Yeah I noticed that the levels seemed a little different from when I last played about 2 weeks ago. Emergency missions seem a lot more frequent too.
Probably. The team has to level up a bit for that, though. I've cliked through the in-game tutorial a bit too fast, so I don't really don't know the details, but the team xp seems to be gained by doing the Team orders. Will dig into that later.

Techer's Poison Ignition skill looks hilariously useless just like Freeze Ignition. At least with this one your teammates won't accidentally remove the status effect during the million hours it takes to cast the skill.
Also, losing Charge PP Revival HURTS.
But I guess I'll just prioritize whackin' stuff with my macely wand.
Techer seems to have less "useful for everyone" skills. Like, I'm Fire-specced as a Force, but two of those skills boost everything I can cast by a % as long as I charge. Here there's just stat boosts and PP restoring. I guess the Shifta/Deband boosts that you can't avoid are the all-around buffs.

I'm loving my lv14 fighter so far. Found 2 dual dagger pas, so I have 3 now and can do a fairly good combo with them. Too bad the reach of normal attacks is so short.
That's my biggest complaint about the knuckle weapons, too. Really slow, with terribly short range.

This is what I was talking about:
First greyed out option means team I believe which is why I think the actual team functions will be included in the late Sept patch along with the AC update and the Story quest update.
Ah, ok. Don't really understand why they put the tutorial in now, if that's the case.This is what I was talking about:

I just noticed that Megid has some kind of homing. That explains the incredible slowness.
I don't really understand how it works yet.

Try downloading the client from the site, it's supposed to include the update.

Wand Gear is pretty awesome. Wand damage is significant with it active, and one good charged AoE tech will fill it completely.
If the Wand has elemental damage, it does a sort of mini-tech of that. If it doesn't have any elemental damage, it just does more physical damage with a second "WHACK" sound/effect.

I'm really happy with Techer so far, now that I have Wand Gear.
Wind/Light/Dark has a bunch of great area attacks that fill up the Wand Gear immediately, and then Wand Gear does pretty great single target damage.
I'm only level 11 and I'm already feeling like some kind of whirlwind of death. Also I'm really liking the Wand designs so far as well. Lots of techno-maces.

Thx for the impressions. I wasn't sure if I wanted to waste skill points on it and was just considering sticking to a Force+Techer Rod build in the future, but I'm gonna give it a shot now cause of your impressions.
Yeah, I wasn't really liking Wands so much at first. They're slower and have less range than Rods, and aren't really stronger by themselves.
But then Wand Gear is incredibly easy to keep up, and does somewhere around 60% extra damage as whatever element.
Of course I have no clue how it scales, being so low level, but all of a sudden Wands make sense

Some of the guys over at the English patch forums uploaded some of the new data.
Vashyron posted an updated Item Icon Pack:
6 new mags (counting Sato and Rappy) are buried in there along with 1 new tech for every element, bunch of armor pieces I don't recognize/reskins for the rare enemies, new weapons, new AC outfits/reskins, & new My Room items. One of the new mags looks like a Jack O Lantern mage with a bat sidekick.
Mags:
He also uploaded the icons for the new darkers and the new rare enemies. Here's a few of them:
Reskins/Rare enemies (Full set here):
New Darkers (Ruins enemies?):
Agrajag uploaded some high res icons. Here's a few:
New AC Outfits/Reskins (Full set + new armor here):
Also tons of new weapons including reskins & classic PSO weapons (off the top of my head I saw a Monkey King Bar/Black King Bar, Knuckle Gloves, Brave Knuckle, Parasol, Hitogata, Mahu, Caduceus, Agito, Sange & Yasha, Egg Blasters, & Holy Ray).
Weapons (Full set is split between here and here):
I'm really glad to see they have a lot of stuff in the pipeline! Can't wait for some of this stuff to be unlocked now.

The male armor on the top left here (hobo scarf) is friggin awesome. I'd almost roll a dude instead of my girl character to play as that

Finished the item collecting twice over last night to eventually unlock Techer and Gunner. Will probably get a start on the boss kills tonight.
Is anyone else experiencing a strange glitch where the number palette vanishes? Happened to me at least three times last night. Everything on it was still usable like normal and I could hear the sound like it should be there when I hit T to toggle it, but it was just not visible.

Yeah, that happened to me twice yesterday.

It was downloading for third time yesterday. I went to sleep and left the PC downloading. During night Windows update have restarted the PC. I lost again all the progress.
Amazing bad coded client. And still suffering the permisions bug everytime some .exe file is updated.
I really hope it includes all the updates up to it's launch time. I'm okay with them being a couple of weeks behind afterwards, but I hope they are putting in the effort.
Does this have something to do with the UAC? Disabling it completely is the first thing I'm doing after installing Windows and I haven't seen this error even once.

I doubt it'll launch with anywhere near the amount of content currently available on the Japanese server. They wouldn't be leaving themselves with anywhere to go with the updates.
Disabling a key Windows security component is never a good idea. I personally haven't had any UAC-related issues with the game though. Windows file permissions are not necessarily tied to UAC either.
Surprisingly big amount of games has problems with this. Plus I have my antivirus/antimalware/firewall etc. to tell me what shouldn't be opened. Never had a problem with UAC disabled.
Edit:
And ontopic - bumped has the translation of the new skill trees.
Apparently Edward (one of the community managers for the Phantasy Star series) said during PAX that they want to try to keep the gap in updates between 1 week and 1 month, but it wouldn't be the first time that he said stuff that didn't happen (for example, he said that the XBox 360 PSU servers would get better support and faster updates when the PC/PS2 servers were shutdown, that didn't happen).

How many runs did you get in? We only managed two runs in the 15 minutes it was up last night. Wondering if a third run is possible.
The neat part was both times it was an infected one and both times every single weapon/unit that dropped had mutation on it.
We managed to do three runs. And the Varder was infected on all the runs we did, so maybe it is supposed to be that way?
I was genuinely surprised that we were able to beat that guy in under 4 minutes...

So, I'm assuming it's kosher to talk about the English patch here since it's in the OP.
Is anyone else's English patch crashing the client on startup? I'm using the Aug 9 files and the only way I can run the game is to file check the client and get rid of the patch. Everytime I re-install the patch I get the same crash.

No problems here using the Sept 12 patched files.

Yeah I just fought a Ragne on the way to doing the Techer client orders. Zan is completely preposterous in its range, damage, and multihit ability. It's like you become a Dark Ragne and start throwing them projectiles everywhere, except they also boomerang back and hit for even more damage.
Found an awesome skill/mag calculator on the JP PSO2 wikiwiki site before it imploded. It's been updated with the new classes, shows the full stat progression for all the original classes/some of the new classes when you hover over the skill icons, and it has a built in google translate option.
Another great find, thanks! Will add it to the op.Found an awesome skill/mag calculator on the JP PSO2 wikiwiki site before it imploded.

And it only costs 18 PP!
Zan's only downside is that if the blades hit the ground (or a wall), they won't boomerang.
The other new techs are pretty awesome as well. Razan does a little cyclone that juggles small adds up in the air and the dark techs are fantastic in floating continent. Gimegid does a ranged focus beam on any add while Ramegid rains death around you. This update has far exceeded what I thought it would be.
