First post best post

this is a cute girl

>needing a copied build to do damage

Have super hard trigger on PSO2es. How can I make sure that people will join in?

Best girl.

HE COULDN'T GET A REGULAR BUILD SO HE GOT A GOOK BUILD

Once you finish the run it brings up a menu that invites 20 or so friends from your list. Putting recent players the top.

Triggers let you invite up to 50. If you don't have 50 friends it will also invite 5 randoms.

This is one cool Cast

Who the fuck still take this game seriously

I see a me

casts who don't mix parts are not cool

i don't like how this weaponoid takes the form of a newman female it's pretty insulting tbqhsmgha

Atleast she's a delicious slut

good taste

Yeah, I've been doing that with Intermediate and Advanced runs, but no one's ever helped.

So I'm not sure if someone will come for the SH one.

People don't care about lower difficulties since they can just do their own runs.
Triggers are the only things that matter since they're limited

2cat???

LMAO! 2CAT!!1

...

Oh, I see.

How do you get strong in PSO2es anyway? I'm having a hard enough time on intermediate, despite being level 65 and using my equipment from PSO2.
Elements seem to cap at 250, and that's about all grinding chips seems to do?
I don't think I really get PSO2es yet.

get lucky with rainbow coin scratch
welcome to the fucking hell that is mobile games

Max your level in es asap. The damage you get from (strong)weapons is a % based on mastery(rises with level).
Always use appropriate weapon for your class. For example only gunner gets TMG mastery.
Get good chips from the medal scratch :^)
Use a strong PA(from scratch). Dunno which ones are good but the best currently is elder rebellion for TMG.

...

How do I know which chips are actually good?

general rule:
the higher the star rarity, the better
enemy weapon chips are garbage even at 11*
tech chips are all shitty
passives are usually better than actives (black corner chips)

in depth:
check pso2es.swiki.jp/ for their modifier category (Group A-E), and pick the best of each category and boost element
some combos work really well together - (sara inflicts poison and raises damage, saga doubles damage on status effect, people sometimes prefer el ahda for this)
PA chips are a lot harder to judge at a glance, but right now tmg's ER is considered the best
ds's Illusion Rave, gunslash Kreisenajksbjfjhsdf and iirc td's oooorchestra are also good PA choices

You have some serious mental problems.

TASTY

HE SAID "OI" AT THE END

NOT "OY VEY"

WHY DO PEOPLE RUIN THEIR OWN WORK?

STOP IT

STOP IT

What should I do with extra chips? I've maxed Org Keratos but I have 3 extras.

Hey, it feels good blowing a load all over the place you know

why
eq boss chips are currency in the recycle shop

oh, okay, thanks

Can you use more than one of the same chip to double proc?

Anything good in the recycle shop at the moment?

...

you trade them for 4s receptor units that boost max element in es or shitty 10* weapons. one unit costs 20 boss chips
only one of the chips can be active at a time. wasted slot.

Its merely pretending

>Stack up coins to beat riggedkuma slots
>Didn't realize it has 5 try limit per day
I never liked the worst casino game anyway. Somehow this one is ten times more atrocious than lili roulette.

>4 wins
>4 200% from elder
I don't think it's possible to get something better.
Daily cap is 10. Resets 5am niptime.

When's the last EQ round of this Org Keratos event on PSO2es?

>properly affix units
>get a 60 element +32 13 star
>entire game is a cakewalk, no challenge left
>ultimate exists but it literally doesn't give anything
Why does this always happen? It's been like 4 years since release and they still don't know how to add content for people with the current top tier weapons/units to play in.

One boots week of playing and I'm out of content and beat the entire game. Nice MMO.

To add to this

With how easy it is to get 13 stars, and how they're handed out like candy to the point that even the most casual of casual can have a 13 star at 60 element, as well as the fact that they have data showing them that 99% of their player base is level 75.

They have absolutely no fucking excuse not to design content 13 star weapons. Not a single fucking excuse. It's inexcusable at this point not to.

Even the most casual of casuals are "beating the game" and running out of content. It's bullshit.

and yet we still have people going in mpas with ungrinded 11* and random units

>PSO2
>MMO

>le only open world clusterfucks are MMOs meme

...

...

Should i max charge parrying or i can easily get away with it at 3?

For Sword, it's fine at 3. 5 is really nice for positioning in dense groups of mobs, but you don't really have the points to spare unless you ditch utility skills.

The series always had major issues with content. Video game devs don't learn from past mistakes too well.

This games really fun when stuff is a challenge and mobs/bosses don't die in 1 hit or in less than 10 seconds.

However, for that to be a thing you have to not use stances, equip a 1-3 star ungrinded weapon, and use units that don't provide any offensive bonuses at all besides PP.

I'm not exactly sure why enemies are tuned for someone who's naked? But what the hell?

Intentionally gimping yourself and ignoring all forms of char progression just to have fun really fucking sucks.

video games in the phantasy star online series were always casual grindfests requiring 0 skill
if any, this is the one that requires the most skill in comparison

too bad they offered ways to skip nearly all of the grind so you hit 75 in a week or two, get 13 star gear in another, and only have austere to work toward from that point on
then you become another erper because the effort is barely worth it in the game's current state

THIS is the problem.
No skill infinite grind, ok that's fine
Except that you van just get 75 and a +30 60 ele element 13 star in less than a month then beat the game and have jack shit to do.

To add to this...
As I said, since they offer such fast easymode gearing and leveling it's time to design around that type of game.
Right now we have easymode gearing and leveling yet the game is designed around people taking 2 years to finish 13 star and level to 75, what the fuck?

Game needs to make up it's mind wtf it wants to be.

>the game is designed around people taking 2 years to finish 13 star and level to 75
How is the game designed around this

They don't add content that you can be challenge with such weapons for 2 years.

How is that hug rappy so big

I don't know, that's a little muddy at best. You could claim that for the more recent 13*, but when they added Ares two years ago having one back then didn't suddenly turn everything into easy mode.

They affixed like anything else, but god help you grinding them, and then getting multiples for 60 element? The slow XH EQ rollout aside pre-nerf Ultimate Nab was still pre-nerf Ultimate Nab

Yes, that's why I said NOW. NOW they're giving out 13 stars like candy with zero effort, yet not adding content to support these weapons power.

The "two years" thing threw me off. It's just an arbitrary number?

Yes, it's just a random number.
They hand 13 stars out like candy, then don't add content to support the power of these weapons for a very, very long time.
So the people who have these weapons have nothing to really do with them for such long extended periods of time and grow bored.

As they keep adding more and more piss easy ways to get 13 stars(handing them out like candy), as well as making them VERY simple, painless, easy, and cheap to grind to +30, the amount of people bored out of their mind increases more and more everyday.

We've gone too long in a majority SH difficulty based game. 13 stars exist, it's time for XH or even further difficulties to be a thing for every quest in the game.

Steamrolling through daily quests, featured, XQ, and non-28+ risked AQ really isn't fun. There's too much content that gives good things(collection file progress + lots of meseta) that poses no actual challenge because my weapon is too overpowered for said content.

The thing about the content that's actually "challenging" in this game is that it's less about your gear (although having a certain baseline level is important) than it is just having an awareness and grasp of how things work in any given quest. That's pretty much how it's been since the beginning.

I gave this game a try like one year ago. I grew tired of map recycling, but I enjoyed the combat system quite a lot. I didn't get close to the max levels, but would coming back now tire me with the same issues?

Yes, because the map recycling aspect hasn't really changed

I don't literally mean "challenging"
I mean there's a pretty big difference between "Whelp, I now 1 shot every trash mob and kill every boss in 10 seconds" and "challenging".

I just want something in the middle, which is what I had before I got a 13 star.

But I don't want to fuck myself out of RPG character progression just to have moderate challenge back, that sucks.

for like fifteen years*

>tfw i wish i could shit on Lilith in the discord for being a weirdo

Reminder that these are the people who are posting and sharing opinions on this thread now. These are the only people left playing this barren wasteland of a game with next to no content and nothing to do besides play barbie dress up and collect meseta.

Disregard all opinions posted here or take them with a grain of salt.

its not the same when i can't shit on them directly.... it felt so good shitting on them for having shit taste and being a complete weirdo

so just how bad is that team

Is there any way to increase getting Saki units or some way to farm them? Or am I stuck with doing bonus quests only?

Not as bad as this gen makes them out to be

wait for rare gigur triggers in casino shop

Oh? He drops them too? I thought it was the shock dogs only. I haven't tried the casino once since I started playing, mind giving me some pointers anyone?

Even at my most fucking lazy I would put enough affixs on there to get +70 atk of a stat.

Rappy slots are shitty slot machines
Black nyack is weird blackjack
Lili roulette is a roulette
Arkma slots cost a lot to use and are random but have massive potential wins like 100k coins
Until maint there are some casino super boosts scheduled. They stay active for 2 hours at a time and boost win rates/coin payout

There's zero excuse not to have at least 60 attack on units in 2016.
It costs like fucking 300k for 3 units?

>There's zero excuse not to have at least 60 attack on units in 2016
No content merits having 60 attack on units in 2016

>1 PM Yamato
Haha what
What a weird thing to log into

...

This is pretty much true.
Why is Sega such shit.
They have data showing 99% of players are 75
They hand out 13 stars like candy
Everyone is sitting around being completely overgeared for the content in the game.

>Caring about a literal who shitter

kek

>not wanting everyone at their best
shiggy diggy

If everyone is the best then no one is

They're not interested in keeping players around when there's always newcomers willing to buy AC.

Old players are the ones who buy AC

>I thought it was the shock dogs only.
Saiki units are part of the Tokyo bonus quest's overall drop table, they don't actually specifically come from Tagamikazuchi at all. There are places where you can encounter them in the wild on their own, and they will never drop a Saiki unit for you there.

Gigur Gunnegam and its rare version are the enemies it originally dropped from, and before the Tokyo bonus quests were added, they were the only source of them.

New players rarely if ever buy AC.
AC is generally from veterans wanting mags, skill trees, etc, honestly.
Like this user said:

>mags, skill trees, etc
Old players likely dump it into scratches

Mags and skill trees really do seem more like a new player (well, semi-new player at least) thing since you have them forever once you acquired them

No point in spending meseta on units when your team carries you every EQ.

That's an awful line of thinking and it's the type of thinking that SEGA advocates the moment they took a stance against the DPS meter.

they took a stance on it because of retards like deadblue posting logs and actively shitting on people while stroking his itty bitty e-dick.

So when is sega removing gear check, then? Cause the banning of the parser didn't really do jack shit.

Sega actually wants you to upgrade your gear
They produced those dumb Rappy tutorials telling people as such
What they don't want you doing is being a dick about it

nice slippery slope
