You're getting so far ahead of me, KK20. >.< You'll have to help me catch up. Maybe this weekend.

@DigitalSoul (regarding the Shoutbox conversation:) I'm pretty sure that there's a class that combines Force-magic with close-combat weapons. That might fit your playstyle if you like using swords and stuff. I think you have to unlock it, though. It's called a Techer, I think. I'm not completely sure, though.

[KK20]

Not sure what I can do though. There are some orders where you have to do it with a specific AI partner only for example. You'll need to accept as many orders as you can when we do this.

Yeah, I guess I need to just take more time to get caught up myself. I'll see what I can do.

[R.A.V.S.O]

I just jumped levels by doing the valentine's EQ missions, also, the counter on the left of the campship has some daily quests you can do for extra EXP.

If you still have those EXP boosters, use them during Emergency Quests, if done properly it's a guaranteed level up on a run.

@KK20, Really? that sucks D: I played as a braver until I hit lv 25, reverted to Hunter (in order to wield weapons needed for a certain quest)
and all I need to do to unlock fighter is kill certain bosses with hunter weapons (boss level must be 21+)

ALSO: you CAN wield certain weapons that are not from your class as long as such weapons says "equippable by all classes"
basically there is a katana you can equip even though you're not a braver, or a rifle you can wield even if you're not a Ranger, however to use their
respective photon arts, you MUST have that weapon's class as main or sub at least.

so for example, if I were still a braver, and found a rifle I can equip, unless I have Ranger as my subclass, I wouldn't be able to use it's PA, I'd only get
the rifle as is.

O, I'm finally back up and running, I'll be on today for most of the day

EDIT: seems I had to do some more updating first, I'll be on in a few

[KK20]

I'll be on and off sporadically today. Have to meet up with partners for project and chauffeur my parents somewhere. Currently on as of this post.

[R.A.V.S.O]

Today was a crazy day....

moments before joining on a crusade with Ryex & Co, there was this special emergency quest, and I thought the exterior areas were the most
dangerous one I was WRONG in so many levels, it's the city itself the one with the highest death count.

Spoiler: ShowHide

[R.A.V.S.O]

And here I thought yesterday was weird/cool...

We start out with concerts, (it's Japan, expect these) great way to distract from gameplay, and if you're feeling pervy there's a code for the
concert to be played on a more..... cloth-less experience, needless to say it was a cool easter egg.

Moments before the concert.

Spoiler: ShowHide

And eventually the star makes her appearance, too bad a hacker tried to sabotage it by preventing model loads for like a minute or 2.

Spoiler: ShowHide

yeah good ending, but the floating guy at the end..... not intentional.

Spoiler: ShowHide

but this was only the calm before the storm, minutes later I join forces with KK20 and decide to go on the emergency quest to kill dark falz one and for all....
I gotta say this is probably the pinnacle of PSO series, it just grows even more awesome every time XD

Spoiler: ShowHide

He starts easy, but rest assured there's a REASON why we have ONE FULL QUEST dedicated to taking down his arms only XD

Spoiler: ShowHide

many died, few survived.... damn he's got good AoE's

Spoiler: ShowHide

But in the end, we've taken him out, and boy was it EPIC, plus we got our good share or rares to equip and whatnot, (I think I found a new partisan and a katana
but sucks I can't equip neither yet XD)

Spoiler: ShowHide

I couldn't have done it without KK20's (or the rest of the party's) help XD

Aside from some idiot hacking the fights to be insta-win, it was all good, and bear in mind, this is on hard mode only, higher modes have extra adds, more missions pretty much
this is the tip of the iceberg XD

and I'm one boss away from claiming the fighter class, dual-wielding here I come XD

[KK20]

Watched a video tut on this and it all makes sense now. I'll be more prepared for the next coming
But yes, that was fun! My rare drops weren't guns though...

Aiming to try Gunner class. Need one more boss kill I think and I'm there.

[PhoenixFire]

...so I figured out how to trade between players I think, but I would have to log back on to find out where I found it before lolz


That being said, if we can figure it out, it would be cool to give good drops to someone else if we don't want/need them....


And I may be on in an hour or so

[KK20]

I would like to see what theory you came up with. I still haven't found anything that can allow us to trade besides winning a 3 day shop permit.

[Ryex]

press t to change mouse mode. click on player, select "request trade". would that not work?

[R.A.V.S.O]

afaik request trade only works with a premium account,

actions that require a premium account are shown with a red triangle next to them as a heads up to show they need arks cash.

[WhiteRose]

Sorry that I haven't gotten on much lately. I'll try to catch up with you all one of these days.

[KK20]

Yeah, everything gets a little bland with no one to play it with. It's much more fun to experience new things together. It's also hard to feel the same level of excitement when one person is new to the experience and you're all like "Yeah, I know."

Tried Gunner out. It has a really weird style that I'm not used to at all. I think I'll just stick with a Ranger/Hunter combo and aim for high damage support. I'll switch back to Gunner when everyone else is low leveled. Seriously, it's pretty damn weak at level 6 still

[R.A.V.S.O]

I'm using the Braver/Fighter build, my katanas do crazy damage, I can still dual-wield while just guarding, and I found these cool boxing gloves that deal
around 400-500 damage per hit when in a combo.

and yeah, bows are broken XD

[Ryex]

I'm going to start streaming when I play.


I did a short session tonight. nothing really starts happening until about 8:30 so feel free to skip. all you get to see before then is me trying to find digi and an in game concert
seems I'm going to have to steam at a slightly lower resolution as there were a few times when my computer was struggling and quality of the stream dropped majorly

[bigace]

Now I feel like joining ya'll but I need to finish building my gaming computer before I beginning, because the one I'm on is crap and can barely run the sims.

[KK20]

I can't believe I haven't been on for a few days having played for at least a week straight. I'll probably get on this weekend.

EDIT: Jumpy platform xD
Also, them wolf bosses annoyed the hell out of me. Burned so many pots.

[Ryex]

If i'm playing with anyone else while streaming I'll differently want them in a voice call. it's no fun if people can;t hear you
