Wish they'd done away with gunner armor one game earlier, because I really want to Adept LBG, HBG, and Bow, but I don't want have to build separate armor for it.
good news!
you can just be lazy like me and build the final boss armor, then slot in everything you want and make it look fashionable.
bam! instant outfit for all 3 guns! the hardest part is getting a decent 3 slot talisman (which you'd also need for everything else, so whatever!)
i'm currently rocking that set with Normal/Rapid up, Focus, Critical Eye +1, and Crit Boost.
plus, unless you're going for those killer speedrun times, the difference in performance doesn't matter that much.
at least, not as far as i know...?
meanwhile my GS armor is ridiculously specific to that weapon and wouldn't carry over to other blademaster stuff anyway.
Focus, Crit Draw, Punish Draw, Crit Boost, (free horn maestro from talisman). with +1 more on my talisman i could pull off sheathe sharpen.

Eh. In order to max out the entire set, you need 5 Alluring Gems. That's a tall ask. I've maxed out Blademaster and 2 of the weapons (7 Alluring Gems!), but I haven't maxed out my Gunner Armor.
Luckily, there are Ahtal-Ka farming runs going pretty much 24/7.

Today is Switchmageddon, the day that Nintendo rolls out their online service. I hope all of you MHGU folks subscribed. If not, well... it was nice hunting with you, and maybe we'll hunt together again sometime in a different MH game.

Will probably activate that switch online trial tonight and continue on as normal; still working through HR village requests and G4 keys before I can get to the cool stuff.
Been having a lot of fun with the valstrax LS and DBs trying to learn valor mode on both. Being able to go a couple screens between sharpens with no armor skills is the biggest QoL improvement these weapons give, hands down.
I would go LBG, get out of the pit and try to kite/dodge her. Don't have to kill her, just survive I think. Head, tail/butt and wings are weak points for gunners
I'll have to try that. I was doing LBG, but in the pit, and I just could NOT do enough damage within 15m, and that nova is stupid. I feel like I was reasonably close, since she was getting real mad there towards the end. Other than the nova, it's just the timer is my problem.
Edit: It probably helps that charitably, my LBG playstyle could be described as "mobile", and uncharitably as "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!" as I roll around like I was on fire.
I beat EX Bloodbath Diablos, but it wasn't really a satisfying victory, because he's such a vile 1-shotting shit lord. I guess it's cool to have the crown next to my name, but I'm not a tremendous fan of the 1 MISTAKE = DEATH U NOOB LOL style of gameplay.
I actually might just use tonight's transition to PAY TO PLAY as an excuse to bow out of multiplayer MHGU, because I'm not responsible or savvy enough to balance things like school (which starts next week) and games like Monster Hunter.
I love the final mounting attack with the HH, you just start banging on them over and over with the horn like it's a Looney Tunes cartoon and it sounds like someone's tripped and fell in the music room.
Been using Long Sword a bunch lately, I can see why it is the most popular weapon in MHW, simple to use and that evade slash is just fantastic. Been doing ok vs all the monsters so far, even that bitch Deviljho. So far Val Hazak and Teastro have gotten chopped down, havent bothered with Kushala as I dont need anything from her. Will try some tempered next.
So far have been using my Xeno'Jiva armor setup with it.
Critical Eye 4
Weakness Exploit 3
Power Prolonger 3
Flinch Free 3
Blight Resistance 3
Health Boost 3 (I swap these out with various resists etc)
Protective Polish
Mind's Eye/Ballistics
Set bonus -Razor Sharp/Spare Shot
this is pretty much my insect glaive setup as well.
I am sure i could scale back some defensive measures for more offensive skills but so far I am doing pretty good

This was one weird-ass Mitsusune killshot. Look at those feet! I'm flying headfirst into it with the Ahtal-Ka Lance.

I can hardly wait to have a better time in 2nd Jungle than I ever did in MH2.
I just wish the MH2/MHF2 music was intact. In every case it was way more interesting than the MHFU replacements they've reused ever since (which are all apparently lifted from MH Frontier Online). They didn't even bother redoing the stage intro bits to match the new music, so every trip I'm reminded of the permanent mismatch. With 600+ hours in MH2 I sometimes forget and get confused, then disappointed when different music starts playing.
I think it's MHFU for iOS, given the massive size of the icons?

The idea of playing with touchscreen controls makes PSP and 2DS/OG3DS clawing seem appealing.
I was surprised to see the 2nd generation areas at what appears to HD resolution in a game that's not MHFO or MHGU. For all their many, many faults, they're actually quite pretty when not compressed to hell.

Does that video not include mhg and mhgu when it talks about old monster hunters not having “op attacks”. Because the hunter styles are busted as hell and allow you to do insane shit that is at least on par with the various moves in mhw.
Much like how my first day in G2 saw me fight Lao Shan Lung, my first day in G3 saw me fight Valstrax.
My goals for G3 are to get a few simple Rathalos parts to up my fire lance, and then to get parts from:
Gore Megala
Gammoth
Gravios
To supplement the ass-ton of Lao Shan Lung parts I have to build Borealis armor, which will be a great late-game set for the non-lance adventures I have, and give me the raw def to lance up to G4 and the promised one, Agnaktor and the glorious Agnaktor X armor.
The update for MHGU added an option to click the left stick to toggle sprint (and separate option to make it sheathe too). It doesn't replace the R button and you can't use it for certain draw attacks.

This toggle sprint option changes the map zoom to a button when the + menu is open, so will probably fix that problem.
Also, have you tried the option to turn the map off? It hides the map unless you are holding the L button. Really cleans up some screen space and it's not like you need the map open 100% of the time. It would be another way to fix accidentally zooming the map.
While we are on the subject of hidden options/buttons, is there a combination of buttons that does the same thing as the - button? On GS it kicks, and on DB it lets you do the spin forward move while standing (normally you have to run forward and hit X+A).

No, - is usually the same as X+A moves, but in a couple cases it's different and then it's the only button for it.

I'm struggling to find this in MHGU. Is this actually possible?
It's just the ZL multiplayer menu I think.

As far I've tried, it only gives me the option to connect/disconnect... So I'd have to create a new room. Or so I think, I might be really dumb.
Press +, there's an option (Maybe multiplayer settings) that let's you change hub stuff.

I wonder if it's a music licensing issue.
