You can do that on your own simply by deleting a specific file. That gets replaced every patch.

Is it the PSO2 Tweaker that lets you turn off the censoring? I never saw it since I use it, but a bunch of my friends have it and I don't recall changing any settings for it in-game. Seeing stuff like Sa#$%&ay and s%&$s instead of Saturday and shoes would be a blast from the past though, the old word filter was hilarious with what it would block.

e: That answers that question

It is in-fact the same filter file from PSO and PSU, with some additions. Like assgoblin.

Seriously, I switched to the Windows Store for the CBT and the game stopped booting for me last week. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling and it disappeared from my programs but was still holding on to 80GB of hard drive space. I had to do a bunch of loving around with filesystem permissions to fix it and I'm pretty sure there's still a couple gigabytes being used by it somewhere. Some people had to completely reinstall Windows to fully resolve it which is absurd.

Literally. WinStore loves to break itself and then permissions-gently caress the many GB the install takes, cordoning off huge chunks of your drive you have to pull teeth to get back.

I had the same problem as you and then I found this:

quote:

1. Open %LocalAppData%/SEGA/PHANTASYSTARONLINE2_NA_STEAM
2. Create a text file named steamupdate.txt
3. Put v70000_rc_135 inside it, by itself

should fix the problem

and it fixed it? i have no idea why but it did

If I wanna make a gunner/hunter do I start as one and level the other later

Assuming you mean base pso2, start with gunner and then when you unlock subclasses at lv20 you can set it as hunter and it'll slowly gain exp alongside gunner.
Eventually you will want to swap to hunter as main, though since subs stop gaining exp at a certain level, so prepare for that with weapons and such.

Yeah just start as a gunner then set hunter to your subclass, and then probably once you hit cap on your gunner start leveling your hunter

This reddit post claims you can fix it with just a txt file:

quote:

  1. Press Win+R to open the Run dialog
  2. Run %LocalAppData%
  3. Create a directory named SEGA if it doesn't exist yet, then open it.
  4. Create a directory named PHANTASYSTARONLINE2_NA_STEAM if it doesn't exist yet, then open it.
  5. Create a file name steamupdate.txt by right clicking > New > Text Document (IF FILE EXTENSION ARE HIDDEN IN WINDOWS EXPLORER YOU NEED TO NAME THIS steamupdate INSTEAD)
  6. Open the new file in Notepad
  7. Put the text v70000_rc_135 and save it.

Voila. Your launcher will work again. Repeat these steps if it breaks.

If they haven't added in a quest (beta didn't have one, but then that's no guarantee) you just go to the class counter and select subclass.

Good news on that steam issue, looks like they fixed it so you don’t have to change any local app data

Funnily enough when this cropped up for me last night just launching the steam version through the tweaker worked just fine since it was a launcher issue

if you wanna play gunner AND hunter yeah; but I think if you just wanna main gunner your subclass level doesn't matter in NGS. Skill points are earned by completing Cocoon trials, and those skill points are unlocked for all skill trees; meanwhile we no-longer gain any stats from our subclass's current level.

So do I need to do anything to import my character from PSO2? How do I even boot up the original game in Steam anymore?

because i make risky decisions
from a position of

I thought about staying up for launch, and then I thought, "I am a full grown adult, why would I schedule my life around anime?"

a very bad and dumb choice that paid off this one time

You don’t need to do anything. Once the servers are up you just go to a place that you can change blocks and you’re free to swap between pso2-classic and new genesis.

The only thing that isn’t shared is your character inventory, so you have to throw any units or weapons you want to use in new genesis into storage before swapping
