I feel like I'm doing something wrong as Bouncer because I have 1-4 set up with my buffs and then the rest are techniques, and it's kind of a pain in the rear end to reach over and mash or hold 5-0 during combat while trying to move around. I know you can move the cursor thing left and right in the menu and use B to activate the ability (like how it's always done on the controller I guess) but that feels even slower and harder to manage mid-battle. If you're using the techniques to change jet boots element, one option is to have a seperate subpallet where you just have all of your element changing techs. If you're going to be using offensive techs more often you could probably fit 1 or two onto your jet boots weapon pallet. Also, personally, I prefer having the actives on the right side of the pallet, since I'm pressing them less often than resta and such. Also yeah all red techs are fire, blue ice, etc. RBA Starblade posted:This is probably a dumb question but how do I dash? I can only dodge roll. Rifle, launcher, and tmg have a dodge roll as their dodge move. All hunter, fighter, and braver weapons (along with wand with wand lovers activated) have the step dash as their dodge.

I'm not sure how I feel about this game. I love the essentially high-res version of the Dreamcasty SEGA aesthetic it has. The Dreamcast is still my favorite console of all time. I grew up a SEGA fan and I still stan them to this day. I love all the ways to play pretty princess and make your character look exactly the way you want. The combat is fun and has lots of flexibility to do it your own way. The price is certainly right. As a F2P player you don't feel like you're missing anything essential, as opposed to, say, LOTRO or SWTOR. I tried the translated version a few years ago and found its menus and systems incredibly obtuse. I'd hoped that that was just the translation somehow, but nope. Just how it is. There isn't an inventory, there are 5 of them. And types of quests. And a dozen different currencies. You go through what passes for the story by standing at a terminal and viewing cinematics that mostly consist of character models standing still and talking in the middle of a field. For a game with so much stuff a lot of it feels shockingly low budget. It's really hard to keep track of what you're supposed to be doing. Half the time waypoints take me back to guy who gave me the client order instead of where I'm supposed to go to fulfill it. There's no quest tracking on the HUD as far as I can tell, so you just run around a zone until the announcer from Sega Marine Fishing yells a word scramble at you like CODE EMERGENCY JOKER at you and whack things. Lots of things are being thrown at me constantly but I have no idea what they mean. The world of it is so small, too. It's basically the size of a pre-World Monster Hunter game. There's no pretending this a second world you virtually live in. So I dunno. It's free, and it's not like there's a surplus of good new MMOs out there right now, so I'm going to give it a while and see if it clicks.

Just to clarify something, a F2P player gets three mags across three characters right? Is there any downside to just creating two additional ones just to claim the mag and then shunt them all over to a main character?

I don't need to give a poo poo about the ten billion different badges and photon drops and crystals and FUN and whatever the hell else currencies there are at all if I don't care about cosmetics even a little right Because the game just threw twelve different ones at me and I'm looking at vendors asking for ten thousand of them and uh no thanks, right now I'm just taking exploration missions or some quest and ignoring everything else (largely because half the time it throws me in the game without even letting me look at these daily orders or whatever those are). It's fun to play and pretty much exactly what I want from a PSO sequel on that front but everything else is a trash fire Saagonsa posted:Yeah the server for ship 2 seems to have exploded. Ah got it, the game didn't really explain what a dodge, sidestep, roll, etc were or how they were different. I guess this dash roll skill just puts me back to sprinting?

Yeah, it's called sidestep dash but it works with any dodge move. Just try and jump out of the roll and you'll be going at sprint speed. e: also while there is a ps4 version for the Japanese version of the game, I don't believe there was ever any word about them bringing that over here.

There's Ilzonde which is a lightning tech that dashes you forward. There's also Zandion but it's a combo tech so it's a bit of a grind to get, also I don't know if its in the NA version yet or not.

There's a katana PA that does a pretty long dash that you can dodge cancel repeatedly for real quick movement as well, for any Bravers out there. I forget the name unfortunately.

For the folks who don't go on Reddit. (Note, this will prevent your PSO2 game from running updates, as the launcher is what retrieves updates. I believe Arks-Layer is working on a update for PSO2 Tweaker which will bypass the default Launcher, allow updates to PSO2NA, and prevent the lag experienced in lobbies by people using the default Launcher.) https://www.reddit.com/r/PSO2/comments/gsn90o/workaround_fix_unbearable_lobby_lag/ u/Krisan-Thyme posted:I know many of you like myself have dealt with unbearable lag in the lobbies. It's been so bad, that the game is utterly unplayable at times, forcing players to go to the Cafe or Casino to find a bit of relief. Well fortunately I have discovered a workaround for this issue that eliminates the majority of the lag. (A little bit is unavoidable, but it will no longer hitch every few seconds like before, and when it does happen it should be very brief and resume to a playable state thereafter.) dnb321 posted:Thanks for testing.

Photon spheres are used when upgrading your weapons (to upgrade your bonus past +10, +20, and +30 you need to spend photon spheres). FUN scratch cards can give you non-cosmetic items like grinders, exp boost items, etc.

Mags are tied to the character yeah, you can't storage and transfer them at all. That said you get 3 character slots for free so if you aren't opposed to alts you can have 3 different characters with different Mag stats if you wanna play around with just about everything optimally.

Oxyclean posted:There's like, cooking and ring making? Or is there also more crafting that got added later? In addition to rings and food, there was originally a separate system in jp that let you power up old weapons, give temp buffs to units, and customizes photon arts and techniques The equipment stuff sucked, never compared to endgame rares, but the PA/technique customization was big and buffed a lot of techs.They later also created “type 0” techniques and photon arts which basically took the sucky ones and completely revamped them into new powerful attacks. The equipment stuff i can gladly live without but force without the type 0 techs is a no-deal for me

I'm supposed to extract ore but for some reason the meters on the drillers start going down after they go up half way. I'm... v confused? Btw, uh, I started on Ship 3 w/ some of my other friends, but it looks like goons are on 2. I'm guessing I have to reroll to get to squad up w/ goons?

Open up Notepad as an admin, go to File>Open, and then go to C:\Program Files\ModifiableWindowsApps\pso2_bin (not sure on the name of the folder) but drill down through files until you find a text file named version.txt, and open that up in your admin enabled notepad. Change the JP to NA, save the file, and then make it Read Only, so that the Launcher can't gently caress up and change your version to JP.

Apparently downloading and running the tweaker is a good way to fight lobby lag as it launches pso2.exe with a different set of arguments than what the Launcher launches it with, that GameGuard doesn't freak out about.

Now I'm curious how many players have been bounced away and never to return from this game by day 3 (+8 years). Between the archaic quasi-MMO design and the launcher's attempts to beat up people's computers this probably couldn't have gone worse. Both renaming the launcher exe and using the tweaker make the game run how I thought it would run for a game this old too. Anyway, Mag is L33 and I need to bind its superpower to something. Will casually play a little here and there, but most of my friends who wanted to play all left (yes, never to return) yesterday.
