Question for those who've got in: if you update your old character to the NGS models as part of the new character creation, do you revert to the PSO2 model when you go back to PSO2, or is it a one-way change? Would still like to keep access to old clothes for fashion's sake if nothing else.

Splash Attack posted:so if i already linked my pso2 account back when it finally came out on stream, i don't have anything to worry about? Correct. It doesn't matter if you use MS Store or Steam. Your account is linked and will load regardless of storefront. It is only for people launching the game on Steam for the first time if they previously played elsewhere.

When does the prologue end / when can I play with friends? And what the heck is with this PSE burst quest? The meter empties way too fast. e: Managed to get the PSE burst, that felt...confusing. Don't really get why the meter was sometimes going down. Oxyclean fucked around with this message at 02:00 on Jun 10, 2021 |

Has anyone figured out how to get their Mag to scan for the skill-point dungeons and stuff yet? Everything I've found I've basically stumbled into by accident.

I'm more or less entirely new to PSO stuff, but I've heard lots of horror stories about having to precisely spec Mags and stuff from PSO2. Is that stuff a little less of a pain now?

Mags are purely cosmetic so that one is gone. Race and gender no longer affect stats so that's gone. You still have to use rare items to reset your skill trees, but the skill trees have less trap choices now so that's better.

Rockstar Massacre posted:i have 120000 space bucks and i haven't even looked at a shop yet Spend the space bucks on cosmetics before the prices on them spike. Granted, hair and eyes are high, but outfit tickets are cheap as gently caress. Buying old outit consumable tickets is like buying stonks, the price can only go up once the supply is cut off. I do wonder how they're going to distribute stuff that generally had low value, like certain accessories and most room furnishings (are rooms even a thing in new genesis?). If they throw all those things into AC scratch then that severely dilutes the value of an AC scratcher, or drives up the price of some of the less "valuable" cosmetics. orange juche fucked around with this message at 05:38 on Jun 10, 2021 |

Okay, a lot of questions - Preface - I played PSO2 for a few months during US launch. I made it through episode 2. Then got bored. Didn't go back. Did spend probably too much money on scratch tickets. Have a mountain of meseta and SP and casino points and all that poo poo. 1 - Will base PSO2 ever see another update or is it just a museum at this point? 2 - When you transfer a character to NGS, it's not so much a transfer, but a link right? Lets say I start playing the character in NGS, then I go back to base PSO2 and make progress and get some stuff, will my NGS character also have the stuff or is it a one time copy/transfer? I guess the way I assumed was: PSO2 cosmetics unlock for both, NGS cosmetics unlock for NGS only. Unless it's more of a "Unlock for one, unlock for both" sort of thing. I assumed all currencies were separate to their respective games. 3 - If I remember correctly, I had a mountain of meseta when I quit PSO2. Is there anything I could spend it on in PSO2 that would be beneficial to me in NGS? Are there any other things I can spend my other PSO2 currencies that would be of any value/worth in NGS? 4 - Is there a casino? I probably spend 80% of my time in PSO2 in the casino, if not more. I watched the entire series of PSO2 Episode Oracle while playing Arkuma Slots. 5 - How much story is there in NGS? Is it about equal to a single episode of PSO2? 6 - Why do they have to make things so loving complicated and convoluted.

Can you upgrade your old character in PS02 to the new features and options in the character creator in New Genesis? I can't figure out how if you can

You'll have to tweak it of course, my poor caseal had a hank hill rear end.

If you don't like the gross anime faces or the weird robot body parts, you can create a CAST with a robot head and a human body with the standard outfit

My current main quest is to get to 950 power level. I've done all the obvious side quests, but am still 20 or so short. Is it just a matter of grinding mobs for levels and items to use for upgrading my current stuff? What else is there to actually do?

Would still like to keep access to old clothes for fashion's sake if nothing else. You're never locked out of anything. You get the hd NGS models if you wear NGS cosmetics. You revert to the old PSO2 model whenever you put on old PSO2 clothes or CAST parts. This is also how it works for male and female bodies now -- anyone can equip outfits that were previously gender-locked, and your character's body will change to fit them while they're on.

Skill points in both your main and subclass count a lot, so you can go exploring for cocoons or towers to make up that deficit. Augments on your gear also kind of matter. You probably have a billion lovely augment capsules with stuff like +5 hp or 25% chance to avoid poison status, just fill all your augment slots with something (except on gear you plan to ditch soon) . But yeah getting your weapons to +10 or +20 will help a lot too.

Can I get rid of all the casts parts and outfits in my storage yet? I am seriously out of space and looking at NGS with fear since it doesn’t have separate storage.

Mordiceius posted:Okay, a lot of questions - 2 - It's a link; the bank storage is shared across both games, gear from PSO2-classic simply has different stats while in NGS, and you cannot use PSO2-classic gear in the NGS item lab. Cosmetics are actively shared across both games, but sadly item-based cosmetics (pre-NGS outfits, pre-NGS suits, pre-NGS [ou]terwear) have to be in that game's character inventory to use. 3 - you could buy an 8-slot 14⭐ weapon in PSO2-classic, and if you had a mountain of Photon Boosters from the days of Advanced Quest grinding, get EXP Weapon Minis from the Photon Booster exchange lady on the 2nd floor of the shops area to upgrade it to +35, which then when you log into NGS, it will become a 3⭐ weapon equip-able at level 10. You shouldn't need to have to mess with the augments on the weapon you buy, simply having 8 slots should make it do enough things that it'd save you the trouble of having to use NGS resources to upgrade an NGS weapon to a similar level. 4 - no casino yet, but it is probably a safe bet that there will be one eventually. 5 - no. It's closer to maybe a couple chapters worth, which is technically more than the single chapter PSO2 launched with back in 2012. Phantasy Star Crew has been doing dripfeed content since Phantasy Star Universe, which has largely been decent for them from a workload standpoint I guess, if they've continued doing it for this long anyway. 6 - :pscrew:

PSO2 CAST parts remain items, but NGS CAST parts are now tickets if you want to throw anything away, unless you’re actively planning on continuing to play PSO2, it’s pretty safe to toss poo poo like boosters, Su candy box items, crafting supplies, Franca request items and gathered items, since none of those will ever be used in NGS, and the effectiveness of PSO2 equipment falls off hard once you can get 4* NGS stuff, so that’ll be worth liquidating too

IDK if original PSO2 works like this, but my Gunner became a lot easier to play when I realized you can press Z to switch to a direct aiming mode. The game never mentions this, as far as I can tell.

Surprised the servers are still completely hosed, but at least sometimes it makes the bosses stick in their downed state for so long that by the time the lag ends it just dies.

If anyone else is struggling to hit the 950 PL for the MSQ, make sure you spend your class points on your sub class and buy a 3* weapon from the AH. That was enough to bump me up. EDIT: Ahhhhh! Everyone woke up and the servers are lovely again

When I started a new character it auto-put me on Ship 3 and said I'd get to select a permanent ship later. I'm now out of the initial tutorial zone for a while and this hasn't happened. Did I misread a translation?
