Are we good now?

Should contain answers to common questions and all the info you need to start playing.

Good, it's bumping now.

When are the servers supposed to come back online?

In less than 1 hour

gah

posting again for invite

bump

>Good, it's bumping now.
>bumb

go back to /vg/ all of you

I don't get why other threads with links in the OP work fine.. sheez.

Would love an invite

>>8892902
I have no idea either, like I said earlier it started happening to our Comiket threads and nobody could figure out why.

sticky this thread plz

Success
Also, if you want to add this to the pastebin:
>Q. When I try to register it says I need a Japanese enabled browser.
Chrome: Wrench Icon > Settings > Under the Hood > Language and Spell Checker > Add > Japanese

Do you have to be online to receive a guild invite? I'll ask for one when I wake up.

Anyone giving out invites?

Is this pretty much unplayable if you don't know Japanese?

Are invites hard to get?

>>8892922
>>8892911
Sent, saving my last one for a friend of mine.

>>8892925
>Is this pretty much unplayable if you don't know Japanese?

Not at all. There's an English interface patch. I'm playing it without knowing moon and not having too much trouble.

>>8892925
There's apartial english patch, check the pastebin for link

>>8892915
Added, I like how you can just edit pastebin so easily.

>>8892925
There's a partial English patch. Gameplay is a piece of cake, as is leveling/building if you use the links provided. Only some quests are confusing, but you can ask guildies for help if you need it.

For those asking for invites, you may want to wait for a few hours, when people start coming on. Not to mention when the servers are up.

>>8892915
Accept it? Yes, receive the invite..not sure. Game holds requests and the like for you even when you are offline, so it may be possible.

>>8892941

Thank you very much! Also is /jp/ on ship 4 like everyone else?

>>8892963
Different block though, we're in block 42

Notes for people having crashes:
If you crash upon trying to create a character, turn the graphics settings down to minimum in the launcher.

If you're getting random/frequent crashes and are using windows Aero, disable it.

Might want to add this to the pastebin.

>>8892966
Ok, I'll see if I'll have it after the maintenance.

>>8892973
Done.

>>8892966
Ah, I've been frequenting Block 4, was wondering why so few people were there.

Server is up

Would like and invite, please and thank you!

Updated the names of those with guild invite powers.

>>8893040
Forgot my email!
Sorry, a little excited,

>>8893053
Sent.

Anyone figure out what the options you get when selecting a mission are about? Like the 1 - 20 stuff.

Once game felt like dropping city siege boss in the middle of the forest map.

>>8893068
Heartfelt thanks, comrade.

i keep getting skipped over for some reason.

i'd really appreciate an invite if you can spare one please!

>>8893081
Sent, and I'm out of invites.

Every time after maintenance, there is a HUGE lag. Don't know if it is cause of the influx of players or cause they borked something during maintenance.

>>8893086

thanks so much

>>8893081
sent!

May have an invite please?

Thank you.

>>8893116
I*

man trying to get this going is a bitch. these sites are loading slow as shit. and then trying to make my sega id it kept timing out or something and wasn't going through. i guess it finally did though, because i got the email saying my sega id was created, but now trying to put it in on the site so i can dl the client and it's saying my account doesn't exist.

>>8893186

Write your SEGAID username all in lowercase.

>>8893197

i am. it's all in lowercase anyway.

i'm getting "failed to authenticate sega id"

is it possible that it hasn't gone through yet or something? like i should just wait a little bit?

>>8893208

i just tried putting in a wrong password to see what i would get

and it says this

Failed to authenticate SEGA ID.
Please review and reconnect or re-enter the password SEGA ID.

but when i put it in the right password i'm getting this

Failed to authenticate SEGA ID.
Can not be closed β test to join us in this SEGA ID.

>>8893217
You're trying to log into the CB without using the invite code to authenticate your ID first.

>>8893225

oh shit thanks

>>8893230

already encountered another problem

how am i supposed to put the moonrunes in the verification?

>>8893239
If you can't type the characters, go here and copy and paste them individually.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katakana

Character was entered does not match the image authentication and.
Please try again from the beginning.

jesus christ. this might take a while.

Wait, they're using an invite system?
Do you need anything other than a segaid?

send me an invite, niggers.

>>8893245
Updated the pastebin with some more info and a character list for the verification.

>>8893280
The client too obviously.

We should have our PSO2 threads in Japanese to stop all the illegals from /vg/ crossing the border.

>>8893280
The Sega ID at first, and then you log in on the PSO2 CB page and it'll ask you for your invite key which is a string of like 10 or 15 numbers.

>>8893284
Well that's just plain rude.

>>8893291
But how would that help? They are playing a game that's in Japanese.

could someone please send a code?

can someone tell me what i'm supposed to do here

>>8893327
It's asking for your authentication code I think? Use Bablefish or something if you're unsure.

>>8893339

yea that's what i figured but i overlooked the invitation code in the email and wasn't sure where i was supposed to find it

Would like to be invited to the guild, but cant find any of the ones on the pastebin in block 42, are they off?

>>8893358
乃画 is on, add him as a friend or just post your name here and wait at the block 42 lobby and I'll let him know.

>>8893367
Ok, my name is Yuu. Just hanging around the chairs.

>>8893372
I'm hanging out with you, ayaya.

The lag tonight is pretty bad it seems, 630 error everywhere.

Yuu here, I guess I'm done for today. I'll play again sometime later.

How do you guys like the game so far?

>>8893459
It's fun when it's not lagging.

Can someone send me an invite? Thanks!

Hope I'm not too late for an invite if anyone has one. Didn't realize it started already and I never got one.

Every time I try to talk to Shion after doing those orange matter board quests, I get this, what is wrong? I tried changing my resolution & getting out of fullscreen & changing video codecs to see if anything worked, none did.

>>8893604
A glitch with the game supposedly, you're not supposed to talk to her by clicking, it's supposed to trigger a cutscene.
It's also possible, but unlikely, that the latest version of the English patch is causing it, you could try reverting to an older version or just removing it entirely and see if that works.

Invite
Pls and Thanks

>>8893614
> you're not supposed to talk to her by clicking, it's supposed to trigger a cutscene
Am I supposed to approach her and wait for the cutscene to happen instead of clicking her?

>>8893614
Not clicking on her worked, thank you.

>>8893628
Should be automatic, like the first time you meet her. You could try waiting I suppose? There's more info on this glitch on the English patch thread, page 7 or 8 I think.

>>8893637
>There's more info on this glitch on the English patch thread, page 7 or 8 I think.
Thanks, gonna go reading up on this to see if ther is a chance of it happening anytime in the future.

I just finished making my SEGA ID. Now all I need is an invite. Thanks in advance.

Error 601, you are the bane of mine existence.

>finish making waifu
>begin tutorial
>game crash
>601

So I finished the first material board. When the second one is supposed to show up, if it exists at all?

>>8893855
It doesn't. Not in this beta atleast.

rate my waifu

can i get an invite too?

is this playable with a standard NA IP address, e.g. no VPN?

>Not Infinity

Not interested; Get back to me when it's a game with some actual single player content.

>>8894205
Yep. There's nothing in place to block us gaijin yet.

So, uh. Can hunters actually use magic? I know a bunch, and if it's possible I can't seem to figure out how. Trying to assign stuff to the hotkey bar claims I have no skills.

>>8894252
Pretty sure they can't, but you can change your class at the skill tree guy, so that would be why you're able to use Force disks.

>>8894267
Figured. I kind of wish they hadn't changed that, I used to use a notable amount of magic (healing, buffs, even attack spells for flying things) in the original PSO on my human hunter and was going to do the same here.

Just another bored individual looking for an invite.

Looks like they have shuffled a bunch of content around for the CBT, after alpha.

Some high end weapons are missing (there was a winged staff for FO in the alpha with the same level cap, it doesn't show up here now), and a doom tentacle ball boss in the forest that probably isn't in (or it's locked behind quests that I can't read properly and find).

Can't fucking wait for OBT and L30 cap.

>>8894285
I can send you one if someone links to the area where I input your email.

>>8894362

Sent.

>>8893722
>>8894180
Anyone has invites for those 2 guys?

>>8894525
I sent all three of mine or I would.

It's nice seeing the patch get updated more and more every day.

Still waiting for an invite if there are still open ones

I am thinking to play.... But I don't know, seems so hard to download, register, get an invite, play, and all that stuff....

Anyone know what to do for Josef's quest here? I know you have to use the specified weapon type, but that doesn't seem to be enough.

>>8894920

you need to complete the mission within 20 minutes.

>>8894971
Ah, right. Can't believe I missed that.

Friendly reminder: You guys that are getting invites, you can also send 3 yourself. Check @ https://ssl.pso2.jp/cbtinvite/form/

Any invites left?

I'm still hoping that I could get an invite.

>>8895376
>posting that picture

Fuck you. I hope you eat shit and die you fucking piece of shit.

Why does Sega hate us?

I would like very much too an invite >:

Thanks fellow friends =3

>>8895376
>>8894828
Sent my last 2 invites to you guys. Share yours out.

>>8895376

There's story behind that picture?

Do explain wise Anons

>>8895403
B-But I like Nagisa! What's wrong with posting her pictures!?

>>8895440
Because we'll never see her or one of the best Phantasy Star games in existence overseas.

Ever.
Unless people start up a petition or something. But we're too busy killing each other.

>>8895441
Yeah. Essentially Sega released an improved version of PSP2 with a fuckton of PSO characters and bosses. Put the overseas port was snubbed in favor of sanic.

Pic related; it's an unlockable Partner Character you may have heard of.

>>8895438
Thanks.

>>8895452
To be fair, if they do localized it, they'll probably skip all the DLC items and remove the voices. So even if they do, it'll still be a butchered-up version.

>>8895493
We would get some DLC items, like we did last time.
Most of them were pretty shitty anyways. And why on earth would they not even do the voices?

My point being that we're most likely missing out on the biggest, longest-lasting RPG on the PSP.

>>8895493
Could I get one of the invites you get after signing up?

>>8895518
I'm having trouble logging in right now for some reason. I'll gladly give you one when I find out the problem.

>>8895565
Did you authenticate your SEGA ID using the invite code from the e-mail?
Are you using all lowercase for your SEGA ID?

>>8895047
This, you can get the ball rolling by helping out and sending your invites, its an exponential growth in potential invites so theres no way /jp/ could possibly run out of them if they're even somewhat self contained. Send a couple out, keep one for another friend you have online, he'll get three and you can have him email two of your other friends you wanted in, etc etc.

Also anybody get the random lag where the entire world distorts and looks like i'm trying to play the game through VLC?

>>8894892
the harder it takes to get in, the more satisfying the actual process becomes. Besides, you don't even need to think up of proper japanese address now.

>>8893722
>>8894180
to those with spare invites, those 2 didn't get any either.

What the hell!? Is there some other necessary step I need after making an account? I can't seem to log-in. I already reset my password just in case I typed it wrong but I still can't log in.

>We would get some DLC items, like we did last time.
But we didn't get any DLC items. Items that you can only get from DLC mission doesn't count since they are already in-game to begin with. Also, they didn't even release the DLC missions outside JPN so we were only lucky that the JPN DLC mission for PSP2 were compatible with the US game.

>And why on earth would they not even do the voices?
Did you skip out on PSP2? They removed all the voices and only dubbed the video cutscenes.

how do i trade or give away my old items?

>Did you authenticate your SEGA ID using the invite code from the e-mail?
Oh silly me. I thought I need to log-in first before I could do that.

>>8895675
But the voices were still there. There's not that many JRPGs that have voices for literally every line of dialogue in the game.
And yes those were DLC items. They were transferred as in-game items for the western release.

And the DLC missions were on there. In english, too. Toro and Koro were even there. But Sega didn't finish them and just left them on there.

>>8895654
Yeah I think it's engine compensation for low frame rate. There's a couple spots in the lobby where I can't stand around idle because it goes into VLC mode and I get 2 fps.

How do I correctly use this card weapon that forces have?

>>8895738

Put a spell in the other weapon slots. Throw card, trigger spell. Best used with a self target AoE spell.

>>8895738
I mainly used it to heal people at range during boss fights.

>>8895518
After spending 6 tries in that japanese captcha dilemma, I finally managed to log-in and have sent you an invite.

Can i get an invite too?

>>8895870
Thank you!
>>8895970
I'll send you one as soon as I get logged in.

wait ship 4 block 42?
god damn it, i'm pissed you can't move characters between ships like in PSO!
i'm on ship 2, cause people from pso-world are there at block 20

Could I, too, get an invite?

Holy shit, I was getting excited for a moment there. It switched back to normal after a minute or so.

I would love anybody who gave me an invite forever, I played PSO Ep. I&II on both the dreamcast and gamecube wasting thousands on thousands of hours of my teenage life. Hell, my clan is still together and we talk from time to time 10 years later. I will never leave you.

Is there anyone online right now thats in the guild?

>>8896228
Kaguya can invite. Try messaging him.

>>8896196
I just sent you my last invitation.

Also, if you can, invite this guy >>8896057

>>8896228
Or just post your name and come to block 42's lobby, we're there now.

i see a lot of people asking for guilds...is getting in a guild necessary? i was hoping i could just get on and play by myself.

>>8896290
It's not necessary. You can make a party with NPCs.

I'd really appreciate an invite to play with you guys too.

>>8896278
Will do once I get everything set up! Many thanks~

>>8896280
I'll be the guy in all blue. I'm at the lobby now near the quest NPC.

>>8895998
thanks.

>>8896316
Can you send me one too? ;_;

Aw man, could anyone send me an invite?

>>8896313
>>8896057
Both sent out!

Someone feel like adding me to the guild? I'm in the lobby, character name Aria.

>>8896378
Thanks

What's the limit of guild member anyway?

I'm in the lobby, character name Jai
would like a ginvite
I added Kritz but he never added me

Could I get an invite, please? Thank you.

Are you in block 42?

>>8896506

Last invite sent

Hi may I get an invite pls ;_;

>>8896561
Thanks a ton.

Could someone spare an invite?

anyone know what the problem here is? i get it after trying to log in.

It's asking you to set a player ID.

>>8896568

also whats the deal with the english patch. all of this shit is definitely still in japanese.

Anyone still have invites? It would be greatly appreciated.

>>8896619
Thank you~

jesus christ trying to get this game going has been the most arduous fucking process. it's like every time i get just a little bit closer to playing the game i get fucking shut down again. here's my newest obstacle. anyone know how the fuck i can fix this?

So how do I actually send my invites out?

>>8896665
check the pastebin links
https://ssl.pso2.jp/cbtinvite/form/

>>8896622
There's a lot of stuff in english. Did you put the files in the right spot?

>>8896688

SEGA/PHANTASYSTARONLINE2/pso2_bin/data/win32

that's where i put them. just to clarify i haven't actually gotten into the game yet, i was referring to the screens you have to navigate through before you actually log in to the game with a character.

Can I get an invite?

hey guys, how do you take screenshots? you just press print screen, right? what folder does it save in?

>>8896767
My Documents -> Sega

What does "Expand skill tree" do exactly?

I picked it out of curiosity earlier and it seems like now I have two skill trees that have identical skills in them (although I can choose to level them differently).

Also does everyone just get 1000 AC for testing purposes? (I assume these are cash points?)

>>8896773

thanks, but it's weird. all the screenshots I took from the Character Creator are there, but none of the ones I took from the actual beta are there. how strange.

>>8896642
sent.

and i'm out of invites.

>>8896822
Thanks. I'll send an invite over to >>8896736 once I can.

Maintenance for the next 3 hours.

>>8894316
This one? Because this sandraker has it.

Also if anyone has the クシャネビュラ Wlance with an element and feels like being nice I'd love one. I plan to grind the shit out of it

Also I manage the PEBm1AMj pastebin, if you have any suggestions on things I should change/fix feel free to tell me. You guys know more moon than /vg/

>>8897464
Am I the only one that thinks it's weird that they do maintenance at 2 pm Japan Time every day? It seems like doing it early morning would make more sense.

The /vg/ thread is fucking awful, glad we are on separate block from them

>>8897484
Why are you trying to stir up shit? There's nothing particularly wrong with the /vg/ thread, it's way more informative than this one.

>>8897484
It gets pretty much no posts but begging for invites while the game is up. Then when it's down we talk about the game or making jokes. I don't see how that's awful, this thread is the same but smaller.

>>8897502
Do /vg/ always that tolerable with emoticons?

>>8897512
emoticons?

Did you go to ship 2 by accident

>>8897512
>>8897505
>>8897502
>>8897484
Why don't we actually discuss the game instead?

For example, what weapons/skills do you guys like using?

I've been using a sword and the skill where you stick your sword into the enemy and throw them around.

>>8897525
Wlances

Other Cyclone for mobs and hitting high up boss weaknesses.
Izuna drop for single enemies and Cater tails

>>8897525
I just got sword throw and have been spamming it like mad.

>>8897525
I shit my pants when I equipped the first bazooka I got at level 4. Turreting with them is awesome.

I also like the starting gunblade ability, where you slash them up into the air, mostly because it incapacitates enemies for a long time.

Does Diffusion Shot (shotgun blast) get any better? Seems useless except at melee range, at which point it still only does as much damage as Piercing Shot.

I'm only level 6, though.

>>8897574
>I also like the starting gunblade ability, where you slash them up into the air, mostly because it incapacitates enemies for a long time.

I love that, but the only gunblade I have has like 100 or so less attack than my sword. Haven't been able to find a better one ever.

>>8897574
I'm not sure if that one stuns but I believe there is another gunblade ability that can stun. There's also a Wlance once but you're a RA.
>>8897580
If you're a HU I have tons of spare discs in storage to give out. Jump on block 44 and find Momoyo after maintenance. Most of them are level 4/5 though so I dunno if you'll have the S-atk right away.

>>8897525
Feathery thing that behaves like the dueldiscs in yugioh, remote casting Gizonde every few shots for standard enemies, or Rabarta for larger enemies. If I need to deal more damage quickly, I'll switch to my gunblade and spam that skill that fires a shot and then detonates it for AoE damage, but I'm pretty squishy so it's generally better to keep using the dueldisc thing so I can heal myself.

>>8897602
I am indeed a hunter. And that would be pretty cool, though I'm very likely going to be asleep before maint ends.

>>8897614
Oh well just find me sometime tomorrow.

Also for anyone wanting to run the game in borderless windowed mode

Go into documents/SEGA/PHANTASYSTARONLINE2 and open user_beta.pso2 in notepad
Scroll down to the bottom
find Windows = {
FullScreen = false,
Height3d = 480,
Height = 1080,
Width3d = 640,
Width = 1920,

Add VirtualFullScreen = true, so it looks like

Windows = {
FullScreen = false,
Height3d = 480,
Height = 1080,
VirtualFullScreen = true,
Width3d = 640,
Width = 1920,

>>8897525
Too much of a swordfag here ended up loving the ranged skill for it that throws and energy disc too much. Second in line would be the spear spin AoE.

Though I still need more spear skills...

Still haven't seen the higher level staff (right side middle) around, nor in the loot list on the counter either. Weird stuff. Guess they decided it looked too cool for level 20s to have. Along with the no rare guns or staves.

Anyone ran into the tentacle demon ball in the forest yet? Or the huge shield guys that are weak to lightning and immune to frontal damage?

Would greatly appreciate it if i could get a beta invite and keep the ball rolling

I would also greatly appreciate an invite, assuming there's anyone left in this thread to help out.

I wake up to a maintenance, bugger.

>>8897475
Great guide BTW, thanks for making it.

I have some invites to hand out, at least I think I do, I haven't handed any out previously.
What's the page for invite handing? I had it before but lost it due to cache cleaning.
I'll give you an invite if you want or something.

>>8898076
It's listen in the pastebin on the second post.

>>8898083
Oh, didn't notice it, thank you.

>>8897619
This just made it launch in fullscreen.

If anyone has one left, i would love to get an invite.

>>8898291

Sent. That was my last one.

Much Appreciated!

Read.

Could I get an invite too, please?

oh shit, I'd like an invite if possible.
How's the game anyway? It looks incredibly fun but I can't tell much from just fiddling with the character creator and watching a few videos.

May I get an invite?
Just finished assembling my new computer so I'm kinda late to the party.

Can't wait till PSO2 actually comes out so I can dick around on it at my own leisure at 30 fps on low in 800x600.

>>8898227
The game locks the mouse normally. In any situation where you can freely use the mouse you can move it out of the window.

Somebody said 'invites'? Can I have one?

>>8898429

It's lot like pso, but better overall in every area.

>>8898429
Person who barely played PSO1 there.
Personally I don't think "fun" is a good way to describe the game to others.
Its very well thought-out, yet you can't see it just from images.
There is an awful lot of details:

Map is consisting of same modules, but seams are not very obvious. Random Codes happening on the map are integrated good, you don't really feel them as some crappy event trigger. Players move through your map, npcs come around, aviation and dispatcher girls are broadcasting, weather changes.

If someone on the channel took npc as a partner on the same map as you, you cant take him, because you will get to see him on the mission. If it will stay unoccupied, he might appear by itself as a part of event.

There are trapdoor turrets in the city that can be evoked by remote control. Its possible to stand on them, while they are shooting. Its possible to get hit by a blast door that rises during events. There are monsters you have to stand on to hit their weak spot - small monsters might occasionally get on them too.

In the lobby, broadcasting message follows the approach of alien fleet and picture on displays changes according to the situation.

You can combo attacks, so your performance will be better, but you don't suffer too much from not timing the attacks.

There is always something new happening in every next location.

Classes are not different only because of weapons they can use. There is plenty of UI space in the class window, so I expect more classes in release, but honestly I can't image what else its possible to bring in there.

No matter how severe cash shop is going to be, I'm not going to feel bad about using it, because you are actually playing the game. Usually mmos are very weak on gameplay part, and I don't only mean a controlling scheme.

>>8898601
>No matter how severe cash shop is going to be, I'm not going to feel bad about using it

I dunno the whole "Both players must be premium members to open a trade window" kinda irks me, but everything else is fine really.

>>8898618
Because allowing scammers to have unlimited accounts is better?

>>8898619
Better than only having the ability to trade items in 30 day increments and costing actual money.

Maybe if there was a smaller buy-in amount to enable BASIC FUCKING FUNCTION LIKE TRADING that were permanent.

>>8898619
I dunno not allowing trading unless you pay is kind of ridiculous. That is a pretty basic function in my opinion.

>>8898618
It really depends on a price. I don't expect it costing too much. And like I said, I'm ready to spend money not because AC items are irrelevant and not crucial, but because I feel that this particular game is well worthy of it.

Personally I play alone majority of the time anyway, so what gives.

>>8898642
PSO2, rather.

PSO was the shit. If PSO is the same thing, but improved, then it's worth a little bit of money. Back in my day, we didn't have schthack!

>>8898622
>Maybe if there was a smaller buy-in amount to enable BASIC FUCKING FUNCTION LIKE TRADING that were permanent.

This would probably be a better way to go about it. Sort of like what Valve did when they made Team Fortress 2 F2P, you can only trade with other players after you've spent some money in the cash shop.

>>8898642
The only concern that left from second alpha is how much content they are going to put in release. I'm still very afraid they will put like one more biome more, disregarding weapons, classes and events, and then start making scratches until 2014, because thats what everyone else is doing at release stage of their game.

>>8898649
These kinds of games rake in money of gacha. I wouldn't be surprised. I just think it is funny they said they wouldn't have gacha, so they go and bring in 'scratch cards'.

>>8898662
pretty sure they said they wont have overpowering items in gacha, rather that something about total absence of it.

Gacha itself is not the problem. Ignoring everything else but gacha for regular is. Reading FEZ or another Gamepot game update reports is just depressing in that regard. Some games are in beta state for years, and they post more vanity items every month, instead of making actual game content.

I believe in Sega for a bit, but there is so little information...

what's error 640? i tried logging onto the ship 4, but get that every time.

Could I get an invite please?

>>8898601
>There is plenty of UI space in the class window, so I expect more classes in release, but honestly I can't image what else its possible to bring in there.

Maybe hybrid classes, eg. hunter who can use magic, ect. and you need to spend AC to unlock it naturally.

Anyone on able to guild invite? I'm sitting in the lobby; name's Cash.

>>8898662
They said they weren't bringing gacha?

The scratch things were fully revealed within a month of the first information that the game was going to free to play.

>>8899200
Aside from that though, there is already a maid headband in the FUN scratch. If they put a full maid outfit in a gacha, I'm going to be throwing money at Sega like it's going of style. There isn't a single aspect of this game that disappointed me (I guess save for the lack of content, and see below), so it truly feels weird to me to play it without paying for it.

About the content, I'm fairly sure they've said they'll be adding content in an episodic manner, where may you expect a somewhat low amount of content at release, but a hopefully-quick release schedule of content that will continue to hold players or keep players coming back over and over.

I just hope their idea of episodic content doesn't follow the same release schedule as such things as Nexon games, where it may be months and months between relatively meager updates. That would disappoint me beyond belief.

Anyone have the support items to make ability adding easier/less painful on failure?

I really want to try this

>>8898717

Nobody left here inviting? Still haven't seen anything all day.

I have one more invite left yet.

I guessed that would happen. One of the reasons I picked short hair.

Send me one please. I've been playing PSO since the Dreamcast days on dial up. I'd love get in on this.

Many thanks.

Patch delayed till 1600-1900 today.

damn I forgot to finish registering... welp, waiting for another invite then... sorry about this...

>>8901808
I am empty now.

The yellow exclamation point in the camp ship.

How do I add NPCs to my party? I always play solo and it would be nice to have some company while I grind.

>>8901965
But there's nothing there? Is there some kind of requirement?

>>8901979
You need to do their client orders and get their partner card first

>>8901983
Ummm... How do I do that?

>>8902001
The B-3 matter board quest unlocks the client orders. Check the pastebin.

>>8901933
got one, thanks

>>8901964
Or alternatively you could add someone as a friend, and if they have registered themselves as NPCs you could add them as NPC companions to your party as well.

Looking for an invite. Thanks in advance.

Is this a big improvement over the muck that was PSUniverse?

Servers went down for maintenance.

Do I have to unlock a second set of quests or something?

Still level 6, and the new quests stopped popping up after beating that Rappy one.

>>8902418
You have to do Coffee's client quests to unlock them. She's at the reception desk.

>>8902418
You're doing missions not quests. Go to the second area of the lobby VIA the white teleporter/elevator and talk to Shino (I think?) to unlock the matter board quests. The event auto triggers when you walk up to her.
After you've done a few quests you'll unlock client quests, and after you do the orange/yellow matter board quests you can speak to Koffie by the mission registration counter to do her client quests and unlock the volcano.

>>8902422
>>8902431

Ah, okay.. Thank you sirs

need a invite

Could I get an invite from someone? Been looking to do more than just use the benchmark for awhile now! Been playing PSO online since Dreamcast and would love to play with some like-minded people. Thanks.

There isn't much point in 24/7 NEETgrinding when the level cap is 20.

>>8902543
We're obviously all grinding missions like the autistic bastards we are, not sitting around the lobby chatting.

>>8902602
Actually, not much point grinding when there's gonna be a wipe.

Playing zoomed in ranger is pretty fun. It's like Mass Effect.

>>8902611
There's no crosshair..

>>8902615
?

There is. I'm talking about when you hit Z.

>>8902619
Oh, misunderstood.

>>8902609
What wipe? When? I just grinded my character to 10 in all three job classes (Hunter, Ranger, Force). I really hate it if I restart again.

>>8902629
>Not reading shit about anything.

It's a 9 day beta whose main purpose is to be a stress test.

>>8902611
It kinda leaves you vulnerable to side attacks, especially during dagan encounters, because they like to strafe around and jump from behind.

But they make cute shuffling noises.

>>8902629
You can always be sure that everything is going to be wiped, when everyone gets a huge amount of cash shop money. Maybe if it was open beta, and not closed.

>>8902637
Yeah, that's the face I'd make if I was told I had two days to live.

>>8902611

How?

>>8902606
This, all those volcano runs.

>>8902692

about 10 more minutes and we can continue playing

>>8902710
Server's live right now.

>>8902711
even better !

>>8902637
> It kinda leaves you vulnerable to side attacks

Yes, it's really bad. Before the beta, I thought I'd be using TPS mode exclusively, but it turns out I only use TPS for breaking boxes (since they can't be locked on).

Especially for the giant spider boss where it shoots red stuff from the ground at random locations. If you're running around, you won't know that you're running straight into it.

Locking on is better in every way.

Anyone else getting crashed for talking to Shino? It's the 2nd time you meet her after clearing the matter board up to 78%

>>8902997
don't click on her, just approach, and the event will start on its own. It usually crashes because people click right before event triggers.

>>8898479
Haven't got an invite yet, anyone?

>>8903407
Sending. The page has been loading for a few minutes, though.

>>8902735
After messing around with TPS-mode with the gunblade as FO, it's a bit of a wonder how you would even play solely with TPS+guns.

It does work wonders for FO bolt magic though. The center of the bolt is a "solid" and can be stopped by enemy contact, but a graze does full damage and the bolt continues to fly and damage more enemies. This is essential for dropping groups of enemies at range. For the bosses, you can snipe weakpoints/breakpoints with crosshair-aimed flare/lightning, or timely release magic bolts towards them while compensating for movement.

I didn't even know there was a TPS mode in alpha, and it was so much more difficult to play FO.

>>8903885
How do you snipe effectively with magic when the bosses move around so much and have ranged AoE attacks that you have to dodge?
Given their size isn't it better to use ranged AoEs yourself or use the card thrower and link it with your anti personal AoE? It's multi hit and does more total damage then a single hit spell.

New thread.
>>8903970

>>8903932
With the way bosses work, there's no point simply damaging the boss (at least on normal, this may be quite the opposite if they add difficulties up to Ultimate or whatnot where it may change from a battle for loot to a battle for victory).

In the case of Vol Dragon, breaking his tail multiple times (and his horn? unsure) will also increase increase the rate of items replacing meseta drops. In the case of Dark Ragne, breaking his legs will have the same function (presumably). For spider though, you can indeed AoE his legs for good effect. On dragon, it's actually a hindrance to ice AoE sometimes since if you freeze him when his tail breaks, it will interrupt his tail repairing motions (freezing is amazing prior to the tail break though, since his tail becomes almost completely immobile, however, he has too little HP on Normal and it should probably be avoided nonetheless).

>>8903984

Like responding in the new thread.

I really want to play this game, I downloaded it and everything and I feel like all my hard work was for nothing.. Could someone PLEASE send me an invite key? Loganvirusx@yahoo.com

Any idea if there's any room on the team now, and if anyone is around to invite? I don't think I've played with a single english speaker all day, and I've been playing _all_ day
