| irstupid said: well going to stop by best buy tonight and pick this game up, been reading a few pages on this to kidn of get a feel for what's up. so a few questions. Also to note: this is my first ever monster hunter game. 1) What's this HR? Is that your level or something? 2) Is offline and online characters different? 3) All weapons/classes or whatever this game calls shit balanced enough, or is there something I should stay away from? thats all for now, reading back from page 103, so maybe see more questions when get back to present |
1) Sort of. It's closer to Rank in competitive online games. You get points for succeeding quests, and negative points for dying, but the negative points are insignificant. There are certain milestones of hunter rank that allow you to get to new quests, like at 9, 18, and 31
2) Nope. You use the same character that shares the same items, but advances in one side don't match advances in the other. If you're HR 31 online, but never tried off, still expect to start harvestin' those shrooms.
3) It goes by preference. Most people prefer to stay away from being a gunner, but that creates a demand for gunners because they are quite useful. I prefer Lance and Longsword. Each has its own style with its own strengths and weaknesses, but it varies so greatly from boss to boss and from person to person that there's really nothing to speak of here.
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
