i just wanna say this new Eva EQ is super garbage to run regardless if they made this for story aspects, i dont know why I expect anything more from Sega with these low effort "content" updates they push out. It makes me wonder if JP player base even cares anymore or just eats this stuff up and go about their day instead of pushing Sega to create higher quality content. Same ol song and dance though, its just me being cynical about all this
All i'm getting at is that this collab EQ could have been so much more but isn't. I could complain about the Monster Hunter Collab but at least that kept me busy for more than 3 runs/15mins
Didn't expect the collab to have an actual story attached but here we go.
Always nice to see what Enga and Earth Guide are up to after ep 4 ended.
Shame the EQ itself is crap.
I like that the EQ feature Remiel because it's my favorite angel, but yeah, it's easy. I didn't expect much from an AIS only EQ anyway though.
so a friend of mine passed me some info on the story for the EQ (since I can't read everything) and I may or may not have thrown this EQ under the bus too fast.
Essentially, the reason why we don't have UH the first week is basically the sixth angel in the Oracle is a phantom and will be become more powerful since it's incomplete. UH release is what probably continues the story and assuming we'll see progression or changes of the entire EQ.
I'm keeping my expectations low for the time being still but seeing the beginning portion of the Story EQ left a bad taste in my mouth and left with implications of Sega being Sega with how the EQ went. I'll keep the rage on hold for now
kinda wish there was more interesting mechanics, but eh more cubes i guess
And the story of this collab seems half-assed as well:
There's an serious accident on the ship and where's Ulc (commander)? Where's Council of six? Where's Xiao in the end?.. All we had saw is Xiera and Ludmilla as if there's no more ARKS left.
Misato-tachi came to the REAL SPACESIP! with REAL ALIENS! onboard! Where's reaction? Only Asuka's weak reaction about Xiera and Ludmilla are nonhumans?
I wanna see proper reactions while they get to Oracle, while they meet and speak to all ARKS staff, not only these two, reaction towards Darkers and Profound Darkness threat... Where is all this?
dont forget newmans and dewmans and also why MC dont go to earth and watch evangelion in order to understand better the enemy XDQuote:

mostly because they literally stuck to her "baka shinji shenanigans" and pretty much didn't bring the rest of the character in (to be fair I'm pretty sure it's the thing people remember Asuka for anyway so)Quote:

I'm more surprised how you guys can keep up with the grinding of this content lol despite how you guys complain about it being boring, I barely have time to play lol _(<:3/
Meteor Weapon it's a magick spell: Get in the damn robot >_<
I put together a guide for the Ramiel Emergency Quest; AIS-only fights like this are typically balanced with less wiggle room; so once Ultra Hard gets added to it in a couple days, we may need more of the multiparty to know what's going on.

like yeah ya'll have probably been fighting it all week and don't really need this, but shrug, maybe you'll run into somebody that could use the reference
It's a good one but there's some tips: It's better to equip yourself with a Quick Blaster ring.Quote:

2 At this type attack pattern is 2 waves of 3-5 auto aiming projectles and 3rd is a shower one - it'll be better not to shield but dodge by stepping backwards then again forward leaving a shower behind (or move to the side, but need to be sure of nobody gets your shower), then instantly use shield for defending against a wave of projecles. After that there will be some time gap to refill PP or attack before 2nd wave of projectles. Then it'll repeats starting with a shower.
3 At bits wave need to be careful of large beam hitting diagonally in circle.
UPD: a best way to run this stage - get maximum height and turn camera downwards, then use multitarget rockets and common shooting to refill pp.
4 The best tactics on 4 orbs is to split 2 ppl/orb and reducing them slowly before shields spam begins, then activate PBs, but for pepole who don't even bother to maintain dps rotation it's useless.
5 At final phase need to be careful of the bits wave attack and shield yourself right after they show up, if don't do this - 100% oneshot kill, healing won't help.

that probably means the tact is purely a cosmetic change haha
Just bought out this weeks medal shop stock and still have more than 1k medals left... SEGA's made me sick already.
> People farming the shit out of a Quest before the most relevant version of it releases and then complain they are overfarmed
:teasip:
It's worrying when people play PSO2 to the extent that it makes them physically sick, and then have nothing to do but complain how bad the collab is...Quote:

You can only get 99 per week from cobalt shopQuote:

As usual the rest of the exchange shop is mostly fluff anyway soo.Quote:

Me neither. Was just pointing out its a thing because Mits asked.Quote:

And you can have my VERY BIG THANKS for an idea how to use overgrind of these medals.
alright, you got me there but with how off and on ive been playing these past 2 months, i can see why you beat me. I mean I see you occasionally running content I've dropped way more than me (including this Eva EQ which I've only ran twice now). I'm sure you ran the past LQ's a lot too, I didn't since I had no reason to with an exception to a couple of drops or free campaign stuff.Quote:

I have way more on another character but im not gonna bother with that, just a glimpse of whats on hand atm. maybe when im not lazy I'll sort stuff out again
You guys keep multiple stacks? As soon as a 2nd full stack* of any material is formed in my inventory, I sell / upgrade / exchange it. Sega has shown time and time again that hoarding anything works against the player in the long run. It's not advisable to hoard farmable materials in order to cash in at a future point (case in point, the situation with Goldnia, Goldest etc. materials)
*By stack I mean a quantity of 999.
i held on to my Schvelle materials and you look at people here on psow and other places whining about needing stones despite Enchanted Forest being boosted a million times, I think my hoarding payed off when I got to upgrade 3 Evleda sets to Schvelle instantly on release for alt ship characters while people who lack said materials are doing the Etoile campaign and w/e else theyre pushing out. I also have a couple of storage characters so hoarding is no issue for meQuote:

Neither of your two examples refer to a tradeable material like Gold materials or just moneymaking fluff, like grinders,Quote:

Sell Lambda Grinders at regular shop for 800 meseta each, one Lambda grinder stack is 800kQuote:

in case of your screenshot that's 5,594,400 meseta from Lambda Grinders alone and 14,832,000 meseta from Badge. So 20,4m that are just wasting 40 Storage slots for no reason.
Ive got like 10 stacks of each gold material and 12 stacks of that one material that comes with the 13* breakdowns elsewhere. Kinda why i said its not included here. I also dont sell grinders for money unless im super short of buying something then ill go exchange Ex Cubes for grinders.Quote:

It's been 2 weeks since the patch and still:
1 People don't know and even don't want to learn how to dps in the AIS properly doing 3 slashes till run out of PP which is slow and then refill it by holding shoot without even maintaining JAs which is slow too and have 0 DPS.
2 Keep killing first orb with PBs and bear with the shields spamming after that.
3 Trying to shield attacks which better to be avoided instead 'cause it's slow too and takes much PP.
4 Keep doing other weird shit...
So? Like, this quest is so easy it's almost impossible to lose. A friend of mine ran the quest with me for the first time after a long hiatus (only had one armada to get used to AIS Vega) and we still managed to beat the quest easily while losing only 1 support battery (because shield phase is very punishing), which doesn't even affect the final ranking.Quote:

It's basically like playing Techtor since Nabarta T0 works exactly like that.Quote:
