anyone got tips for the Apprentice story fight, I'm getting a little better at it but it still kicks my rear end, feels really janky trying to dodge a bunch of rapidly respawning enemies and the boss at the same time in a clunky AIS suit

I can recolor the jacket, if I had a color pass, but there straight up isn't an option for the basewear. One of the vendors in the plaza sells the starting basewear. They should have the other colors.

Basewear is locked to the colour of the ticket you used to get it, you can't recolour those.Kild posted:One of the vendors in the plaza sells the starting basewear. They should have the other colors. Basewear as in the part of the layered clothes system, not the default stuff.

The best way to beat her right now is to fly in the air and fire missiles at her, with the occasional sword lunge when you see an opening.

Zereth posted:It's not a ticket, it's the female robot basewear. You're telling me there's no way to recolor this, ever? Oh, no I get what you mean now. Yeah you need a colour pass for that (and it'll affect your robot parts). Does the NA Swap Shop let you trade a Rappy Suit for one? That was always the easiest way in JP, other than the occasional campaign giving them out.

And this is different from the issue of "I do not like the colors on the default CAST basewear, which you can't recolor, which means this cute jacket I bought is useless to me", but I couldn't tell because I couldn't even TRY to recolor things without a pass in my inventory and then discover that it doesn't affect the basewear and the preview in the player shop didn't show what it'd actually look like when I equipped it

Okay..Alright I think I follow now, sorry. Assuming I am - the default basewear (for each race) isn't recolourable at all and you'll have to find one on the market you're happy with. Sorry for the confusion there.

Evil Fluffy posted:This needs to be in the OP. It's a huge help for new players since running around the laggy hell of the lobby/shop area to check quests for your mission sucks. They plan to fix lobby lag, but in the mean time you should probably just use the alternative launcher. Like, you should probably run it anyways. Apparently it's existed forever for the JP version so I can't imagine there's any risk associated in using it? It seems to have fixed the lag for me, and claims to fix some other issues people have been having with installation problems. It also let me launch the game at my native res and adjust the UI scale.

Well the game now shows up in the Xbox app. Didn't expect it to, but now it does with a wopping 1.8/5 score from 895 reviews. As you all expect, the way this game either refuses to work or uninstalls itself after working fine has tipped the scales to massively negative feedback. Ship 3 is starting to feel fairly empty, but I'm also playing on off hours usually.

Using the tweaker launcher changed my lobbies from 1 second freezes every 10 seconds (effectively unplayable, anyone who perseveres with that poo poo is way more patient than me) to completely smooth with zero issues whatsoever. If that workaround wasn't there I would have uninstalled the game already.

Zereth posted:Also while I'm complaining what the HELL is with the incredibly disjointed chopped up plot? Originally the story was done through things called Matter Boards. You'd run out into fields to find little events and also fill out random requirements to go down the story path. It was more integrated into the game but was apparently grindy as balls and everyone hated it so they eventually just completely axed it for the current layout where story is just given to you and you get the random unique missions every so often. This does make the story feel pretty chopped up and a bit weirdly paced since you just kind of end up watching like 20 cutscenes for every one actual mission yeah. It gets a little better once you get out of early Episode 1 since a lot of the early stuff is just "hey I see your exploring Forest/Cave/Etc here's some new NPC and a bite of some random plot of the day", once you get past that the plot starts to get more unified with stuff. That said it's still a bullshit anime plot so try not to take it too seriously.

I have a question about Fi/Hu. I'm using this guide: Fi/Hu I'm only level 35 Fighter and maybe 20 Hunter. However, I don't really care for twin daggers and infrequently use knuckles. Am I really limiting myself if I only use double sabers and invest the skill points from the Knuckles/twin daggers skills into the strike up skill instead?

I don't know why you wouldn't care for twin daggers, you can pretty much go bouncer mode and ladder combo up into the sky. From a guide I watched, daggers are better on bosses and double saber is better for little guys/hoards. While you're probably fine sticking to the doublesabers in most situations, I don't think trading the points from the weapon skills for some extra striking is worth it since there's no free respecing. Plus later down the line the level cap will go up and I think the new points you get will go into those striking up skills anyways.

Maybe I just need to experiment more because from what I've done double sabers seem to do more damage faster than daggers, even to bosses. One on one I've kind of been using knuckles but with double sabers I feel like I can use those big area moves and hit a ton of targets on a boss as opposed to hitting one spot. I suppose it's probably a problem of getting the right photon arts too, because with knuckles I only have one that hits a wide area (it's a figure 8 maneuver) and double saber I have a ton. I actually just found some pretty decent daggers for the first time too so I'll just play around with them.

Heads up the dlc purchases don't work like the rest of the microsoft store stuff I've played. I have a real old hotmail account that I use as my store account, and another account that I sign in with on forza and stuff. The sonic stuff is tied to whatever account you use for the store, so I've got to start over again logged into pso2 with my store account.

Dagger can be kinda annoying because it's lack of reach, but there's an art or two that act as homing attacks which are really good for getting in. The weapon move seems really handy for staying in the air and just getting general air mobility if you've invested the point into the dagger specific thing. There's also a ring you can get that will cause daggers to home in a bit when you're locked on a target.

The weapon move seems really handy for staying in the air and just getting general air mobility if you've invested the point into the dagger specific thing. I think what's really throwing me off is that in a lot of games (like Jedi Fallen Order, which I just played through at the start of the month) simply attacking will automatically move the character towards the target. I think double saber even does, but daggers don't seem to have any kind of movement associated with the normal attack. But I did the chrome dragon UQ this morning and managed to get a photon art that does a homing kick and another that is like a big spin. Now I just need to get used to the timing on all the moves.

Yeah, even though the tweaker fixed the lag, this game is just not for me. Uninstalled. Have fun those who enjoy it. My wait for a good new MMO continues for the - however many years since FFXIV:ARR came out - year. And if it's not an MMO but essentially Monster Hunter, why wouldn't you play MHW instead?

Saagonsa posted:They're different games with extremely different combat pacing and focuses On paper, monster hunter seems like it would be right up my alley. In practice, I don't like that the game is focused entirely around boss fights that you need to do over and over to advance, and need to always have company to make any headway. I mean you still have to grind poo poo out in PSO2, but It just feels unabashedly 'gamey' to me in a way thats hard to pin down and that I like a lot. Edit: everything is so deliberate in monster hunter, sometimes I just want to drop in and gently caress up some trash mobs without needing to coordinate anything.

Currently level 35ish, not really paying too much attention to MAGs or skill points but having a blast. Definitely feels the older Monster Hunter games but with better controls
