I'm kinda curious to see what exactly has changed in the 8 months or so I haven't played this. Probably like a day's worth to download I'd assume.

[PhoenixFire]

So I wonder, is it worth downloading and getting back into this game again?

[R.A.V.S.O]

Well they also added a casino with 2 minigames, (similar to Sonic Adventure) basically a slot machine game and a shooting minigame that
feels like the trophy shooter game from Brawl.

since most of you have your old accounts you'll probably have tons of rare weapons/items in your inbox as we speak
(I had some for me too)
but you also get 2 casino passes which is basically free currency.

that and nearing December, PSO2's Ultimate mode will be released.

remember PSO1?

it had 4 difficulties, normal, hard, very hard, and ultimate,
from N to VH enemies had slow movements, and your standard RPG status ailments, BUT on ultimate, not only did the
areas change visually but enemies chased you and had OHKO moves sometimes, tbh it was a thrill,

same for PSO2, once ultimate is released not only will the level cap go up (possibly to 100) but old areas will have
quite the makeover,
(SEGA is also hinting of an even harder difficulty, traditionally speaking PS games tend to have a level cap of 200, and PSO2
is still in it's 70's, + a missing episode)

You guys still playing this?
WoW just made a new expansion so i probably wont play much. but i'm interested to play with some people here.
I've been subbed to PSO2 since a bit after launch. but my laptop couldn't handle it. so i didint get far.
Since i got a new gaming PC i haven't really spent anytime on it. but it would be fun to play with some familiar people.

[R.A.V.S.O]

I'm still playing this on weekends (college is taking a toll on my time during finals)

most of the english speaking community lies on ship 02, blocks [B-06] and [B-20]
just... mind [B-20] during the night, people get trigger happy with the explicit images you
can use as image-chat.

[Kiwa]

I think thats the same spot PSO world said back in the day. i believe i have to delete my current char to switch to that ship tho lol. not that it matters. my char isn't very high and i don't remember much in the game.

[KK20]

Because of hardcore nostalgia (and the fact that it's been a year), I've decided to download this again on my computer.

23 GB.
Just slit my throat while you're at it.

23 GB.
Just slit my throat while you're at it.

I just got a few odd looks because I'm reading this at the train station, and laughed a little too loudly I think hehe... That's alot o' data that is.

[KK20]

Amazingly finished downloading everything. Took about 8 hours.
And of course there would be a maintenance in effect.

RAVSO, teach me everything again D:

EDIT:
I found out that the game suffered those DDoS attacks last year. Now I'm getting a pop up window that just says [249] and nothing else after inputting my account information. Been searching for solutions and nothing has worked yet.

Spoiler: ShowHide

[R.A.V.S.O]

Oh CRAP XD I uninstalled mine to make room, but since you're going back to PSO2 I might just as well reconsider a download XD

as for the error 249...

try the following.

-use the proxy function on the PSOTweaker (if you don't have this, download it, as it also takes care of your patches)
-check your PSO2 related mail, most of the time (at least on gmail) it supports translation + they usually tell you server status
-site could possibly be on maintenance, wait it out a bit.

should you manage to get in and start replaying, my suggestion is, to use those EXP +50% & 100% items when an emergency quest is about
to start.

speaking of those.... DO NOT try to do the Shingeki no Kyojin EQ alone, that stuff is hard without team coordination XD

[KK20]

Oh, I didn't know you "quit" :\ Well, hopefully this can inspire others to get back in again.

I think my tweaker didn't download all the files or something. I remember running the "Check PSO2 for Updates" and it said I was missing like 3000 files, but it didn't do anything more. Just stopped.
It seems that with yesterday's maintenance they updated the tweaker and it's downloading the files now, so I'm going to see if that was the problem. Fingers crossed.

EDIT: HUZZAH that was it. Now I don't remember how to do anything anymore!

[R.A.V.S.O]

hmm if my memory serves me correctly, last time I played I believe I decided to keep
modding my class into Braver/Hunter,

fighter has some cool stuff but hunter's overall ATK is what sold it for me, (besides I look cool wielding a cloud-sized blade as a plus)

I'll probably get back to it once I'm done with my SQL hi-jinx next week

[PhoenixFire]

Well, I'm currently downloading it again as well, so this out to be fun..

[KK20]

And so it begins~

Learn how to play the game again with me :p

[PhoenixFire]

3.9 out of 24 GB so far... I'll just go ahead and set this up to download overnight =p

[Blizzard]

You guys are walking into your deaths. ;_;

[Soulshaker3]

I'm downloading it aswell

[KK20]

You guys are walking into your deaths. ;_;

Much blood was spilled after countless throats were sliced open, like cows in a slaughter house.

But yay, we got 4 people~

[PhoenixFire]

And on that day, four brave adventurers set off into the sunset to face their destiny, not knowing what was in store for them, but almost certain that it would ultimately end with their demise...


Sounds like the beginning of a epic game/story hehe

[KK20]

Soulshaker got on. Waiting for the rest of the crew while I do more client orders.
