Update and maintenance notes translated and posted on bumped!
Sorry it took so long ><
Ricardo has posted the full Excube/Photon Drop Shop listings, which can be found here.
Edit:
After clearing all Ruins quests I have to say that the design of the new field is top notch. The main boss, on the other hand, is rather easy. That fight was MUCH harder with 3 random lv 40 people without subclasses...
Anyway, 13 new screenshots in my minus PSO2 folder:

Nope, not having that problem, ezodagrom. You might wanna do a file check.
Oh, and since we're plugging screenshots... Here's mine: https://skydrive.live.com/redir?resid=2285718DCE0CBB9D!175&authkey=!AGwfBXXzWWVsC3s
There's a lot. Though I've yet to take pictures of the ruins...
It's interesting that they design encounters on the assumption of rather weak players. Makes sense why encounters just get rather piss-easy when you're running with players with high-level subclasses, tweaked out skill trees, and X soul + tech/power/shoot III on everything.

The exp requirements from 25 to 40 haven't been changed, but since September or so the lvl 20~30 range is alot better than before.
In this lvl range, there was only the hard mode forest quests and 1 caves quest between 20 and 24, and the remaining caves quests and the desert quests between 25 and 29.
Now, between lvl 20 and 24 there's also tundra and mines in normal mode, and between 25 and 29 there's also the skyland and ruins normal mode, and the forest, caves and desert free fields in hard mode (these free fields used to require lvl 30, they now require lvl 25).
Already did a file check, still have the issue. It's weird that the shadow momentarily reappears when I switch clothes (during the brief instant that the character has the low quality grey model), once the character is loaded, the shadow disappears again. This is also only affecting my characters, shadows show up fine in other players characters.
Right now it's late, I'm about to go to sleep, but tomorrow I guess I'll try disabling Anisotropic Filtering in the graphics drivers, I doubt this is causing the issue though.
Basically what ezodagrom said. They've also drastically lowered the CO goals for the lv cap CO's so it isn't such a grind.
As for the Matter Board, the first 5 pages are pretty useless. Once you get to the 6th page though the drops start to get good. Most have 3+ abilities in the lv 2/3 range you can either hoard to add abilities to your equipment or sell on the player shops for some extra meseta. Near the end of the 7th page you unlock a story quest that takes place in the City map and has a Ragne for the final boss.
Items you get from it aren't bad, you get access to at least 3 new NPCs as partners and, like Kill said, to a mission with Ragne.
Don't expect to 100% them all before the december update though, I've killed a total of 50+ Quartzes and Vardhas and haven't got any of the 4 items from them...
One can only hope that the "endgame" content that Sakai was talking about before will actually be challenging.
Have you tried switching in game shadow settings?

It figures, I went out of my way to take screenshots of my negative experience to go and my sudden levelup from mid-44 to mid-47, and it turns out interface was turned off so nothing I was actually trying to capture was captured >.>;

I remembered about it and enabled GUI
From 46 to 50 by just teleporting to Floating Continent when Killthee was killing something. All this leveling exp is a total mess.
So far I've tried messing with the graphics settings, disabling anisotropic filtering and catalyst AI in the graphics drivers, deleting pso2.exe, deleting the user.pso2 file, deleting a file that was inside the "Temp" folder, none of that worked.
Afterwards I tried logging in with my sister's account in my PC, the shadows for her character are perfectly fine. Tried logging in with my account in another PC, shadows are broken. So this is not affecting my PC, it's affecting my account. o_o
This is really weird. :\
EDIT: Turns out this is happening only with certain clothes, some clothes have shadows, others don't. It's possible that this may be affecting only AMD/ATI cards.

My PSO2 session got cut short tonight, but this pretty much sums up what happened in the time I was able to play.
Found a YouTube channel with a couple of Time attack guides. The Forest video shows the shortcuts in A1 and A2 while the Lillipa video seems to be missing the shortcut in A2 but it gives a basic guide of the quest.
Few things:
The SEGA ID registration has been down for the past few days for people outside Japan which lead to speculations about the incoming foreign ID block. The site is working now for everyone, false alarm.
As you probably all know, the trailer for the 2nd part of the "Destroyer of History" update has gone live a few days ago. Because both Ricardo and me couldn't do a post on it on bumped I'm linking the PSO-W thread with information from the movie.
Am I the only one who find it stupid that the new 10 star units have awesome 4 part (3 units + weapon) set bonuses (+90 to all stats as opposed to +45 without a weapon), but while the units themselves are really good, the weapons are terrible? I'm not going to run around with a Vardha Double Saber which has 292 dmg on +10 while my current one has 553 dmg...
In other news, I've started Phantasy Star Portable 2 Infinity on the PSP and found it really weird that so few weapons from the original games were transferred to PSO2. That, plus I'd really love if the new weapons were put into the current classes instead of making us level other ones from scratch. Also, it's really weird, how the PSP2 fights are much harder than the PSO2 ones. Loving the game, though.

Axes for Hunters please...
I actually first noticed that the other day when I used your NPC. He switched to the bouquet rifle and I think he might have used weak bullet before switching back to the daggers.
Another batch of videos, Desert Hard.

We are not blocked ^.^
And I thought that dying a few seconds before Dark Aragni and not getting 20k CO xp and 25k kill xp was bad luck...
We were doing the City Point Emergency today with Zyrusticae and some random player and crystals popped near the end. We were able to protect them and proceeded to the rendezvous point with other players while having 2 minutes on the clock.
After that Dark Aragni popped but we got kicked before killing it and triggering cross burst, because we were 16 points short of the 500 required before the time ran out.

That's what you get for not having 4 players with Weak Shot!And I thought that dying a few seconds before Dark Aragni and not getting 20k CO xp and 25k kill xp was bad luck...

Aragni spawned 10 or 20 seconds before time ended, even if we had 12 players with Weak Bullet we wouldn't be able to kill it.
Edit:
Just spent an hour tuning my character's auto words. Be sure to try the upgraded NPC partner!

Good/weird loot today. Just as soon as Keii left, after being the only one obtaining Ragrants from rare Crys Draal (D, a Code Avoid happened. MP and Jenny were close to ruin it, but in the end it brought me <3<3<3 Rear / Luxe Soir <3<3<3. Only leg unit left from that set.
Then we went to ruins, and both got, with only one run of difference, Ruins Charm, the third best sword of the game. I can't equip it and Jenny don't like swords. Shouldn't be so uncommom if we both got it. Also we fought a rare Zeshrayda, who drop shitty ranger PA, and Bantha, dropping nothing.
Meanwhile, everyone got Megiverse but me. And a bunch of others 8 and 9* things, whereas I didn't got anything over 6*.
But I got Luxe Soir, so I'm happy. And not only that, but Dodo was in god mode and grinded it from 0 to 10 without a single fail, just 47.500 meseta and 30 grinders. And then he affixed from scratch Ragne soul and Technique II to both Luxe Soir. So amazing.

So jelly.
By the way, since our team has like 40+ inactive members who have their PSO2 accounts but have left before the English patch and since this thread went to community it gets next to none exposure I had an idea yesterday - create a thread showing what new features/content were added to PSO2 since the release.
I could just update the OP, but since no one beside us currently playing is going to read it anyway, making a new thread seems like a good idea.

I admit, at first I was rather disappointed by the direction they decided to take with the Ruins music. But it's grown on me, and now it's one of my favorite combat themes in the game. So have a recording I did:

That was my first though when I first played Ruins. Music seemed weird and even misplayed.
But now I like it.

I was just recently wondering if any news has come out with an update on the official english version.
And I admit that until I just read your post I did not know the english patch was released. I have not made time to keep up with PSO2 since I stopped playing about a month after release.
Nothing new for the official English version. They demoed it back in Sept at PAX Prime and repeated that it would launch in early 2013.
After seeing this, I've decided to make the thread when I have some time this week. Stay tuned! I'll probably write a list of things to include here, so that anyone can comment on things I forgot about.
Are you still on? I can hop on right now to invite you.I've been trying to find someone to invite me to the gaf team all day.
I'll be on for the next hour or so, my char name is Xarielle and my player ID is Xarielle
Sent you a friend request.
I was afraid they were gonna do something like that for the costumes.
I wonder how they're gonna handle transactions. I can't imagine Sony would let them bypass the PSN completely so it'll be interesting to see how they do it.

How many updates have come up since my last post?
Well your last post was twenty minutes ago so..... one : P
In all seriousness, there's been 2 this month counting the one released tonight. The first one added the Ruins field and implemented some very good tweaks that came from player feedback. Tonight's update add's a new Story chapter/Matter Board, new costumes, and removes the Halloween event to make room for the 1 Million Arc's event.

Wow, haven't seen that thread lol. Is there any new blood in the team?
A couple of new people, but I can't vouch for if anyone is sticking around on a regular basis since I haven't played much these past few weeks.

So, I haven't been the only one
That's good to hear. I might get one tomorrow and/or Thursday since I'm off of work to see what's new. That and I miss feeling like the little brother of the team lolPost containing the details of today's #PSO2 update is up on the bumped blog - http://bumped.org/psublog/pso2-jp-destroyer-of-history-update-part-2-21112012/ Now for the new FUN/Scratch content, but that will take a while.'
Edit:
The new AC/FUN scratch post.
Edit:
The new AC/FUN scratch post.
For everyone doing the new Matter Board - you need to have all Zeno's COs cleared to trigger the first yellow node and if I'm not mistaken, unlocking some of the Zeno's COs requires to have the C5 node on the second board cleared. New COs show for both Echo and Zeno after that.
Been meaning to get back into this. Reinstalled it like, last week or so? Because it kept erroring me when updating. Did actually load it up (and wept at my still lvl 18 character) but needed to fiddle around with the settings so I quit out, tried to load it back up and gameguard error lol
