I forgot to say that I'll be busy all weekend but I have filled in the google document in the "Nintendo 3DS Club" thread.

Longer for me due to bundle being delivered to my house (I had no choice; I would've picked it up at my local GameStop otherwise).
Ciunek
Only one more week, the wait is killing me.
Played demo too much but at least I can hunt gore magalas in my sleep now.

To anyone getting a n3DS/n3DS XL (including the MH4U special edition bundle) AND will be system transferring, please read this!

EDIT: You can get a free starter pack after you patch the game.

It's heeeeeere and IT IS AWESOME.
Just finished first Village Urgent, monster has some potential to roflstomp newbies.

So next-screen-border kills are still apparently a thing... ._.

EDIT: Really now...
Why in the world would they script Gore Magala to casually go in front of the Dragonator? I could understand if it was in the same fashion as Jhen Mohran...
Ciunek
Probably because it was kind of a tutorial battle. Village quests seem to be filled with those. Still, it was quite stupid.
spoiler
That vid where Ace Hunters rammed Gore with the ship was 10/10 though.

So far I'm really enjoying the Insect Glaive, I'm gonna be maining the Switch Axe and that, I think. I really appreciate the extra mobility it allows you, and jumping over a leaping Congalala is freaking badass.

^ This. I honestly was caught off-guard when this happened.
Azure_Kite
Gore Magala is a darling little thing. The Frenzy Virus is it's own demise :D

I absolutely loved the Mewonster Hunters mini-game. Sure it was really simple (rock-paper-scissors), but it was so adorable xD
Gumpy
Wish it would come to more consoles.

Jeez... As if Baleful Gigginox wasn't enough, apparently it had an offspring with the Rath family...
Ciunek
I hope I never have to fight Khezus again. On the other hand, got access to Urgent marked with 7* now, finally getting my old GS consistency back too and don't cart anymore \o/

Holy crap, you're fast... or have you been skipping the non-key quests?
Ciunek
Nope, pretty much doing anything (skipped 3 or 4 quests, doing them right now, turns out they upgade caravan) but I'm a NEET right now so just played the game too much. I didn't touch any Guild quests though, waiting for friend to get his copy.
Also good luck on last egg quest... took me around 35 minutes.

Oh fun...

So far I'm on HR5 caravan quests and HR2 for the gathering hall. I've gone on a few expeditions and the like, but I wonder when I'll see anything OTHER than Velocidrome and Yian Kut-Ku in Guild quests.

At the moment I'm using Nerscylla Blademaster gear with Sharpening and a Hunger jewel to slot out the debuff. I've got a Stealth Glaive+ Insect Glaive. I'm half-tempted to farm Gore Magala for a while to get his IG and perhaps armour, but I'm really not sure I can be stuffed.

I'm basically where you are right now, except I've been grinding Rathalos (OH BOY, RE-EXPERIENCING THE JOY THAT IS THE PLATE). I want to move on, but I at least want sets for four of the five elements. Sure, I have to redo it again when I hit High and G Rank, but I haven't really made any other armor sets, so... (And I most certainly do NOT wanna fight the first "endgame" boss with nooby gear.)
Azure_Kite
Just had an "Aw yeah" moment when I cleared the Frenzied Tigrex mission without once getting infected. \:D/

Shagaru quest, plate in rewards
I think my luck ran off for this month, gonna have fun with rubies/heavenlies.

Gimme some of your luck D= Anyway, anyone tried doing this yet? (Video isn't mine, btw.)

Azure_Kite
No! But that is amazing.

NaomiMinette
I just love how I can get tails now just from capturing.

EDIT: Note to self: don't place a Barrel Bomb L+ when one of your Palicoes is in mid-attack...

EDIT 2: Still can't really find a monster that tops this one for me
(via in-game screenshot)



Zinogre is life~ Zinogre is love~
Ciunek
Zinogre is my fav since the moment I fought him in p3rd first time, he's even more fun here. Never had problems with his (or about anything's) tails since it's basically my main job as GS. Also lol at that hunter tennis, it'll be fun launching people in the air or possibly on monsters' backs.
Also unlocked 8* now, finally got my first white sharpness too, so far blue was good enough though. Now I have to upgrade more swords, possibly elementals and focus on clearing everything.

Seriously though, do you play nonstop?!
Ciunek
I think I clocked 40+ hours by now so yeah, I suppose so :P Got nothing much to do either way and quests take between 10 and 20 minutes most of time.
Topic Starter
NaomiMinette
I don't even have 30... lol.

Anyway, we all need to play together at one point. I know it's still kinda early to ask this, so maybe in like one more week or so?
Ciunek
One week sounds pretty good, but I might not have anything good unlocked in online mode. I'd be hunting online already if my friend had his new 3ds/game... for some reason shipping stuff to Panama takes forever, ETA for that is around one week as well.

So I just beat Tigrex... I feel sorry for any newcomers who haven't gotten used to the mechanics yet.
Azure_Kite
I know I'm not exactly a newcomer, but as long as you're prepared (it's a pseudo urgent quest, why wouldn't you be) you're not going to really run into any hassles. I like that the first Tigrex you take out (storyline-wise) is made to be one of the "harder" ones.

I say "harder" because I feel as if the frenzy virus is more a veiled buff than anything to be particularly concerned about. If you're doing your job as a hunter (dealing damage) you should never need to worry about the frenzy virus because it will be converted to the buff before you get anywhere near the debuff state. The fact that Nulberries reduce the Viral gauge by about 50% also helps ensure you are in the clear.

Which is probably why he was made to be viral in the first place.
Ciunek
For some reason few Frienzed monsters feel easier than regular ones. Khezu was giving me way more breathing space for example. Also pretty much what Azure said, if you can play well and score enough hits you get nice affinity (crit chance) buff.

Just now finished the final egg quest... Never again (unless it's also an online one)...
Critical Dude
Sorry for my inactivity but, this game...
So much time put into it from the day it came out >_<

I'm already on G-Rank 1
Topic Starter
NaomiMinette
I would've been that far if drop rates weren't so discouraging...
Ciunek
Desire Sensor at its finest... I've played bit online, but only unlocked HR3 with some people I know - for now. I really need to craft a better set, probably going to mix some armors for Sharpness+1 and Focus for now, 9* Village hurts a bit and I need my faster charging times.
Topic Starter

So... turns out there's one more Egg Delivery Quest at 10*, and it unlocks Fatty urgent
Easy as hell though, both of those.

Whoops, forgot to post about this: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/03/monster_hunter_4_ultimate_free_dlc_including_link_equipment_due_6th_march

Also, playing with randoms is a very bad idea when you're trying to do your Urgent ._.
