Monster Hunter 4G [West 2015]

So that means that even with Godly gear, you can't faceroll the game content if you don't pay attention?

That'S interesting

[Insanecyclone]

Gear don't mean shit if you can't back it up in a hunting game.

Unless it's like a 1 star mission or something

[Krandor]

You could always just beast thru missions well under your current rank or crap like a Great Jaggi, but the game only gets harder as you move up in ranks.

[AoE]

Your most important Stat is your weapon strength followed by your defense. Weapon determines how likely you are to beat a mission and defense allows you leeway to make mistakes. The rest is just finding clever ways to augment and/or straight up enhance your inherent skill at fighting Monsters.

Basically be skilled or get wrecked.

You could make an argument of Evasion/Evade Distance skills being more important then the armor stat for Gunners. I rocked Volvidon in 3/3U for my Gunner builds for a million years

[Voyage1970]

Really it comes down to learning attack patterns and tells. Some attacks pretty much force you to put your weapon away and superman dive to avoid them. Especially at higher ranks if you are solo a lot of fights come down to dodging until you can get 1-2 good hits in then dodging again. Armor is more about what skills they grant you instead of defense, evasion is better 99% of the time.

In the realm the best defense is a good offense, having a strong enough weapon will make it safer for you as well. Each monster limb has a Stagger limit which means once you do enough damage to that body part they will Flinch and give you about a 2-3 second opening and usually reset their pattern. Also breaking some parts will limit certain attacks as well. Ultimately it comes down to repetition and practice.

So many fucking trolls online sigh, hoping it will be better with the real game

[Krandor]

Anyone trying to troll will get sorted out by the ranking system. It's generally been easy enough to solo to the start of G rank and you won't find any real trolling there.

I mean I find people who just go in and die 3 times fast to make us lose.

Or people get out as soon as we enter ( monster stay buffed like that I think)

And good to know for the retail version

[Galois]

I've had a few instances where I start a room, we run to the monster, and then before we even engage everyone exits the game. Kind of annoying.

[Doombear]

Same but I am hoping it is just network shenanigans and it won't be like that in the final game. I am pleased to know that you have a clear indicator as to whether or not a room has a passcode in teh final game. It annoys me to no end that I have to spam every online room until I find one with no passcode, and often by the time I find one it errors because it is full.

That said, loving the demo. I really can't wait to play this on n3DS.

We should hunt sometime on the demo

[Galois]

We should get a game going when everyone is available. I'd like to try a few of the weapons and it's easier to mess around with others.

I can today till 11 pm EST if not tomorrow I can from 6-11 pm EST ( damn XIV is Down)

[Doombear]

I'm down, I'd like to see how the network holds up when I am not playing with randos. I would also like to try out some other weapons.

Also, see this? Textures looking better by twice as much on n3DS.

[Galois]

I created a room in case anyone wants to play
