So I tried to give it a shot, got an account made, and got it all installed. Every time I hit Play, I get a BSOD after GameGuard starts up referencing dump_wmimmc.sys, which is a GameGuard process. I've disabled (even uninstalled) my AV, to no avail. Kinda stumped on this one, it's definitely not RAM as apparently lots of people over time get blue screens with GG referencing that system file. Any thoughts?

I don't even seem to have that SYS file, in my PSO2 GameGuard directory nor anywhere else on my system. Unless GG only creates it when executed and then deletes it when PSO2 terminates..

That was hilarious, I honest to god saw that whirling red nexus come up behind you as I clicked yes to return to the campship. I was trying to think of what to do, because I didn't know if jumping back through the teleporter would start the mission over or what and then Dawnfire was all "KIRBY THERE'S DANCING" and uh.. well you made it out eventually, right?

How about 'sugoiassfuck'? I finally got rid of my random crashes by outright uninstalling zonealarm. Machine doesn't run nearly as hot while playing anymore either. Guess GG and ZA would spend most of the time dueling with each other. Guess GG won out since I eliminated the other program in order to be able to play. Did two of the new AQs last night/this morning. Dunno how I got to 60 with a class without playing these, so much more exp than virtually anything else.

Just to expand on that a bit, there's a particular Emergency Trial that pretty much guarantees a multiple cross burst if you complete it, and there are also weather conditions (rainbow stuff) that make it a lot easier to trigger PSE level ups. When you see the rippling rainbow screen effect, that means that you can trigger the Protect the Crystals Emergency Trial by running around the map until you trip it. It starts off with two crystals, eventually increasing to six, and if two are destroyed, you fail. If you succeed, PSE levels cannot drop, and the chance of triggering PSE level ups is greatly increased. SOP is to have everyone on the map bunch up in one location with a dead end behind it, usually the map entrance or exit, so that all of the firepower is focused in one direction, dramatically increasing kill speed and forcing respawns for huge XP gains. If everyone does what they're supposed to, you get a bunch of XP and items. Using a 75% ticket during a maxed out cross burst can get you 2-300K XP depending on which area you're in.

Made an account about 5-7 days ago, man this game is so much better since I last played, which was pretty much early beta. I made a Newman force and I am (for the first time in my online gaming experience) having a absolute blast. So is Zan as amazingly good as I think it is or am I just too dazzled by the amount of swirling blades of death?

You'll want to go down the Lightning and Fire trees in Force (get PP Charge Revival ASAP), and if you decide to go Techer it's very unlikely that you'll get anywhere near the Wind tree for a very long time (there are two very good abilities under Light, and one particularly useful cooldown under Dark, whereas Wind doesn't have anything to even look forward to).

Skill trees aside, there's also the problem that currently, there is only one enemy in the entire game that is weak to wind but not also weak to fire, and it's rare boss enemy. That may change going forward, but unless the tweak the Techter skill tree to put something really good on the wind branch, it's just not going to be worthwhile.

I'm hoping the third species of Darker will be weak to light/wind, and hopefully the new Chimera type of enemy on Vopar/Wopal will be weak to wind as well. I can see none of this happening, though. The marine enemies are probably all weak to thunder, too.

Well, rumor has it that the new darkers are avian-themed, so wind weakness sounds thematically appropriate. Making the regular monsters weak to ice would be nice, but the Ice tree for Forces is still garbage because Photon Flare is a terrible skill.

Yeah, it's really no contest. I personally feel that Lightning still edges out Fire just based on the excellent utility of Zondeel. You still want to invest a bunch of points in the Fire tree for Tech Charge Advance I+II, but the straightforward "blast it til it stops moving" nature of all the Fire spells limits them tactically. That said, Sa Foie is really nice to have in the City AQ, since as long as it's cast through a talisman, it removes the dead angles, including vertically. Adding more wind and ice weak enemies would at least mean that you could convince yourself that it isn't absolutely necessary to change the elemental damage type on your weapons as soon as you can afford to.

They might be, but the birds that had their models found in the game's client are actually called Chimeras for some reason. The mdels don't look like Darkers either.

I have been hankering to play a truly lovely game recently, and this looks anime as gently caress. I have a few questions! 1) I was watching a bunch of the class videos. Basically, I am coming from Guild Wars 2 and would like to jump around like a demented maniac shooting guns at things. Gonna assume that Gunner is a good class choice for this? 2) The MAG poo poo looks really confusing and I have literally never played any PSO-related game. I tried to read the MAG guide but honestly it's opaque as hell for new players. What is the best way to not screw this up? On the bright side I live in Japan so the client download is really fast

When the ABL/Dex stat starts getting too high (how much is too much is up to you), just alternate between feeding weapons and which ever healing item raises the attack you want.

Kessel posted:Is there any non-obvious reason to use the shooter mode over the lock-on system besides "it's more fun"? Hitting enemy weak points is not always possible/practical when using the lock-on system. You can, for instance, only lock on to a Rockbear's body, but their face is their weak point. This is especially important when applying Weak Bullet. Also pretty much every enemy with a face has its weak point there but you don't often get the option to target it (Oodans, Gulfs, Sa/Dinians, etc etc).

The headshot bonus damage only applies to guns, with a few exceptions where the head is also a weakpoint (bosses mainly). A key point for getting headshots with Addition Bullet is to jump, fire a regular shot, then JA Addition Bullet. AB is a hitscan attack with a cone-shaped hitbox that will damage whatever part is closest to you. If you're in mid-air, arms or whatever is out front will be below the hitbox, so you'll land all your shots straight to their face. This also means you'll want to keep enough distance to avoid landing the kick, since the follow up shots will end up hitting the feet/body when the target gets knocked back. One of the best examples of a boss with a bunch of breakables that require the use of 3PS mode is Zeshrader. You can break his leg and arm armor, as well as his four back cannons, but you can only lock on to his head or main body. As a tech user, you can switch to 3PS and zap those back cannons with Zonde to destroy them easily. There are some situations where 3PS mode or just not locking on is beneficial in melee as well. For example, locking on to an El Arda looks like you're locked on to the core, but your attacks will actually land above it. However, if you do unlocked Speed Reign or Slide End (for example) your attacks will be more likely to hit the core directly for much higher damage. This also works on De Marmos' hump with proper positioning (get right up next to him and jump) as well as Wolgada's eyespots.

This also works on De Marmos' hump with proper positioning (get right up next to him and jump) as well as Wolgada's eyespots. For El Arda, it actually has 2 lock on targets, its weakpoint, and its center point right above it, using the tabkey/the right analogue stick will let you switch lock on spots. Almost all darkers with the exception of Hunar and Gu/Ga wondas have a seperate lock on point for their weakspot.

Nah, I know that, but with the way they move and how melee hit boxes work, you often end up missing the weakpoint even when you're locked on to it. Jumping helps, but that changes PA animations, so it may not be desirable. For some reason, when you're not locked on, melee attack hit detection seems to prioritize weakspots and breakables. It's counterintuitive but there it is. A good example is Fang Banshee/Banther; PAs will prioritize unbroken parts over broken parts.

There's a bunch of options for melee depending on whether or not you want to break all the parts. Wise Stance and a Partisan or Wired Lance will let you smash the ankle plates from beyond the range of it's rear leg sweep pretty easily. If you just want to drop it fast, go Brave Stance and buzzsaw it's face off with charged Deadly Archer or build up sword gear to 3 and drop a leaping JA Over End
