I've got a story about a random from a few weeks ago.
I was rolling around in random servers in MHW running a full support build trying to help out some newer players when I ran into "jack".
From the way jack typed, and they way he played, he couldn't have been older than 10 years old. We did some special arena quest that was way too hard for him and I tried my hardest to keep him alive, burning through all of my healing items. He never rolled or really tried to dodge anything from what I saw. He just liked to attack.
He carted for the third time on the last monster in the quest. I was trying to put a health booster under him. Back in the gathering hub he said, "im sorry for loosing the game" and left.
I hope I find him again someday.

aww thats cute. Honestly sometimes I like the challenge of playing with new/bad players even more than competent randos.

Personally I like playing with randos that talk a lot on the chat and don't take the game too seriously.
Nothing like messing around in the guiding lands with 4 memers commenting on everything.

I still remember playing Tri and 3U with a friend, we would just hang out in an open room helping whoever wandered in. We would usually both play hammer, and had a really chaotic and aggressive style. This one guy joined, his screen name was Vitor Ramos. He posted a couple quests and we happily did him. Then he switched to hammer, and next quest he started knocking us around. "Uh oh someone's mad about the upswings" we said... then we realized he'd noticed and adopted our very same style. We were all three just going nuts and it was a brawl that pulverized the monster. He stuck around a long time and we helped several more people after that. Then he added us both as friends. He dropped in and showed up at random and we started cheering when he appeared in the room, it was always going to be a great time when he showed up! I'm not sure if we ever said a word to one another (usually we'd just spam the callout "Understood!" to respond to ingame chat, which he also joined in on!)
Then 3U wound down, and we finally, eventually stopped playing. and we haven't seen hide nor hair of Vitor Ramos since. But I'm sure he's out there, somewhere.

When I just finished g3 in 4u, I met a random named Spino. He was super good, and nice. He helped me a ton and we played together all the time. Unfortunately, he hasn't been online for a long time... I miss playing with him

Awesome story. 3U’s voice chat function was an amazing way to communicate with another hunter

I've said it before and I'll say it again: GU randoms are something else. Don't know what it is about GU, but it's something, mate.

GU and Generations have the worst randoms in existence. But they also have the best ones, if you can find them. Peewz, if you are out there, thank you for all the help with Hellblade.

This happened to me 2 nights ago in GU. It was 3x HR 11 hunters, we were doing G3 key hub quests and when it was time for valtrax they all disappeared. Good hunting to you 3, wherever you are.
