New 13*s require 300 gold badges.
Bronze badges can be exchanged for silver badges.
...

Silver Badges can't be traded for gold badges. hahahahahaha

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

And we get gold badges doing...?

[arublast]

Silver Badges can't be traded for gold badges. hahahahahahaSeems like a huge oversight ...

[Xaeris]

1 clear - 1 gold badge, from what I understand. Sound familiar? Nevermind, bad info. It's 30 element per weapon, so it's not completely Slave Grind 2, Electric Boogaloo.

[Maenara]

Backhand Smash now costs 40 PP and is around 11% stronger.

[oratank]

shit 725 atk req for 13 xi weapon

[Xaelouse]

Sonic Fever is shit. 10 attack on everything 5 HP 1 PP

[Renderless]

1 clear - 1 gold badge, from what I understand. Sound familiar? It's 30 element per weapon, so it's not completely Slave Grind 2, Electric Boogaloo.

There seems to be also a chance you can get 2 Gold Badges when you clear. A Gold Badge can also be obtained by clearing emergency codes.

[Xaeris]

Oh, that's pretty manageable then, combined with the 30 element on the weapons. lol @ Sonic Fever being bad after people were getting flustered over it.

x10 FUN is the most miraculous thing ever, thank you, that is all.

[Maenara]

After one LQ clear:
10 bronze badges
5 silver badges
2 gold badges

[stardustreverie]

Surprise knuckle is ridiculously fast now
Kinda unimpressed with the rest of the buffs

[wefwq]

Holy fuckin hell, really 300 badges?
That's just feels like Slave grindfest ver1.2 not-mech slaughterhouse edition.

And also it looks like the stat for new fever found during datamine are just a ruse.

[Selphea]

Sonic Fever is still nice for Gunslasher builds. It's like a Mutation that only needs 1 fodder.

[Xaelouse]

300 badges is not bad at all considering the weapons are 30 element each and 2 golds per clear

[Aine]

aren't the yozakura weapons p shit though

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

At least sonic fever isn't totally breaking affix meta.

[Flaoc]

honestly id take yozakura launcher at this point.. slave was stuck at 15 ele cause i couldnt handle the grind (with the lag too) anga is a dick and ideal launcher is the worst of the 13* launchers

ill just take what i can get at this point

[Maenara]

New 12* dual blades have Zirenheit potential(+15% elemental stance).

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

New 12* dual blades have Zirenheit potential(+15% elemental stance).

Is it fi-usable is the question.

[EvilMag]

Te equippable lol...

[Xaeris]

That's certainly an interesting choice.

[milranduil]

Sonic fever is actually 10 s-atk 10 r-def 5hp 1pp

[Tankotron]

Cleared LQ once and ended at 8/8/5 for Bronze silver and gold. Not bad at all.

[TaigaUC]

They really screwed up the colors for that Rinna/Linna outfit. All of the colors look silly/fake/putty-ish.
And the legs don't seem to reflect that the shoes are heeled. They look strangely short.
Either that or the body is too long. Oh well.

Time to try the LQ, I guess.

[SallySalSal]

Anyone know if Gold medals drop frequently in modes below XH?

[Achelousaurus]

1 clear - 1 gold badge, from what I understand. Sound familiar? It's 30 element per weapon, so it's not completely Slave Grind 2, Electric Boogaloo.
600 runs of the LQ?
o.O
That's not even half the effort you need for slave weapons. No wait, 2 gold badges per finish?
Wow, time to get some new gear then.

[Poyonche]

Hello Lawnchair~

[arublast]

Done 3 SH so far. 0 gold, 4 silver, and 10 bronze.

[Selphea]

Well GDI :/

[stardustreverie]

600 runs of the LQ?
o.O
That's not even half the effort you need for slave weapons. No wait, 2 gold badges per finish?
Wow, time to get some new gear then.
I got 9 gold medals in 3 runs total.
It's not nearly as bad as lillipa but still a grind.

[Poyonche]

So it is just RNG ?

[Selphea]

Is it affected by RDR? Still patching.

[Rakurai]

I don't think the gold medals are affected by RDR, as they're only given out as rare ET rewards to my knowledge

[SallySalSal]

I've gotten gold, silver, and bronze as mob and boss drops.

[Poyonche]

Are you sure that you didn't got Gold as E-Trial reward ?

[Maenara]

New 12* partizan has bouncer equip and Black Heart latent.
New 12* katana has hunter equip and unique latent, +300% snatch step damage AND +14% snatch step JA damage.

[Mattykins]

I get about 3 on average per run, so it looks like 200 runs, oh boy.

[SallySalSal]

Do the new 12* only drop in XH?

[milranduil]

I get about 3 on average per run, so it looks like 200 runs, oh boy.

200 runs for 60%, you poor thing.

[Mattykins]

Eh, they take less time and are a lot more brainless than CQ, at least. I'd rather do this 200 times for 60% than however many times I've done CQ so far for the 40% I'm currently at on my rifle. I can jump right in instead of taking an hour to figure out roles, and it's not derailed by shitty players.

[Miles064]

So I take it this means running ult lillipa is now pointless? It's like white beast all over again. Still, cant argue with a change of scenery I guess.

[Rakurai]

Lillipa weapons are noticeably better.

It's simply a matter of whether or not that extra 140 attack or so is worth having to deal with way more RNG.

[Miles064]

The new ones being 30% seems pretty legit too.

Also: Do the rings do anything?

Super Edit: God they used that stupid eggman song....

[Asuka~]

Hmm, so no hope with SH LQ giving Gold?

[Xaeris]

200 runs for 60%, you poor thing.

http://i.imgur.com/nBxhF6Om.png

Collect all the rings in the lobby, and the Sonic gets an emerald.

[elryan]

What are the potentials of the new 13* weapons?

[varicbreem]

anyone elses character suddenly a ball of clothes and unable to load in?

[Azure Falcon]

So how many silver badges are people averaging per run on XH? Since 6 months of Magatsu hasn't even got me 1 Brisa set I wouldn't mind getting that new white Brisa from the exchange shop.

[stardustreverie]

After a bunch of runs I have 25 gold and only 8 silver. They seem the rarest medal to me.

[TaigaUC]

Ball of clothes = do file check. Something is corrupt somewhere.

Collecting rings makes an emerald appear in Sonic's hands.
I think it's client-side, so probably nothing special beyond that.

[red1228]

Still a grind, but two-hundred runs is WAY better than nine-fucking-hundred

[Bellion]

Convinced that 250% rdr affects all badges, yes golds from e-trials too.

[Maenara]

New 12* talis has Dark tech +16% latent.

[wefwq]

Silver badge are piss easy to get, you can even trade bronze for silver.

[Achelousaurus]

I got 9 gold medals in 3 runs total.

Yeah the grind is inevitable. The point is to grind with a steady and secure progress instead of just spending easily as much time hoping this one time you'll get lucky.
The point is, this is just an LQ, it's far less annoying, far less clusterfucky and far less of a drag than ult. And you can even finish with pugs in a reasonable time.
In fact this is so easy and apparently the new 13* are 140atk lower than slave that I wish the grind was a bit more and in return the weapons were a bit stronger.


New 12* talis has Dark tech +16% latent.
Thank god it's ep 3 already.

Any word on the potential of the new 13*
I'm still waiting for 2nd tier stance potentials for hu/fi/br (aside from the pointless Raging Inferno on Flame Visit).

[Maenara]

According to Swiki, new 12* daggers have a unique latent: "when you attack from behind the fangs of Sekasane enemy, given damage and PP recovery amount is increased."

The google translatrix makes it sort of unclear. I'm assuming it's a sort of Wise Stance latent that grants bonus damage and PP recovery, but I don't know if it actually requires you to be in Wise Stance.

[Raujinn]

As far as I'm aware, Gold medals can only be obtained from etrial clears on SH and XH or by clearing XH. They don't drop. Source: http://www.g-heaven.net/topics/2015/05/150530a.html

10 or so runs in and I have 31 gold, so if this rate keeps up I could get a 60% in 200 or so runs. Hoping to use it to finally have a 60% 13* or two, depends on how much effort I'm willing to put into this dumb game.

Sekasane Fang is the Google Translated name of the potential. 背襲の牙, overly literally translating it, would be "Back Raiding Fang". The actual potential just says behind the enemy, no need for Wise Stance. Google Translate indicates "when you attack from behind the enemy, given damage and PP recovery amount is increased." No proper tests for values has been conducted yet.

Also, new JBs (http://pso2.swiki.jp/index.php?%E3%82%A2%E3%82%AF%E3%82%A2%E3%82%B7%E3% 83%A3%E3%83%9C%E3%83%B3%E3%82%A8%E3%83%83%E3%82%B8 ), Aqua Soap Edge, that have a latent that boosts tech damage at close range. No values yet, but they're all class which is nice.

[EvilMag]

The new unit set is baaaad.

[AsuravonD]

30 to each attack is lolhorrible

[Lyrise]

For what its worth, those units also have an innate +100hp to it, well at least the rear unit does. (not including the affixes that are already on it) The item description does say that it adds a huge amount of HP and defense, so I wouldn't be surprised if we also saw a nice number for resist values.

[Stickboy]

holyshit knuckle is superfast now

[Xaelouse]

They only finally caught up with twin daggers in usefulness, but does nothing else to help fighter's real problem

[TaigaUC]

Knuckles are so fast now that their PAs look/feel more like hysterical flailing than punching now.
And of course Heartless Impact still travels at a ridiculously slow speed.
What they should have done was kept the startup and boosted the travel speed.
Instead they removed the entire startup and left the travel speed looking like casual gliding.

Can't say I'm a fan of the changes. Will try again when I'm not tired as shit.

[Dammy]

80 gold badges for today
seems like free 13* weps

[LonelyGaruga]

And of course Heartless Impact still travels at a ridiculously slow speed.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jLI0hNIDkO8

Ties/beats Distract Wing depending on Gear. That's not slow.

[Rayden]

What are you guys talking about? Knuckles seem hardly any different to me. Just some minor adjustments to the PAs and a very small speed increase.

[Miles064]

I loved fists before and I can say I can feel the buffs a bit. Not to big but its seems flash thousand has a bit more range. Pendulum roll does seem a bit weird looking now though. Love the speed and dps it just looks like its would hurt to do.

Anyone happen to know what the potential is on Nox launcher? Swiki doesn't seem to know it exists, but quest records don't lie.

[Bellion]

Something like hitting breakable parts = damage and pp recovery increase.

[Maenara]

Odd potential for a launcher. Wonder what values are.

[Stickboy]

sonia hair looks unappealing, for some reason

[Suirano]

So Sonic Nyau just dropped a 12* katana in that LQ that wasn't a Nox series, apparently it's an all class with Tsukimi-sazanka PA with it.
I don't see it on the wiki either, at least not as of yet. Anybody else finding other stuff in this thing?


[spoiler-box]http://i.imgur.com/co3R6wV.png[/spoiler-box]

probably because it looks somewhat puffy.
long, straight hair are the best after all!

Drop <Nyau lv. 70+>
*) Increase damage when attacking in the air by 10% (lv 3)

[TaigaUC]

It's faster than Destruct Wing because it doesn't have a long startup or ending, and it travels for a longer time... but the actual velocity while moving is clearly waaaay slower.

What I mean is it doesn't look like a charging attack, more like a gliding attack.
It's like comparing Destruct Wing's rushing forward to Disperse Shrike's gliding forward.
If I'm going to rush in and slam someone, I'd be going in as fast as I can with lots of momentum.
That's the kind of thing that makes an action game attack feel great.
Knuckles has issues fitting into PSO2's gameplay, but at least some of its PAs were satisfying to use. Heartless Impact has always been lacking in that regard.

Anyway, interesting to know it gains more distance in shorter time.
It just feels like crap to use as an attack to me. Like steering bumper car or something.
It feels especially out of place with everything else sped up now.
Imagine if it moved like Destruct Wing or Symphonic Drive. That would feel amazing. But then it probably wouldn't be good for travelling.

very odd potential choice for a katana

[Rayden]

It makes sense to me. Tsukimi is an air PA, after all.

[final_attack]

And .... doesn't Katana Combat makes you airborne too when using auto-lock? I don't really remember though, haven't used auto-lock for Katana Combat for a very long time o-o

[ArcaneTechs]

The Silver Badge to Gold Conversion not existing just baffles me, the LQ pretty much is Lilipa UQ 2.0, gonna take forever to grind for 13*'s unless I play non stop and I mean non stop, would have been nice to convert Silver Badges since theres absolutely nothing to trade them in for after you get those 11* Units and aside from breaking those down into mats for crafting. Unless they plan to update Xie's shop, its pretty bad. Pretty much just feel like im running Lilipa UQ right now to be honest

its much more reliable, i got 80 gold badges on first day
you can get 2-5 badges in one run, and dont forget these weps are 30 element, not 20 , so you need only 2
yes, you have to play alot, but its guaranteed 13* after all, put in some effort

its not nearly as bad tbh.. it does require a lot of playing but if you only planned on getting 1 13* to 60 ele its a lot easier than lillipa thats for sure (slave wise)

Well I know its easier (I'm not a casual lazy ass though) but I mean I'm saying this after around 180 Lilipa UQ runs within the first week it just feels like this again only slightly better now that you have a chance to get them off E Trials and receive 2 Gold Badges after every run. It's less stress I suppose that they're at least 30% on the weapons so it's not all as bad but I think a conversion would still be nice since again, after getting the units theres nothing to do but stockpile the Silver badges.

All in all, this probably what should have been Lilipa UQ in the first place

i know gold badges are from trial only. so rdr won't affect gold ones, rite?
