I've only hit high HR ranks because of the awesome people on this forum helping me hunt. I have a bunch of awesome team screenshots. It's REALLY satisfying when you defeat a tough monster but when you do it with friends it's even more satisfying. It takes a lot of strategy and dodging but ultimately the game feels very rewarding despite the difficulty. And there's different monsters with varying difficulties so even if you can't beat some there are always other variations you can have you fun with.
Good luck through all the tutorials. Hopefully we'll get to hunt together sometime. In game I'm Shides.
You go to the Gathering Hall in game. Select online Gathering Hall. Create your own room by giving it a number and then telling your friends you're in (277972 for instance) whatever room. They'll go to online Gathering Hall and putting that number in, and they should jump into the same hall. You don't need to be on the same wifi. But you both do need to be on wifi I believe.
This video has a good explanation though it's not the iOS version and I'm not 100% sure on how to/if you can add friends https://youtu.be/5KHm1I_RWS4 I've just picked this up and 'AfroSam' will be on later if adding friends is a thing then feel free. Game looks great and can't wait (sleep now)
This game plays to me like dark souls. I'm happy I bought this game. Excellent with my mfi and touch control alike. Thank you Capcom for giving me dark souls. Not infinity blade, but actual dark souls!
I keep trying to get into this game but the learning curve is not noob friendly. What is the main appeal of this game?
Thanks for the advice, i'll stick with the longsword then until i learn the game better for the bow. E-P, but the lock on camera is only for boss monsters, or am i wrong and there is some way to lock on to everything? When those pesky antekas and giapreys jump left and right, i need the camera swipe to face where they are and swing fast Edit: as for its appeal? I haven't played any MH games before, but this is full preimuim, 100s of hours ARPG where you hunt and craft everything yourself overpowering strong dinos and dragons. That did it for me
I main the long sword. I love it. We should try to hunt together sometime! I should test if the wifi rooms are working. You can only lock on to boss monsters but you'll get used to rotating the camera. After a few hours it'll become natural. In fact if you manually move the camera you can get a prefect view of the battle the way you want it. It's just during boss battles things may get too hectic.
Thanks L.! i'd love to hunt together, but i think it's embarassing to go on my starting gear with a veteran Would it really be ok?
Well I haven't played for a LONG time so I'll be trying to relearn the game And I also played with veterans like EP when I first started to help me out. In fact, to kill the Tigrex we got a 4 man team for hunting. It took me a very very long time until I could solo the Tigrex, and even now it's still really hard for me. But if you do hunt with higher ranked people, generally you can finish the harder quests and get better equipment a tad faster. You can also see what kind of monsters you'll be up against later.
I wouldn't exactly call it noob unfriendly. It does have tutorials and it does start you off with simple tasks. You know, gather herbs, kill these harmless animals for meat, don't get killed by the huge raging dinosaur suddenly charging at you, and so on. It's just steep. The large monsters are effectively bosses, and there's not much you can do to progress if you can't beat a required hunt. There are no levels that you could grind out to make it easier, and the kind of gear you can have is limited by which monsters you have defeated. If you fail, you have to do it the hard way, git gud and figure out how to beat the monster. No handouts. But you can practice as much as you want. Monster Hunter is Boss Fights: The Game for people who like hard boss fights in action games with deep combat mechanics. It's satisfying to beat a monster that destroyed you effortlessly the first time you tried to fight it, because you know that the game doesn't pull any punches and the only thing that improved is you. It's satisfying to build an armor set out of monster parts, because you go from "this thing is scary" to "I'm farming this now" and you know you can only do that because you learned the fight and got good at it. For people who enjoy this sort of thing, MHFU has hundreds of hours of this type of gameplay. I'm not joking: According to howlongtobeat.com, it takes 90-ish hours to rush the main story.
Also, I was playing without updating 2 days ago and I could hunt online with others no problem. But then yesterday, I went on a couple quests and right at the beginning there was a pop up that said the time was down to 10 mins then another that the time was down to 5 mins. A couple mins later the quest failed because of time. So after those, I updated the app and haven't had a problem since. Whew.
Personally, I don't care who borrowed from who - cool story bro? I'm just thrilled I have dark souls type game on my phone/tablet. Now if only soul calibur would update to mfi control and provide online my universe would be in sync.
