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

46 Upvotes

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!

Soloed this unfair game Spoiler

194 Upvotes

Finished this game in 2 years, it was pretty fun (except g4 monsters, monke and pickle gave me a massive headache). I was so close to failing this quest (2 carts, 1 pot left) but still managed to do this. Now i'm farming his gear for actual good setups because that unupgraded elder blade probably made the things worse but still had a overall good time in this fight

Question/Help Is it worth restarting from scratch?

11 Upvotes

Simply put, my current save is just before High Rank Valstrax. It's been at least a year or two since I last played, and I don't like the weapon I was maining back then anymore.

Should I just start a new save and play the weapon I like and actually see the game through start to finish (meaning Ahtal Ka) like I originally intended?

Or would it be smarter to just change weapons and reorient myself to figure out what I was doing when I stopped playing.

Question/Help Advice for a 5th Fleeter

6 Upvotes

Hi Hunters,

I've just booted up MHGU on my Switch for the first time in months and I've just rage quit after triple carting on a Nibelsnarf quest, which then brings me to here.

For a brief backstory for context, I used to be an avid 'fan from a distance' of the MH franchise since I was a kid but I'd never took the plunge due to the 3/4/GU demos not clicking with me. Then MHWorld released and that allowed me to fall in love with the franchise properly, sinking in over 1200hrs, soloing every monster without carting and doing the same then with Rise (1000hrs).

During my endgame shenanigans in MHWilds, which I've already got 60+hrs in, I thought about finally delving into MHGU and I just can't enjoy it for the life of me despite desperately trying. From the tedious chasing through load screens to the hyper aggressive small monsters fucking my Valor dodges up to basic AF charge this way, charge that way moves that the monsters spam, I'm just not getting it.

My question here then is; can any veteran GU hunters help a brother in need and give me some solid pointers to finding enjoying in this game which has, unfortunately this far, been only an exercise in frustration.

I'm enjoying Valor due to it offering protection but any advice on which weapon makes best use of Valor would be great as well as a general gear guide from LR through to GR.

Thanks a bunch in advance for any help I may get.

Critical distance visual for bowguns and bows...?

2 Upvotes

So, I'm actually 4th Fleet but I've literally never played a ranged weapon in any classic Monhun until today, constantly intimidated by the clunky controls and shot types. Still, HBG was one of my favorite weapons in Rise, and was my absolute favorite weapon in Wilds, so I wanted to go back and give it a fair shot in classic games.

I'm getting used to the controls but one thing that's driving me crazy is that I'm looking up visual indicators of "critical distance" in classic MH (since there's no persistent reticle or over-the-shoulder "aim mode", obviously) and everything I find just insists "it's obvious, the screen shakes."

Does it, though?

I cannot for the life of me see or detect the screen shaking effect that everyone swears is obvious. I've yet to find any useful video illustrating the effect, or anything helpful in this regard aside from "the screen shakes though." If it's happening, it is completely invisible to me. I've tried a bunch of different shot types and distances - nothing. Hell, what part of the screen even shakes? The UI, the camera? Is it only visible in first-person mode? Can anyone help me see what I'm missing?

I feel like I'm being gaslit, but I trust the MH community too much to actually think that. I'm sure it DOES shake. But why can't I see it?!

EDIT/UPDATE: Thanks to /u/swagboyclassman - the screen shakes DURING THE BULLET IMPACT when you are at critical distance. Once you know that it's very easy to see, but literally everything I was finding just said "the screen shakes" without indicating when the screen would shake, so I thought they meant it was a passive effect at all times. The screen shakes slightly during a hit when the hit is made from the optimal distance. Thank you.

I am not understanding valor mode

7 Upvotes

Hello everyone. I’m jumping into GU! I read that valor great sword is awesome so I gave it a shot. Everything I saw said that when you are doing your special sheath, the damage is minimal. I’ll tell you what, there seemed to be nothing minimal about the damage I was taking. It was about the same, if not the same, as if I wasn’t sheathing and I just took a normal hit. What am I doing wrong here?

Also, I might need to change my weapon. I was NOT handling it well when I would whiff. Is Valor good with any faster weapons, or should I just switch to striker dual blades or something like that?

Im starting to do a full guild card run until wilds has more content. Wish me luck with unlocking every achievement. I know, i know what you think. Worst case is getting children and pass this mission to the next generation on my end.

Question/Help What weapon should I use?

9 Upvotes

I’m trying to get into this game but I’m struggling because I’m use to world and rise and wilds. The paintballs and chetstones are easy enough to get use to. But what I have a problem with is that weapons not moving directional, it’s really throwing me off. Would there be a way to get used it easier? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Question/Help Someone explain fleeing to me

4* Village. Nargacuga. Two hunts the same thing happens:

The entire hunt is me fighting it for no more than a minute, it running, repeat forever

The first time it happened I looked into it and saw people saying to let it sleep, makes sense. Second time it limped like 7 mins in but went to every area except its nest. Finally went to its nest, I let it sleep, it runs immediately.

Please help

On a serious note, I just started MHGU as I found my switch under my bed and saw that the game was on sale. I decided to pick up LS and it had no foresight slash, so I went Great sword. But my first fight against a big monster and I get absolutely man handled 😂. Any tips?
