Title: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: Prpl_Mage on February 13, 2013, 05:37:22 PM
So yeah, I'm hyped about this. Demo will be released on the February 20 and I got it preordered and everything. For the 3ds though, don't own a wii u yet.

My greatest fear is that the game will most likely be monster hunter 3 but more end-game content. Although I do love the game it might get a bit lame to play through it all again. I did it in single player and then again in online and once more in High rank online (pretty much) but its been a while since I didn't just play to farm lagiacrus and deviljhos online.

Gonna be great, sucks than I'm stuck with the european servers though. I hate nintendo when it comes to online games. They translate the goddamn game to spanish, german, italian and french (and more). Which means that communication is pretty much impossible. Germans and so on have their own names for items, enemies, abilities and all the short-commands like "I'll set a trap" or "let's go" come out un-translated when they pick them. Sorry guys, I don't understand a word you are saying. It's hard to convince them to speak english when the game have been translated for them. And from that comes the racism(not really but y'know) So you enter a game, they write "ger?" I answer "nope." they go "then levae". Or whenever there are two people from the same country the lingua franca suddenly becomes that language to everyone else even when everyone else use English. And for some reason, other countries and learning communicating with English = pretty bad. They do a lot of reading and writing, but never really anything useful. Kinda like you people learn "foreign languages" I guess, odd phrases about stuff under stuff "the dog is under the table" and stuff like that.

Never mind, that rant wasn't the point of the thread...  Monster hunter 3 ultimate, for the 3DS and Wii u, coming soon, March 20, get it.

Already plan on it!  And the thing about American version is that it is ONLY in English!!  Except maybe the instruction booklet.  Depending the on game's size for Wii U, I'm gonna get it digitally.

You can get wii u games digitally now? Like actual games? Games that are sold on discs?

yessir. but more than likely you'll need an external harddrive. But digital is available. oh and this mh has waaay more monsters including subspecies.
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: Prpl_Mage on February 21, 2013, 05:08:39 PM
So yeah, played the 3ds version demo today. Game is looking great.
Two battles, lagombi and plesioth. You pick a pretermined set of items much like the colosseum.

Found the controls a bit wonky though. You hold L and press Y and A swap between items and use items on Y. Normal attacks are on X and secondary on A and a touch screen button. R is the transformation to sword mode for the switch axe which I kinda remmber being the block button for everyone else.
Especially the item choosing bugs me. Not efficient. would have prefered that you hold down a button and use the change camera dpad to swap between items. Also, trying to change the camera to change where you are going in the water is a huge problem with the "stick" being the control and the d pad underneath being the camera.
I suppose I have to get one of those circle pad pro thingies to solve my issues though.

Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: daoman89 on February 21, 2013, 08:15:58 PM
funny thing, the circle pad wasnt compatible. idk if its just the demo but yea...
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: daoman89 on February 21, 2013, 09:48:17 PM
i looked up compatible games for it and mhtriG was on it so its prolly just the demo
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: Prpl_Mage on February 22, 2013, 09:33:32 PM
Is it just me or does it feel like a huge chunk of the game is missing out when there is no gathering of materials and crafting?

They added a mining pick and all that at the supply chest but there was just no point in taking them when they only give you 20minutes to complete the quest.
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: daoman89 on February 24, 2013, 05:38:21 AM
They're just focusing on the action of fighting I think.  I mean, you can purposely fail the quest and mine, fish etc, but they want to reel in people with action and killing I believe.

Carry on

Carry on

Mostly handheld games. Like Ds and psp. Instead of sending it to the states to get translated to english first and then shipped to the rest of europe they send one to Europe. Creates some hilarious results such as advance wars days of ruin. It is also possible that Europe wants to process the English alongside the crappy languages like german/spanish and french instead of recieving the english version and having to add the others ones later on.

Awesome news about the Wii-U version. 

Frist, American and Europe online play with each other will be available with a free patch that you can download a few weeks later after release (Which isnt a big dea cuz u should be playing offline first anyways).

Second, you can play it on just the gamepad itself so you can poop and play! Awesome!
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: Prpl_Mage on March 01, 2013, 12:47:57 AM
Awesome, but the 3ds version doesn't have online mode now does it? How far can you get with the pad away from the wii u? 'Cuz it kinda feels like it's cheating if the wii u player can walk around with his game donwstairs to make lunch like me the 3ds player,

Glad they just allowed for Europe and NA to play together, mixing in a whole bunch of asian people usually ends pretty bad.  Not that the people are bad. Just, cultural differences and the lack of readable western letters. And add South america and everyone will open by asking "BR?", crazy Brazilian people playing video games.
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: daoman89 on March 01, 2013, 01:23:57 AM
oh god yeah, the language would drive us all insane lol.  I'm not entirely sure the distance, but I'd say like 10 or 20 feet.  It's not that far, but far enough you might be able to reach bathroom or kitchen depending on where your system is.

Also another cool thing is that you only need to plug in the power cable to play games that can be played either tv or gamepad.  Sooo I guess if ur waiting for ur car to get its oil changed with ur toyota care, u can plug it in an outlet and play mario, zelda wind waker or monster hunter lol.

There's no wifi on 3DS unfortunately, but u can play with a person locally on their wiiu.  I'm not sure on whether or not u can play online with them, but that's probably doubtful.

Hey, what is the graphics like on the Wii u gamepad? Just got curious when I thought about all them games supporting gamepad play.
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: daoman89 on March 03, 2013, 04:10:46 PM
I think it's an HD screen or something.  But you can go on Nintendo's website and they'll go into it with greater detail and you'll learn more about the system.  It's a win win lol
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: Archem on March 03, 2013, 06:25:22 PM
From what I understand, the graphics on the gamepad are not hardware driven, they're streamed from the Wii U itself. So to put it simply, they look the same as they would on your TV, just scaled down to fit a smaller screen.
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: daoman89 on March 03, 2013, 09:08:51 PM
Sounds right.  All you need to know is that the screen displays things great.  The controller itself is great too and enhances gameplay.  I don't know what the touchpad on the ps4 does though and honestly don't care, but the gamepad's screen does well to make things easier to do and brings about a different experience.

So uh... almost 9 days til hunting season begins anew!!

Also, lego monsters

Digital Download for wiiu is like 6.2 minimum GB I read.  Hopefully that's true.
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: daoman89 on March 11, 2013, 11:58:17 PM
So what are some differences between this one and Tri?

Number of monsters!  Tri only had 18 large monsters...

Ultimate has 11 newer monsters to the game and some subspecies of old ones bringing the large monster count up to 50!

so 18 to 50.  18... 50... big change.

Village has way more quests with higher rank and there's also a new area called Misty Peaks.  There's other crap but yeah it's gonna be great.

There are actually 51 large monsters in ultimate, also, there are 5 more minor enemies, you know - Cannonfodder stuff.

Also new weapons and armors and new looks of old weapon and armors.
The inclusion of the missing weapon classes such as bow, gunlane, dual blades and horn.
A second sidekick who is more oriented towards attacking to contrast cha-cha's tendency to just kite enemies and sing songs.
And there are more enemies that can appear in the deserted island while doing resource gathering, such as the black diablos. Nice...

purp, those are awesome

Thank you good sir

Post by: daoman89 on March 12, 2013, 06:13:56 PM
51!? hang on lemme recount lol.  And i didn't wanna spoil too much for you :P

And I love those lego jauntskis too.  Where'd you get em?

Here's my source

http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/MH3U:_Monsters (http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/MH3U:_Monsters)

I did the 8x6 for 48 plus the 2 extras at the bottom which got me 50.  Where did I miss one!? lol
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: daoman89 on March 12, 2013, 06:21:15 PM
Wait!  They're missing Hungry Deviljho.  Good catch Purp.

I made them, have enough lego stored to create a copy of skyrim or something.

Here's my source

I did the 8x6 for 48 plus the 2 extras at the bottom which got me 50.  Where did I miss one!? lol

They actually have a tab at the same page called "number of monsters - comparison with previous games", it said 51 there.



Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: daoman89 on March 13, 2013, 01:23:03 AM
Lol i always tend to do things the hard way, but at least I saw a missing monster.  I'm pretty sure it's Hungry Deviljho though.  I wish they kept Tigrex in the game, but it's whatever.
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: Prpl_Mage on March 13, 2013, 09:53:36 AM

Isn't the nargacuga pretty much the same thing only black and fluffy?
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: daoman89 on March 13, 2013, 04:43:49 PM
I haven't fought one so I couldn't tell you.  Narg looks coolor tho, I'd rather fight a panther like thing.  If you ever get a wiiu witht he game tho, lemme everyone know so we can play! (Since patch will allow europe and US)
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: Prpl_Mage on March 13, 2013, 06:38:10 PM
Neither have I, couldn't really get into freedom unite because I started with Tri.
But people said that Barioth resembled Nargacuga which resembled the tigrex. Or something.

Gotta save some cash to get my hands on a wii u though. At least if I continue to supply myself with other games and stuff.

Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: daoman89 on March 14, 2013, 02:26:17 AM
another added bonus is G rank armor looks different.
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: Prpl_Mage on March 17, 2013, 07:14:09 AM
5 Days left over here, should be 2 days for all ye' Staters. Gotta report on how much like the original the game is, 'cuz that the one thing that would bug me.

Been playing a bit of Lord of Arcana on the PSP lately, great game. Kinda reminds me a bit of monster hunter. But not awfully much. Combat is taking place when engaging a monster in the "overworld" and most of the enemies are humanoid rather than dinosaurs, like skeletons and goblins. Still, the pleasure of killing enemies to receive items which makes better gear is there.
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: daoman89 on March 17, 2013, 04:56:41 PM
I love the "Staters".  Clutch name lol.  Tuesday is the day good sir!  My wiiU account has $70 waiting to be used on the digital MH.  And what do you mean by reporting the game?

Post by: daoman89 on March 21, 2013, 04:15:40 AM
lol sorry! i was playing it alot! Its awesome just gotta get used to online differences. Its tri just better. Crafting and geming is easier to do and some armor skills have changed. New weapons are good from what ive seen.
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: Prpl_Mage on March 21, 2013, 07:42:11 AM
One more day till it's out here. I suppose I will see most of those changes on my own. How is the circle pad pro working with the game now? I purchased one and snake eater.

3DS multiplayer isn't limited to just arena quests right? 'Cuz that would suck.
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: daoman89 on March 21, 2013, 01:05:56 PM
well since i only have wiiu version i cant tell ya lol. but playing demo the lock on helps greatly. 3ds is full game with no online.
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: Prpl_Mage on March 22, 2013, 06:44:37 AM
Worst thing about having an item delivered to you through the mail - you have to wait.
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: daoman89 on March 22, 2013, 10:57:12 AM
agreed. another major improvement is geming.
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: Prpl_Mage on March 22, 2013, 01:45:36 PM
The game arrived!

a bit boring that the intro movie when starting a new game is identical

Damn the game is smooth, the circle pad pro solved all my problems with the camera. Might not have been worth the price but dammit, it's monster hunter!

PS, the font is a bit blurry, looks fine with a bit of 3D on though. Also, the text, like descriptions of enemies and items gets a bit too tiny as well.

Do you have to purchase entries to the monster list on the wii u as well?
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: daoman89 on March 22, 2013, 04:40:23 PM
yeah its a direct port basically. 3ds xl would work better with the game probably.
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: Prpl_Mage on March 22, 2013, 06:17:50 PM
Love the fact that they added more switch axes. Not so happy that upgrading one of them requires a monster bone +, I remember getting those of HR great jaggis in that event quest to kill 4 jaggis in TRI.
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: daoman89 on March 22, 2013, 06:41:22 PM
u can get those low rank
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: Prpl_Mage on March 22, 2013, 09:29:37 PM
u can get those low rank

Oh, they changed it?

So I basically just have to beat some of the larger monster and pray for a drop

PS: I kinda miss the sub-quests. the missions feel slightly more empty without them.
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: Prpl_Mage on March 26, 2013, 06:51:10 AM
Managed to get my brother to buy this, we spent a day playing. He haven't played any monster hunter before and I realized how stupid the skill system must sound to others. Also, there is no great way to get an overview on it like, at all. In the end he just purchased whatever he thought looked coolest.

Also, kinda stupid that the multiplayer quests don't offer the same hunts as the singleplayer ones. My bro had to go offline to hunt some great jaggis for his weapons because the multiplayer doesn't have a quest for great jaggi, neither Arzuros or great wroggi. At least not on the rank 1 quests.
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: daoman89 on March 26, 2013, 09:52:24 AM
ppl who dont know how to gem and nag me to hurry up in my room pisses me off. u dont go into a room and try to command us. example today. dude was like 'yo, abandon ur quest so i can help u.' i told him nah, i got it and he was like 'ok, hurry up then.'
if he looked at my equipment, clearly i could take down lagiacrus on my own. so after the quest, he kept trying to make us hunt agnaktor, but my friend couldnt yet. so he was rude and told him to start grinding so we can go. so then we got fed up, called him a pussy and to hunt the agnaktar w the other guy and wed focus on the quests my friend had to do.
he ended up leaving, but seriously. u dont come in bossin us around when u cant even gem on my level lol
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: Prpl_Mage on March 26, 2013, 08:22:45 PM
And then you imagine the same thing only that the other guy is french and don't get it when you tell him that your buddy is too low a level.
Most games is some german guy entering going "barroth bitte" or something like that. The start a quest, some guy goes "let me join u?" but he's too low to accept it, you tell him exactly that. And he continues like "send me pass!" and so on.
At least you can communicate with your idiots.
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate

Also, Nibblesnarf. Trying to get 3 Nibble claws to upgrade my ludroth axe so I can kill the Uragaan a little easier. But damn that sandy Gobul and his blasted claws. Claws are like, only wound reward. And you don't get two different rewards even if you break both legs, you need to break both for that one reward. And the claw drop rate is loooow. Killed it 5 times, broke the claws got 1 so far.
Farming a bunch of Rathalos for that awesome rathalos set. Who can turn down a sexy beast like that?

Post by: Prpl_Mage on April 08, 2013, 02:25:52 PM
Haven't fought a zinogre yet, last thing I killed was a plesioth. Been farming materials and trying to get some commodities since. Feels kinda bad that the poor argosy captain got tons of stuff I don't have and I simply can't get the stuff to buy it.
Just waiting for good gear to come my way so I can start killing those damn Joes.
Also, who would've thought that a quropeco weapon would be used so far into the game?
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: Cerebus on April 08, 2013, 06:21:43 PM
Quick, random question. Is this game still "mission based"? As in... you're locked in town until you get a "mission", then you can go to a limited area, do your stuff, come back in town and be unable to leave until you take another "mission"?
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: Prpl_Mage on April 08, 2013, 06:28:06 PM
Pretty much yes.

Either you go freehunting in the moga woods or take a mission. Just like tons of games these days.
Biggest difference is that there is now a high rank freehunt in moga woods.

Although the mission areas are more or less never limited as far as I know. They are pretty open divided into 10-12 areas with different resources and monsters.
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: Cerebus on April 08, 2013, 06:39:21 PM
Uhm... maybe I'll take a look at it, I don't know.

I tried the PSP one, and while I did like the crafting armour/weapon from monster loot and stuff, I didn't enjoy being unable to leave town unless I took a mission, and also didn't like how areas were limited to the mission you took.
I would have liked to be able to run freely in the world to farm cheaper monsters to craft cheaper stuff or something, and then take missions for the rarer/better stuff.

You kinda can, some armour sets and weapon paths are based on "cheap" monsters (non large ones), bugs and ores.

Also, monster hunter 4 is supposed to be more of an adventure game inspired by the manga or something.

Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: Prpl_Mage on April 12, 2013, 06:06:48 AM
Game is great, killed brachy for the first time. God what an ***hole he was. Those shockwaves are a no no. Good thing though, managed to get a brachy gem from his horn shiny drop. I think that's a good thing anyway.
Most of the subspecies are kinda fun, they 're like the originals but better. Like ice barroth vs barroth. It's like some wierd *** lazy pokemon evolution only that the developers couldn't figure out what it should look like so they just changed the colour scheme a little. It's not just an alternative species, it's actually an improvement, just look at our good friend Peco. Normal peco is kidna small, calls monsters, sings and deals fire damange. Crimson peco got flints that requires blue sharpness to get through, can call monsters twice, rage song, can do a flash bomb attack and occasionally flies pretty high into the sky while a deviljho is harassing you.

They must've changed the drop rate for luminous organs btw, I remember hoarding those (hoarding!) in the last game, got them all the time. Now I've killed ceadeus 4 times, gotten 2 deep dragon gems and tons of horns, hides, fur etc. But only 1 luminous organ.
Also hate the gems and plates. Lagia plate pretty much never drops, same with rathalos. And my brother was a lucky *** and got a rathalos ruby on his first HR rathalos. I need that for my friggin helmet.

So, what armour set are you sporting and why? Still using the rathalos for attack M and speed sharpener.
Are we all in agreement that the attack + elemental dmg  is the most important factor on weapons? Like, this enemy is weak to ice, but my ice weapon deals 690dmg while my fire weapon deals 820. The 120 ice damage that the ice weapon deals only brings it up to 810 while my fire weapon also got an elemental damage of 120 which brings it yo 940.
Any advice on single player Jhen Mohran btw? Never manages to kill him. And repeling him over and over kinda makes it slow to gather materials. Also, can you unlock him for multiplayer?

Post by: daoman89 on April 12, 2013, 07:28:46 PM
I'm a huge fan of Nargacuga with my Evasion +2. Evasion Distance, Sneak and Half Stun (I got them geming skills), Pink Rathian with Hi Windproof, Fire Attack +2, and Adren +2.  Volvidon with Attack (L), Tremor Res, his other perk and heat surge.  Brachy with Adren +2, Bombardier, and the Rage Mode skill.  Zinogre with Gloves off +2, Sharpener, and Thunder Atk +2.  Ivory Lag with Attack (M), Evasion +1, Blightproof, and i think something else.  Bug Armor with Dragon Attack +1, HG Earplugs, something else.  And blah blah blah
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: Prpl_Mage on April 12, 2013, 08:01:21 PM
Dude, you're sure crafting a lot of armours. I stick to a high attack bonus and whatever else follows.

Finally got some organs from ceadeus. Now I need some ivory lagia scales or something. Then some sand barioth claws for another thing, green plesioth for another one and high high rank crimson quropeco. But still not a single lagia plate to upgrade the bolt axe.

Playing a lot online? Finding some of these monsters kinda annoying going solo.

I seriously just got 2 deep dragongems from ceadeus but no organs. Goddamnit.

Finally managed to beat Jhen mohran. I think that attacking it with weapons is far more efficient than using the cannons and balista. That's what I did and it worked, had like 3-4 minutes left of the quest. Previous times I've attached speed gatherer and farmed the stuff to shot at it. Always depleted the supplies for each phase and then started attacking it.
So what'ya know. Maybe it's the same for ceadeus? That the ballistas aren't worth it in this game.

I love some of the new masks they added for the shakas. Whetstone mask, stinkbomb mask, pitfall trapmask, artillery mask
Also still needed some materials from Brachy, god he's annoying. Once he rages (which is like always) he becomes so fast and relentles and there's explosions everywhere. So annoying. Btw, the smith guy said that slime weapons are useful for destroying body parts and deal damage to heavy armoured monsters. Is this actually true or just one of those "well it is relatively better".


Btw, the argosy captain is stuck in mooga village, which is kinda annoying because I want to trade some items and traps. Always says "4 days left till departure" but he's not going anywhere. Only beaten lagia, barioth and some others of the current rank. Thought he would start going once I beat brachy which he told me about but that didn't work.

I made Brachy my bitch.  He'll leave after you complete certain quests, i noticed it too.  I think he's there for an important purpose so he stays until he fulfills it. 

I wish I could hunt with you sometime though!

So the Argosy started leaving once the urgent quest was unlocked. Zinogre, interesting guy there. My biggest issue is kinda obvious, I have a negative lightning resistance with the rathalos set. Never really makes much of a difference in normal case because I try to avoid everything. But new enemies and crappy defense don't go well together.
Defeated him of course, but I fear that my character became intoxicated from all those potions. Zinogre is a cheap,cheap monster though. Didn't drop much at all. I broke both horns, both paws and the tail.

Still going crazy trying to get lagiacrus plates, also duramboros tailbone, and the monster specific gems of course.

No clue where to find the friend code thingy though.

Oh there it is, 3222-6667-4919

One thing that bugs me is the monster icons. The nargacuga doesn't look like a nargacuga and everything kinda looks like something done by a class of 5 year olds during arts and craft. The ones is Tri were better, even the ones for old chaps were cooler in freedom unite

Post by: Prpl_Mage on April 16, 2013, 02:05:10 PM
Having a bit too much hassle with zinogre and ivory lagia. That lightning damage against my -10 res is kinda annoying. Any ideas what to swap to? Been thinking about some of the different sets but I think I love attack and sharpener too much to let go.

Nargacuga is fast btw, really fast. Still gonna kill me some deviljhos sooner or later. Got any advice which quest I should go with? A quropeco quest seems like the most obvious choice perhaps


Gotta say that I am very pleased with the circle pad pro. A bit wierd that it runs on an AAA battery but I've played monster hunter for more than 130 hours now and I still haven't been forced to change it.
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: daoman89 on April 16, 2013, 03:51:09 PM
You can keep your armor if you get the thundercaller foodskill.  deviljho has his own quest after you beat ivory lagi i think.  brachydios armor does well and same with nargacuga, volvidon, the bug armor, zinogre and ivory lagi. u just wait til you get to alatreon.  He's a just an ***hole.
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: Prpl_Mage on April 21, 2013, 09:20:03 AM
Did you beat the mark of a hero quest? That thing is impossible. I spend more than 20 minutes beating the Ivorylagia who slaps me like 30% of my hp with each hit. One firstaid don't compensate for the health I lose from the simplest attack.
And when I finally get it down (and receive 3 mega potions) brachy and azurerath appears and slaps me around. Such an evil, evil combination. One that spends all time in the air and another one that just kills me in the meantime.

Anyway, I beat all the village quests. Forged the azure rathalos armor set (it doesn't have any weakness to lightning) and trying to upgrade my weapons. Just don't have any luck with drops. How hard can it be to get lagia horn+? Or something simple like agnaktor claw+? The guy got 4 feet, what's wrong with you hunter-person?!

Still trying to get the commodities to get the "high level" items like the masks, some furnishing. Got the weapon codexes and the dances and the abilities.
Speaking of commodities and items, I still haven't found slickaxes or gloamgrass buds. Also, where do you get the royal crests that are needed for some of the combinations?

And speaking of combinations, I always receive gunner abilities on the charms I find which makes it hard to mix and match the skills to get stuff like tremor res or earplugs.

Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: daoman89 on April 21, 2013, 09:53:33 AM
make brachydios hit rathalos with slime explosions and dodge dodge dodge. the buds are in the misty peaks or night d island resource hunt i think. and ur super unlucky lol
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: Prpl_Mage on April 24, 2013, 05:53:17 PM
Man, that guild sure is cheap. They don't even have the decency to give you a map and torch in G rank.

Enemies are harder, as in literally harder. Needs white sharpness for pretty much everything these days. Which is bad because i need to kill them to upgrade my weapons to white sharpness. Lots of quests. Green plesioth is a joke, he was just like an ordinary plesioth. Only green.
Finally finding some slickaxes, neat system. Mix a slickaxe with pretty much any useful crafting material and you lose your slick axe and gain 1 extra of that material.

The G rank armor sets confuse me though. The different parts have a weird combination of armor skills reaching to a total of like 4 or so instead enough to reach a bonus. Some of the sets are mighty sexy though, some are... not so very sexy.

The hunt continues!

Now, letting me fight two bracydios in the tundra is just plain evil.

Still crafting and stuff. Doing some of the event quests as well.
Finally done with all the low rank materials I ever needed, now i just need to farm some HR and GR.

Btw, capcom kinda suck. I needed some volvidon talons for a weapon, and the only quest I can play with g rank volvidon is a 4mon hunt where you only carve mega potions. And one of the volvidons is considered "huge" so the only loot you get is like. Huge bone? jumbo bone? something like that. So capping one of them doesn't give me what I want
Lots of other examples where this is happening.

Try looking up the advanced quests on this site http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Monster_Hunter_3_Ultimate (http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Monster_Hunter_3_Ultimate)

It's not the best but it's unfortunately the best on the internet so far besides Gamefaqs which currently only has weapon trees for the most part.

How far do you need to go to fight alatreon at g rank?
Also, is the village alatreon at the same rank as the multiplayer alatreon?

Btw, they should have made it possible to add additional storage pages. It feels like I'm gonna fill out all these 10 pages pretty soon. Already barging into the 7th page and I haven't fought anything at HR7 beside the double Brachy.

You're right.... Never really thought about it, well I knew I was writing a lot of posts here because I see my avatar everywhere (why is no one else using avatars? It would solve our little issue with unclear post start and ends).

Fought a little. Struggled with inconsistent controls. Found the actual gameplay to be rather uninteresting. I played it on a 3DS, if that matters.
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: daoman89 on May 03, 2013, 11:06:08 PM
Game has a kinda steep learning curve.  3DS is probably a little more difficult to control.  It's all about timing and button mashing won't work.  An example is dual swords, their weaknesses are no blocking capabilities, sharpness dulls quickly and it's hard to dodge during combos because it won't let you or you hit the attack button too many times.  Another example is Great Sword.  Very slow and takes timing and if you miss, it can leave you open. But it is powerful and capable of blocking most attacks.  Controls work very well, you just gotta get used to them.

You pretty much need the control pad plus to make it comfortable on the 3ds if you ask me. The camera controls just bugs me out otherwise. Still, the AAA battery in it is on it's 200th hour now and still haven't dried out.

probably best drawn.  I'll make a request topic about it later so we don't go off topic here.

So.... how bout them Nargacugas
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: Prpl_Mage on May 07, 2013, 10:40:11 PM
Normal Nargacuga is fine, wings are just so damn hard.

The Green one was just a complete horror. Larger, faster, more combos. Awful. Only thing that could make it worse would be poison or something.

Trying to get past rank 7 but there is just no beating the dragon zinogre or g rank deviljho, it probably comes from switching between rathalos and azure rathalos sets that both have -20 something dragon res.  But still.
Trying to upgrade stuff and craft some stuff, but I'm not getting any Lrg Wyvern stones. I need a lot of them but no one wants to drop it.Only managed to get one so far against a S barioth and diablos combo when I had the food skill "lucky cat" (not crazy lucky cat).

Just downloaded and played the mini uragaan quest. Brings back memories of that "phantom uragaan" quest in tri.
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: daoman89 on May 09, 2013, 09:36:02 PM
Deviljho's my bitch.  Stygian Zinogre however can get annoying only because of its damn floating dragon balls.  You wait until you fight Lucent Nargacuga.  It is evil.
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: Prpl_Mage on May 09, 2013, 10:03:40 PM
I sure do hate captain goldbeard. I'm trying to get some furs and the deep dragongem, sure I expect the gem to be rare. But after 3 kills with everything broken I have only received 1 g cedeus fur.
Also the diablos hardhorn. Sure, the hardbone is easy but the hardhorn is hard. There's not a huge chance to get stout horns but the hardhorns are even worse.

Still haven't beaten Mark of a hero yet, beat all them individually at G rank but the combo is just terrible. I struggle with I lagi with his instant lightning fields and his humongous size. Then there's the combo and brachy always gets me one way of the other. Rathalos dies pretty easy but by the time everthing but brachy is dead - I'm kinda out of potions.

Also, the problem with deviljho is that he got a lot of hp, I start to panic towards the end, just like with every duramboros and make mistakes.
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: daoman89 on May 10, 2013, 01:43:21 AM
do you sleep meat jho and then bomb him? poison meat him and paralyze meat him. also if ur a DB user, the dragon and lightning combo should help or slime.
Title: Re: Monster hunter 3 ultimate
Post by: Prpl_Mage on May 14, 2013, 09:21:51 PM
So yeah, got a better weapon for joe and it all went fine.

Stygian zinogre with his blasted dragonballs is still a serious pain in my *** though.

Beat dire miralis, prefered it before goldbeard any day. Kinda passive, but impossible to be around when he is on all four. Also, what is the point of the ballistas if he starts shooting fire balls at you the moment you mount it?
The meggido weapons are great with some serious fire damage on 'em.

Silver and gold rath were kinda boring. Just a big open field, impossilble to place pitfall traps, no supplies. Just a pile of elder dragonbones in a corner. Can't for my life beat the lucent nargacuga either, that thing turns invisible....

Trying to beat mark of a hero again, using my slime switch axe but it's still not going great. I hate ilagi with a burning hatred, brachy and thalos combo just don't give me an honest chance when brach just blows his temper all the time and the other idiot just blows me around with his friggin wings and those blasted fireballs.

Just beat mark of the hero at last. Swapped from my slime setup to rathalos Z and the megiddo switch axe. My plan was simple, dispose of I Lagia as fast as possible. Took me no more than 10 minutes, the other ones struggled a little but my final time ended up being 28 minutes, no deaths.

And yeah sure about the area, but it isn't exactly impossible to revamp the place.

So, Alatreon online quest will be released tomorrow. Haven't had that much time to play lately though because of studies. Did start out a new character for fun. Gunlance, so friggin cool. Just finding it hard to cut those tails with the silly poking motion. The range of the switch axe is so much better. But the wyvernfire explosion, it's brilliant.

Also, noticed your message(Daoman) a little too late. Timezones and such forces me to get to bed.

yeah i have no idea what time it is there when I'm on lol.  My friend and I killed an azure rathalos in less than 7 min by ourselves, it wasn't fair.  Then we farmed like 5 or 6 Gobuls.

Post by: Prpl_Mage on May 28, 2013, 06:40:49 AM
It always surprises me how bad HP Arzuros have btw, I got the event quest gunlance after playing some port quests and started doing the village quests. I accidently killed the arzuros for the capture quest 4 times, simply because he died under 1,5 minutes.

Well, I should be at GMT+1 so like, 6-7 hours ahead of you I guess.

I accidently pulled my brother with me to fight a G rank glacial agnaktor when we were going for the HR one. He isn't really suited for G rank yet when it comes to armor and weapons. Basically just beat Goldbeard so that he could access mining nodes and bugs in G rank.
