poe meater posted:How's yall framerate? I didn't run any monitoring programs but it was definitely not smooth during the tutorial mission. I'm totally smooth in missions but lag a bit in the lobby especially when I just loaded into it. Kind of expected as much day of launch though, lots of folks in it. Turning down the max number of detailed models rendered helped a lot though.

For the subclass quest do I just have to hope that a Rockbear randomly pops in Forest Exploration? E: wait nvm I think I got it confused for something else, it requires a different monster entirely Catgirl Al Capone fucked around with this message at 01:00 on May 28, 2020 |

Oxyclean posted:Is the story mode stuff supposed to be a bunch of disjointed cut-scenes? It feels like these were supposed to go with quests or something. they used to go with two systems, the matter board and map events. matter board was basically a chain of objectives you'd unlock by grinding in order to then unlock the main story quests, and some of the requirements were seeing the map events that would be nodes on the various maps. it was a LOT of grinding

Banjo Kaczynski posted:just swapped to techter at the start, am I utterly blind or do i just not start with spells? you only start with a handful of arts/techs for the class you initially pick, the others you have to find/buy/turn-in for. there's a vendor in the shopping area that sells a few simple techs that can get you started.

Million Ghosts posted:does race matter much now that robots can cast spells? wanna be an edgy oni lady but don't wanna back myself into a corner for class selection. i'm assuming it works pretty well with a controller considering it's on the xbone too? race only matters for the most important stat in the game - fashion CASTS are locked out of some outfits but in turn non-CASTS can't use their unique robotic units, some of which are pretty cool and/or cute

first thing new players should do is run through Afin's simple tutorial client orders, it's a lot of exp to start with and tells you about most of the core, most important mechanics in the game for maintaining your loadout. next, do practice quests for the basics and the class you want to start with. and after that i'd suggest going through the episodes' story quests, do the prereq exploration missions as needed, and try out urgent quests when they pop up (they have a normal difficulty that will ease you in, and you can just drop in without organizing a party if you want). definitely go to the cafe and learn about harvesting and skill rings as well. do cofy's client orders too as they come up since they unlock some important stuff like difficulties and extra slots for weapons and subcommands. you can hop on dailies and weeklies and figure out the rest later, you don't have to learn everything at once.

punk rebel ecks posted:So this game is less of a traditional MMO and more like a looter dungeon-lite explorer game with Monster Hunter-like bosses. That's the gist that I got from my two hour playthrough. Pretty much. PSO1 was one of the design inspirations for MH, which branched out into its own direction focused on attrition and learning monster behaviors.

afaik gunblades mostly just exist so if you start a new class and don't have a good weapon/PAs you can rely on the gunblade until you do

once they figure out what they want to do with it pso2's plot is 90% in service of extremely anime characters interacting and bouncing off each other, if you don't like that approach to writing it's not gonna be fun for you. some real fun solo fights in there though.

Don't make my mistake on Gunner and neglect slotting Grim Barrage for ~50 levels, the ability to follow boss weakpoints around after diving or when they turn is invaluable

MelvinBison posted:Thanks for the advice. I was told by friends bows were gunblade-levels of bad, but I was having fun with both and was leaning towards Bouncer as my next leveling class anyway. bows are great but they take a bit of effort to get used to and fully master, even the basic attack is a projectile that can miss!

Chaitai posted:Is there a wiki or something that tells you where you can find certain enemies? I can't find level 21 falspawn for the Hunter or be Hunted client quests and it's driving me insane. something you can do in game is select the orange tab at the top of the client orders window and check each area, the quest should be listed under the area they expect you to run to complete the order. if the target is a boss but not listed as the boss of the expedition check if theres a sub->ark quest called "Subdue X" that guarantees a spawn of it.

Mordiceius posted:I'm playing a Hunter because i thought "how can you gently caress up just fighting with a big sword" and turns out hunter loving sucks because every monster just moves around spastically and all the photon art animations just lock you in place. I play a dark knight in FFXIV and I never feel like I can't hit the enemies. Most weapons intended to be used in melee should have a chasing gap-closing PA, I believe Hunter's is Guilty Break?

Mordiceius posted:I think my problem is that I don't know how I should be using the skills. Should I just be spamming them? Is there some sort of rotation I should be doing? PSO2 is an action game, you use your skills to suit the situation and what you want to do. Chasing an enemy? Use a gapcloser. Out of PP? Regenerate it with weapon attack. About to be hit? Dodge, block, use an action's invincibility/guard frames/mobility, etc. You'll find ways to naturally link various attacks and PAs together as you play. For example, when I play Gunner, using Grim Barrage puts me in a perfect position to follow up with Bullet Hail and land all hits including the initial kick.

Mordiceius posted:But you can only have 4 skills on your bar at any given time really (if you have a spot for basic attack and a spot for guarding), how do you pick which four to use? You can have multiple instances of the same weapon on your palette with different PA loadouts, and swap between them out or in combat.

jokes posted:Am I doing myself a huge disservice by basically skipping the story missions? I mean, I feel like I know what’s going on. There’s a couple planets, an evil force, the evil force is bad and we need to kill it but it also corrupts things. My allies are various flavors of anime, there’s a shy mystery magic girl, robots. it's not a great story, you don't lose too much. there are moments that are funny with how absurdly anime they are but it doesn't get cranked to 11 in being entertainingly trashy until episode 4

the only part of the story I really liked was time-traveling to witness how Matoi's tragedy happened. i feel like that thread rolls all the decent parts of the plot into one arc and makes later Episode 3 stuff better by existing.

i think the usefulness of OTS mode is a bit overstated but in fights where your target ports everywhere and drops your lock like an rear end in a top hat being able to pivot and start wailing on them immediately is great

kinda funny to think if they released through steam instead it probably would've been a much cleaner launch. steam started as a totally garbage storefront/launcher app, about where the windows store is now if not worse.

Buried alive posted:This is my concern. Gunner looks fun, but if the guns always outclass other weapon options it might get meh pretty quick. IME gunner doesn't really get old because most of the fun is in learning how you can get away with being as aggro as possible by abusing stylish iframes in any given fight.

Yeah this is an action-focused game and a lot of PAs have side-effects you might not immediately think of that can lead to major breakthroughs in the huge number of ways you can combine all the damage and mobility tools you have access to.
