Uh, I'd hold off on that. We're in the beginning of a 15 hour maintenance and still waiting for the ~4gb episode 4 patch to hit. Not sure how much data will get outright replaced or if it's all expanding the install footprint.

15 hour? Approx. the time needed to download...i'm ok.

No, Sega IDs don't have to be in Japanese. You probably want to paste the error message if you don't understand it.

Patch server is back up now. Still about eight hours of maintenance on the schedule. Kind of debating getting some play time in the morning before work.
Thanks again for this piece of advice. For some reason I only had stones for 2 11* units, so I'm currently running in a 2/3 saiki set, but having to look for one more beats having to look for 3.
Hopefully Story Board will have some nice drops as well.

I would have personally saved those stones for Ofstia weapons (as they're needed there too, in a not-insignificant quantity). Those stones are the only things keeping me from a second Ofstia at the moment.

Graphic update comes together with the PS4 version afaik, April 20th.
Bonus quests are awesome, here's what I've got for a ~4 minute long super easy silver bonus quest (with boosters, but still!).

Mikan was dressed appropriately for coldsleep.
Didn't get a chance to really mess with anything since the servers went up at the time I'm normally getting ready for work.

I'm not using the tweaker/patch.
Okay, I'm done for today.
I was able to get Summoner to level 35 with tickets/COs, unlock and clear all Tokyo quests and clear the whole 4-1 story (or so it seems, since the last panel gives me "wait until the next piece is available" message).
My Episode 4 impressions so far:
- I like the new title screen and interface. They look fresh and... new.
- Have yet to play Summoner, but I have quite a lot of 8-10 star eggs.
- I have mixed feelings regarding Tokyo - running through rings is fun, but on the other hand soloing that area is quite boring, since it's very big and you spend most time running from place to place.
- Train Gidhoran is a fun boss, although he's so big that it's hard to tell what to attack.
- I like the idea of bonus quests and drops/xp aren't half bad either. They seem to be a really good way to level up quickly without relying on MPAs/EQs.
- The story is kind of weird so far, but I guess it has potential to get interesting down the road. I didn't expect them to connect Earth and PSO2 the way they did it. Now I'm curious to see this week's episode of the anime.
- I don't like the Story Board. Maybe it'll change later, but in 4-1 you're basically standing on the bridge watching cutscenes in order (and doing one story mission + a few regular ones to unlock next cutscenes).
All in all I had fun, but the question is, as usual, will the added content be enough to not get boring after a few days/weeks.

Where's the mod to replace the Tokyo music with City Escape?
StarCreator

I've thought for a long time that they should make music discs usable in field. It's fun -and- creates new economies!
I only use the official launcher. I don't use the English patch.
I would totally stop selling music discs the second I get them if theyvwere usable outside my room.

I might have a look into warframe for a few weeks until the patches and english story have been updated on PSO2. Missing Naberius already lol

If you told me I had to hammer into B020 on Ship02 last month I'd say you were nuts, but here we are.
Ponpo, are you playing or just scouring the Internet for PSO2 related things?
In other news, I haven't seen a full server in a long while:

Please, i'm not scouring!
they just show up in twitter feed, I haven't played in a couple of years (._. )
You should totally start playing again.
On Ship 1.
If anyone's interested, trophies for EP4 are very easy to get:
- Summoner to lv 30
- Clear the EP4 story quest
- Defeat Train Gidhoran in a sp area
Took me 15 minutes total:

So, is there a way to switch between Ep 4 and ep 1-3 from the game or do you have to constantly switch by going to switch ship?

Been playing PSO2 on and off for a while, finally getting into the game seriously again, and i'm wondering if there a "gearing up" guide involving end-game equipment with the pyroxene shop? Playing with the tweaker and english patches and no knowledge of japanese, but the weapons lines and their respective pyroxene stone drops is confusing me on which stones to look for, for different weapon lines. I've been able to narrow it down to most of the 13 starred weapons requiring EQ Falz bosses, Mining Base Defense: Demise, and Ultimate Quests, although it's still a little tricky with quite a few stones left untranslated

It's the only way.
The endgame weps are currently the Austere, Ares, Ideal, and Orbit weapons.
- Ares drops from Anga and can be gotten by trading in rocks dropped by Anga. They're weaker than Austere but by no means bad.
- Ideal is the trade in 13* from Challenge Mode. They have the boss killing latent and go well with boss killing weapons like rifle or knuckles.
- Orbit is from TDemise and trading in stones. They have a latent that increases PP regen when sheathed to around Te's PPC making them fantastic for getting PP back in a pinch. Good for damage too.
- Austere, which are the strongest weapons, are gotten from Zieg for a whole bunch of rocks. They require nero, caligula, ult area rocks, XQ tier 3 rocks, photon boosters, excubes and a corresponding 13* Invade series weapon. Its a hell of a grind but you'll have the strongest weapon in the game.
- You'll also want to do this more than once so that your weapon is at 60 element. 60 element is important, it'll boost your damage a lot. Doubly so if you're a Force.
Honestly the more important part is having good (usually saiki) units with 100+ s/r/t-atk in affixes.

Affixing is still a tad bit complicated to me, and i have had very bad luck with unit drops. Using a cheap 10* unit set that dropped from several Emergency Codes and it's still the best i have so far

I have only logged from time to time to clear a few matter boards during the last couple of years. Every time I see all this crafting, 13*star weapons and challenge/extreme quests/advanced quests I get discouraged and can't get past my Lv 53 stump since then. Is it possible to play the game without worrying about that stuff and just coast through missions only picking up weapon/armor drops from the enemies? I'm interested in Story Mode and soloing.
I wouldn't worry about it if you're playing casually. I cleared the whole story with 12* weapons and 10* units. To be honest story missions are much easier when you're lower level and have some decent 10* than on lv 75 with mediocre equipment.

Thanks. I'll try switching to Fi/Hu from Hu/Fi as that feels more fun to play now.
Definitely get Iron Will and Automate for your Hu, especially if you want to use it as a main/sub class for story missions and you don't have great equipment. Those can get really hectic and they scale to your level.

You could always hold on to it until recycling *13 weapons becomes a thing.

How are forces in this current meta. I don't think the other classes do much for me since they raped the gunner. XD

Are forces a good choice for solo play?
I enjoy the ranger but I'm at level 67 and starting to get a little tired of the attack repertoire, its very simple and not varied enough.
ChickenHunter
Member
Force is excellent at solo. A FoTe can be self sufficient in all situations and FoBr can have great burst damage and bossing potential through use of a Bow.
Though if attack variation is what you're looking for; Force isn't much better. You use the same set of techs for most situations. And most of the variation comes from having specific weapons for specific tech uses.

Forces are very nice for solo and team stuff. Just have to get use to the incredibly low HP and weak defenses. However if you're coming from ranger, that won't be something you're unfamiliar with.
Though I agree with ChickenHunter about the lack of variety, or rather.. only a few techs are worth it for an average gameplay with everything else is being junk or highly situational. You end up creeping back to the usual suspects for techniques very quickly when you see the gap between them and other stuff.
Compound Techs are pretty fun though. They always and still amuse me.

Call me stupid, but I was really hoping that the PSO2 anime would pick up this week, since they started hinting at the connection between the real world and the game last week.
Well, that didn't happen and we got another episode full of typical anime tropes (and it will be the obligatory onsen episode next week...) with literally 2-3 minutes in the game world.
If this was a 60+ episode series or even a 24 one, I would be much more forgiving - I get it, you need time to establish the setting, make us care about the characters etc. But in a (I assume) one cour anime? Using almost half of the episode for something completely unrelated to why people want to watch it in the first place? A really odd choice.
I'll keep watching, but seriously, at this point it makes me want to play the game less. Mainly because how much I was expecting to flesh out the in-game Episode 4 story.

Well, in a way the anime truly is like the game, with them drip feeding what people actually want. :3
