OK, well let's say that we're talking about at the present time, one where I would just put my Schvelle units back into storage, am I missing out on something that's not obvious? Also, at the present time, does 69 points of defense amount to anything significant?

You'll be missing out on unit SSA's... that's it. The 69 defense, assuming it's the total for all 3 units, is insignificant in the grand scheme of things as well.

In short, until I get decent SSA unit drops, it's not worth it then. Thanks.

can anyone tell me what this error is? https://i.gyazo.com/bcf4a1b73ef784d79eb77a59b06ef34b.png

I've got a new PC and I'm trying to get pso2 set up on in properly but I've never seen this error before.

Well it says (according to my Google Translation app) that the game was forcibly closed because of another application running. Got any security software on that computer besides Windows Defender?

No I don't. Possible it's a game guard error maybe? I got the error when opening up streamlabs chat bot when pso2 was already opened.

Disable every software on Windows boot-up, reboot and try again. This is basic troubleshooting 101 right now.

Have you enabled Windowed-mode Fullscreen instead of actual Fullscreen (I forget what the option is). If you use traditional Fullscreen mode, then anything that tries to minimize the game, including alt-tab, will crash the game.

I just got a PS4 Controller and hooking it up with PSO2 works right out of the box using Bluetooth.
I use R3 to activate subpallette and L3 to change to FPS, the thing I'm concerned about is the R3 on the controller, everytime I press it and try to move the joystick around, it prematurely casts the subpallette and can be frustrating sometimes.
Anyone with a PS4 controller has this issue?

I use DS4: https://github.com/Ryochan7/DS4Windows

Not only will the game think that it's an Xinput controller, removing issues with DS4, but I can also program macro key and keyboard shortcuts including using the touche pad which gives you 8 binding keys (4 slid motions and 4 presses).

I tried using DS4Windows but for some reason, PSO2 won't recognize it at all. Like I said before, the controller works fine out of the box, all I had to do was connect it to Bluetooth and I'm ready to game in PSO2.
What I was trying to ask is if people who play PSO2 with a PS4 controller has that L3/R3 problem where if you press it and move the joystick, it sometimes releases the L3/R3 trigger.

You might have leftovers from the original Jays2Kings version of DS4Windows. I know that the driver that version uses can interfere with the Ryochan7 fork. Make sure as well that Steam isn't interfering with input, especially if you're running PSO2/Tweaker through it.

I appreciate the reply but my question has been about the L3/R3 keys releasing the trigger when you move the joystick, not about DS4Windows or any PS4 wrappers because like I said before, the PS4 controller works right out of the box with PSO2 now (most likely thanks to the PS4 port). I'll try to reiterate my question from before.

I did a couple of searches and it looks like plenty of people has the same issue in games that binds the run/sprint key on either L3/R3 (Fortnite, CoD, Destiny 2) where they would keep toggling sprint to walk.

For PSO2, I have the L3 button configured to change to TPS + walk and the R3 button to activate subpallette + look around. Going to TPS mode (by pressing L3) and activating the subpallette (by pressing R3) requires me to move the R3 joystick to aim, this is where the issue comes into play which I explained just before. The activated subpallette sometimes gets released prematurely because of the L3/R3 issue on the DS4 controller. I did not notice this issue from three previous controllers I've had and I was wondering if PSO2 players here that uses PS4 controllers have the same issue I'm having. Or just have the same issue with L3/R3 triggers.

I play PH rod and I have techniques on my subpallette so this issue is kind of a big deal for me ^^;.

Came back after a long break for the Etoile campaign. Got myself a 15* Atlas EX Katana and a 15* Lightstream Rod, but I was wondering if the 15* Aplos Orb Rifle is decent for Phantom? I honestly haven't had much experience with Rifle for Phantoms (Pretty much the only class I would use a Rifle on,) but want to replace my 14* Phobos one for a 15*.I haven't used all of them, but the orb weapons' potential seem good for any class that doesn't rely on natural passive pp regen. So basically, it's pointless for Fo, but you got a LS rod anyway. The rifle seems like it would be good in general, but I haven't been playing actively enough to get any orb weapons besides the tact. It's certainly better than phobos.

I don't know if they still, but most of those OT weapons (except Floating Edge) could still drop in the Season 1 Story Quests in PSO2es even after the NT versions were released.

You can only gift meseta and items that you can put in your MyShop, and Treasure Store gift boxes can be placed and opened at any time of the year, they are just only available to purchase around this time of year; the FUN shop also has a basic cardboard box that serves the same function and is available to purchase year-round.

what does "Wand Special Ability Plus" do? Im confused.
it states that "While using wand, change highest stat of striking and technique special abilities on the weapon"
what are does special abilities?

From what I understand, it uses whatever your highest stat affix (aka special ability) is on your Wand (S- or T-ATK) to scale the damage; basically an auto Switch Strike skill. Though, I am not currently 100% sure of this.

What class are you using? Etoile will automatically make all non-Mate/Atomizer healing 1HP if you took even a single point into Damage Balancer. If you aren't using Et main or sub, then I'm not sure what is wrong; I had no issues with my Elder Pain Omega or my S4: Vampiric Strike weapons when I played earlier.

this old psublog post helped with 13* grinding by telling you how much fodder you would have to gather to quickly hit +35 http://www.bumped.org/psublog/pso2-grinding-13-star-weapons/#details-0-0

i was wondering if there is something similar somewhere for 14* and 15* grinding? or if anyone allready knows and could tell me how much fodder is needed to quickly hit cap with 14 and 15 weapons
The easiest way to grind them up is to use +30 13*s from the seasonal Collect File or from Leotina; if you just use those, you need 4 total (one for 0 to 10, one for 10 to 20, one for 20 to 30, and one for 30 to 35) and (I believe) 400,000 meseta (not counting Potential unlocking meseta cost).

So what's the best way to get Ultimate booster?

I know that Solo flower under 12 minute can do it, but no luck there yet(13~15 min on ET and PH)
And you can trade in photon booster for it, but I'm not sure how to get more photon booster.

Photon Boosters now drop in AQs, and with enough RDR you can probably get 1 or 2 Ultimate Boosters worth of them even without a PSE Burst.

Sizustar

Any AQ or is there a recomended AQ?

Dark Mits

Dec 24, 2019, 03:53 AM

I'd suggest Naberius Forest. Enemies seem to be the "fastest" to die as lvl80 variants, which means that PSE Bursts have potential to last longer (or the entire run to take less time).

Map complexity is random. Last week I got a straight line with just one sideroom. A previous week I had a maze that was worse than Sanctum Free Field.

Kondibon

Dec 24, 2019, 05:01 AM

The other reason forest is good is because rappies can double drop caps and photon boosters.

Maris is using Anime Style C large (アニメ風瞳Ｃ　大) for the Eyes and Flashy Lashes Black (派手くっきりまつげ　黒). Flashy lashes are a Fun scratch item, so your mileage may vary depending on the ship you're on, but good luck with Anime style C, as that was from a scratch 4 years ago and has never been revived once.

You'll need to consider the following: Are you able to generate roughly 800k damage in 4 seconds with ET wand? Note that it also has a cooldown time of 10 seconds as well. If you can generate the damage, and doing an extra 250k of unreduceable damage every 14+ seconds sounds appealing to you, go for it. If you can't you're better served with other S4s.

Fundamental misunderstanding of what Raising Pursuit does. It's banish arrow except with recast and upper cap. Effectively during a 14 second rotation it takes 30% of the first 4 second giving you 1.2 second of gratis damage. Cap only exists to reduce its effectiveness on burst damage so you don't see an additional million damage pop up after chain or the like. Generally you're only not supposed to waste the 4 seconds on low DPS (relatively to your high DPS no matter whether it's 800k per 4 seconds or 400k) phases but otherwise it's as effective or more versus enemies with low hit zones compared to enemies like Elder.

Of course since I can't test it myself because it's extremely expensive I might be wrong.

Testing it on two wand with similiar stat and only S4 different, using the same PA on rockbear, in the 10 second with my playstyle, only about 500k difference in damage...
but not sure what other S4 is really useful for Wand ET, since Wand et don't really use normal attack often.

I'm just being very simple with my description on purpose - as was mentioned, it takes 30% of the damage you cause after you trigger its startup with a connected PA for the next 4 seconds that follows it (if you whiff, it won't start), and then the next PA you use after the build up time will apply bonus damage as soon as the next PA connects (note that if you whiff your PA, that additional damage is remains until your PA connects).

Basically if your DPS is low to begin with, depending on the weapon the player uses, they may be much better served with other S4 options. Also 14 second rotation is the absolute best case scenario, once your 4 seconds of buildup time are up, the additional damage you'll do with your next hit can be held indefinitely until you hit something in the "discharge" phase.

I find that for an ET wand, if your main mode of attack is PA only, PP efficiency (Radiant Response) really is a great choice all around, or even the new S4:強闘輝与 (Powering Brilliance? I don't use the t/l patch) that allows you to regenerate 40PP in 10 seconds when fighting a boss-type monster. I'd imagine S4:瞬護輝与 (Marvelous Aegis) would work as well since ET is literally just guards, but I haven't tested that for myself.

.
It's not really about low DPS. Low DPS players still get part of their DPS back with banish shot. They actually have more wiggle room because if we assume someone does merely 25k DPS average but can do 100k in burst he gets to save 1.2 second of 100k DPS in the banish finish. A person who does 250k DPS and up to 1m/s in burst can still only save at best about 210k DPS in the S4 because it's capped, with the biggest cap being that it can only at best be 18k additional DPS per second under perfect conditions.

If you change the color of several outer wears and several color changeable costumes in a single salon session, can you do it all with a single color change pass?
E.g. I wanna change the color of 3 outer wears and 3 costumes, if I do it all at once and only leave the salon when I changed all colors, does change everything with only a single color change pass?

And what about Cast colors, can they also be changed at the same time?

No, only one color change per pass.
If you change multiple Outer/Costume colors, only the last one changed will have the new color, and the rest will stay as they were before.
If you first change your CAST colors then the Outer color, and exit, only the Outer will have a different color, and vice-versa.

I've been wondering, and maybe someone who has a Liberate weapon already can give me some insight...
I'm using a Lightstream Rod on my Phantom with +215 T-ATK for the Tech Boost S1. Is it worth it to replace my Lightstream with a Liberate?
I'm still debating what to spend my Novel tickets on...

Yes and no. Damage wise it will be stronger, and even more so if you use mysterious + GS S5 + wise skill unit ssa. You will lose the every so often 2nd PP bar though. The Rod S5 does work for phantom as well... the atk speed increase.

However, there are significantly better Liberate weapons like DB, katana, sword, wand, bow, JB, knux, and partisan. (DB, kat, wand all work with their successor classes too.)

And if anyone is interested in more detail about each S5, https://ranger0.com/20191221/11725.html#toc_id_13 .

Yeah and I really like the Lightstream Rod for it's PP efficiency especially combined with Cursed Radiance... I guess I will stick to that if there's better choices for Liberate anyway.
I would imagine Dual Blades for Etoile would be a good choice if I don't have any special Dual Blades that have a great effect for Etoile?

But you cannot change more than one costume and / or outer at the same time?

Euh, did Persona stop dropping Dark Falz affixes? If not, then why are 8 slot Apprentice weapon affixes over 4m on the player shop?
Doubt there was a change in drops but as you can see Persona eq is becoming much rarer and undoubtedly by now much fewer people do it as often as before so high slot fodders become rarer and thus more expensive.

Why is upgrading in Neo PS games unnecessarily complicated even with the "single player" games?You need to clarify your question. Do you mean "Why are equipment upgrade systems so complicated in new Phantasy Star games?" ? If that is your question, the most probable answer is:
(i) Developers wanted to implement something unique, as in not something copied from other games
(ii) They wanted equipment upgrades to be a significant material sink, to give incentive to continue running content
(iii) They have added new systems that unfortunately did not entirely replace the older ones but instead work in tandem to them; effectively requiring that players learn all upgrade systems if they want to play at cutting edge performance.

You should have read: your question doesn't make sense.
The playstyle of both classes is way too different to compare.

If you're master of step-counter and dodging, Hero is really great. If you're only an average player, Etoile is stronger because your damage output doesn't suffer as much from a lack of reflex.
The classes play quite differently too because Etoile is not as mobile as Hero and, of course, weapon selection is very different.

So it's up to you, really. We can't recommend you a better class than the other. Test both, make your choice.

The current version now has the enemies cap at lv75 on Normal, and while everything melts if you decided to play it after hitting 90/90, if you get around to it while you are still leveling, it will feel like the correct difficulty for a story mission (ie. one that is meant for the sake of lore, not for a challenge).

All of the original Ep1-3 story was reformatted into a more streamlined version that matched what they had done with Ep4 and 5 at the time; this resulted in many of the missions being trimmed down to various degrees or excised completely, and having things like enemy level adjusted, though some are mostly unchanged, particularly if they were ones that had checkpoints in them.

Found out with help from friend:

* For the limited time quest, "Ultra Hard", the difficulty level for the quest "Ultimate gods burying the heavens and earth" must be at least class level 85 for both the main class and the subclass. (In the case of a successor class, an order can be accepted if the main class level is 85 or higher.)
* In order to receive the limited-time quest "The goddess of evil burying the heavens and earth", you must have cleared the free field "Forest search". In addition, there is no designation for the difficulty level and the rank when clearing the free field "Forest search". (This quest is released for each character.)
* The following conditions must be met in order to receive the limited-time quest "The goddess of evil that will bury the heavens and earth".

You can select Easy or Normal for that Quest.
You can probably get a good idea about playstyles from the Class Threads for both of those classes in the Guides sub-forum.
Sub for Etoile? None, as it cannot use a subclass.
To use it as a sub? From what I can see, it is a good substitute for Hunter sub. I've personally only used it as Ra/Et, and I like how it works; I plan on also trying it out with my Bow Br.

What are the popular classes that uses ET as a sub? Is ET perfectly fine just using it by itself since no sub for successor? or do you get more out of it if you use it as a secondary to a Normal Primary? I noticed with Phantom alot of players using BR/PH instead of just straight up PH.

I noticed with Phantom alot of players using BR/PH instead of just straight up PH.The use of a main class is mostly due to the weapons available and the playstyle of the class. For example if you want to play Bullet Bow you have to be BR/x (unless some new meta has emerged now that -NT extending is a thing). Similarily if you like acting like a turret that fires magic spells, FO/x is probably the "go to" option.

ET is fine by itself. Using ET as a subclass is mostly effective on x/HU builds which had HU as sub for the added survivability (for example RA/HU -> RA/ET). Though any build can work, some builds have greater synergy and potential than others. A more experienced player should be able to point to those builds.

I noticed with Phantom alot of players using BR/PH instead of just straight up PH.Ra, Hu, Fi, and maybe Su are the classes that go well with sub Et. Br might also work well, but I haven't tried it so I'm not sure. Successor classes were specifically designed to not have subclasses, so they're fine without them. Usually when you choose a subclass it's for the utility. Playing Ph isn't the same as playing Br/Ph. People play Br/Ph because they like Br and Ph is a good subclass for it, not because Ph is better as a subclass than a main class. If you were to compare Br/Ph to anything it would be other Br/X combinations usually.

Have you tried for yourself?
FO/PH is one of the better combinations. It has strengths and weaknesses over other FO variations but it's far from bad. Adopting it or not depends on your playstyle really. You essentially increase your DPS by casting techs way way way faster than normal. Also Sprint Tech Charge is a wonderful little skill.

PH is currently the best subclass of TE as TE benefits really well from casting techs faster while moving faster too (especially light and dark techs since the class has the masteries). TE and PH both have PP Restorate Skills which stack up too.
PH is a strong subclass for BO using Jet Boots since it enables fast casting of techs and has a gear accumulation skill which helps BO use both gears more often. PH is a stronger subclass for Jet Boots but it's also fine with Dual Blades thanks to the gear accumulation. Your extra blades really help your DPS.
ET is currently the best subclass of HU because damage balancer + flash guard x2 + automate halfline. Nothing can stop you, really.
ET is, IMO, tied for best subclass for FI because it has damage balancer which enables the player to use Limit Break without too many drawbacks and Etoile HP Restorate triggers during Limit Break so your HP essentially keep regenerating. Really strong combination.
ET is a great subclass of RA because of...Standing Massive. All your charged PAs requiring you don't move. Well, they can't be interrupted. And since you're also running Damage Balancer, you can take hits without worrying.

You should really try them out. You don't need that many skills to make those subs work.

This right here has spoiled me as a Fo/Ph; every time I try to go back and play Fo/Te, I just can't since it feels so slow and clunky. Sure the individual numbers aren't as high, but the ease of movement and reduced charge time make the combo feel so smooth.

Sounds probably good for Te, but for Fo, I don't know. Loosing Dark, Light & elemental weakness (not to mention the other Te perks) during EP6 where Light and Dark are of most usage doesn't seem to be a good idea.

*Hits with a stick*
Even with the decreased individual numbers, you gain a lot of DPS over time because you're casting so much faster.
When you one-shot everything, yeah. It's useless. In XH or UH, where it matters, you're not one-shotting anything so augmenting your DPS over time matters more than raw individual numbers of any single cast.
And your Resta numbers should really not matter in this equation.First because you should be able to almost insta-cast Resta with Tech Short Charge and second, your numbers should still be high enough.
As Techer/Phantom and without Resta Advance from the tree, I'm still healing over 1200HP per tick, this is waaaaaaaaay enough.

Well I'm going from what I'm seeing on the PSO2 Skill Simulator. Most of the skills are for main class only, I really don't understand how this could help my Fo for example.

A big thing is that the successor classes as sub don't have less utility because they have less skills on the tree, if anything it's actually the opposite
- Mutlipliers are all concentrated on a few skills, and are consequent enough to amount to the several skills you'd take on another sub to reach similar mults
- they have less all-class skills, but they're all vastly impactful gameplay-wise, compared to a lot of skills in other trees that are either small incremental helps,situational or straight up useless for your sub of choice despite being usable by it.

The rest was said by Arada really. Also as a bonus, Fo/ET is actually an okay-ish combo as well, with multipliers that are slightly inferior but easier to prop than FO/FI, as well as great synergy utility (damage balancer is a great boon for any class, standing massive trades the PP efficiency of PP restorate for uninterrupted windows of damage, same arts PP bonus can actually allow sustained tech spam FO/TE style while tech arts lets you optimize your damage output while reducing PP cost with easier cycles than the ones TAJA demands)
all said and done, it still can suffer a bit in the PP department in some scenarios, but the mults are enough for strong compounds and proper management make Ice and Lightning very sustainable for mobbing. I think where the combo truly shines is in mobbing fests anyway, since while FO/TE is better damage on paper, having to constantly reposition to avoid getting swarmed is a big loss of DPS, while FO/ET can actually hold any position and just spam at will as long as you're not going full hothead mode.. The only real issue is you have to heal the ET way (with mates and atomizers) which is incredibly weird, but not that detrimental.

The new quest items are from some of the current quests, though. the Armada of Demise eq and Large Battleship Infiltration uq give silver / gold prize medals for some 15* weapons and a 13* rear and cobalt medals from the 6th Angel (NGE collab boss) eq / trigger (you get triggers for doing 1 eq at the moment).

I mean honestly you should have looked into the S5's on each Liberate series before going through with the affix to avoid something like this. I also wouldn't use Wand or DB's innate S5 over Lib GS's S5 either

Sounds probably good for Te, but for Fo, I don't know. Loosing Dark, Light & elemental weakness (not to mention the other Te perks) during EP6 where Light and Dark are of most usage doesn't seem to be a good idea.

I'm coming back to this because I got a bit more into force lately.

The light and dark masteries aren't a loss. Fo/Ph, and Fo/Et do better on damage with light and dark techs, on or off element, than Fo/Te. Fo/Te's biggest benefit is its superior pp management, but Fo/Ph, and Fo/Et have way better burst damage and compounds.

Clear Solo profound trigger at Ultra Hard under 12 minute
Or do Advanced Quest to earn photon booster and trade in 90 photon booster for one ultimate booster

While I think foph have the best regular tech casting of the 3 mostly because of short charge, it seems to me they also have the worst compounds because of lower multipliers. For light/dark and comps multipliers alone, Te subs should have 1.58 ish for non weakness, and 1.73 ish for weakness, along with 90+ base t-atk compared to phantom if you take the technique ups from the Te tree. Phantom sub on the other hand will have around 1.56 assuming you crit 100% of the time so their short charge is what makes them shine.

Foet is 1.67 ish always, which means the comparison of light and dark being better/worse depends on weakness. Compounds on the other hand seem close since weakhit only triggers for the specific element of that hit, so unless the enemy is weak against both elements, weakness will trigger for about half of the hits. Good multipliers but without pp management skill, the main appeal is damage balancer imo.

This is from tree alone though and no SSA, so phantom higher crit rate may close the gap for comps. There is also the fact that both foet and foph will have better fire elec and ice, so thats a plus for them too.

Good multipliers but without pp management skill, the main appeal is damage balancer imo. Damage balancer and standing massive. But yeah, I messed up on the multipliers for Te elements. Fo/Ph and Fo/Et definately have stronger Fo elements though.

Just do Su sub if you want big dick damage :wacko:
Fo/Su has almost the same multipliers as Fo/Et, with more set up, and less survivability/utility. There's not really a reason to use it anymore.

Possibly another stupid question - just coming back to playing after a long break.

I'm looking to get one of those 15* weapons you can trade in the weapon badges for. Will I need the "unlocker" item it looks like Xie sells in the limited time shop to grind it up to 30? Or should I focus on getting one (or multiples) of those before any weapons / armor from her since it looks like those go away come February?

Just trying to plan out the best way to use my somewhat limited time to get "good" (i.e. not the best or not ball-bustingly hard to obtain) gear for starting to try out stuff like the highest difficulty quests. Thanks.

Only the limited part of the shop goes away on february (the one with boosters, unlocker and cosmetics) the main shop will remainso don't worry about that.
You don't need the unlocker to grind the weapons from shop to +35, however you can use the unlocker amongst many other things (check the full requirement at Zieg's weapon exchange) to upgrade it into a much stronger weapon. In any case you can take your time and slowly get shop weapon to +35 since they actually aren't going anywhere, but be sure to prioritize exchanging all the limited goodies first (unlocker and ultimate boosters above all else)

Su sub is 1.76x. Et sub is 1.67x. Hence my big dmg comment.

Ok, thanks. I'll check and see how many I need for a weapon and a set of armor, then focus on getting those before it goes away if I can.
