Monster Hunter Go is now available. Let's discuss.
I killed some jagras but im too lazy to leave my house so thats it for me
>>1248891I've got some errands to do tomorrow so I'll probably muck around with it then. I like the idea and I secretly hope it doesn't flop.
Any gps spoofers for this?I wanna play this at work.
>>1248795i only see it as "soon to be released"
>>1249142You'll likely have to wait for it to come out in your country or region. I'm sure there's an .apk floating around out there. If you wanna get the jump on claiming your name early though.
If anybody has questions about it, feel free to ask. I just got past the "tutorial" which in typical monster hunter fashion, was very tedious and involved gathering many plants and rocks.
>>1249282yeah i did it but it seems like you need to change the country of your google account too,pain in the ass i'll wait for global
>>1249672Oh rip. It shouldn't be too far away I imagine.
I've made it to HR19 on my first day.Running a level 3 grade 3 Blooming knife (poison) with some upgraded armor pieces that give me poison attack +2 and attack boost +1. Pretty decent. The problem I'm running into is that the only thing that gives decent money is the 3 daily quests. You get 1000 zenny for each. Killing large 1 star monsters gives you 10, 2 stars gives 20, etc. Upgrades are starting to get pretty expensive at 650+ a pop, 5 levels for a grade up, with 5 armor pieces + multiple weapons if you're running that. So money is going to be definitely a problem quite fast. Hopefully, they raise the amount of cash you get per hunt or introduce more lucrative ways like selling your extra mats instead of destroying them.
>>1249692>Blooming knifelmao that's the exact same one I'm using. Have you tried other weapons types much?
>>1248949>spoofingyou honestly dont need it unless you dont leave your house. The monsters big and small roam and are not locked into one area
I really hope capcom and niantic make a device for MH Now like how Pokemon GO has, cause going to resource spots is aids
>Nianticno thanks
How many gb is the game?
>the game is out and ready to play! 100% good to go!...>so let's launch it in like 3 locations for no reason! And make everyone else wait... oh I don't know, two months?Dumb as shit. Guess I'll set up a vpn tomorrow or something
>>1249757I've played around with hammer and great sword. I'll probably make a build out of each weapon since some quests require "Hunt X amount of Monsters with specified weapon type or a particular armor set"I've always been playing with SnS in the monster hunter series so I don't mind sticking to it once more. You get some pretty good stun value out of the back step charge combo once you get used to it. Great for slashing tails too.I'll probably go hammer for the blunt damage for stuff like Barroth's head and long sword for those annoying tail severs. I'd like to be able to move the hunter without spamming rolls to better position for part breaks. It's why I'm thinking of over grading to grade 2 the kulu head piece, it gives lock on to parts.
More like monster hunter dragonite nowEvery single cap upgrade needs some
How do you change biomes? I need to fight in a swamp but it's all desert as far as i can see around me.
Anyone know what weapons you can unlock? I'm at HR 20 and I still don't have any of my usuals, namely Swaxe, Funlance, and DB.Though for anyone who's curious, sword and board, GS, LBG, bow, hammer and LS are unlockable.
>>1250664that's all the weapons in the game right now lol
>>1250642Either clear out the current biomes, or wait until the roaming monsters move on >>1250664I imagine they'll release more once the game come out, r-right?
>>1250666Thanks, Satan. Guess I'm a hammerbro for Now.
>>1250670>I imagine they'll release more once the game come out, r-right?Games already out, speaking of anyone have the APK anywhere?
>>1250793Scratch that, got everything working but now I just need a VPN, anyone know a good android (free) VNP?
welp i'm lvl 15 right now and the game suffer from the same problem than pokemon go, the gameplay is boring
>>1250027Pls respond bros.
The biome thing fucking sucks. I'm always in the desert and have to walk 1km in a direction to know if i'm heading to a swamp or a forest, where i have to walk 2km backwards if i was wrong due to how search spots are placed where i live.
How's the soundtrack? Is it new music or is it from the games?
>Run out of time fighting paolumu because not enough dps>decide to make the tobi weapon to hit his weakess>need three rank 2 drops to do a single weapon upgrade>11 tobis dead not a single dropso not only does the restrictive timer makes every fight a stat check, but the drop rates are ultra shit. Fuck that, i'm out.
>>1251520There's basically no effort in the music because everyone's playing the game muted.
>>1251543Weird, I thought I was in the MH Now thread, but I guess it's just a regular MH thread.
>walking around in the middle of the night picking up virtual rocksyep im retarded
>>1251649I co-op'ed at 2 am with some dude just a bit ago in front of a 24/7 mcdo. There are dozens of us
>>1251671not him but i dont think there's more than a dozen people playing outside of the 3 official released countries
what happened ? i cant connect to the servers even with vpn
>>1249282is grabbing the apk worth it? if Niantic doesn't activate stuff in your region, you should find yourself in the middle of nothing
>>1252232no i'm in a region not activated and there's the data since they probably they just ported the data from pokemon go and ran an algorithm on it
wow do you really only get 5 potions a day and theres no way to get them for free?
>>1252240I thought it was 10
>>1252313first day i got 10 now only 5
You have unlimited potions until HR 11. After that it's five a day.
>Don't have enough DPS to beat Anjanath>Four star are rare as fuck and i've never gotten the four star mat to drop>Jyuras only spawn in deserts and you need a shitload, so good fucking luck finding the right square kilometer that is currently designed as one.Progress is painfully slow, you have to put several hours into beating a new monster.
What does it take exactly to get this working in the US? I'm pre-registered, but if it's as simple as downloading an apk an early start sounds good.
>>1252737download the apk and use a vpn
>>1252737You need a vpn to canada, sweeden or hong kong when logging into the game, then you can just disconnect.
why is the entire game world shitmonsim not walking 10 km to kill a great jagras
Protips after about a week of playing>You might think you have enough small monster materials. you don't.>Elemental weapons are significantly better than raw and status ones, always fight great jagras and tobi (later anjanath). Sure Jyuratodus weapons are better in water, but you'll be fighting big jag right off the bat and every weapon goes to rank 10.
there is a point where you dont want to advance unless you have upgraded weapons and armour
>>1253376Things are unlocked once you defeat them though, you have to be strong enough to clear the urgent hunts for the new monsters to appear.
>>1253342do we get more longsword at some points because right now i'm HR20 and only two non elemental LS
>>1253670Here's what I have unlocked at this point at HR32. Like >>1253342 said, elemental really makes a big difference in your damage numbers. So I'd invest into it. Also it seems that later weapon unlocks end up with higher damages stats, so I wouldn't pump those early ones too high unless needed. The first hunter knife at grade 10 has a damage value of 1596 while the paolumu knife ends with 1764. A whopping 168 difference and the paolumu knife starts at grade 3 so you save on some upgrade money.
>>1253793Forgot my image
Keep in mind the game isn't technically out, so I would consider everything so far to be beta content. I'm sure more is coming on release, or I'm coping the big one.
>>1253793thanks so early on for water elemental damage it would be better to invest in jagras bowgun or SNS i guess
>>1253816Or you could go with the aqua messer, the jyuratodus water SnS if you can afford it. It ends up with slightly less raw but better water damage, we're talking 1300ish raw and a whopping 900 water vs the jagras that hits close to 1400 raw but a lower 600 water. Don't think raw equals 1 to 1 elemental damage but I'm banking on getting an elemental weapon for every weakness regardless so might as well go crazy with elemental. Also you get early access to some armor pieces with water attack + skills so that's nice. When you hit that special skill on weak points with the right element and a crit you start seeing 500+ numbers fly on a SnS it's pretty nice
>>1253866Thanks but I'm not even at paolomu so...
Fair warning unless you're rocking some anjanath's armor for fire resistance and close to 300~350 armor, Rathian's fire ball will almost certainly one shot you. She punishes side rolls with a 3 fireball combo, middle, left and finally right, so be ready to double roll. Fun fight otherwise and it unlocks 5 stars monsters afterwards so those tier 4 materials might be easier to find finally. You get her at the end of chapter 9.Good tip, rush that Lock On armor skill on the kulu head piece, it's a game changer for farming and part breaks. You can easily get 3 part breaks on a monster almost doubling your reward output way more efficiently.
>>1253875>tfw just ate shit against Rath's chargesEmbarassing stuff, guess I'm not used to the combat system yet.
>open game>see if there's a 4 star tobi nearby>there isn't>close gamewhy do lower level monsters that don't drop the mats you need stick around, i have no fucking idea.
out of the billion of VPNs on google play which one can I use that is free to become canadian on an alt account and then use that to install the game APK? Thanks appreciate an answer that doesn't cost 14.99 in advance. I wonder if I could even used my main account and transfer everything to the US release when it occurs.
>>1254034What's really frustrating is that once you get a new star difficulty unlocked, your whole map gets updated with the higher difficulty monsters immediately, which is fantastic, but subsequent reloads of the map turn them back to lower grades. I had a map full of 5 stars yesterday after fighting rath, loads of anjanaths, toby, etc now I have shitty two stars all around me this morning with high stars sparse. So that's definitely something I'd recommend, if you have an end of chapter fight (typically new monster unlock) wait for it to be when you'll be heading out to farm. Don't do it before going to sleep or being idle.
>get hit once>instant death and need to wait an hour to play againyeah im not feeling the health system at high ranks
>>1254779to be fair, nobody's spending on armor right now, just weapons. I'm still using the first top upgraded only to rank 2 for attack up. Wouldn't lose all your health with armor at upgraded as weapons.
feels like hunter rank is fucking useless right now and judging by the state of the thread no one is playing anymore
>>1258668I play a bit every day when I do my daily walks, but honestly there's nothing to talk about at the moment. I'm praying on full release that they add /something/, but right now there's /nothing/
Yup, same thing here, correctly progressing through six star while waiting for the actual release to see what events are like.
The hell are these "weapon/armor refining parts" bags? I can't figure out how to actually use them, kinda figured it would be openable.
>>1259258They're for the rank 6 upgrade that changes weapons' looks. Might as well not even exist because the real gate is zenny.
The mats requirements for grade 4 and grade 5 armors is ridiculous. At this point I've slain 21 anjanaths and I've only gotten 4 prime scales and 2 nosebones. I need 6 of these nosebones for the overgrade of the weapon and 2 for every armor pieces, simply for making the pieces, not even the upgrades. I can usually break the head, hindleg and cut the tail in a normal 4 star hunt. This is insane. Past 4 stars monsters shouldn't be dropping their 1 star materials I strongly believe.
>>1259719Ah, gotcha. Not quite there yet, barely eked out that 6 star Kulu urgent. The number of mats you need is getting ridiculous, rank 10 must need hundreds.
So what's the best weapon type?
>>1260159I've been using the same poison SnS since day 1 and I've never felt the need to switch.
>>1260159SnS, LS, and bow seem to be the better choices. Not sure about LBG, haven't touched it.
that fucking paolomu 5* quest i just cant damage him enough before running out of time with my current gear, looks like i'll have to run around looking for tobis or anjanath for a better weapon
>All monsters are from WorldI sure love having shit looking equipment in a game about collecting equipment.
rathalos down!
>>1260713A basic Anja weapon with the Anja helm for 100 extra fire can clear lumu and Legiana ezpz.
>>1263519yeah problem is at the time i didnt even have that just a rank 3 tobi LS because anjanath wasnt dropping anything once i got my anjanath weapon i got it down
>>1261793The files has descriptors for monsters other than world. Original, XX and for some reason Frontier. No Rise.
>Please update MH Go to continue>Update in the store>We cannot update lol get fucked>Uninstall>Try to install>We cannot install lol get fuckedQuality.
>>1268071uninstall pokemon go and then install the update
>>1268740How do you lock-on the head?
>>1270195
>>1261838are you rocking a poison hammer?
>nerfed SnS damage so that it can't solo 8* monsters anymore with 7* weapons>can't upgrade the weapons without 8* dropsthat Hanke fag is back at it with forced co-op
>>1248795I think it kinda ruins the global launch if other places get stuff early for the game and just spoil most of the content or the lack of it
Wasn't this supposed to release.in the US today? I can't get it from Google Play yet.
whats the recommended armor set for LBG and Bow?
>>1249674apple store says 'expected september 14th'
>>1282231sept 14th this friday. I'm wondering if longsword rush is going to be the best damage output early on until they start adding things to the game over time. it'll take autism data miners to determine what the meta turns into before the first nerfs
>>1282231I just got the notification that it's up, and I'm in the US. It's downloading now.
Guess we are live in the U.S. now
someone post a referral code for me to use
>>1285079That's what I wanted to ask
>>1285079find one on twitter
>>1285090i'd rather help a 4chan stranger than a twitter stranger
how close to other people do you have to be to co-op
How do I enter promo codes? It's supposed to be under settings but I don't see it.
Monthly seems too expensive
>>1248795>discussumm... is this pokemon go, but in a monster hunter skin?
5V6D65NFReferral code
>>1285141Not quite. It's got some of the bones, but it's not the same thing
im sure nips will play this, but it will flop everywhere else
>>1285152This. It will be the same issue that Pokemon Go had. People in densely populated areas (like Japan) will flourish in this game. Others will suffer and drop the game. I cant seems to find any large monsters. I have plenty of large resource nodes near me, but no monsters. If I have to spoof just to be able to actually play the game, why would I would I play this instead of a real Monster Hunter game?
>>1285143thanks bro
TRT2V3C3 referral codeI don't know if you guys are familiar with other niantic games but their hotspots are locations to get large collection nodes. Missions that say hunt monsters count large and small. Large monster hunts are of course only starred monsters. You have to reach level 11 and unlock/beat great ghirros before you can use any weapon besides the SnS. roughly a minute time for monsters but hunts are usually done in 10 seconds or so at 1 star. upgrades are a bit grindy and you need to overgrade equipment for skills like lock on and weapon skills. They force you to overgrade a kulu yaku hat for lock on in a mission but on the upside you can go pretty far with just the pukei pukei SnS so I would recommend overgrading that for the skill first. health regen is pretty generous and the weaponskills grant full invulnerability at least among 2 star monsters. Casuals might love it but the monster spawns seem pretty few and far between for rural and even suburban areas. That's my day one "global release" look at it I spent maybe 2 hours rushing HR 15 or 17. Still want to try hammer and bow out but LS seems to be best dps and mobility at a glance. The grindyness of the equipment has me reticent to see what skills do what. Might spend more time with it as the weather cools.You can paint ball monsters to bring home to fight or at least that's how they made it sound. The cat will also paintball monsters for you so uhh cool? A lot of discovery phase shit for power gamers monster hunter players who can't hunt at work
>>1285289>You can paint ball monsters to bring home to fight or at least that's how they made it soundYeah i was kinda worried that i had to fight shit at the middle of street. Glad thats a thing
>>1285293confirmed I used none of mine and my cat had 4 1 star shitters waiting for me at home. If anyone wants to try some 3stars or something upload that shit I'm curious to get into the real meat and potatoes of higher ranked hunts I still need to grind baby mats too.The zenny bonus from referrals would help me get some skills since I have a shit ton of garbage jumping around hot spots today. The hunting team with the friends looks like you would be able to join a remote hunt with someone elsewhere and get an alert like raids from Pogo? If anyone wants to try it out add me I'll put it up next I'm very curious about the title but I've been gripped with the monhungumi since ps2
Feel free to add me I want to see what can or can't be done even if someone is at a 8 star monster or something. Let's dance boys
>>1268740better target that tail son you're gonna need spines
>See One player nearby for a Large Monster hunt>Wait a minute>Nobody shows up.Doubt this will get as popular as Pokemon Go but I hope I at least find someone who's also hunting.
I don't think a lot of people will play Pokemon go #6, but at least there's lots of stuff around me to play for a while
When can you get other weapons types? I want to use GS eventually, SnS isn't bad but it feels spammy
>>1285348Yeah you need to progress a bit to unlock the other weapons, weird choice but eh
>>1271902i like me my feather duster
>tfw no large monsters near me, no matter how far I walk>tfw will never make it past HR6Guess I'll go play World or something
Are names not unique anymore? I woke up hours after it went live but was able to get a name I couldn't get in 10 minutes of the first beta
>>1285348HR12 gives GSHR15 the other weapons
>>1285410There's not really any reason for them to be when your real "name" to the servers is your Niantic ID.
Do we have info on how the map generation works yet? I see some straight line borders around me for the forest/desert areas, but then only the colorful blobs within those seems to actually generate large monsters and resource spots, but also those blobs change shape and size sometimes?
This shit keeps freezing in the Logging in... screen in my phone.Works fine in my tablet.
Does the felyne collect mats while I sleep
>>1285616Only if adventure sync is on
Show off those huntersLmao customization is of course a bit sparesI think the game is pretty entertaining so far. A nice distraction on walks and has more gameplay than Pokémon Go for example.
Save yourself the trouble:https://www.mediafire.com/file/7j0hdi59gi2udjv/com.theappninjas.fakegpsjoystick_4.2-2011_minAPI19(armeabi-v7a)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk/file
>>1285567Got it to work but now the map is empty, location is all set and everything. This game, man.
>>1285703I mean, it IS the first day.
What gear am I supposed to be aiming for?
>>1285745>survival: divine blessing (legiana/paolumu)>charge weapons: focus (pukei, jyarotodus)>affinity: kulu, rathalos>elemental damage (you will need these if you get to the 8 stars monsters and above)
Feels good being a tokyochad. THIS is their target audience. Now will it be as successful as Go. No. But I think they’ll keep it online for at least a couple of years considering MH is capcoms biggest IP.
general info from one of the sizable d*scords:there is no long-distance multiplayer yet, even with QR code hunt sharing. 200 meters is the approximate limit on joining hunts.Monsters respawn on 3 hour set timers, 12am, 3am, etc. small resources respawn after 15 minutes after you interact with them, large resources respawn 3 hours after you interact with them.elemental damage works differently from main games and is essential for high rank huntsreally hope they're quick about implementing more multiplayer features, i found 5 people out in the wild downtown today but you can't add them as friends, signal to them, rally around any point... nothing like gyms or pokestops to make players gather, plus no long distance, plus no daily gifts or other friend incentive
>>1285829Niantics are the dumbest niggers alive. They literally expect you to go hang out in a park and approach random people with your cellphone to do multiplayer shit.
>>1285856>>1285829surely some other dev could take a shot at game like this
>>1285860The biggest difficulty behind making a game like go/bloom/mh is the whole real life map aspect. Niantic gets the licenses by default just because they have the whole thing setup.
>>1285860I used to play orna which was an indie gps rpg (thats how it called itself)it was solid
>welcome to -3% drop rate hell, enjoy your stay
>Gameplay restricted due speed
>>1285882>have the game open indoors>my dude starts warping around like some dbz character
>>1285882Fuck this message
>>1248795My device is not compatible with this app, it says on the play store. Any solutions?OPPO A53s btw.
>>1285675Huh can't you get banned for using this stuff? I remember playing Pokemon with that shit and got banned for who knows how many years kek
>>1285867thanks for the game. seems way more in depth than the neantic or w/e games. also saw that chat was filled with people actually speaking full sentences and having conversations vs chink spam
Are there bonus stats for having a complete armor set? Or is it ok to mix them
>>1285955don't bother. if you absolutely must I'm sure you could emulate it on bluestacks adn then transfer the account via niantic account to a new phoneThey really monetized the progression in this or monetized the grind. Playing casually is probably going to get you more mileage than actually doing the quest progression which is a weird thing to say since you would think the cooler weapons and skills are locked behind progression. Niantic really wants you to to spend on getting Zenny to upgrade armor because 3 and 4 star monsters do like 60 damage for trample damage. Not a direct hit I mean getting caught while your on the side of them. It's a very odd decision most likely made to get more mileage out of the game for players while they trickle in more monsters.
Wtf I’m Caius
Do greatswords actually work for dps? I just unlocked the Barroth one, and it has good attack but feels like I would get hit more often than I did damage. Otherwise i've been using the Jagras and Pukei sword/shields
>Start game>See no monsters>Close gameWhy are the spawns so shit?
>>1286072See>>1285829They want you to actually move around, so large monsters take time to respawn. You choose either waiting for a few spawns near you, or going out to catch some with paintballs.
>>1286078I got 2 tags when i went for a 30 min walk. Maybe my cat is broken or that is the norm
>>1286097I think it just tracks whatever had already spawned wherever you go. So if you see 2 monsters 1 block away then turn the game off and go there, it'll mark 2.Also IIRC the max for cat paintballs is like 3 anyway, at least at my current level.
Use my code on Monster Hunter Now!FJ8MWXNKThank you :>
>>1286002It's genuinely better to mix them. surely later on full sets will have a bonus for 3 or more of the same set. For right now just make sure to double check the skills before dumping zenny into armor. Upgrading your weapon is probably going to be a priority for quite some time. Certain monsters just seem like way too much risk vs reward. I recommend building up the kulu crit LS and the pukei SnS. SnS lets you cancel most attacks into a dodge or the super but the slower weapons deal with positioning more than actually doing damage.>>1286070I think the large slow weapons are gonna need skills to make them worth using
Bluestacks seems to crash on launch for me, any other emulators working?
>>1286119Thank you for the advice
I hope some people from the soft release have some meta info for us since I seem to be hard stuck at the urgent pukei 4star I just run out of time due to roars and needing to position. which is odd because I already beat like 3 four star pukeis
>>1286146Scratch that simply abusing I frames with the kulu LS can go through most attacks.
How do you do jump attacks with the SnS? I did it once and can't anymore
>>1286207You can do one after a block, no idea if there's other ways.
>>1286207I was able to get it a couple of times swiping up when I was in the monsters face, it is not consistent.
>>1286207>>1286221>>1286226I think it's after a forward dodge, or recovery from knockback, at least that's when I see it. Also you get a jump at the end of the charged skill
Is there something i could do to fix the game's low framerate?
how do you get the prereg rewards?
>>1286272
I hope they add sex soon
I'm committing genocide
I hope we are able to suggest resource node locations soon
>>1286350it will require something stupid like being HR 300 before being able to make requests
Where are the little flying shitmons? I've been stuck on the Kulu helm upgrade quest for ages. I've been joysticking all over the world and theres only large monsters and resource nodes everywhere I go.
Does Adventure Sync mean that i can completely close the game or do i have to keep it on the background?
>>1286379Cheaters never prosper
>>1286403You can close it
>>1286411thanks anon
>>1286409I found them. They spawn around you if you log out, wait like 20 minutes, and relog.Cheater status: prospering.
This game is amazing, it's ruining my life. I've been playing it on the toilet every day at work and I'm sure my boss has noticed the girly grunting anime sounds while I'm "taking a shit". Nobody dares calling me out on it though, because it's kinda weird to spy on your colleagues pooping. My performance has dropped significantly but it's okay because I live in Europe so they have to pay me for a few months if I get fired and I work in IT so I'll find another job no problem. I don't have a car so it's kinda difficult to get around to play and it's not really feasible to play and cycle around with a bike. I don't live on top of resource points so it's given me a natural disadvantage. I have to walk through a dodgy neighbourhood in order to get those material hotspots but it's okay, I just wait until it's very late or I wake up for an hour or so in the middle of the night to get them very early when it's safe. I'm almost hunter rank 11 now, but I still have to gather 1 material and kill 1 large monster. I'll probably wait until tomorrow. I've never played any of the original games so I'm not sure where this is leading to. I've seen some cool action from other player videos where they jump and stuff. I don't know how combat controls work properly so I just spam tap and it works for me. I slide to the right when the monster starts glowing red. It's great. Sometimes it's awkward though like when you're in the grocery store and you have to fight a boss battle there, not everyone understands what's going on so I have to explain I'm not watching some kind of weird dirty video or something like that with all the grunting, but most people just ignore it. I haven't met anyone irl who is also hunting for materials but I'm sure I'll run into someone as I've been depleting all resources in the area. Is there a leaderboard? I want to become the best.
>>1286431>I'm almost hunter rank 11
>>1286409this is a niantic game the cheaters arguably have the very best situation out of everyone playing whaling or otherwise. god I wish I was cheating.
>game locks you out of anything the second you exceed 15 mphas a bike player, I feel personally attacked.
>>1286450it exceeds that when im sitting on my ass at home
Day 2 and I’m HR 18, only moving from home to work
Unfortunate that there probably won't be full online co-op, just local. Would have been cool to just paintball shit for a day and share with people beyond just locals
>>1286474Do QR codes not work online? That doesn't make sense. Also, long-distance raids are/were a thing in POGO
>>1286493I haven't played pokemon go for very long myself (I was just there for the initial hype really) but seems various pre-release info suggest that local MP is at least the main focus. If Elder Dragons become an online co-op thing later as a Raid that'd be neat I'd guess.
>HR 15>They just gave me the GSGod damn it I want the hammer NOW
>>1286497>>1286493niantic is on their holy crusade of making you interact with only locals. see: the companion Campfire social app and increased remote pass prices
>>1286752Yeah, I really didn't understand that. Seems counter-intuitive.
Do you have to have the game closed for blue paintballs to work? I just went for a walk with my dog and left my phone in my pocket (screen turned off / locked) but didn't get anything, even though there should've been monsters on the route.
>>1286788Your cat can only auto-mark 3 per day. The rest you have to do yourself with the pink ones.
>enable adventure sync>cat never paints anything>huge battery drain>disable adventure sync>no painted monsters>no battery draini am back to where I started
I'm HR27 and still rocking shit ass gear. Now I'm at Anjanath and getting gear recommendations. You guys find any good gear? I've been cleaning up with the blooming knife 2 level 4/5 grade 2???I have a first dance 3 lvl 3 and it puts in work on stuff not weak to poison. My armor is meh grade 2 shit I just sort of made things. Good news is daily missions give about 3K Zenny but it goes fast when you start upgrading shit. I will note some of the hardest things to find are carpenter bugs. Not sure if item nodes will get a buff or there's a gathering equipment yet to help with that.How you guys doing?
>>1286807Yeah, I've still got the 3 in the paintball menu. Maybe my reception is so shitty it can't track me properly or something.
>>1286829HR 68kill me already
>>1286833god damn I hope you were spoofing anon. Please tell me you were cheating and not actually wandering around all day
>>1286819The cat paints monsters based on the actual game spawns. If you don't have monsters with the game.on at home, you won't have them with it off.
>>1286714HR 16. You get everything else at that point.
Yeaaah I'm gonna wait for them to patch out the annoying restrictions. Pretty stupid for those of us that are actually passengers.
I befriended a local shota to play this and it feels wrong. Most people think he is my son because I am in my late 20s and I got a frumpy mom body.
People who have unlocked seven star monsters, does doing it also raises the rarity of monsters in general? I need to hunt six stars mostly but they're rare spawns at the moment. I probably can't handle seven star rath/blos/legi, and the way forwards involves six stars. Tired of useless fuck four stars making up the majority of monster spawns.
>>1286890yes but dont go over 2 stars until you have maxed your weapons to 7/5
>>1286890>>1286921and also finished the elemental armors because to overgrade your weapons to 8 you need 4 gems from the 3 stars monsters and you need to kill like 60 to get one
>>1286925Only my Jagras weapon is at 7-5 right now, but Tobi's getting there soon too.
>>1286829HR23Kulu Headpiece 2 - 2/5Pukei Mail 3 - 1/5Kulu Vambraces 2 - 1/5Girros Coil 1 - 3/5Girros Greaves 1 - 1/5Been mainly using Girros Hammer 1 - 4/5Also have a Blooming Hammer 2 - 3/5Getting a Stun into a Part Break into a Paralysis is incredibly satisfying right now.
At what point do you get to choose your weapon?
half the time paintballed monsters just give me network error when i try to hunt them
I thought the pink balls also replenished…
>>1287144HR 15 is GS, Urgent quest at 16 gets you bow, light bowgun, Longsword, and hammer.
>>1250027It's hella small and the update is like 80MB.
So how are the bowguns in this game? Broken and braindead just like main series?
>cant play on the trainDOA in japan
>>1287375They have fine DPS and are relatively safe in a game where taking damage is punished very heavily, so they're probably top tier. Very dependent on their crutch skills as per usual ( (unless you're a god gamer who can consistently get perfect evades), so you need to reach Legiana for reload speed +3 before they really come online.
>finally available on my playstore>give *1 review>uninstall
>>1286840not entirely true; you need to clear the girros urgent first
>>1286876
how do i use my special skill?
is there an armor list somewhere? I want to know what skills each piece of armor has before wasting my resources
>>1287621Level up weapon and then click the button
>>1286838How do people spoof nowadays?
>>1287700See>>1285675It works alright, but you don't get small monster spawns while using it. And you'll probably get strike from niantic in a few days or weeks, but in the meantime you can zoom around and slurp up resources/hunts.
nice
>shitmon go clonewhat a shame, it plays well
Been playing a little bit, I went in with zero expectations and it's fun enough for what it is, remember to get your Kulu helmet to rank 2 for lock-onUse my referral code if you need one anons: K3FDJEPP
>>1287221Nope, you only get them from quest bonus or buy them, goyem.
>>1251380really? there's a huge variety where I am, and they seem to rotate every hour or so.
>>1286078what even is the point of paintballs? why not just fight them as you run into them?
>>1288052when you or your cat paint ball a monster, the monster can be fought from anywhere within 2 days IIRC, it stays on your list of marked monsters, you just have to click on it and fight it
>>1288058That cat I sort of understand because it can paintball things while you're offline I think.But for the pink ones, you can't paintball without getting close enough to fight it. So why not just fight it right then? Is it a feature for people who are too low on health to fight at that moment so they save it for later? That seems kind of pointless and niche for being a limited resource you mainly have to pay for.
>>1288062i dunno man, you asked what they did and i told you what they do, what else do you want from me, man?
>>1288062You paintball some choice monsters during the day and have a hunt party with your pals at the hood in the evening. I assume as we get to top end hunts having 3 competent partners might be needed and you won't just solo everything easily.
>>1287845>remember to get your Kulu helmet to rank 2Quests needing specific pieces of armor upgraded is dumb
>>1288098It's a tutorial quest and it's not like it's a bad piece of gear. Better than crafting some shit legs with like poison attack or something useless
>>1288098It is a little weird but the lock-on skill that comes with it is amazing, very good for getting break drops, at least it's a good piece of gear
>>1288091>>1288067Ah, so they don't become useful until you're finding monsters you can't easily take on by yourselfand I should be saving my free blue paintball fights until I get back home so I can face them with my roommate and we both get the loot.Gotcha
>>1288098it's the first early game gear that has Lock On, so it's serving as both an intro to crafting armor, armor skills, and that there are areas of the monster rather than just 1 big hitbox, and then when you inevitably break the targeted spot, that part breaking exists and gives extra loot.One quest replaces like 6 wordy tutorials with one 'show don't tell.' Honestly, I'm kind of impressed by the efficiency in game design.What I found annoying was that it requires a rare drop to craft, because it took me a day and a half to actually get a monster bone M to drop.
>>1288101is poison attack bad? I'm used to console and dual blades, so elemental/status boosts are my bread and butter once i'm not dirt poor relying on a one size fits all attack set.
>>1287771nice
Is anyone even upgrading gear? I’m using base everything at level 25. Seems fine.
>>1285919>>1285882get off your fat asses
>>1288221I am
>>1288247I wish I lived in a walking town so much. Everything is separated by driving distances and there's hardly any sidewalk. Hitting the same issues I had with pokemon go. Some places just aren't build for this kind of game.
>>1248891fpbp
Should I be rushing to higher ranks or take it easy?
So what does the in-game battery saver setting actually do?
How do I do the perfect dodge? I need it for the daily.
>>1288467swipe screen after the enemy flashes red, actual attack timing varies by monster. The dodge is not super responsive but the window is pretty generous.
>>1288467
>>1288475those micro stutters are very annoying, i have a good phone, s22 ultra and still get this shit even with fps priority
Yeah not really sure how well this game is gonna take off. While I like that it actually requires you to go out I find that this also might be a bit to much of a detriment. With PoGo you can easily make a route and just follow that forever and collect everything just fine, pikmin bloom is even more set up for that kind of casual play. This requires way to much planing and exploring and has to much change which I feel like is gonna turn a bunch of people off.
>>1288503Honestly this just made me wonder if i should try Go again
>>1288503> With PoGo you can easily make a routeI mean, if you're one of the like 15 people that actually works for.
>>1288507>routes makes me want to go backLife every other system in PoGo, it does not work. Don't drink the lies.
>>1288062I paintball monsters at red lights and fight them when I get home.
>>1288475Huh, just found out you can do this move, and when I tried it out it somehow transitioned into a jump attack. SnS sure is wonky. Wonder what secret moves other weapons have? >>1288503I like not needing to stop by pokestops just to play the basic game loop. Atleast you can eventually clear quests even if you never leave your house.
Playing in Florida right now is brutal. My phone is overheating constantly if I try to venture out during daylight hours.
>enjoy game>runs okay>game just decides to lock my entire phone for no reason constantlybig struggle, restarting my phone to fix it is also silly.
>>1288138It's not like it's bad it's just not useful unless you are using a poison weapon
is there a database of skills on armor yet? I refuse to click on each one individually to find focus evade extend etc and then screen shot each one
I was wondering why my character was all over the place on map and kept getting the speed thing, turns out i just had to turn on wifi scanning
>>1288600https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JoxIsZt6dm6XtiQ8t8vvDF2YEPzsKP7PerY3eh7OXic/edit?usp=drivesdk
Paolumu armor seems good
So this game is all supposed to be played locally or should I bother posting my friend code? I guess I'll post it anyways
>>1288633you lazy fuck type it here so I can copy and paste it
1500 /5000 items in about 3 days..After that I guess is just start deleting?
>>1285419im hr 15 and still dont have GS or anything but SnS. What am i doing wrong?
>>1288681do the story quests
>>1288683I am
>>1288693It must have been changed. I got gs after 15, then ls hammer lbg the next rank after.
>>1288693I'm not completely sure, but I think I got it after the quest to kill a great girros
>>1288221only enough to turn grade 2 skills on.>>1288503I'm HR 20 and literally just walk around my block and occasionally the surrounding blocks, then sometimes open it when at work and gather/fight if anything is nearby while I'm in the bathroom, at lunch, or if there's no customers so nothing to do. I certainly never leave my neighborhood when walking.It helps that I live with two other players and so we end up fighting each other's palico-paintballed monsters. But not that much.I sometimes also leave it up to gather during my commute. The cat gathers gubbins attention and hands free.
>>1288598so... it works exactly like normal then.>>1288681when you beat chapter 2 AND have HR 15 you get GS.when you beat chapter 3 AND have HR 16 you get the rest.
Anyone here into the High Rank story quests yet?Is there a G-rank too?
Can you evade while charging with the hammer? I swear I tried swiping while holding down a dozen times, at best what happened is it released the charge.
I hadn’t noticed you could change your appearance this much
I wanna build around LBG, whats the best build right now? currently HR21
>>1288751>Is there a G-rank too?Oh there's G-Rank areas alright.
>>1288846
>>1288789Tobi head / paolomu body / legiana gloves / anganath waist / barroth legswaist is the only interchangeable part
i dont think my cat has marked a single fucking thing
>>1289003yep, I ended up disabling adventure sync altogether
>>1289005my cat would mark them as I was going pastbut the problem is that it takes the resources and doesn't count them towards my questshad it turn it off for that as well.
At what point elemental overtakes raw? grade3 elemental weapons are way too weak compared to grade3 raw poi, also I'm using SNS, is there a weapon tree database? I don't wanna waste time upgrading shit that won't work in a future
>>1289076I think raw will always be viable but apparently there are some fights later that basically demand you have a weapon and set of each element?they can also benefit from the element damage sets while raw options seem a lot more limited
It really starts getting hard at 4 stars
Hot damn this game is so much better than pogo.
>>1285675Had to use this because the game just wouldn't work on my phone.
>>1289343what chinkshit phone are you using
anyone having success with greatsword? feels kinda ungabunga and hope everything goes right considering the short timelimit.
>>1289382It's not even that.My Redmi note 3 pro with a custom ROM can launch it and play just fine.But the actual phone I use for work, Redmi note 8, launches it and all but the map is empty, no matter what I do or what I enable.I assume it's because I logged into the game with a different account than the one I have set up in this phone, and something is fucking up.
>need 1 piece dragonite ore for week straight>drive around town hitting 26 metal nodes for a week >0 dragonite orenot looking good
>>1289477>Live right in between a mining outcrop and vegetation node
>>1285675how can I avoid ban using this? the grind on this game is ridiculous
>>1289553at most you will eventually receive a warning, this method of spoofing is also the easier one to patch for niantic so this is being allowed on purpose
When is Capcom going to implement the Gun Sword from Lost Planet 2 as a weapon class in Monster Hunter Now?
Been playing all weekend. Pretty fun little game but >4 years development>mostly an asset flipImpressively incompetent where it should matter most, the art for the new girl is like the one new thing yeah? Would be nice if it had its own style but this is really just like world/rise assets slapped on niantics already established systems. The bursts of combat are pretty fun though.Here are some desires I’ll never get>palico customization This seems like a sin not to have >palamute optionFor dog lovers aka me >monster vs player/monster Would be interesting to implement a form of “pvp” through a capture system. Could cap monsters like in the real game then set them out to fight other hunters, possibly other monsters and bring back rewards. I have the whole system worked out in my head but it’s too autistic to put here and probably too intricate for it to work on their system >guild systemWould like to see a guild system where players around the world can join in on each others paintball hunts. Hoping this will happen when the money dries up and they need an excuse to sell more gems for paintballs or something. >better z drops The cash requirements are the ultimate bottleneck next to ore if you wanna collect and upgrade multiple things. If you’re like me you’re kinda forced to go all in on one set and weapon since it gets expensive.Anyway, cool game. Gonna keep playing. Actually agree with the other anon that this could be better than pogo, it has the potential but I hope the content keeps up. Tired as fuck from all the walking too.
>>1289617>4 years developmentThat cant be right
Just found out this game existed today. I'll have a good bike ride tomorrow it seems.So uh. Things you wish you knew before starting? Would appreciate the deets.
>>1289623beats me. I honestly haven't learned a damn thing since I started playing, at least that would have affected how I play in the slightest.Well, except maybe that if you play with other people, meet up and do all your paintballed fights at the same time rather than on your own that way you share loot rewards and quest progress for the fights and also they're easier.
>>1289617>The cash requirements are the ultimate bottleneck next to orewrong. you cannot pay for more ores you have to waddle around to fucking nodes hoping you get the ore drop you need. it's kind of shitty. hopefully they implement more drops per node and popup either at later HR ranks or after tweaking from feedback.
What weapons are good for each class/type early on? Currently rotating between Pukei SnS, Pukei Hammer, and Kulu Longsword, but I can craft things up to Tobi.
>>1289644use what you like till the math nerds show up.
>>1285675thanks but for whatever reason my game crashes for zero reason.
I went past all three of these retards on a walk and it only auto-marked one of them, despite having all three paintballs available. Is there some kind of internal cooldown for it?
>>1289525Don't the nodes rotate every day with ground type?
>>1289623Save your 5 free medpacks from today so you'll have 10 to use tomorrow. I went to the local park on weekend and had an overall fun experience, but medpacks drain very fast when you have a constant supply of fights to do, and you don't really have the luxury of just putting the game down for 20 minutes after fight when you're out.
>>1289718>medpacks drain very fast when you have a constant supply of fights to doGit Gud at dodging.
Do equipment skills stack? Kadachi mail and vambraces both have evade extender.
>>1289747yes
>>1289717Yeah but so far they've been rotating between mineral and vegetation between each other.
>no damage stats at end of battle Pretty sure some of these fuckers are doing single digit damage
>>1289833i hunted a 2 purple stars pukei with a rank 9 person i found while spoofing, it was hell but he did last hit it as the timer reached 0
>>1289623You can almost ignore armor stats, look at the skills instead. You'll be using the rank 2 stuff for a long time, so that's more important.Weapons are a little different, since elemental damage can be good when hitting weaknesses, but still check them.Get the Kulu head armor for lock on, you get a ton of extra damage by hitting weak points.
>No water monstiesMy ferry rides home.... ruined....
>Long walk with the dogs>Raining heavily so keep my phone in my pocket>Get home and check MHNow>Palico didn't paintball or collect anythingUseless little shit
My cat used to spend all three balls with just the phone sitting at home, but today that didn't happen. Feels like something may have been changed.
>>1289990Same here, first couple of days the cat used to mark monsters and had lots of them waiting but now it is not marking monsters
What qualifies as a node? There's a single one in my neighborhood near a playground, but saw that there were a dozen crammed into a nearby cemetery.
Anybody had that everywhere around you was blue sea and, there's nothing on the map? I checked everything with perms and shit and it still stays like it.
>>1289998Happening to me too right now, I've been spoofing a little bit so hopefully it's not a strike or a ban.
>>1290008i tried some spoofing too but it was janky and got some warnings that i run too fast but actually i wasn't. Mine spoof was Fake GPS Location-GPS JoyStick, what are you using?
>>1289998That seems to happen when you open the game and you're moving too fast, idk what else causes it. Normally goes away after a bit if I'm not in a car but you might just need to relaunch. If it's not that then no idea
>3 nearby hunters>no one helpingPleaaase bros
>>1290035Based on my rank and experience I think it’s eitherA) People don’t see the small “Join Hunt” button above their avatar in the bottom leftB) The game night show there’s hunters nearby but they may not get a prompt if you are ahead of themOr C) The phone is in their pocket of course.I’ve only been able to coop hunt if I join others. I’m HR31 and I never get people joining my hunts.
>>1289998Do you live on a military base? Game is banned on them after Pokémon Go players were hopping fences and shit.
>>1290042Nah, just a shitty 50 something houses area like 20 km to nearest town
>>1289964to add onto "get the kulu head armor for lock on"you get a head with reload speed on it which is better if you are using lbg
Just started playing I live around a point where forrest, desert, and swamp intersect so I can visit all of the regions on my walks. Does this matter and I got lucky or is it not really a big deal? Also will these regions change overtime?
>>1290088The terrain type change daily but the general borders of the area they are in will stay the same. Definitely convenient
incoming DB's, save your zenny
>>1290100>I'm not at the point where zenny is a problem yetI have a feeling db are going to do extremely well considering the short timer.
>>1290162considering the DPS on the weapon and how elemental is king here expect them to get nerfed the second patch after they are released
my problem is there's no incentive to add friends, or does that give you potions?
>>1290183nah
>>1290100Switch Axe bros. We're next, I just know it.
>>1289428This is how it looks in my phone, all empty.Everything enabled, and the only thing I can think of is that I am using two google accounts in this phone.But even leaving only one and using that one, it is still empty.
>>1289998Re-enabling location services if you turned them off to help with rubber banding worked for me
what difference does making a hunt A and B does A get more drops or something?
>>1290304as of now not yet, its just a dick measuring grade at the moment
>>1290305gotcha so ill take my sweet time to try break as many parts as i can and get more loot
Just finished Chapter 5. Eat Greatsword, Paolumu.
You guys think there will be other things to buy with gems in the store? I bought that release celebration gems thing and I don’t want to spend any since it looks like it just buys crap I don’t need right now.
>dodging forward while charging your great sword let's you do the tackleneuronsactivating.gif
Anyone know how to spoof GPS for this? Fucking hate living in a rural area and I just saw some chinese guy showing how to use some program that will probably infect me but god I am tempted.
Just beat the Anj, I was worried about never needing to use healing items but the 4 star monsters have lessened that worry. Now I have to actually think instead of just dodging once to the side and swinging the GS forever
>unlock 5* hunts>everything around me is 5* now>can't solohunt anymorehuhsaw this thing though, so there's that
>>1290463Cool thing
>>1290463What's the cutoff quest so I can grind 1-4 stars before being stuck in 5 star territory?
>>1290473End of chapter 9, fight with a 4* Rathian I'm waiting for a fresh respawn in a couple hours to see if the mix is better, maybe I just got very unlucky with spawns. There are 1~4* hunts further away, just everyone easily accessible to me happened to be 5*.

How do bans work in this game? If I use something like ianygo and they detect it is it a temp ban to start or immediately permanent?
>>1290502game just came out, we don't know. assume they handle it how they handle pokemon go.
>>1290502>>1290516I should add, I've been using a gps joystick type thing since launch. I'm not gonna go outside specially when it eats the battery on my phone and also hardlocks my phone for no reason causing me to have to restart it.
>>1290518>gps joystick type thingLike a device? That sounds kinda cool.
really wish there were a training area
How do I get more paintballs without paying irl money?
>>1290600lol
>>1290600You get one for clearing a chapter, I think?
>>1290518I was using this too, how do you manage to get rid of you're walking too fast? Even at snail speed i get this and yesterday they banned my alt for that
I'm thinking that the Lock on ability should have been available from the very beginning as a default feature of the game . For some reason they REALLY want you to use that kulu headpiece.
>>1290613I see people saying how good it is and I do have it on just because the game made me make it but never used the feature.
>>1290617I only use it in my long sword set to cut off tails, though it doesn't look like it gives you a higher chance of getting one unlike how the games work
>>1290613On one hand, it's weird how an equipment piece provides and entire new mechanic while others are meh numerical buffs. On the other, I'm not sure how effective breaking parts is of you're pushing difficulty. Feels like at the type of fights you'd struggle with, breaking is hard to achieve, and on easy low-tier ones something random breaks pretty easily even without targeting.I think we need to wait until there's a significant number of people at endgame and meta settles a bit.Also, how the fuck is there no weapon+armor quickselect presets, when you are BY DESIGN meant to swap weapon elements.
>>1290621There are loadouts aren't there?
>>1290613it was imbued into the gameplay into the beta, for dinner reason they decided it should be an skill later and here we are
>legiana>get hit at the last moment and go from 100 to 0Guess I have to get better at dodging. It recommends twice the defense and leveling the beginner gear feels like such a waste
>>1290646>tfw i am hunting 3 stars monsters with 380 defensegit gud
Can you change between male and female or are you stuck once you pick?
>>1290651yes
>>1290617If you are trying to get as many part breaks as possible, or if you wanna properly utilize weakness exploit later in the game, it's almost a must for any melee weapon. Early on it doesn't really matter but at around when you unlock 4 star monsters is where you wanna pay attention to elemental weaknesses and such.
>>1290650>380Shit I'm at 179 on 4 stars. I was at like 160 but it warned me that 200 was recommended when I got to girros. I feel like I just don't have any materials because there's just fucking nothing in my area.
>>1290654i meant 3 purple stars monsters, anon
>>1290655That makes more sense. Even more proof that I'm lagging behind. Fuck this live in the city to win game.
>>1290622oh fuck, there really are
Anjanath just tailswiped me with a missing tail....
>>1290622>only 4 loadouts>water, lightning, fire, ice, dragon, para, poison maybe burstgonna need more of 'em
>>1290183If they want people to buy paintballs, then they need to get rid of the distance limit for paintball monsters. That way there is an incentive to using them to hunt with friends across the world.I get that they want to promote local play, but MH isn't at the level of Pokémon. They can absolutely do both. Put more monsters in, make more region exclusive ones and encourage online hunting with party hunts and paintballs. I'd also either lower the price of paintballs or increase the amount of paintballs you get so that it seems like a far better value. It's not like they're a limited supply. It's a core component to the game and so far they made it completely unappealing because you hoenstly get jack shit. They're leaving money on the table by being overly stingy.I would absolutely buy paintballs if they were cheaper and I could hunt online. Hell, I'd be more willing to go paintball some for friends.
>game won't load anything if you have mock location enabledrip, it was fun while it lasted
What beginner gear has lock on? Kulu headpiece and rathian vambraces? Are some weapons better at breaking?
Really close to dropping the game. I knew it would happen but playing this in nature as the devs intended fucking sucks. spoofers for ios also seem dangerous and I can't be bothered to set up emulators, if those even work. The actual gameplay is surprisingly fun though. The simple combat works well and has some depth while still being casual enough for mobile.
Seems they've busted down on spoofing, nothing spawns anymore. Using real location works correctly.
Got paired up with a 52. Cheater?
>>1290487>>1290463Okay, overall today feels like I'm hitting a progression wall (can't even call it a paywall because there doesn't really seem be a way to power through with spending).I'm running a grade 4.2 kulu LS and can just about solo easier 4* mobs. Finding a party for 4* has gotten pretty challenging, and people often just get ohko'd and stay down. I'm comically under on power level to do 5*.Monster spawns have gotten pretty diluted so there's no practical way to farm someone specific, and it looks like the progression will be basically a couple upgrades a week, tops. My story quest is 4* Paolumu, which I probably can take down if/when all goes well, but so far I've lost twice narrowly running out of time due to low DPS. Went out of my way to get 2 kulus tonight, that's about all the real progress made.This doesn't seem accidental, but man was the honeymoon phase ending abrupt.

How are my fellow MH vets feeling about the various weapons? Not being able to sheathe and reposition with the GS makes it feel much weaker compared to actual games, while the hammer feels much more natural as a charging hit & run weapon in this. Thoughts?
>>1290877SnS: pretty fun, for now the only weapon with jump attacks which probably has evasive properties?GS: thought the same as you at first, but in retrospect evading here moves you a lot which makes it good enough for repositioning, and the tackle being available gives more confident players a decent option during charge (albeit painful if you mess up). Definitely need to invest in focus skills. Hammer: heavy and fast, no complaints. Probably the most unga of weapons after SnSLS: spirit gauge resetting after getting hit sucks. Atleast counters feel good, and it's nice for tail cutting.Don't have enough mats (or monsters) for proper testing of the ranged weapons, but LBG felt kind of weak. Probably just the barroth LBG sucking though, elemental bowguns are likely better. Not being able to move while reloading sucks too. Haven't tried out bows at all, hope it has that thing where evading charges up your shots. As a side, I'm probably just too dumb but how do you aim the reticle when using ranged weapons?
>>1290890>Not being able to move while reloading sucks tooIf you get a perfect evade it'll instantly refill the current ammo so you can technically stay on the same shot type the entire fight.>how do you aim the reticle when using ranged weaponsIt's gyro.
>>1290859Thanks. I feel like I have a decent grasp on the mechanics (some player/monster attacks having weird timings notwithstanding), my frustration is mostly to do with overall drop of progression pace.
>>1290713Not sure on actual stats but based on personal experience hammers seem to break parts faster.
>>1290850Maybe, I am 31 playing legit but only have gone for a walk once
>>1290487Any update or are you stuck attempting to grind 5*s?
>>1291034Further respawns were better (in the sense that I got a few 4*-and-under hunts to do every three hours without walking far. The pool still feels somewhat needlessly diluted, in the sense that it's not practical for me to party up for 5* hunts where I live, maybe I'll visit local metro station/market location that used to be popular for pogo raids or go to the park again on weekend.In other news, I managed a really smooth paolumu kill after getting moderately drunk
>Use third party app to spoof PoGo>When I have it installed I can't install MHNFuck.
Fucking timer.
Anything working on android after today's update? I don't wanna root my phone
>>1291129the app causing conflicts is pokemon go not the spoofing app
Game is kinda boring. HR25. I dont feel like hunting for drops to improve my gear every day
>>1291288>improve my gear every dayi havent upgraded anything but my kulu helmet for the main quest and im hr 28
>spoofing dies>half of the player base leavesa tale as old as time
>>1291321Oh god, walking, my one weakness. Faggot
>>1291348I'm not going outside, I'll get fucking stabbed.
>>1291348i am not spending a cent on mobile shit, not even on mobile data to play this thing
>>1291288The lack of gathering nodes is burning me out. I work from home so I've been going for hour walks 3 times a day and haven't been finding any of the materials needed to rank up my gear. No problem killing Rathian at this point but I feel like I'm making no progress.If there was a chance to gather high level materials from regular gathering points, even if it was microscopic, I'd feel better about it
>>1291355why are you even here
dragonite is a shite
>>1291361set up spoof gps route around your house and let it go during the night and hope your cat magically finds it. also will make him spend his blue balls.
>>1291362There is no safe spoofing any more.
>>1291355>spending on data>not having unlimited if you're actively playing phone gamesPost hand
>>1291386If I boot up the game normally and then start GPS Joystick, I can still move around my immediate area but it won't generate anything outside of it.Rinse and repeat. Unfortunately there are no gathering nodes right around me.
I like monster Hunter but I don't think I want to play a Niantic mobile game. Is it worth it?
>>1291428I don't think it is. The core is solid enough, but mobile game grind x monster hunter grind means that progression ends up feeling impossible.
>>1291428if you don't feel like playing a niantic game, then it's not worth it. It's a good niantic game, the monhun core is definitely better than the shitty one they dreamed up for pokemon that doesn't even feel like pokemon. but it is at its core still a niantic game, if you're not looking for an excuse to walk around at the very least around your immediate neighborhood, then it's not for you.
>>1291428its fun! its free so might as well see for yourself. if you're a MH fan its definitely worth dicking around.
>>1291428its up to you, its free but the grind is even worse.I need a tobi piece. guess which monster is refusing to show up and if I even find one is refusing to drop it.
>>1291416same for me, it seems if I go to far it defaults to my starting spot and stops loading things, I've just set it to walk around my neighborhood in a circle following the road.
>>1291428As someone who just uses it as a reason to go out and move, I think it's worth it.The rng can be lame, and it can slow you down a lot depending on what you have around you, spawns, etc.BUT if you don't care too much about how fast you progress, it's a reason to get outside and walk around on a regular basis.
>>1290611You got banned from MHN?

Complete quests such as snapping a picture of Diablos in AR mode to earn rewards.
>>1291560I don't even have diablos unlocked.
>>1291560this game has AR mode?
>>1291388its deep inside your mother's womb atm, sorry
>>1291566Yeah. Mercifully disabled by default, but the button is there.>>1291563>Even if you haven’t progressed in the main story quests, Diablos will appear as long as you have reached HR11.>Event Quests will automatically be made available to hunters HR11 and over in the Special Quests tab in-game.
>>1291569That's actually good. I was getting really annoyed that I can't progress because of where I live. Hilariously I live in the middle of forests and nature but because it's not a Park™ I just get regular levels of monsters and no gathering points.
did they change paolumu attack patterns? he seems to follow you when he shots himself while inflated
Referral code add me.9CCCFFN5
>>1291560>The only time i work is friday to sundayoh well guess i can't be allowed to do events ever.
For any mainline rawgods on the fence, I went ahead and made the girros sns with the pants and waistcoat for para +2 testing given what I'd seen about elemental damage in this, and am regularly getting at least two paras every hunt if they don't die first. I'm admittedly still early game (about at paolumu) so that may drop off significantly later on, but thus far it's consistent.
>>1291790Biggest problem with para is that any stagger instantly ends it. So say you paralyze a blos and go to smack its horns, you're doing head damage which has a high chance of ending it real fast.
>>1291787if pogo events are any indication, the quest should be easy enough to do for normies strolling through the park in a couple hours. Unless you're doing some hardcore 24hr shifts you should be fine, I expect.
>>1291814Clearly you didn't read the event info well because it's THREE FUCKING HOURS only per day.
>>1291829So? If you don't have a lunch break or work somewhere out in a field yeah you're sol (sorry), otherwise surely it'll be doable between two lunch breaks and loo time. Quests also seem to be continuous for the duration, 3h windows are for bonus spawns.
spoofie bros.... we got too cocky!
>>1291867Where did you get this? Email?
>>1291560How the fuck do I tell if something counts as a park?
>>1291875extracted the game assets, this was in the text with all the well, text, inside the game
>>1291878Try https://pokemongolive.com/community-day/map/?hl=en I guess. Generally niantic seems to have pretty robust geodata.
>>1291885>Nothing near meIts not like i wanted to hunt diablos anywaysAlso when are we getting some actual multiplayer or some shit?
>>1291878Generally if there's like 4-5 nodes in a small area, Niantic thinks it's a park.
>>1291890post qr codes of paintballed monsters. otherwise its local multi
>>1291895Wanna hear a funny joke? You have to be within 200m of the person's QR code for multiplayer to work.
>>1251545No effort still means they can use nay of the good music from past games , and thankfully it's goodI'm not sure if it's original or from a past jazz album but the shop music is very nice
>>1291898bro let me in
>>1291885can't make this shit up>wonder where the parks near me are>1 park in my city>zoom in>read street name>check number>double check number>triple check number>double check streetthe only park in my city is at the address of a brothel lmao
>>1291878I figured it was what google maps identified as a park ie green areas.
So I just received all pre-registration rewards although I actually registered a day after launch. Anyone else?
is it me or is SnS busted ? You can't really afford to take your time in this game, and positioning is a joke, so being able to block really, really fast is incredibly helpful. i've only once been out of potions and it's because i had been trying out greatsword
>>1291992I think it counts anyone who plays within the first month of release.
>>1292000SnS best feature is the fact you can block into perfect dodge. to early? you don't get hit go ham enjoy damage. to late? you blocked the damage enjoy follow up into ko damage. Perfect dodge? enjoy free damage. want to keep going ham while being attacked? use special because fuck you.
>>1292009truly. I tried longsword but it takes so long to sheathe you can't use it reactively, and damage was just a bit better. Hammer is very very fun though
but SnS looks gay...
>>1292020This. I'm using long sword because it's the coolest weapon. I wouldn't be against using bowgun or GS or even hammer but sword and shield and bow are lame.
>>1292020I don’t think there’s a more manly kill than hitting a mon with a right hook to the face
>>1292020this, really fucking gay. hammer and GS look the coolest, everyone knows it. LS looks 'cool' too if you like edgy anime
>>1292049Now I wish they would add knuckle dusters to monhun. I would be too similar to DB and SnS though.
>>1292049Shield dive kill is obviously cooler
>>1291992How do you get the pre-register rewards? I don't see a mailbox or anything in-game.
>>1292257in the shop
>>1291980Time to go for a Walk
>>1291885>only one park in my city and it's in the bullshit city centerwell fuck you
>>1292058There's tonfas in frontier I think.
>niantic yikesdragon quest walk is still the best
Game is neat, feels like it was made specifically for Sword & Shield though. Every time I open the game it feels like everything spawns in a perfect ring around my house, never anything on me, always have to walk as if the game knows I live in this spot.>>1292434DQ Walk was pretty cool when I tried it out, wish it had an english version.
>huge park near my houseIt’s not a park
Did they make the ring bigger in the update or am i just imagining things
so spoofing has been patched. so much for upgrading any of my gear
>>1292523You can still spoof kinda.First way is to load into the game first then start your joystick afterwards set to current location, it's very limited in that you can only roam around the area that's loaded but it's better than nothingAnother way people have said is that although the map is empty, you can still join hunts from invites, so set it to a busy place and walk around and get hunt invites from randoms
>>1292528woa you can get hunt invites from randoms? how do I check?
When someone initiates a hunt they have the option to send an invite out to nearby players (within 200m I believe). It'll show in the bottom left corner of the screen when you receive one, see picrel.
So I'm a bit confused on how lock on and breaking works. So lock on skill makes you lock on to a part? If you don't have that skill how are you supposed to attack specific parts? I'm finding it really hard to try and attack fr behind to get tail parts. And as for breaking how do I know when I'm close to breaking a part and how to break it? I've just unlocked great sword thinking it would be better for breaking parts but it almost seems like I've gotten worse.
>>1292540That sounds horrifying
>>1292541Just hit the part. you don't need lockon to break parts its just meant to help you keep swinging at that part, often times you won't hit it because you hit another part.when you break a part you will know by the text that appears saying you broke a part and getting extra drops.
>>1292546For breaking I mean how can I tell progress when it comes to breaking a part? It almost seems like breaking just happens at random rather than specific targets.
https://imgur.com/a/mIQQ7r4
>>1292552just like in the main game there is no progress indication. you just beat on it until it breaks
>>1292541>So lock on skill makes you lock on to a part?yes> If you don't have that skill how are you supposed to attack specific parts?with great difficulty, because lock on truly feels like it actually does hit the part even if you swing a bit away from it some; head and front legs can work w/o it but tail is a crapshootgreat sword works great w/ lock on i'd wagerget it asap, the game even teaches you about it so dw
>>1292552Make sure you're hitting parts that can break, and using the proper weapon to break it. I assume in this game, you cannot sever a tail without a blade
redeem it here:https://store.monsterhunternow.com/offer-redemption
>>1292582You're correct. If you look up in the bestiary, it tells you what parts are breakable with what.
>>1292060hell no that shit is corny. also we are talking manly. that shit aint manlier than a right hook to their face
>>1292057Hammer is boring AF. Always has been, minus a few real hitters like the axe style hammers and the giant viking block looking one..
>>1291992I registered and played on the 13th and I got nothing :C
>>1292656update your game anon
>>1292659oooo yeah i just did and came back to confirm. it works! very nice! ty
>>1291560they're still pushing the 3 hour event shit huh. fuck you niantic
>>1292528>Only walk around the area loaded in.Better than nothing I guess.
So what is the "best" weapon? Because of how limited resources are I feel bad trying different weapons. For those who are already in purple which did you use to carry you and what do you use now?
>>1292691LS and LBG, of course. It's monster hunter afterall
>>1292711Affinity seems kinda shit in this game though compared to elemental.
New strings added in today's patch.
Also these.
>>1292691i saw one youtube video that said SnS and LBG were in S tier. but who tf knows i use SnS cause its most fun.your item box is capped and you'll eventually cap pretty quick with hundreds of parts you aren't using so might as well just give them a try
>>1292751There's only one gathering node in my area, 2km away, so even if I have thousands of other parts I still won't be able to level up weapons past the first grade.
>>1292751was that before or after the massive SnS neft though?
>>1292760I had no idea they already made changes like that. So probably before? Not sure.
>>1292757It doesn’t take that much to grade up… but this probably isn’t your game if what you say is true
>>1292761Sometimes about two week ago SnS lost like 33% damage and most of its ability to break body parts
>>1292770>i currently need 24 bone + for an upgradeit builds up, a lot
>>1292770I just want to hunt monsters. Maybe I should just look into spoofing.
Report in with your HRCurrently HR30 on chapter 8Sharp Claws are a pain when I keep getting wingsrakes 90% of the time
>>1292750>Lance incomingEvery day we inch closer to the almighty boomstick
>>1292775anon said "thousands of parts" and "past first grade".... it doesnt take that much.
>>1292782HR34. Idc I’m upgrading this armor as much as I can until another offensive guard armor reveals itself. And no I’m not mixing pieces.
>>1292528so whats the goto spoofer? never messed with this
>>1292782Currently bashing my head against legiana quest (ch 10). The timings keep getting tighter because I was able to upgrade the sword for like three days now. Considering investing into elemental ones.
Some small mobs are now spawning so far away it takes 3~5 slides to get within melee range with them. Weird.
...
>>1292992Walking IRL isn't enough, now you even gotta walk in-game
Fucking diabolos. I have to upgrade these shitty paralysis weapons to grade 3 to even do any damage.
>>1292852What grade is your sword?
>>1293152Still 4.2. I've just trotted to the metro station because 2 3* kulus spawned there, and am now only 1 beak short of glorious 4.3. it's depressing
>>1292782I'm HR30.
>>1292782at chapter 4, im too lazy
>>1292782friend code if anyone wants to add228970053047
what are friends even for other than the referral bonus?
>>1293204no one knows
>>1293204Wish you could do something like send a random monster part to friends daily or something
>>1293223Sending friends a tied up Rathian.
>>1293247hot
>>1292770>>1292757I thought the gathering nodes where just pokestops. Is that the only way to find rare mats later? I thought you could just find shit by walking?
>>1293285Some stuff you can only find from gathering points within a certain biome. Like monster bone+ for example.
Finally killed Legiana (a perfect no-damage run with a whopping 2 seconds to spare). Took about half a dozen of failed attempts to finally learn it's moves. This goes against the ethos somewhat but since mosters are only unlocked after you bear them in a quest fight, I wish that fight was repeatable/rerunnable, without potions. Having to put the game down for an hour after each fight slows building up experience a lot.
>>1293294its a punishment, you either get good or empty your wallet
>>1293294>Get skill or get out the credit card.I set myself in a one first aid per monster limit, and only of they have less than 1/4 hp and at least 5 stars.I find hitting twice and dodging is the best way to go about it, and always target the head.>>1293247ANON NO.
Timed out on rathian, I guess it’s best if I wait before unlocking the 5*
>torrential rain and flooding all over the city>5 low rank kulus just spawned within walking rangeKeep me in your prayers lads, I'm getting that beak.
>>1293340Got it. Wanted to snap some photos, too, but it turns out I've encountered a g-g-g-ghost
So I see some breaks require certain weapons like hammer doing blunt damage. What do guns count as?
>>1293390they can break parts so i guess blunt without KO damage?
>>1293390>>1293396If it's like the games then guns have their own type of damage, blunt damage is differentiated by being able to knock out the monster if you hit the head enough times + has it's own visual effect. LBGs with slicing ammo do slicing damage and can cut off tails with them
>>1293333I'm with ya. She's hard blocking me from progressing
This game is to much fun but god damn getting hit fucking once kills the game.
>>1293591just make a divine blessing 5 set and stop crying
>>1293599I'm only level 15 and just got over being sick I've had no time to play.
didnt get hit once on diablos4/5 grade 4 s&s 364 dmg and 225 paralyzecould only get him down to around 15% hp.do i just need to level stuff more?
