Most shameful thing you did when young and newbie?

First topic message reminder :

Things you did in the past, whichever MH game it was, that you look back to and say to yourself "OMG HOW COULD I? "

I actually got to the point of going on a Jhen run...

Spoiler:

:lol!: :affraid:

I'm actually surprised nobody pointed at me and laughed in the Tavern.

After that one time I think I've never gotten to use that epitome of uselessness again.

XD that's not just any kind of logic, that's like on a otologic level.

that's comparable to the time I thought Lagiacrus was just a hardcore fanart of a Feraligator XD

My most shameful moment..

Probably back on the original MH, being made Rathian's b***h over and over again! Back when I was a HUGE GS noob..

same here,also thinking the torch did damage..."why would i use this stupid sword when i could burn them jaggis"...facepalm

i thought dragon was an upgraded version of thunder,when i was hr 5 0_0

Ugh, sorry, I posted what I was like upon beginning MHFU.

Probably thinking Qurupeco was impossible alone.

I can say proudly I never touched Rathian armour OR Guan Dao, together or separately. I thought Ian gear was ugly and I was never too big a fan of Long Swords. Also, I had watched that one awesome solo run of Jhen so as a HR 10~ in maxed offline Lagi gear with my Ancient Hammer, so I was more experienced with it than some High-Rankers on my first try xD

Anyway, I bought a mix of leather and chain-mail armour my very first time playing. I thought individual points into skills affected me without activating them. I also died against my first Great Jaggi...and failed the following cap quest once and didn't try again for a week...

Why so much hate for Guan Dao or Rathian armor? I know they are not the greatest but lot of us have used Ceadeus armor or Dark Claw Demise I feel like both Ian and Guan Dao/Yan Yue Dao are a taste so to speak of the equipment we will be using post end game at some point.

Spoiler:

On topic, I am sad to say for the longest time I had no idea how to do the different levels of hammer charging or GS timing.

Well it does, but your biggest competition within par would be a Bhnahabra. So if you ever have the urge to go parcore with some bugs for a LOONG timeframe, torch is your weapon of choice.

I used to think like that on Freedom 1.
However, I just learned that it just took quite a bit longer than the non-multiplayer monsters and I didn't have the attention span to kill them all alone (And I still don't XD)

I don't think alot of us have that attention span actually lool

Sure, i could pull a 99-minute match online with my friends all focused, non-distracted and all

but take the time and commit to doing an online hunt seriously?
nope. negatory, not interested XD

Ooo i just remembered one.
Using Piscine Armour to gather underwater stuff instead of leather.

Got to admit that was me also. To be fair to myself though that was before I looked up anything on MH. Tri was just a random buy for me. I thought +5 in attack gave me +5 in my attack. When I finally got enough points in a skill to activate it though that is when I started to get the point

Another thing was I thought barrel bombs were throwable (as I had played a lot of donkey kong games before-hand) and I kept placing them everywhere and I was like "Wtf?" then ended up suicide bombing my first Great Jaggi...

Remember kids... Suicide bombing is the answer to everything...

DO NOT SUICIDE BOMB! IT'S FOR BADASSES ONLY! EXCLUDING ME!

My single and foremost shame, even today, is being woefully unprepared sometimes.

And i will come out and say that i did use Guan Dao, and i still have it in my box...

But as for armor, Mine pretty much went:

Jaggi>Barroth>Ian>Lagi>Los>Jho

MY armour pretty much went:

Leather - Hunter - Random mixes of high defense (extremely new to MH) - HR peco and ian mix - Los+ - HR Helios and vangis mix - Agna+ (for lancing)

I used to use long sword xD

Ohhh, no you didnt just insulted [insert weapon here]! thats the best weapon in the game!


but really... long sword is not a bad weapon, but just like any weapon you need practice and you need to know hot to use it properly, if not, spirit spam all the way!

Or until the lancers threaten to kill you because you trip them every bloody second.

I love lance and all but lancers are for the mozt part cry babies about getting tripped does not matter what just happens to be longsword is overly popular I honestly lanced with many LS users I really never had an issue with them but I am aware of where I position myself because I know most weapons can interupt me especially longsword with it's wide hitbox. People whp truly master lonsword are skilled players brcause it is the easiest to pick up but hardest to use on a team because of the large hitbox it has. I personally am a longsword user and sometimes am annoyed by a lancer complaining about my weapon choice I give players a prior warning and post with a longsword equipted but then fhe entire team decides to lance making it hard for me to position myself and then get attacked for it. I feel other players need to be more aware of each other instead of just the monster in front I have gone entire runs with three longsword users maybe being tripped maybe 4-5 times wich is pretty small considering how some quests can take up to 20 minutes if not going for speed.

and thats the difference between 4 people going for a jho and a team going for a jho.

the first one is just 4 people slashing its way through it
