I'm not sure how practical it would be though, since it would be so ridiculously expensive. edit: me with my katana right now looks more or less like this, which does seem to be reflecting how much damage I do per normal hit.  For comparison, a high rarity un-extended weapon with the same attack power (not that I have one or could equip one) would be like this:

Samurai Sanders posted:According to this, the penalty to damage clustering for extending rare weapons goes away after extend level 9. Is that for real? I believe they recently reduced the penalty for extensions that require silva materials. And if you're gonna extend a weapon for long term use going all the way would probably be best. Though obviously there's a point where you should probably stop crafting yourself and just get someone else to do it for you.

Is the English patch playable? Assuming I can get in past the ip block, I'm tired of waiting for any news on a western release so I'm really wanting to give it a shot.

Samurai Sanders posted:Well, I've been doing the daily crafts basically every day so my character is pretty good at it now. Given that, is there a reason why I would want someone else to do it instead? Surely it wouldn't be cheaper to ask someone else to do it rather than myself. Eventually you have to do high level crafts over and over to unlock the highest levels and those are several hundred-thousand meseta per craft. It gets expensive very fast.

drat, I got in trouble with my team. At some point the login announcement "only use team points to grow the photon tree" turned into "don't use team points without authorization" and I didn't notice. As I was apologizing to my teammates, I started to think that this is felt uncomfortably similar to screwing up at work.

Ah, that's always a horrible feeling. Still, so long as you apologized and whatnot I wouldn't worry too much. Just make sure to do your team COs to make up for it

When I started playing I joined some team that looked big and powerful, but it turns out almost all the managers had been asleep at the switch for some time, and everyone was just doing their own thing. One of them broke off and formed a new team (which I joined), and all members of the previous team were given manager status automatically. I guess I shouldn't have done anything with it until I knew what was going on. I'm sure this is all general MMO stuff but this is my first experience with such things.

Yeah, I finished my gunslash last night: ex 12  Crafted it myself up to lvl 6, then searched for crafters through the Visiboard after.I figure, to fully craft a 7-9* at least, to run about 1.5 to 2 million. Final price is really dependent on how much materials you have on hand. Silvania is p cheap, though. And you only need about 40 to go from 9 to 12. Still, the final result is nice. What started as a crappy, but cool looking weapon is something that's comparable to a high end 11* or even Celesta Laser. Shame it has no potential, though.

Is there any way to update the game without using the tweaker or the official launcher? I had to redownload the entire game recently so now I need to update it from there, but the tweaker keeps making GBS threads itself once it gets to around 3gb, and updating using the official launcher seems like it would take months to download due to having to use a vpn.

No. Also, updating through the launcher isn't that bad. It's actually fairly viable and you only need the VPN to access the servers. When it begins downloading you would be able to kill the VPN and continue on downloading.

I believe on the Tweaker website there's a torrent link to a setup file. The game will update from that once you have the tweaker installed, too.

NextTime000 posted:pso2-download: an extremely minimalist alternative for updating, patching, and launching PSO2. Does not install the game though. I haven't used it so I am not sure how good it is. The guy who made this is also responsible for methods used for the item translation patch and the "new method" of installing the Story Patch, which boasts the ability to never need a "compatibility update" when the game updates. Also before anyone asks if this guy is alright he also worked on some of the "Tales of" translation patches with someone else here on SA, who when I asked vouched for him.

Today is the last day of the 10% grind and affix boosts, so try to get those last-minute +40s! Since transferring affixes are going to be much easier in two weeks, it is better to just focus on expanding the slots of your favorite items since those odds should not be changing any time soon. http://www.bumped.org/psublog/pso2-jp-ceremonial-update-2014/ The next two weeks involves the return of last year's coast limited quest in emergency quest form, the third ARKS GP, Theodore's dewman outfit, Neo Magashi and Neo Lou parts, and some other things maybe.

I'm not sure it was actually confirmed that the slot expansion rate caps would remain the same. It was confirmed that affix transfer caps would remain unchanged, at least when fusing them. The below image is all the proof we have that I'm aware of.

Oh, some good interface improvements - divide friends into groups - equip accessories outside of the aesthe shop - downed players' locations are shown on the map By the way, is there some reason there are so few weapon camouflage items? Was that a function that was more or less abandoned sometime in the past?

They still do make camo items, just it's not priority. Hell, even one of the upcoming items from Nyau is a weapon camo item.

http://www.bumped.org/psublog/ultimate-quests-and-yuruyuri-are-coming-to-phantasy-star-online-2/ Details for the update have been posted: Enemies in XH can drop items with the "Ultimate Buster"(current name) ability, which boosts damage to enemies in ultimate quests The level cap goes up to 75, but instead of overflow EXP turning into EX cubes, they now give you a class-named EX cube; "These class based EXCubes are used to acquire skill point rewards from class trainer NPCs like Risa, Marlu, or Ohza." so either you can break the game horribly now by getting All of the Skill Points or there will be a low cap (maybe just give you 5 more sp like the COs), causing excess cubes to become worthless and start taking up to 8 inventory slots (one stack per class) New PAs for Boots, Swords, Knuckles, Launchers, and Bows. The new Tech Zandion is a Wind/Lightning hybrid tech; hybrid techs function like a photon blast, in that it is subpallet-only, and charges up over time by some means. Hybrid techs seem to be Force and Techer main-class only. and more things like 7-9* items will no-longer bind on equip, currently bound items will not be unbound with this update though.

And yet 10* which are by all means irrelevant in the current endgame likely still need premium in order to purchase.

Blu Ringahdas are hard. At first I thought I was just imagining it, but I checked online and yeah, their rings get more hit points every time you destroy them. I was fighting one in a story mission in episode 2 and dying over and over again since I can't call in anyone else and all I have is Matoi backing me up. ...and then I discovered that the door behind it was just sitting open, so I walked around it and finished the story mission.

Recently the computer that I played PSO2es on died, and I was a dumbass who never saved the transfer code anywhere. I'm trying to fill out a ticket to recover it, but I have no idea what I should put in the section that asks for a description of the issue. Would there happen to be anyone who knows enough Japanese to say something like "I formatted my phone and forgot to save the transfer code" without making it sound too suspicious?

Man, this is event is probably the worst one yet. Even more ridiculously unbalanced ship teams and the only decent bingo rewards locked behind totally random casino nonsense. Yeah, I know what the players of this fast-paced third person brawler want! Slot machines and monotonous shooting minigames! It's optional, but, y'know, why?

Just in case anyone didn't know, they're gonna be rotating out the Ginna-Gam triggers from the casino rewards next update. So if you still really need the units get one now while you still can.

I'm still not sure why I should be bothering with the casino at all. None of the rewards look enticing at all, but maybe I am just not looking at them right. Oh, by the way, what's with the weapons/units you could exchange excubes or photon spheres for? It looks completely ordinary to me, but maybe I am misunderstanding something.

Well you see, you buy the 10* Excube weapons that are completely inferior to 11+* drops, and then you convert them to an Excube But seriously, maybe look 'em up on Cirnopedia, they might have some kind of cool hidden skill or something.

I don't know what the 1-slot Power/tech/shoot III gunslashes or units are for; those abilities are often too much of a hassle to stick on that early. and I REALLY don't have a clue about what the photon collect units are even for

Photon Collect also boosts the chance for resistance affixes. Anyway, I hope the rewards for Casino stuff remain universally bad so I don't ever feel like I'm missing out by ignoring it. I kinda get the feeling it's intended as a way to keep people at net cafes in game and racking up hourly fees. Maybe that's cynical, but it'd hardly be the worst thing a F2P game has ever done.

Okay Reverse Bonus is pretty rad, nice quality of life thing as long as it's only a one point skill. A bit sad that the King Yede wand I spent too much money on won't be as useful in the new ultimate quest but whatever, wand supremacy.
