    I've read abit on the forums and it seems raw damage is always better than elemental. I assume its because some monsters have resist to certain elements but raw damage doesn't reduced by anything? But then you have a case of certain monsters being weak to an element which in that case i assume it would be better than simply raw.

    Aren't phials related to the Charge Blade? Not to sure on that one

    Also you know you can refund materials on weapons? So you don't have to make one of each upgrade type, you can just refund and re-upgrade down a different path. More hassle that way i suppose, or unless you'r the kind of player that likes to build abit of a collection

    Well i was just gonna do a switcheroo, but then i said **** it, i have an over abundance of the lower tier mats and it would be good to have two different types in case i came across a heavy fire resistance monster. So the only thing im really hurting in doing it is my cash balance.

    But when i was building the Flammenbeil it said in yellow brackets that i wouldnt get my mats back for downgrading it. It appears the downgrading weapons is only useful for the first few tiers.

    Anyway, i decided to test the Flammenbeil on a bounty, it was to kill the Jagras, pukei pukei and giant chicken thing, i killed every single one of them where they stood, the damage it done was INSANE. No chasing just tearing them up to death within a minute, either all three are very weak to fire or the base damage this thing does is off the muja fujin chain!

    Not always. It depends on the weapon. A general rule of thumb over the years is that element is more important on the more speedy weapons (dual blades, sword and shield, long sword) and raw damage is better on the slower weapons, particularly the great sword. Over the years that's been balanced so element on any weapon is pretty much almost as important as raw, with the great sword possible being the exception again.

    All monsters have different weaknesses and strengths against all the elements. Best way in game to see is look at it's armour in the smithy and look at its resistance values to the elements.

    Thanks again. Nice to have a pro hunter on boards. In regards to monster weaknesses there is a handy in game hunters notes that reveals monster traits the more you hunt them.

    One question is about well done steak and EZ rations. If I eat one steak it's the same as two rations. Why? Haha. Ill just eat the rations every time from now on since they are free.

    Oh and the problem I was having earlier with the optional quest was because I didn't capture a Tobi Kadachi. After the capture I unlocked an arena quest to fight him. Happy now :)

    Speaking of, I cant seem to bust out the portable spit roast anymore, always has a red X on it in the spatial, i have rations on me, do i need something else to cook?

    Also, how do you "capture" your prey? I keep seeing missions to do capture, but havent figured out how to do it yet :(

    Pro? Geez no way. You just know a thing or two when your hunt count exceeds 5 figures :) Rations are only meant as basic stamina recovery items, they recover the same as a cooked steak. Well done steak is the best, so it's one of those items you should always carry with you.

    Here's a rough list of what I always carry, though some of these items (if available in World that is) aren't obtainable/craftable early game. All items have different stack sizes, e.g Pots and Mega Pots have 10 each whereas Max Pots only have 2, and each trap only 1.

    • Potions
    • MegaPotions
    • Max Potions
    • Lifepowders
    • Well Done Steak
    • Tranq Bombs
    • Pitfall Trap
    • Shock Trap
    • Dung Bombs
    • Mega Pick Axe
    • Mega Bug Net
    • Whetstone (if you're a blademaster, gunners need many different items)

    ^^ Again I'm assuming all these items return in World, which I have no reason to believe they haven't. Obviously that's just a general list, some hunts and quests may require other items.

    Can't cook rations, only raw meat you carve/get from rewards. You can burn the meat, as well as finish cooking it too soon. Takes a little while to get the hang of perfecting a well done steak but it's not too hard. Just timing. -> again I'm assuming the mechanics are same as past games.

    As for capturing, see my earlier post:

    Is it just me or when posting a quest nobody ever joins in?

    Maybe I smell.

    I’d like to team up, partly as I suck but a bit of craic etc.

    I’m only lvl or MR 4 at the minute and they want me to fight Anjanath!!!!

    He’s one big ****

    Or SoS’s for that matter

    Ok so two people joined and 10 minutes later someone cancelled the SoS just before we (cough) they were going to kill him! Argh.

    Just hit high rank. Have been using low rarity armour for most of the game so I was gonna farm some parts from the bigger monsters, only to discover now that there is high rank varients of most the armour sets haha. Lucky I didn't grind out the parts for the low rank sets.

    That whole mechanism where people can join in is new. Before there were online rooms where people joined and ye embarked on a quest together. The 50 minute time limit has been part of the game since the original MH. If you're getting anywhere near the time limit for normal quests, then that may be a sign that you need a more powerful weapon. It's good practice as well not to just have one weapon, have weapons with different elements. Of course now with World you can reclaim parts from a weapon which is brand new.

    Nice. Generally higher ranked armours are better than their lower rank equivalents. Not always though, it depends entirely on the skills the armours come with and what your personal preference for armour skills are.

    The only thing I'm disappointed in with World is that there's no G-Rank. The step from Low Rank to High Rank is nowhere near as terrifying as from High to G.

    Has anyone fought Kirin yet (if it's available)? If you haven't, be prepared for your weapons to constantly bounce off of its hide :D

    Cool fair play.

    I have a mate of mine starting the game this evening as well who’ll catch up very quickly.

    I got the SoS to work a couple of times last night in fairness. It’s just when it cuts off it’s a pain as the quest fails. I don’t know what causes it. Someone leaves the party maybe?

    Not surprising, this seems to have gotten way more press and publicity than previous releases. If i'm completely honest I never heard of the franchise before E3 last year.

    You hadn’t heard of it. Really? Sorry I don’t meant to be rude, I’m just surprised.

    I never got into them before now but I knew how beloved the franchise was/is. It has a huge following.

    I always wanted to give them a go but always had something else to play at the time

    I'm the same as murphy, knew they existed and they were tough but never took the plunge until now. I saw them in the same light/praise as the souls games while on the outside looking in..

    Anyway im fully kitted out in Anjanath armour (fully upgraded) and the Weapon Flammenbeil, ready to take on level 5 quest, lol, i think i may have spent too much time farming in these early levels :D

    It’s a really huge franchise though in name terms alone I’d say it’s right up there.

    But again I don’t mean to be rude in someone not having heard of it.

    To be fair if someone asked me what’s in the “pop” charts in music i wouldn’t have a notion which some people find appalling.

    Yeah just never popped up non my radar before and seems to have been mainly on platforms I didn't own or care about bar the PS2?

    I do love the look of this though, only thing holding me off buying it is it looks a bit like destiny in terms of the repetition involved. I put a lot of time into destiny but I'm not sure I want to end up that addicted to a game again :o

    I was right there with you on Destiny 1 buzz with over 400 hours logged, although about 100 hours into Destiny 2 it kinda just lost its appeal unfortunately.

    Monster Hunter might just scratch that itch though. It’s rare enough that I’d find myself 11 or so hours into a game in such a short period of time. Only thing I can compare it to in that regard is destiny.

    It has similarities. Go to hub world pick up bounties, do stuff with gear and go out using upgraded stuff, solo or in a team take down a big boss/monster to get better stuff.

    Damn. Now I want to be playing it again!!

    Just fought a killed a Pink Rathian. Mother of god that took alot out of me. Used every gadget and buff in my arsenal to take her down, dash potions, armour options, attack options, traps, bombs, you name it. Epic fight which I came close to dying multiple times on my last feint. Should have checked the time length afterwards.

    First boss where my weapon seemed to bounce off most of her body.

    Fair play. How many hours are you in to this out of curiosity?

    I only played a bit last night. But it think I’m about 15 hours in now.

    It really has that just one more monster thing going on. Before ya know it it’s midnight!!

    41 hours, which is about 5 hours per day since launch. Jesus I have been nolifing it. I read people have finished the game in less hours than that, and it doesn't feel like I'm near the end. I'm doing every mission I can. At first I did alot of Jagras and slaying investigations trying to clear them all until I realised they are almost like infinite quests. I have also killed atleast one of each monster so far and captured atleast one. No rush...

    I've about the same time played, best game I've played in a long time.
    I'm a bit further on though as I haven't bothered with each quest and just moved on to the higher levels when available.
    Just past Nergigante now and I've been farming him but I've had plenty of failed attempts. He has an attack that one hit kills and it also has a massive hitbox. Enjoy.

    is it fun single player? I don't really want to get it if it's one of those "best played in groups" games as my time is too sporadic for that and I just want games I can plug in and play and enjoy without others. The self-checkout of video games, if you will.

    If you're playing solo, the game automatically scales the monsters' health to be lower, whereas if you're playing with others it raises its health. I can't remember exactly how much its raised/lowered but other than that there's no real difference between solo and with others, not that I can recall anyway. It's usually just easier and quicker killing a monster with 4 players online rather than just yourself, particularly Elder Dragons and High Rank quests.

    So what weapon/armour/charms is everybody rocking?

    I cant seem to drop the switch axe, it just has so much variation in its attacks and it just seems the most devastating. I tried the long sword last night, the lightning variant on the arena Anjanath, great move set but just lacking damage wise compared to the switch. I'm up for recommendations as id like another go to weapon to mix it up..might go back to the glaive..

    Charms, i havent looked into much, just picked up the Attack charm I, not sure what would be better, attack is always good :)

    Armour wise im rocking the full Anjanath armour set, fully upgraded, i can take a beating before needing to heal, so far anyway. I think im over geared for the level quests im doing, im only on level 4, currently kicking it and just moved into the coral highlands..

    It multiplies the monster's health by about 2.6 times when you play in multiplayer.

    When fighting Nergigante I found it was much easier to kill him solo seeing as most of the multiplayer attempts ended in failure due to people dying. Palicos and Grimalkynes are a big help too when going solo.

    .

    I've been switching between the Heavybow and the gunlance. The ammo mechanic of the lance is lots of fun. Tried the longsword and found it spamming. It's a case of do this combo to build meter, then this one to use meter, then this one for ultimate move. Super boring. Also tested the Short sword, it's great fun with lots of variation in combos and how and when to use them and it has blunt and slash damage. For sure gonna use it more once I get mats for a good upgrade.

    I was excited about the Charge blade before the game came out and planned to use it, But once the beta released and it revealed how overpowered it was I steered well clear. Tend to avoid game breaking stuff and just stick with what's fun. The extra difficulty is just icing on the cake

    I cant seem to drop the switch axe, it just has so much variation in its attacks and it just seems the most devastating. I tried the long sword last night, the lightning variant on the arena Anjanath, great move set but just lacking damage wise compared to the switch. I'm up for recommendations as id like another go to weapon to mix it up..might go back to the glaive..

    Charms, i havent looked into much, just picked up the Attack charm I, not sure what would be better, attack is always good :)

    Armour wise im rocking the full Anjanath armour set, fully upgraded, i can take a beating before needing to heal, so far anyway. I think im over geared for the level quests im doing, im only on level 4, currently kicking it and just moved into the coral highlands..

    I don't even have charms yet >< About when did you get your first? I've my Anjanath urgent tomorrow (I say tomorrow cos I've played too much today XD)and I haven't seen a hint of a charm yet. I must say the whole charm/armour skill setup is much easier now than it used to be. Going forward I'll be using mixed sets because of this, so much easier.

    GIMME CHARMS GOSH DARNIT!

    My weapon philosophy is to use a single type of weapon (always start with LS as I find it easiest and quickest for solo hunts) up until I've reached high rank and am rich with materials. Then I expand out to hammer/lance/gunlance/SA/bow.

    As well as Anjanath tomorrow I have the egg quest to increase my canteen quality... I HATE EGG QUESTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Right now it's just herbivore eggs, so at least I won't have a frickin' Rathian chasing after me!

    The Rathian egg quest is lots of fun. Lots of sliding in the ancient forest. The herbivore one you can just equip the ghillie mantle and you won't be attacked

    I prefer to sit back and let them settle their differences themselves.

    Oh yeah didn't even think of that. I've used it only once thus far when I was fighting Tobi Kadachi and Anjanath popped up to say hello. Crawled right under the b*st*rd while following TK :D

    Seems I missed a bunch of sub quests by not doing expeditions. Going back over low rank expeditions to get them. One important one is extra gadgets for Palicos. Search for doodles then when you get to tracking them you can pin them by clicking on them in the map screen.

    I'm EXTREMELY jealous. Nicest special edition yet by far.

    Not to be a dick or anything, but in my opinion, its not the greatest looking special edition. It would look so much better in white. Pink controller kind of out of place all together.

    Still, not too take away from a lovely new toy like ps4 pro. I hope they will enjoy it!

    The controller is a deep red, lighting is doing it no favours.

    Things you have started to track appear on the bottom left of the map as icons with track bars. R3 to pin to for tracking.

    Just did the Coral highlands and there doesn't appear to be any Palicos tribes there

    I was think it was dark red alright.

    I don't watch unboxing very much but this I did.

    Again, jealous.
