    Existing character from singleplayer is used in multiplayer.

    You can bring everything with you, except your Shakalaka companions.

    ...do I go with an old man, or a slightly younger badass? If I use the old man, do I make him bald, or give him a pompadour? And wha name should I give the old man, if I choose him? "Enlong" doesn't seem too fitting...

    This is harder than I thought.

    Haircuts and color are usually changeable, if that helps you decide.

    Beards are considered part of the face though, so choose that wisely.

    Well, that helps the hair, now to decide if I want a middle-aged badass with scars, or an old man.

    Kinda leaning towards the old man, because what's cooler than a senior citizen who can swing about a sword bigger than he is and kill enormous monsters?

    ...but Face 9 has such a nice beard...

    When creating a hunter, my only prerequisite is that he be a different race than me. In MHP3rd my hunter is asian, in MHFU my hunter is black, in Tri my hunter was sorta white, except his eyes had no irises, so he was kind of a vampire race as I saw it.

    Huh, last time I tried to do it it linked to some wiki page, and I couldn't fill anything out on the list of people that already signed up. It seems to be working now, so I filled it out!

    I’ve seen things you people wouldn't believe. Barioth on fire off the shoulder of the frozen tundra. I watched Agnaktor lasers glitter in the dark near the Loc Lac Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain.

    Mostly just huntin' monsters.

    I just tore through my first Great Jaggi using a switchaxe. It wasn't remotely fair, the thing only had time to limp away to a hole once.

    It is interesting to note just how familiar I was with its attacks and how to avoid them, even years after Tri. The thing broadcasts them like crazy.

    Woo there's a PAX MH booth? This will be my first PAX trip, that makes it all the better.

    The fish charm table confirmation tool appears to be down, too many people using it. Can't get results on the Japanese end.

    Same. I did manage to confirm that I had a safe table last night, at least.

    Used the japanese table per Sporky's suggestion, looks like I'm on table 6. Not what I set the clock and whatnot for, but I'm fine with the results. I'll check again after sending out more fish.

    You can use it in Japanese, the fish are in the same order.

    Awesome! Doesn't have to specifically be MonHun freebies. Anything from PAX would be cool as hell.

    Alright. Started up. Went with an old black man, with a beard, huge eyebrows, and a graying pompadour. Named him Khanus. Looking forward to it.

    Oh, well I'm not a real "Must get Freebies!" kinda guy, so I doubt that'll happen. :P But I will try and get MonHun stuff!

    5 hours left before I can finally get my copy, this is going to be the longest five hours of my life. With this whole charm table thing, is 10 the most well rounded one over all, or is it just the best general one for melee? I'm probably going to be switching between the bow and the switch axe on a whim, is there one that's a bit more jack of all trades?

  • vamenvamen Registered User regular
    Do the 3ds and WiiU char creation options max exactly? The 3ds one felt a little more limited than I remember. Anyone tried both?

  • EnlongEnlong Registered User regular
    I imagine they should match exactly.

    If there were options in the Wii U version that aren't in the 3DS version, how would you be able to transfer a Huner from the 3DS version?

    I'm brand new to Monster Hunter, and I picked this up. Little overwhelming with all the items and info at first, but I am getting the hang of it.

    Or 3DS, which aparently has painfully small text and a bad font for small screens.

    HDTV. It's just a tiny box in the left hand side. It's not unreadable, but it is very small considering how large the screen real estate is.

    Also: Forgive me if I am sounding pompous here, but - are many people hooking their WiiU up to an SDTV?

    I haven't actually seen that movie. Is there a character named Khanus in it, or does my name choice reflect some scene where the characters discuss the right way to name characters (since the movie's about writing a book, among other things)?

    Did some Moga village stuff... pretty much like Tri so far.

    I went to the port thing, just tried the solo part. Did a ton of gathering quests to get that out of the way for a bit. Then went for the first and most easy hunt... just a Querapeco (spelling?). Sure ya... big dumb bird should be easy. Except a Rathian shows up a TON... you need a full stock of dung bombs to keep that bitch away. Sure I've done monsters WAY harder than just a Rathian... but on the very first fucking hunt? Was a bit startling. Watching the do-do bird get pelted by Rathian fireballs was fun though.

    Also I love hammer, but its fucking balls terrible against Querapeco.

    No idea I just heard about text size issues with this game and SDTVs. I'm sure someone is hooking one to their Wii U.
