Monster Hunter 3 (Tri-) - Wii

[MisterBubbles]

kryss are you using geko for the Wii or did you set up your japanese Wii at your new home, im not too sure how to do it or i'd defiantly join you.

[kryss]

I'm using my Japanese Wii. Have you gone online at all yet?

[kryss]

117 hours and got the end credits in offline mode.

->Open Spoiler<-

You have to fight off a giant beasty call "Naputadeus". Then you get a cut scene of the villagers welcoming you back and the credits.
The offline quests only go up to ***** and I still have a couple left to do. Then Urgent quests are added where you have to fight 2 big monsters.

I'm going to be spending more time online I think as you can make better stuff that way. Which is a bit of a shame as it does kind of detract from the offline mode.

Edit:

Just finished the *** urgent quest online.

->Open Spoiler<-

Oh my god! Fantastic fun! We kicked the crap out of Jien Mooran 4 times and all cleared the quest!
HR31 and onto the Master servers I go!

[kryss]

Just about to crest 250 hours now and got to HR60.

Having beaten every monster in the game, it does get a little boring. The enjoyment only comes from hooking up with a crew of friends and going hunting, or doing event quests to get special weapons (like my special JUMP Pirate J Axe, heh heh heh).

Problem is the guys I usually hang with haven't be on this weekend so I kind of wandered between groups fighting particular monsters trying to get items to make better weapons. Bloody ryuudama! (Wyvern's Stone according to wikia) I need 3 more to make my Soul Breaker and just can't seem to get them...

I've seen guys online at HR212 and can't imagine them actually spending that much time online since August 1st. Every once in a while Capcom flashes up a message about playing with altered data being against the rules of the online service so you have to wonder.

Some videos I made today:

I reached the credits in offline mode last week. I've clocked just shy of 80 hours so far and haven't even touched the online side of things. Although it's one of my favourite games of 2009, I'm a little bit disappointed with the small amount of monsters and weapons compared to Freedom Unite/2nd G.

I'm hoping to go online for the first time within the next week or so, when and how often are the event quests held?

[kryss]

Event quests are on between 12pm and 4am Japan time every day. But if you haven't been online you won't be able to do many as you won't have a high enough Hunter Rank.

Some online videos I made last night:

Do you only need to online ID to add friends or the other (i think it said) support code as well?
I just started (and started my online trial) on thursday, but still really noob. Only just got the rudorossu set and about HR7 i think.

[kryss]

I'm pretty sure just the online ID can be used to find a player IF they are online. Then you can message them and invite them to become friends.

I'll try and be on tomorrow, feel free to look me up.

Cool, mine is 2W6UDX . I'm just gonna spend some time farming ores but i'll be online a bit later.

[kryss]

I'm on right now btw.

[kryss]

And with a heavy heart I must hang up my online playing of MH3 (J-version) at HR130 as my Hunter's Tickets have finally run out. If I don't stop now I never will. I thank all who have been with me on my journey, especially Takuya and Zeon, with whom I beat Jien Moran and the Albatorian, and KusoGaki and Nisa, who were with me in my final quests.

BUT!

I shall return in MH3 (E-version)! To hunt, to capture and to win! Pack your slash axe, it's going to be one hell of a ride.

[Nisa]

Cheers for the help last night mate. Fetch quests are incredibly dull so I was glad to get through them a lot more quickly with you guys. Chances are I'll be picking up the Euro version as well so I'll join you and any of the other guys around here when it finally arrives.

[kryss]

Any weapon/monster combos people want to see? I'm game to requests, but can't go online anymore

I have just preordered the US version but have a little question about leveling up...is it possible? I mean, I was never really interested in Monster Hunter before and all the knowledge I have comes from screenshots. Kriss, you said you prefer the bowguns, how does that plays out in the game? You just pick a weapon in the beginning and then work out the stats as you level up to improve your character's specific weapon handling or you pick the weapon you like and from there you work your player skills with the weapon, level ups increase your health and stats but do not corner you into a weapon speciality, making possible to switch weapons between levels or based on the mission you have?
