MHGU - Share your discord servers or send invites to people here!

Hi, hunters!

Because we don't allow individual Discord server advertisement posts, this is a megathread so that users can still post their Discords or try to find other hunters to play with!

This thread will have strict crowd control turned on, and you cannot advertise for any servers dedicated to emulators.

If you want to post in this thread, you must have:

  • Joined the community / subscribed to the subreddit
  • Not be a new user
  • Not have negative karma within the subreddit

This will hopefully ensure that all of the discord spam accounts/bots are not able to comment, and we can keep users safe.

Anyways, throw your discords in here, or state if you're looking for people to hunt with.

If you have any questions or need assistance, just send me a DM. Thanks!

Announcement Subreddit Rule Reminder: No emulation discussion

88 Upvotes

Hello, hunters!

This sub has seen a drastic pickup in traffic due to MH Wilds.

Need to remind everyone that we have an important rule 5: No emulation discussion.

MHGU is a Nintendo Switch game, and is on sale very frequently (currently $10 on the Nintendo store for years of content).

Reddit rules prevent discussion for trading illegal goods and services, so this rule is really just an extension of Reddit's Rules to protect our subreddit from getting in trouble with the admins.

Thanks and happy hunting!

I’ve played this game across 3ds, switch, and then finally means that must not be named. Hundreds of hours poured into this game to finally get to this point. I’m nowhere near done, those hypers and the rest of the deviants aren’t gonna hunt themselves. The hunt MUST go on! Good luck out there hunters!

Online hub etiquette and players to watch out for:

Upvotes

Seems like the release of Wilds has attracted a lot of new players to the older MH games, especially this one.

Wanted to throw out a small list of things that will help you be a decent team player and how to spot people trying to railroad you into carrying them.

  • check the hub names and ranks of players before joining. If you’re trying to go from hr2 to hr3, and everyone else in the hub is 3 or higher, you might be better off creating your own lobby and asking for help. Everyone else is trying to rank up too.

  • take turns posting quests. Turn order is generally determined by order joined. The player list on the right side of the screen goes from first to last joined, unless players have left.

  • if you really want to post a quest as soon as you join a lobby, it doesn’t hurt to ask. Most people will probably be okay with it.

  • try to do your meowster hunter and farm stuff quickly. It’s fine to take a moment but don’t spend several minutes making people wait every quest.

  • if you’re going to be gone for a few minutes, just say brb in chat. Most people will be fine with waiting.

  • overall, just play fair and respect everyone else’s time as well as your own.

Don’t let yourself get railroaded into finishing up other people’s stuff and not getting any of your stuff done. Don’t be afraid to kick people who aren’t playing fairly.

Any tips for a mandatory solo player?

12 Upvotes

I say mandatory because I play on switch and I don't have switch online which means no playing online
I do wanna eventually get to fighting every single monster if I can but well, i'll have to do it solo (This includes the gathering hub) I am also one fo the ones from modern MH and this is my first ever classic MH game

Any tips?
Weapon recommendations? (I'm using hammer so far and it seems to be treating me well,

Question/Help I keep timing out on the first hunt.

60 Upvotes

So I got into the series through Worlds and Rise and after finishing the stuff for Wilds, I wanted to give MHGU a shot.

I got in game and tried the first hunt on the Great Maccao and promptly timed out before killing it. I tried the hunt a second time and timed out again.

I knew the older games are supposed to be harder, but I didn't expect the timer to be such a big concern, especially when it's a 50 minute countdown.

Am I doing something wrong? Or is just how the series was before worlds?

Edit: I'm stupid. I was in the multi-player section. Thank you to everyone for the help!

Question/Help Good Prowlers

Upvotes

Hello!

I have a new friend and I want to main Prowler while I play with him. Any advice on how to build a good Boomerang Prowler? Maybe a good guide, or if anybody has good ones they'd wanna share?

Thank you for the help!

Edit: armor and weapon recommendations are welcome, and I'd be super interested in a Bomber Prowler too if anybody can help with that!

Question/Help Best way to get reacquainted with GU?

4 Upvotes

So after playing Wilds for a while and with only one PS5 in our house my partner and I were craving some local co-op and so we might be getting back into GU but its been a long time since we last played it.

We left off at G-Rank 1 star quests. We were both enjoying the hell out of Prowler last time and how quickly we could get gear and just progress but I have some vague memories of the HR Elder Dragons being really tanky / feeling like our DPS might have been lacking.

Does Prowler begin to fall off in duos for G Rank or will we be fine still using them to progress?

If I were to switch back to being a hunter what are some early G-rank weapon lines and armor sets I should aim for? In 3rd gen and earlier titles I tended to main lance and SnS. Suggestions for which hunting styles to get acquainted with for those? Also I love burst gunlance in Wilds, will I have a similar time learning gunlance again in GU or was it still more like its clunky MHF2 debut? (And apologies to GL mains if I’m remembering it being clunky wrongly, that was like 20 years ago!)

Question/Help Hunting Horn tips to complete quests faster?

2 Upvotes

So ive been playing this game for like, 10 years lol but no matter how hard i try i feel like i cant help but get slower times with HH. but i mean like WAY slower, at least double the time solo.

i dont corner horn, i attack the monster as much as i can but i can admit i am a cautious player. i usually use valor style and try to squeeze in as many recitals as possible cause i thought that maybe they were the steongest moves but now im starting to doubt that.

also i find it extremely hard to stun but i think thats an issue with me not being able to aim

any tips about any aspect of the weapon or playing with with are appreciated!

Help with crafting

1 Upvotes

Hello there, a while ago I transferred a Generations save game from 3Ds to Switch, but it doesn't let me craft many weapons and armor even having the materials needed for them, to give an example, I have the materials to make the Yu Gi Oh Dark Magician armor and weapon for the palyco, but it doesn't let me craft it, is it because I have to do the event here so I can craft it even having the materials? It happens to me like this with more things, it's worth noting that I'm doing the village quests and I haven't played events or other types of quests on the Switch, on the 3ds I did them. Thanks in advance

TIL the Barrel Bombs pack a punch

32 Upvotes

So, I was out hunting a Gypceros, as you go, trying to get a Novacrystal from breaking its head ornament, and I do, and I go in for the capture. I then realize I forgot tranq bombs, so I just decide to place some large barrel bomb+, and… well frankly nearly killed myself, but took out the Gypceros.

Not to self from now on, when using barrel bombs, blow them up with a paint ball from a distance

Question/Help Which Weapon + HS has no Forward Attack (and ideally a fast/no sheathing attack)?

6 Upvotes

Heya,

yeah coming from LBG, my biggest gripe with getting into blademaster weapons has been how sluggish they can feel, especially in regards to endlag and being stuck in place. I especially dislike the sheathing and forward + X attacks as I'd rather first position than getting swinging right away for the former, and the latter usually being very slow moves that leave you wide open on a very easy to press button combination.
Striker Hunting Horn seems fun for being a surprisingly fast weapon with a simple moveset devoid of combos to get stuck in, but I have seen not a single soul speak fondly of it which deters me...

Question/Help Why the hell is it so hard to get Crit Draw?

0 Upvotes

Im at village NINE and STILL cant get this damn skill. I've been wanting it since low rank by the only conceivable way I can see myself getting it is by putting on a bunch of Draw lv 1 gems (which i think i still wouldn't have enough). This is what I hate about this skill system compared to World. Getting skills should not be this much of a herculean task.
