I've gotten back into this after playing back in open beta- it's seen a lot of improvements since then (though some of the client orders are still super grindy, but oh well)

Do the Japanese players on Block 2 mind having so many round-eyed barbarians in their game? :v: I keep having flashbacks of FFXI where many of them seemed allergic to even being in the general vicinity of english players (although I did meet more than enough that were friendly! :unsmith:)

All in all, just having fun playing a space elf warrior-mage (gently caress optimal builds!)

VVVV Well, that is a given. I hated the idiots in PSU who spammed shouts constantly.

I'd love for Beasts to make a return in PSO2, but I'm happy with my space elf.

The invincibility blast for beasts was, IMHO, the only one worth taking. You could still die if you used the other ones- but with the blue one, you just had to run in and start wailing away until it wore off.

I think you can still select my name in the team list and choose Go To Room.

Not only is there a nearly full set of instruments, but you can also relax to the soothing sounds of a dozen washing machines quietly rumbling.

Oh, if anyone is wondering how some of those crazy detailed Symbol Arts are made, I found this little thing.

I don't know how it works exactly, since I'm not at home- but the general gist seems to be it adds an overlay of an image you can trace the SA objects with.

Figure this out and a whole slew of frog and dog emotes will flow forth! :woop:

Yeah, GameGuard is the worst. Although I discovered, at least with my G13 and G600 mouse, that they will work if I stick to the default profile. So I just configured the default to PSO2 :v: I find the mouse + G13 is much easier to Ranger with than the 360 controller, so I actually enjoy playing my Ranger now :unsmith:

One other thing worth mentioning for those that don't check Bumped/the official site often: "a new boost event for the Beach Wars Emergency Quest will increase the rare enemy appearance rate by 50% from now until August 18th @ 24:00 JST." So now will likely be a really good time to get level 11+ versions of Sacred Skewer and Backhand Smash. Neither of them have a 10->11 jump but oh well. Maybe the rare flower lizard will be capable of spawning in PSE Bursts and then it will be A Good EQ. I only ever saw Org Blan and a Zeshrayda, has anyone seen any other bosses there?

Would it be possible for us ship 2 goons to organise an EQ run on an underused block and just :goon: the map in the hopes of clearing it and then farming it to our hearts content?

Of course, it all depends on what time the EQ is scheduled at.

Yeah, at first I was all "Wait, so I will lose boost time while preparing?" But when it was explained to me that it's only while the quest is active, it's not so bad- since I enter asap, it won't really effect me. Well, perhaps a couple of seconds on the first run when I'm getting everything ready.

It's more utility than it seems, but.. yeah. It's better with max gear, but sword gear is really terrible and needs a hefty adjustment to its gain/decay.

Being said, it is a decent PA string opener.

Yeah, GB is pretty good for getting into the fight. Start it from mid-air for mad air dashes.

Also a shame about sword gear. If it could charge up from PA hits, it'd be a start. Fixing the decay would be better. I dropped it,
cause in MPAs you'll never get more that 1/5 a bar and :laffo: at meleeing with normal attacks when everything dies so fast.

Is there a lobby other than 20 where english speakers congregate? Because Jesus gently caress, the assortment of pedophiles and ERPer weeaboos in 20 would make starfleet dental collectively break out in hives. I would pay Sega good money just to give me a fire extinguisher that could be used in the lobby. There's a full-time game just in hosing down anyone who yells any variant of, "I am senpai's slave kawaii desu!"

That is 90% of the English community right there.

Blu isn't too bad. Just that stupid one shot dual cyclone attack it does. If you're caught off guard, kiss your rear end goodbye.

Dark Ragnes- Because those stupid leg swipes, combined with the energy geysers, means I can get clipped at the worst times. Also because the legs have an annoying tendency to cancel lock-on if they move out of the screen for even a fraction of a second. And since Ragne is so big, that happens a lot :tizzy: Focus Shunka on a leg would be so much easier if I could maintain a lock on.

Dragonkin- So many Amduscia TACOs have instilled a burning hatred of these little fuckers. "I am help kill darker. Ooops I kill u :downs:"

Dagash- gently caress these guys. Especially when they're in packs. Suddenly, fish flying in from all corners of your peripheral to kill you.

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:

Well, from what I've gathered, ilbarta stacks up to seven times. The first four casts increase at a small scale, then the fifth starts at 400%, then the seventh and last is at an 800% modifier, whereupon the count starts all over again.

Of course, multiple people casting it speeds up this count, although it can be done solo.

I guess this is how Sega fixes ice techs- by releasing a stupidly powerful tech :v:
