There's nothing wrong with taking two minutes to mine on a quest. Seriously. I hate it when people come down on others about it. If you can't handle being in the area with a monster for two minutes on your own, then you can wait or you can be polite about about it, at the very least. 50 minutes in a quest is more than enough time to wait, and if you had so huge of a problem with it, why not try to be nice?
Anonymity on the internet doesn't mean you have to act like an asshole to people. >:|
Alternatively, people who do mine on quests...please say something if you're going to mine. Let someone know. It'll help get people off your back when you do it.

Also, fighting monsters that spit fire and live in the volcano generally calls for armor with a good fire resist. Stop your bitching because I'm wearing armor that has a tiny bit less base defense than another set I have when it has 20 more fire resist AND wide area that will save your ass.
Seriously sick of the game Nazis telling me how to play. I've been around the block with this game for a few years now, both solo and online, and I have a pretty good grasp of what I'm doing, thank you.

Lavapless!
Otherwise known as Lavasioth, these Volcano-dwelling fish wyverns have been known to make an appearance on the mousepads of devoted hunters.
This and some other awesome mousepads and keychains can be found here.

Monster Hunter Portable 3
Ok, I haven't been keeping up to date on this nearly as much as I should have, but there's already a lot of confirmed monsters and even a new area for this installment, which I will no doubt also be spending another 300 hours of my life on (where does the time go?). Instead of dwelling on my failure as a die-hard fanatic, I bring news of my current two favorite new (confirmed) boss monsters for this game. It really seems they're trying a mix of the monsters from Tri and the monsters from the previous portable entries, which isn't entirely bad, I think. They're keeping a few of my favorites from Tri (Agnaktor), and of course, Rathian and Rathalos.
Apparently Barroth makes another appearance in this one, and also in the form of a subspecies: Ice Barroth. You guessed it, a Barroth covered in snow and ice as opposed to mud. I wonder how much more adorable he'll be rolling around in snow. Here is some information and pictures, courtesy of The Monster Hunter Wiki.
"A blue and white subspecies of Barroth that lives in the Tundra. Instead of rolling in mud like its desert relative, it rolls in snow, inflicting Snowman instead of Muddy. This monster will be available to hunt in the demo from the Japanese PSN on October 13, 2010. It appears to have a new attack, which involves it throwing rather large snowballs at the Hunter."
May I also make a note here that I can't decide if I like that they are keeping the Tundra as the snow area for this installment as opposed to the Snowy Mountains. Regardless, pictures!
Despite the groans of protest from most of the players who've played the previous games for the PSP, Tigrex is coming back, and not just to haunt you while you demolish Popos in snow-capped mountains (Popos may or may not be in Portable 3). They're giving Tigrex a subspecies, and he looks even more rage inducing than his regular counterpart, but you see...this one loves warm climates, like volcanoes. Looks like Capcom is keeping the Volcano area from Tri too, so Firewalker will be a skill probably necessary to your survival again.
"Black Tigrex (ティガレックス亜種) is a dark subspecies of Tigrex. The original Tigrex is suited for living in the Snowy Mountains, Gorge and Desert regions, whereas the Black Tigrex has adapted to the even harsher environments of the Volcano. Black Tigrex will be seen for the first time in the new MHP3. The MHP3rd demo at the Tokyo Game Show 2010 had featured the Black Tigrex in a playable quest that was ranked as "Hard". According to the new trailer, this monster has several different roar animations and an attack in which it stomps its forelimbs erratically, damaging closeby hunters."
Of course, this isn't all the information on Portable 3. For more information on the game as a whole, new areas, and a list of all the confirmed monsters for this game, hit up the wiki. I should also note to those of us in Europe and the States that unless find some way to order it, yes they are releasing a (totally sweet) special edition PSP, and no, it will not be available to us without ordering from Japan. BAAAW, Capcom WHY?

Withdrawal
I haven't played any Tri in a few days. I can feel the shivers sinking into my bones. There needs to be monsters, where are the monsters? It's so cold...so very cold.
Really though, I should be back on and smacking things with my greatsword soon enough. It's been a busy week. :P Still have to make that Alatreon armor after all. Maybe I should sit down with some adhoc party again, get some Unite going. I feel more like smacking around Teostra than that freakish elemental Kushala thing.

Been a while.
And I've been using the time to play a LOT of Tri. Some updates and a bit of rants/raves:
Woo! HR 63 now!
---
I ran into someone who was using a hack to see Alatreon's health percentage. SHAME ON YOU. If you're going to use hacks, at least have the sense not to announce it, and please refrain from constantly announcing the health percentage during the quest. You're ruining part of the fun of even playing. Justifying yourself by saying it's only a percentage and not the actual numbers is not helping your case. Also, shame on those in the tavern who didn't care. Capcom needs a way to report hackers. Learn2MonsterHunter the RIGHT way. The FUN way. Get busted for hacking and enjoy your ban.
---
I love and adore all you people who like to melee Alatreon. Sleepbombing is all well and good for the wings (they're really hard to break with just melee), but those people who want to be complete Nazis about it and threaten to abandon me on the quest if I don't bring enough bombs shouldn't even be playing. I told you I brought bombs. I told you I brought a lot of them. Stop harassing me.
---
FINALLY GOT A RATHIAN RUBY. I had to kill 40 of you whores in high rank before you gave me one, but I got it at last. Too bad I need three more. BAAAWWWWWW.
---
In all the time I've played Monster Hunter, I've never given the hammer a very good chance to work it's way into the list of weapons I love to use. In Freedom 2 and Unite, it was Greatsword, Longsword, Gunlance, and Bow. Having two of them taken out in Tri left me a sad puppy. My partner got me interested in using hammers, and I've been slowly working on the list of monsters that I can hammer the crap out of pretty well. Quropeco and Uragaan are the most fun and easiest, and recently I've become accustomed to hammering Barioth of all things. For those of you worried about me using a weapon I'm not great with in a higher rank quest, I can assure you that I practice plenty in offline mode with the monster in question before I try it online. ;) Favorite hammers are the Mohran Fang and Gunhammer (it spins when you charge!).
---
Oh my god, I am always broke. Being high rank has it's negatives, for sure.
---
After fighting quite a few Deviljho, he's still my favorite monster from Tri (Agnaktor too <3). I don't care how many times you pounce and eat my face as I frantically realize that I forgot dung bombs.
---
I should really staple it to my head to remember to bring Dragonfell Berry on every Jho and Ala quest. Not that I get hit with Dragonblight a lot, but it is annoying when I do. And my partner insists that I remember it...and I always forget. ALWAYS. Sorry! D:
---
People who whine and complain about a quest, join it anyway, and then whine and complain the entire time are still annoying.
---
I have confirmed the existence of true-blooded bonafide trolls in Tri. First they invade my TF2, and now my MH. SADFACE. How DARE you put in your profile that you are looking for friendly gamers to play with and then consistently harass someone in the tavern who didn't even DO anything. It wouldn't be so bad if you weren't so obviously trying to troll. And you're whole "I'm on the internet, so I'm invincible and everyone else sucks." attitude is really tiring. Don't give me your HR as an excuse for being a douchebag, and don't follow me around to different taverns after I call you out on being a jackass for treating that guy that way. No, I wasn't even mad. You're just annoying and your attitude is not appreciated by anyone. Again, I find myself wishing for a report function.
---
Suddenly I find myself lacking in the vindictive department and wishing I'd made note here of the more recent unpleasant encounters with the jackasses of Tri by name, ID, and HR.
---
I also feel it's a bit sad that I should feel compelled to do so. Yay, the Tri online community is wonderful guys, come on over! Really, it's like that with any online game. You have to wade through the dicks to find people who are actually friendly.
Woo! HR 63 now!
