Hame is not really playing HBG lol
I don't intend to use it anywhere else apart from Hame runs.

Blademaster all the way!
You're a true blademaster if you don't really on traps :]

On topic, the July DLC is coming tomorrow, we'll also get the possibility to get the USJ Star Knight sets on July 17th.

Don't really care much for the USJ stuff since the skills they have are irrelevant to me, but holy shit. About time @ G Rank Gold/Silver Rath.

Star Knight soon ? Fuck. I don't want that, everyfuckingbody is going to be running this set as it is insanely overpowered :/

Also Monster Hunter tourney at Nintendo's booth at Japan Expo Paris. 2 men teams competing against each other to kill a Kut Ku, a Kecha, and a S.Zin for the finals. Knowing how the competitors played yesterday I'm positive I can crush them with my mate lol (went as far a 1 minute less than yesterday's shortest times in our mock runs)

Given that you and your mate are better than 98% French players I've seen, I'm positive about this lol

Hame set is retarded, I easily get less than 5 minutes clears on stuff like Advanced: Dark Domination with 4 players xD.
Siege Mode, fire away all day long, gg

Edit : fastest clear time so far 2:25

Those skills + Gravios Gigacannon

Tried against a village low rank Rathian, it took me waaaaaaay longer to walk up to her than to beat her up to death xD

But that's what Hame is for apparently

OP Hunters do not sound fun to me, unless we're trolling. Serious quests should feel challenging and engaging.

Gotta clear those episodic quests at some point. There are a few interesting stuff in there.

Those custom Hr999 quests are pissing me off real bad. I mean what is the fucking point of getting Hr999 in less than a minute if you don't have the gear nor the skills (nor both) to back the rank up? All it does is make you look like a fucktard who cheats and ruins the fun for everyone else. What's sad is that even innoncent players get involved in this and get Hr999 without willing to because they were not aware of those custom quests. Same goes for people who hacks their gamesaves and/or unlock DLCs before their official release (Star Knight anyone ? It should be unlocked tomorrow, and despite this a lot AND I MEAN A LOT already owns it. I mean sure, there are a few people who got the Star Knight quest legit by going to Japan and hosted it for other players, but the rest definitely have hacked the quest).

edit : on the bright side, unrelated but I got an attack 13 tenderizer 4 charm, crafted two more GS Sets with it, and made a HH Set with a Maestro 10 2 slots charm I had for a long time but never got the chance to use

Star Knight got so much attention because at the time it was exclusive to USJ tourists. There was no saying whether it was going to be released to the Western Audience, and given its appearance at Universal Studios, people were thinking it was more than likely going to be an exclusive to the locale. While that is certainly no excuse it is definitely one of the main reasons people flocked trying to get it, even moreso the fact that its mounting stats are pretty up there for an IG player. Sadly, the means of getting those missions wasn't even really a hack so much as it was an oversight of Monster Hunter's distribution servers. Thankfully it did get fixed after it was discovered, but Reddit had guides on the process working for at least a couple of weeks before the hole was closed.

My stance on the matter is that if you're not ruining others' gameplay (read: playing solo with it after you're already G3) that's alright, as long as you accept that any repercussions are on you, including any bans that may or may not come about as a result of gaming the system. If you're going to be using it online when there is absolutely no doubt you're cheating, begone with ye.

Congrats on the charm; I assume it has 2/3 slots?

Is it even possible to get banned on nintendo games

Yes, but I'd rather not discuss that.

Why? :F

I don't mind people using cheated stuff offline to try things out or simply for fun but they shouldn't bring this stuff online just for the sake of showing off because they know noone else will get what they have (ever or not at the moment because locked or whatever).

As for the charm unfortunately no slots but still good enough to upgrade my old GS set with an AuM and Weakness Exploit (no Au at all before) at the price of Sheath Control and Divine Blessing which is worth it imo.

So yeah with this I have
AuM
Weakness Exploit
Focus
Sharpness+1
Crit Draw

Which makes for a pretty solid GS set.

Better than watching the annoying stream so here you go guys.

What's it about the embedded video won't show up 'cause China.

MHX gameplay stream breakdown.

- Four villages, three old, one new.
- Those sheepy animals are called Moofas(?). Petting them can give an item.
- Red quest/conversation icons, different from MH4/U yellow quest icons. May differentiate between Key/Standard quests or conversations, who knows.
- When playing Online, text in the bottom right corner of the screen will state as such in the village.
- Hot air balloons will be used to take the Hunters to various locations for quests.
- Prehistoric Forest showcase
- Aerial Combat Style show-off. 4 different Combat Styles are applicable for all 14 weapon types.
- Dinobarudo showcase. Seems pretty aggressive with a lot of sweeping tail attacks and fiery spin attacks.
- Special attacks fill up a bar on the touch screen, when the bar is full, the attack can be used.
- Gunlance UI has changed, a coloured bar shows charge level and a number shows how many shots are left.
- Great Macau showcase. Great Jaggi equivalent, like a tail-hopping (pogo-stick) dinosaur.
- Shock trap appearance changed.
- Mounting is coming back
- Insect Glaive seems to have a new move which attracts bugs. The IG was made with Ludroth stuff, so he may return.
- Misty Peaks demonstration. Nargacuga is coming back. Lance super skill is showcased. It's demonstrated that super skills may be interruptable. So yay for trips wrecking crazy damage opportunities.
- Release Date for JP is November 28th, 2015. No Western release date.
- from the 1st of August to 7th August, there will be two weapon showcases daily, demonstrating all the new features.

I may have missed a few things, but that's the general gist of it.

Wow thanks for the breakdown ! As expected they made the new super skills rely on some sort of resource bar, that's a relief. About the GL my guess is they reworked it so it relies less on shell levels and more on actual weapon power, if they did so then it's great.
Also what do you mean by "a new move which attracts bugs" ? Neopterons or ?

Anyways, I sure hope Capcom is considering a western release for MHX after MH4U's success.

I think the idea is moreso to get other bugs to give you/extend buffs. Not Neopterons, just small insects from what I can see.

Just think of Fulgur bugs or the bugs that popped up around the Tower in MHFU.

They better bring back Steve with better agility and more moves.

Give me anything more for the HBG and I'll say goodbye to my money

There's that one huge fireball it fires in the ice cave in the MHX trailer.

Double post, but GaijinHunter posted a breakdown of the latest news drop about MHX! This is gonna be INSANE! (page 2 has also news about bowguns, bows and horns, along with a video I can't watch 'cause China).

Just, #MHXForTheWest for the love of god.

DID YOU SAY FIREBALLZ



Oh well, this attack just might cause new gunners to come, and it's obvious not many will be actually good ones

*Monster carting intensifies*

It looks like they plan to make the MH series more and more fast paced or at least making the whole battle mechanics much much smoother and dynamic.
I like that.


On a side note, I'm just about to level my Gore Malaga GQ up to level 140, but the thing hurts like a truck and it's not uncommon to have 3 carts within 5 minutes. One miscalculated move and things can turn to hell instantly, that's how I like MH. To be honest even if we fail the quest I won't be mad if we put a good fight. What I really dislike though is when people cart twice and decide to leave. I mean carting is part of the game and dying, especially at this difficulty, is definitely not unlikely to happen. There was one guy like that, but all the others I played with (around 7 or 8 different folks during my GQ leveling) were pretty chill and nice to talk to.

Monster Hunter Rule #1: Don't get hit.
Monster Hunter Rule #2: Get some reasonable armor just in case you fail to follow rule #1.
Monster Hunter Rule #3: It's okay to die trying, just try to prevent this as much as you can.
Monster Hunter Rule #4: Don't quit after two carts, you make the whole hunt harder by doing that.


Yeah, I like that too, one of the main stuff a gunner must do is to observe, memorize and foresee the monster's moves, because the G-rank GQs and/or Advanced quests can get so intense you might not even know whether you can reload or not

Thought I'd drop this here.

Desire Sensor tells you the chance of getting a certain item from a monster after a number of hunts (+ part breaking criteria), ignoring quest-specific rewards (purely from slaying/capturing a monster).

I have no idea how accurate it is to be honest but so far my results aren't really off from their calcs.

MHX : Aerial Style is the shit. Damn it, I swore to myself I won't be maining GS for the next game but an aerial GS ? *hesitation intensifies*
I really want to go through MHX or whatever the next game will be maining SA though... Or bow if it gets buffed damage-wise but the chances are slim.

Imagine trolling people in MHX by spamming supernova shot with HBG lolol

THE 'LOOK I'M A PRO GUNNER' STARTER PACK




I had a guy on a Shah Dalamadur quest who was G Gold and used this set, it took him 5 seconds to fire off the next pierce shot, he barely did any damage. Usually it takes me to shoot out all pierce shots and like 10 Normal lv 3s, on that hunt I used up all pierce shots, normal shots and was running low on pellets, then failed because he can't dodge for shit. Upon being told not to gun ever again, he told me to shut up and rage quit. Seriously, if you have an armor without skills, get decorations OR get a gun that doesn't rely on them.

Am I the only one that hates when classes are generalized, as in HBG is about Hame Set, so is LBG, IG is about the Kushala staff, CB is about ulti, GL is about shelling etc.?

Can you please just edit your posts together instead of making three separate ones in a row?

Anyway, to answer your question: probably. Sure, those "generalizations" are interesting, but I only play the games for fun.

@transformau : This is not quite true. Sure, HBG has that Hame niche, but that's about the only weapon who is used in such a particular way (and not to mention this only matters with the Gravios Gigacannon, rest of the HBGs are not suited for Hame). LBG is often used as a status/elemental gun since you cannot effectively use it any other way, Hame or standard hunt.

I don't see many Daora IGs online, mostly Hazy Casters and Hell Ruin Glaive "Omen" (550 blast is broken yo) with occasional Mind Sticks and relics. As for CBs, most users go for the ultraburst but there some who specializes in guard pointing playstyle (which is just awesome to watch and much more stylish than rushing the burst). GL is about shelling, well that's natural. If you don't shell you might as well play Lance. Shelling deals a set amount of damage regardless of monster part, that's GL's main selling point. That and it's got 3 shell types. Speaking of Lance, some players likes Guard Lancing better, others like me prefer Evade Lancing. SnS can be both a supportive weapon with utility skills to set up traps or AoE healing but can be played as an extremely fast elemental weapon just behind the DBs. DBs users are mostly Demon Dance spammers but some some people like to maximize damage output by risking themselves into Archdemon mode (I think they call that the "slingshot style").

I'm missing out on some other playstyles but there is no such thing as strict as you make it sound like. It's only natural to play by a weapon's strengths. The only weapons you could say are more or less rigid in terms of playstyle are the LS which relies solely on reacting to the monster's every move and dancing around them, GS which is all about timing and knowledge of the monster's moves (though there is also GS-Hame which doesn't work the same way at all), and Hammer which functions similarly to the GS but you're only going for the head.

So yeah saying that everything is only limited to one particular weapon or task is greatly misunderstanding the game.

With MHX coming soon (to Japan and hopefully to the UK, USA and other countries) along with the new aerial attacking styles, there will no longer be any need for the "Insect Glaive Mounting Spammers" (IGMS) from MH4U.

It makes sense for them to add the aerial style combat to the game since they will be bringing back locations featured in older games (those that were made prior to the production MH4U and its engine).
Furthermore the environments never had much purpose for the ledges in the past (unless you were a gunner), luckily they should now serve us well in this new and upcoming game.

Quick note: So flashy

White Fatty's here.


I also reached 1033 damage per shot yesterday, Hame scrublords can hide and cry in the corner.

do you mean 1033 attack

Edit : Slaying 40 Remobras alone is painful.

Also Aerial Style GS doesn't get land level 3 charges. *cries*

Yeah w/e
Still better than Hame so doesn't really matter
I mean, if I'm correct then the raw would still be 688-9 damage per shot which is still sick and doesn't require siege mode to be even usable

Reached my 1000th HBG hunt last night, hype

Now aim for 5000th
Finally met my first hacker, having him in our group made quests way to easy. Hence he got kicked once the admin got what he needed for his set, I love playing online :3

More importantly why is no one discussing MHX >_<

Honestly, I'm just waiting on a western release date, if any. I haven't played any games before MH3U to know what all is being brought back, and the new skills each weapon gets isn't... well... really something to discuss IMO (or at least, there isn't much TO discuss about them).
