You can do Basic/Normal Missions, but you're locked out of other Affinity/Story Missions.
Additionally if your party size/members have some restrictions, that those restrictions are in place until you finish the mission.
Treasures around the world. Mechanical-type treasures (Skell/vehicle wreckage) often have them. There are a few you get as quest rewards too.

You'll want to level other classes eventually if you want to experiment with different options but the Striker class tree has really good weapons and arts that are tied to them so mastering them early is not a bad thing at all.
I'm fine with not going any other way if I don't have to. Im having enough fun with this class so far. I was just wondering if staying with one class is going to make the end of the story harder or anything

No, you picked one of the easier class trees to use (needs no augments to do fancy stuff), thus being good for beginners.
Awesome thanks. I never know with this game. One level 20 monster wrecked my party and another was super easy.

Outside of some class bonus at the end there's no real harm in learning other things after you reach the end of a class line.
You can master the class, take the weapons from that class and level up a new class while still using the old weapons/arts.

Part way through the fight
it will fly near the ground on its own. Aggroing it then just flying to the ground won't work iirc.
Bummer. Have to get a ton of augs for my skell before I can fight it then.
Thanks for the info
Considering most of Sharla's armour in the first game, as well as the designs of the Machina women and Lorithia, I'm not sure you should have been that surprised. But they definitely have shown a much more singular vision with the designs for this game.
Also, along with the one you mentioned, there's also a woman in the industrial district who laments about not being able to pull off most female armour; (her exact words are 'Oh God, I'm so old') and a Ma-non who questions why 'it's so wonderful to let female parts flop around, but not male parts'. At least they're honest.
Haha, I love the awareness. And yes, I remember Sharla's booby armor, etc, from the first game. I guess it just surprises me here because XCX looked a bit more grounded in terms of tone.
A little more grounded, but nowhere near enough to take it out of that realm, visually. Setting aside how bikini armour has found a loving home in far more 'grounded' settings than the still-very-anime X, MMO and MMO-influenced sci-fi/fantasy is essentially an eternal wellspring of tits. It's a conceit that's embedded deeply enough into the soul of the genre to be impossible to remove, regardless of how they experiment with tone.

Can basic missions be done multiple times? Also is the a good way to raise affinity with party members?
KittenMaster

There are support missions at the Division console after you finish the main story that will let you do repeat missions that raise affinity with party members.

Just so I'm sort of pacing myself properly, anyone care to recommend good levels to be at for Chapters 10, 11 and 12?
KittenMaster
Member
Does Reflect on Skell armor also apply to the ground character?
It's hard to say, around level 40-50 between all of them generally.

That works as a rough road map. I think I'm 34 and just finished 9. Time to do some questing I guess.
I would try that. Thanks!
If it's relevant to the post above, then it makes sense to just play around the early morning weather. Thanks!
Highly recommended this if you feel the need for some lv grinding. Lone lv56 Ganlion mech in eastern Oblivia that is easy, convenient, and safe for grinding purposes, requires absolutely no weapons/arguments customization. You do need some cash (for 2 stock Amdusiases) though which should be easy to come by anyway since you are already lv34. Warp to the the FN site, turn the corner, 2 E-scythe at the back (run if any of them missed) and this mech should go down fairly quickly, leave and return to skell, and then repeat. It is so easy that it almost feels like a cheat, and could bring you to lv50 in no time. By then you can turn to a new victim called Joker which someone just mentioned (not that it can't be farmed at lv30, it is just much easier if you have lv50 skells), who is also extremely good for class lv grinding should you need it.
Again, I would say only grind if you really feel the need (e.g. hit a wall during a main story fight), to avoid trivializing the story missions.
I'm pretty sure it's on your weapon inventory now. Have you checked it?
Yes I have its not there. I looked 3 times. I should clean it out though so tomorrow I'll sell all the duplicates I have.

Chapter number x4 is a good basic guideline.

I finally tanked a level 50 Xe-dom on the ground. I am happy with how my build is progressing even if doesn't really have much going for it yet.
Also, there is a strong love for Mia in the free report chat it looks like.

So hunting down all these probes sucks. I feel like I'm jumbled in some weird tangled mess. I think I must have done the Hugo mission if there is only one and it is needed to start Tobias' since I'm about to finish up his second one. Done all of Kirtsy's missions that I can without finishing these and unlocking all shops. Next I need to find some guy who's probably not still called Gua Shiro in the translated version.
Then that leaves two more storage probes to grab from the last two continents, then two collectapedias to fill out and then I can finally do Kirsty's last quest which could be anywhere since I can't find any info on it. I mean damn that's confusing as all hell. Getting the Ares 90 and making an Ether Blossom build is going to be a major pain in the ass at this rate if this is just the setup for it.
Edit: Can anyone give me a breakdown of the 'Go Sirho' quest line? I've done 3 affinity quests from the barracks that are apparently tied to it and no unlock, apparently there's another chain to do off of the manons and one call cooperation that chains into some others. Any locations or any of these and is that accurate?

Migrating from Dual Guns to Psycho Launchers was the best idea for my character I've had in this game.

You'll learn the meaning of it all after you finish them.

There's two mountain near the flying path, one of the mountain is standable, engage him with your skell normal attack, then lure him by moving slowly to the top of that mountain.
That's how I fought him with my ground builds, and you can do it with melee build too.

Oh my... I knew Ares 90 would be powerful, but I did not expect to one-shot Hartmut the Calamity.
And before anyone suggests anything reckless, I already have negate ether reflect.

Can somebody tell me what the English name of the arms company of the Ma-non is? Because the German name is quite a brilliant pun on multiple levels.
There's a figure of speech in German, "hieb- und stichfest" which means "airtight" in English. Literally, it's something about "hardened against blows and stabs", but you can read "stichfest" also as "(able to) stab hard".
The Ma-non's company is called "Lieb & Stichfest", and "lieb" means "dear" in the sense of "endearing", which perfectly fits the Ma-non.

I was destroying Yggralith in a 3 man team and the game just reset itself ._.
Any wordplay involved here? My knowledge of the English language tells me no, but then again I'm not a native speaker.

I know that much, but I don't think I have it in me to do the grind.

I think the last thing to do for someone who feels "done" with the game after getting an Ares 90 and isn't interested in grinding more or filling out percentages is to look up the strong/unique lvl 70+ tyrants and fucking wreck them.
Feels good to end the game on a power trip and seeing some more impressive enemies.

For what it's worth, people translated the original Japanese name 偽りなき真心堂 into Truthful Sincerity.

That's just a happy coincidence where German lends itself to some neat little wordplay like that. In some languages it works, in some it doesn't.
