[Sp-24]

15 more hours to get my last class boost.

[Hysteria1987]

Keen to see the new future-city. Shame I got an early morning the next day, but I can at least give it a trial run :-P

[wefwq]

Failed to get my RA to level 75 on time, RIP in pieces.

[untrustful]

Failed to get my RA to level 75 on time, RIP in pieces.

Magatsu in 15 mins, also a td4 (demise) at 8am est. You can maybe get 3 level ups from that, not to mention shaqing should get you on point if you have friends/team mates looking to help you.

[cheapgunner]

Can't wait to get a new character to make and build for Su. Even if the class is meh I'm still gonna go all out with it.

[pkemr4]

looking forward to seeing what new bugs and glitches occur

[Raujinn]

I'm probably gonna try to get a fresh SU character to 75 and then sit on it a while until people figure out what works/doesn't work and the real practical uses of the currently available pets and what to invest in for upgrades.

[Flaoc]

pretty much gonna cap su via vhaq then never play it again l0l

[Vintasticvin]

Wooooo in just hours we'll be riding Mr. Toad's Wild Ride! Buckle up sparky and bring the Space Coc cause this is gunna be something we may wanna forget!

The summoner class has been added to the Offline Character Creation (Psvita)

http://i.imgur.com/d1Bh2x7.jpg?1

[Anduril]

The icon. It's a puppy. I enjoy puppies. Also, seriously, why haven't they added Fighter, Gunner, and Techer to initial creation?

[isCasted]

Yeah, that's ridiculous

[Korima]

So one thing, the people who are using the tweaker, it updates itself exactly when the Episode 4 arrives or maybe we have to wait a bit for Aida to "send instructions" to the tweaker to download the patch?

Also, where people will discuss the things about quests and new items added? I mean because all of that will untranslated.

The way it works is that it's basically the same as updating the game with the tweaker as usual. If you have the prepatch downloaded, the tweaker's just got to get the remaining files downloaded and then install that and the prepatch files from the _precede folder. Nothing too tricky or anything, just it's gonna ask hey there's an update and so you'd choose yes.

There'll likely be a thread for translations and all that coming up later after the game goes live again.

[KLMS1]

Unless Sega suddenly dramatically ramps up the complexity of COs it's not like those are exactly complicated you know... "kill so-and-so many of these critters of level x+ (possibly in a particular map or area)", "kill these critters of level x+ (possibly in a particular map or area) for Twenty Bear Asses", "clear quest Whatever with a rank of at least Something".
And the actual quests and freefields themselves basically boil down to "kill everything that moves".

[Poyonche]

2759 files to download with prepatch !?

Am i the only one ?

Or did Tweaker didn't restore story patch backup correctly ?

[LegoRappy]

^I got 3388 files with prepatch

Gotta Catch Em All..

[Cyber Meteor]

@Poyonche I'm downloading the exact same amount of files (2759) but i've never downloaded the prepatch. I've learned to never download a pre-patch when using Tweaker because it doesn't update his file list so it basically download everything like it was never here/done. So no, it's not it didn't restore story backup, it's just from Tweaker point of view the prepatch doesn't exists

[arkeido]

893 files with prepatch (old method update because horror stories of new update method)
http://i.imgur.com/oWAg0KB.jpg

[Cyber Meteor]

^I got 3388 files with prepatch

As expected i'll have to do a check for old/missing files after big updates:-P

@arkeido As long as you don't download prepatches the new method is good (well, the new method will just erase prepatch and download full patch)

[arkeido]

As expected i'll have to do a check for old/missing files after big updates:-P

@arkeido As long as you don't download prepatches the new method is good (well, the new method will just erase prepatch and download full patch)

That explain why the 3-4GB download happen with prepatch. :nono:

[blkbox11]

So to clarify:

Old method will use the prepatch properly, and you only need the remaining files.

New method will delete prepatch and just redownload the entire thing.

Is this correct?

I don't know which is more likely to cause file corruption, but I've downloaded the prepatch.

EDIT: Tried the old method after declining the prepatch install. Still have to download the 3.68 gigs worth of files. Not sure if that was the right way to use the old method or not, but it was the only way I could access the option. Next time I won't bother with prepatches either.

[Cyber Meteor]

As expected i'll have to do a check for old/missing files after big updates:-P

I was right, i checked for old/missing files afterward and currently downloading 425 more files ;-)

EDIT : 1.09 GB of files added in the end, lol

[Zorafim]

Is this the patch with the new customization options?

[KLMS1]

Is this the patch with the new customization options?

AFAIK.
In other words, BUTTS. *.*

[Kondibon]

Is this the patch with the new customization options?Yeah.

[Zorafim]

Oh. Time to reinstall PSO2 then.

[dr apocalipsis]

Apparently Prepatch worked for once with Tweaker. I let it download 'pre-patch' right after server maintenance, since I wanted to avoid the waste of time this time. Once done, it downloaded remaining 580MB. Doing an old/missing files search only redownloaded .exe as usual.

[Poyonche]

EP4 is up tomorrow, has an important math exam on thursday.

Why. _(:3｣∠)_

[blkbox11]

Can anyone please provide a pso2_bin folder size (without Eng patches) for reference?

Mine appears to have shrunk, even before taking precede folder into account.

[raialeus]

Mine is about 32.5GB, 3.2GB comes from the precede folder.

[blkbox11]

Hmm, I only have 31.5GB after updating. Might have to run a filecheck.

[Darki]

Oh. Time to reinstall PSO2 then.

Hell yeah.

[Asakaze]

EP4 is up tomorrow, has an important math exam on thursday.

Heh you're not alone~
I have my physics test tonight x_x

[Vintasticvin]

Dammit it feels like Christmas and I'm itching to play EP4 and rock out with the roleplayers.

when tweaker decides to download more than 3k files without prepatch, right click on the bar and cancel, instead click on orb and pick to check for missing and outdated files

Eh, I don't like the gold trim, but it's just the main screen so w/e.

Now I'll just wait what HP Restorate, AllAttackBonus, AttackHighUp, DefenseHighUp value is ....... for my tank Hu again (might go HuSu) :wacko:

Saiki is dead... for R-ATK units at least

[RealKillaK]

Good thing I never upgraded my pathetic R-ATK set

[Aine]

Actually I take that back

It's Rear/Arm only, 15PP per unit, +90RATK and +50DEX for set

So Saiki still has more PP

[final_attack]

https://twitter.com/auw1975/status/692174551837442048

Saiki is dead... for R-ATK units at least

Wouldn't it's the same as using 2x PP craft Tian for R-Atk? :o

I meant ....
New unit = +15 PP (x2) = +30 PP
Tian (PP craft) = +10 PP (x2) + 10 PP (set bonus) = +30 PP

With same +90 R-Atk?

I'm curious with the looks though (fashion is important too .... I used XQ Units for the looks :P R-Atk affixes)

[FireswordRus]

hmmm no tier 6 graphic?

[RealKillaK]

I can live without 10pp with 30 more attack just for the sake of not using saiki anymore, having 6 different sets of saiki is annoying.

[Tunga]

nvm lol

[Rakurai]

Well, now I'm glad I didn't waste money getting Saiki units for my gunner.

Though I doubt these will be any easier to get then Saiki.

[Bellion]

This New set for +90 ATK, with Austere weapon and Leg unit for another +80 ATK.
And +35PP for uncrafted Austere leg, or +40 for PP Extend Austere leg.

The real question becomes, is an extra 110 ATK (exclusive to Austere weapons) going to overshadow the +15 extra PP(overall general usage)?

Austere weapon + Austere leg unit is 80 defense. Only Austere rear + arm gives attack and it's only 60 at that.

The animation and overall transition effect appear to be more smooth compared to the last one.


hmmm no tier 6 graphic?
Not yet.
I think it'll comes out along with PS4 version official release.

The benchmark for PC will come out on next month though, so you can boot it up to get glimpse of taste of graphic slider level 6 on PC.

[KLMS1]

what. .-.

[raialeus]

what. .-.

Basically checked swiki without ever noticing the little shield symbol on the Sword/Rifle/Rod icon under the set bonus

That wasn't the absurd part of the wording. :|

As Pet level increases, so do the amount of PAs they will have learned. Mmm, I actually like this concept.
Below level 20, they will only have 3 PAs to use.
At level 20, they will get their 4th PA.
At level 40, they will get their 5th PA.

[Xaelouse]

That's certainly going to make it easier to get Orbit weapons assuming 2016 badges are as common as the 2015 ones were.

Thank God that they finally did this.

inb4 crazy exchange cost like 100:1 (we seen legacy camo cost 350 gold)

still good news for caligula though...

Colour me surprised. ._.

[Anduril]

Completely expected. Considering how much they are implementing, I would have been surprised had they not extended maintenance further. I also expect an emergency maintenance later this week since they will probably hit unforeseen bugs that weren't an issue on the dev servers.

EDIT: Ooooo, I wonder if it will eventually get bad enough where they have to dust off PSU's trusty buddy, ROLLBACK!

so female characters can't use the SORO suit to transform into a male cast since they are separate versions

SEGA really doesn't get it

"Made Xiera as the operator for Mining Base: Demise"

At least no more Melitta. :V

[CrossOmega]

Who is Xierra? The yellow haired one? I thought she was Melitta who finally had a hair makeover :v

[Poyonche]

Oh so Melitta is not fired ?

Meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeh. At least no more "Waaa- Waaaaaaaaaaaah ! A very powerful enemy has appeared ! Be careful, Be very careful !"*5 during Wave 5. Gonna look what version it is for X/S/Cierra :wacko:

[yoshiblue]

Waiting for the moment they let your own characters become navigators, with customization for comments. Would need to get them new voice tickets though.

[Poyonche]

No voice that sounds like "Powerful enemy have appeared" or "Darkers are getting stronger!" :(

[Korima]

Guys I selected 1 player mission from the Arks Quest Counter but when I'm in the Camship it seems I need something, it says "something japanese x 1"

[jooozek]

sounds like you selected the bonus mission, not the arks mission

[NephyrisX]

Anyone else crashing after the CGI intro? Anyway to fix it?

[Korima]

sounds like you selected the bonus mission, not the arks mission

Maybe, There are two 1 player missions but I don't have any Arks mission of Tokyo so maybe I need something to activate them?

[Xaeris]

As far as I can tell, it unlocks after you complete the first chapter of story mode. To do that, just keep accessing the event cutscenes by talking to kawaii desu navigator and choosing the first option to go through the event nodes. Eventually, one of them will be the quest. Complete that, and I urge you to watch the cutscenes even if you don't speak Japanese; you'll pick up enough to have a hearty lol anyway. Finish that, and you'll be able to do the first Tokyo mission.

Okay the problem is... how i talk to her again? right now I saw the Io's cutscene.

[Xaeris]

To get back there, use the teleporter on the second floor of the Gate area (the floor Klotho is on). It's in the back.

You get a ridiculous amount of EXP, as four Takamikazuchi showed up. I also got 15 Kagazeo stones and one of the new 11* units.
