It took over an hour but the page finally loaded. Check your mail.

I don't mean simply throwing spells around blindly, use auto lock to lock on a specific part of it then target that.

For example with the dragon you could lock on it's legs, freeze it, and keep tossing ice spells to try and re-freeze it in place.
Once the tail is broken switch to lightning spells and back to ice spells once the tail is restored. That is assuming your FO is more about inducing status effects then damage output I guess..? Take the skill tree path to increase chance of freezing, use a low damage weapon, ect.

>>8904012
Freeze spec and low damage weapons on one character would probably be quite an ideal situation, indeed.

I wonder if the FO freeze boost counts towards melee hits as well, so you could employ Freeze2/3+ traits along with the talent boost. Using gunblade and that almost-instant multi-hit skill could potentially result in very effective freezes if this was the case.

I think I'm going to go try this. I already had a freeze spec set up, but it felt pointless to pick anything except PP charge regen with the low SP cap currently if you're using spells (being able to attack almost twice as often is hard to compensate for).

Can someone send me an invitation?
the_channeler@hotmail.com
I really want to get into this...

Tps mode in shooting is great for aiming at weak parts of enemies, like heads, infection bulbs etc. something that lock on doesn't focus. Combined with timed attacks it does much bigger damage.

sometaters@hotmail.com

>>8904077
The multi thrust skill? Yeah if the freeze boost does stack with weapon bonus and elemental damage it could work. But how are you going to take an FO in close to melee a boss and survive for very long?

Even with the ice def boost it still hurts like hell, maybe if you were a cast, assuming the racial differences count for something.

I hope they come out with more options of customization for the cast.

It's so limited...

>>8904115
On SOME enemies, others have their weak spots so conveniently located you could just blast them into oblivion without it.

Still looking for an invite, as I've been dying to get my hands on this game.

>>8904122
I switched to hunter for a while and was playing no-guard berserk, so I'll probably be fine. Blink is absolutely incredible as an evasion tool, and I'll probably have more defense as force without the -200 armor berserk.

Going to give it a try with this weapon and 5 freeze boost / 1 ice ignition and see what happens. Also the skill I was thinking was サーペントエア　（Ｓｅｒｐｅｎｔ　ａｉｒ？）. The jab multi-hit one probably works too.

This could be really neat if this kind of thing works out.

>>8904199
Ah, it's you Namae, should guessed.
Haven't come across a skill like that before, but good luck, fingers crossed and all.

Also, how did you gain that many weapon slots? I only have 3.

Is 20 the level cap?

>>8904233
Yes, for now.

>>8904219
I have no idea how the three extra slots showed up, they appeared at some point when I wasn't paying attention.

The primary things I can think of would be L20, board completion, or コフィー's　counter quests fully completed.

Looking for invite

>>8904199
>Blink is absolutely incredible as an evasion tool,

I forgot the evasion was tied to the weapon. Well, at least I'll still be without the -200 defense from berserk, if it works out.

Can someone send me an invite key as well?

loganvirusx@yahoo.com

If anyone has a hold of Momoyo, tell'em I found a ticket that enhances ability transfer percents by 5%.

Invitation please?

Spare an invite anyone?

>>8904287
bump reply

i cant even play the game without the key

It looks like the freeze rate on dragon is just too low overall to bother with it at the skills we have currently (5/6 of 10 freeze boost max, or freeze 2/3 "max"). Perhaps it would be greatly effective at 10/10 freeze boost or with a Freeze V weapon.

I don't have any card weapons with freeze boost / frost dmg on it to try and see if that has better freezing interaction.

>>8904552
Perhaps that was a bit preliminary, it seems バータ, the ice lance spell, has a very high freeze effect rate. I guess it would require a very large amount of testing to get a true result anyways to reduce random results.

>>8904552
It could be possible that the freeze boost just applies to only spells?
On average when using blizzard VIA cards on the dragon I freeze it maybe 2-3 times in a fight.

>>8904578
Ice lance..you mean the starting ice spell?

>>8904580
2-3 average was what I just experienced as well through 7 runs trying 5/10 freeze boost along with a Freeze 2 gunblade, then afterwards trying with the circular ice AE.

As my opinion, I don't feel 2-3 freezes is worth adding all that extra dmg when isn't done to the tail crystal.

Going to play with ice lance aimed directly at feet a bit more and see if the results are any different.

>>8904585
Yep.

>>8904603
Actually, I was averaging that without the freezing effect boost and no weapons with freeze on it.

Thanks for the invite Noe.

I take it I cant get the invite unless I have that sega id or whatever? Likewise I wont be able to get the closed beta then huh. Well from what I can tell the beta is over like in 3 or 4 days. I'll just wait till it comes out official I guess. It will be free to play anyways.

>>8904219
One of Koffie's client orders gives you extra weapon slots. I can't remember which one atm.

>>8904131
I remember reading somewhere that SEGA are going to add more accessories and stuff before launch. There's also another set of Cast parts in the gacha.

>>8904610
Would be largely unnoticeable I guess, depending how this freeze boost works.

I just noticed you can see the freeze rate on the skills too:
バータ L3 is Freeze 28 (30 at L5?)
ギ・バータ L5 is 16
ラ・バータ L5 is 29

Freeze boost skill is "105% something" at 5/10. Would be very helpful if someone could read what these kanji say to satiate my curiosity.

>>8904677
Translation says special chance to occur.

>>8904692
Guess it will remain a mystery as to whether it is a 105% boost of the spell's freeze rate, or a raw +5 freeze rate then.

The downloader is taking forever.
Is this normal?

>>8904845
Sega's is 300kb/s

The torrent varies, it probably has less seeds by now though

>>8904287

Can you break the dragon's horn? Seemed like I was wailing on it for most of the fight and he died before it broke.

>>8905072
We broke it once (I think?), then he dived and got golden armor and had his horn back and we never broke it again.

Is there a way to import images for symbol art? I saw a Cure Peace one on futaba.

>>8906221
There's a history one but I'm not sure how it works. Shit I've seen recently doesn't usually pop up in it

Has anybody else's ranger AI tried to crawl away from them yet?

Its really strange, and a pain in the ass since they won't attack or follow you anymore.

aquinxros@yahoo.com please send me a invite!!

Nice, didn't know they were doing the friend invites.

valknight00@gmail.com

>>8906221
If you manage to see it in-game, you can copy your cache files (sort by date and find it quickly, then rename it to stock(#).sar in the other folder. Just be careful since it seemed to erase some of my own in other slots for no apparently reason when that was done.

In terms of importing from an image, don't think it's possible currently, but could easily be wrong. Saving a .sar the artist posted is perhaps the only way other than cache copying.

If anyone has a spare key, evenshade@gmail.com please hit me up

If this game was a castle I'd customize it! Key please!

> something that lock on doesn't focus

But all the weak spots can be locked on.

The only problem is getting the lock on high places, but once you have it, it's easier.

>>8907509
Damn. You got a cast version? Little robot girls are my fetish.

>>8907509
Excellent.

There's already nude skins? That was fast.

oh, i am sorry for using emoticons. i forgot that /jp/ is a group of soulless NEETs

>>8908651
Well, I wouldn't say that but emoticons are generally not allowed because of shit like "le first for le reddit XD" and general overuse of such things. The only acceptable emoticon is the ;_; crying face and any japanese emoticons.

>>8908651
Oh so I was right for thinking you arent from around here.

I am just curious as to where you are from and why you decided to come here is all.

>>8908651
Emoticons are generally not accepted on any 4chan board.

So if you buy a second character, then delete the character, do you have to pay to make another one, or do you get to keep the second slot?

Has anything been said about what's happening after this CB phase?

Don't believe anything has been discussed/described yet.

There's been info floating around for some time that the OBT will include a higher level cap, but no time frame or release schedule has appeared anywhere that I know of.

I'd really like to know where you people are coming from all of a sudden. Not that I mind giving out invites or am trying to be elitist, but your post just reeks of arrogance.
It's one thing to ask for an invite, but another thing entirely to blatantly say "We just want an invite and don't really care about playing with you lot. Oh but, you can join us if you want."

Can I get an invite? Raakam@ohtacos.com

>>8910778
I've been wanting to play with all you guys since I got in but i've been all by my lonesome ;_; Haven't been able to really find anyone. Good thing I love this game to pieces and still have fun by myself

Did you read the FAQ in the pastebin link and register someone as a friend?
Otherwise post your name and wait in the lobby on block 42.

>>8910778
I never really mean to sound arrogant or anything. If it comes off that way... well, I'm sorry, but I didn't mean it to. I understand where you come from though.
We really do like having new people to play with, and I guess the attitude comes with "I play in a group," but oh well.

>>8911075
I guess I've just been hoping to run into someone, I haven't even looked at the friends, nor know how to add anyone. I guess I should look into it before I hit my second 20

You realize the beta ends the 28th in Japan, right? I already gave all of my passes out, even still.

>>8914855

Yeah, but I figure I can still get in a half decent try.

So yeah.

Two Dark Ragnes drop on my head in the middle of the forest.
We take that down.. Okay.

Five minutes later, another one. AND two Rockbears at the same time. What the fuck, Sega.

>>8914956
you got to enable PSE burst so its expected from you to defeat them in quite short time as well.

>>8914961
The only reason we got the PSE burst is because all those little darkers in that tiny corner got fucked up by AOE.

It was such a cluster fuck it was nearly impossible to target anything, much less what you WANTED to target. We got the rockbears down first but half the time they were wedged in the middle of the Ragne.

>>8914965
I had change over from ragne to ragne, while there was only one another player in the room. Its fine. Wild encounters are cool. Too bad they put out the alpha forest map, with huge shielded monsters. Having to fight ragne with two or three of them must be a complete disaster.

Oh goddamn again.

welp

Luckily the items fell down

Hardly see anyone on, don't tell me everyone's stopped cause CB is coming to an end.

Anyone have another invite?

What do the "Gear" skills do? I just got Sword Gear and I have no idea what it does.

I have no PC whatsoever right now [i'm on a shitty netbook that barely deserves to be called a PC.]

Wanting to run it on mid to high, not so sure about Low.

>>8916238
My 5 year old PC runs it on medium/high at 1680x1050 without any major issues other than weird intermittent and seemingly-unexplainable lag. It's a Core 2 duo 1.8ghz / 4gb ram / Radeon HD4890 (newer video than the rest). My video card fan speeds up 100% of the time if I run it at 1920x1200.

I think even toasters can run the game on minimum-all, from what I've heard.

So no one here has an invite for this CB they can give out?

Force feels really slow. Is there a way to speed up PP regeneration, or make them lose less of it?

Raakam@ohtacos.com

>>8916196
Why does that room remind me of Xenosaga so much...

>>8916996
hitting with normal attack increases regeneration. Comboing attacks does even better.

Well, I am and I know like 3 others or so that are still playing, but I can't say much for anyone else

>>8919825
Yes we are, not as many as before but still quite a few, like 7-10. Maybe our times don't cross, but at the very least I know I'm there for a few hours every day once the lag settles down.

Is the maintenance STILL going on?

>>8920253

Extended to 22:30 Jap time. It'll be done in about 1:15 minutes, if they don't extend it again.

We need to try making a triple group some time and see if how long we can get these going for.

And probably at launch too as someone gets mission 1-4 open or when invasion opens for massive leveling and useless rares.

>>8926346
Yeah, definitely the quickest way to level is just cramming as many people as possible into the same multi-party zone.

Tribes Ascend is pretty fun

>>8924872
How do you access saved character templates? I bought another character slot just to see if I could reload the saved appearance at creation, but I don't see any such option.

>>8926822
I am unsure if this is completely correct but it may be the case that you must first save it during creation, then load it afterwards.

I wish there was a way to go back into the editor so I could see what voice I chose.

>>8926990
And while I was watching it load my post I remembered that you can go into the makeover shop on the shop floor midlevel and see your character and edit things.

You can probably save it in there if you didn't at creation.

Anyone successfully imported symbol art from one character to another? I copy and pasted the contents of the folder but nothing is showing up.

>>8926998
You can't save it in there.

Probably because you can unlock unique hairstyles and other things from the cash scratchers

Rockbear boss fight for those who's interested

>>8926990
Aha! I did save it. I didn't realize the option to load was under the fourth stage in creation.

What a relief.

I think we've trained them well.

>>8927344
place several parrots in the room and make them imitate generic /jp/ thread.

>>8927021
I managed to save an icon-sized one created by another person from my cache folder and copy/rename it as stock#.sar and be able to use it from my main list. It also randomly deleted 2 of my own in different #slots when I did that, but it half-worked.

Really odd that it doesn't work between folders. The whole format is apparently incredibly convoluted, from some people who were examining it and trying to see how the format works. There may be some kind of ridiculous tag within the file that must match the character ID, or perhaps the character ID isn't added until a cache file is read. If something silly like this is the case, then you could try:
1. Use your image in-game on the character it works on, so it lands in your cache file.
2. Copy that cache file into your new character's folder.
3. ???

>>8926407
Gotta go faster

Speaking of which, I was watching a video on NND where a player was demonstrating how to move slightly faster with some jump cancel movement.

>>8928102
care to share the link?

>>8930212
thanks.

it might be a bit faster but only useful if you need to get through the maps fast.

I expected Vol dragon but instead I get this:

I have one more day to reach him

standard lag.

>>8930806
Vol is in the volcano free exploration map.

>>8931030
Lowest graphic setting?

>>8931166
Aye, finally got to him, think that's a wrap for this beta. It was fun.

I feel kind of silly asking this, but is the FO's healing spell worthless? It seems like everyone just carries their abundant and quick-to-use healing items, so there's never a point in regrouping and me using my AE heal. If nobody cares about an FO healing, then I probably don't need it on a weapon quickslot or my sub-palette so I can have more spells/items ready.

>>8932401
I use my heal items because Force's never heal.

>>8932403
Well... fuck. I guess I'll just start playing like all the cool kids and not use heals.

>>8932401
Charged healing is much better than the quick one. You can also exploit distant healing with card placement.
I really like when NPC companions thank me for the healing, so I do that often.

>>8932426
Being a healer is a sacrifice, not a job.

>>8932443
Yeah, this is what I try to do. But the time and PP spent on aiming, charging, and casting for a heal that gets wasted the second your Hunter partner uses a healing item, just isn't worth it.

>>8932451
A useful sacrifice is better than a wasted one.

FO's healing needs to be timed well, it's worth having on a quickslot if only for personal use. Alternatively just tell your party before hand that if they need healing to come close to you.
If you're with a regular party then they'll know your play style and how to take advantage of openings during boss fights. Like for example when Ragne climbs the walls or when Vol burrows underground are all great times to come together and heal.

>>8932547
Or buff even.

Also tomorrow is the last day of CB, so come on if you can for the short farewell.

>>8932558
Is there a specific time in the day? Unfortunately I work all day, so won't be able to get on until late, like 9pm EST

>>8932587
Servers are supposed to go down 11PM Japan time I think, so that would be..noonish in the states?

Anyone got a spare invite? Still playing Blue Burst. ;_;

>>8932762
Why not? Even if we're drawing close to the end, no reason why you can't have some fun now.
Sent.

>>8932778
Thanks so much.

>>8932787
These look great.
With that one FO weapon with the stars, my loli can finally become a true mahou shoujo.

Anyone got a spare invite?

>>8932401
It's not useless because I always use it to heal myself for free. I always try to throw a heal to my team mates, especially if its a hunter in the middle of a beat down who doesn't have time to pause for a *mate drink, but for some unknown reason they always run away from me.

They're low on HP and they see me chasing them with a charged spell and the first thing they do is get away from me as far as possible. This is so frustrating.

I actually have to predict their path and try charging Resta ahead of them so that they'll run through it and get healed. That's the only way with these people. I don't even know why I bother.

>>8932787
So there IS a scythe weapon. Fucking excellent. I've only found one 7-star weapon.

>>8932401
I keep the heal on my subpalette and back off to charge it whenever im missing health. It doesn't have the same annoying stop time that the healing items do, and it's free/limitless so I like it.

I'm scared of OBT. I need to finish up like five more VNs before it starts or I'll never get around to them.

Does anyone else sometimes experience lag where it severely fucks with your camera turning? I don't mind the graphical choppiness, but it seems to throttle my mouse turning and that really screws me up.
It only happens maybe 15% of the time, and usually in multi-party areas. Otherwise it runs smoothly.

>>8933316
>They're low on HP and they see me chasing them with a charged spell and the first thing they do is get away from me as far as possible. This is so frustrating.

I am very familiar with this feeling. It's like casting Resta also creates a repulsion field around you and you get to watch helplessly as everyone moves further and further away while your own movement is inhibited by the charged spell.

>>8933360
its because at those instances the game runs lower than 30fps. the game was designed to have its main loop running at at least 30fps. anything lower than that and the game cannot keep up and thus you will experience input lags. it is barely noticeable while using a gamepad.

i must admit that sonic team did some good work on the engine running that smoothly (compared to PSU anyway)

>>8933599
A little off topic reply, but since you mentioned the gamepad:
Do people find it easy to play with a gamepad? Are there any controls that seem awkward? I was going to play with mine but I can't get the analog sticks to work (not with the game, but with my computer generally). Is it worth trying to solve?

>>8933613
yes totally! you can control the game just fine with just a gamepad as a hunter or force. i havent tried playing as a ranger yet but if you are going to do serious aiming as a ranger then you probably should stick with keyboard and mouse.

>>8933629
Alright thanks. I'm playing Force and generally like playing games with gamepads, I just thought there'd be a bit too much complexity for just a gamepad to work with easily.

I know I can just change blocks, but this is fucking ridiculous. Some faggots in the Arks Lobby are spamming their Symbol Arts so they stay on my screen permanently. Is there a way to disable just them in the options, and any sounds that seem to be attached to them?

>>8934274
They probably count as text, just blacklist the person.

Do you guys really play on ship 4 block 42? I hardly ever see anyone there, and when I do it's a japanese person.

>>8934663
I really haven't seen many people either, and I've been on a fair bit.

>>8934663
Practically nobody is on right now. Even when it first started, there weren't that many of us. I guess best thing to do is find a team to join. I thought we started going block 42 instead of 44 to be alone with our autism.

>>8934663
I ended up joining Ship 2 because a friend of mine was there, and I joined the CBT late so I didn't think I'd be playing much..
Blocks 1, 2, and 20 have been almost full several times I've been on. 20 is full of english speakers
Sadly, almost all of them are disgusting normals and /a/tards who spam retarded shit as symbol art and emoticons all day

>>8934663
A lot of people stopped logging on since there wasn't much to do after getting to 20. I just moved to block 1.

>>8934738
Ship 2 is the Reddit and PSO World hangout. My condolences.

>>8934705
That so. Hopefully when the OBT comes out there will be more content so I can actually autism with you guys.

>>8934987
I would think it's at least partially due to the huge influx of games right now.

During the time PSO2's CBT was open:
- Diablo 3 had an open weekend.
- Tera name reservation occurred and pre-launch opened.
- Guild Wars 2 had a test period open.

Combine that with the ability to finish all of PSO2's content in a day, and a wipe coming within a day of now, not too surprising really.

I hope we can all play together next time it opens.

Me, Kaguya and Tablecat are on now, hanging out in my room to get away from the insanity that is going on around the blocks.
You're welcome to come on and join us.

>>8934987
I want to save myself for OB. It's like taking the virginity of a loli.

He doesn't even know mai waifu.

Rockbear salesperson.

>>8933372
I think its a product of lag, because I can't ever see when my friend's FO is charging up, but then again he never heals anyway. I played a melee FO with a S-ATK mag and the boosted uncharged spells and Just Attack skill, so I was right up there WITH the hunter I was healing.

>>8933613
>>8933629
I used a PS2 controller with a usb adapter. I couldn't imagine playing PSO without it. I've got triangle as jump, cross as dodge, square for shoot, circle is the generic activation button. Hold R2 to switch quick palettes, L2 is the secondary palette button.

You can use the D-Pad to move the cursor on your 0-9 quickbar and bind a button to "Use" that specific skill, Considering even as a FO I didn't use much but Shifta/Deband and ocassionally Resta, this was plenty for me.

As far as rangers go, I actually had the Select button switch between normal and over the shoulder mode. You can also have different controller binds for the two view modes. When I went into over the shoulder mode for whatever reason I kept my left hand on the joystick, L2 was palette switch and I used the mouse as normal. Was quite an amazing method I had set up actually.

>>8934663
>>8934692
>>8934705
There used to be more, also some of those players with japanese names might be us. Basically if you want to do multi-party areas join block 1, 2, or 44. If you want to take it easy go 42.

I know you feel uneasy now
Like on a stormy sea
You are in too deep
I say the tide will surely turn
You say it is hard to let it be
Baby, holding on is the only way
Love will never make it if you should go away

'Cause nothing's going to last forever
All we can do
Is to believe in love
Oh, nothing's gonna remain the same
Baby, you'll choose to
Live in this complicated world with me

>>8935976
Noe, gimmie your cage please, I need it for my room

>>8933613
I tried playing with the keyboard the first day and just could not do it. The only controller option I had at the time was a wiimote, which was pretty shitty due to lack of buttons. Then I bought a ps2->usb converter and after a lot of tweaking what buttons did, I finally got a really good setup.

I only played as a FO and this is what I came up with:
X basic attack
square tech attack
triangle subpalette attack
circle generic action
L1 subpalette left
R1 subpalette right
L2 move camera behind me
R2 dodge
L3 jump
R3 main palette shift (I had it set to toggle and not hold).
up/down weapon changing
left TPS mode
right quickmenu
start menu
select toggle area map

>>8936003
When I get back.

>>8935976
Her face looks creepy as hell

>>8936036
I tried via the PS3 controller + Motionjoy, it works really well, much to my surprise.
But I prefer Mouse + Keyboard for the Ranger class.

I also finally met with Dark Ragne, I think that sums up all the bosses in the Closed Beta. Fun times...

;_;

Well CBT is over, was a short time but I look forward to seeing everyone in OBT again.

While everyone was grinding their weapons to make +10 God slayers of DOOOOOOM. This is what I spent most of my OBT time putting together.
Thanks to Aya, Kaguya, Namae, Tablecat, Shinon, Noe, Dari, Nemuri, and a crap load of other people who I know I forgot for donating items and time in making it an overall fun experience.

Hope to see you all in open beta.

Sad I missed the actual end of it all from running over at finals. Ah well, see you all in OBT

>>8936674
>my OBT time putting together.

I mean CBT.

>>8936690

And Div of course! See you in OBT.

Was fun playing with you guys, even with the limited amount of content and the moonrunes. Wish I'd been able to wake up in time to mess around in the last hour of the beta, oh well.

I'm surprised at how well the game actually came out. Jumped on it at the last minute when I heard it was possible to get an invite, definitely was not disappointed in the result.

>>8936674
Should've told me you were looking for house items, I had a bunch stuffed in my warehouse I wasn't using.

I'll see you all in OB, whenever it is.

Good work, everyone.
Of course, we'll be back together in OB, where we'll make more memories together.
Nothing's going to last forever, but for us, this is only the beginning.

Fanservice.

Didn't get a chance to play as much as I wanted to, but I still had fun.

The next Phantasy Star Online 2 Fan Briefing is on May 3rd, so we might get given a date for OB around then. Maybe...

I was really impressed with the game overall. Felt like a vastly improved Vindictus with more MMO action. I can't wait until OB to try out hunter and force some more.
