Is it really that hard? *Checks YouTube*

It's only hard if you fight it fairly *cough*. No, I don't do that one glitch, because that makes the fight really boring.

In other news, this.

EDIT: Updated the OP to include a MH4U section (not including links that involve guides/help/etc.).
Azure_Kite
That sounds pretty cool, having the Forest randomly determined from a set of tiles.

My wallet is ready, as soon as it is available :D

Farming Gold Rathian now... HOW MANY RUBIES AM I GONNA GET BEFORE I GET A FRIGGIN' MANTLE, ADLSFKJAS;LFJ;LASDFJ;LASKJ

Up to the Dire Miralis Urgent now. Damn it's hard to fight alone.

I ended out timing out instead of carting like I thought I would :<

REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEALLY wish I could fight that with you. It's one of my most fave fights in the game =c

played monster hunter freedom 2 really fun~~<3 monster I love to kill >>> Kashala Daora , Tigrex , Lao shan lung and forgotten more awesome monster I killed :P
Azure_Kite
Been farming materials to make a Giga Galefrost because of it's 25% Affinity and 280 Ice damage. Killed my first G Rank Glacial Agnaktor and didn't save because I was still playing and didn't wanna deal with the 2 minute savetime.

During the night the 3DS Battery dies and I don't have a Giga Galefrost anymore :<

I suppose it could have been worse though.

Just as long as it didn't involve getting a really rare material... lol.
Critical Dude
Does anyone else find this game easier to play than MHFU? Making it to G-rank in this game felt too easy :/ Every single monster is getting raped by my switch axe
And I've been solo throughout both games.
Azure_Kite
Yeah, a lot of the gameplay enhancements since MHFU have made it simpler and easier overall.

MHP3rd was harder than 3U. I miss Yukumo Village :<

In other news, I beat Dire Miralis the other day, so yay! Jumped to HR 46, so I could pretty much instantly go farm for Mizar's Asterism. Lucent Nargacuga is such joy :D

Lucent Nargacuga's eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeevil. Dem poison darts, yo...

Mega Dash Juices and Evasion +2 helps a lot. As soon as he leaps into the air to do his tail slam, prepare to dodge INTO the tail.

Dem i-Frames :p

Pfft... I don't need no Evasion =| *Gunlance mode*

In all seriousness though, having the Nargacuga set (or any (custom) set with Evade Distance & Evasion +2) with weapons that allow you to roll with it out is such a blessing, particularly on this fight.
Azure_Kite
I know right? I am starting to experiment with some more weapon types now that I've cleared through HR8.

Bows are fun
Topic Starter
NaomiMinette
Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuugh... I'd REALLY love Bows if they had something like an aiming scope similar to LBG's/HBG's... I can't stand how you aim with them as they are...
Critical Dude
It also takes really long to kill a high rank or G-rank boss enemy with bow (mainly when you play solo). The only weapons that I like (because they're easier to master) are the LS, GS, S&S, SA and the LBG. I don't like weapons that decrease the speed of your movements and make you walk (with the exception of GS obviously). The only time that I used a HBG was when I would take on the Gravios in MHFU.
I'm upset that I'll never get to try the Tonfas from MHFrontier: Generation.
Azure_Kite
Yeah, I'm mainly using the Bow to mess around with solo, since that's all I can do here with a 3DS and no MH players nearby.

Being able to deal damage from afar has it's advantages, mainly in not taking damage at all. I'm currently in the process of making myself sets of Gigginox and Nargacuga Gunner Armour. I've been able to clear that G rank 3 Gigginox quest in about 15 minutes with an upgraded Dios Bow, but that's mostly due to their reduced HP pool and less time to build up Slime resistance. After my armour sets, I'm going on a general weapon crafting spree for further experimentation. :D
Critical Dude
Oh lol:

I just wonder if all the superstitions involving it will end up being actual Skills, looooooooooooooooooooooooooooool.

That's one porker of a weapon!

Oh boy.

I can't wait to "solo kill" that beast, or rage quit. Are its thunder attacks stronger than its physical attacks.

Here's the funny thing: I actually have that LBG but never used it against A.Lagi yet. Another funny thing: I've seen another LBG user use the same weapon but never figured out what shot they were using (it looked like Normal/Pierce 2 being rapid-fired, but that LBG didn't allow those to be... well... rapid-fired). Now I know /o/
Critical Dude
All-tree-on is kill ;_; (Actually, it makes me abandon the quest a lot)
I need a good "Great Sword" or a good "Sword and Shield" with a Dragon Element.
Topic Starter
NaomiMinette
I like how the female armor looks for it. Too bad the set is hardly used. Still, I need to kill one to unlock the Hallowed Jhen Mohran quest.
Critical Dude
So I took on the All-tree-on again with the high rank Rath Soul armour, I got the tail but in the end I still got owned. ;_;

EDIT: Finally managed to defeat it, time for round two!

Added two videos to the OP
MH4U Trailer from July 11, 2014's Nintendo Direct (JP)


Mario & Link stuff in MH4U

By the way, should this thread continue to be used when MH4U comes out for the rest of us, or should I start a new one?
Critical Dude
May as well keep this thread open to MH4U discussions and more, after all it is called a "General Monster Hunter" thread so I'm guessing that you can talk about pretty much anything related to the Monster Hunter series.

Was just curious, because I thought there'd be some people who'd want a separate thread since spoilers and stuff, but I guess we could just use [spoilerbox] for that.

(Herp... I forgot to add the video you linked before to the OP.)
Critical Dude
In one of the videos you posted it looks like they finally updated the graphics for MH4U :]
Topic Starter
NaomiMinette
Eh... looks the same from MH3U, honestly. Just my opinion, though.

Which is why I am happy, if you look at the old videos of MH4 for Japan, you'll see how the graphics quality was lowered to help improve the gameplay (mainly the game physics). But it looks like the updated MH4 (MH4G and MH4U) will have better graphics.
If this message comes up with some weird symbols then blame my 3ds.
Topic Starter
NaomiMinette
There were articles saying that they had to delay the game to meet fan expectations or something, so yeah.
Azure_Kite
With more time comes in-depth optimization. It's a great thing they have it running smoothly enough to support MH3U quality again \:D/

If, by smoothly enough, you mean MH3U 3DS' framerate, then I'll be happy.

The framerate for the 3ds is often smooth, there are rare cases where there is some lag especially with the 3d turned on when fighting a high rank Brachydios or a Ratholos.
I'm more worried about what the framerate will be like when playing online because I don't want to experience lag when fighting a Savage Deviljho.

Same and it's the only monster that I'm not looking forward to fighting against

EDIT: I tried to take on the Dire Alice (downloaded version) but I ran out of time ;_;

A double post is needed:

Updated the OP.

I doubt I'll be using any of the weapons from the weapon design contests, but it's awesome to see that community-made stuff can make it into the game =o
