Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (3DS, Wii U)

Is the method for getting those special weapons the same as in Tri? Date specific online events for unique items?

yep. its the same as all of them. just download the quest. its releaed on a specific date but you can do them anytime you want. only restrictions are whatever comes with it. sinister saints you can only take a max of 2 people. its easy though, only have to kill a narga, a rathalos and a zinogre, only hard part about zinogre is avoiding the brachydios that wonders around when he spawns. takes me about 15min with the brachydios gunlance. only get one ticket per run and it required 5 tickets to the make the sword.

there are a gun lance, Switch axe,Long Sword, a jacket, pants, glasses, and a mask for cha cha out now.

Hm, I think Tri might have been different than the PSP games?

In Tri, the servers cycled the event quests, and they were only available if you played online. You never downloaded a quest, and you couldn't play it offline at all. Fans made a calendar so you knew what was coming up.

The tickets were random too.. sometimes you could get 3 at a time and be done in 2 quests, but other times you could get insanely unlucky and get 0 tickets over 5 of the same quest while your friend would get 10 more than he ever wanted.

it now work the same as all the other PSP monster hunter games. you go online you download the quest and then you can play the question anytime you want and get a set ticket for each complete quest

im wondering how they are going to recolor/rename the pirate J armor. its my favorite looking armor. even if it is technically useless

[Hero]

yeah, tri cycled quests but Ultimate saves them to your memory and keeps them as long as you want.

I gave this a go on the Wii U with the data transfer. Was pretty fun, went up to HR3 in a few hours online (compared to the weeks it took me and my friend to hit 2).

indeed, because its a port of a portable, everything is a little weaker than it should be. im not having that hard of a time with anything realy. i mean i know im a vet, but im using a weapon i never really used, and even teh new monsters i have never fought like Gobul have been a cakewalk.

[Mzo]

It's been nerfed significantly since Tri.

[JBNagis]

indeed. i only in high rank, so im hoping g rank is more of a challenge. i dont even have 400 armor though and even Diablos isn't hitting that hard. maybe black tigarex will give me a challenge......crap there is no black tiga. well ill have to rely on Stygian Jinouga i guess.

Well at least MH4 and its virus mode looks to be a step up. and who knows how difficult MHO will be. i hope if it does come out here i can play offline. i dont always want to rely on 3 other aholes to get stuff done.

If MHO is set up like every other online small party dungeon crawler game such as PSO2, Vindictus, Diablo III, Warframe, etc., it'll be a required permanent connection but you can still go into any level solo if you want.

Someone made a android a for MH3U. its basically a gamefaq/brady guide quick look. all the monster weaknesses are offline, but you have to be connected for the weapon trees. doesnt have teh item list and the armor/ armor skills yet. but its pretty usefull.
