User blog comment:Kogath/Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate for the Nintendo 3DS/@comment-26119361-20150617215152

I'm in a bit of an odd situation: I almost exclusively play MH4U on my daily commute to work and back home. That's enough time since one way is almost an hour. But that means I can't play online. I've played a little bit online when at home, but I rarely have the time to do so and frankly, most of the time I had to play with people that aren't fun to play with.

So far I've logged 130 hours and I've finished all caravan quests until halfway 8 star (except the brute tigrex 6 star). I've only done a few gathering hall and event quests, though so I'm only HR6.

The sad thing is that quite some stuff can only be unlocked via the gathering hall quests and those are also the only way to increase my hunter rank. But those quests are not really meant to be solo'd. I know that it's possible for some "hardcore" players to do the online quests solo, but if you're still reading you know that I don't exactly fit this category.

So is anybody in a similar situation or do you have any suggestions on how to improve my HR / get better equipment without having to spend too much time playing online?

I hope I didn't offend anyone. I'm just an old fart who doesn't really have that much time for online gaming ;-P
