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.

Oh, the number of embarrassing things I've done playing tri. :oops:

bring feline bombs n launch urself off xD

I want to get p3rd so the felvines llook like kittys

I have a new shame..... I..... failed the Caedeus mission *Headdesk*

My latest shame is not knowing the button mash + stick wiggling makes you break out of stun faster.

Mine would be up-swinging my friend from Rathalos' nest in D. Island while killing Los at the same time. My friend hated me for it.


...Though, I think it was a WIN situation. 8D

Not immediately exiting the city upon seeing someone use the word "noob" when not referring to themselves. So what if the guy with us died once, it was also your fault for not having his back.... Jerk..

Over all... The amount of times I died against Barroth may count. He was tough as heck the first time.

Over all, nothing's really "nooby" to me, as long as fun is involved.

kicking a bomb lul.

If that's shameful, I quit. /no/

I still to this day forget Cool Drinks on ala runs (almost all of the time though im good enough to avoid getting hit by Ala so its not much of a problem) and I also sometimes forget antidotes on Rath/Nox runs resulting in me wasting pots to heal from the poison. I did use the Guan Dao/Ian+ setup at one point but It was all I could get and I quickly moved to los+ oh also when I first started playing I had NO clue about elements resulting in me selling weapons assuming I could get through with just one weapon

.-. agreed.

I was hunting with karp, lady karp and yumi last night and we did jhohohohoho.
Karp put jho to sleep and planted bomb and as soon as I got closer to him, I kicked the bombs and karp cussed me out./versad/

I still forget to bring cools on ala.
O.ob

1. Constantly doing the Hammer spin-attack, most especially underwater, now I know much better XD

2. Using the Hammer draw attack, causing random people to fly >.<

3. Believed it's a good thing to match Hammers with the foe based on element (oh my, I suddenly missed using my Jhen and Huracan hammers) >.>

4. For arguing with team mates before that the Hammer is the strongest weapon damage-wise (thank God I'm enlightened by Lord Grahf) <.<

5. For wearing the Alatreon set, right after I completed it, for the longest time until I realized how much it's outclassed T_T

I forget cool and hot drinks on some quest, accidently upswinged everyone off the boat in jhen with hammer draw when we were hitting the arm (never used hammer on jhen again), and in my early gs days I upswinged a friend off the cliff in area 8 of D.island, never upswinged again after in quest.

For months I had no clue how to do a Paw Pass Quest. That and my nephew and I had no clue where to deposit the items for the foraging quests.

Good grief the entries I could post on this one... but you want the most shamefull?

First time fighting Jhen (event quest) and I asked for advice, of which I got "Don't die", and "Drink a pot when your hp is half gone." I spend practically the whole fight tring to hit it with my hammer from the boat with no one saying anything to me. When I saw everyone go to the bow front of the ship (later I learned they were about to use the dragonator) so i went too. They were all just standing around and I got curious of what the giant button did....

We didnt win that fight and I endured a great deal of pre-pubesencent cursing attempts before they all left the city with me alone and frustrated/embaressed.

When I got my first Switch Axe I was in love and used it on every quest. During online I used to send people flying at least once per mission. And didnt discover you could draw it in sword mode pressing - until I was in like HR 30

I actually used the Rathian armour, and feel no shame. But the noobiest thing I did was going on a Jhen quest when I had started online. I think I was in Chainmail armour, and was using the first ludroth sns. I ran around the ship, to get my bearings, and pressed every button I could find. No dragonator for us that game.

I umm... kind of fired the dragonator into thin air on the jhen fight. Like, as soon as it was ready...

I watched all of PrinceBoo's videos and thus thought that SnS was the best and only route to go for weapons

There were times when yes, I did use rathian armour with guan dao (no auto-guard) which was at least gemmed...for health +50, fire res +20 and earplugs. Although I didn't use it in my true noob phase...I used it for HR31+ which is probably even worse, until I got my lagi overforged.

I have another thing to add to my shameful noob list.

Infinite greatsword combo.

No charging.

I am still a noob but still, I fought the Barroth with an sns my first time, I failed the Great Jaggi quest twice when I first started, I tried to fight the Rathian when Qurepeco summoned it in the tracking the trickster quest *cough cough* triple cart *cough* i also didn't know how to get to area 8 in Deserted Island map the list goes on and on

I see this... EVERY. SINGLE. DAY.

And when I call ppl out on it, they usually either ignore me, or give me the "lawl charge = too slow noob".

Then I upswing them whenever I can from that point on. It's not like we'll miss their their pro infinite combo dmg with the Barroth GS in Rath armor...


Oh, lemme add one to my list:

I chose my weapon path based on looks 'till almost the end of offline mode- then I found the wiki. Then I was sad. And poor.

I am still a noobie, and the most embarassing thing so far is:

not knowing I can redo quests over and over, even after they are done.
I thought I had to keep ending via subquest to keep a quest active and available.

Big thanks to MetaMarx who set me straight on this, via the The Question Hotline.
