every single game since the SA's inception
>except for MHX
So, what's the catch-all SA this time around?
>>345520549
Shogun Ceanataur will replace its shell in Gen. Did it twice in a row with me at the marshlands while I was trying to get wyvern scalps. The third shell looked different. I assume you can't destroy that one but its health is so low at that point I'll never know.
>>345521386
His swipe hits right and so does the punch but you won't see them coming because the swipe is too fast and the punch looks exactly like the slam on startup. Changes are that something is gonna catch the player. Really he's just annoying for the same reason as MHFU, he moves too fucking much.
>>345505441
You mean the very same problem that was true for MH4U and, to a lesser extent, MH3U?
Can't imagine why they'd even bother fixing such a thing.
>>345521586
Those are the moves that you don't stand in front of him or you get hit.
just approach diagonally or from the side and if he does something slam/ball/breathe then you go for heavy head hits, otherwise just wail on the rest of him.
And then scream and cry as he jumps around the map for 10 years.
WHERE ARE THE FUCKING BUMBLEPUMPKINS YOU WEEABOO CAT
>Challenge Zinogre rapes me left and right.
not sure which weapon is the right one. I though hammer was my best choice.
Eitherway. how much it affects the game by making the other village quests?
>>345521718
Its really shit design when the whole thing the player wants to do is break his teeth for the drop.
"Let's make a monster that punishes automatically for being in front, but also never sits still so you have to hit his legs all day."
At least he stays down longer in this game.
>>345520549
>Shogun Ceanatar gets buffed out the wazoo in terms of speed, but he doesn't replace his shell when it falls off
He does. Like as soon as I broke his shell, he fucked off to the next room and got a new one.

>Even with Aerial party members I very rarely see more than one mount per hunt
Sounds like your aerial party members need to git gud, I alone in a 4 man party can get 2 mounts per hunt. On a deviant.With a bow.
>>345524030
What do you recommend before I get to that point? I'm thinking Brachy seems like a good fill-in weapon while I wait for a good endgame SA.
My R button died.
Only about 330 hours in MH4U.
Gen just came out.I'm ready to die now.
>>345524212
Yes, keep jerking yourself off more
Make sure to use lube or something, don't wanna chafe the skinNot that anon, but aerial is best style. If he can't get more than 1 mount per hunt, he sounds awful.I'm so glad they fixed the issue of attacking while someone else is mounted
>>345482916
I've been loving the shit out of aerial.
Mostly playing with SnS and GS
also since all of the the beginning melee weapons have the same damage wouldn't the fastest weapons be the strongest?
In still on 2 star quests and I'm just curiousalso its comfy as fuck being able to go back to the first 2 villages. I probably have almost 1k hours between HMF1,2& Unite
>>345524540
There's probably either crud build up between the button or the rubber contact is off/ripped. Its a cheap and easy fix. I would open it up and see what's going on. Then apply the necessary fix.
>>345524481
Brachy and steve are good options, yeah
>>345524581
Agreed. Man, I initially thought Aerial GS was gonna be shit after seeing the japanese atk value differences. But after a mount, getting 4 full triple charges to my desired spot is fucking brutal.
>>345524698
dude wants to give up, he will give some other shitty excuse even if his r worked
>>345524687
>also since all of the the beginning melee weapons have the same damage wouldn't the fastest weapons be the strongest?
The raw damage isn't calculated like that when you attack. Every attack is a set percentage of the base damage. And that's not even taking into account monster defense.
>want to upgrade my CB because it bounces off everything
>only upgrade with green sharpness requires me to break Hermitaur shells
>>345524687
A single swing of a greatsword will use a higher percentage of that attack value than a single swing of SnS. For all intensive purposes weapon attack values only look different.
>>345523584
Guild Style is classic mode
Striker Style is focused on the special attacks but has a simplified moveset
Adept Style is all about rewarding perfect blocks and dodges
Aerial Style replaces your dodge roll with a hop that sends you into a high jump if you run into a monster with it
>>345524687
Different weapons do different percentages of their raw with each attack, so even if a GS and SnS have the same raw the GS is doing more of its raw per swing
This is how it's always been, Gen just doesn't bother with the cosmetic weapon modifiers
>ambushed by Bath Time Lagi on Bulldrome quest
>beat it in 30 minutes, no continues remaining

Jesus Christ he's insane. I hope the rest of the new monsters are that level of crazy.
i heard generations is the shortest MH since tri
is this true? i dont wanna waste $40 on Mh game i'll beat in 2 months

Why the hell would they do that?

>>345524921

stoooop, too many fingers!
>>345524698
I took it over to my local business for their techie to take a look. I was hoping it'll be cheap fix, I'm just mad I can't play my new game until it is.
>>345525019
Well that depends on your schedule. I don't think there is a single monster hunter I haven't beaten in a month. Maybe FU is the only one, because of how hard it is and the shitty hitboxes. MH4U was easily beatable in a month or less.
Its far longer than Tri. Just because it has no G Rank doesn't mean much. I mean, yes if you're skipping every side quest and just doing main shit then its gonna be shorter than 4U. But realistically if your grinding and playing most of the quests it should take at least a month.
I don't know what kind of schedule you have that you want a game to take 2 months to beat. That just sounds like you only play 2 hours a day or something.
>>345525210
>8 fingers and 2 thumbs is too many
Please leave, alien.
>>345525208
I like Astalos better. But I just love lightning niggas.Purple Ludroth running jump still is best attack tho
>>345524872
One GS required me to break Shogun Ceanataur's shell. I just got the Bone Hammer and upgraded it a few times because it's a big impact hitzone, so it won't bounce.
>>345525432
most triple charges should punch right through shells anyways.
>>345525378
The character has 3 fingers and a thumb on each hand in the actual source material, stupid.
>>345519886
Squeenix is a bunch of utter faggots when it comes to localization, what else is new?
>>345525307
It won't be that cheap if you hired someone else to fix it. He's gonna rip you off, I'm thinking. It's like $2 for the contact and then you just need a tri head screw driver, which is like $6 - $8 and lasts forever. At most $10 for you, and at best $2. But taking it to someone might be $30+.
>>345482916
What's the best Armor Set for early-game Hunting Horn?
>>345525567
Capcom*
I'm retarded
>>345524928
wow thanks for repeating what the npc said shithead.
I'm asking for which ones work best with GS and HH.
>>345525527
Yeah, but the low damage isn't gonna break that shell unless you focus all quest long, which is annoying. And it'll be super hard to hit consistently when he enrages, which is a lot.
>>345524928
Aerial IG is damn good for dodging. You can either close a large distance or keep a big enough distance from you and the monster to get out attacks you may otherwise not have been able to dodge with a normal roll.
>>345525628
Bone armor is fine and easy to craft.
So, it's good, right? I still have not bought it due to the complaint about gathering quests and sluggish 30FPS in the demo.
Also, should I rollmale or female hunter? Female armors are moe as fuck but I want to self-insert and talk with cute girls.
>>345525795
is Knockout King even useful?
>>345525883
Not really, but it's better than nothing.
>>345525860
You'll probably be playing with weeb girls who like cute girls as much as you.
>>345524872
I did that yesterday my boi. Just mount the fucker, load up that aerial, yo, and get to it. Godspeed to you fellow CBer.
>>345525628
The same Bulldrome/Jaggi clownsuit everyone else will use
>>345525965
Don't listen to this guy.
>>345526062
Fine then. Ceanataur isn't overly bad partway through. Rathalos stuff isn't so bad this time around but that comes in a bit late.
>>345526062
He's not wrong though
AuS/AuM/AuL is all you need for low rank for Blademasters AND gunners. Anything else other than maybe evasion is just overkill.
Best element for the 4 flagship monster arena quest? I would go for slime but I can't craft the Brachy hammer it seems
>>345525617
I'm terrible with tools, my hands are always shaky and I fumble and drop things all the time. If I had know I could fix it myself for cheaper, though, I would have, but honestly it's faster for me to have them fix it for me, even if it is more expensive.
>>345526360
elements other than blast are garbage in gen. Just raw dog it.
>>345526407
Then just do it faggot, it's just 30 fucking bux.
>>345526342
GS and Bow can clownsuit in AuS and Focus too
>>345526564
Any good LR raw hammers?
>>345526652
I already done did. Sucks that I have to wait so long. Thankfully, my friend has an extra 3DS I can borrow until it gets unfucked.
>>345526724
That's very nice for greatsword, but not all bows need focus.
>>345526754
Bone has pitiful green but is pretty easy to upgrade
>tfw there's no reason to use axe form anymore when using switch axes
RIP switch axe, you will be missed.
>>345526754
Petrified and upgrade it into Obsidian.
>>345527040
>he thinks axe was ever good
Axe mode has never been better than sword mode aside from hitting a rathalos with its tail cut out of the air. It has been and always will be spam sword mode. Mizar's defined it in 3u, Ceadeed axe reinforced it in 4u, now Hellblade Dinovoldo will continue to keep it that way.
Power Phial is just too powerful. The only way axe mode will ever be useful is if sword mode has its motion values completely gutted or power phial finally gets removed.
What's a good general use SnS to build towards?
>>345525795
since mail and legs give 10 maestro, what should I substitute the rest with?
>>345510101
The delegates..............
>>345527040
Axe mode will always be worse as long as Power Phials exist
>>345527442
I said this ever since Switch Axes were added: Power Phials were a mistake.
>>345527497
Ceanataur will let you gem in razor sharp, but you'll look fucking retarded. The only thing that really goes well with bone armor is the blangonga set, but it has ice attack.
Do you ever use the regular attacks with the axemode as a CB user?
Feels like its all sword and board until you got your phials up and then you do the mega combos with the axe.
>Get a few special permit quests
>"Lmao a lagombi, this'll be ez"
>Get beaten like a little bitch
Didn't realize you could make an easymode monster so terrifying/
>>345527758
Actually, now that I look at it, you'll need a charm or a weapon with a single slot for razor sharp with the ceantaur+bone setup, but single slot charms are relatively easy to come by.
Just got Gen and I've been using my SnS like I always do but it seems just a tad OP with the stamina oil
I honestly dont remember KOing anything with SnS before lol
Wanna try longsword as an alt weapon; is it still garbage like it was in 4U?
>>345527817
I do. The red shield gives a flat 20% boost to all axe mode attacks, and the vertical slashes are great for reaching tails and high heads.
FUCKING POPFISHES WHERE ARE YOU FUCKERS
>>345528207
Same here, but I need Wanchovies
>>345528207
Jungle, Area 3
Why is it so hard to get good gear early on?
I thought it was finally over when I unlocked Narga but I've done 3 hunts now and I still only have it's bowguns unlocked.
>>345528279
>>345528262
never mind, I just found out you can request them even if you don't have one of them
>>345527996
yeah that doesnt sound too hard to make. any HH recommendations?
>>345528536
The hermitaur HH gives attack and defense boosts, but if you're playing in a team then you might want to opt for the infinite stamina and defense boosts of the Tetsucabra horn. Or, make both, they're pretty easy monsters and are available to fight from the start.
>>345528418
Because, like any other Mohun game, items are unlocked whenever you acquire certain materials required to make them. Obviously you're missing whatever material is required to unlock the Narga bowguns for creation.
>>345528418
break his wings/tail
>>345528536
You'll look like shit though.
...Then again, now that I think about it, you might be able to pull off the "Hawkeye Gough" look, but I'm not sure.
>>345528856
id rather be credit to team than look good
What skills are essential for HH?
>>345528536
Depends on the situation.
For Solo, if you're an aggressive HH you'll need Attack Up. I personally use either the Bone Horn or the Najarala Horn since it gives me HG Earplugs.
If you're in a group and your grouped with shitters go defense. If there is a Hamme,r Bow, or Dual Swords in that group go for Negate Stamina Loss Horns.
It all just boils down to personal preference on which horn is the best. Except Healing Horns. They are shit.
Are there any gear/item softwares out for Generations yet?
I know there's been an ASS for every other game so far.
>>345526286
Rathalos is basically the best set in low rank since weakness exploit is back to P3 mechanics and attack up is always good
I ended up making it in my first run of X and only replaced it once I could make rathalos S
>>345529280
What do you mean? Like apps?
Theres a database app i use
>>345529280
There's been an ASS for X for ages.
>>345529332
It's also only a few gems from AuM as well. AuL isn't too much more raw too.
What is a good Low Rank Bow set? The only suggestion I got was Ludroth for stamina recovery up.
