I don't believe you need to do anything, but it wouldn't hurt to put one SP into one of the classes getting the rebalance.

What does "Advance Pet Rarity" really do on a pet?
I could not see much difference between leveling pets by feeding them a egg and using "advance pet rarity"

[Anduril]

You use Advance Pet Rarity to increase the star rarity of your pet (ex. say you find a 13* Wanda Egg, but you have already been leveling a 9* Wanda; using Advance Pet Rarity allows you to use that 13* egg to make your current 9* Wanda into a 13* Wanda). Each rarity level has a numerical level cap and thus a cap on their stats, so increasing your current pet's rarity allows you to keep making it stronger instead of starting from scratch with a new one.

dodge when the bubble effect around needles about to fully expand

So just b4 the bubbles vanish? cause when I try at the flash I still get frozen.

Also More Ra/Hu love - grab the aggro for everything in TD (one point and war cry)

[Evangelion X.XX]

@Kole:

Yes, you have to dodge very, very late, at the very last second; I would say not before, but right at the point when the bubble vanish, so you have to be very patient, and get used to the timing. The timing is pretty strict.

Hey guys, i have absolutely NO idea how to proceed with the Story Board now tha ep 4 is here. I've been grinding episode 3 like crazy these last few days, but with no translation i don't even begin to know what to do to advance this new story board ;_; are there any guides arround??

In EP4, there's a teleporter on the second floor of the Gate area that takes you to the Bridge. You can only make Story Board progress in there, so start there.

yeah now that i found that bridge it seems like it is lol, i guess they wanted to make it more accesible.

How does one get into Challenge Mile, and how does it play? Is it still being played?

[wefwq]

How does one get into Challenge Mile, and how does it play? Is it still being played?
Either move to challenge quest block or shared ship to play CQ.
There's CQ Miles boost every week, the quest that got boosted change every week.
CQ are pretty dead nowadays unless it receive big boost for event/campaign.

[Evangelion X.XX]

To get Challenge Miles, you have do Challenge Mode, best done on Shared Blocks (Green Teleporter).

As far as are there still people doing it? Not so much.

There are two Challenge modes: the Second one is short and straightforward, but the first one isn't and takes about an hour to do. Also, for the first one, there are four roles that are generally assigned at the teleporter 先行（the person who rushes to the next area to stop the clock), タげ (the person who tags the enemy and distracts it while others are finishing up mobs, collecting VR-green-energy capsules), ファンジ（the person who gets intentionally captured and gets trapped by a funji and fights Dark Ragne alone), and VR管理 (The guy who's in charge of collecting VRs, all the blatant ones, and hiddens ones).

Doing the first Challenge Mode can be tricky and there's a guide on it somewhere here on PSOW、in the PSO2: Gameplay, Guides & Walkthroughs section. Please look for it.

Note that if you have a considerably slow computer/lots of processing lag, the time freeze will be an amount of time (dependent on your processing lag) -earlier- than before the bubbles fully expand and vanish. But watching the bubbles as a visual cue should still help tremendously.

Also, if you carry around an umblla stick (or any other tech weapon) on you remember that you can swap to it and utilize the long tech dodge (mirage escape) even if not playing as a tech class, and swap back to your normal weapon to break the needles.
The timing is much more lenient as opposed to utilizing for example knuckles shift action.

Own questions.

What happens if a person removes a friend from the friend list - would the ex-friend still have the person on their friend list? (Or just hides status? Or a notification is sent? Or other?)

Is it possible to remove ownership (yellow circle and slash) on a twelve star weapon for trading?

As usual, thank you in advance!

I use Shadowplay to record footage of PSO2. The videos look great, but the file size is ridiculous and would take too much time to upload (not to mention it would eat my 125GB transfer limit pretty fast). I don't know anything about video editing, so what free software would you recommend using to compress these videos and what setting should I use to have a smaller video while still having a decent image resolution?

[the_importer_]

I've been using avidemux for that. If you play in windowed, it can crop. You can resize it. If some of the footage is useless, you can export just a section of it. There's also plenty of quality settings you can fiddle with to find the best balance between quality and filesize. Some versions of shadowplay also bust the video for some heavier editors out there (Premier, Vegas, etc.) and avidemux can fix that, too.
Great, lightweight little thing.

Cool, what settings do you use?

Why do my autowords only appear in party chat?

[Altiea]

Why do my autowords only appear in party chat?

They do that by default. Add tags to your autowords to make them appear in other chats; for example, add /a to the beginning of an autoword to make it appear in public chat.

[KazukiQZ]

^But, please, don't make all of your autowords appear in public. It's very annoying.

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

add /a to the beginning of an autoword to make it appear in public chat.

You know not what you have done.

[KazukiQZ]

^If it gets too annoying, I just straight up blacklist the player(s) =3=

[Perfect Chaos]

What I really hate are those that spam public autowords for everything with Symbol Arts and Cut-Ins! Those are the worst. Especially cut-ins with hideous-looking characters (but those ones are definitely trolls).
...but we're getting a little off topic here... LOL

[AlphaBlob]

I feel like now's the perfect time to rant about it, fuck public autowords, no one who isn't in your party cares if you found a rare item, because we can't even see what you got so there's literally no point... Only valid reason to use public auto word is when you go AIS, use your photon blast or when you when you keep dying so people know who to avoid.

[Altiea]

I try to keep all autos to a minimum nowadays because I feel like I'm annoying people with them. I just haven't changed any of them on my main because I haven't gotten round to it. I don't mind other peoples' public autos as long as it isn't interfering with my play.

[NephyrisX]

I love using public auto words to annoy everyone else.

Like this one guy who's mad for the whole TD4 telling me off for using them, even though it is completely Unrelated to my suggestion for the MPA to not be stingy in using AIS in every round above Round 2.

[Evangelion X.XX]

I used to have the simple Autoword, "ありがとうございます” for rez, and heals, but even then, I took it off a long time ago because I know even that simple message can be annoying/cluttering up the screen. Now, I have nothing on autoword; if there's something I want to say, I say it directly via Chat-Window.

But you know what feature I would really like? The ability to vote to kick players out of the MPA.

You use Advance Pet Rarity to increase the star rarity of your pet (ex. say you find a 13* Wanda Egg, but you have already been leveling a 9* Wanda; using Advance Pet Rarity allows you to use that 13* egg to make your current 9* Wanda into a 13* Wanda). Each rarity level has a numerical level cap and thus a cap on their stats, so increasing your current pet's rarity allows you to keep making it stronger instead of starting from scratch with a new one.

So, If I use a 9* pet on another 9* pet, nothing would happen at all?

[Perfect Chaos]

You can do that if you want to change its personality before leveling its rarity up higher, in case the personality isn't the one you want yet.

I'm wanting to extend my 13 star Slave Arrow and then grinding it to (+10) to allow my ranger to use it for the bonuses ranger class gives.

However, I've read that extending weapons above 7 star rarity isn't worth it because of the damage lower damage variation?

1.) You can't extend 13* weapons
2.) Damage variation is reduced significantly when using silva-tier mats or higher.

Question about Edel Arrow's hidden potential. Activating Rapid Shot will increase damage in general (any PAs) if you have Rapid Shot 1 & 2 as well as Rapid Shot Master. So would activating Rapid Shot when you have the hidden potential also boost Rapid Shot 1 & 2 and Rapid Shot Master by 30~34%?

So would activating Rapid Shot when you have the hidden potential also boost Rapid Shot 1 & 2 and Rapid Shot Master by 30~34%?AFAIK, there are no potentials that alter the values of skills themselves. Potentials such as these, including Edel Arrow's, simply add on another layer of multipliers when the condition holds. So in Edel Arrow's case, it doesn't increase any effect of Rapid Shoot; it simply gives you an additional multiplier when you have Rapid Shoot active. But since it's another multiplier, the gain in damage you get from the 500 R-ATK gain will also get increased due to the nature of multipliers.

Zieg weekly CO, do it with multiple character.
You can obtain 10 more of them from casino reward shop, and then there's easter EQ, it usually give like 1~ per run.

I read recently recently that while Showtime can only be activated when wielding TMGs, that the damage bonus from high time applies even when switching to other weapons.

So, is this actually true?

Also, if it is true do you need to keep TMGs equipped for 7 seconds before you get the max bonus - or can you immediately switch out to your preferred weapon and receive the maximum bonus after 7 seconds anyway?

just use the grind 30%s from the excube shop, and some risk reduction +1s. That's about it.

And probably not for an ares wand? We're getting new 13*s in 2 weeks afterall.

1. It's true.

2. It goes up as long as you don't get hit. However, you need to re-equip TMGs at the end for One More Time to kick in.

With the main class weapon bonus and 13*s it's more trouble than it's worth to do a High Time subclass weapon build though.

I'm trying to use the item Grind Skip >5 to grind my Red RodUm... Do yourself a flavor and don't use that Grind Skip item on a Red Rod. Red weapons are super easy to grind due being of lower rarity, so just save those Grind Skips for whe you get a 13*. It'll help immensely. If you use it on that Red Rod, you'll regret it in time.
On another note, Red weapons aren't good for tech weapons since they are more affected by weapon damage variance, and also because there are other weapons with multipliers that are just as high (the ones with element-boosting potentials) that are better to use instead.

When using the same item during affixing, do I get higher % when using the same item more often?
E.g. if I Dies Ryu as base and 3 Dies Ryu fodders, will I get higher % if I add a 4th Dies Ryu fodder regardless of needing it for affixes or not (like Flict Arma x3 + one Dies Ryu without any affix I need)?

Same affix bonus caps at 2 of the same additional item. 3 or more does nothing but keep the same bonus as 2 of the same fodders. You also must use all fodders that you are using to affix to be the same item also, so for example

Gigush + 1x gigush 10% bonus
Gigush + 2x gigush 15% bonus
Gigush + 5x gigush 15% bonus
Gigush + 4x gigush + junk item gets no bonus.

Also this bonus is multiplicative to the final affix %, not additive and is applied before affix boost % items.

e.g. 60% -> 69% with 15% bonus.

1). kill everything. <overly dramatic voice> EVERYTHING! </overly dramatic voice>*
2). I mean everything. This means killing every add in the boss room before you kill the boss, until it stops spawning adds.
3). I really mean everything. Full clear both maps, if you're not already doing so.
4). PSE Burst. Sustain it as long as you possibly can. It's the only way to get more enemies to spawn in an AQ. More enemies = more caps.
5). I usually run a rare booster (but usually not a 250%, AQ drops aren't good enough for that). I'm not sure if this actually affects cap/stone drops or not, but I usually get plenty of both.

Saiki is a possible drop from the Bonus Quests, but that all depends on getting keys. Also, you can get Pink ARKS Badges from using a Rare Enemy Trigger on SH and XH, and those can be used to trade for Rear/P Drives that can then be traded for 11* unit passes (if you have premium). Other than that, there is a CM Boost going on this week, so you can do Challenge Quests and get yourself an Ideal Unit set. (there's probably other things I'm forgetting)

There's no telling about your current rank, though if you're going with human party member, certain boss room will have fodder enemies on it that you can kill if you using the teleporter together with your party member.

[SteveCZ]

Can someone tell me the easiest way to only get A ranks in quests (aka I'm lazy and don't know how many points each mob gives)

Not a certain answer, but my way is by killing 15 enemies in area 1, and another 15 in area 2. Double it if the area is only 1. Boss area doesn't matter (as you still have to finish it by killing it anyway).
I've tried to kill 40+ enemies in area 1 and kill none in area 2 (and vice-versa), I'll always get B. So try to kill the same amount of each area except boss area. 15 enemies are my minimum each area.

Saiki is a possible drop from the Bonus Quests, but that all depends on getting keys. Also, you can get Pink ARKS Badges from using a Rare Enemy Trigger on SH and XH, and those can be used to trade for Rear/P Drives that can then be traded for 11* unit passes (if you have premium). Other than that, there is a CM Boost going on this week, so you can do Challenge Quests and get yourself an Ideal Unit set. (there's probably other things I'm forgetting)

thanks for the reply, but how do i get the keys to the bonus quest for tokyo? I was thinking if they came from the daily featured quests but i havent got a single one

they arent guaranteed, they are pretty rare - my experience is maybe 1 key per 6 featured quests

Pretty much RNG. Whenever you get a Present, there's an off chance you'll get a Bonus Key instead of whatever that NPC normally gives you. The odds are rather low, especially for Gold Keys. Your best bet is to run all the Recommended Quests for every character; if you play free, that's up to nine attempts at a Key per day. Since Keys are items, you can shift them across characters as you please if you want a high level character to do it for the better drops.

Featured quest rewards are on a per ship basis, so the only way you can get more than 3 a day is if all your characters are on different ships.

What is the best (Casual) melee class for TACOs/XQs

[Z-0]

probably brhu, you get kanran for easy aoe, guren for gap closing, sakura and hatou for focusing points, pretty easy. bo feels really slow due to having weird PAs and sword needs uptime so it's kind of messy (so not hu or bo).

fihu is also good if you use parts but brhu is definitely easier to roll with.

[Cyber Meteor]

Does the Attack Advance ring works on Photon Blades (shift action) ?

[Kole]

it's depend on mob size

if giant in harukotan you just kill about 10 of them you can get S rank
but the digg in vol cave even you kill 30 of them you still got b rank

so for a you need to kill about 25 middle size mob

Maybe it's based on exp? I'ma try a 20 count and counting the tiny mobs as 0.5 "points", medium mobs as 1, and large mobs as 2 and see how that works.

EDIT:Tried 25 "points" and it worked out (also decided to count field bosses as 10)

Also what are some useful photon blasts?

[Anduril]

Does the Attack Advance ring works on Photon Blades (shift action) ?
No, it does not since they are not a "normal attack", just as it does not work on Snatch Step or on the Tech Explosions from Wand Gear.

Has there been a thorough English explanation of the new attacking controls yet, and if so, where can I find it?

[devilxhunterr]

[Kondibon]

Has there been a thorough English explanation of the new attacking controls yet, and if so, where can I find it?I don't think there's been a detailed explanation but basically every weapon is going to use the front and back palette style instead of the combo style, and will have 3 actions on each side instead of 2, weapon actions will have to be set in one of the PA slots however. In effect, weapons with weapon actions get 1 more PA slot, weapons without actions get 2 more, and melee weapons (and mech guns :wacko:) won't have to worry about the order of their PAs for combos.

Here's a picture from bumped
http://www.bumped.org/psublog/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/3-Button-Style-Sword.jpg

EDIT: Also, just to clear something else you might have been reading, it's 6 ACTION slots, NOT 6 PA/Tech slots, as it includes normal attacks and weapon actions, you could technically have all 6 slots be techs with a tech weapon, but that's not the case for other weapons, and some like Katana and Mech guns rely a lot on their weapon action, so you can't always skip out on that either.

[KazukiQZ]

For melee weapon, i might just do like this:

Front
Normal attack-weapon action-PA1

Back
Normal attack-weapon action-PA2


Or replace the Normal Attack on Back side with PA3.
So if like this, it's not too different from the old system, but also save me some weapon slots.

I'd consider TMG as melee weapon too xD

Other ranged/tech weapon won't have adaptability problem, i guess.

[Kole]

Uhh, can someone EXPLAIN how to properly play Gunners? I've tried playing them but I can't figure them out.

[Evangelion X.XX]

@Kole:

Check out Selpha's guide on Gunner:

http://www.fulldive.nu/2015/04/21/gunner-gameplay/

Essentially, what you want to do is main Gu/Ra and remain airborne the majority of the time like (90-95% of the time) with few exceptions. It takes a little finesse to play Gu/Ra, but I think it's definitely one of the more fun class and flashy class to play.

Use S-Roll to dodge enemies' attacks, use Grim Barrage to close in on enemies, use Ariel Shooting to gain height, use CRAFTED Bullet Squall to cheese most enemies, once in a while do Elder Rebellion at enemies at a distance, also Reverse Tap has its usage. Your main damage comes from spamming Satellite Aim. Messiah Time is meh, Dead Approach is pretty meh, Heel Stab sometimes has its usage, but the majority of the time is meh, Don't even bother with Infinite Fire, it sucks.

Think of Gu/Ra more as a melee class more than anything.

For bossing, use WB, use CT, build chain to around 20, and then spam Satellite Aim if you can, if not, then Elder Rebellion, or even SatCan/EndAtt.

Edit:

Don't for get to use Gravity Bombs/Stun Grenades for mobbing, etc.

[Kichiro]

I'm trying to obtain a Harai Houshun (ハライホウシュン) Katana and the only way to obtain it is through the matterboard or buying it from another player, with a 12* pass. (which is out of my reach)

Or perhaps a better alternative for a T-ATK Katana?

@JCry:

Coast Sapphires are considered small-sized Jewel/Gems.

So you would use:

海岸ムール貝のオイルづけ which boosts the acquisition rate by 30%.

It can be made by using:

1x 海岸ムール貝 (Coastal Moule/Mussel/Shellfish)
10x 海岸オリーブ (Coastal Olives)

You can pick which style you want from the options; any character made before this update will still be in the old style (2-button) by default, while new characters made afterward will default to the new style (3-button).

Thank you, the last bit and the image were just what I needed. It's exactly very close to the PSO/PS0 system then, just with more actions competing for buttons.

If I wasn't dead set on keeping evade on X, I could faithfully replicate the PSO control scheme under the new option. I'll figure something out. L3 is free for some command that never needs to be held or tapped rapidly ... like the Quick Menu.

On KBAM, there's really no tough choices involved with the new scheme, since one is hardly pressed for available buttons.

Edit: Realized they're missing one thing from PSO: PSO shifted all four face buttons. Even though it wasn't an attack button the dedicated "Access" button (Triangle or Nintendo Y) also had an alternate function when holding R. If they had done the same thing here by allowing one non-attack button to be shifted to do something else, alongside the shifted action palette, this new system would work out a whole lot more comfortably.

More Edit: They could also have allowed PA's on sub-palettes; guess they overlooked that possibility too.

[Kondibon]

About time, since I can finally put everything on 1 pallet and make way for other weapons.

My current bow has ~800 R-ATK [+10] (can't get anything much stronger since I'm not premium)

Should I get the slave bow, grind to [+10] for ~1600 R-ATK and switch to Br/Ra?
Or get the slave rifle and keep the bonus dmg perks from ranger main?

This is pretty incredible - even if melee users only opt to use one side of the palette they have more PA options (instead of just 3 in a row for example)

Ideal beat Ares on boss EQ, since most of the time Ares user don't have time/chance to fill PB gauge to ignite it's latent to maximum power.
And ideal don't have any hidden latent, for now.

You can actually just attribute grind all three together with the Attribute Change, and it will end up as the element you want at 60%.

Interesting. How exactly do you ignite the power once the PB gauge is full? Is it automatic? Also, I notice there are some bars above the action pallet which almost fill up ..what is this?

[Anduril]

For the Ares potential, it is just automatic (ie. the more full the PB gauge is, the higher the damage multiplier).
Are you talking about the one above your weapon? That is your Gear Gauge. What it does varies by weapon (For example, with DBs it determines how many Photon Blades you throw with your shift action, and on TMGs it gives a damage boost).

[Unlmtd]

I see. How about the ideal? So how come the Gear guage never fills up all the way? there's always one bar left to go?

[Anduril]

I see. How about the ideal? So how come the Gear guage never fills up all the way? there's always one bar left to go?
Ideal's potential automatically gives you the damage bonus when you attack a boss or sub-boss. What weapon are you using? Some Gear Gauges end up draining over time.

I think it depends on your overall character build /weapon strategy.

Ideals are still nice, but note that you can use CM for element fodders lately.

I don't know how powerful the Tagami set will be, but I heard Revolution weapons
are something near to Ares - Tokyo weapons.

I would wait a bit and check how difficult it is to get a Revolution weapon before
exchanging CM.

what weapon types + PAs are good for each ranged/melee classes for mobbing in (SH)AQs? never got any melee past level 40 and been like over a year since i last played ranger: braver and bouncer counting as melee obv

[Evangelion X.XX]

If it's just to level up those classes that you rarely use, I would suggest just running VHAQ while subbing Fo: X/Fo; everything still dies very quickly, and the experience acquisition rate is still good, for VHAQ.

Recommended Area to run for Exp, is as always, City Area.

But to fully address your question, recommended mobbing PAs for each of the melee/range classes:

Braver: Guren
Bouncer: Dispersion Strike
Fighter: Chaos Riser/Hurricane Sender
Ranger: Gravity Bomb ---> Whatever PA, Cluster Bullet, Crafted Divine Launcher, Cosmos Breaker
Gunner: Shift Period, Heel Stab, Crafted Bullet Squall, Elder Rebellion for Enemies at a distance that you don't feel like chasing.
Summoner: Torim Stab
Hunter: Speed Rain, Slide End, Assault Buster, Nova Strike, Ride Slasher, Over End (maybe)

But all, in all: I'd still recommend to just sub Fo for whatever main class that you want to level up.

How long does this pre-patch download usually take through tweaker? Mine has been going for almost a full day now. I feel like something is very wrong.

its 17.9gb long, so depending on your conection it will take a while. mine is a crappy 180kb/s download speed and took 3 days of not turning off the pc

speaking of the prepatch, i have a couple of questions rewarding the patch

- i downloaded the prepatch from the torrent link that was given, i just have to put the content of this file onto the _precede folder in order for the game to find it on 20?

- when the prepatch installs, does it takes anymore space on the disk as it does similar to how you extract a zip file it actually copy the content onto the pc again? i ask because i had to delete a lot of stuff on my secondary disk in order to be able to download the patch and i only have 2gb left on it so if the game does a copy like instalation of the files, requiring to have around another 17 or so gb in order to install them i dont know what im gonna do...

its 17.9gb long, so depending on your conection it will take a while. mine is a crappy 180kb/s download speed and took 3 days of not turning off the pc

speaking of the prepatch, i have a couple of questions rewarding the patch

- i downloaded the prepatch from the torrent link that was given, i just have to put the content of this file onto the _precede folder in order for the game to find it on 20?

- when the prepatch installs, does it takes anymore space on the disk as it does similar to how you extract a zip file it actually copy the content onto the pc again? i ask because i had to delete a lot of stuff on my secondary disk in order to be able to download the patch and i only have 2gb left on it so if the game does a copy like instalation of the files, requiring to have around another 17 or so gb in order to install them i dont know what im gonna do...
1) Yes.
2) If you are worried about space, the safest thing to do is to manually move the the prepatch files into the game files once the game goes down (also, let the official launcher patch the game that day if you can); this is what I always do, and have never had any issues.

How does one use Banish Arrow?

[Anduril]

How does one use Banish Arrow?
Banish Arrow tracks the damage you do within a certain amount of time, then explodes dealing that total collected damage. Charging it just makes its explosion radius larger, so charging isn't necessary for bosses. Basically, you shoot a banish, then start sinking damage into the enemy, and after a while it explodes causing more damage.

i allready moved the _precede folder with the downloaded patch on tho the pso2_bin folder, is it normal that the tweaker is still asking me if i want to download the pre-patch?

also my torrent of the patch got a 39.1 MB of 1 hashfail, should i be worried about that?

[KazukiQZ]

It's normal, but dw. If I have time.to spare ,just let tweaker find the prepatch and update the prepatch list so that it won't ask agai n till 20th April update. I did so with my prepatched downloaded from vanilla launcher, and tweaker repeatedly asked me about it, so I just let it check the prepatch file list , so no extra or wasted download.

The problem is that it uses your tree/build for stat calculations. And unless you use the same gear OR post what you used, results won't be the same.

That's minor details if you just wanna compare one weapon with the other simmiliar weapon. To check which one do more damage, instead of looking for exact numbers.

[Z-0]

Not quite, for example Edel Arrow is the strongest bow after a certain point of R-Atk (can even beat Austere), but with low R-Atk, Edel is weaker than all the good 13* Bows (Ideal, Orbit, Austere).

The update for the Vita version is 8521 MB, so take that into consideration.

The update for the Vita version is 8521 MB, so take that into consideration.

Yeah I am aware of that but this the other info from bumped that I saw:

"Vita players may encounter insufficient storage space when downloading the 8521 MB patch on April 20th. Those affected should delete the PSO2 application and re-download the game and patch once the update becomes available."

With the limited remaining space I was wondering if a new card is needed now or if just re-downloading would be enough as it doesn't say the space for doing that using a 16gig card.

You can try to redownload, but they said a long time ago that the game would likely exceed the 16gb card. It's probably best to get the 32gb one at a point, but the 16gb may work for now.

[Spiral]

Thinking of starting pso2es sometime since 100 more storage space. Questions.

Is pso2es storage character or ship bound? (Also, does it have any limitations?)
Does pso2es maintenance period (if any) occur in tandem with pso2's maintenance period?
Any early on tips? (Or is "pre-max level content early game" extremely short?)
Is there any specific methods/path (ex. get-hera-quick?) that should be followed to quickly "level" and be able to participate in max difficulty emergency/raids?
Is using austs/saiks/etc from pso2 a good idea or should something else be followed?
Are any classes/weapons far superior/easier/imbalanced over others so should be used in pso2es?
Also, is it possible to get around error 203 to be on both pso2 and pso2es at the same time?

Download Version Size: 3098 MB＋8521 MB

I'm not sure if that first indicates the new size or not since the game itself at the moment is already at 12g+ so I was just wondering about that if I was not understanding it correctly.

PSO2es Storage in the main game is per ship, and you must log in to PSO2es at least once every 30 days to keep it.
Happens on the same day, but it is usually longer (starting earlier and ending later).

1. PSO2es Storage is Ship-bound. If you don't log into PSO2es for a month, it becomes locked. PSO2es Storage is the only box that can be accessed by both games.
2. PSO2es maint occurs usually at the same time as PSO2 maintenance. Give or take thirty minutes to an hour.
3. Do Story/ARKS Quests and don't squander Medals. Grab friends with high power Chips and friends that log in often; you can ask around here for help with that. Pay attention to esScratch news, since scratching for new Chips is going to be where pretty much all your damage comes from. Keep salt levels low.
4. There's no "easy" way to level outside of using Shared EXP (read: play PSO2), since early game flies by so fast it's irrelevant. Spam EQ for best results.
5. 13* gives you bonus Element, which means extra damage. If you can use them and the class in question is sufficiently trained, go for it. Don't fret if you don't have one though, since there are also Elemental Resonance weapons that are readily available from Player Shop.
6. TMGs are considered really good from what I know. You can pick any class you desire, since any class can use anything; class only affects stats (minor issue) and necessary level to get a weapon's base stats (less of a minor issue)
7. Not as far as anyone knows. This is because of interconnectivity features.

I'm going to make an alternate character and try leveling force but I have no experience with them so I was looking for some help, I like Ice the best and am wondering If It's possible to have an Ice build[ I'm not sure If you can only "master" one element] and what would be the best skill tree and subclass to have for It, If anyone has a skill tree they are willing to share I'd appreciate It, Or just any Information as I'm clueless when It comes to the tech classes.

[[Ayumi]]

For some reason my game crashed due to some stupid problem when my file sharing was turned on for some reason.
I restarted the computer and the tweaker was gone.
I redownloaded it, and told the game to run again... and tweaker disappeared again.

Force/Techer or Force/Braver (with Weak Stance).

The easiest one would be a Force/Tech build. Focusing purely on Ice wouldn't be super good in the long run, but balancing out both Ice and Fire in the Force skill tree is possible.

Made a FO/TE skill tree (http://arks-layer.com/skillsim/old/10/skillcalc.html?10uAbxIobxIobxIobxIobxIobxIobxIobxI ojdS8dodBIb000000000doIn0000000jdoib0000000fdo0000 000dBbniN2SGBIklkGAbKIo00000ioInfcKInGAGAkfkIXGNcA 000000IbIo0000000jdoIb0000000j) for you, though keep in mind that this one is to my own liking and might differ from others.
5 of the remaining points on the Force skill tree should be used for the Rod Shoot skill.

Also, make sure you look into Technique Crafts. You can order high-leveled crafts from other players through the Visiphone. I would suggest you craft all of your techniques, since crafting them benefits you a lot (though getting a nice craft might cost a little extra Meseta).

Ice is nice for boss eq's and such with illbarta, but fire is very strong elsewhere, even beating out and rivaling many other elemental weaknesses do to its strong and versatile move pool. So if you're doing a fo just for tacos, no reason not to go fire. And as far as force goes, it probably is just best to pick one. Make sure to get PP charge revival, elemental conversion (50/60 percent element is very important), and if you go fire, definitely get fire charge time skill. From there, Tatk up high and the % boosting stuff aside from normal tech advance will do you well. Talis Tech bonus is very powerful if you're using those, but if you don't then you may not want to bother.

For your sub, you'll probably want to do techer for general use nowadays. A lot of people will build this so that it has maxed light and dark elements for folmelgion and barantsion, but if you want to sacrifice one really bad for points elsewhere, then it should probably be dark. Elemental Weak Hit and PP convert are big skills to pick up as well as Shifta Advance. Super treatment and territory burst are also very nice.

That's just some thoughts on it off the top of my head.

Edit: And here's a skill tree. The force one is a bit more focused than Meji's and the techer side gives a show of how you can max both elements there effectively.

1. Rappy Medals are primarily used for esScratch. However, you can also use them to revive in battle, recharge Drive, or expand your Chip Storage (the latter is highly recommended). It's 3 Medals for one scratch, or 30 Medals for 10+1 (the 11th is a freebie).
2. There are some limited-time chips that are only in the scratch pool for a short period of time; for example, the iOS 1st Anniversary is coming up, which includes a special Chip that will only be available for 48 hours starting from release. As for "discounts", there are occasional "1/2 off" periods where AC Scratch for es (same as esScratch, but adds an exclusive Chip and may have an alternate pool) is at a discounted price, if you want to buy AC for scratch.
3. FUN Scratch is useless unless you are in desperate need of materials that aren't available in that day's Daily Quest. 95% of its contents are pure junk.
4. The "free stuff button", AKA Quick Search, is available to any character from the get-go. However, keep in mind that uses are Ship-based; this means you can't swap characters and do it multiple times for free in the same period.

PS: As mentioned earlier, pay attention to esScratch news. The PSO2es thread will usually have info on it, and chips cycle out weekly. You want to know what to pull for and what to stay on, since Medals are a semi-precious resource.

Hey, I tried to to launch vanilla laucnehr to try and see if I can activate Tier 6 graphx, but... It says something tabout Pso2updater.exe cannot be updated or something. Then Pso2updater.exe gots corrupted (its icon goes away) and that's it. I've tried to redownload exes via tweaker, but this didn't help at all.

try changing the properties like who has access and rights to it.
It happens to me every update.
Sometimes I even have to do that while the error message is up for it to work.

[[Ayumi]]

Is there a reason why on two different computers and two different installations I'm getting this error?
http://pastebin.com/mdnnSXsS
I just want to patch the game and I can't for the last 2 hours that I've been trying.
I've tried restarting and I've tried using even the official launcher. It's not working.

[Saffran]

Zerotaker, I don't think the tweaker update would change anything.

Edit: It is dawning on me that you are indeed using the english patch so feel free to ignore the following.
I'm just saying, when those corruptions occur, that's what I have to do to fix it and be able to play again.

Updating those file resets the access rights to the user called "System".
When you upgrade and the launcher says "updated to the latest version. And then Restart" do NOT click on OK.
Right-click on the corrupt file (update.exe or downlaod exe, predownlaod exe, pso2exe, whatever it is).
You have to go to properties, then Security (where you can see that only "system" has access to the file), then advanced, then click on "activate heritage" (I dunno the english term but it means apply the settings of higher folders and files to this one) then apply, then OK and OK. You may even have to exit the folder and come back to it.
Now the icon should be the correct one.
Use the launcher again and it will go to the next step.

Today I had to do this for updater.exe, and then for downlaod exe and predownlaod exe, and now it's actually applying the update.
I am expecting to have to do this on PSO2.exe once it's done.

[Saffran]

Ah, maintenance is still going on, even if we can update. The new opening is ok though.

[ArcaneTechs]

has the schedule for the week been posted by sega yet or is this something we have to wait until maint is done for?

The launcher links to last week's boosts so chances are, they are still updating that page.
