Monster Hunter Tri

[BRP]

LOL, yeah that dude was consistently stupid. We did at least 5 hunts right? Well he probably owes us ten grand in reward money. (It was probably at its worse when be brought out lance on the one rathian we ended up losing(none of us can afford to die once or else Ash will try his best to beat us by dying twice). It was obviously the first time he EVER used it. The only solid thing he got to hit was me.)

EDIT: I turned down that guy's friend request as soon as he sent it to me. I wonder if you get a message like "x doesn't want to be your friend."

Thanks for coming out. Seems like the room was more for my benefit than anything else, so I appreciate it. (And speaking of lances, I love how when two charging lancers converge what usually happens is that BOTH get knocked down.)

In other news Felyne Fighter + Shadowbox + Trap = GODLIKE. However it is hard countered by teammates with hammers.

[Villian]

For a good weapon, aim with anything that has high raw and good amount of blue sharpness unless you're doing drawn crit/fast charge GS. Agnaktor claw+ sucks, you need to break all 4 legs for an 18% in break reward and only 9% in carve.

Damn I wish I saw this shit sooner. I was totally down to eat face last night. I'm only like HR16 but I totally don't suck.

AoE's a cool guy, cuts the tails and doesn't afraid of anything.

[Doombear]

Dunno AoE, our man Ash was just hellbent on impressing us. Would have been pretty hard to one up that guy!

I am only HR24 and it feels like that has come slowly as I have done quite a bit of my 140ish hours offline (& plenty of that AFK as well). I would definitely be happy to get a group together again for you & BRP. Lagia Urgent soon!

Skate 3 hits this week... so I will actually be playing something else soon. So the next cuple days are good if you guys are around in the PM.

[AoE]

I'm the only person I've seen online that actually fishes out Gobul, son! >BO

[Doombear]

Ahaha, funny you should mention that of all things. The first real indication we had that Ash was a Super Winner was that we did Gobul, even talking about fishing him out BEFORE we left the Tavern.

Ash well, he apparently found it very hard to keep himself from jumping straight in the pond after Gobul. Oddly, we were still able to fish him out. I really don't know why more people don't do it, Gobul on land is a total joke.

[zoobernut]

Where do you get the + materials?

[MisterBob]

High Rank hunts, HR31+ required, online only

[Eleven19]

Oh, I was wondering that as well.

I've got a ways to go to catch up. Only HR11 lol. I decided to get the full barroth set of equip for now and added med jewls to couple with some random talisman to get a rec level up as well.

Its still hard to let go of my ludroth armor + gigginox waist with constitution+1 and divine blessing. Added attack(s) via jewls to that, too.

Switch Axe still my baby. The up and down slashes make it a lot easier than the other 2-handers I've played to not hit my teammates.

[Doombear]

Ya know... i have Lagiacrus, Rathalos, Barroth, Barioth, and a couple other sets... and I really agree with some of the elitists out there that largely armor doesn't matter. For me though, I get greedy and therefore get hit more than I should.

It tends to come down to element resistance for me lately. Love Evade +2 on Barioth for monsters that can easily combo me, but -20 Fire on it isn't so fun for The Rath Family Fireballs. I like to use Lagiacrus for anything where I will be underwater for longer than not, for the swimming speed.

I hate being an aesthetically driven person... is that armor useful? Definitely. Is it ugly as shit? Well then, pass.

Exactly my problem lol.

[Insanecyclone]

hr31 now

[zoobernut]

High Rank hunts, HR31+ required, online only

Well that sucks. I guess I am pretty close to being done upgrading my lance then until I get my ass online.

[Doombear]

I don't feel too much of a rush, the online crowd is gonna be pretty damn strong I think until MHP3 comes out. Other than last night where I at least knew that Insane and BRP knew what the shit... I just would rather spend my time soloing for materials for my armor/weapons and once I actually have the gear then go online for points.

[zoobernut]

Well I am not going to play online really much with randoms. I have four buddies here that I work with that all got the game at the same time as me so eventually we will all start online together. We just have to organize it.

But yeah I am going to get as far as I can solo offline and not worry about it too much. Currently I just got Spiral Lance last night and I wanted to turn it into Toxic Javelin eventually which is why I asked about the + materials. I think I will also upgrade a long sword as soon as I have that weapon unlocked. Or maybe another lance on a different path.

[BRP]

Though I will probably get a PSP this year (finally), I really doubt I am going to play another Monster Hunter game from the start. If they make expansions for Tri then that will be cool.

Right now I am farming Barioth offline so I can make his ice-elemented spear. Heard that was good against Diablos and Uragaan(w/e). He's a real son of a bitch, I am bringing materials to make additional traps so I can just wallop on him.

[Doombear]

Barioth made me absolutely love Evasion +15 (gets you Evade+2) as it lets you roll through a lot of his annoying as hell spasmic moves. I don't know how much that would help a Lancer though, eh?

But yeah, I think I just gemmed up a Peco set for Evade+2 and usually Pitfalled him right away for the Subquest then broke a wing for the 2nd subquest. Then I would go back to camp and grab the Pitfall Trap THAT gives you and then work on his fangs and other wing.

I had read that breaking both wings makes him slip around, but I am not sure I saw it.

[Kais]

breaking both wings makes him rise slowly after lunging
And yeah, evasion can help with sidesteps

[Eleven19]

This is probably a dumb question that I should know by now, but why does the MH wiki show every weapon with two sharpness meters? One that's always a little longer.

[Insanecyclone]

Sharpness+1 skill improves on the sharpness
