speaking of which, apa armor is fire resistant? my ludroth is like -15

As much as i would like to claim that it was my many many hours of trapping experience that lead me to conclude that rath would come back for her tail... what actually happened was i saw the tail and decided to carve out a mcdonalds but pressed the wrong button

Best moment in gaming for years, those five minutes.

On an unrelated note, I ate two fireballs last night. Both instant KO Seems that anything less than full health when hit means curtains for me... i wonder if it is due to my -15 fire resistance and low defence, being a gunner? I've put a shield on my bowgun, do shields stop or lessen fireball damage?

most times i just let the beastie charge me head on, i seriously don't quite mind taking the hit, especially when i've loaded them 'special' bullets. Hate the fact that you can carry so few of those (only 5 cluster shots ) Getting a headshot with those is worth the pain, esp online when there is sometimes a bit of lag.

Oh, sorry gundam for shooting you with the exhaust shot last night. Saw you gulp a potion straight after - it drained all your stamina?

but rath and her man spit fireballs at gunners
which means its a bad bad idea to run towards a gunner and gulp a potion anywhere near him! I've had a fellow hunter roasted the very same way!

Let's do Lagi then. I still need a plate!

i want to hunt the red dragon.

we hunt blue water dragon and then when everyone hits 18 we hunt flying red dragon.

we met a dragon like thing with a giant mouth, fugly as hell yesterday when mining ores. too bad we dinnae manage to kill it.

i'd take extra bullets over extra luck anyday!

ok since i'm still hitting you guys, i will stop using the rapid fire ammo and change to single shots. that should help

i rapid fire piercings, and i do aim high but i guess in the water it's a different story. i hit nyx more than i hit gundam cause gundam's quite consistent in his attack approach, nys using a s&s is understandably more mobile!

p.s. it'll take a while before i learn all of you guys attack patterns some of you guys are very methodical, some are a lot more haphazard

if the monster has wings, you guys will knwo where i am going to be aiming at!
and at all times try not to run across my line of sight! you don't want to be hit by one of my cluster shots (which i normally use when the beastie starts to drool euuuu or limp).

nyx, it's ok. there is no need to get between them and me. you'd get shot that way
like i mentioned, sometimes i sacrifice a little bit of health for the headshot!

diablo 3 out soon. time to claim new computer from tax office

H1 - Hammer Guy (head!)
H2, H3 - The Sword users (tail and whatever bits that stick out)
H4 - Gunner


I suppose this is ideal, but not always possible in the heat of things.
Cause I am usually a bit further from the monsters, I noticed in online games (not necessarily with you guys cause i do play online A LOT) the LS users swat everyone else No one seems to use the poke move, all swing swing aje

Let's just say that even as a gunner I've been on hunts where the LS guy slices me in two!

Need to hunt more monsters for more monster parts to make weapons to hunt more monsters.
Barbaric

Ok, on preferences,

1) My 1st shot will always be a paint marker. My 2nd and 3rd will normally be stamina draining shots if the baddie is indeed badass enough... i hit gundam with one of these b4 and i think it zero's your stamina!
2) I will normally stay back (around 5 rolls away from the baddie) and shoot the flanks and wings.
3) If they face me, i will try to pull off a headshot when they charge.
4) If they miss, i will mostly turn around and shoot their butt
5) And then I will flee.
6) When the baddie is near death i will use cluster or crag shots, hopefully to finish it off quick.
7) I will shoot any trapped monsters with tranqs, hopefully to the head.

Dang, I forgot about Starcraft scheduled b4 Diablo. I hate Starcraft. With a vengeance.
The closest thing to diablo 2 recently was Borderlands, but that got old quite fast, with the rampant hacking and cheating.

I sometimes wish that Monster Hunter was on a more powerful platform, imagine non vaseline smeared graphics and 8 player hunts perhaps?

they can make the monsters 10x more badass.

Make it event only or online only?

hmm... then perhaps they can have the difficulty scale according to the number of players? but it already does that now doesn't it?

actually me neither.

i am looking to upgrade my armor with a bit more resistance and slots. My new toy pulls to the right, and it is annoying having to deliberately aim left. You guys would have noticed some of my shots flying in a strange curve last night I wanna add more precision jewels, but am short of a lagi plate, a fire stone iirc and some dragonite ore.

Let's farm lagi!

Btw, how do you guys with block do it? I now have a shield part which means autoblock, but not the guts to stand still and do nothing when charged

Also usb keyboard has to be plugged in before you turn on the wii? I plugged one in during play and it didn't work?

the keyboard cable's a bit too short, so do you guys use wireless ones or risk going blind sitting 2 feet away from the LCD?
