The Bnahabra is the flying bug right? How do you kill them so they don't explode? Is it random?

Certain attacks have a chance not to, I believe, and that problem is also why I listed Giggi.  Altaroth also can drop Monster Fluid, too.

As far as problems online go, Mop it up has looked at it a little bit, and she's found something along the lines that suggests the servers have some sort of minor flaw that repeatedly blocks certain IP addresses.  Something like that.

return it for a different copy and see if it was just a faulty disc.

if that doesn't work, then call Capcom directly instead of posting on their website.

But before you do any of that, call Nintendo Customer Support or goto their support website

[Mop it up]

He has already done both called Nintendo and tried the support site and sent an email.

It isn't a problem on his end. All of his Internet devices work fine, and he can even pay other online Wii games with no issue. He isn't the only once experiencing the problem, quite a number of people haven't been able to connect since the game's launch. All of them get one of two error codes, 11613 or 11619. It is clearly a problem with Capcom's servers, I read about a technical explanation from someone who experimented with it and they said something about the firewall blocking certain ISPs or IP addresses with no real reason, or some such technical garbage that I don't understand. Bottom line is, there is an issue with the servers and Capcom won't admit it.

If you use poison bombs they don't explode, or poison shots with the bowgun.

There was an issue with RE spinoff shooters and Capcom won't admit it.

This.

Or maybe Capcom is very quietly trying to fix the issue behind the scenes and won't address it publicly until it has been identified and fixed.

[Toruresu]

Here's hoping that's it BnM. At the Capcom forums, users have identified the problem and even pointed out to Capcom how to fix it. It just seems like they won't say/do anything about it.

[NinGurl69 *huggles]

"hope" and "capcom" is like unknowingly throwing your money into a fraudulent investment scheme.

I believe one advantage of sword and shield is that you can use items without holstering your weapon.

I want to try the switch axe but I never seem to find monster liquid.

Altaroths drop that if they're full (generally they drop stuff when they're full, wait for them to eat at a resource patch). Either go for a quest that has you hunt them or go free hunt so you get even more stuff after you're done.

[Stratos]

I've slayed a dozen giggi and no fluid. Hence my frustration. I got loads of it and got rid of it until I discovered a use for it and now I can't find any. I'll try the bugs and Altaroths.

Toruresu, is your Wii updated to the most current system update? I'd try and run the system update check and see what happens. I know it's supposed to force you to run it at the games boot up but maybe that failed for some reason and you need to do it manually. Only thing I got.

I'm going online shortly if anyone is game. I still haven't played with half of the people on here who have the game.

[KDR_11k]

Hm, the long sword seems to give pretty fast and powerful attacks. BTW, does anyone know if stunning a monster with your weapon's stun power (the electric shock stuff) lets you tranq them? It certainly looks the same as the effect of a shock trap.

[Toruresu]

My system is up to date. I believe the problem could be at Capcoms end.

[BlackNMild2k1]

Did you try trading in the disc for another copy? Maybe it's the game disc.

did you try calling Nintendo customer support or contacting Capcom?
I'm sure they could help you.

[Toruresu]

Did you read my post?

I spent over 2 hours with Nintendo Support, called Capcom and they pointed me to Nintendo Support. I posted at the Capcom Support website, no meaningful reply yet.

I haven't used a different disc. Could a disc problem cause this? I'll try with a different disc later today and I'll take my Wii to a friends house, to see if I can connect there. He uses the same ISP and router as me. He can play, I can't.

I tried it once: no luck. :-(

That is incorrect, though it can be sheathed pretty quickly.

This is why you should never get rid of things you don't think you need (unless maybe you have more than 99, then you can sell some). You never know when you might need the materials for something, as there are quite a few things that require some random stuff.

No, paralysis is not the same as a shock trap.

I seriously doubt it, but this is Capcom so you never know.

[Armak88]

I'm pretty sure you can use potions and the like without sheathing your sword and shield.

[rbtr]

You can, if you hold down block, and press the sheath button, you'll use the item instead.  Another good thing about the sword and shield!

I promise I have no vendetta against you, Mop it up!   

[Mop it up]

You clearly do, but it is okay. Many members here don't like me.

The knife is a good starting weapon but it just can't keep up on higher-level quests. It is better to learn a more powerful weapon as all of them will prove much more useful if you can. There is a reason I haven't seen any high-rank players who use a knife.

I've seen a handful on my friend's ID (he's waaaaaaaaaay ahead of me  ).  From the single-player mode, I get the impression that the sword will work just as well as any other weapon, if it fits the player's style.  The problem is that its short range makes it unsuitable for most people, who don't know when to commit and when to dodge.  And of course the status effects require the player to consistently target the same area in rapid fashion.  It's not for me, but it gets the job done.

[Stratos]

So you can use items with weapons out, but it only works with the swords?

[noname2200]

Correct.  I guess it's an attempt to beef up the sword-and-shield without unbalancing the set.  In light of how quickly you can sheathe most weapons though, it's not much of a bonus.

[KDR_11k]

I think it is, in the heat of the battle sheathing can cost precious moments that can decide on life or death (especially when it's about antidotes).

What I really hate is when the big monsters go behind load screen barriers so if I follow them I end up in the wrong area.

This drives me bonkers.

As Pro described before the moments when you 'enjoy' your potions can be your last ones alive. I've died during sheathing, during potion consumption and during those seconds where your guard does not raise because you have to draw your weapon before blocking.
