Thanks for the corrections on the item guide; I suspected some of that info was wrong, since a lot of it is based on polling experienced players from ship 2. I've tried to update and clarify things appropriately.

Feel free to send corrections via forum PM or twitter or something instead of posting in the thread. I'll probably keep revising to make them more concise and accurate.


My boost week projects:




Spot the ability transfer that failed even with a +30% success rate boost! :bang:

My week's been productive.

got a weiss comet and fully buffed it, got elysion to 50 element, and got a emporer axeon grinded for 2 characters since they are so cheap.
Also got new units and attempted to get modulator/ability III/stigma on them, but only succeeded once, and have since run out of fodder units to keep trying (and ive tried like 30 times). Cougar soul worked as a good substitute at least.

got some footage of the update after next, pretty much the same things again; new lobby, Urban/Ruins/Sanctuary SHAQs, the 2nd XQ gets floors 51-60. but most importantly we got some footage of PAs.

Ilmegid looks like some sort of spooky ghost that flies around hitting various enemies
The wired lance PA is basically Razan
Launcher PA fires a slow as gently caress shot that creates a massive, lingering explosion
and the fist PA is basically Sacred Skewer but more awesome because it involves a giant fist coming down from the sky

I'm assuming the Coast/Quarry/Seabed SHAQs are in the pipe to round off the rest of the new PAs and the wind tech.

Apparently satellite cannon is a charged move and it fires more beams if you charge it longer. But dunno, it would be very sega to give a ranged attack option to a melee weapon and actually make that one meteor better than satellite cannon's multiple beams.

People say bigger is better.

But for the first time in my life, I think I've gone too far.
That's kinda what happened when Sacred Skewer was introduced. It was bugged to have infinite range or something and suddenly partizans became popular.

Would anybody be up for helping me and a friend run all three SHAQs in ten or so minutes? Could use the extra bodies to help with bursts and just to make them go faster.

I'm camping out in block 32 and sitting on the big white day stage in the lobby, or just whisper Lord Kamina if you're up for it!

Looking at it the wrong way.
Alright, seems it's time for another Nol Vacancy inactive casualty report, as we need to make more space in the team, the affected game IDs are the following:

c-box_sa
ZeroGaia
ShigMan
Triclops
Jehuti
arronaka
Insgenericname
Zerowrath
Zeratanis
Saganomics
RaveKap
Nath2
Bad Parenting
Hideo Kojima
3 Red Seconds
Radicalysmic
Your_Mom
Kiyanis
Dubsteppin
Sovietboat

As always, this game does not give us a clean "last online" stat to look at so we gotta determine long inactives by guesswork, any person on this list is welcome to come back (excluding one person that can't even see this list anymore) if you were accidentally kicked.

And with that, we have plenty of space for goons on Ship 2 to come and join up with us. maybe even bring your friends, too, since we got plenty of space to go around if we need it.

Are weapon camos one time use things, or can you apply a single weapon camo to different weapons? Sorry if this is a dumb question but I tried to look it up and didn't really find an answer.

you equip it like an outfit, and anytime you use a weapon the camo can apply itself to it will appear as the camo instead of what it usually is.

equip a mechgun camo: all mechguns you equip will look like the camo while you have it on.

So is GameGuard throwing up errors every time I start the game going to be a new thing now?

Seems like it detects translated files and flags them- the game still loads up fine, but I'm wondering if this isn't some dragnet to get rid of foreign players
Or it's just GameGuard being GameGuard. Yes it's GameGuard being GameGuard- loaded the game up again and no errors.

Still, :tinfoil:

Things I just noticed about the new launcher PA (according to the video):

- You can move around while shooting it
- It costs 45 PP

Her model in general looks strange.

She was designed by some manga guy who draws his characters with especially weird and kinda gross proportions. I guess they tried to keep the model as close to mangadude's "vision" as possible.

A parfait is a dessert, but it is also the French word for perfect.
So I downloaded this game the other night and finally managed to get the translation patch running through the tweaker. Played a bit, and it seems really fun. Only problem is I keep running into a glitch where my game crashes during the tutorial mission. I get to the third area, walk a few steps, trigger a cutscene (or I assume that's what it is), and the game crashes. Every time I've tried to do this, I've run into this issue. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Any of the patches tend to do that to starting players for whatever the gently caress reason. Try going through the beginning of the game without any patches installed.

Might be an issue with the base files themselves - run a file check and see if anything comes up.
