I would have agreed with this, and did in fact tell my friend the same thing, but the new info that seems to imply that tables 12 and 16 have no Rustshards at all is a bit worrisome.

Here's what Yuri over at Capcom Unity said about the Charm Tables for those curious:
I think if it becomes an issue, it could always be patched. It is a bummer that you can't acquire Rust Shards if you land on Table 12 or 16, and RS are required to complete certain armor sets. I'll definitely be looking into which table I land on, personally.

Can you please explain this, i've seen this statement pop up a couple of times. Was something like this in the original Tri?

Blockhead1700, your friends list must be full because i cant add you, but i can others. You should delete some otherwise having your name on the google sheet is useless!
Or they will be silly like me and think their list is full.

Hnnnnnnnggggg, I have so much stuff to do the next four months but whatever: HYPE, take me away!!!
Digital double dip and add me up for this: NNID is AkimbO_LUC, region EU (not that it matters after the return of the Capgods).

I remember my first time I had a battle with the rabbit (using hammer) I lost and wrote a post here about how I kept using the twirling attack but didn't get too far. I then took the time to check the rest of my attacks, and beat the thing on my second try, and now every time I give it a go I notice I get a little better, and yes, this is what I think makes the game worth your patience and dedication.

If I and a friend both have Wii U's, can we go on quests together without having to go online?
ok i think i added everyone...
except you... your name gave me an error that said you have either been deleted/you can't use friend features

Can you trade materials online?
This is a massive problem if some RNG factor determines that I can never get certain gear.

No. You have to be online to quest together. You can quest locally either by 3DS/Wii U or 3DS/3DS.

What is the reasoning behind this?
I guess I wouldn't normally worry about the charm tables, but if this game is as addicting as it seems, and if I get into it, I don't want to have a character w/ 100+ hours and be permanently gimped out of getting certain things.
So just in case, I'm going to try the trick and choose my charm table. There I said it.

EDIT: I'm an idiot!
Yeah, online is pretty much the only reason I'm even considering a Wii U. But $300 for online play seems a bit much for me. Guess I'll find out what happens when I'm standing in line for the game Tuesday.
By the way, how painless is save transferring? Is it something I can do quickly on a daily basis without feeling like it's the worst thing ever?

Were you ever allowed to trade charms?
Gamer @ Heart

You made me realize how long its been since i played Tri. You are right, you can only trade items that you hold in your inventory.
It's weird, right? 3DS and Wii U are essentially the same game, but 3DS can't go online, while Wii U can (same game? Both have wireless?) and 3DS can do local co-op while Wii U can't.
It's weird I tell ya.

Yeah, Rare-3 items and below in your inventory, I believe. Potions, steaks and such.

Trading equipment and the like would pretty much destroy one of the biggest aspects of the game: being badass enough to kill enough Jho's and wear his skin as a trophy.
You may have mastered the demo, but prepare for being inundated with armor sets, resource points, farming, item management, combining, skills, food skills, hunter rank points, zenny, gems, mining, fishing, upgrading your shit, traversing through weapon trees, upgrading your offline partners' skills/abilities, and getting stuck on that one FAWKING monster that keeps throwing you on the kittycart.

Same content, but not the same game. Its a sad omission, but there must be a technical reason why it wasnt feasible. That or they knew they wouldn't be able to merge the online servers of both versions into one and thus didnt want to fraction the user base.

My personal favorite: getting stuck on that one monster who won't drop its rare material (2% or 5% drop rate) to complete your armor set.

Or they wanted you two buy two versions. Local co-op could have easily been implemented on the Wii U version..

I don't think it is a technical limitation. Its just a hunch, but I think it is a way to encourage people to buy both versions of the game. 3DS for local co-op, Wii-U for online.
The server merge is one of the better arguments I've heard as to why they didn't do it, but since there are games that'll play nice cross-platform (android/ios) I'd think they could tackle that issue.
Who knows, though. I suppose it doesn't matter, it is what it is, but I am a bit curious.

I helped kill so many fucking silver raths in unite through adhoc party for some of those damn rubies. It made me feel helpless.
Like losing something in real life, when you dont really want it or need it, the drop fairy will finally visit.

Think I got the Ruby after my second battle with it. People were freaking out for a while in the lobby after I told them about it. I've also got lucky with Lagiacrus, but after that the desire sensor kicked in.

Added myself to the list. I will say however that I won't actually be playing until the 23rd, since me and my friend are waiting till then for a charity thingy. If anyone wants to join the party for that, let me know!

So, if I have a Wii U, but prefer to play Monster Hunter on a portable and don't mind waiting a month to play online, am I totally safe buying the 3DS version? Anything else to know about that?
When you start a 'New Game', you are assigned a table that indicates what kind of charms you can get. there are lots of tables available. capcom probably did this so that different players can get different charms.
Its a one-off thing, once you begin you can never change what table you were assigned. how can you, when it is internal and invisible to you.
now, in theory its should be all fine and dandy. regardless of what table you get assigned, it shouldn't matter... BUT it seems that there are tables that are buggy. "cursed" is just a fancy way of saying it.
basically these "cursed" tables have poor charm selections and some will not give you minerals (that you mine) needed to forge special armours and/or weapons.
so basically these "cursed" tables can handicap your playing experience and the only way to get around it is to start a 'New Game'. annoying when you have poured hundreds of hours in the game.
Yeah, seems like a good move since you can just transfer your save to your Wii U.

Will these tables eventually be patched? I guess I am asking if this is a real 'bug' or is it by design? Great explanation, btw. Thanks.
I think it's because it's a faster weapons so you're getting out many more attacks from it so faster dulling.
