I could be on it tonight but Im not promising anything. Maybe if I don't see you guys tonight you could put down some time of server or whatever where we meet?

I should have the game tomorrow or Friday. Working on getting the adaptor and the keyboard now.

Just got the game...i'm going to play a little offline and then go check out the online part...by reading the manual this game looks like a good set-up to make private games if you want...you can save 50 people on your friend list,there's a large chat area,then the town area where 8 people can meet and so on...it should be easy to make a town named AT for example with a password for 8 people and once inside split up in 2 groups of 4.

Cool Mute...ok,quick thoughts...the controls will need some getting use to...using the right analog makes you swing your sword,etc...that's a little weird,i'm use to looking up and down with the right analog...the only control you have of the camera is the L1 button which repositions the camera behind you,kinda like the righ trigger on PSO...graphics are pretty good,if you don't mind the PS2 jaggies(i think we are all use to them by now,still looks good)...my main beef so far is the collision,detection of your hits on the ennemy,the hits are ok but when the ennemy falls,a lot of times you go right through the monster,you kinda dissapear in them and when you want to pick up what the dead monster leaves,you stand right into the monster,again dissapearing in them...


Mute i guess we will need to decide where we meet,there's 2 main Worlds,then 4 sub area's and so on...we need to decide an AT/GC area so it's easier to all get together.

There was only about 40 people online in the World i chose.

My name is the same there guys,just look for riel.

Maybe we can make a post with all the servers and Worlds and vote on one in there?

Whoa funky controls! I actually really like them. It's unique. ^^ Anyhow, I haven't tried online yet. I'm still getting my feet wet offline. Though, I probably should register my name since I do believe there can be any two of the same names online.

EDIT: Damn that camera is gonna take a bit of getting used to after so many years of PSO. ^^; I see what you mean by the collision detection. It is a little weird looking but it doesn't really detract from anything. This came is purrrty. ^^

Whoa funky! I went up to some random plant by a tree and harvested berries. @_@ I feel bad killing these herbivores. :(

There's 2 Worlds so far:

Brave World.
Sincere World.

Now Brave World is the first one everyone picks so far so if we wanna play amongst ourselves i suggest we use the Sincere World.Then there's the Red Land,Green Land and Blue Land...i don't see how you can name a town after that,they are either vacant or called Aluzard something...might be harder to find everyone then i first thought...

Yes, I see exactly what you mean. I don't have much time to get more into it since I have to head to work, but I registered online as Mute, so that is the name I'll be using online. Hopefully I'll get a better crack at the online elements later this evening.

Where should we meet if we're ganna play together? My characters name is Camulus.

Finally played a few games online and yeah we definetly need to hook up together,having a good group will help a lot for the fun factor in this game.I'm still a little lost with the controls although i'm getting better...i only have a small weapon for now anyway...a few things i don't like:

the lag was pretty bad on a few occasions,we got a lot of the "seeing a partner hitting air" a few times and teleports all over the place.

you can actually hit a teamate,which is kind of dumb,i can't believe they left that in,you don't receive any damage from the hits but you can be sent flying on your back.

there's no way that i have seen so far that you can heal or support your teamates,it just seems like everyone slashing away at monsters,hopefully this will change with levels as things you equip makes your class in a way.

Good points:

Lots of action,nice interface with all the emotes you find in this type of game but a keyboard is a must again.

Towns are cool,tavern is well done and the game is easy to pick up.

Seems to have a lot of quests and the monsters look great.


I suggest we use the Sincere World and the Blue World to meet up and set things up from there.Once everyone has most people on their friend list,it will be easier.

The game has potential,i can see having fun with this for a while,maybe be not PSO while but if the mid level quest get more interesting then the "noob" fetch quest,it should be fun.

A nice little surprise. I got this game in the mail today. So far I'm loving this game and have opened up the 2-star quests.

A few things I've found useful so far.

Fishing is your friend. Fish go for about 30-60z a pop. A goldenfish will net you about 900z!

First thing you should buy is the BBQ spit.

Like almost any game, watch the enemy's attacks so you have a good idea how to avoid them.

Item combining is also a good thing to practice on.

Hopefully this helps some of you.

Yeah we could do that although the main Land once you are there in the game is basically a chat area,hopefully lots of peeps get this because i sense a very fun game...things i'm not sure yet but hopefully it's in the game:

Trading between players.

If someone dies can you revive him?

Classes and skills.

I think you can exchange components such as hides and pelts, however, I'm almost 100% certain that you CAN'T exchange weapons/armor that is of a certain Rarity level (4-5 maybe?). I need to get my ass online for some verification.
<_<

I'm on now..Sincere World,Blue Land,waiting in the first chat area.

Alright Riel, I should be on in the next half hour or so. Anyone else who's got the game online, feel free to meet us.

Edit~ I'll be on AIM as well, if you want to meet up.

Maaaan! I wish I could join you guys, but this means I have an excuse to accomplish whatever I can offline.

Tonight my friend should be taking me down to EB or Game Crazy to pick this up. Also is there any official place to meet or do you guys just kinda float around and play anywhere?

Yeah it was fun but the game can get really hard if you meet those huge Boss like monsters hehe...we where just fooling around so we failed 2 out of 3 quests.Now that i know how it works,i guess we will need to prepare a little better...no use heading into a mining Ore quest with no Pick Axe's anyway i'll be on again this evening,hope to see some of you guys again.

Sincere World and then Blue Land for the chat room.

Well Im on Monster Hunter right now so if you guys wanna find me go for it. Ill also be on all night so just look for me sometime. I think the game is pretty fun so far.

Wow! Last night was the most fun I've had in a while in an online game. Played with Dive, SaitoH, and Zio (sorry we lost ya Zio, the game really needs some kind of "mail" system like PSO). Dive and I ended up staying up pretty damn late as well. We even took down this huge ass bird creature called the Yian Kut-Ku a few times. One thing this game is lacking is some kind of block list because anyone and everyone can "register" you as a friend and locate where you are... and I've already ran into one annoying ass kid named DarkCat.

Anyhow, I suggest we use a different "town" besides Allsburg. There are two other ones if you pres L1 or R1 at the town select. So basically we should figure out a specific area (A-Z) on the Blue land of Sincere World, then use an alternate town besides Allsburg (I can see why the reviewers called the online setup a bit tedious ^^;).

No sooner do we get this game over here, there's already an "expansion" in the works a la PSOv2. Feast your eyes on Monster Hunter G, folks.

EDIT: I got the network adaptor today, and am setting it up now. Thing is, I won't have a keyboard.

Grrrrrrrrr......... Stupid DNAS! Gets to 40% and stops on me for like a minute than spits a DNS error at me. Now I'm beginning to hate this game.

Hmmm, others with your similar problem have said they can connect to services such as XBox Live! but still get stuck at the DNAS. I'm guessing you are getting a consistent error message as well? Does this have any information along with it, when it comes up?

It appears that most people having this problem are connecting through a router. Perhaps the PS2 network settings have to be changed accordingly to accomodate for this.

If worse comes to worse, is it possible to plug your DSL directly into your PS2? (If you haven't tried it already)

As far as Kut-Ku, just keep at it until you have a good feel for his attack pattern. Be careful once he gets to about half health he tends to go on a frenzy and becomes a tad more difficult to attack. Oh, and paint the sucker as soon as you can, for we all know he likes to fly away when he's hurt (I'm told paint only lasts around 10 minutes or so, so you may have to paint him multiple times).

WOOHOO! I'M ONLINE! I"M ONLINE!!!! (Or rather I was) If you find one named Zengar_Zonbolt, it'sa me.

Thanks for the tip, amigo. Still however, as they say in Spanish, "no tengo teclado." However, I'll try to change that by this weekend.

Somebody pway wiff meeee!

Last night with Mute was truly a blast. We beat up Yian-kut-ku in true fashion, although I did die twice and it went to sleep once. The best part was getting sloshed afterward.

I really gotta hurry up and get me a keyboard so this game will be even more fun.

Bummer, I missed out on a Yian Kut Ku beatdown? Oh well there will be more, and DE, you might have had a better chance of survival had I been there. I have been known to load in a Recovery Shell from time to time as I blast my teammates with Pellet Ammo.

No, I didn't think we could pull it off after that first time I kissed the ground. In other news, my keyboard's on its way.

Haha thats cool guys...Im on Monster Hunter right now. People in here are teh crazeh! We all went to the jungle and smacked down the Gyncerops or whatever that things name is. He fakes death and stuff all the time so it was pretty tough. About the only thing I got was rubbery hides but you can make Gyncerops armor with it.
