    As someone who is pretty much a newcomer to Monster Hunter, how important is this whole table-fixing thing? It sounds pretty important. And assuming it is, what recommendations do people have for a good table for someone new to the series?

    It's important to not land on one of the 5 cursed tables, as not only will give you worse charms, but they also lock you out of some armors because you'll never get rust shards to make them.

    Outside of that, it's more of taking a hour to better your later game powerging in which table you select/get. Non-essensial, but it helps.

    I can never change it at work unfortunately, our PCs still use IE7 for some reason that is completely unknown to me and it breaks the edit button on OPs.

    It's not really all that important, but it's good to know what you're getting into. Table 10 is widely considered the best one for most people.

    Awesome, thanks for the heads-up. Excited to dive in when I get home from the office today.

    1 is jack of all stats good for absolutly everything.
    10 is great for a lot of things blademaster and even has some bow goodies.

    4 is all about lances and guarding.
    6 is the primary greatsword list.
    7 is evade like a butterfly with any weapon.
    9 is for the dedicated bowgunner.
    14 is for the switchaxe main.

    IRIC.

    It's the same game.

    It's obviously a coding bug that was never fixed. Tri loaded a new table on each load and didn't have incomplete tables like this has.

    Hi all. I double dipped at gamestop and got the wiiu and 3ds version. They gave me 2 codes for the brady guide. I only need one.

    If anyone would like the code for the second one please message me. First person to message me gets the code.

    *update

    NNID and 3DS code in my sig if you haven't added me. I'll probably be light on the playing at the moment, but should pick up over the next few weeks. Let me know if you add me on the 3DS.

    This is probably well known, but that won't stop me:
    Here in the EU, there's going to be a special Wii-U + Monster hunter combo package, but the supply is extremely limited: One of the major Retailers Fnac (think Best buy'ish) is only getting a total of 3. So if you don't have a Wii-U yet, and you like collecting poop in a Fancy European way, Get a reservation for the system!

    It's also a fairly terrible value bundle and the system is just plain black. I really see no advantage in it over getting a Premium or ZombieU pack and the game separately. Even if for some reason you really must have the controller that is just a WiiU pad minus the screen, you can buy it separately and still come out up on the deal.

    The worker guy at Best Buy had to get them out of the back and then asked me if it was the 19th. :P

    Now to decide what weapons to play, and wait for work to end.

    I'm thinking Gunlance or Longsword.... maybe. This is too much to decide at such an early stage.

    And with the Charm Table things.... ahhh my OCD!

    Do both! Longsword is more likely to annoy teammates in multiplayer though unless you're good at controlling your swings.

    Can anyone with the 3DS version comment on the camera controls? I can't see me having a easy time with the touchpad - I would have preferred shoulder buttons - maybe its configurable?

  • ElderlycrawfishElderlycrawfish Registered User regular
    Given how important the R Trigger is for pretty much everything, i don't think you could really swap it to anywhere else and not have it be even more awkward

    Well you can always try the demo. It works ok IMO. I used the L lock-on targeting more often. I don't believe it's configurable with the default shoulder buttons since they're actually bound to rather important actions (weapon abilities, item picking, etc.). If you have the CCP though, you can bind them to either left/right or up/down camera. I think up/down was how it was used in the CCP for Tri? At least when I looked for the mapping recently it was mapped to swimming up and down.

    Woo! Just bought a copy of the 3DS version!

    Still wondering about the tables. Is there a range of time where I won't get the Cursed Tables? Because I still want it to be random, but I don't want to be screwed.

    And I'm wondering if it's feasible to prepare Blademaster and Gunner equipment on one file. Because I love Switch Axes and Hunting Horns, but I've also fallen for Bows.

    I don't believe that's possible. What you can do instead is roll a D12.

    1-10 maps directly from the D12. 11 maps to 13. 12 maps to 14. Then manipulate your charm table to your D12 result.

    It's nothing like an expansion pack. There's a post a few threads back that explains it but it's really a ton of content.

    The naming system of Monster Hunter has always been like this and when it get's a G tag (This is Tri G in Japan) then it's serious business and they're going to throw content at it.

    There's more stuff in 3U than there was in Tri to begin with.

    And there's no way the charm table stuff is a bug. It would have been fixed if it were a bug.

    Guys.

    I found out that one of the face options for Male hunters is giving me the opportunity to make my hunter a grizzled old man with enormous bushy eyebrows and a beard.

    Should I go for it? Because I'm totally thinking of going for it. Provided I can make his hair white, too.

    edit: Wait! Face type 9 is younger man (but still an older man than most of the faces), but his beard is huge, and he's got scars on the side of his face!

    Which one do I choooooooose?!

    edit edit: Oh my lord. The bald version of Face 9 with a beard looks like such a badass.

    Or I could be an old man with a sweet goatee and a graying pompadour!

    Argh! I know all this is gonna be hidden by helmets before long, but I really still want him to look cool.

    Game is currently downloading as we speak. 1 hour 25 min to go, which I guess is decent for a 6 gig download.

    I forget, do you create a separate character for online, or do you take your existing singleplayer character? And what bonuses/items carry over between the two modes?

    In any case, add pols.voice to the NA list in the OP, if you please.

    Edit: Whoops, need to do it myself. But feel free to send a friend invite anyway.
