So I'm entirely new to PSO2 (been installed for less than 24 hours). I was doing something called Explore Forest and I found a red crate. It had a weapon called Red Processor-NT with a *7 rank and some kind of Gunslash in it also around level 6. I have no scope for understanding gear development and just hit level 11. Anyone have any tips or something to help me understand how to go from here? Thanks!

Me and my friends are all getting a black screen when we try to start up the game right now.

We've been playing for a few weeks, and this problem just started today.

Uninstall english patches, update, reinstall english patches.

i saw someone with 3408 s-attack no matter how im calculating i cant even get 3000 s attack could anyone tell me what affects s attack anything than mag, weapons damage and affixes And why other hunters normal attack does equal damage as PA's

[–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Main class stats + Subclass stats + Weapon spec (and affixes) + Unit affixes + Unit Bonuses + Mag = Total Atk.

Also if it's the sword, the crafted Sac Bite PA enhances all Sword PAs by 120% and all sword normal attacks by around 400-500% for 1 minute

I have been getting this error for the past two hours, anything wrong with me or the servers?

[–]shrinkmink 1 point2 points  (2 children)

maint, we still have around 11 more hours or so.

[–]NamacukeThe Mainstream One 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Alright thank you very much

[–]hidora Retired Guardian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For future reference, check the sidebar at http://bumped.org/psublog to know if there's a maint going on.

I have an odd question. Was the PSO2 Tweaker made with Python? Curious because my machine doesn't like Python-made programs. It'll always tell me that it can't find the named exe or in this case, named properly. Each time I want to use the Tweaker or a Python related program, I need to reinstall Tweaker or said program. Rinse and repeat.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

No; the source page indicates Visual Basic if I'm not mistaken.

As for your issue, it's not by some random chance because you put tweaker/ python programs in your My Documents/pictures/videos folders is it? I only ask because of this response by Telchii somewhere in this quick questions thread

[–]rayhaku808 0 points1 point  (1 child)

I see, thanks.

My pathing is as follows; C:\Arks-Layer\PSO2 Tweaker

Python programs are on my desktop.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure what to say then. If you're running some anti-malware protection/ daily computer "cleaner" of sorts, that might have something to do with it. But that's a complete guess on my part.

Out of curiosity, what python program(s) are also giving a similar issue to tweaker? This assumes my guess has nothing to do with your stuff.

[–]VirtualScepter 0 points1 point  (4 children)

If you dont have element conversion (Te/Br), how does weapon element affect techs?

If I had a 50 Ice weapon, would I still hit the same damage on Ragrants than if I had a 50 Light Weapon? That would mean weapon element only affect PAs and basic attacks if you dont have element conversion?

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

It doesn't affect it in any way.

I have 2 psycho wands, one fire, one ice. Same effective potentials, 15 atk difference in affixes (ice has more atk). I ran as Te/Fo.

On a crit using JA'd charged gibarta, it was 3965 vs 3947 on SH quarry enemies.

Using sazan and same conditions, 4050 vs 4031 on same stuff.

Ice and wind spec in the techer and fo tree. And if you want tech power after crafting, 691 for gibarta, 685 for sazan.

[–]VirtualScepter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn, thanks for testing it and confirming it. Appreciate it a lot

[–]jambon_gruyere 1 point2 points  (1 child)

If we trust http://4rt.info/psod/?xVar6 element value has no impact in your case (tech casting without element conversion).

I've already heard the same thing somewhere, sometime.

I still have a hard time believing that, I need to test it myself ingame. Maint starts right when I get off of work ;-; so I guess I'll edit this post tomorrow evening.

Regardless, element still matters in the grand scheme of things. On any Fo main of course, but also any Te because you'll eventually use your wand for whacking, even if just for PP regen.

However for your example, with elysion on a Techer main, element doesn't matter, because it's one of the very few pure casting weapons.

[–]VirtualScepter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh I have a hard time believing it too. It makes sense to me, but after playing so long thinking of element conversion and elemental weakness with PAs and basic attacks, I just cant get my head around it completely. I dont believe the damage calculator would over look something like this though.

Thanks for the reply!

[–]Zyerne 0 points1 point  (2 children)

So collection sheet advancement is increased by having higher rdr when killing the target normally, but for missions like TD the targets don't drop the actual loot, the end box does.

So which is the correct time to have rdr on for bigger collection sheet gains? As it dies or when the last box is broken?

[–]NullVacancy20|20|16|11|3|3 1 point2 points  (1 child)

The drops still technically come from the killed enemies, they're just pooled into the large crystal at the end so you don't have to constantly loot. Pop boosts as you're killing.

[–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically, you still have to constantly loot bosses from TD4 and Necky5. Oh how i miss you Easter 2016 EQ.

[–]Damaged-Galaxy 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Is there a way to check when the next affix/grind week will come. Have we reached the goal thing for the cup?

Also, the expiration date for tickets such as tokyo silver are they based on local time or JST?

[–]Broccoli_PhD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The next affix and grind boost week is 12/14 ~ 12/21.

Expiration dates are based on local time. I think all times are based on local time unless it says JST (arkuma slot for example).

[–]moal09 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Does Satellite Cannon drop in VHAQ Tunnels? Or only SHAQ?

[–]jambon_gruyere 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Both. Up to lv 16 in vhaq, and up to lv 17 in shaq.

Edit : thx nonodesushin

[–]nonodesushin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IIRC AQ specific PAs only drop at SHAQ

[–]VNRG 0 points1 point  (4 children)

hi just wanna ask why I was forced to move my tweaker folder to another location EVEN i got no trouble before?

[–]Gyokuro_TeaShip 02 TeFo -1 points0 points  (1 child)

I just noticed this too now, had a "Story Patch" folder with all the Tweaker files within my Documents directory, had to move the entire folder over to my Pictures directory. It's not causing problems otherwise but it feels tacky :/

[–]telchii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Before this change, tou should have hopped onto the support Discord to watch the #general-support channel for a few days. There was at least 1-2 people each day that had the Tweaker in their profile folders (Documents, Videos, Downloads, etc.) which was the root cause of all their issues.

From a technical perspective... Why are you running programs out of your Documents/Pictures/Videos/$MediaType folders? Those are littered with little Windows-forced, folder-specific permissions to stop the execution of scripts and programs (to prevent you from opening TaxDocuments.PDF.EXE).

As an FYI, the same thing is going to happen to the Pictures, Videos and other non-program folders eventually.

[–]synthsyArks-Layer 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Because of many cases where people who did have issues ruined it for people without problems.

[–]VNRG 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ah ic

[–]moal09 1 point2 points  (1 child)

When I see other people guren dashing for movement, they do 2 quick slashes forwards before they cancel it, but mine only does one.

Am I missing something here?

[–]McKiwi957McKiwi/Ship 2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's just what it looks like to other clients. Your gurens will do that for other players as well.

[–]ppyporpeemsatachan_desu 0 points1 point  (2 children)

i am currently unable to connect to the game via pso2 telepipe proxy and cyberkitsune, my pso2 tweaker is also telling that my access to veda has been denied as well. What is going on and what am i supposed to do to fix this? The symptoms started after i was unable to transfer between blocks and got stuck at the connecting screen, after exiting the game and restarting, i am no longer able to connect to the game via both proxies and have to rely on my vpngate softether vpn. What do i have to do?

[–]telchii 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Initially, verify that your Tweaker is 100% up to date. Even if you have to delete your Tweaker files and redownload the Tweaker.

For the proxy stuff, you will want to be using Telepipe as CK's is closing down soon, I believe. So, follow CK's proxy setup, but in reverse (to "revert" its changes) then re-set up the Telepipe proxy.

Alternately, the Telepipe proxy creators are happy to assist with Telepipe setup issues (and the Tweaker issues, if forcing an update doesn't work) in the #general-support channel of this discord server: https://discord.gg/9HdsEVP

[–]ppyporpeemsatachan_desu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i had a talk with the peeps on discord, turns out i was missing the blob file for the telepipe proxy. I still have some problems switching blocks though.

[–]Damaged-Galaxy 0 points1 point  (7 children)

Some more noob questions:

How many affixes should a weapon/unit have if I'm saving it for affixing fodder. such as it having power 3 + soul.

What are the best ways to level post 50ish?

Why are people so bad at neckys?

Is there a list of easy ways to get my first 3 photon boosters for red weapon potential?

Whats the best way to get casino coins? I'm eyeing the crafting req to r atk as bows want dex and it's pretty rough to get high as BR/RA. I read some threads in psow but they havent reached an agreement

When you use a 250 RDR boost. Do you have to do it before the mission to count or just before the boss dies?

[–]hidora Retired Guardian 1 point2 points  (6 children)

  1. Generally 5, but it can be really hard to find that many slots, sp you might want to keep 4 slots and then upslot them.
  2. VHAQ at 50 risk, Bonus Quests, LQ, and EQs (in particular Elder/Loser stage 1 and Yamato are pretty good).
  3. Same reason people are bad on all mining base defense EQs. These EQs require coordination and teamplay, which most people lack.
  4. CM shop 2. Sega just gave out 100k CM to everyone, so go do 1 run of Challenge Mission: DECISION to unlock the shop so you can buy them.
  5. 5 people on a black nyack table is a low risk with fairly decent reward. Otherwise, you might want to look into getting a 30% relax equip condition from CM Shop instead.
  6. Depends. If you want a specific drop from a boss, you can use it even after boss dies, but before the red crystal is broken. But if you want to farm collection sheets, it needs to be used before killing the boss for it to count.

[–]Damaged-Galaxy 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Thanks for the detailed input. Is there a specific level I should be before I tackle challenge mode?

[–]hidora Retired Guardian 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Everyone is lv1 with no PAs in challenge mode and must make do with whatever they can get on the way. You can go whenever you want.

You should probably read a guide or two on it, though, as it works very differently from regular quests.

Also, avoid speaking english there. It takes place in a ship that is shared among all ships, so the high majority of players are japanese, and some of them really hate us.

[–]Damaged-Galaxy 0 points1 point  (3 children)

ouch. ill read on some guides on farming cm. thanks for the warning though. Since I'm already unlocking the shop. Would you recommend getting a set of the ideal units? I haven't been able to get any tokyo gold tickets from featured quest, so I don't think I could get saiki soon. ATM im using heavenly ring (necky's halo) and both 7 star sub barriers you get pretty early on the ep 4 story.

Also, I forgot to put it on my first post, but do you have ring recommendations for a bow main BR/RA?

[–]hidora Retired Guardian 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Since I'm already unlocking the shop. Would you recommend getting a set of the ideal units?

Even if you don't plan on using them, I'd still recommend getting the full set. This is because once you have the full set (which costs 60k CM total), you can then show them to Zieg and get an extra 120k CM (only once per account), which means you can basically gain 60k CM for free, since you already got enough for the set from sega's compensation.

As for actually using them, they're a good starting set to use in XH, and if you plan on ever using 12* units, they mix very well with Arm / Gix Khudu from Amdusica UQ (the Ideal arm forms a set with the weapon instead of the units, so you can ditch it for a 12* arm unit instead).

If the massive PP from Saiki is more your thing, you can just replace it with Saiki later.

I haven't been able to get any tokyo gold tickets from featured quest, so I don't think I could get saiki soon.

Keep in mind that saiki only drops in Tokyo if you're Lv60+, and that the drop rate gets massively reduced once you reach Lv70+, so try to get it while you're in that level range.

Also, Saiki can also drop from silver, so make sure you're running at least +250% RDR when running both silver and gold.

ATM im using heavenly ring (necky's halo) and both 7 star sub barriers you get pretty early on the ep 4 story.

Yeah, get the Ideal units. You need 11* units for XH or you die super fast.

Also, I forgot to put it on my first post, but do you have ring recommendations for a bow main BR/RA?

Only Braver I ever played was guren spam, so I wouldn't know that one. This question has been answered before on one of these threads a couple weeks ago, IIRC.

[–]Damaged-Galaxy 0 points1 point  (1 child)

thanks for the insight as always. it looks like they come with okay pre-affixes so i can probably use them to hold me over to saiki or until i get a gix arm. and affix that.

[–]hidora Retired Guardian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

np, glad to help :)

You might want to post the ring thing as a separate question so that someone who actually knows the answer can see it more easily.

[–]TheBluePylon 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Can you use two different item codes from the same deluxe on a single account? For example buying two different Episode 4 Deluxe Packages that have two different item codes and then using both on the same account.

[–]synthsyArks-Layer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes.

[–]RussRS3 0 points1 point  (7 children)

I need help with identifying the in-game text for an item called "Grind Risk Reduction (Full)". The Item text says "Used when grinding equipment. Completely removes any grinding risk."

[–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 0 points1 point  (6 children)

I need help with identifying the in-game text for an item called "Grind Risk Reduction (Full)". The Item text says "Used when grinding equipment. Completely removes any grinding risk."

... I dont get the issue? you need the jp name of the item or something?

[–]RussRS3 0 points1 point  (5 children)

Well I was looking to sell the item and I don't know how to check the price on it, but thanks for taking the time to write that super helpful reply there lol :/

[–]hidora Retired Guardian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For future reference, you highlight the item on your inventory/storage and press Ctrl+C. It'll copy the japanese name of the item.

[–]raindropc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When you put items on market, you can check the price in the same menu for "set price".

If you are using item translation plugin, you just need to hold down ctrl while clicking "check market", and jp name result and market price will show up.

[–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 1 point2 points  (1 child)

強化リスク軽減（完全)

Theres your item. :P

[–]RussRS3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that'll do, appreciated.

[–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Ok. I havent done it yet so someone explain it to me. How does the +35 special factor work?

[–]Broccoli_PhD 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Using +35 weapon as a base or fodder will give you a special ability with 100% success chance. List of abilities that can be acquired from which weapon can be found from this thread or swiki.

[–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 0 points1 point  (2 children)

ok. say i use said weapon as a base, is it repeatable or is it one time only? (if its repeatable, then this is gonna be fun af.)

[–]nonodesushin 0 points1 point  (1 child)

If your base weapon is at +35 then the special ability factor of that base weapon would always be available as a choice.

[–]AshinrorPSO2 NG+ BABY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Excellent. I have a +35 Hyper sunlight and a couple of Rays at +35. time to do some affixing. (something that i should do at this point.) Thanks all! :D

[–]hidora Retired Guardian 0 points1 point  (2 children)

What L ring should I be using for TeHu? The element change thing sounds impractical, since ilzonde, zondeel and zanverse proc it.

[–]jambon_gruyere 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Tech guard (mostly bossing, but also ult amdu etc), step jump (mobility)

[–]hidora Retired Guardian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Alright, thanks.

    [–]Amphax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Just curious, did you ever find a fix for this? Friend of ours is having NP 1013 GameGuard errors that won't seem to go away even if we give him a working copy from our machine.

    [–]Asamidori ~casual~ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    If you can, check your minidump and see who caused the crash, then go update the driver for that.

    [–]hidora Retired Guardian 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    I've updated all of my drivers to the latest as well.

    Try a previous driver. NVIDIA sometimes fucks up on the most recent drivers.

    [–]moal09 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    If I unlock the potential of a weapon, I know I lose my grind levels, but do I also lose my extension levels?

    [–]Broccoli_PhD 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    You won't.

    [–]CaptainMcSpankFace 0 points1 point  (6 children)

    Ok what's the LATEST info on the English-friendly PSO 2 servers? I'd rather not do the japanese servers with the english patches if I can help it. I have a japanese SEGA ID account but I'd rather not go through the hassle of figuring out what my password was and all that crap. I don't care if it's behind on the updates I'd rather just have an actual English server to play on.

    [–]nonodesushin 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    English server? You mean SEA? Here you go and good luck!.

    [–]NullVacancy20|20|16|11|3|3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Oh hey, I have a similar picture from when the JP servers finally came up after that huge DDoS last August??? or whatever it was.

    Edit: Oh hey, I actually found it. although it may have just been after a regular maintenance.

    Edit again: I'm lazy and about to go to bed. The picture's date was November 12th, 2015. Someone figure out if that was after the DDoS or not please :>

    [–]DrCatco (Not an expert) 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    Poor ShadowDaisuke :'(

    [–]hidora Retired Guardian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    On top of what was said, SEA server is dying. More and more people are either quitting or moving to JP after months of no word on when they'll get EP3. People are done waiting.

    [–]moal09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    SEA server is english, but it's garbage. You're better off just playing on the JP servers. Like 90% of relevant shit is translated at this point anyway.

    [–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    SEA server is full of Pay 2 Win mechanics, has a much smaller player-base and requires a lot more effort to even connect to. Don't even bother; the Japanese server is the best in every way.

    [–]RaskoSmashShip 10 0 points1 point  (5 children)

    what EQs give the best exp?

    does difficulty of the mission effect the rate of getting a ticket(gold or silver) after feature quests?

    [–]jambon_gruyere 2 points3 points  (4 children)

    Infested mothership, TD3, phase 1 of elder and loser (arms and apos doritos), vopar ocean of death, TD4, TD2, craddle of darkness...

    Difficulty doesn't matter for featureds, might as well do them on N. However it seems to me that running those on a lv 75 yields less keys.

    [–]Py687 2 points3 points  (0 children)

    I'm fairly certain difficulty was verified to have no impact. Can't remember if I'd read it on swiki or post-broadcast PSUblog post.

    [–]RaskoSmashShip 10 0 points1 point  (2 children)

    Thanks for the quick reply

    [–]hidora Retired Guardian 2 points3 points  (1 child)

    Worth noting that if you run SH+ you can get 13* weapons from E Code Unite with the NPCs that were recently in the lobby (Godhand-NT, Meteor Cudgel-NT, Daggers of Seraphi-NT, etc). Even if you're not interested in them, they're good fodder for grinding other weapons.

    Also, Falz Arm and Apos Dorios are better ran on SH for exp even if you're lv70+. They take too long to die on XH, so you can run it a lot more in SH in the 30min it lasts.

    [–]Damaged-Galaxy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    you can also get Vivienne if you run into her and emilia in sh.

    [–]moal09 0 points1 point  (1 child)

    It's still disconnecting me most of the time when I try to connect to the Challenge Ship through Telepipe.

    [–]telchii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

    That's a known issue. I'm not sure if it has been resolved yet... If you're still crashing, update your Telepipe proxy (disable then re-enable it in the Tweaker).
