You can also add "s##" to keep the face going for the amount of seconds you want.

For example, in order to get the right facial look and pose, the picture below was "/ci2 nw s60 /la pose16" and I rapid shot about 8 pictures to get the one I wanted.

If I crafted a Nasuyoteri for RA/BR what would I need to do to to make the negative damage effect not as bad? (DEX wise)

In general, your DEX should be in the 600s to help negate the variance.

Any affix wise would be preferred for it?

I was originally just going to Mizer,Shoot III, Spirita III but figured since boost is still around try something a lil different

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

Atk/PP isnt worth giving up for dex. I can't find the thread or source of exact dex required to negate damage variance on a max crafted bow, but saiki set bonus, and some st. fever here and there should be enough.

Should I keep or sale the Steel Hearts and Rengokuto Ensa that I got from my Vita PSO2 EP3 game? Sure they look nice, can be used by all classes with 1 DEX and give 10% more EXP, but besides that, what else do they do?

[Xaeris]

You can turn them into weapon camos via Zieg. If that doesn't interest you, then yeah, sell them.

why does almost every bow br build use weak stance and not average stance ?
are they using TPS mode all the time to aim weak spot ? how do you break boss part with it when soloing ?

I didn't have a sword at all for my Nagisa so I crafted it to max and it was 1200+ satk x.x Pretty much a lobby weapon for me, but definitely useable. I wanted to use my camo slot for katanas, but still have her sword without switching camos all the time.

[Nyansan]

Bow Br is usually ran with Ra sub and with Ra tree's extensive weakpoint damage bonuses, adding weak stance on top of that makes you hit like a truck. Plus, as bow user (or any range character) you really are expected to play in TPS mode and aim for headshots.

For soloing, its mostly hit and run i.e break parts to stun bosses (QD and Vol come to mind) then unload FInal Nemesis/Sat Cannon on their weakspot while they're down. Repeat til boss is dead.

On an unrelated note, are you the same Cimohai from SEA ship 1?

[emeraude]

I have a few questions:
2. What is the general consensus for affixes on weapons? I know that +60[]ATK is preferred, but unsure what is an alright amount for a weapon.

4. How do you level up your subclasses that don't use your main class mag? I was thinking about getting a second character up, but worried about having to level up Hunter when that character will be RA main-class. (The reason being that I don't want to invest in feeding another mag on a character that I may not be using frequently. That takes awhile to get going. ;; )
2) 60 is minimum but 95 is nice
4) get all class rifles and launchers and pretend you're still ranger even if you're hunter :wacko:

[BlueCast Boy]

Can you JA JB PA Shift or is it that JA'd PA of it also stack and also elemental burst?

[somedude1435]

Do the bonuses from timed abilities on units stay after the main effect <area rare boost for example> has expired? i know <or at least think i have> seen people with expired timed abilities but the units still reflects a boost to liek hp form the sub effects and what not or at least had some bonus stats that wasnt on the affixes? lol im still new to crafting here so any help is appreciated!

[Perfect Chaos]

After it expires, all effects and bonuses are gone. The stat boosts are listed in the lobby and everywhere else (for some reason, despite it only applying in certain areas) only when it's still in effect. You must be mistaken if you saw any showing the stat boosts after expiring.

I have a question. Does the shift action for Jet Boots add to the count or break the count for the potential Shadow Formation?

oh so its basically using multiplier of multiplier of Ra weak hit bonus.

to be honest playing with TPS mode make me dizzy, although sometimes i used it when playing with my FO/TE for rafoie sniping

i guess i ll try weak stance with TPS mode for my 2nd char when i am bored and see if it suits me.

yeah i am the same person

Anyone record video of the new AIS Magatsu EQ?

[loool]

I got a Skill Tree Reset Pass. What did SEGA change now?

[Kondibon]

I got a Skill Tree Reset Pass. What did SEGA change now?People had niche builds specifically for fighting Magatsu, since magatsu got reballanced and the damage copying PAs got nerfed, they gave out the passes for that as opposed to a direct change to the skill trees.

[Anduril]

I got a Skill Tree Reset Pass. What did SEGA change now?
It was for the Magatsu change. Since many people changed their builds to take advantage of how Magatsu worked, they decided to give a Reset Pass since the previous tactics aren't necessarily as viable anymore.

What's the pot on new 12* katana? I used google translate and have no ideal what it's talking about "一定間隔でダメージを負う代わりに与ダメージとPP回復速度が上昇"

It's the emo katana, increases pp recovery and attack at the cost of % of your health per 20 seconds.

My question is: How do you add the calculations to ultimate buster?
Like for example, suppose I have a tech of 1066 on a weapon. Does the 10% make it 1172 or after all applications of it is done like character tech abilities, multipliers, etc?

[LonelyGaruga]

Now can anyone confirm if they drop in SH?

Any difficulty. There are two different stones, by the way, and you need 100 of both.

It's a multiplier at the end, but the modifier of your attacks are also multipliers at the end. 1066 power is equivalent to a multiplier of 10.66x. So in a sense, it works both ways you described.

[Scale of Judgment]

Any difficulty. There are two different stones, by the way, and you need 100 of both
Also note that the store's weapons are only 10 Dark so you would need 500 of each stones for full 50 dark. (Or pay market price auction for the 2 5% element additive and need only 400 stones of each)

Of course, the weapons itself drops.

IIRC ult buster bonus added later to damage.
So it'll be like <your damage input with all pot&affix except ult. buster> + 10% = <total damage to ultimate enemies>


So how many of these boost weeks do we get per year?
Depends on how does SEGA feel, 2 or 3 boost week.
Major one usually only once a year.

[emeraude]

If you craft it up to Silva tier it's around 80% damage variance iirc compared to a non-crafted's 90%. You need around ~575 dex to match the damage. Source (http://www.reddit.com/r/PSO2/comments/2j5g0m/dexapt%E6%8A%80%E9%87%8F_crit_and_crafting_explain ed/).

Can anyone explain the new weapons' potential? From my understanding, it drains 5% of your HP every 20 seconds for a boost to damage and PP regen... is that correct? and is it constant, or something you have to activate?

It's automatically active whenever you hold the weapon, so when you change to the other weapon (that has different potential) it'll automatically deactivated.

If I want to level through AQs from lv 50-60ish am I better off going VH or SH? (1 capsule vs 10 capsule?) or would running SH get me 10 capsules netting me "infinite" runs?

[Skyly]

If I want to level through AQs from lv 50-60ish am I better off going VH or SH? (1 capsule vs 10 capsule?) or would running SH get me 10 capsules netting me "infinite" runs?

Do VH. The difference in cap cost alone makes it more worth it. I'd recommend F.Conts VHAQ

[Xaeris]

VH is better if you're running solo. In order for SH to be anywhere near self-sustaining solo, you have to clear out both blocks for capsule drops (and still might not even get 10). In VH, once you run up a decent risk, you can just rush the boss; boosted and rare bosses give pretty nice exp and you'll see them reasonably often at high risk.

Kind of dumb question, can enemies inflict critical hits? I've switched 2/3 of my units for the 2 Saiki piece that I own. Saiki set is technically better protection than my old Midia set, but during a TD quest, I got killed by an exploding Goldrahda, something I've normally been able to survive in the past. So either I've been lucky so far by never getting crit by of of these exploding roaches, of the Saiki parts aren't better than my old unit.

I believe that DEX calculations work the same way both giving and taking damage, so yes, even enemies have variance based on your and their DEX meaning they can "crit" (hit their maximum damage).

Enemey damage can crit, yes. It's likely that was just a +40/60% attack buff wave though.

Is OTP usable outside Japan and if so, is it easy to set up?

[Magicks]

cool. do you know if it's possible to buy iac with an american credit card, or if that's an android only perk?

I believe it's an Android only perk. The reason why you wouldn't be able to buy iAC through iPhone is because you require a JPN iTunes account to get the PSO2es in the first place. The app would be bounded to your JPN iTunes account, and you aren't able to attach a non-JPN credit card to the JPN account. (At least to my knowledge; if someone has a work around, tell me too. ; ) )

EDIT:

It's usable; I'm not sure the set-up process though, since I don't use it myself. I believe there's a guide on Bumped.org (http://www.bumped.org/psublog/otp-one-time-password-registration-guide-for-pso2/) on how to do it.

Also, those 13* weapons that have potentials that are strong against bosses, what's the limit of the term "boss"

-Is it only bosses at the end of a free field or do mid-boss counts?
-What about bosses and mid-boss encountered during normal game play or triggered by Nyau?
-Do enemies like Cougar NX count as a boss or mid-boss?

[Magicks]

One of my friends who got his 13*s tested it out;


Any type of boss, no matter the context; whether it's from the end of free field, or random spawn. Should work
Works on sub-bosses as Rockbear from what I've heard as well.


So it should work on Cougar, Knight Gear, and Kazuchi.

Hi, how do I make my quotes like "thank you" when I get revived in the MPA and not just in the actual party that i'm in?

I currently have a "thank you" type quote but when someone revives me my character only displays it in the party not the actual MPA.

[Perfect Chaos]

Add "/a" (without the quotation marks) at the beginning, separated by a space from the rest of the message. That'll make it send to everyone.
EDIT: "/t" and "/p" does the same thing for team and party chat, respectively, FYI.

That means Shared Ship is full. Notice if when you got the error 630, you get sent back to Ship Select, not the usual Title Screen. That means it's full (and if you're premium, that means all premium spots are full too)

Edit: Also is there a text command to swap camo's? i swear i saw it somewhere

[Sizustar]

But that doesnt seen right to me, I know its more about the bonus content that came with it, but if is just about the physical card, id rather buy an old ep1 them XP

They announced what the cartridge would be, and as the game is free to download, what version is in the cartridge doesn't matter.
Everyone is just paying for the bonus item.

[Achelousaurus]

is there a Black Nyack guide?
I had some pretty ridiculous things happen to me and I don't know if those were because of rules or bugs.

A couple of times I selected hit and he didn't give me a card.
Other times he gave me not 1, but 2-3 regular cards (plus special cards ontop).
This only happened to me with a full table though, never when I was playing 1on1 with Nyauu.

i heard that foie can be crafted to decrease pp to 0, how to do that ?

[Anduril]

i heard that foie can be crafted to decrease pp to 0, how to do that ?
Lowest PP cost of Foie is 8 from the best result of Efficient Foie Lv.3, but combine that low cost with PP Restorate and Charge PP Revival and you can almost completely recover the PP between charged casts (throw in a Splendid Recovery potential to make your PP recovery even faster or a Light Formation potential to reduce PP cost further). But then you have the question of whether losing the power and distance from a Blazing Foie craft is worth it.

[Magicks]

Is this one (http://pso2.swiki.jp/index.php?%E7%A6%8D%E9%8A%83%E3%83%AA%E3%83%AB%E3% 83%A6%E3%83%97%E3%82%B1) even worth striving for?

I'm not particularly sure. For starters, the potential doesn't make any sense at all for Gunners in the first place.


Pretty much guarantees that after a certain amount of time, your health is going to be below 75%, cutting off Perfect Keeper damage.
Unsure if drain from your weapon is also labeled as taking damage... If it is, no resets on Showtime, damage modifier also going down.


IMO, if the above are true, then the potential doesn't give enough to compensate the loss of damage ratios you're losing out on. If point 3 is false, then I'd imagine that it would only be useful if you're constantly switching between Guld Mila and the 12* guns. If that happens, it's essentially the question of if you want to put that much effort in it for a 15% damage boost and 10% PP Recovery rate, which is almost un-conditional. (Aka not limited to a specific PA, have to be close, etc.)

It's a shame too, because the TMGs look great IMO. ;;

Clear Koffie's Exploration Request for Caves, then the first Desert ARKS Quest will unlock (basically, just make sure you do all of Koffie's COs to unlock areas). For Jet Boots, you just need to make sure you for sure for sure have JB Gear, Rapid Boost, Rapid Boost JA Bonus, and Elemental Stance (with Elemental Stance Up), from there it will depend on what style you want to play. The default PB for a T-Mag is one of the best since it recovers PP and a bit of HP.

[GHNeko]

When it comes to weapon potentials, if you have a dual pot weapon with potential level 3 and you want to switch to a 2nd potential does it reset the potential level or will the 2nd potential be level 3?

reset to 1

what about tech boost? is it enough to help equip new weapons faster?

[Anduril]

what about tech boost? is it enough to help equip new weapons faster?
If you mean Technique Up 1, then the amount of T-ATK it gives isn't worth putting any points into (only 50 T-ATK for 10SP; the only one of the Stat Up skills that is worth it is Fo's Tech High Up since it gives 120 T-ATK for only 5SP); focus on your Mag for T-ATK equipment requirements.


EDIT:
Anyway, question of my own. Wide Rafoie: is the effect just in terms of how far the initial explosion is from caster or it is the radius of the explosion itself?

[GHNeko]

IIRC it's Radius, but someone else respond too since I'm 100% sure.

[Z-0]

Size of the explosion, because Rafoie already has infinite range.

[EspeonageTieler]

Is Ranger kinda boring in this version? While I'm downloading the English installer (Taking forever) I'm watching videos on all the classes and Hunter and Force seem to have a lot more going on since PSO while the Ranger appears to be stuck with just Rifles and Launchers doing basic attacks most of the time, not much different than PSO except with less weapon choices. Am I just watching the wrong videos?

RAmar was what I played in PSO but everything else just looks so much more advanced and varied

Probably Force for T-ATK (maybe Techer in some cases)... or Hunter if you want to go for S-ATK

No for both. All leveling them up does is improve hate generation, plus duration for War Cry and gear gain for Showtime. Neither of those are really worth the extra 7 or 8 SP. Skills from Showtime's branch don't benefit from high-leveled Showtime, and War Brave's effect always lasts 30 seconds, regardless of how short your War Cry is.

All you need those skills for is to draw some attention to yourself upon activation, which is achievable even at the minimum levels.

Hunter's life is a bit more exciting than Ranger's, but Rangers have just about as much going on for them as Force. Ranger's playstyle might look a little boring, with how one of their important damage multiplier skills is Standing Snipe, but that's still hardly different from spamming rifle, shot or launcher while standing still in PSO. Plus, there are a lot of things to keep in mind when playing Ranger, such as Weak Hit Advance, Weak Bullet, Jellen Shot if you use it, PP management, traps, and various PAs that all come in handy in different situations and depending on what subclasses you run.

Also, keep in mind that there are way more than just three classes in PSO2. If you want a ranged class that has as much fun as Hunter, try Gunner.

[LeftyTwoGuns]

How old are the videos that you're watching?

Most of them seem to be from 2013. Aside from basic attacks Rangers seem to use the grenade launcher skill and the bullet skill. Every other class has some crazy shit going on

Admittedly, the Ra vid is pretty boring.

Those videos were the entire reason I chose to play hunter at the start.

There's much more interesting stuff to do for RA now between a useful grenade, satllite cannon, impact slider, flamethrower launcher, and the option to just about instantly kill SH-level bosses with a multiclass bullet bow.

[Cloche]

Is Falz the only known way to get Orochi Agito right now? I've been seeing way more people with it than before and I'm wondering where they're all getting it. Does Magatsu drop it too?

Still Dark Falz Elder ONRY. XH drop rates may be better than SH.

[Cloche]

Is it really that common now? Way too many people have it and I haven't been able to get one all this time even with 250% rare drop boosts and 100% triboosts.

On a side note, I recently got a Blitz Fender, and I'm pretty sure it dropped from the Magatsu EQ (although not 100% since I remember doing one Falz EQ in the past week) even though it's listed as a Falz drop. Could that be possible or am I just not remembering well? This is also the reason I was asking if Orochi can drop from Magatsu.

[KazukiQZ]

^For general and consistent damage and better survival tool, Hunter sub. For highest damage reach with the right setup and conditions, Fighter sub.

[Z-0]

Fighter sub is dreadful, don't do that. You don't get Limit Break that way, therefore you don't get to use your slayers and the crazy skills as well, meaning you only really get the Stances and Criticals (+ PP Slayer).

Under the proper conditions, FiBo does 50% more DPS with Hyakka than BoHu with Ares/Ideal with PBF Tech Cancel on bosses.

Use BO as sub, use Fi for max damage, or Hu for survivability

And you can go through this topic dedicated to Bouncer discussion

[Selphea]

13* are main class only. Might as well go BoHu TBH, Massive Hunter is nice although LB really shouldn't have been main only.

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

13* are main class only. Might as well go BoHu TBH, Massive Hunter is nice although LB really shouldn't have been main only.

Eh... limit break shouldn't have been alot of things, but making it not mainclass only would just make A: Fi the new Hu, and B: Br/Fi would be OP as all hell being able to go invincible for the duration of limit break

[Skyly]

In relevance to the subtopic on hand, how much more damage does FiBo do than BoHu while mobbing and bossing?

[Scale of Judgment]

In relevance to the subtopic on hand, how much more damage does FiBo do than BoHu while mobbing and bossing?

Potentially, a lot more. Fi boosts critical strikes and Bo boosts crafts and Critical strike field. You can easily reach 100% critical.

BoHu has more survivability and static damage.

Is there any advantage to having a second character?

I have my main character with two mags (S-ATK pure, T-ATK pure). I'm debating whether to create a new character that will be exclusively a R-ATK class, or if I should just buy my third mag and play RA on my main character.

Outside of not having to spend AC on buying another mag, is there any other benefit(s) to having a second character?

[SilenWhisper]

More money to get through COs which also requires more time to waste.Also,+1 costume/3 parts & a chance to try another build if you want.

[KazukiQZ]

^To add to that, alltree reset pass is distributed (sometimes) and it's per character. So, more character, more passes get.

EQ big bosses which are Dark Falz Elder, Dark Falz Loser and the new Magatsu 2nd Phase can only be done once per character. But, if you have multiple characters, all of them can do it too, giving you more chance for their drops.
As example, I have 3 characters. So, I can fight it 3 times. What I only need to do is just make each of them fight the first phase at least once to flag the character(s) ready for 2nd phase battle. Even just by doing N level for 1st phase, I can fight the 2nd phase boss at the highest difficulty I want (XH preferred)

[BIG OLAF]

I'm kinda confused. The EXcube I just got has a "Fi" in front of it. Is that some sort of special Fighter EXcube? What are those even for? I thought there was only one kind.

[KazukiQZ]

^That's for Fighter SkillPoint CO. Try talk to Ohza to see about it. It should be unlocked after you had reached Fighter level 65 and had cleared both the first two Skillpoint COs.

There will be 2 COs: 'The Perfect Fighter I' which need 3 FI Excubes, and then 'The Perfect Fighter II' which need 6 FI Excubes. Each CO give 1 Skillpoint only.

So yeah, each class has this special excubes and can be obtained after reaching level cap and then leveling the level cap. If you don't want any of those again, you can go recycle them into normal excubes at Recycle Shop.

But generally try to keep those because who knows, SEGA might add new Skillpoint COs n the future that need those again xD

Alternatively, exchange them for 2 Excubes.

Can you mail/transfer items between your characters? If so, do they have to be on the same ship to do so?

Here's a question I should have asked 8 months ago, is the daily boost per player, per block or per ship?

[Magicks]

Here's a question I should have asked 8 months ago, is the daily boost per player, per block or per ship?

We're talking about the Daily Boost from the Daily Orders right? Per character I believe. I just quickly checked myself, and my main has 18% daily boost, while my alt does not. (Just because I don't play with my alt at all, or do her daily orders. )

[LonelyGaruga]

Characters on a ship share storage, but not inventory or meseta. Gotta deposit that stuff into your storage to share it.

Dunno about different ships. I think you need to transfer the character, which costs AC.


Here's a question I should have asked 8 months ago, is the daily boost per player, per block or per ship?

Per character, actually. Gotta do the DOs on all your characters to maintain each one's boost.

[Anduril]

Is there any way to get automatic EQ notifications for any ship other than Ship 2?
There is a EQ bot (https://twitter.com/pso2_emg_hour) on Twitter that posts upcoming EQs every hour on the fourth minute; it's in Japanese, but put it through Google translate and you can tell what's what.

[Korazenn]

Can you mail/transfer items between your characters? If so, do they have to be on the same ship to do so?

Yup! You can place items in Storage which are then available for all characters on your account. Items you craft can also be transferred between characters through Storage as well.

Your Meseta is also shared between all of your characters, but you need to deposit the Meseta first. I'd also like to note that when it comes to upgrading how much Inventory Space your character has with AC, it is 'not' something that carries over to each character.

You can create up to three characters if you've never deleted a character on your account or had another character on a different ship, if I recall correctly. If you already deleted a character, that number goes down to two permanently unless you either a) create a secondary account, which is also an option to creating more than the 2-3 Character Slots alotted normally, or b) use AC to purchase an extra character slot.

^ The latter method you have to be careful with. I've heard stories from people that, if they weren't happy with their character and deleted the one they bought a slot for with AC, they weren't able to get that slot back unless they paid more AC to purchase another one. I can't say for sure if this is the case for everyone or not (mostly because I don't know anyone personally who would do such a thing after spending money to make a character), but just be careful with that method.


I just realized I have a character still on Ship 10 from back when the Beta was available, so he has a LOT of items from the various events that have happened that I would love to transfer to my main character on Ship 2.

Yes, you can transfer your character over by going ahead and selecting the option from the "Additional Options" prompt at the character selection screen and selecting "Transfer to Another Ship" for said character on Ship 10 and doing so does require AC.


Is there any way to get automatic EQ notifications for any ship other than Ship 2?

Due to Ship 02 being 'the' non-JP ship, I'm afraid our translation team isn't offering the Chrome Extension for other ships.


Here's a question I should have asked 8 months ago, is the daily boost per player, per block or per ship?

The Daily Boost is awarded for completing Daily Orders with the icon on them.

I can also confirm it is per character and doesn't change with the block. If you log out of said character and into an alt, you shouldn't see the boost if you haven't done those DOs on that alt for the day.

More reason for you to keep farming those DOs for Meseta! :D


Dunno about different ships. I think you need to transfer the character, which costs AC.

Yup.

[Sp-24]

Okay, I see. So it's a two-time deal and that's it? I'd imagine so, because unlimited SP seems silly. :o
It's expected that more SP orders that require class Excubes will be added in the future, maybe along with some more uses for them as well. Right now, however, class Excubes are like Episode 1's Photon Drops - you either hoard them or trade them in.

No for both. All leveling them up does is improve hate generation, plus duration for War Cry and gear gain for Showtime. Neither of those are really worth the extra 7 or 8 SP.

Plus, there are a lot of things to keep in mind when playing Ranger, such as Weak Hit Advance, Weak Bullet, Jellen Shot if you use it, PP management, traps, and various PAs that all come in handy in different situations and depending on what subclasses you run.

Also, keep in mind that there are way more than just three classes in PSO2. If you want a ranged class that has as much fun as Hunter, try Gunner.

What does a rifle Gunner play like? The vids I watched of them seemed to use twin guns, which I wasn't a fan of in PSO

Almost done installing the game and I still haven't figured out what to play yet!

[Cyber Meteor]

Almost done installing the game and I still haven't figured out what to play yet!

I got 2800 hours of playing in this game and i still haven't figured out what to play yet :D ok, maybe exagerating, so i got 3 chars, 1 for each type of attack, Striking-Ranged-Tech. Well i've excluded Braver, Techter and Fighter for now though i'll have to level that last one. But in the end i cannot stick to one main class only.
Also, it's pretty hard to know what class to play without even trying them, i can understand you want to decide before starting (i did that too tbh), but here you got 2 char slots, what you have to watch for is the mag stats that cannot be redone or rectified, but if you mess up one, you got another try.
Honestly, Ranger and Force are the less nervous playable classes, Gunner is much more nervous, same for Fighter and Bouncer, Hunter is in between, i cannot say for Techter with Wand lover and Braver as i rarely play with those classes.

I see that the game keeps having a ad in the corner for a rifle wep camo, is that a prize for clearing challenge modes 10 quests or is that something completely different?

[K.O. Kazjivo]

Well, there is a title reward for a rifle camo 'Disrupt mission 10'

[Xaeris]

The rifle that's featured in the loading screen ads isn't the Yasminkov 5000 camo (i.e, the M10 reward) or even any kind of camo at all, but a promotional item you get by entering an item code. You're very unlikely to be able to obtain this item code if you don't live in Japan, so buying one off the visiphone is your only real recourse.

If you're curious, you get the item code by buying Intel parts from participating retailers in Japan.

How often do Boost Weeks come around and do we know when the next one will be?

[Sizustar]

How often do Boost Weeks come around and do we know when the next one will be?

Probabely the next Annivesary event.

[Rakurai]

They tend to have lesser boost weeks a few times a year, as well.

Usually in celebration of some random milestone like game downloads or user count.

Hey guys, newb question.... I saw people saying that the beset way to farm spell fragments is to run Extreme Quests floors 1-70. Since every 5 stages consumes needs extreme pass, does that mean that we need 12 passes in total to complete it? Thanks

[Xaeris]

14.

oh right.. my bad, math is failing me lol.. Thanks

don't forget to grab khoto and alice co they also give you Extreme passe

Am I supposed to launch the game through the real client or through the Tweaker?

When I launch through Tweaker, it pulls up some website about GameGuard or something like that and launching through the real client has it re-checking all my files for updates (which I did through Tweaker)

Either works, but if Gameguard is having problem, there is an option to "fix" error with Gameguard in the tweaker, use it.

[trevorwhatever]

Hello, I just came back to this game to play with some friends expect this time around Im having 2 fairly big issues, one is sound being extremely jagged and the second issue which is MUCH MUCH more game breakng for me, whenever I do quests in parties with other people I get lag that literally puts my 5 to 10 minutes behind my party, they will have already downed the boss and here I am not even at it yet. I dont understand what could be causing this second issue. Im playing with my brother most of the time and we have the exact same computer expect I have a newer hard drive and we are also using the same internet. anyone have any idea what I can do

Are the tutorial tips not translated? The dialog is in English but the pop-up windows with instructions aren't. I installed the English patch, large files, and story patch

[KazukiQZ]

^The pop-up windows are pictures, hence it's impossible to translate them ,iirc.

Btw, only the core menus and stuff are translated, things that will help during your gameplay. Side stuff like flavour texts and (most of) NPC dialogues are considered as low priority.

Is Magatsu XH worth doing now or is SH better?

[knight1301]

Is Magatsu XH worth doing now or is SH better?

Yes because XH drop more 10* & 11* and the new stone too, and SH didn't

[Azure Falcon]

Yes because XH drop more 10* & 11* and the new stone too, and SH didn't

To add on to this question, does the XH version of Magatsu drop the 11* units more often than SH? Because as it is on SH I'm just wasting 250% boosters to get nothing but vendor trash in return.

[000111]

If you had to choose only one, would you pick Fortunate Omen or Skilled Trainer to farm rares?

[Korazenn]

Are the tutorial tips not translated? The dialog is in English but the pop-up windows with instructions aren't. I installed the English patch, large files, and story patch

The pop-up windows you see in-game do not display them because they tend to be images, not actual text (hence why putting your mouse cursor over the text doesn't give you the "I" beam), versus the ones that you can see and are translated during gameplay in menus because they aren't images. However, the Message Packs you come across 'SHOULD' be translated.

I want to note that we have translated nearly ALL Tutorials and Help Menu Windows and you view them by going to Esc / Start Menu > Settings > Information > Tutorials / Help Menu / Loading Tips. If you want to read through the translated content, it's all there for you. Getting that to display during gameplay isn't as much a priority for us due to there still being more things that we prioritize over it translation-wise in-game (that, and SEGA keeps changing the text at times that it causes some things we already translated to revert back to Japanese characters again, such as Quna's song lyrics >.<).

If you encounter any that aren't translated within those aforementioned Help areas within Settings > Information, please let us know. Note that newer areas and/or quests tend to take a little while to be translated, so it's best to just give those a little more time. :)

The general rule of thumb for us is that the most important features to the game get translated first. Afterwards, would be all the more informative aspects behind said features, and then the extra content that doesn't really matter as much.


Btw, only the core menus and stuff are translated, things that will help during your gameplay. Side stuff like flavour texts and (most of) NPC dialogues are considered as low priority.

The tutorials are all translated as mentioned above, but it just requires some extra steps: look in Settings > Information. You should have mostly everything translated in that area.

And, yes, it is unlikely that any of those flavour texts like NPC chatter for their COs that don't matter, random NPC dialogue, or descriptions of insignificant COs will ever be translated. Mostly because it's just a waste of time to do so as there's nothing important you're missing out on (everything pertaining to the game's story lies in the Matter Boards, Event Fields, and Story Quests associated with them).

To everyone in general, if you go to your My Room Terminal after going through untranslated parts of the Matter Board / Story Quests, you can view all of the cutscenes and Event Fields again through there as well once they do get translated. :)

[final_attack]

If you had to choose only one, would you pick Fortunate Omen or Skilled Trainer to farm rares?

Fortunate Omen, of course, so I can choose which element I want.

But, why choose one if you can have both activated at the same time, simply by bringing the weapon on your inventory? You do know that there are Zieg COs that can be completed to make Lv3 Fortunate Omen and Lv3 Skilled Trainer active from inventory (both must be at least at Lv1 potential), right?

[wefwq]

If you had to choose only one, would you pick Fortunate Omen or Skilled Trainer to farm rares?
Honestly i would just go for Skilled Trainer just because i don't have any rare drop i want anymore, my weapon mostly came from NPC trading.
It's been like a month already since my Omen GS just sit on my storage since i don't want to waste money on untekked excube pawn.

But when it comes to farming a rare weapon, i think fortunate omen are a must have since it'll make the rare drop comes boxed, would avoid some trouble like your stuff comes with most obnoxious element.


To add on to this question, does the XH version of Magatsu drop the 11* units more often than SH? Because as it is on SH I'm just wasting 250% boosters to get nothing but vendor trash in return.
Yeah, probably if it's follow the same fashion as the weapon.
I think they nerf rare drops on SH magatsu as well (?)

[LeftyTwoGuns]

Thanks for clarifying the translations! I didn't know those pop ups were translated in the menu, will definitely check that out

My Special Vita Package PSO2 game finally arrive! So, my question is that there are three codes on the back of the menu... This is awkward. The first package I bought didn't come with three codes. Can someone please tell me what does each code do? The first code is in the gold rectangle. I suppose this is the main code, because it looks like the same from the other package. The second code is the pink-ish red rectangle which I have no idea what it is. The third code is the blue rectangle. This one seem to be for PSO2es...

Top is main code, 2nd is a special code that only works for the first 30,000 people to enter it. The 3rd code is a special code for PSO2es.

Why do people not bother destroying Falz Arms anymore?

[nathanielzor]

Why do people not bother destroying Falz Arms anymore?
Falz Arms only increases the drop rates of units and has nothing to do with weapons. People want to kill Falz faster to do it on multiple characters instead of wasting time with arms which are pretty much pointless at this point.

[000111]

Thanks, I did not know that. Thats awesome. I accidentally activated EP3 once and I'd prefer to work through the story so I at least kinda know whats going on before activating it on my new character.

Is EP2 as long as EP1?

[pkemr4]

did they recently change how you can change your password? i noticed you can enter you name as a option, but when i put the right name it rejects it. After the Puu.sh Malware issue, im trying to change my password.

Have they just recently changed that? I remember destroying his arms would be like killing him once more or something along those lines.

[Anduril]

It has less chapters, but the second to last chapter is long and revealing; it is the only mission with actual checkpoints.
Also, just to let you know, the end of Ep.1 Chapter 10 leads into the Dark Falz Elder EQ, which will have an event tablet after the battle; same with the aforementioned chapter for Ep.2 and the Dark Falz Loser EQ. (technically not spoilers since those EQs pop up at random whether or not you have gotten that far in the story)

[Perfect Chaos]

To add on to this question, does the XH version of Magatsu drop the 11* units more often than SH? Because as it is on SH I'm just wasting 250% boosters to get nothing but vendor trash in return.RNG for his units are just weird. Back before the 4 runs per session nerf, I would go 3-4 sessions in a row without getting a single unit, but then one time, I got one of each unit from a single session of like 6-7 runs (guess I just got lucky). I do believe that XH Magatsu also has increased drop rates on units, as well, so if that's what you're aiming for, then do it on XH.
Regardless if you're doing it on SH or XH, it's never a waste to use +250% boosters even if you don't get anything you want to keep, since the net gain in "vendor trash" from using the booster will get you enough excubes to get multiple more +250% boosters in return.

[LonelyGaruga]

For junk drops only. 11-12*s don't get increased drop chances.

[Atlantis419]

I have two questions. Can average and weak stance be active at the same exact time? And 2nd question, is the 150 extra hp you get from crafting a gunne set worth losing the resistanes?

[Kondibon]

I have two questions. Can average and weak stance be active at the same exact time? And 2nd question, is the 150 extra hp you get from crafting a gunne set worth losing the resistanes?Only one of a particular class' stances can be active at once. You CAN have one stance from your main and sub class each active at once though.

I dunno about that second one.

[LonelyGaruga]

Saiki's base stats aren't actually that great for taking hits compared to crafting. The 150 HP is completely worth the loss in defenses and resistances (HP crafting is actually better for S-DEF and equal in strike resistance anyway).

Though PP craft would normally be better unless you want to take hits, like as a Hunter main or /Hu.

Hey I have a question, for someone reason fairly often whenever Im partied up and out doing quests my game will be like 5 minutes in the past.

It's SEGA newsletter something something that you get everytime they felt like to send it to you.
The contents are usually about SEGA games (not just PSO2), i don't really know if you can disable it, though.
Probably you might need to check SEGA ID page for opt-out option (you will need to be logged in to do so).

It's just average extreme lag and latency.
I seen one JP player getting lag on Loser fight before, everyone was looting drops while watching his circus attacking the thin air and get slapped by it for a good 5 minutes.

If you experiencing this kind of thing, just make sure that everything run properly.

[trevorwhatever]

anything I can do about this? I usually play with my brother and he's on the same internet as me and he runs smooth as fuck. I get this lag like 90% of the time I play, its really sad

Really?
If you both play PSO2 using same connection line, probably you might want to check your network adapter driver or something, and make sure it's working properly.

[trevorwhatever]

yea we are both hardwired to the same router. I dont have connection issues with any other games tho, think my driver could just cause this game to be shotty?
