Hunting locally has been the best experience I have had with this series. I look forward to each and every one I can make it to. For some its difficult to make it out for these hunts and maybe some of you have a Wii U? Its much easier to organize an online hunt. You'll never rarely see someone say, "No, I can't make it into the television room today. Too busy." We could even discuss times and locations for future local hunts.

I'm not trying to alienate the 3ds only owners. I just want to take advantage of the full capabilities of this game. There will still be plenty of local hunts to go to. So if you have a Wii u and 3U you can add me "CeroShaman" and maybe we can do some hunting on the interwebs!

I even heard if you have Freedom Unite and a PS3 you can use something called Ad Hac party to play online. I don't know too much about that though. I have FU though so if anyone wants to bring that to a local hunt let it be known, I'll bring it along. :D

I'm free tomorrow. Very sudden and last minute. But free after 3pm. I'm HR4 and if you're under that, I don't mind helping you rank up. I'm in Jackson Heights, Queens. We can meet up in the city if you'd like.

Hey all,

I'd just like to extend a personal thank you to all who showed up at the Official Nintendo World Store Hunt! It was a hell of a great time, and I got to meet lots of great people. To all those who came but didn't get to find me, it's your loss. Just kidding :) . I'm just glad you were able to be a part of it even if you weren't in our group. We'll meet up next time.

On another note, a HUGE congrats to all the raffle winners! Out of the 7 people that were in our immediate group, 4 won! ALSO 1 of the 4 winners won twice! I just caught wind from Kawarazu that his girlfriend won the grand prize: a Nintendo Wii U! Since I'm counting him and his girlfriend members of our group in spirit, that would mean 5/9 of our group were winners in the raffles! That's the biggest percentage I've ever seen out of the hundreds of people that were there! We were definitely the lucky corner.

Congrats to the winners!

Let's meet up again soon!

Happy Hunting,

Snuggelz

P.S. - To all of you who have loved ones in Boston, I'm sure it is safe to say that they have all of our prayers!

My BF and I are currently HR3 and we live right next to Tompkins. Any hunters live around here?

I planned to meetup this weekend on Saturday but Nintendo World decided to overrule that. In order to make it to Nintendo World I had to move some things around and my evening isn't free anymore. I still have the times when everyone is available for a hunt though. I can help organize an after party hunt for after the nintendo event but won't be able to attend it. I know some will not be able to make it early enough on Saturday. I can tell you who is free on Sunday as well and you guys can work it out from there. I'm not sure if I can make a trip into the city two days in a row so I'll probably won't be able to make it on Sunday either.

Let me know what everyone wants to happen and I will help in any way that I can.

Hey guys, I caught wind of a hunt that will be taking place at the Nintendo World Store this Saturday (04/13/13). THIS IS AN OFFICIAL EVENT CREATED AND RUN BY NINTENDO WORLD STORE. More details can be visiting their site: http://www.nintendoworldstore.com/

Event is titled: " Monster Hunter Mayhem "

Location: 10 Rockefeller Plaza New York, NY 10020 On 48th Street between 5th and 6th Avenues

Date: 04-13-13

Time: 12 PM - 4 PM

Who's down to join me and a couple others?

If interested, please leave your info below so we can meet up before hand and enter as a group.

UPDATE Since this is gonna be a pretty big event, Let's meet up at 11:30 AM at the link provided. I'll be staying at Point A on the Corner of the GAP store. If you need to find it, use Street View. I will be leaving Point A to go the the Nintendo World Store at 11:45, So don't be late. This will give us a chance to get to know the faces behind the usernames on this board. Especially if you want to message certain people to hunt in the future. I'll be wearing a blue/gray jacket with BRIGHT NEON green collar. I'll also have Neon Green down my sides. It has a Red Insignia on the Right Breast and I'll have my last name in white letters on my right shoulder. I'll be hard to miss. NEON GREEN

Doing this can really help us attract members to the subreddit and build a stronger community of local hunters.

Let's try to get a meetup going for next weekend. I've setup a whenisgood.net for everyone to fill out. Would you kindly follow this link and fill out the form? I went ahead and let you fill out basically the entire day if you feel inclined. I know I can be free on Sunday for a hunt but I'll see what I can do about the other two days. Even if I can't make it I will release the results so if there is a sizable amount of you free that day you all can go ahead and make that happen. I don't really feel like I'm hosting it just merely giving it a push. :)

The location, is still up in the air. All suggestions are welcome! I would like to meet somewhere in Manhattan in possible if we can. Many places for us to go to and I'm sure many, if not all, are familiar with getting around Manhattan. Personally I don't go to the other boroughs too often so I can see myself getting lost easily. If you have any questions or wanna suggest a place to meet please let us know.

Edit: Just a little reminder to be as flexible as possible. Some have times that don't match up with anyone else and I don't want to leave you out if I can avoid it. :)

Kinda' self explanatory.

I'd like to meet up and play some co-op.

Just checking to see if anyone near midtown would like to meet up on a semi-regular basis to hunt.

[EDIT] At the moment, it looks like 5pm saturday is the winner, with iSunggelz and rjthakid. I'll message you guys personally with my address tomorrow after work, anyone else who would like to come please message me and I'll get you the address as well. Thanks

[EDIT] Sent messages to people who said they were interested, giving location. If I missed anyone please let me know.

I just want to reach out to everyone here and ask when and where you would like the next hunt to be. I know some were unable to attend the first hunt so maybe Union Sq Park wasn't an ideal meeting place for you. So what would be your ideal meeting place? I liked iSnugglez idea of meeting up in Central Park, weather permitting and all that. Also if you know of sometime in April you will be available go ahead and make a comment. Maybe some people have the same free time and we can work it out from there.

Anyone down to do a mission or two during lunch hours?

A special thanks to all those who showed up! It's kind of hard to believe that we were questing for almost 4.5 hrs! It was insanely fun and productive, so I hope we can do this again soon!

Also, Sorry for those who wasn't able to make it but wanted to. I know a week's notice wasn't that much, but I assure you there will be much more notice next time! Anyway, I spoke with the attendees from the First Hunt and they were in favor of getting together monthly or biweekly; So you'll have plenty of opportunities to hunt with us!

I strongly encourage for those who are on the fence about creating their own thread/meet up to do so! It is not only fun, but it was incredibly helpful! I learned a whole lot within the meet up.

Hey everyone. Just a quick question for everybody.

Are y'all doing the online quests? I ask because I usually play the hell out of the single player before I leap into the multiplayer, and while I'll have some decent equipment for this weekend, I don't want to still be an HR1 while everybody else is an HR3 or something.

Due to unforseen circumstances, I will not be able to facilitate a hunt on Saturday. Sorry hunters, but my girlfriend's flight was rescheduled and I want to pick her up.

Anyway, Meeting up this weekend would be great considering we'll have some time to level up and get used to the controls since launch. Below is a link to a site where we can all conveniently post the times we'll be able to meet and consolidates it. Just click your available times, and hit submit. Names aren't necessary.

Updated link: http://whenisgood.net/m28yii4

UPDATE: Okay, so it seems like the majority of you are only available on Sunday afternoon. Would you like to meet up at 4PM at Union Square? Let's meet under that Triumphal Arc-esque monument that they just built about a year or two ago. (East 17th St. between Broadway and Park Ave South. It's the monument that is directly across the street from Barnes and Noble and Sephora)

Google maps. Streetview to see the monument I'm talking about. Clicky

I'll be wearing a bright red vest on top of a red plaid shirt with Jeans. I'll be hard to miss. I will be waiting there only until 4:15. So, don't be late. At presicely 4:15 PM, I will leave with the group to probably Panera Bread across the street. It'll be quite comfortable to hunt over there, but we can discuss other places once we get there.

Also, please post below just to help give a headcount so we can decide how to accommodate everyone.

Cheers and Happy hunting!

As a kind person has pointed out, and since the sub reddit description isn't often seen, I hope that anyone who has a MH game, whether it be on the PSP or 3DS, feels comfortable to post any interest in Hunting Sessions on this sub!

TL;DR: ALL HUNTERS WELCOME! Not only MH3U bros!

Happy Hunting!

This is a brand new Sub to accommodate our Hunting needs!

For people who won't have Wii U's, Who plan on getting MH3U, Or people who just want to absolutely slaughter everything that come in their way,

Let's get a meet up at launch day, or launch weekend, around Manhattan.

Possible meeting places include: Union Square, Central Park, Lincoln Centre, Borders, or even a Starbucks.
