>>3637359

But muh melee.

>>3637342
I keep wanting to play but I just can't get back into it.

>>3637486
its fun once you start going. you get motivated once you find a decent party of people to play with.

>>3637359
Forces period are just there to s/d hunters and rangers, lets be honest

>>3637694
FOmarl is a good class they can use pretty good weapons

>>3637541
It just never feels the same. I spent like 6 months straight playing the one on Xbox Live with voice chat and I just get into this one and it feels like an old hollow shell with barely interested half-playing half-not population.

>>3637752
You're talking about Phantasy Star Universe? Yeah I loved that shit I had it for xbox too. Was so pissed when they closed the servers because even though PSO is better i really loved that game. And the population gets better throughout the day, if you love the game you can get into it.

>>3637770
Nope, PSO for original Xbox Live.

>>3637694

S/Ding Hunters and Ranges is the minimum a Force can do, but J/Zing enemies, freezing enemies with Rabarta if you don't have an android on the team, nuking if you're a FOnewm, tearing through Vol Opt's first phase with Gizonde, and stunning some EP4 foes with Gifoie is very, very useful.

A good Force is basically the team's toolbox to control many different types of situations.

It's a cliché to say "it gets better with other people" but PSO really did.

It was a real fun romp to go through with friends, making characters, going through quests, sharing weapons, trying to get a good set of equipment, juggling mags, grinding up bit by bit, and then facing Dark Falz at the end.
Then doing it all again for Episode 2 and Episode 4.

And that makes it even more painful trying to get into it again, as an adult.
I don't really have a lot of free time, and what bit I do is spent on /agdg/, so I can't really keep up with people.
And when you play by yourself, everything's hollow. Combat's clunky. Item pickups are annoying. Environments become the same old same old. It's no longer an adventure.

I miss the old, colorful world. If only I could go through it one more time.

>>3637780
we should set up a /vr/ party or something, also its way more fun by yourself during a double XP week

fuck you op, this is why I said post it in that other thread so people can input ideas for a GOOD OP, fucking mmorpg ffslol

what is Phantasy Star Online?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rw6hosekixk

Its an OMARPG
online multiplayer action RPG

Science fantasy based, 4 player co-operative 'dungeon crawler'
you work as a team of hunters sent out from the fleet to protect, preserve or research information on government or private client missions to help understand why the native animal inhabitants have been turning vicious and attacking.
Team up and search the area for information and gather new items that will help you grow and explore new areas.

There are multiple classes and skills to chose from that each specialise in specific masteries, such as close range combat, ranged combat or offensive and support techniques .

born in the year 2000 and subsequently ported to other consoles and PC, the internet has brought together the global population, 6 billion players to find out just what is going on down on the planet Ragol.

PSO:BB is the last release version for PC, it spans 4 episodes, and has the most content and active community, please download the game and make an account at https://ephinea.pioneer2.net

Dreamcast and PC v1/2 can still play and connect on legit consoles and use the saves from 16 years ago if you have either a BBA adapter for Dreamcast or a dialup service.
The UK can use http://www.myfreeisp.co.uk/ to configure the 33k modem using a dream passport disk and plug straight in the socket and connect to https://sylverant.net/
Non-uk players will need to use a code breaker and create a network bridge to get online, its recommended to just play V2 the PC version, its the same game, ported to PC and can play with the dead DC community.
please note the v2 PC/DC version is not the same a PSO:BB that has much more content and active players at

IF
you already know about the series and have played before, but can't face the low level grind or simply don't have the time or motivation
SANDBOX mode was added just for you.
Use server commands to craft and create a character and items at the point you want to start at.

Perhaps you just want to cut straight to ULT lv 80 and a couple of essentials for ranger, or try out a specific build to optimise a cmode run or just simply recreate the lv 200 you had on other servers that no longer exist

you need to make a specific account for SANDBOX mode on Ephinea because they are segregated from the legit players, its only fair that the sandboxers get to play with other sandbox mode players.
for the full information and server commands check here

https://www.pioneer2.net/community/threads/is-pso-old-to-you-sandbox-mode-added.1154

If you REALLY like a challenge there is also HARDCORE more
Rules:
>If you die, your character gets deleted.
Exceptions: Scape Doll, Ragol Ring (but no Reverser, no Moon Atomizers; mag reverser still gets decided)
>You can’t play with non-hardcore players (hardcore character names are red).
>Double experience points.
>Double Meseta drop amounts.
>130% rare item drop rate.

You can see all the different modes and services that Ephinea has to offer here

https://ephinea.pioneer2.net/what-ephinea-brings-to-the-table

You can choose PSO2 style drops where everyone gets their own drops and no more redbox ninjas too!

http://pastebin.com/TR5t2SWb

>>3638274
Pretty much nothing outside of Dark Falz and some minor references. While PS is sci-fi, PSO is cyberpunk.

Is there a Discord Server that is not dead for anything PSO related going on or Ephinea related?

>that feel when Phantasy Star Online will never leave Japan again

it still hurts

>>3639515
PSO2 is garbage anyways

>>3639764
Yeah, it's pretty bad.

>>3638012
>OMARPG
Yeah, let's not use acronyms that nobody has used in the history of ever. Acronyms are useless and confusing if they're not well known. Saying 'online action RPG' is fine. (Specifying multiplayer is redundant, it wouldn't be much of an online game without it.)

>>3638274
Item names and a few returning monsters, mostly in episode 1.

>>3638301
>PSO is cyberpunk.

>>3639809
Bullshit, it's not a huge challenge but it's definitely fun and way more entertaining than "Auto-attack DDR clone of WOW #2103"

>>3640136
Cyberpunk bianca. As in a noblebright version of cyberpunk.

yeah it was fun, until they went batshit insane with episode 4 with anime otkau little girl loving gay faggots and boy traps, not to mention pets and the fucking awful enemy and area design FUKYEH AMERIKA AND T-REXLOL!111!

the core design and engine of pso2 is amazing, completely trashed and wasted in the hands of incompetent directors and a generation of pussybois that cant even tell apart their gender from their gentiles that want to run around in a competition to be the cutest little girl

it would have been less of an insult to the franchise to just add tab target auto attack hotkeys and make it a wow clone

>TFW you realize that a fan-owned server has done a much better job managing and administrating an online Phantasy Star game than Sega ever has.

Do mags work the same on this server as every other?

I was never good at raising those due to the stat balance.

>>3640353

Yep.

>>3640359
Should I even bother trying to make a optimal mag on my first go? I know babby ones will drop periodically.

>>3640363
its better to just target your mag in one specific area first depending on what class you choose.

>>3640363

Power and Dex for both Hunters and Rangers, and pump Mind for Forces. Def is a dump stat.

There are "ideal" ways to raise a mag for each class so you can hit max stats for a class, but the game is easy enough that you'll be destroying the strongest enemies long before you'll hit max stats. Focus on the stats I listed earlier and you'll be devastating enemies almost as well as someone playing a maxed version of your class.

>>3640368
>>3640376
Cool, also does this server have resets for stat increase items?

And since I'm in the mood, here's a breakdown of stats and if they're useful or not.

HP: Very useful. Pump it up with units for most of the early and midgame, since it matters more than Def does for surviving enemy hits.

TP: If you're going to cast techs, duh.

ATP: Essential for Hunters and Rangers, not important for Forces unless you're doing a dumb gimmick melee FOmar build.

DEF: Useful early (like until the end of Hard), then becomes a dump stat.

ATA: One of the most important stats in the game. Boost it the fuck up if you're going to be using a weapon for combat.

EVP: Dump stat. Most Ultimate enemies have so much ATA your EVP doesn't matter at all. Boss attacks usually can't be evaded with the EVP stat, so it's shit there too.

MST: Essential for Forces, since it determines how much damage attack techs do and how much Resta heals. Might want to bump it up as a non-FO for better heals if you really need them or to learn a high-level buff/debuff/Resta early, but otherwise keep it as is.

>>3640389

Yep.

>>3640391
how do you boost your stats exactly? say im a force but wanted to increase my ATA level, what would i do?

>>3640408
you can only get ATA through your mags dex stat at a ratio of 0.5 per point, so you need 2 dex for 1 ata.

You can also get hit% rolled on weapons, but other than that, there isn't anyway to increase it, it has no materials for it

>>3640408

Boost your Mag's Dex skill and put Arm units into the armor you're wearing.

>>3640420
>>3640416
im guessing you can only increase your tp and hp through mag feeding as well

>>3640427

You can't boost HP and TP directly with mag feeding. Besides leveling, you can boost HP and TP Materials and armor units.

Enemies will drop HP Materials, but TP Materials can only be gained in some minigames, like the gambling machines in the Gallon's Shop quest.

TP will also be raised every time you MST is boosted, so bumping up your Mag's Mind skill will also give you some more TP points.

>>3640435
good to know, thanks for the tip

>>3640408
>>3640416

you can use units like >>3640420
said, /arm namely Heavenly arm will give you a whopping +25 ATA per unit and they stack to a max of 4

but a heavenly battle or v101 is more important for the attack speed boost

The enemy design is the one thing that I like about episode 4. T-rexes and steamrollers out of nowhere are fun. As are the statue of liberty riding a sphinx and gun shop signs (because AMERICA) that shoot you.

If they're gonna shit up the plot and the setting then the least they can do is make the fields fun, and so they did.

they shit up the plot and the setting, and so they did.

fixed that

>>3642453
The fields are always shit, this game is anti-fun as fuck without the multiplayer aspect, its hardly a game solo.

Even fucking diablo is something that can be enjoyed solo, good luck with that in PSO. I really wish the game was something more than Dynasty warriors with hilarious carrot on stick drop rates, gotta love that lavis cannon 1/1194549 rate, I'm sure you'll get one any day now

>>3642473
fuck off single player is still fun and the quests are good enough to keep you interested

Jokes on you, I play sandbox mode and can just /item anytime lol

I've lived through the thousands of hours of legit rare hunts, I've lived through the non legit rare hunts using trainers 1hko warp and fast techs, learning cheatengine to exploit items from quests and all that shit,
now I can just enjoy the game however by making items and characters at whatever starting point
Starting over is the fucking worst when you already spent thousands of hours hunting, hacking and standing in >B/T rooms amassing all the rares, equips and multiple lv 200 characters.

BTW, the rare rates are like that because the game was designed to be THE online game of the new millennium, yes, 6BILLION players
and it encourages trading, the same reason section ID exist.

Yes, the game is designed around 4 player action noway?!
why would I play an online game solo?
and like >>3642515 says, there is the 1player story quests that are far more interesting than pso2's anime school femboi generic shit.


Are you just here to defend PSO2 now or what?
I dont even know why you're posting if you dont like the game and dont enjoy playing it

Looks like fun!

Are you guys mainly running TTF? I tried joining a /vg/ initiative for this years ago and they just ran TTF all day erry day, since they'd already experienced everything a million times.

I've never really played before and would love to just do all the quests if any of you are up for that, I'm sure I'll get the TTF fever at some point but it was annoying having 20 people online and not a single person was ever interested in doing anything else.

>>3644273
I haven't played before too so I'm up for quests, just tell me when you'll be online.

>>3644273
theres people who play TTF but a lot of people also do other quests.

>>3644074
You can change the game resoloution and enable 16:9 in the Ephinea launcher

are you bad enough dudes to grind for 70 straight hours and hit the double xp bonus?

>>3645983
I just hope they do some kind of Christmas event that either has 2x xp or gets people to play enough that it kicks in.

Is the game soloable or do I have to play in groups? groups are not a problem for me but how is the pop of the server?

>>3646479
Solo is boring af, sempai, but yes it's doable.

>>3646479
population can go from 50-100 on a good day, during an event can go up to 300 players not bad.

solo is fun, there's exclusive quests if you play by yourself

>>3646456
they usually do, maybe even some christmas themed quests as well.

>>3642618
>BTW, the rare rates are like that because the game was designed to be THE online game of the new millennium, yes, 6BILLION players
that's pretty ambitious. did the game even come close to the players on Diablo 2 let alone Everquest?

Is it possible to solo everything as a cast? I don't care if it's harder, I'd rather be engaged while I do shit and it's not like it matters how fast you progress considering the point of the game is to grind.

>>3640348
Thats not much of an accomplishment when Sega is worse at handling online then NCSoft even.

I like Sega and their games a lot but god damn they are the benchmark for incompetent online.

>>3648495
No, not even close.
But considering you only can have 4 players max per game it dosn't really matter.
Having a few hundred people on a private server is good enough still for this game.
I'm not sure if Sega ever released sub numbers though to accurately compare it to other MMO(ish) games.

>>3648495
Nah, but it did have around 500k during the official sega servers. Still good, nonetheless.

Does sandbox mode let you somehow create a MAG?

>>3649020
cast isn't too difficult to solo at all, especially if you're a ranger type

So what makes ephinea the go-to server exactly? I know people don't like schthack, but I don't actually know the specifics. Are these even related subjects, or is ephinea just that much better before scandal even comes up?

not to mention shithack still uses that ANTICHEAT.DLL lol that fucks up all your system processes and you cant even open firefox while the game is running
whereas soda is just a smart as fuck programmer who not only coded the server, put in all these additional features and anti cheat safeguards so the client machines dont need shit like anticheat.dll

>>3666531
It's great, it's nothing like classic Phantasy Star though. I'm playing now, if you manage to download in next hour.

>>3666153
It might not be possible with every server but there was definitely gamecube compatible servers made at some point.

I know schthack had them at one point, but they're probably as barebones populated as the DC ones now

>>3666904
I think they'd be even more deserted, dreamcast has a small but enthusiastic group of players that use online, the gamecube's modem is pretty uncommon and only supported like 2 games anyway.

Also, it isn't hard to set up your own private server for shits and giggles.

Yes, the DC and GC communities are tiny, and it can be hard to find people to play with. In my experience, if the sun is shining, good luck finding anyone to play with.

>>3669156
I'm just feeding my mag and studying for exams now. I'll be on most of the day.

/bone zone/ channel is me, Zardazz. Lv 27 ranger, let's do some boss rushes you guys

The community is small but everyone is friendly! Swap guild cards and hook up with fellow geezers and weebs, also if you're trying to trade me a rifle for a special sword hit me up!!

I missed this game so much, if you're thinking about playing it for the first time just do it!! The community is super friendly and it's got buckets of lore for you, plus it runs on toasters! I'm playing this on an old vodka display computer, no joke!

>>3670121
If enough people want to play right now ill make a /vr/ room

I really want to buy this game for Dreamcast, but, not being able to play it online just kills it.

>put all this effort into a character on ultima before i knew better
>too lazy to start over on a server people actually play on
god damn it
>>3670189

>>3669163
Why is raising mags so fuggin' comfy, bros?

I have several for each character, and I still occasionally get the itch to raise a new one. I think it stems from all that time I play solo because it's quite annoying to try raising playing with others unless c-mode.

>>3670910
I'm raising one now, about to hit the 4th evolution.

Anyone down to play a hard mode run through in an hour or so? I'll make a room, I'll call it "#9s Room,' or something along those lines.

Would love to hang with some /vr/ people.

>>3670189
Yep. No real point in buying it. If you wanna burn it to do some offline quests and runs, go for it.

>>3670189

I hate to admit it, but these guys are probably right.

Unless you are a hardcore hobbyist who enjoys collecting hardware and whatnot, just download for free and play. It will scratch the nostalgia itch.

If, however, like me, you find the BB version disgusting, then welcome to the dark side.

Protip: Hope you like to play solo.

I've never played BB (tho I did rinse the shit of the NGC version in local coop back in the day), is it playable with kb+mouse, or just controller ?

>>3673982
You can play with either. I prefer controller though.

anyone wants to play version 1 on dreamcast? i just started a new character and never played online despite owning the game since it came out. i just finished building a dreampi setup

>>3673982
Mouse control is a joke. I'm gonna go as far as to say it's not even an option. Lots of people play with the keyboard, but I recommend a controller. I use a PS2 controller using the Dreamcast PSO layout. (You can rebind buttons once you're in the game, so you'll have to create your character with the keyboard.)

>>3673982
Controller is probably best, but I like using mouse and keyboard for force since all those extra keys mean less managing what spells are equipped.

>>3674152
>>3674323
>>3674417

Thanks guys, I tried with the keyboard, it's a bit jerky since there is no mouse look, and way less precise than a stick. But that will do for now, I don't have any controller with me atm.

Also I remember a shortcut on the NGC version which allowed you to switch weapons rapidly, without opening the main menu. Z+Y IIRC, it would open a small window on the lower right corner, with quick access to weapons/items/spells on separate tabs. I can't seem to find it, does it exist in PSOBB?

>>3674436
ctrl end

I had a legit lv. 178 character in Schthack and I've been ruminating about joining this one after schthack wiped. I just have so much less free time now.

>>3674456
aww shit, I'm on a laptop, and ctrl+end is an unholy Fn combination.
Thanks anyway

What don't you like about BB? The only complaint I have about it is that it's based on the Xbox port and is locked at 30fps. Are there any quirks to V1 that make it worth playing still? I played it on DC when it was new but I was a kid and didn't know jack shit about it at the time despite playing it a bunch.

>>3674737
Just about the only things it has over the later versions are Hit materials and Status/Maintenance. Its drop rates are so horrendous that they make V3 and BB look good. And even then V2 is still better in every way.

But if PSU and PSO2 didn't tip you off already in the past 10 years, people are allergic to anything and everything new, and BB was never an exception.

They've already fixed EP4 though, we PS2 now, Earthmen plot twist and everything

>>3674436
>and way less precise than a stick.
Heh. Even with a controller there's no camera control. All you can do is hit your centre view button to switch to the direction you're facing. They really should have added camera control by the Gamecube version, or Xbox at the very least. The Xbox had dual analogue sticks, yeah?

>>3674462
You can rebind keys, m8. Check to see what ctrl is bound to in the menu and see if it can be mapped to something sane.

>>3674880
Drop rates are fixed ephinea and aren't nearly as annoying

>>3675129
The lack of camera control sure is a bummer, but at least it's easier to face an enemy with a stick, rather than WASD.
And I tried to remap the control, turns out you can rebind End. Even with some tools from Ephinea I couldn't assign another key.
I guess I'll try to find some cheapo 360 controller then, or just stick with the keyboard (which at least lets me play wherever I want)

>>3676574
sometimes console controller to usb adapters will be cheaper than an actual controller if you have any of those. my ps2 to usb one was $5.

>>3676597
Considering I'm 15.000km from home I don't have access to pretty much anything. I do have a crate full of controllers somewhere in my mom's attic.
I'll try to see what kind of second-hand shops they have over here.

>>3676605

If you meant 15,000km... well that's a relaxing swim. No worries!

The horrifying crisis of people posting bait in the lobby a few months ago (or was it a whole year already?) was important enough for the server owner to remind everyone to report them instead of telling the victims to play the goddamn game and not sit in the lobby and get triggered by words.

MODS ARE ASLEEP, POST RARE MAGS

just saw this, is this a good game for the most part and do a decent amount of people still play it? does it get patches and content updates? whats the multiplayer content? leveling, looting, groups/guilds? if it has a small to medium ammount of players, is it atleast a "tight knit" community? i just dont find the appeal of playing an MMO if like 20 people play it

>>3685828

>>3686415
thanks dude ill give it a go i guess, youre a pretty cool guy compared to most here desu. whats a good class to start with?

>>3687659
HUnewearl (lady space elf hunter) is the best for beginners imo (and one of the most versatile classes overall). unfortunately, you are a space elf in skimpy clothes. HUcast and RAcast offer more strength, sturdiness, and dignity, but can't launch fireballs. if you are like a lot of weirdoes on this site you may be tempted to pick the FOnewearl who is a cute young girl, and you will learn very quickly that this is a bad idea unless you like hiding behind your teammates

IIRC stats are affected by race, and gender as such
male classes have better strength and defense (hits hard and take harder hits) while female classes are better at techniques (space magic) and accuracy/dexterity (shooting things)
androids/casts get better strength, defense, and accuracy, can't use techniques, but are the only ones who can use traps
newmans (space elves) are better at techniques
humans are "balanced"

also androids and newmans have regenerating HP and TP, respectively. it only works while you stand still though and isn't really that fast, only really effective if you park your character in a cleared out room and have to go to the bathroom

Any experts on here? I need some advice, feeling pretty aimless in PSO.

Level 48 Purplenum HUcaseal and I'm not entirely sure what I should be doing. What weapon should I be trying to work towards? What quests should I be doing for money and XP?

Right now my best weapon is a M&A60Vise, is that my best option with hard mode drops? What quests are good for xp & meseta? I'd like to work towards getting photon crystals & materials but I have no idea where to start with that or even if it's within my reach at my level.

>most tedious part of the game.
Low level is the part of the game where you progress the most. Once you hit Very Hard suddenly you're stuck doing forest over and over again because you're too weak to proceed, or have to drop back down to Hard. THAT is tedious, I don't know how anyone can dislike the low level stuff where you can actually do whatever you want without much trouble.

>>3691850
I dunno why you were doing forest only because once I hit the lvl 40 mark I went straight to ruins with some buddies. Yes the enemies have ridiculous amounts of health (damn Dark Belra) and they can pretty much 2-shot you but as long as you're properly geared up and play online it ain't too hard.

>>3691850
>>3691972
By the way, what class were you using ? Because I can imagine it being a pain with a hunter.

>Joining a team as a support Force when there's a HUneweaerl or RAmarl on the team.

Feels good making them much less useful. :^)

>>3691972
>as long as you're properly geared up
How do you GET geared up? At level 40 you're lucky to have some shit level 20 armour with free slots, some shit units to put in those slots and likely to have no decent weapon at all. I'm lucky to have a Supressed Handgun, nothing else I have can scratch 'em.

And it's all well and good to say 'do it with some mates' but it's not as easy as all that on such a tiny server, is it? Unless you know people around the same level you're stuck hoping a stranger of comparable level will join your room.

>>3691995
thats why you only play a RAmar/RAcast or HUcast, instead of those gimmicky "lol I can solo shit but am useless in multiplayer" classes

>>3692078

But muh optimized solo build.

>>3692050
Seems like you're having bad luck because right now I'm using a 4 slot armour (not upgraded) and have a decent rifle and spread.
And tip: don't create rooms. Only join others.

i'm playing as HUmar and I've been stuck with varista for quite a while, so what are some better weapons for hunter?

>>3693419
Gun is just utility for Hunter. I prefer Zalure S-Rank or an Arrest w/ hit, depending on area.

Don't get too wrapped up in 'what is best'. You can easily solo endgame with simple shop bought charge weps w/ hit. The shit you find along the way is just gravy. After a while, you no longer even care to stop and check red boxes. Just another Dragon Sword or Justy or whatever, anyway.

>>3693553

DESU Charge Vulcans for a single target and a crowd-control weapon (Charge Arms or an S-Rank Needle for Ranger, a decent rare sword for Hunter) are usually going to be your bread and butter for most of the game.

Sperging over stuff like getting a Red Sword or something like it with high Hit, going on a Lavis or Psycho Wand hunt, or a maxed Red Ring isn't important for your ultimate success; it's just there to give you something to do when you can destroy most enemies with utter ease and need that little extra something to keep you going

>>3693960
>Sperging over stuff like... [a] Psycho Wand hunt

Oi! Fite me, cunt!

Goddamn Arm units make a huge difference. I have two Elf/Arm units on my level 70 HUcast and I can actually hit shit consistently now.

>>3694327

FOnewm has the bonus a Psycho Wand gives to RA techs by default and you don't have to grind for 300 hours to get one. :^)

>>3695091
Nigga, I ain't playing that faggot.

I have always played a RaMar, so I don't know the pain of inaccuracy, but low damage threshold on guns is my life...

>>3695482
RAmar is good though, high accuracy and good damage for ranger

I don't know why people meme on them, probably because they can't be a buff whore in groups without forces, but they still do better than RAmarl imo, maybe its the waifu factor, but people always overblow RAmarls way out of proportion, as if not playing one is some cardinal sin and mistake and you'll never be able to be relevant, when they actually have garbage damage to the point that even with 5 more levels of shifta and deband they still have less attack than RAmars

>>3695628
you can get level 30 j/z from weapons nigga who gives a shit

Also I'm the opposite, I dislike how RAmarls look, and even though RAmars do look a lil generic, you can make em look like an operator type instead of just a kawaii uguu~ waifu

That said though, just play w/e you want dude, if you want to play a RAmarl, go for it, they still good soloers and the stat differences in the end aren't really so huge that its a major consideration, its just that everyone hypes up RAmarls to fuck and back, as if every other ranger is irrelevant.

>>3695523
Get out.

It's like they designed Episode 4 to be annoying as hell.

>>3695628

I get that you don't like how they look but they are awesome for solo play. I accidentally made my dude look like Master Chief which i am not happy about but i'll be damned if it's not the most versatile class.

Besides having decent damage output, i can use Shifta, Deband, and Resta, so it's pretty hard to actually die on this dude. I just want some cool mechguns now.

Does anyone understand how mag evolution actually works? All the charts have an equation, like DEF, DEX = POW, SYNCH or whatever. What the fuck does that mean? Every time i evolve Kalki i want some cool wings but i get the stupid double-dildo ones that look like bird beaks

>>3696392
http://www.pso-world.com/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=1240 this is the best chart for non special ones.
And about your question: they are ordered in highest to lowest stat. In your example Def needs to be the highest, Dex and POW need to be the same and sync has to be the lowest.

>>3696392
>>3696550
Little thing I forgot to mention is that this chart is for ranger only

>>3695891

Are you having problems with the Zus? If you have a class that can cast techs, spam Gifoie while the others kill the critters.

Once you learn Ep4's quirks, its probably the easiest episode in the game in Ult. It doesn't have things like Baranz rockets, Indi Belras spamming their arms, Gran Sorcs' Megid 30, Ob Lillies, Meriacols instakilling you, Ill Gill or Sinow Zoa gangrapes, Deldepths in general, or Epsilon ohkoing you with his BS purple panels. I'd rather deal with Zus, Giratbulus, and Goran Detonators than any of that shit.

WEW

Wanna hear a sad story? I was maybe....12 years old. I had no idea how to really play the game and I never got past the sewers, I didn't know what grinding was so I sucked. After awhile I couldn't get further in the game so I for maybe a month started to text roleplay in the hub lobby with people. We had a whole RP group of like 25 people...what the fuck was wrong with me?

I'll never forget this song because it was ALWAYS playing when I RP'd.

If you need some extra cash, play Very Hard or Ult TTF.

Pick up the armor, shields, and non-Force weapons Vol Opt and Dark Falz drop in their boxes, then sell them. You'll make a ton of money that way, especially if you sell strong armor and weapons with attributes. The money you get at the end is also a great bonus.

After two VHard TTF runs while using Charge Vulcans on the bosses, I went from 960000ish to the max of 999999 doing this. Make sure you have lots of room in your inventory, tho.

>>3697812
I honestly can't tell if serious, but had a good laugh either way.

>>3699020

So what's the meta strategy for getting money then?

Anyone gotten any presents yet?

>>3699028
Laughing because everyone already does this, and has since the day they started playing.

It's common sense if you need cash to pick up armor, shields, and maybe ???? weps to sell to get your bank up. There is literally no other legit way to make bank than this or finish an easy, higher payout quest quickly anyway.

But if you want items to sell fast, the box room in PW3 might yield faster returns. Not sure myself because Meseta is pointless unless I need to spam VJAYA for LSB or something. I certainly don't go out of my way to farm it, even back when I was raising MAGs.

So the bad news is that you can use it as a controller but not a keyboard. At least, that's what my own testing shows with this:

http://mayflash.com/Products/NINTENDOWiiU/W012.html

On the Gamecube, the keyboard part of the key-troller only works when plugged into port 4, but I tried ports 2 and 3 of the usb adapter as well to no avail.

It simply doesn't recognize the white 2nd dongle that carries the keyboard functions at all.

I don't doubt that some hobbyist who knows enough about electronics could figure something out to get it working because there exists a ps2 keyboard to Game Cube adapter that does the reverse. It came with the Datel Powerboard.

So it goes.

tl;dr nah nigga

Is there any feeling worse than messing up your mag?

All those hours gone.

Seconding this. As long as you have twins and at least one other thing, no one cares.

I guess you could survive without twins if you're a force. You'd be a nutcake to go without on a cast though.

Mechguns are fun once you get a Battle unit. Something about going John Woo on futuristic glowing aliens is rad, even though the combat system is clunky.

Double sabers and daggers are awesome too. Break out an S-Red's Blade or Twin Brand and go to town on some bitches, meta be damned.

impossible to get points in defense, the most efficient way to roll most mags is to just feed antidotes and anti-paralysis to them, will pretty much never level your defense.

Don't fully commit to the min/max of it til its in its final form, then do w/e the fuck you want. Even if you are a force and don't want the dex most mind shit will reduce defense anyway

>>3702190
I want to just say Ep II in general, especially the enemies in the last stage

Yeah, Ep. 2 gets a lot of flak for being cheap, but it really is a lot of fun once you find your groove.

>>3707239

PW4 runs (and the Tower in general) are fun as fuck. Too bad nobody wants to do it unless you have a Skyly that can make the lobby.

Seabed in general is balls hard and is the real end-game area in terms of difficulty. Desert is a joke compared to it, though some Ruins quests can give Seabed a run for its money.

I even took it a step further and made my killing machines as thin as possible after noticing that larger characters had clipping issues where they could get caught on rocks and doorways and things.

>>3710075
Yeah, I usually go for tall characters but made a midget bot, mainly to take up less screen space with the game's poor camera system. Brings out the practicool, it does.

>>3710067

There's plenty of short and cute FOnewearls and short and slutty HUnewearls on Ephiena. The RAmarls tend to be on the cute and short side too, but there are some exceptions.

Reminder that her boyfriend is a backup of an AI from Pioneer and that Vol Opt is also one of its companion AIs, so when she's fingering herself, she's fingering herself to this.

I play an unfeeling robotic murder machine that looks like a little girl who isn't entirely practical or fanservice-y.

>>3710612

My RAmarl is a mix of serious and fanservice. She's decent-sized instead of the tiny ones you usually see and has a neat outfit, but she has her midriff exposed and her face isn't too serious.

>>3710626
I play RAcaseal so most would consider me a cancer.

>>3710628

Min-maxing "MUH META" faggots might consider you cancer, but I've never seen a RAcaseal get shat on for being a RAcaseal. In fact, I've seen several very-high leveled ones running around and massacring enemies in Ult.

Anyone else like enemy parts weapons? There's usually more "optimal" weapons using the same effects they have, but there's something really fun with using repurposed Baranz parts to launch Charge-powered rockets at enemies, slicing foes to bits with S-Red's Blades, or Demon'sing with a sweet Bringer's Rifle.

It pisses me off when you try to do this with other people. Especially the three in TTF. Just let me confuse them and run! Stop attacking them and creating another target for them that will keep them alive and you dead!

>>3712528

I think people are too used to killing them and not letting them deal with each other.

Confusing them is fun, but most of the time either some newbie ruins it by running next to the Garanz or some l33t pro kills the Garanz with his TJS +30 or 70 hit Charge Arms before you even have a chance to shoot the confuse trap.

>>3712528

This is why I hate playing with pubbies and only want to play with people who either I have played with before or that I know have finished C-mode.

It's not even about the meta. It's about me not wanting to have to use every Moon in my inventory to keep some worthless fuck(s) along for the ride only to be blindsided because someone did something completely un-calibrated to the current situation. And then told that no one has any Moons and to just take a pipe. Fuck those guys. Fuck them doubly when they cause both of us to die with no pipe set and we have to run back all the way back through the stage to the room where it all went to shit.

One time, I was playing with someone who kept attacking Ult Falz despite him having another players' soul. Obviously doing more damage faster then that player could recoup with his charge mechs, and killing Falz just after that player died. Thus robbing him of the exp. What a piece of shit. I would have been livid had that been me. Like running around my house with my hair on fucking fire. What an intolerable douchebag.

Are VR parties a thing? Ive been trying to come up with a way to do vidya weeks or weekends, where anons can all play a given game together like its release.

This of course without introducing things like voice chat, as that can go very bad very fast. Would love to iust have comfy threads of everyone reporting their progress and struggling with the same bosses etc.

Would just have to pick a time and preferably a lobby. Then it's up to /vr/ to decide whether to join or not. Weekends would logically be the best.

>tfw I want to beat EP2 C-Mode only so I can get an S-Rank Needle for free and save 15 PDs.

How do I play online with the GameCube version? I have the broadband adapter. Does it need to be a wired connection or can I use wireless?

>>3713453
I use both, depending on what I'm doing and which version of the game I'm playing. It's not a simple explanation for text only.

If you plug an Ethernet cable directly into both your modem and the BBA, you will be able to connect to most servers with the NOT Plus version. To use Plus, or to connect to a server other than Sylverant, you should connect the Ethernet cable from your BBA to your wireless device and then run Mr. DNS or Dr. DNS (out-dated now). To connect to your own server if you ever decide to set one up (it's easy and fun, but I am not explaining this here), you need to connect the BBA to the hardware hosting your server, be it a laptop, desktop, whatever and use NOT Plus after making sure that any other internet connections have been terminated. It will hang if you have a wireless connection or another Ethernet cable plugged into the server device. Log off before connecting with the game.

This is just a general overview without specifics, but the details are not hard to track down. Hope to see you online, eventually!

>>3713625

Thanks a bunch.

What is the difference between the Plus and non-Plus version, and why is the former more restricted? Doesn't sound like a plus to me.

>>3713680
Plus included 3 Episode II quests and removed the online double save that is theorized to lead to memory card corruption. They also made it so you can dodge Belras by standing still, which is a glitch that was fixed in NOT Plus... An earlier release. Go SEGA!

>>3713707

Specifically, it adds the Tower quests.

>>3713453
I don't know how much time you have invested yet, but I would recommend backing up your save data every once in a blue moon. While starting over is fun, I would be quite upset to lose all my current characters which have taken me thousands of hours of play thus far to build.

If you have the BBA, you need to spend like $15 on an SD adapter and a 2GB SD Card. Get the PSOload and GCMM programs and you're in business.

>>3713707
So with Plus I can all online content offline?
