As far as I know, /vg/ is going to stick to ship 4.

You can play alone or with your 10-person guild regardless of who else is on your ship, or even your block. There's not really a reason to avoid them.

We're not "playing with /vg/". We're on the same ship to ensure there's a good amount of English users to fall back on, but we'll be on a different block to them. Falling back on /vg/ for parties is way better than having to roll with redditgamefaqsfacebook, and if you keep to the /jp/ block, you'll never encounter anyone from /vg/, save for the few who also browse /jp/.
Of course, you'll still see them in open fields since they're ship-wide, but if they're actually dumb enough to try and communicate with you, you can either remain mute or paste some random hiragana and they'll leave you the fuck alone unless your name is gaben or some shit.

In PSO they always contained some sort of rare, unique weapon or item. Now they usually contain a normal weapon that you can add an element and an attribute to. It IS possible to get a rare from them, but don't count on it.

Also, tekking costs a dickload of meseta now, proportional to the quality of the item.

>> No.9171738

No. TP regenerates over time and by connecting attacks.

>> No.9172052

>>9171738
The old TP system is pretty much gone.

Everybody has 100 TP even Casts and every skill that isn't a normal attack uses between 20-40 TP. Each successful normal attack against a monster recovers like 5-15 TP depending on if it was ranged or melee and how hard you hit it. Also it takes like maybe 8 seconds to fully recover all 100 TP.

Forces get skills that up their max TP, but with a level cap of 20 in the closed beta I only got up to like 130 TP.

Honestly, it felt really weird at first but I think its a change for the better. Except the whole FOcast thing.. I still can't quite get over that..

Wait what? Are you talking about melee FO?
That was actually how my skill tree was set up in CBT, nobody else used it because it wasn't as strong as just charging up Gifoie, but fuck was it so much more fun. Theres an entire skill tree line for stronger uncharged techs, Just Attacks on techs, and recovering more TP on strikes.

There was a benchmark/character creator program that was pretty accurate for how laggy it gets on normal situations.
Might as well just download the game, as close as we are to pre-open.

I wonder if they fixed the weird lag issues in the lobby. It could be completely empty in there and walking in a certain area would drop you to 10fps instantly as long as you stood in that small area.

Was the prize useful or just for looks?

Bouquet?
Its likely an usual gun, except it can be used by other classes (without skills though).

Just how many people from S4B42 were from /jp/?
I saw way too many people with japanese names
Also, how many /jp/ guilds are there?

I use a Japanese name so I can play with Japanese players without scaring them off.

It's around 15 people last I checked. I used Jap name so I can join in nips in case no guild member is up.

Can you make RAcaseals that look like RAcaseals?

Hotglue and PizzaClub were there, plus a bunch of guildless users who just wanted the rifle.
A good half of the block 42 users had English names, but I didn't invite them into Hotglue until I could confirm they were from /jp/.

It'd help if you could post your name in the thread when OBT hits, since guild invites require you to meet ingame.

But Hotglue isn't /jp/...

Suo

Not sure if I'll end up having it in katakana or something, for the sake of not standing out.
