Played a bit yesterday, shut down for the night, woke up this morning, shortcut does nothing. Googled around, lots of people having same issue. Can't uninstall or reinstall the game. Reddit post detailing loving with permissions possible works but updated the post later saying it actually doesn't work.

Literally unplayable, unironically.

I got around needing to format by renaming my Windows Apps folder in the problematic HDD

I formatted my G drive to try and reinstall on C. Windows Store re-downloads the game but gives an error and doesn't install.



e: I restarted my PC and the store button said "play" which activated the launcher, so I'm re-downloading again.

Can't wait for this to come to ps4, I've been waiting years for this game but there is no chance in hell I am installing windows 10 and going through the stuff I have seen people post about itt to play it

Are there plans to bring it to Playstation? I figured being Windows Store/Xbox cross play meant that Sony was out of the picture.

I ignored the casino for my first couple of days then went in yesterday, cashed in all of my coin tickets to 1900 cc, then grinded up to 10k for the Jet Boots Camo. Blackjack definitely felt like the best payout over time, plus you get to hang out with other people playing anime blackjack.

Mesetan shooter is fun, it's basically a shooting game combined with plinko from The Price is Right. You have to move your turret with A and D to catch coins and power ups, and avoid catching bombs. Don't shoot Mr. Umbra (was that his name?) the weird huge guy. He drops bombs. (Don't hit him if you see him during an Urgent Quest either, he gives you stuff if you just let him hit you.)

Rappy slots is really cute but trying to grind 5 gold rappies AND hit a wild after takes forever. I got extremely bored trying to grind that out. The other slot game is also frustratingly slow. It can give you a huge payout or you can lose it all in a 50/50 guess. I didn't bother with roulette.

Overall I'm happy I got the Jet Boots Camo. It has a cool special effect where coins spill out of everything you hit (unfortunately it doesn't actually give you more coins). I'll probably grind out more of the weapon camos over time because I enjoy hanging out and playing blackjack.

Bloodplay it again posted:

Don't forget that you can sort storage. When you go to a vendor that has "sell items from storage," click all inventory on the left and then click your weapons tab. Sort by rarity and sell everything up through 9* that you don't want to feed to your MAG. Then click the units tab and sort by rarity again. Sell everything up to 9* unless you wanna keep it for a different class, in which case lock the item. That is most of inventory management. Remember, you can hold shift to select things just by hovering in the sell screen. Sort by rarity with least rare at top, scroll down to the 9*, then hold shift and go up to the top of the list.

You could skip picking up all 9* or lower gear, but think of it this way: each piece you sell is basically a chunk of meseta you had to press E to grab. It adds up very quickly and once you know how to quickly sell 100 items, clearing out storage every couple of days isn't that big of a deal.

Once you start getting 10* weapons you don't want, use the swap shop to turn them into ex-cubes. Second floor shop vendor will let you trade them for a variety of goodies, including 3000 FUN points tickets that will sometimes grant you shop passes, on top of tons of cosmetics and grinding materials.

Thanks for these tips, I didn't notice selling from storage nor did I know about shift scrolling to sell fast.

Ok cool. All of my tier missions rolled over to super hard and I just started doing very hard so I probably won't hit level 20 before the new pass next week but I'll probably be able to finish the next one so that's good enough for me.

But speaking of tier missions, one is to defeat 5 rappies and it's stuck at 2/5 and I guess my definition of defeating rappies differs from Sega's because I don't know what to do

You can spend 25 star gems to get +1 tier in the mission pass. The mission pass also rewards 25 star gems at some tiers. Are you stockpiling star gems for something else? You can also get star gems from other achievements or w/e the missions are called. I got some for playing around with lookbooks the other day.

I mitigate this by having both auto-mate and Iron will on hunter subclass. Combined with good, upgraded armor and MH, I can just sit there and facetank most long-range SH boss hits while maximizing DPS.

I do have to do some moving around spamming steady shot while finding a good camping spot, but it’s definitely doable. Having aggro does decrease my DPS due to this, but that makes sense to me.

I enjoy the FPS mode shooting, though. If you don’t, Ranger is definitely not for you.

I was googling about units and I found this reddit thread talking about the Brissa set. I decided to spend my Rising Weapon Badges on two pieces and I bought the third piece for a little under 3 million meseta.



These give a big chunk of HP and 9% to all resistances from the set. It feels like a hefty amount of survivability, but I have yet to try Ultimate Quests. I've been able to live through shots from everything I've encountered in Extremely Hard quests so far, though I am quick to cast Resta.

For everyone who's not at end game, if you feel like you're getting one shot a lot, you can get the Sub / Weapon Barrier unit from Cofy immediately after creating a new character and talking to Afin.

.

I sold this on my first character without realizing how good it was. Make three characters and pick up three of these, and you will have an extra 450 hp, plus 6% resistances to each element. You can enhance them to +10 for cheap as well. Grab a guts drink in the drop ship before your quest to add even more HP and you'll probably feel a lot less squishy.

e: to put in perspective- here's my newly created alt's hp without the units on

with 3 Sub / Weapon Barriers equipped

with guts drink ZX (1200 meseta)


I'm not a math guy but that's a ton of HP!

For any range attack during PSE Bursts you can hold down Left + Right mouse button and alt tab out, and it will stay held down.

I've been farming the Amped VHAQs with my Alliance like this. We all have All Class launchers, either Sigma Bastad or Shooting Drive. When the burst comes we just park in a corner, jump up into the air, then start firing and never stop. Somehow I'm not bored of it.

Based on the amount of times the windows store has already hosed things up I'd wager it's only a matter of time before you have some sort of issue that requires a reinstall. May as well go through the tweaker first and get ahead of it.

Without outright buying the weapon off the AH I'd say the odds of getting a weapon you actually want are extremely low.

They're so cheap I'd recommend just buying them all and trying them out. That forum thread doesn't show you the special effects, like the "leaf in autumn breeze" launcher explosions are fireworks, and all of them have an animated leafy aura when you use the weapon!

Hit me up on discord @ Diephoon#3230 if you're on ship 2 and I can show you whichever camo/weapon combo you want.

Anyone cleared the new Challenge Quest yet? I've done two runs the last two evenings with my alliance and it's pretty brutal. We got about 85% clear both times and it took an hour. Really fun though, nice to have a challenge even if it's as hosed up as having to dodge an overleveled version of the fire bired from ultimate while fighting another boss.

Also at one point I got put into one of those falspawn prisons a mile away from my team, and I was stuck in there with the giant beetle boss. Thankfully I had a self-res doll on me.

He just gets straight to relevant info, doesn't do any HEYYY ITS YA BOY DUBSTEP 30 SECOND INTRO DONT FORGET TO SMASH THAT LIKE BUTTON

e: Here's a guide compilation site.

I would highly recommend joining the ARKS-Layer discord (the pso2 tweaker people). Even if the tweaker is less useful once the steam version is out, the discord is still going to be a good place to chat with other players outside of the game, with specialized channels for general advice and each class discussion. Also useful for grabbing some extra players for whatever you're running if your group isn't full.

You can clear the story right now to get a Dreamcast Mag Device but this ends on 8/4.

Previously this was only available to Xbox Closed Beta testers, not sure how available it was to JP players. Presumably they can bring it back again but who knows when.

I can't give you an exact estimate. Hours and hours. I've been mashing skip through the whole story and sticking to casual boss fights to get them over with and I'm not done with episode 3 yet, though I only just started episode 3 today. Episode 1 in particular seems pretty sloggy.

I know it kind of defeats the point, but I really love smacking things in the face with the launcher. It's very satisfying to see them go flying.

I've considered making a Ra/Gu point blank launcher build for fun, but then I play Lillipa Ultimate and remember why I stick to ranged combat. I love the idea of a point blank launcher specialist though. Like a Grammaton Cleric but with a big anime cannon :allears:
