Hey, a lot of people have been asking about Mags on the irc so I'm dropping a link from PSO-World that has a guide for them here.

How do worlds/dungeons/levels/whatever work? PSO 1 style or is it more seemless?

Each map is randomly generated occassionally being swapped out by another generated map after a certain amount of time.
There are 3 sections in each generated map. All of them connected, none are disconnect whatsoever.

Only in certain quests will maps be preset. They are namely time attack, story, and emergency quests.

You're not kidding. It took me nearly a day to download and patch it....

and then had to completely uninstall and repatch, because I'm bad at patch orders, and installed the translation BEFORE patching. Of course then it took almost another day to actually play the game, since my email address wouldn't actually recieve the authorization code, so I had to switch it which meant bumbling around with the captcha for a few hours.

When I finally got in game, I had quite a bit of fun with just the tutorials, so I think it was worth it.

There is a file check button in the launcher that allows you to regain any of the original files so you don't have to fully reinstall the game.

The pre-paid code has its own balance. You can use the code as many times as you want till it's balance hits zero. You do not need to make a webmoney account.

It's probably a good idea to have a webmoney account/wallet anyway, as any problems in obtaining AC means you're not getting any back unless you can claim it. Had a friend who lost money because of the AC problem that happened a month or two back.

Maybe you guys should spit at each other anywhere than inside the thread, hmm?

In any case, do we have anymore information on Braver skills? I know that Weak Hit Stance is one of them (or at least I heard it is) and was wondering what the other ones would be.

As Protocol 5 said, Weak Bullet is limited to only the weapon you have equipped. You can tool around with multiple PAs and maintain your WB stock as long as it's on the same weapon. If you're honestly going to be running around with Killing Bonus (which is trash because it's limited to melee range, most rangers shouldn't be in melee range), you'll be needing ways to group enemies up.

Alternative ways to do damage while you have WB stocks: use techs, traps, or tools.

If you want a good position in staying in the fight while having weak bullet active majority of the time- you should keep the skill at 3. Keeping it at 3 gives you two stocks, in which you are able to offload PAs into one then regain your pp via normal fire once you unload the second one.

Well you could always grab one level in WB then perma slot Zero Distance, Crazy Smash, and Rodeo Drive onto slot for melee launcher antics. What I described is mostly meant for bosses anyway.

Which I honestly use if I'm just dicking around as a RA/TE. gently caress Additional Bullet, I'm punching poo poo with missiles.

Somtimes, you do want to do matter board stuff due to the campaigns that surround it.

Currently there's a campaign for completing MB10 with milestones at 3 and 6. It'll probably be over when Episode 2 comes out since the matterboard is how you unlock the story.

For grinding, best way to do low level grinding right now is through Border Break with CO fodder inbetween or the Burning Rangers event EQ. For higher level stuff (45+), you'll want to grind via BB, AQs, Falz, or if you're bored enough XQs if you're 55+.

Well that's rather depressing. Looking up boss fight videos with different classes, and when I looked up Techer, I got a video of a Techer fighting Fang Banther/Banshee except they spent the whole time using a Dual Saber with Deadly Archer.

You won't find any Techer videos because literally almost every Techer plays them as a FO. Which is poo poo because I find wands and their gear fantastic.

Also, I keep on hearing that people say that Wands have a longer cast time than rods which is complete bullshit. They're pretty much the same and I want video proof that they're different.

Fun fact: If you're not subclassing FO and all of their tech damage modifiers, you can subclass FI and boost all of your attacks with stances. Alternatively you can use HU and tank through everything or (not really sure on this, still investigating) have your melee and gear be affected by Fury Stance.

Alter-alternatively, you can be wierd like me and subclass RA for WB and Killing Field/Bonus shenanigans.

Protocol 5 posted:

Wand Lovers description says it maxes Wand Gear but reduces PP to zero. If it's a cooldown, it could be OK, provided the cooldown is short, if it's a passive, it would be pretty terrible.

Wand Reactor adds a percentage of a wand's T-ATK to your S-ATK. Presumably a 10 pointer, it would have decent synergy with Wand Gear, but it would depend on the percentage whether or not it would be worthwhile.

Wand Lovers definitely sounds like an active skill, since complete reduction of PP at any given time is stupid bad, even for Sega.

Wand Reactor however sounds like a great advantage and firmly defines Techer as a battlemage since Wand Gear based or influenced by S-ATK anyway.

I see it as more of a boss use thing. Get 1 point in it, burn your PP on tagging the bastard if necessary then use Wand Lover to max out your Gear if you're running low or didn't get any gear gain.

With Wand Reactor, you're not going to be using much of techs outside of utility anyway.

Unless they changed how charging for Namegid works, pretty sure it's just a flat damage boost with a charge cap.
Also you forgot or never knew that ALL of the 6* PAs drop from rare bosses or mobs.

Speaking of the new techs. Which ones drop from which enemy?

Anything that isn't Room or Lobby Action is character bound.

I gotta hand it to them, they did a great job with Braver. The core gameplay is really fun, with cool animations and PAs, and you can build one to combo with any other class and get good results.

I need to get a better bow so I can see how well Br/Ra works. Weak Stance plus maxed out WHA and SS should make for some impressive headshots. Kamikaze Arrow is also hands down the best new PA. All problems should be solved by ramming into them headfirst.

Br/Ra is pretty great from what I'm doing. Despite the fact that I'm doing low damage against normal mobs with katanas, I'm dealing shitload of damage against bosses with the bow, weak bullet, and weak stance. Only thing I don't like about the bow aspect of Braver is the delayed start of rapid fire.

Hey, I did the original level 45 SP COs for Fighter back when you had to kill 7/7/5 literally the day before it got reduced to 3/3/1. Anyway, the easy way to do it if you have at least one class at high level is to get an appropriate all-class weapon then run BB for Quartz and Fang, and wait for the Big V EQ to get him. As long as you're in a full room you shouldn't have any trouble actually killing them, just wait til they're almost dead to swap over to the weapon you need.

Vardha isn't even that hard to murder. :V

It should be noted that you can use your normal weapon for combating the bosses for those COs, just that you need to deal/have the killing blow with whatever you need for the boss.

I would say primarily weak stance and all of the skills relating to it save for weak hit critical.
You also would probably want the pre-reqs for maxing out rapid shot mastery since that's at least a 15% damage boost.

You will definitely want to grab RA as a subclass though if you're focusing on weak point hits and weak point hits alone.

If they're adding in new skills or overhauling stuff when 65 cap and super hard hits, we'll get the point refund tickets. If they don't, we're SoL.
