Only online.  Yup.

*SIGH*

At least I can harvest Rathalos parts offline. Though he is giving me a lot more trouble than I would have thought offline.

I will get two more Rathalos Plates.

It's too bad that you can't just trade or sell some of that higher-level stuff to other players.  I guess that would make it too much of an MMO.

It could also break the game for some people. Imagine if we gave all of our extra higher level crap to a newer player like Maxi. He would be overpowered for the levels he is playing.

If you want to make someone overpowered with stuff you've earned, why not?  It's not like he wouldn't still have to grind up the HR to play later missions.  Additionally, it would just be nice to allow some sort of equivalent-level-of-rarity trading possible, which would restrict what you're talking about, but wouldn't force a grind on absolutely every little piece of gear at high rank.

I like thatguy's idea about level rank item trading. I haven't been paying attention much but do the traders online upgrade their trading wares as you level up? You know the place south of the tavern when you go online.

Also I think that trading with higher rank with lower rank hunters might make it easy for the overall group to complete quests but on the flip side the higher rank player might not want to give the items because the higher rank player wants the lower rank player to work through what the higher rank player has so it is a tough thing to balance.

No, it's always the same stuff, but it does shuffle around every day.

That's a problem in itself. The low-rank is where people should be learning how to play the game, and loading them up with the best gear means they can get smacked around by monsters without fear of getting killed. If players don't hone their skills in low-rank, they will not survive later on. You know the old saying, give someone a hunt and they complete a quest for the day, teach them to hunt and they complete the entire game. This is why I no longer fight much in low-level quests, I usually let the others battle, and step in only if things aren't going well.

Besides, half of the reason to play is to strive for that next suit of armour or that next great weapon upgrade. If all that is just handed to you, what's the point?

I go into low level quests to grind my hunter rank so I can get something interesting done. To me it doesn't look like all of the low level players are newbies, quite a few run around with pretty advanced gear but lack the HR to hunt something appropriate to their gear and skill.

That's true, that's the exception, someone who has played a lot of the single player. A lot of people here on NWR haven't, though, they jumped straight into online.

I played single player long enough to get my first basic set of armor and my first preferred weapon, a lance, before jumping online.

Speaking of armor I found a pretty nice site that helps generate your armor combinations.

Well today I finished up my Rank 3 quests for offline. I have a decent farm and I am getting lots of items from it.

God, I need to play this game some more. I stopped because I wanted to play catch up on my backlog of games right now.  I'm currently halfway through MGS4:GotP.

As far as where I stopped on MHTri...I'm hunter rank 10, I believe, and I'm still stuck doing rank 2 quests.  Ugh.

I may just do that.  I believe the girlfriend is having to work the majority of Saturday, so that leaves me with plenty of MH time for that day. :)

I remember I played with you once, Rachtman. The Club seems to be getting down to just a few regulars, so it'd be nice to see you return to it.

I started a new job, which in turn gave me a new schedule, and my girlfriend is out of college for the summer... which leaves me little time for games.  Weekends are usually when I can, but as I said above... I've been trying to play catch up with my backlog of games. :P

Don't you stick your tongue out at me. I can understand wanting to catch up on a big stack of unplayed titles. I've just decided to resign to the fact that I'll always have games I haven't yet touched, and likely never will. It's pretty much unavoidable.

I try all of my DS games at least once when I get them. But I have like 5 Wii games still in shrink wrap and several more opened but unplayed. Also a couple that I stuck in the Wii but never booted...LOL. I'm suspending game purchases for the summer since I am tight on money so it may give me a chance to catch up...save for my MH addiction.

I was "Who"-ing the chairperson guy you mentioned.  I don't really like the game, so I probably won't be playing it again, at least, not until I get to a lot of other stuff.
