Thanks for the info.

I wish they did it while I was at work so I could come home and play :<

lol Because it's all about me =p But secretly we all wish that, huh?

I'm at work and I was planning to play till 11am but I checked the pso2.jp site and noticed the change :(
Now I just get to sit here and play LoL until its quitting time and go home and wait for 5pm...

At least my Vita arrives today ^^;

[layn2321]

Is there a patch going through today? I pre-downloaded something the other day, wondering if we have someone new coming today or if it was just a really early pre-downloaded for the vita stuff. It was a big patch on the pre-downloader though

[Z-0]

Early pre-download for well... new stuff in general for the next month or so.

Now, for the actual update today, everything is listed here (http://pso2.jp/players/update/20130123/06/) (apart from surprise bug fixes or whatnot they might add). To summarise:

- Item names are getting changed to be easier to read (more of a Japanese thing).
- Premium Block Space is being added.
- If you have Premium, Este tickets will last for an hour allowing you to test out changes.
- More than one Matter Board objective can be chosen (not sure if they specified how many you can choose)
- Hunter buffs (All weapons restore more PP, JA window is more generous for Swords and Lances, Gear builds faster for Swords and Lances)
- Something to do with Koffee's orders!
- Client Orders are getting buffed (from what I can tell, they're just changing level requirements for something -- either full EXP or the level of enemy you need to kill for the CO). For Hans, Revelle and Echo (although Echo's change is slightly different).

I'm terrible at this. \o/

[gigawuts]

WOAH, all hunter weapons will siphon more PP? God yes.

I'm glad they're addressing the shifting class issues. Whereas subclasses resolved PP issues for force spec (fo/te te/fo) and ranger spec (ra/gu gu/ra), it was not addressed for hunter spec at all (hu/fi fi/hu). Good to see them taking feedback instead of digging in. Now add a skill for fighter, or buff up fists and dagger PP siphoning and we're on to something here.

[Shadowth117]

I like how alpha, beta, gamma, and delta became a, b, c, and d respectively lol.

[NoiseHERO]

so not changing attack speed but widening the JA windows a bit... I guess I can see why... (sometimes I miss that chance to JA using my PA too early... only to realize if say for an example I'm attacking in midair. I'm losing height when I make the JA most of the time. >_>)

I didn't remember gear filling up easier, but I was definitely thinking "man would be nice if my gear filled up faster..." earlier... Kind of a weak coincidence but yeah...

[gigawuts]

Well, fighter needs the longer JA window for knuckles way way more than hunter did, but they're on the right track so far.

[Yunfa]

A chance for me to catch up in school and then POUND THAT AQ HARD AS I CAN! >8D As soon as I clear out 3000 items filled up in my storage/inventory. (No there are no junk in my storage, just lots n lots of affixing fodder that I require for my 4 characters's gears for every 10 lvls. Lets see how far I can get with Doodoo.)

[Vintasticvin]

I guess Im the only Cst (Cetral) player in all of pso-w. Its okay Syaorandc ^^; lol

[Macman]

So wait, are we applying that huge prepatch tonight or not?

[Syaorandc]

I guess Im the only Cst (Cetral) player in all of pso-w. Its okay Syaorandc ^^; lol

lol well most people can usually compute their own time from PST or EST so I put those.

CST would be 6PM - 2AM ;-)

[gigawuts]

It's already been done over the course of the week, assuming you've clicked yes to every precede downloader prompt.

[Maronji]

So wait, are we applying that huge prepatch tonight or not?

I'd hazard a guess of "Yes" along with "We're not going to see anything from that this week".

[jooozek]

wait what the huge ass predownloads werent for this week? last time it fucked up so i had to copy manually so i did this in advance now...

[Z-0]

nope, they're not updates for this week at all, although the data is being applied into the client this week (basically locked content woo)

[gigawuts]

Ha ha, seriously? I thought they said it would be for this week's update with the exact same announcement that we'd be getting the downloads.

Lordy.

[EvilMag]

I always assumed the shit that was in the pre downloader were the Vita maps and stuff for the Vita version.

[Jungo Torii]

I guess Im the only Cst (Cetral) player in all of pso-w. Its okay Syaorandc ^^; lol

I came here to state that you are in fact not alone in your CST-ness.

...But I usually have no problem with timezones and the like.

[Macman]

It's already been done over the course of the week, assuming you've clicked yes to every precede downloader prompt.
Uh, no. It's sitting in the _precede folder taking up space.
The last prepatch I had to manually copy the files over into the data folder to get them to actually stick.

Guess I'll just run the launcher and see what it does.

[gigawuts]

Ah, I thought you meant getting the files at all, misunderstood. I'm used to predownloaded files still being put into the actual game directory and made accessible to the game, even if they're not being actively used. I'm not used to files this large being an actual patch.

[Alisha]

swords and WL were sped up last update and as a result JA timing was tightend. the funny thing is partisan has 2 JA windows but maybe this will make air JA easier

[Z-0]

pretty sure they weren't because the update page says it's happening today (and I mean, I didn't notice anything). Then again Code: Gesture got added this update so who knows?

[jooozek]

okay, applied all files
only 28 files to download
edit: uh gameguard updated too

[Macman]

Yup, me too. Had to manually move the precede files over again. I bet those 28 files are ENG patch files, at that.

[SwordOkami]

I guess Im the only Cst (Cetral) player in all of pso-w. Its okay Syaorandc ^^; lol

Hi. CST here, and to be more specific, Chicago. :-D

[Xaeris]

Wait, wait, wait...there's an America between EST and PST? How come I've never heard of this desolate wasteland?

[Blackheart521]

Wait, wait, wait...there's an America between EST and PST? How come I've never heard of this desolate wasteland?

The tornados here block off all communication to the outside world ^^;

[Maronji]

Wait, wait, wait...there's an America between EST and PST? How come I've never heard of this desolate wasteland?

Just because Utah sucks as a state for gaming (for the most part), don't count out MST either!

(On a more serious note, does anyone know for sure what the page linked above says about Koffie's COs? I'm curious.)

[Zenobia]

There won't be any update this week just maintenance they delayed it sadly so we will def see the update next week of course.

[Blackheart521]

What were all the dates for the Prepatch for this update? can't seem to find them anywhere and don't wanna copy over more files than I'm supposed to since I still have old prepatch files in my folder too

[Rayden]

swords and WL were sped up last update
Wait, what? I use them all the time, and I haven't noticed any changes to their attack speed... I thought that was what we were getting now?

[Zenobia]

swords and WL were sped up last update and as a result JA timing was tightend. the funny thing is partisan has 2 JA windows but maybe this will make air JA easier

Wrong i checked the site we never got the sword speed up nerf or any of the sort go check for yourself if you want to confirm this. We will def get the sword nerf and all the others next upcoming update.

[Ezodagrom]

I'm almost sure that last time there was a pre-download, the launcher actually copied the files from the precede folder to the data folder, it just didn't delete the precede folder after the update.

[Blackheart521]

I'm almost sure that last time there was a pre-download, the launcher actually copied the files from the precede folder to the data folder, it just didn't delete the precede folder after the update.

Yeah, actually it seems that way now considering I now have around 11,000 files being checked instead of about 9,000 and I didn't copy anything to the data folder from the precede one. ^^;

[Ezodagrom]

I can confirm it, it copies the files from the precede folder to the data folder. While it shows that it's "downloading" over 3000 files, at the speed that it's being done, it's definitely not a download, but copying from the precede folder.
Of course, manually copying the files from the precede folder to the data folder will achieve the same result.

Awesome I'm not alone here :D

[Klypto]

I was hoping it would start later so I could check prices, but I guess not.

[CelestialBlade]

Really love the HU changes, specifically the additional PP gained from attacks. I recently re-did my HU tree to focus on gears, JA boosts, and Iron Will, so I'm surprisingly looking forward to messing around with FI/HU again. I agree, FI needs some sort of PP management addition too, but flipping between Double Sabers and Swords is going to be a very viable option now.

[Arialle]

so just to confirm is the precede batch applied to todays maintenance or todays maintenace is only a normal one with like the usual 10+ files patch as i have not downloaded the precede patch yet...keeps giving me erros

My HU Build consisted of Both JA bonuses 1 ans 2 maxed, FS maxed, and FC=Fury critical and all gears.

While my FI build consist of Both stances maxed and there respective crit bonuses but i could only max brave critical i also have all gears on them to.

Could you tell me how muhc Iron Will procs even at 75% cause i want to invest in this skill and if it procs enough..I would very much so invest.

There's also this:

But that’s not all, other classes may see some balance adjustments as well, but this will be discussed some time in the future.http://bumped.org/psublog/pso2-jp-gameplay-adjustments-for-february/

No idea who this will affect and when this will be done though.

The files from the pre-download are going to be applied today, even though most of them are just in preparation for future updates, they still have to be there for the game to work.

[Zenobia]

We pretty much got all of the major updates were only missing the balance patches with HU and the rest etc so we dun know when that's coming but i wanna say and guess its coming next week.

If you're looking for my opinion...crits in this game are largely useless (there's been plenty of research done in the Gameplay subforum), so I don't bother with any of the crit skills. Fury Stance is okay, but a stat boost is always going to be far inferior to a % boost so I like things like JA boosts, stances, and Iron Will. Haven't gotten to mess with Iron Will that much yet but on paper it sounds amazing. Would definitely open up my offensive game.

Maxing the stances isn't really a bad thing, but I like keeping my stances at 5 and maxing the stance up skills, since you get more of a boost from these without a penalty (and you are going to incur that penalty sometime, like it or not). Leaves you more points for other valuable things like Chase Advance, which is very nice if you plug a SE onto your weapon.

[Maronji]

Put simply (and slightly clearer), I think it does applies to today's maintenance, but we don't really get anything out of it this week (probably next week at the absolute earliest, but this isn't a guarantee).

[Arialle]

mehh guess its now a default must patch kind of thing rather than a choice of whether you want it or not for now....and i havent donw it yet omggg

thanks for the info!

any idea how big is that patch?

[Ezodagrom]

A note for those that did the pre-download, like the first pre-download in December, the launcher doesn't delete the precede folder, you have to delete it manually after the update so it doesn't occupy unnecessary space.

Around 3.4GB or so.

I actually crit more with Fury stance activated along with fury critical which gives 20% crit also sense it stacks with both wise and brave crit im critting dang near everytime also maxing the stances is a godsend 120% for maxed brave stance and 130% for a maxed wise stance is def a 1up and not bad at all I to also have the brave up and wise stance up as well ive hittin for a huge ton of damage with these said skills applied as an HU and honestly im loving it.

The maintenance will last 6 more hours or so, you can already do the update, so depending on your connection, it could finish by then? (If the launcher doesn't start giving errors). :\

my connection is fine here but somehow patching pso2 is very slow and i do not know why. I wont be able to patch now cause im at work haha

i remember after installing the client it took 2 days just to patch everything

[Cyron Tanryoku]

I had no idea that folder kept files.

Had like 5gigs of stuff in there

[Klypto]

and here I was always wondering

Why is this game folder so huge but the textures so bad? D:

[Maronji]

This is probably a given (well, for anyone who's been around for at least one big update), but I might as well say it now before people start asking about it here (though knowing the tides, they will anyway).

It's probably not best to patch with the English Patch at the moment, based on three different reports from the "other" forum. You'll most likely get stuck at a black screen. Please wait until a new version of the patch comes out to save yourself some grief.

If I'm not mistaken, 20 of the main english patch files and 9 of the large files were updated, so almost certainly it'll require a new version.
Same thing for the story patch, 50 files used by the story patch were updated, so even that one may require a new version, maybe?

More PP and faster gears! Sounds awesome.

I'm assuming that the supposed "Beach" level, and the Chrome Dragon? And level 60? Is all coming together in March?

[Ezodagrom]

Most likely not.
Chrome Dragon will be first added as a random emergency code boss for the Vita players (possibly will be there on launch already? dunno), if a PC players is together with a Vita player in a PC/Vita shared block and they defeat the boss, that PC player will then be able to find the Dragon even in PC exclusive blocks.

The next area most likely will be the 3rd Amduscia area (in the files it's called Dragon Sanctuary), most likely that one will only be added around April or so. Same thing for the lvl 60 cap.

Oh I see! Not sure where I saw screenshots of the beach area, must have been for Vita? All I know is that I'm craving an area like Jungle in PSO Ep. 2. I think that currently the game has too many gloomy areas. Can't wait for something different.

[Maronji]

Okay, so after consulting with Kion about the Koffie CO changes, it goes something like this:


The COs will be easier to complete.
The COs will give EXP (where they only gave a bit of Meseta before).
When the COs appear will be changed.

This is mainly to make it easier for the Vita players to get through the game and level up. This includes the Mag License and all of her exploration-related quests.

The only reason this makes me mad is that my latest character has already blasted her way into the mines, so she won't be able to take advantage of most of those changes.

Dang it, Sega--nay, life, WHY MUST YOU ALWAYS DO THIS TO ME, EVERY SINGLE TIME? Seriously, that's the story of my life right there: do/get something, said thing becomes easier/cheaper mere days or weeks afterward.

The picture you're talking about appears to be from a room scenery theme, but usually those are associated with areas (forest theme, tundra theme, desert theme), so who knows, there may be some new area in the future like that.
Plus it was found through datamining a while ago 2 new areas other than the Amduscia one, one that was just mentioned as "Lillipa 3" (basically 3rd area for the Lillipa planet), and one for a new unnamed planet, apparently the area is mentioned as "Coast".

As true as this would be the first time seeing error message.
Normally on tuesdays I don't bother getting on and around 12am normally i can just let the update roll....and sometimes finish b4 i go to sleep...

This first time seeing that message but I won't stress it...

[SPOnion]

Rumor: HU Fury Stance will be % instead. Flash Guard will reduce more damage.

[gigawuts]

Rumor: HU Fury Stance will be % instead. Flash Guard will reduce more damage.

Rumor from where?

If this is true...mmmmm yes.

[Maronji]

A new core English Patch just went up a few minutes ago. You guys know where to get it.

To save on headaches, do not use the Large Files patch yet. That one still has to be checked.

[SPOnion]

Rumor from where?

If this is true...mmmmm yes.

Just some gossips on fb. I don't think it is true (since the text they quote implies otherwise) so labeled it rumor.

But I think these skills will be more received if they do make such change.

[Syllix]

I LOVE THIS FORUM! One quick google search and I now know why my game isn't working :)

I dl'd the patch and can get to the ship selection screen, (but still can't play obviously because maintenance is still going on), BUT everything is in japanese. So I tried to use the english patch from 2/12/13 or whatever, but then that messes the game up and the title screen is black and I can't do anything.

I'll check out this new english patch and hopefully that works, otherwise I guess i'll have to wait until around midnight PST to play a bit, albeit cope with japanese for a while until the patch is complete.

Cheeers

[Zenobia]

Hell yeah Furystance being a % based skill instead of a raw stat giver it would be awsome but rumors=mehh,but all in all it would be hella awsome.

[gigawuts]

Seriously, it really would. As it is it's merely a "better than nothing" skill. Either % bonus to damage, or % bonus to stats would be ideal.

Either that, or the added atk should bypass defense.

[Arialle]

according to a websitr not sure if can post here....seems like we got a new event emergency quest these few days

[Ezodagrom]

Patch notes are up in the PSO2 website, gave them a quick look with google translator:
http://pso2.jp/players/news/?id=940

- New emergency quest, it's set in the desert.

- We'll be able to select multiple nodes in the matterboard.

- Looks like the search for parties from other blocks feature will be expanded, we'll be able to join parties directly from there.

- Looks like they're adding drops for Falz Hunar in the Darker's Den?

- Something graphics related added to the skyland (possibly just for area 1?), most likely what was shown in the broadcast a while ago, they were playing the vita version in the Skyland, there was some background scenery that doesn't exist in the PC version.

- Premium players having extra slots to be able to join full blocks (as long as the extra premium slots are not full too).

- When using the esthe AC ticket, premium players have 60 minutes to be able to do changes, instead of being 1 time only.

- I'm not exactly sure if this is what it's talking about, but it seems they added an option related to the double tapping of W, A, S, D in the keyboard for dodging, to disable it or change the timing required for the dodge?

- Some changes related to ARKS Cards, player shops, blacklist, symbol arts, ship selection, emergency quests system messages, drops notifications, icons of tickets, but not exactly sure what each of the changes are.

- Changes to the blocks so there's PC blocks, PC/Vita shared blocks and Vita blocks.

- Changes to hunter, higher PP recovery with normal attacks for sword, partisan and wired lance, the just attack timing adjustment for swords and wired lances, the adjustment to how much the gear fills with normal attacks for swords and wired lances, and being able to cancel the cerberus dance PA animation with guarding.

- Lowered requirements for some 2* and 3* units (I think).

- Adjustments to several Koffie, Hans, Revelle, Franka, Echo, Zeno, Afin, Ohza, Lisa, Marlu COs. Also alleviated the conditions to unlock Fighter, Gunner and Techer (not specific what was changed though).

- Adjustments to enemies HP below lvl 20, adjustments to the behaviour of certain bosses in normal mode (Caterdran, Snow Banther, Vol Dragon, Wolgahda).

- Something about increasing the reward for when the Dark Falz Elder emergency code is a rare pattern? (not sure what it means, maybe it's when the emergency code message appears in red?)

- Increased the probability of the premium effects for medical drinks.

Oh god yes, are they finally making this optional? It would help SO much.

[MetalDude]

I almost partially hope Fury Stance continues to naturally decay just so I have a good excuse to keep using Iron Will.

[Valkyrie Lovrina]

Wow, all of that sounds pretty sweet. especially the options to turn off the double tapping the W, A, S, D for keyboards. thats much welcome. ^^
Still would prefer a gamepad though if I could use one

[Ezodagrom]

Oh god yes, are they finally making this optional? It would help SO much.
Using google translator it says this:

Keyboard operation
From basic configuration options, input interval when avoidance action to fire twice in a row at the push movement keys keyboard operation (long, medium, short, not used) will be set to.
It's very likely that it's related to the WASD double tapping.

[gigawuts]

and being able to cancel the cerberus dance PA animation with guarding.
Okay I didn't even get to post that I wanted this, now Sega are just reading my mind.

I did though. That certainly is nice.

[MetalDude]

Wired Lances really need that, they're already over the top with the number of PAs they have to commit to simply because of how they work. This makes one of their two non-grapple options a lot more mobile and usable.

[Zenobia]

Well well change of plans on sega's part seems we get the update today instead of next week they went ahead and they gave us the HU buffs and stuff according to bump so all you HU's out der prepare to test out the new buff we have been blessed with~.

Also they added the crystal drop to Hunar in DARKER DEN FINALLY TIRED O GETTING JIPPED FROM HIM.

They also added a function where if an item dropped and you went by it it will now display the name and affixes mounted on it.

Also the wired lance PA Cerberus dance is now cancel able during its animation.

They added alot of stuff this update and then some man LOL.

Today's update is still a part of that set of updates though, that specific page that I linked, page 6, is about today's updates.

They even reduced the lvl needed to get some of the drops from enemies on the CO's and reduced the hp on enemies under lvl 20 so if there under lvl 20 they have lower hp LOL.

Actually it was gonna be a change of plans cause AT first it was delayed and it was just gonna be a maintenance then i go to the official site and find that it will indeed be added today and that info wasn't there before.

Also the comment that they added a lot of stuff this update wasn't towards you so there was no need to comment off of it it was just my excitement over it pls dun assume as much.

I'll put up with the constant lunge spamming if they'll just remove that irritating stomp-stun followed by an immediate punch spam attack before you can even shake out of stun. That is fucking infuriating.

That's why I replied to your post, there was no delay, even though they only said that the maintenance was for server adjustments, that doesn't mean that these updates weren't going to happen now. For example, the Hunter changes were always planned for today.

I do, I just don't like playing PSO2 with a controller, the mouse for aiming or to move the camera is a must for me.

I like the movement sensitivity of a joystick, but third person view is an absolutely essential part of how I play and there's no feasible way to really emulate point-and-shoot movement with the right stick.

[Zenobia]

Pretty much this im holding off on the files until i see what happens.

[Ezodagrom]

I can't be bothered with checking through all 12 pages on my phone, so do we need to transfer the precede downloaded updates to the folder or do we hold off on transferring the files?
The more important posts about that:

I'm almost sure that last time there was a pre-download, the launcher actually copied the files from the precede folder to the data folder, it just didn't delete the precede folder after the update.

I can confirm it, it copies the files from the precede folder to the data folder. While it shows that it's "downloading" over 3000 files, at the speed that it's being done, it's definitely not a download, but copying from the precede folder.
Of course, manually copying the files from the precede folder to the data folder will achieve the same result.

A note for those that did the pre-download, like the first pre-download in December, the launcher doesn't delete the precede folder, you have to delete it manually after the update so it doesn't occupy unnecessary space.

[blace]

It probably wouldn't be far off to assume they're being unprofessional again and we'll have to move it in ourselves.
That's fine I suppose, when I last checked the precede folder it was at about 3.4GB of data and over 3,500 files to transfer.

@Ezodagrom: I see, I wasn't willing to eat up my phones battery wading through 12 pages of conversation for an answer.

[MetalDude]

I don't mind it really either given it's simple to do, but there's plenty of people out there who aren't even knowledgeable enough with a computer to really figure out transferring files into the right spot let alone finding the main folder for PSO2's data. It's kind of a silly thing for a big company like Sega to just not do that.

Check my last post, the launcher does transfer the content of the precede folder to the data folder, it just doesn't delete the precede folder after the copy is done (which means that the precede folder stays there occupying unnecessary space).

I do TPS with my controller, but I had to heavily modify my button layout to get it to work in a way that didn't handle like complete crap. It's not as efficient as keyboard and mouse, but considering I play while sitting atop my bed, it is more comfortable for me.

To save on headaches, do not use the Large Files patch yet. That one still has to be checked.

Anyone who uses the English Patch likely knows where to get it from in the first place, anyway.

If I recall, they had to do an Emergency Maintenance to address it. If it's this widespread I would not be surprised if they do that again.

From what I'm aware (and what was posted on another thread), it's a side-effect of using the current Large Files patch. It needs to be updated, so using it is not advisable at this time.

[Hrith]

Apparently, some retarded motherfucking moron at SEGA thought it would be a good idea to change button configuration, over eight months into the game.

Is there any way to change it back, somehow? They have made it impossible to change weapons for me: it used to be 'accept' to change weapons, now it's 'attack' or 'PA', and the 'accept' button FUCKING CANCELS the action.

They've changed the Elder Set effect:

The three units give +90 to all attacks in a set. No PP bonus. Weapons do not give any additional effects. Weapon cannot be used as the third part of the set.

:\

However, SEGA have addressed this (http://pso2.jp/players/support/measures/?id=944) and say it will be fixed.

EDIT: Black wing set now gives 70 HP and 60 DEX instead of 50 HP and 40 DEX like before.

[MetalDude]

I'm always curious how you break things like stats. From a coding perspective, it makes zero sense since you should be pulling stats from a data table that shouldn't be remotely related to anything else that was changed in the game.

Also new latents have been added. Shame they all suck, and most of them are on absolutely terrible weapons.

Are they the PA-boosting latents that Sakai had mentioned before?

[Z-0]

Nope. Stuff like:

Flame Mastery (Club of Laconium, +14% at L3), Ice Mastery (Ditto on Adaman), Elemental Weak Hit on HS25 Justices, Aerial Advance on Cross Scar (lol), increase effect of mates (clock rod -- this one might be cool), super weak brave stance damage (Gunslash Zero), rate of affixes dropping (MKB and BKB -- this one I quite like).

Elemental Weak Hit on HS25 Justices, Aerial Advance on Cross Scar (lol)

Wha...

How do you take a somewhat decent opportunity to make weapons unique and useful like in PSO1 and fuck it up that badly?

[gigawuts]

Oh my god these affixes are a fucking joke.

It's like they're writing a How-To guide for themselves to read in '99 when working on PSO1, except it's a How-Not-To.

I guess now we know latents aren't what's meant to give weapons utility roles. Nothing is meant to give weapons utility roles :wacko:

Yeah I always wondered why people would even bothered with spending another 8 mil worth of grinders on a weapon that gives you a SMALL bonus... for... ANOTHER WEAPON. SOMETIMES.

But then I remembered that they don't...

And for the few "useful" skills they cost 30 mil in player shops.

[gigawuts]

I'm still reeling over this.

A Ranger exclusive weapon with a Fighter exclusive bonus that gives only 1% crit rate some of the time


SEGA

But wait, it gets better.

This is on an ordinary Photon Launcher.

Which is outperformed by a 5*.

And it also has 8* grind rates.

This is seriously latents in a nutshell. This is the posterchild for why latents are dumb.

[Ezodagrom]

Oh, wow, they added a new lobby music for when the Dark Falz EQ is active.

[Xaeris]

Yeah, I just noticed. I really like it. It reminds me of...hmm...an Angel attack?

[gigawuts]

I liked it at first, it was kind of novel, but after even just 10 minutes it's a bit...eh...

I wish these things had a list that you could enable/disable.

[Arialle]

just a question regarding the error 12002 no 103 update problem...as far as i have read its just a connection or traffic issue that i only need to keep retrying till i get it....but is it normal that my patch always stuck at the first file download and before the bar even moves i get the error?

[Alisha]

Elysium increases uncharged techs? hahaha

A launcher with +1% crit rate during Brave Stance? What? Huh? The fuck?
i think that effects wand gear explosions

Uploaded it. :P

I completely forgot to turn off steam before recording though, so early on there's the notification sound of me receiving a steam message. :|

[Alisha]

meh this should play instead

rate of affixes dropping (MKB and BKB -- this one I quite like).

MKB base price now 2mil. Wish I saw this sooner. ;_;

[Alenoir]

Set bonus for the spike set seems to have been removed entirely. Dunno if it's a bug.

Bug. Most of the sets are effected. (Some are nerfed to hell and some got randomly buffed.)

[Maronji]

Not sure if anyone noticed or mentioned this, but they seem to have stealth-patched Naberius TA 1. The last two shortcut switch rooms don't seem to spawn Garongos at the end anymore.

Also, am I just having acute memory failure again or am I not really feeling the Hunter changes at all (or, if I am, they're not significant enough for me to feel the difference)?

[UnLucky]

i think that effects wand gear explosions
I... doubt that. But that would be real interesting if it did. It's just too bad uncharged techs don't build up wand gear. And uncharged techs are garbage. And wands are garbage.

[Hrith]

Also, am I just having acute memory failure again or am I not really feeling the Hunter changes at all (or, if I am, they're not significant enough for me to feel the difference)?I feel the same. I'm hunter at the moment so I immediately tested that yesterday. I can feel the change in PP recovery per swing, but the JA timing does not feel any different, and the Gear gauges do not feel like they fill up faster. In fact, I used to swing my WL a full combo before having one gauge filled, now I have to swing... a full combo to fill one gauge. Wonderful.

[Arialle]

oh god 2 days still and im trying to patch with the 12002 error >_< */flips table*

[TheDeFiler]

I read in the patch notes that the requirements for Hans COs were lowered but when I was doing the one where you had to kill 60 Digg it was still....well 60. Is it because I was in the middle of the quest before the patch installed? Because I don't see a difference in his COs.

It's not the number of enemies needed that changed, but the level requirement for certain COs that changed (for example, some COs that needed lvl 31+ enemies before may now need lvl 21+ enemies).

Gotcha thanks for the info.

For anyone wondering about the "rare pattern" rewards -- you get Iritista stones (sometimes) from Red Codes at Falz.

No idea if anyone addressed this query.

[Ezodagrom]

Other than some Koffie COs now giving exp and the difficulty and fighter/gunner/techer unlock COs now only needing 1 boss each instead of 3~5, in this update there was another change to Koffie COs that I only noticed now.

While I had unlocked the first Ruins quest with my ranger before this update, I only went through the quest today, and, as soon as I completed the quest, I got the warning that I had a new Koffie CO, the Ruins Exploration unlock CO.
Basically this means that now we don't have to complete all the quests to get the Koffie COs to unlock free fields or areas, the CO is unlocked as soon as we unlock the first quest required by the CO.

(For example, before a new player would have to complete all 4 forest quests to get the CO to unlock forest exploration, but now, as soon as that player unlocks the 3rd forest quest, that is, after completing the first 2 forest quests, he can start the forest exploration unlock CO right away).

Does that work for TAs too? :s
The current way of unlocking the TACOS are really annoying, and it's not a fun experience for every person new to TAs.

No idea, since I've already unlocked TACOs with my characters, I can't check it. :x

[UnLucky]

Just unlocked TA COs on a new character.

TAs themselves unlock with the area.

Nab TACOs all unlock when you complete a Nab TA on any difficulty.

Lili TACOs unlock when you turn in the Nab TACO of the same difficulty.

Haven't gotten far enough to get the rest, but I believe this is the same as it always was, yes?

TAs unlock with the area, you mean, you unlocked the TAs when you unlocked the first quest for the area? For example, did you get the naberius TA when you unlocked the 1st tundra quest?
(The way it worked before was getting access to a TA after completing the last normal quest for the area. For example, unlocking Nab TA after completing the De Malmoth quest).

Also, you say that Lillipa TACO unlocked when you turned in the Nab TACO, have you completed the Lillipa TA before turning in the Nab TACO?
(From what I've been told, before we had to complete each TA once to get access to its CO, dunno for sure though, since I completed each of the TAs once before starting the COs).

[UnLucky]

Oh, uh, I don't think I had up to Free Tundra, I forget now. :X

But I did Nab1 N TA (no CO), which unlocked the TACOs, then did Nab1 H TA w/CO.
After that, I did Lili N TA, which unlocked the H TACO, but not the N TACO, because I didn't complete the Nab1 N TACO.

[Ezodagrom]

Oh, uh, I don't think I had up to Free Tundra, I forget now. :X
Forgot that I didn't have Nab II yet with my ranger, just unlocked it once I completed the 3rd Ruins quest, so this didn't change then, TAs are unlocked after the final normal quest is done for the area (3rd tundra quest, 3rd tunnels quest, 3rd skyland quest, 3rd ruins quest).

[UnLucky]

Hm, I've got NabII unlocked, but no COs for any of it, despite doing it once on N and turning in all other N TACOs. Do you know what unlocks that exactly?

[Syklo]

If you haven't cleared it once and completed amduscia normal TACO......then I have no clue.

[UnLucky]

Yeah, I just did NabI/Lili/Amd in a row all on Normal and turned in the COs for each on Normal as well. Some I did on Hard earlier, but not all of them. Did a CO-less run of NabII on Normal right after and nothing happened.

I heard sometimes it just doesn't count for whatever reason and to just do it again/do it on Hard, but I dunno.

Seemed pretty straightforward when I already had all the areas unlocked, but I don't actually think it's changed much since then.

[Coatl]

You don't need the area unlocked to unlock all the TACOS. Someone else who has the TA quests unlocked can get you the TACOs unlocked.

To unlock Nab I Tacos, you had to have completed Nab I once.
To unlock Lilipa Tacos, you had to have completed the Nab I CO and run Lilipa once.
To unlock Amduscia tacos, you had to have completed the lilipa taco and run amduscia once.
And it follows the same pattern with Nab II.

At least, that's how I unlocked the Tacos for like 10+ people. But I haven't unlocked any Tacos after the maint, so I can't say if anything has changed or not.
