Also with my above question how bad of an idea/even feasible is it to try and set up like I was playing a RAmar in PSO1 and use resta/shifta/deband as a backup support? I used to play with only one other person so they'd tank and I'd DPS and we'd just alternate buffs and supporting lol

Thanks yall, I don't mind if I suck badly as a result, I just want to play PSO1 2 instead of PSO 2, if that makes sense. Obviously PSO2 is not that and much more than that but I am going to make it be that instead :v:

Speaking of which I appreciate that the first two rifle attacks are just "the entire three round burst combo from PSO 1" and "mag dump"

Btw, gamepass ultimate is having a special for a dollar for the first month right now. If you sign up and download the win 10 gamepass app you can claim the pso2 rewards and cancel gamepass if you don't want it before the next billing period. The PSO2 perks include some xbox related cosmetics and a bunch of premium stuff, including a bunch of scratchers which will if nothing else will probably give you a bunch of stuff that you can sell for a lot on the player shops.

This doesn't work with regular Game Pass btw, because for some reason it's not on there and only accessible through the microsoft store.

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

Yeah the server for ship 2 seems to have exploded.


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.


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.

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?

I'm a robot with three hats on my head and I could choose three different body parts so it's not like there's much to really do anyway? But these all seem like just weapon skins or endgame weapons that I assume I can get sort-of equivalents of anyway if I stick with it

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.

I didn't know that. Neat!

Bungie's never said but it's impossible that PSO1 wasn't a huge inspiration for Destiny, btw, and I've always appreciated that. The core design and loop and classes are almost identical, along with the top level themes (though for those, only there; Destiny's a sequel to Marathon and Halo thematically as well).

Everyone tells me it sucks but the PA where you just shoot the rifle straight up and the bullets fall around you at random just did 10000 damage to hard Dark Falz Eder while I'm level 27 and also everybody else died so who sucks now :smug:

I think more than PSO 1 rifle camos I want PSO 1 saber camos, that red-purple one looked cool as hell at the time

Red saber exists in the client as a wand/doublesaber camo. Lavis Cannon is a 14star wand we'll likely get at the tail end of ep4.

I know, I mean the plain old non rare gear though. The regular rear end red purple Saber looked cool. The pallasch maybe?

The more I play the more I realize this is pretty much what I wanted Destiny's strikes and raids to be. I really like how the ship shits itself and throws up red alerts and raid warnings all over the place and someone's on the PA system like "oh gently caress Dark Falz is here someone do something we're being murdered" and if you take the emergency order you just see a bunch of fleets fighting weird hosed up arms and you're on a wrecked frigate or something. Then when you go to fight the core it shows the same fleet and they're totally destroyed. It ends up being a fairly easy loot pinata but in a really fun way and it's still able to wipe you out if you gently caress a dodge up.

There's no real sense of urgency in Destiny, but also, half of the goddamn raids anymore are just running in circles, and it's a huge breath of fresh air that this is just "try not to squadwipe to this thing, also look out for the doomsday laser". Also as stupid as the plot is, and it's very, it's cool that it actually does things instead of staying in a holding pattern for all time.

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.

I really don't dig the art style as much as in PSO1. Things feel kind of generic. I really liked how all the Dark/Photon stuff looked in the first one, with the pulsing undulating neon bits. It gave a really cool vibe.

All this talk reminded me of ps zero on ds. It wasn't good but mobile pso was a good idea at least. It turned out to be in the same timeline as PSO too apparently.

I got to the second to last boss but didn't realize it and just put the game down lol
