what's wrong with maining hunting horn?

why every room i join, even low rank ones would kick me when they saw my 'trumpet'

i'm not sure about the reason behind all those preemptive kicking i had encountered, probably because i'm only HR14 (low ranking because i started late last month, played on and off along with other hobbies and due to work) and my total usage of hunting horn isn't even reaching 100 (that's also total quests and investigations i done so far); as for those kicks happened in rooms hosted by hunters whose rank is lower than me, probably due to my sub par defense (lv4 pink rathian beta set, about 300 def)?

so far i'd only managed to party twice (with friend who had concern of me with zora, then later nergi fights) and often times i feel reluctant to join other people's room (once being in a room full of ang-mohs but no one taking any quests, and the rest were just kicks).

from what i discovered from using hunting horn is the increase attack output and move fluency compared to previous mh series. the buffing move still locks player up with animation, but kaput-con added hunting horn to trigger additional damage (and exhaust/ stun?) during buff, if the horn is close to the monster. the complain about hunting horn having slow attack speed (and long swing animation) is actually offset by it's reach and wide swings. also, it's the 2nd weapon which won't bounce when hitting hard points (first one being hammer)

comes to think of it, the kicks i experienced probably be attributed to hunting horn's wide swing arc and the hunting horn pound? but that would mostly contributed to bad positioning (and from experience, 80% would just do their combos at places where better suited by hammer/ hunting horn/ lance/ gunlance, which is head area), plus for other players tripping them off their combos are always bad but everything is fine when they trip other players

** note: i mostly main hammer in other series, except for mh3g where i spent time using lance and with mhw where i exclusively use hunting horn...

soz for the late, late reply... had a fleeting sense of not visiting LYN some time ago, and now i'm back

i usually be playing around 9:30pm till 1am (except friday, playing MTG) and once a while jump into SOS groups to doot doot (with less success). i should be easily contactable (since my PSN card is available), just add me when you feel like playing

recently got myself up to HR 60+ and was somewhat active in some small HK/MY group. i'm still looking for a decent set (my set currently runs maestro, max atk, max KO, max stealth and max wide range)

fixed

btw, done with my dooting days, hammer still good but lack luster due to may peeps would just push me and prevent me from smacking the head so i went and try bow

can the control scheme be change to something similar to "old psp" bow control? i find myself equip/ unequip coatings (where the charge used to) and doing epic shots when i just wanna shower pallets to stagger and cause people to cart

done with extreme behemoth few weeks back with few known peeps, i just did what usually i did in MMO: healing

i basically made a all-out healing gear, using doki-doki, oni-nitro, nitro and para shrooms for basic buffs, doot doot doot for extra atk up stack and basically just do what people do best in soul series: keep rollin' rollin' rollin'...

the healing items needed to be replenished whenever behemoth changed zones and buffs were reapplied every time i met up with the team. the whole team never did the silly ff tele emo and relied on the boulder so the positioning and buffs are essential for the whole fight

fortunately the whole fight claimed no casualties, and i had provided about 300+ of heals and buffs

the regular groups i joined were semi-retired, waiting for the autumn event

need any healer dooter?
