Ok, I couldn't wait any longer. I created an account for the Canadian store and downloaded the game. Before I get too involved in this, though, is progress saved online? I don't want to invest too much time into this if I have to just start over when it hits the U.S. store.
Sheesh... Ok funny story. Was running with 3 others doing the Barioth Hard mission. Our third run actually, so we were confident with each other to take down barioth. 2 died when barioth had 3 bars left. The other dood (our biggest damage dealer) too him down proabbly halfway through his 50% bar, and he died too. Was playing for about 4 minutes before i died, dropping Barioth to his last bar of hp. It was vary difficult for me playing ONE HAND ON THE IPAD AIR, and i was holding my 7 month young baby on the other arm. When i lost all hp, the baby accidentally rapped on the screen and used a revive, when i only had 6 gems left. Then he became squirmy and naturally, i died easy. Im still playing the game even one-handed (again on an ipad ) coz i love playing MH, but i cant put the baby down as he's easily top priority.
Ok, so I've spent a little time with this over the afternoon. I have to say, this is pretty darn good so far. Much better than Dynamic Hunting was. I'm only at HR 3 right now. I've mostly just been farming the first equipment quest in order to collect one of everything it has to offer. Any tips on starting out?

^I have the barioth SNS too and it's best in multiplayer as when you trap the monster all 4 players can take advantage of it. In singleplayer though, i still prefer Brandish as it increases your DPS significantly, and well timed casts can open up for more damage, like when flinching a monster while it's flying or jumping. Even just flinching a monster with it can cancel a monster's attack animation.
I like Brandish too but it requires 3 orbs and 2* armor max can provid 2 orbs, short for one, except you mix armor type like what you did
90% of the time my armor choices are based on looks LOL. But yeah, the orbs needed to be mixed coz the rank 2 sets usually only have 2 orbs in them, and the rank3s have 3 orbs. Until we get full sets of rank3 items, we are left with mixing up sets. Still, doesnt change the fact that in singleplayer, Brandish and Quick (i think that's what it's called) are among the best skills to pick. In the end though, it all boils down to playstyle. That's where the fun is. And by item rank i mean the stars on the item.
I find the mini cutscene for new armor totally hilarious when you get a new piece of waist armor. # Does anyone know if progressed is saved to Game Center? When this hits the U.S. store, will I be able to download the app from there and continue on as normal? Or would I even need to redownload the game then? This is the first time I've ever picked up a game from another country's App Store, so it's all new to me.
I havent tested it entirely, but upon clicking the Import button, it game me an option to either restore to current device, or to a new device. I tapped new device, and it asked me whether to do it through facebook or game center.
Just a head's up, you need 12 of each easy materials in order to fully upgrade any of the 3 star items.
This game is awesome so far except I haven't had the chance to play coop yet. Seems liken no one plays
