Let's be clear about capturing...

[Gub]

It still gets you the title for the monster. I've seen a lot of false claims that capturing monsters does not give titles, because you have to hunt the monster. But by golly gee, tell me why the hell I have 58 hunts of the homie Chatacabra and 57 captures, yet I still have all of his titles?

I also have 41 hunts of Arkveld and 40 captures, all his titles. 36 hunts of Gore Magala, 35 captures, all his titles. 42 HUNTS of Xu Wu, 41 captures. 3/4ths his titles.

So let's stop with the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ of saying HUNTS do not give titles. The capturing of a monster is a HUNT. Now these posts and comments I've seen about this topic would be correct if the titles said SLAY the monster, but it doesn't. MH is notorious for Hunts, Captures, and Slays. Hunts means you can slay or capture. Capture missions means you can only capture the monster, and if you slay them, the quest fails. And Slays means you cannot capture, but it is still a HUNT innately. D:

let them cry, waste of time anyways if they can't get something so easy to understand.

Are people really confusing "hunt" with "slay"? Hunting a monster includes capturing or slaying it.

I mean, this entire forum has degraded into clown farming anyways. So you're 100% right. Really, I don't know why I felt compelled to make this useless post, but it's there. I limit my engagement with steam discussions as much as possible, on any game.

Yeah, they are. I keep seeing this ♥♥♥♥ in many posts. How "it's stupid Capcom locks titles behind killing the monster". Damnit.

happens everytime a new hyped game gets released, 1 month and all this trash will be gone.

Yeah. Just gotta swathe through the bull until the dedicated player base sticks around. And I'm not against new players of MH at all. But it is mind numbing the amount of troll posts that people vie for.

Thank you, Alma. For always studying the monster when it's captured!

It's Monster Hunter not Monster Hunter.

I've only heard people wanting to slay for the higher chance for rare carves. Never heard the title complaint.

Title Compliment is often 1 person... asking question if it counts. Every Game, this Happens.

It Counts.

Personally ... I play to have fun, I hate capture system. People who rush to end hunt confuse hell out of me. Cause they have all parts and armor... you can play for Fun now. I get when theres a bonus to items, and you need the items.

They stuck on this Capture thing even after that..

Even when their not the Host.

Also... its Steam Forums and Capture is one of MonHun sore points that needs poking if they wanna get clown awards..

Valid argument, my motives for capturing are to 1, end a hunt quicker to start up another hunt faster. So if Im farming for parts, weapon trees, etc., I can cut down on farming by capturing. The other, is when I'm fighting a T. Gore or any difficult monster, Crimson Glow Val, Furious Rajang, etc., and we have 1 faint left. I'd rather capture to secure the hunt rather than fail it.

I've also been playing MH since 2004, so I figure it's a nice change to capturing than just slaying. Personally, I will almost always capture. But for my own head canon. But it also doesn't mean I'm opposed to slaying. I guess, the arguments of capturing vs slaying is wholly irrelevant to me, because whether or not I'm capturing or slaying, I'm still having a great time. Capturing is fun to me. Slaying is fun to me.
