Does anyone know if there are quirky things to know about similar to the 3U charm tables? Where your first unknowing step can screw you if you want certain things?

Also got my new 3ds MH bundle on preorder

I gotta say I am excited about this. I played(and still own) MH on my ps2 and had a tough time getting into it but with 3U I sunk 230 hours into it. It also broke my L and R buttons =/ I am so looking forward to not having those underwater fights.

I still remember last year when I first started hunting Stygian Zingore. First fight timed out, second time beat with 15 seconds left. Third time shaved 10 minutes off and another 5 on the forth. There is so much satisfaction in this series when you finally *click* and can manage to defeat something that will destroy you in seconds if you get sloppy. No other game has given me the sense of accomplishment that MH3U has.

Charm-table is set every time you start up the file.

My favorite thing is watching a streamer start to cook meat in the middle of a tough fight.

Dudes getting chomped and fireballed in the background, the sky is falling, rocks are flying.

And he's cooking meat.

After I "got" the Charge Blade it became a lot better to use but I still think I like the Insect Glaive better.

@TimFiji Added to OP. I think it's a better way to keep lists than players having to wait for me to add their name to the OP.

Edit: also sorry I didn't play 3u last night. I got into the demo to test something out and ended up playing that all evening.

Hey guys, I apologize for doing it this way, but ONE of these two codes should still be free:

A071DCS828P91WC3
A0716E9G05P55N5W

Whoever snags it, please let me know so that I can update this post and not be the cause of any more broken dreams...

Okay. I'm beginning to hate how Tetsucabra falls down - it rolls back and away from you a good distance. So any combo attack you were about to get big damage on? Complete whiff, and then its up before you can get to it and hurt it.

Yeah, it's a real problem with the charge blade. Against Gore Magala I do a lot of RX-A-R for easy phial attacks, but it's completely useless against Tetsucabra because it flies away on the first hit almost every time, and then by the time you put away the axe and catch up it rolls away again to stand up. My clear times improved when I started using the level three charge more (fewer intermediary hits), but I still waste a lot of time playing around with the sword waiting for him to get his trip out of the way.

Mmm.

Yep. That Charge into a jump attack is really pretty great.

Oh, wow. I thought it was "either/or", not "reverse/add".

IceBurner

More people need to know about the [ codes] [ /codes] BBcode for giving away 1-use codes.

Also, the Charm table bug inherited from P3rd and made worse in 3U is not in MH4. It works like it should again, with each character cycling through the tables.

Vyolynce

I did okay as a blademaster on a decidedly gunner-focused table. Mostly because I found a large Psychic charm early on (and later an even larger one) and fell in love with Autotracker so hard that I didn't even miss losing access to decent Handicraft bonuses.

Seidkona

The problem isn't lurkers getting codes. It's bots sucking them up.

Damn. Also, I can't wait to hear that Tigrex battle theme again. It's up there with the Deviljho theme for "now it's serious business time".

IceBurner

Anyone still on the fence about new3DS vs original: there's some evidence that not only is the frame rate more solid and the colors more vibrant on new3DS, but some textures are far more detailed, and dynamic shadows for hunters and monsters are much sharper. Found the screen URLs in some random person's question in one of the little side discussions on GaijinHunter:




I really want the regular new3DS to be released in North America . It's seeming more and more to be like the GameBoy Color with the 3DS as GameBoy. While it's probably not literally two games in one (GBC-enhanced games had separate GB and GBC game ROMs in the same Game Pak), the enhancements seems to be on the same level.

Beefjerky

What is the best way to give out demo codes here? The wife got a set and so did I.

Renzo

Well damn, I'd read that the n3DS ran MH4 at close to 60fps, and that was almost enough to get me to switch. This might push me over the edge.

Remove the spaces and put each code on a separate line.

Thanks so much! I used the first one and it worked without a hitch!

Last night I had some good Freehunts. Apparently if the Moga Forecast has only one monster, you're only getting one monster. Both one-monster hunts ended pretty quick whereas both my two-monster forecasts got drawn out into five-monster longplays.

EDIT: Also added my name to the Friend Code list. 1779-2336-5317

IceBurner

Moga Forecast only foretells the initial free hunt conditions. You're not guaranteed to get more large monsters, but they are pretty frequent. Sometimes you do have to wait for several minutes after the initial large monsters bodies despawn, however.

Seidkona

It's dependent on if it says Abundant Commodities on the bottom. If it says that more monsters will spawn.

IceBurner

What? Abundant commodities means more sparkly spots with possible trade commodities will appear. There's usually 2-3 initially (check area 6, the Jaggi nest right off), with several more appearing over time. Other possible spots include a few spots in area 4 (the cave), area 8 (the flying wyvern nest), area 10 (underwater) and area 11 (near the aquatic nest).

It's also tied into how likely the monsters are to spawn. Abundant means that you're guaranteed more monsters after the ones on the list are done.

Renzo

What's the farm system like in MH4U? I haven't seen info on that yet.

I don't believe there is one.

Seidkona

There is it's just all done through an npc and there's not a physical farm anymore.

It works the same as the MH3U farm though as you give the trader an item and a booster, if you have one, and they'll duplicate it.

Here's our extras, not sure if it matters but I'm in Canada

Does Chaos Magala-armour do anything with Frenzy?

Does it also use resources like MH3U?

The Wyverian Wholesaler replaces Granny Go-To, Junior, the Farm, and the non-travel options of Neko (Means "Cat"), all in one. You spend Caravan points for all of the above functions. The "Farm" function is dressed up as you trading with villages from past MH games to get more of the items.

That's the last one you're going to get.
