Hellfire Posted August 27, 2010 Posted August 27, 2010 Lagiacrus blade (and eventually its upgrades) for a Thn weapon yay or nay? High Chief's GS has 3 slots and all, but it's an evolutionary dead end. Also wanna make a new armor while I don't have the materials for Rathian set, thinking of Lagiacrus or Barioth, what suggest you?

I suggest Barioth, anytime you then go to the Tundra or the Sandy Plains (at night) use that because you'll not need hot drinks and having the Evasion skill is awesome!
RedShell Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 MEGABUMP. This clashed with WarioWare: D.I.Y. back when it came out, so it went on my "to buy" list. But I finally picked it up today after welsh_gamer's tip-off in the bargain thread. A tenner from Argos!! :awesome: Just finished playing for the first time, found it pretty confusing to be honest. Sooooo much stuff going on! Loving that there are funny cat characters in this though. And a nappy wearing pig. But yeah, I think it's going to take me quite a while to get to grips with this one. Hopefully there's still some life left in the online aspect. I know that darksnowman has also picked this up though, so that's cool.
flameboy Posted February 16, 2011 Author Posted February 16, 2011 I just wanna post this in here, already posted it in general bargains: Well I'm putting this out there if anyone has a store that has more than one copy of tri please pick it up for me and I will pay for it and postage etc...
darksnowman Posted February 16, 2011 Posted February 16, 2011 I also bought MH Tri today after reading in the bargain board about it being a tenner in Argos. Graphically, its really good. The scenery, the animation and the night sky has all looked great. What didn't look great was the burnt meat I roasted but I still ate it. Character creation was fun in a cringey sort of way. The clothes are pure Mr Gay UK. Just finished playing for the first time, found it pretty confusing to be honest. Sooooo much stuff going on! Loving that there are funny cat characters in this though. And a nappy wearing pig. But yeah, I think it's going to take me quite a while to get to grips with this one. I've just done up until the point where you bring back the 30 resource points to repair the village. Its hurting my brain but I'll get used to it as I get to spend more time with it. I tried to carve the Jaggi's but the option didn't come up. I realised when going back to the village that you can only carve when you sheath your sword. Must remember that in future. The cat is great, haha. Knew you'd love it! Hopefully there's still some life left in the online aspect. I know that darksnowman has also picked this up though, so that's cool. Yeah, I'll definitely want to try it out. Dunno how much of the game I should play solo before going online though.
nekunando Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 RedShell.. darksnowman.. from Wii Music compositions to Goldeneye 007 deathmatches to this..? When did we become so hardcore?
RedShell Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 What didn't look great was the burnt meat I roasted but I still ate it.Hehehe! I did that too. Why the hell does it remove stamina though? It's still food! Character creation was fun in a cringey sort of way. The clothes are pure Mr Gay UK. The character creation thing wasn't as in-depth as I was expecting it to be, and yeah the initial clothing options are terrible. Probably doesn't help that we've been spoilt with DQIX and its awesome collection of wardrobe items. I realised when going back to the village that you can only carve when you sheath your sword. Must remember that in future.That confused me at first too, seems really weird that you have to put away your weapon, only to take it out again to carve. Yeah, I'll definitely want to try it out. Dunno how much of the game I should play solo before going online though. I'm guessing a few hours should be enough, I'd like to get a bit more confident with the controls first really.I started playing with the Wii Remote + Nunchuck combo and it was messy. Switched to the Classic Controller though and that definitely made things easier, still not very good at swimming though. RedShell.. darksnowman.. from Wii Music compositions to Goldeneye 007 deathmatches to this..? When did we become so hardcore? LOL. Yeah, what's going on? Wait a second- You're a new Monster Hunter too!? Good times! Now we just need flameboy to secure a copy and we'll have our N-E MH noob tribe ready to roll. :awesome:
lostmario Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Sounds like I need to bring my 450+ hours 150+ level character out of retirement and help you guys settle in online. Will you be online this weekend??
killer kirby Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 Sounds like I need to bring my 450+ hours 150+ level character out of retirement and help you guys settle in online. Will you be online this weekend?? Thats a bit overkill isn't it? I mean no offence, but the greatest pleasure of starting the game was doing all the hunts with hunters on the same lvl as me with low ranking equipment and everything. It made it fun for 4 new beginners to find out how to kill a certain monster. Rather then having one high ranking hunter just easily killing monsters one after another letting the others do practically no work.

I think Losty is more aiming to become the Laughing Old Japanese Fat Guy standing in the back, watching the eager rookies do all the work:grin: Good luck with that Redshell:laughing:

Give them tips etc
Hellfire Posted February 17, 2011 Posted February 17, 2011 I havent' played in aaaages, I'm not as strong as some of the guys here, but I'd be happy to help out when I can Need to get back in the game, still have so much to do!
daftada Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 If anyone's playing on friday night i'd be up for some online action. I'm only a few hours into it and haven't had much chance to try an online battle.

Rather then having one high ranking hunter just easily killing monsters one after another letting the others do practically no work. I agree. It's much more fun playing with other guys that share your level...so you just might want to use the Rookie (?) servers, for they are limited to those under HR30 That's what I did, and had a great time learning to play with other beginners Yeah, I'll definitely want to try it out. Dunno how much of the game I should play solo before going online though. Well, just get used to the basics first, like mining, gathering materials, making armours, trapping and capturing etc. Found in Level 2 quests...however, you learn by doing anyway, so might as well jump into the online earlier. Anyway, happy to see so many people pick this game up at last. After 380 hours, I can tell you...you're in for an awesome ride. So many good memories...makes me want to start a new char, or at least finish my collections

Ville Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I have 2 other profiles on MHTri It's fun knowing a lot and going into battle with low ranking fighters while you are also with the same standards of armour and weapon's Nice... Might just try that for fun...would also be nice to see what the female armours look like
Kav Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 I find it fun going in to low rank hunts without any armor on at all, it makes sure that you stay on your toes and dodge well, striking only when you can certainly land a hit. It sure is fun!
darksnowman Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 My inventory is full but one spot. I dunno what to do with the stuff I have. Sell? I'm about to do the first quest (mushroom hunting) and wanna clear some space for new pick ups. I thought I bought a piece of chest armour but I can't figure how to equip it. When I go into the menu there is nothing but when I go to the shop it says I own one. Help!

darksnowman Posted February 18, 2011 Posted February 18, 2011 There is a box which allows you to store the stuff in your bag Think Resident Evil xD Ah ha, a chest in the bedroom! Allows me to equip gear as well as store items. Onwards!
RedShell Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Ah ha, a chest in the bedroom! Allows me to equip gear as well as store items. Onwards!That got me for a while too, this game has some seriously bizarre menu/game-play mechanics. While I remember, I've got a question for all the MH experts on here... What's with the yellow question mark area in the cat cave, where you can search for something, but don't find anything?
Ville Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 What's with the yellow question mark area in the cat cave, where you can search for something, but don't find anything? Good question, have been wondering that myself! Apparently, should your items get stolen by the cat-like Melynxes, that's where you can get them back Still learning new stuff about this game... xD
darksnowman Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 That got me for a while too, this game has some seriously bizarre menu/game-play mechanics. Tell me about it. Its far from second nature to me... hopefully it'll click for me soon. Good question, have been wondering that myself! Apparently, should your items get stolen by the cat-like Melynxes, that's where you can get them back I was having a nosey around that cave area last night and one of those cats stole something off me. I was gonna leave the thing in peace, being a cat lover and all, but when the stealing message flashed up I unsheathed my sword and beat it to a pulp.
Ville Posted February 19, 2011 Posted February 19, 2011 Tell me about it. Its far from second nature to me... hopefully it'll click for me soon. Don't worry, your muscle memory will start to take care of things after a awhile...I can't really remember what button does what, but my fingers just automatically browse through everything but when the stealing message flashed up I unsheathed my sword and beat it to a pulp. Yeah, that's what I do as well...I mean pestering I can still tolerate, but stealing...now that's just being a douchebag! At that point I just drop everything else and start whipping Melynx canister until justice has been served
RedShell Posted February 20, 2011 Posted February 20, 2011 Good question, have been wondering that myself! Apparently, should your items get stolen by the cat-like Melynxes, that's where you can get them back Still learning new stuff about this game... xD Cheers.I only ever had something stolen once, (before I realsied there were different types of cat-like creatures) I encountered the passive ones before the thieving ones . I was having a nosey around that cave area last night and one of those cats stole something off me. I was gonna leave the thing in peace, being a cat lover and all, but when the stealing message flashed up I unsheathed my sword and beat it to a pulp.Yeah, I killed the one that stole from me too, but it just felt really wrong. I can't hurt a cat, even if it's being a ****. Anyway, I've now got little acorn dude following me around, I love all these odd characters in this game. Before playing MH I got the impression that it was all kind of serious, so it's been really nice to discover that there's a lot of silly stuff and humour in it too.
