You can take about 2 hours and level an alt up to lvl 30 and sell the mag devices for an easy 3-4m meseta.

Reminder, the Clear Story Quest Campaign ends tomorrow evening. So if you're wanting that 40SG or this cape or emote, you have to clear about 2/3rds of the way through Episode 2 by tomorrow night.

I am pretty sure we were supposed to get Rappies emote at some point, not sure when that one closes out or closed out.

As per the PSO2 website, matinence starts at 11pm PST on June 23rd. Which means June 24th 2am in EST.

If I've done none of the story, is there any chance I could power through it between 5pm EST and like Midnight? I've still got to work, so I can't play during the day.

Even hardcore isn’t too bad if you’ve got good gear, though some of the episode 2 boss fights can be slogs even with maxed weapons. But if you want speed, definitely do casual and come back for hardcore later. Also note that you don’t have to finish Episode 2; once you get the spell book emote you are done. I actually did finish Episode 2 tonight, and the story was way better than Episode 1. I just have one complaint: who taught Ulku to dress like that?

Is there anything important or interesting you miss by just skipping the story and watching the Episode Oracle anime instead?

sevenflow posted:Is there anything important or interesting you miss by just skipping the story and watching the Episode Oracle anime instead? Not until Ep3. The anime doesn't include harukotan or magatsu (because it's totally irrelevant to the plot and exists only as a framing device for a boss fight) but other than that it's pretty much exactly the same story. I suggest watching the anime first and then skipping every cutscene in the game unless it doesn't look familiar to the story you already saw.

Just watch the anime and skip all story unless you’re a weirdo like me that must consume 100% of both.

InspectorCarbonara posted:The anime does also skip over the dragonkin which otherwise wouldn’t be a big deal, but there’s a major plot point in episode 6 that will involve them. Do they re-explain How dragon reincarnation works and their views on physical bodies being disposable, or is that whole plot thread only for people who did the matterboards?

Hello peoples. I'm trying to get this thing up and running via the tweaker and I apparently messed up somewhere along the way. I'm getting the error where it wants you to find an app to open PSO2 with after you start PSO2 via the tweaker, then errors out after a minute or so. The only thing that went wrong at all was running the winstore_fix file when I wasn't using admin rights. I've since followed other instructions to turn on admin rights via the command app and re-run the file, but I'm still getting the same error. If it makes a difference, the window that opens when I'm running the winstore_fix file closes on its own seconds after opening. Has anyone else run into the same thing? I'm running trouble shooting stuff via the tweaker just because why not, but more direction would be helpful. Thanks.

That means the appx package isn't registered. Kinda had to futz with that myself this morning after replacing the drive it was installed on with a clone, but I ended up running WSRESET from elevated Powershell, rebooting, then running the pso2_winstore_fix.ps1 script from elevated Powershell.

^^^ I specifically mentioned that part in my post.kirbysuperstar posted:That means the appx package isn't registered.

This has led me down a rabbit hole where the script starts to run, and then errors out with this in the command prompt: PauseAndFail : A parameter cannot be found that matches parameter name 'or'. At <my game dir>\pso2_winstore_fix.ps1:485 char:113 And then in the log file: Transcript started, output file is <my game dir>\PSO2NA_PSLOG.log Version 2020_06_22_2049 The PowerScript NOW need to be placed in the Tweaker folder to be able to read the UpdateEngine JSON files Neither the game nor the tweaker are installed in the same directory as Windows. ..I haven't tried rebooting yet though, let me do that.

IIRC in the origional version of the story The dragons would purify their world by drawing all the contaminants into their bodies, and then when they died the giant living crystals that ruled their clans would reincarnate them -memories intact. But the DARKER infection attacks the soul, not the body, and every time a dragon would get reincarnated, they'd wind up getting more corrupted and more violent. The good/bad timeloop split with the Vol Dragon was Aki working this out and having the player character forcibly purify the dragon. The Quartz Dragon with the little kid's voice that she later befriends is unique because it's the first "new" soul in [long period of time]

Well, I got all the way through the story, at least up to getting the [SPELLBOOK] emote, so that's cool. Its a shame the story itself is in ragged tatters, because what IS there does seem interesting.

I dunno, caricatures suck. I've seen more than enough advertising from Japan "all foreigners are lily white, have blond hair, and big noses, or are black, have red lips and look like Sambo (the racist caricature)" to kinda really not like cheap/lovely generalizations? (Yes I know it comes from living in a monoculture with no appreciable interactions with people who are not like you, still sucks) I'm really wavering on whether I'm amused or not with this.

Is the JP side of the goon discord still alive and kicking now that NA came out? I barely played for the past few months and now I'm getting back in to the swing of things and could use a place to putz around in while waiting for EQs to pop.
