I unsubbed I think just about the time they announced they were going FTP, I got my rocket launcher, thought that whole addition was sort of silly and unthematic, and figured I'd take time off.

This is actually a pretty good time to get back in to it, since there's a weekend event going on right now (doubled black bullions, free XP potions, free boots & extra referral bonuses).

It's always right around the day you paid for your membership. If you're a lifetimer, it's when you paid for it, or the 11th or 12th if you were already a lifer before they dropped the sub requirement. Ask support if you want to make sure, they can give you the precise date and time.

A "Main mission" is any Investigation, Sabotage, or Action mission. Green (laptop icon), Yellow (bundle of dynamite), and Red (dude running), respectively. Item missions, or "side" missions (box icon), are a blue/green color; you can have up to three of those active at any time. Story missions are the light blue missions and are always active and cannot be abandoned unless you get hosed by some weird bug.

I'm assuming it was one of your ranking missions; just go back to your faction HQ and look for a 'special assignment' mission somewhere near your contact (Geary, Sonnac, Dojang)

"V" will, by default, loot everything in a radius around you.

Are all the crafting phases active still, is that what is going on? Like if I find the crap in my inventory and try and figure out who would best benefit from getting fragments still I can craft at any filth portal? Or are they activating in some order or what?


Or is no one actually going in game to find out?


All three portals are at the craft and turn-in stage right now. If you have more than 1 of each vessel, you can't get more until you're out of your old stack or delete them. You used to get 20 before, but now you only get 1. If you already did the missions back when they were first available, then you won't see the mission again (but you can still turn in the mats for tokens if you want/need them). The whole point, really, is so people can get the credit for the missions so they can get the meta-achievement for that hat.

Yeah it does. It reads like the English one was written first, then translated into Japanese.

Yeah, this is 100% how all the Japanese is in Tokyo. It's super basic stuff. For reference:

Original English:

WHAT IS THE GREAT MESSAGE?
WHAT IS THE GREAT COMING TOGETHER?
You are not your body. You are not your fear. They put those weights on you. They keep you weighted, sedated, and confused. Isn't it time to let go? Isn't it time to soar? Free your potential. See what lies trapped under your fear.
You are made of stars. Fear nothing!


Found the Japanese:

大いなる教えとは?
大いなる団結とは?
あなたとはあなたの体ではない。あなたとはあなたの恐れではない。それらはあなたに重しとして乗しかかる。重みを与え、落ち着かせ、混乱させ続ける。解き放つ時が来たのではありませんか?高く舞い上がる時ではありませんか?あなたの可能性を解き放ちましょう。恐れの下に閉じ込められている偽りを確かめましょう。
あなたは星からできている。恐れなど感じません!

It's technically correct, but it's just a bit too literal.

edit: Apparently it's not very smoothly translated, but still gets the message across (to a native Japanese person, anyway)

Trial codes last 72 hours from your first log-in to the game itself (technically it's when you begin character creation) and I think you can get another 48 hours tacked on if you complete 30 non-tutorial missions during that time. I think.

novaSphere

It's a new parallel-progression gate mechanic that was introduced with Tokyo. All Tokyo enemies have shields (red, purple, blue) that you have to first whittle down with your AEGIS items before you can inflict actual damage to them. You get AEGIS stuff pretty much for just walking in to Tokyo, so don't sweat it until you're actually there.

And the issues are all story content for after you're done with the main story, so you can probably hold off on buying them until you're finished with that.

And even then, issues 8 and onward are the only ones required to continue the story after Mortal Sins. 5, 6, and 7 are all just auxiliary weapons and other missions.

Then there's the side story packs, but that's another matter. Still optional, though.

General consensus is that Illuminati get the best mission flavour text and handler, while Templar get the best faction-specific mission. Dragon get... cryptic messages and stuff, I guess.

The Dragons get dumb fortune cookie responses out of their mission reports, but things change after you're done with Tokyo.

Seriously, Daimon Kyota may very well usurp Geary if the writers can keep up with lines like "I'm your dingle dangler now."

Let's not forget that the other player-voted contest had its own controversy because the original "winning" costume design was disqualified because the artist worked "for an affiliate". That's why we ended up with the stupid Ballistic Veil outfit.

I suggest getting Further Analysis so you can do Immersion, which is a mission that lets you then skip scenarios by paying an NPC in Venice 1mill PAX. Scenarios are still handy for augments but that's about it. They suck to grind.
