Is there a way to play solo without getting kicked when my net drops? I'm guessing not, but I'd like to get ep 1 out of the way while I'm waiting on stable internet.

Made an Xpadder config.
The Technical Stuff
- Create a file called PSO.xpadderprofile and put this text in it.
- In PSO turn cursor memory OFF and make sure keyboard control (F11) is ON. (You know it's on if you have to press SPACE to start chatting.)
- It assumes this pretty typical gamepad config (menu open/close bound to START and menu open/menu decide bound to R3).
- I use it with a DualShock 3 via XInput. I'm not 100% sure if the profile will map perfectly to a real 360 pad. Lemme know?
The Binds
The primary bind set has hotkeys for mag feeding, hotbar 1-5, and toggling ENB. (If you use ReShade/SweetFX change that bind as appropriate.)
To access the secondary binds hold down left trigger (PlayStation L2) and keep it held until your chosen hotkey finishes execution. Set 2 has binds for the item pack, equip menu, area map, swapping banks, hotkeys 6-10, and four emotes (change to your faves).
The only thing I absolutely couldn't get working was screenshots, because Xpadder can't press printscreen and PSO doesn't take input from stuff like autohotkey. Ah well, I'm just thrilled to have quick mag feed and item pack keys.

This version is online only unfortunately. Would be awesome to play offline, especially during times while the server is down but beggars can't be choosers lol.

Oh well, suppose I'll have to be patient~
That's what I'm doing as well lol, spent all day thinking about getting home from work to play and just before I can the server goes down.
Thankfully I'm off tomorrow so I'll be staying up late to power level and spending a good chunk of tomorrow playing as well.

People should stop referencing data that makes me feel uncomfortable because games get ported to platforms I don't like
Darn it has anybody been able to get the Mag Farm program to work on Windows 10?
All I get is this:
and FYI you can download the Mag Farm here:

If you right click the file and change compatibility to Windows 95, it should work. At least it does for me.

Well I went up a couple of levels today with a group and doing a solo run in the Forest, so that's not bad. I'll give it another try tomorrow night after work.
You're going to break it right now.
Was actually just playing with him and it went rather well, only had one instanced where he timed out. Ran through caves and mines with him actually.

Finally got to play for a few minutes, first time online too. Had fun, even though I was barely damaging anything with my weak hand guns lol
That was my new HUnewearl, Crow.
No worries, I figured it might have been a sudden d/c.
Also, just noticed somebody is already level 75. That is some sweet dedication.

Am I playing this game wrong? I made a RaMar character and did like 9 solo quests but all of them require you going through the same forest killing the same monsters over and over while story flags activate. I got to level 10 in like 2 hours but it was a slog the whole way. Didn't find any cool new gear or stuff to do. Does this get better?
Also, what's the point in equipping techniques if you only have the bare magic stat to use them? They all seem useless as a ranger.

I think the first two sets quests are in the Forest and then eventually move on to Cave.

Created a HUnewearl, RAcast and FOnewm. Started on the RAcast and soloed to level 6, it's exactly as I remember it. Looks like everyone is super far ahead though so I'll probably have to do some catching up before hopping into any parties lol.

Have you tried SMAA or FXAA via ReShade (SweetFX) or RadeonPro? Both work. I moved from ENB to ReShade and my game's lookin' pretty fine.Really wish I could get AA working without pioneer 2 slowing down to a crawl
Not yet. I've never tinkered with Radeon pro before. I like ENB in theory, but the HDR effect is overkill to the point of being nigh unplayable in some instances.
Yay we did it!!!
It means you did a search for someone using their guild card and that they were online.
You have to look at the results (F5) for it to go away.

I believe those are elemental resistances, the higher the better if I remember right.

Resistance to fire, ice, lightning, dark, and light elements.

Nice one. I was playing with you guys, but had to bail to prep dinner. That and i was too low lvl. Getting 1 shot =| isnt fun
I would never say someone was playing a game "wrong", but this game is really best when you're partied up with other people. Even then, this game is basically about running through the same or similar areas over and over again looking for loot. It's Diablo meets Monster Hunter.
The SP story is about as cool as a game story from 2000 is going to get (especially so if you were a giant Phantasy Star nut back in the day), but I'd rather be blasting through places as a foursome.
Techs are flavour if you're not a Force. Handy for a little extra damage or as "Oh Shit" buttons.
As said above, if your not a force, you arent going to be doing much if any significant damage via techs. They are really there for buffs/healing/ports etc. You should really be concentrating on getting you mag leveled and getting some firepower. Maxing ATP, ATA, and LCK is priority first.

The game is a lot better when you party. Some quests give out item rewards (some which are rather convoluted to get). You won't find good gear until you hit (Very) Hard. The buff/heal techs are useful if you don't have a Force in your party.
The attack techs are useful against enemies that can't be hurt for a certain time period, like the twin crabs in Caves. They can't be hurt with regular attacks, until they break apart. Also, Gizonde is useful for breaking boxes due to its chaining effect.
