Personally, I'd think it'd be funny to have a "spirit combo" hunt with a team full of longsword users. By the end of the game, whoever has the highest spirit combo wins.

Fun fact: despite the hate for longsword, if you're doing it right(which isn't hard) you're doing at least 2x the damage of the next highest person, assuming similar-level weapons. Also, anyone that says you should keep away from the head while using a hammer should be punched.

To be more specific, using the longsword right is basically get red spirit bar -> spam spirit combo on highest damage hitzone. Always. Anyone complaining just doesn't know the numbers.

That's aimed at YOU, Knirisk.

They're also huge jerks most of the time.

True that. But it's pretty much justified elitism.

Also, all the cool guys left months ago. And the population of the game is slooowly declining.

The community at GameFAQs(the ones that know what they're doing, anyway) are elitists. But it's justified, because approximately 90% of the Monster  Hunter Tri community is terrible at the game.

Unfortunately, most of the really good guys, e.g the ones that made the ton of FAQs and stuff, left the community a long time ago.

Uh...  I'm not gonna say anything other than that opinion displeases me and leave it at that.

Back on the topic of multiplayer is anyone up for hunting some Royal Ludroths later today?

Actually it was the part where he said it was justifiable that displeases me but uh nevermind I'm breaking what I said earlier so I should shut up now.

Edit: anyways I'll be in Rookie2, Gate3, City12 if anyone wants to hunt some Ludroths with me provided it doesn't crash again

I say it's justified because they're being elitist about how much better they are than the rabble. They're right. Being elitist isn't cool, but they at least have a valid reason to be elitist.

I did pick up Monster Hunter: Dynamic Hunting for the iPod Touch (on sale for $.99 for 4th of July) and I suppose it is a decent substitute for getting a real Monster Hunter fix. No free roaming, just getting plopped in front of some of the more notable monsters one on one.

I'm pretty sure I never said that you should keep away from the head while using a hammer. The idea is to not put yourself in the hammerer's way when he's aiming for the head. Er... Looking back, I probably could've stated it better.

I don't get why you'd really use a longsword very much in multiplayer anyway, unless you don't use the spirit combo at all. The spirit combo staggers pretty much everything that isn't a GS-user already swinging. Moreover, the longsword can't guard in any fashion. I understand that the hammer can't, either, but the hammer helps the team in other ways. A superpound is way easier to hit than a spirit combo and causes KO/Exhaustion. 2x damage is good, yeah, but how about 4x damage from the whole team? And again, most monsters aren't big enough (With examples of Rathian, Rathalos, Uragaan, Lagiacrus, etc.) to use the spirit combo constantly on the highest damage hitzone without staggering teammates.

It may be the highest-damage weapon, but only in skilled hands, not the hands of the general community. Otherwise, its cons just outweigh the pros. Although, that might just me remembering my HR35 days when High Rank Rathian killed so so many of my teammates. So bitter. The longsword hunters never stood a chance to Rathian's backflip.

I'm going to head onto Rookie2, Gate3, City 14 for a while (at least 30 minutes from the time of this post), seeing if anyone's around.

In case anyone missed it.

I assume most if not all in there are B12 members.

Aaanyway methinks I'll have to dust my disc off a bit as its been awhile since I played. I'll probably go online Wednesday though I might try to get a bit of practice on Tuesday at some point.
