Frontier Etiquette/How to Advertise Guide - Shizuka

Well, more like a www MUST KNOW SKILL Tip on stuff in-game at the bottom of this post~ =p

===============================================================

==================================

How to Use the Chat Window

==================================

Press the Insert Button or the Triangle Button (PS2-style) or the L2+R2 Buttons (PSP-style) to toggle the chat window. You can press Start or Enter to enter what you typed/inserted.

 

Chat Targets:

Yellow Chat = Channel Chat (to everyone in the World, throughout the 10 lands)

Blue Chat = Local (to everyone in your Land, Room, 30-man Bar, Guild House)

Green Chat = Guild (to everyone in your Guild)

Purple Chat = Allied guilds (to everyone your Guild and your Allied Guilds)

Pink Chat = Party (to everyone in your Party, once you are in a Party only)

Orange Chat = Private (to and from one other Hunter)

Purple/L Blue/Red/Yellow Indicator Whisper Chat = Only during the quest. The chat will turn Orange once you send/receive as whisper.

You can change your Chat Target while the chat window is open and then holding Shift (or L1 on the GamePad) while toggling with Up and Down (or the D-Pad) keys.

You can scroll through your whispered chat history players with doing the same thing but clicking the Left and Right (or D-Pad) arrows.

 

You can also turn off any of these chats [or filtering it out] from appearing by either pressing Alt+Enter or Square [or Enter or Circle].

==================================

Chat Shortcut Phrases / In-Quest Etiquette Phrases

==================================

If you press ALT (or R2) while in the chat box, you can toggle to get to the shortcut phrases.

[img]http://img.mh-frontier.jp/manual/cmn/chat/img/07.jpg[/img]

Here is a list of translation for the emotes that I know or how I interpret them, from the list:

 

PAGE1

F1：よろしくお願いします = yoroshikuonegaishimasu = Pleased to meet you (Say this at the beginning of the quest or after joining the party)

F2：頑張りましょう = ganbarimashou = Let's do our best! (If you wanna say so at the beginning ^^)

F3：グッジョブ！ = gujjobu = Good Job! (say after breaking parts/cutting tail mostly)

F4：お疲れ様でした = otsukaresamadeshita = Thank you for the hard work (say after the quest and going back in gh)

F5：ありがとうございます = arigatougozaimasu = Thank you very much (Say after undazing you, healing, buffing, etc to u)

F6：どういたしまして = douitashimashite = You're welcome (or you can say, ieie, meaning its nothing. Or say okdesu (おｋです), if someone says sorry upswinging you or the like)

F7：ごめんなさい　= gomennasai = I'm sorry (When u die or upswing someone or the like)

F8： ドンマイ！ = donmai = Don't mind! (If someone dies, tell them dont worry about it, not words like "you suck shortcake!" in our language ^^)

F9：討伐しませんか？ = toubatsushimasenka? = Kill?

F10：捕獲しませんか？ = hokakushimasenka? = Capture?

F11：のんびりやりませんか？ = nonbiriyarimasenka = Take it easy? (I think can we do anything, kill or cap?)

F12：了解しました = ryoukaishimashita= Roger that (f u agree and understood what they said ^^; )

 

PAGE2

F1：ピンチです = pinchi desu = I'm in a pinch! Or i'm SOL.

F2：援護お願いします = engo onegaishimasu = Help please

F3：退避して下 さい = taihi shite kudasai = Evacuate please (get out the area or something)

F4：力尽きました = chikaratsuki mashita = (I'm ****ed? Not really sure ^^; )

F5：眠らせ ます = nemurasemasu = Sleeping

F6：麻痺させ ます = mahisasemasu = Paralyzing

F7：閃光 玉を投げます = senkoudama wo nagemasu = Flashing

F8： 落とし穴を設置します = otoshiana wo secchishimasu = Pitfall trapping

F9：爆弾を置きます = bakudan wo okimasu = Placing bomb

F10：爆破します = bakuhashimasu = Setting off bomb

F11：拡散弾を撃ちます = kakusandan wo uchimasu = Using Clust Bullets

F12：徹甲榴弾を撃ちます = tekkabutoryuudan wo uchimasu = Using Crag Bullets

 

I mostly do not use all of the default shortcuts so I just edit them (which you can do via the menu - 5th>8th Menu Options, or via chat log with R3 or Alt-Enter) and made my own set of phrases ^^

=================

Misc. Quest Information

=================

Here are several terms that are nice to know if you ever want to be specific on knowing about / posting your quests.

 

討伐=toubatsu=slay

捕獲=hokaku=capture

狩猟=shuryou=hunt(either or)

If is is a delivery quest: 納品=nouhin=delivery

This is important to know since some quests are kill or capture only quests. These information is normally written on top or below the first page's quest description.

 

For the top part of the first page of the quest info, it should read something like this:

Monster name/item name

+quantity

+体:karada=body(relates to elder drags) or 頭:atama=head(refers to non elders boss monsters) or 個:ko=pieces(quantity for delivery) or 匹:hiki=number of small monsters

+のno (of)

+quest type

 

Here are some e.g.:

ティアブロス2頭の捕獲=capture 2 Diablos

テオ・テスカトル1体の討伐=slay 1 Teo

カンタロス5匹の討伐=kill 5 Hornetaurs

黒貨2個の納品=deliver 2 pieces of black sterlings

 

If you guys want to know the place, season, and time of a quest from the quest board, look at the bottom of the 2nd page and look for something like: 【目的地】place (season-time)

 

Here are the list for areas:

密林=mitsurin＝dense forest/jungle

砂漠=sabaku＝desert

沼地=numachi＝swamp

雪山=yukiyama＝snow

火山=kazan=volcano

塔=tou=tower

森丘=morioka＝forest and hills

樹海=jukai＝sea of trees/rainforest

峡谷=kyoukoku=valley/canyon

高地=kouchi=highland

潮島=shio jima=tide island

闘技場=tougi jou=arena

迎撃拠点=geigeki kyoten=interceptor base

決戦場=kessen jou=fire arena

シュレイド城=shureido jou=castle charade

戦闘街=sentou gai=town

樹海頂部=jukai itadakibu=top of the sea of the trees/rainforest

 

Here are the list for seasons (found on the 2nd page of the quest info):

繁殖期=hanshoku ki=breeding season

温暖期=ondan ki=warm season

寒冷期=kanrei ki=cold season

 

Here are the list for times (found on the 2nd page of the quest info):

昼=hiru=day　

夜=yoru=night

 

So for e.g.:【目的地】闘技場（温暖期・昼）

That means: [Destination]Arena(Warm-Day)

More ex:

【目的地】森丘（繁殖期・夜）=Forest and Hills(Breeding-Night)

【目的地】沼地（寒冷期・昼）=Swamp(Cold-Day)

 

*Note, on several quests, you can only tell whether the quest is kill/cap only by checking the bottom portion of the 2nd page of the quest details, like what Akito pointed out below~

4-Man Room Etiquette

=================

4 man rooms are located in the 4th tab world lands, and can be searched via the board to the right of the Rasta Bar entrance.

 

Greetings when entering a 4 man room, (know take note what is the current jst time):

おはようございます ： oyahougozaimasu = Good Morning

こんにちは ： konnichiwa = Good Day/Afternoon

こんばんは ： konbanwa = Good Evening

 

参加いいですか？ ： sankaiidesuka = Can I join? (After greetings, you wanna ask if can you join)

They will either say please do (どうぞ、douzo) or nice to meet you(よろしくです、yoroshiku) if they want you to ^^

...so just say yoroshiku back at them in acknowlegment

 

お疲れ様でした ： otsukaresamadeshita = It was a good run (say it after ending a quest and one more coming back in gh)

移動しますね ： idoushimasune = I gtg or gotta go somewhere else (say it if you wanna leave so everyone knows)

ありがとうございました ： arigatougozaimashita = Thank you very much (past tense with "shita", say when someone leaves or when you leave)

またね ： matane = cya later

またよろしく ： matayoroshiku = Looking forward to play with you again

バイバイ : baibai = bye bye

 

So, this is an example how one's conversation normally goes entering a 4-man room:

You: こんばんは

Others: ヾ|*´∀｀｛ﾟ+｡こんばんわぁﾟ+｡*｝*´∀｀|ゞ

You: 参加いいですか？

Others: どうそ！ (Douzo! Please do!)

Others: よろしくお願いします(o´･∀･)o))

You: よろしくお願いします　＾＾

(once you want to leave after doing some quests)

You: 移動します

You: 連戦ありがとうございました　＾＾　　(rensen arigatou gozaimashita - thanks for the runs)

Others: 連戦ありがとうございました

You: 【｡oﾟ｡вчё★вчё｡ﾟo｡】･ω｀･o)ﾉ))

Others: バイバイ(*・∀・)ノ゛

=================

Channel Chat Etiquette

=================

When you guys want others to join your quest, you can advertise in the yellow channel chat (Shift/L1 + Up or Down buttons to switch chats). Let us say you are posting an hr 31 espinas quest. One simple way to ad this is by saying:

HR31~esupinasu ikimasenka?@3@here [Note: @here is in english characters]

This will show up as: HR31~エスピナス行きませんか？＠３ココ！

@here　(in English characters) becomes ココ！or here for everyone to see, where they are clickable for a quick room/land jump.

Note: Just be aware that talking in the channel chat can be read by everyone in all 10 lands of your current world. If you do mess up and say something else (even english or what not, lol), just simply type misu （　ミス　） or miss-tell. =]

=================

Some Monster Name Abbreviations

=================

Here are some nicknames most people give monsters, just in case of abbreviation sake while advertising:

Rathalos = reusu,　レウス

Rathian = reia, レイア

Babakonga = baba, ババ

Summary With Example

=================

To summarize it up, let's simulate how advertising for an hr 31 espinas, any weapon, full meal included will look like, along with people joining etc...and also what happens in game... xD :

You: 31～エスピ行きませんか？装備自由　体力飯＠３ココ！

(Moments later Hunter1 joins)

Hunter 1: よろしくお願いします(o´･∀･)o))

You: (｡´･ω･｡)ﾉﾞｮ━ﾛ━ｼ━ｸ━ヾ(｡･ω･`｡)

You: (｡´･ω･｡)ﾉﾞｮ━ﾛ━ｼ━ｸ━ヾ(｡･ω･`｡)

You: 31～エスピ行きませんか？装備自由　体力飯＠1ココ！

(Hunter 3 then joins)

You: (｡´･ω･｡)ﾉﾞｮ━ﾛ━ｼ━ｸ━ヾ(｡･ω･`｡)

You: 31～エスピ@〆 (shime - this means its filled up)

You: では、いきます！　(deha, ikimasu! - then, let's go (only if you wanna say =p ))

(leaves for quest)

You: (｡´･ω･｡)ﾉﾞｮ━ﾛ━ｼ━ｸ━ヾ(｡･ω･`｡)

(Espinas' tail gets cut)

Everyone: ъ(ﾟДﾟ)ｸﾞｯｼﾞｮﾌﾞ!!

(Espinas gets capped)

Everyone: o(*^ｰ^*)oお疲れ様でした！

=================

Q & A

=================

Q: OMG! I spoke English in the Channel/Land/Party chat with JP players! What do I do???

A: Simply say みす or ミス: misu - Miss. And everyone should be able to tell that its a misstell~ xD

 

Q: Er...someone told me something in-game...but idk wtf he is saying! What do I do?!?

A: Well, if you can't tell what he is saying, you can try using a translator and copying and pasting from the Chat Log (Prog Files > Capcom > MHFO > チャットログ) from the latest text file. If you still dunno what to do, simply ignoring it I guess won't harm anyone, lol.

===============================================================

Besides knowing everything above, LEARN F*CKING KATAKANA and HIRAGANA!!!

[img]http://www.saiga-jp.com/img/character/japanese_language/hiragana_katakana_list.gif[/img]

IT IS NOT HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If you know how to memorize katakana, you can understand wtf are the monster/equipment names and A LOT of stuff already!!! :D
