Welcome to the official discussion thread for Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on the Wii U!

To start, please add this game to your log, add it to your collection (if applicable), and (when you are ready) rate it using the link above!
And here we are.


THE WORLD AS YOU KNEW IT CHANGED ON MARCH 19TH

Game IS NOT Region Locked: NA + SA CAN PLAY with Europe + Australia + Africa(?)

Sorry,
Asia!


*THE DEMO IS A DEMON, JUST GET THE GAME!!*




Welcome to the Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate thread! This will be our headquarters for coordinating our Hunts, sharing stories of war, and helpful hints for our brothers-in-arms, compatriots, friends, and neighbors. Please be mindful of folks' different definitions of "spoilers," and remember that not EVERYBODY played Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii, though everybody totally should've.


The "burden" of running this thread has been placed upon me but...I can't do it alone. I will lean on Maxi and others to help with the heavy lifting occasionally, both in planning things and also in feeding this thread. Please keep it bumped (once we get going). If you could, let us know if you're getting this game, WHEN you're getting this game, and what your aspirations are so we can get us situated in groups with likeminded people. Do you want to barely play this game? Is this going to be your new #1? The most fun with this game is had when you get to go out with a group of guys week in week out, so if we can find someone with a schedule similar to yours, you'll have the most fun with it.

Knocking out Village Requests...four four-star requests down, two to go...but I did receive the urgent request to "repel" the Lagiacrus. So...not kill, just stave off? That's just silly. Must kill! Again!

@ludist210

I think Lou is on now. You guys should roll some HR3's together!
04/24/13, 01:25   
So when, if there is one, is the usual game night for this? I'd like to join. You guys can help teach me the ropes a little, unless I'd be too low leveled.
04/24/13, 01:42   
@Brick

We play on varying nights and times. D'Artagnan goes on like every night after 12. I go on (mostly) Tuesday Nights (new DLC day, so "always") and Fridays (depending). I've been playing a lot on Sundays lately, too.

Ugh, Brick, OF COURSE we'd help you. Lower Level guys can't play Upper Level Quests, so naturally we'd help elevate you so we could play some more advanced missions. I haven't seen anyone on NW (out of this group, at least) that has had a problem helping anyone out.

When are you good to play usually? If I'm not on, someone else usually is. I know that OldManFromZelda plays after he gets home from work (school), and thats about the time that I leave for work. If you haven't noticed, I've got that "Posse" thing up there (mixed results so far..) so we can plan ahead. I put that I'd be around for hours on Friday though, and I played alone most of the day, haha!! If there is a specific day and time that you want to play, and you know ahead of time, I can let you know if I'm able to help you days out. I'm solid like that.

Welcome aboard? Did you get the game yet?
04/24/13, 01:57   
@Mr_Mustache yeesh, well maybe i won't quite be moving up to 4 yet. Also, what's this weeks DLC? I think i've only done 2 or 3 of the DLC quests, haven't even done the Flooded Forest one yet. argh I SUCK.
04/24/13, 02:53   
@vinniebrock

Why do you keep saying that? Calm it down, mannn!

DLC this week is..Powderstones Delivery (3) and...oh, a Challenge Quest we can't do yet (HR6 req). We can run the FF tonight if you'd like. Always a fun time! (And I still need Lagi Horns! Your Hammer is thirsty!)

EDIT- I'll try to post on here EXACTLY when I'm going on. Should be just about 11pm EST though.

Edited: 04/24/13, 02:57
@Mr_Mustache idk, considering i haven't even really had time to Monster Hunt recently. heh.

Alright, we'll tackle the FF F-f-A tonight. I think i need some horns, too, and a Plate (ugh). I should be on around the same time, maybe even a tad earlier.
04/24/13, 03:06   
Edited: 04/24/13, 03:08
@vinniebrock

Lagi Fest? AWESOME. I need five freakin' horns. (FFFFA we should Trap everything.)
04/24/13, 03:31   
Hey guys! So, I see you're planning on playing tonight around 11 EST, right? So, in like, 12 minutes? Cuz I'll do some quests with you! Not all night; I won't do more than a couple of hunts, but I'd like to meet up with you guys and play for a while if you're up for it!
04/24/13, 05:49   
Alright! In a room w/ WW99 right now, and there are FAR TOO MANY NW'ers in Local Mode!

Come on, you animals!
04/24/13, 05:57   
Edit: nvm, i see you guys
04/24/13, 05:59   
Edited: 04/24/13, 06:00
I have tomorrow and Thursday off (although my shows come on at 9pm), so maybe I'll be able to get some time in during the day to learn the mechanics, and play with some of you guys during the night.
04/24/13, 06:06   
I need Lagi stuff too! I've got two of the five pieces of his armor crafted. Repelled him once last night, and then beat him senseless. But then Cha-Cha went AWOL...I tried to fight him again and got slaughtered, but not before wounding him pretty good! Here's hoping Cha-Cha comes back soon. I'll do easier five-stars until then.

I'll try to play online Friday night. I'd like to get my Lagiacrus Armor set done before that.

Edited: 04/24/13, 18:52
So yep...did the Volcano Tour and delivered two Powderstones (I will never, ever do this quest again). Got a couple of decent Rust Shards along the way too. Now I have another urgent...is it Cha-Cha?
04/24/13, 21:33   
I hope to be able to play tonight, haven't played online in a while...
04/24/13, 21:36   
@ludist210

Possibly. I don't know for sure. Powderstones: make sure you have full health, and juice up on Cold Drinks. You should be able to get back no problem. Did you get Strongcat?

@Brick
@ludist210
@anon_mastermind

Am I supposed to put you guys on the Posse stuff? I could potentially play tonight if you guys need help (Mikey/Brick party?).

-----

EDIT- Also, Anand (and myself and d'Artagnan) unlocked the To HR5 Urgent with tiny effort last night, relatively quickly, and he has an itchy trigger finger. I didn't advance because I said I wouldn't..sooo, hey HR4's, where you at?!

Edited: 04/25/13, 00:50
I started playing tonight, but only really did the first quest (get the Raw Meat for the Chief's Son). Is there a quick and easy way to test out the weapon types rather than going to your hut and switching them? Right now I'm using a Sword and Shield.
04/25/13, 09:24   
@Brick

You can change your weapons in your house "only." There is another "technical" way that you can do it, when you Forge a new weapon and it asks you if you want to equip it now. But nobody does that.

Sword and Shield is awesome. Maybe we can help you decide. What are you looking for? Are you a more hand-to-hand in the middle of the action kinda guy? Would you prefer to fight from afar? Which do you weight more: speed or power? Do you enjoy the ability to block?

--Saw you on MH, but when I went to check again, you had logged off. I hope you get out there with someone sometime soon!
04/25/13, 10:05   
@Mr_Mustache

I prefer melee weapons, although it's too bad you can't use two, as it'd be nice to be able to switch to a bow and fire off a couple of arrows.

I might stick with a Sword and Shield approach, otherwise I'd move to a Great Sword or Long Sword. Obviously I'd also like some nice matching armour to go with whatever setup I choose as I know certain armours are only available to certain weapon class sets.

I'll probably play some more tomorrow, say at about 10pm EST.
04/25/13, 10:31   
@Brick

Check out the Gunlance. It's exactly the way it sounds. Both a gun and a lance.
