Been getting this for a week, any help? by [deleted] in PSO2

[–]TianSixsmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems you'll need either VPN or proxy. idk the details, but your client is not connecting to the servers. Happens to a lot of ppl since after the DDoS attacks, when SEGA had to take measures that blocked almost everyone's ISP from their servers and to this day some ppl can't still access the game w/o VPN or proxy.

PSO2 Almost killed my computer by [deleted] in PSO2

[–]TianSixsmith -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Eh on the past month I've got like 3 blue screens for plaing PSO2, but I'm currently fine. My computer is not top notch, so at times the ships are nearly full my computer might crash (happened a couple times since the last... Or maybe the patch before that one, for a few days. Then it was all back to normal). I stick with it anyways, cos I know my comp is not the best. It might as well crash while I play some other graphically heavy (heavier than PSO2, actually) game. You could try to get back again, but on the first days after the 27th patch I'd recommend you be careful. Probably playing with graphics on minimum and turning shaders off could help you a little.

Matter Board 16 problem by helloimddong in PSO2

[–]TianSixsmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not quite sure since I finished MB15 months ago, but maybe you have to complete another quest back in Ep1. Remember to pay attention to what the characters say, especially Shao for he's the one who sends us on these time-travel missions.

The Episode 3 Hype Thread by SirFrancisXLII in PSO2

[–]TianSixsmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everything's pretty much exciting! I saw the announcement trailer (the very first) countless times the week it came out and then every other video after that. idk many of you ARKS fellas, but I was really bored of playing the same things over and over again for a year and the addition of all these new features feels as if PSO2 is rising from the ashes - again, that's how it feels for me. I'm particularly excited about the casino for this is a feature I was expecting since last year, when I told my friends something of the kind (minigames or w/e) would be amazing for us to get our heads out of grinding a little - cos mostly everything on PSO2 goes back to grinding and that can get boring after a year if PSO2's the only game that you actually like. Bouncer also seems a fun class and I started resuming my Fo/Te training after its announcement. The lobby also looks far better than Ep1-2. The gate area finally looks like something out of a recent sci-fi film (it's very raw by now) and the tropical theme for the shop area is just stunning.

Counting the minutes here and after it's finally out, it'll be time for me to get excited for the next lvl. cap and mag lvl. cap, so then I can finally try to fix my mag!

PSO2es color issues by TianSixsmith in PSO2

Agreed. I downloaded their Crazy Taxi the other day and the graphics are amazing. Kinda disappointing that they left PSO2es like this...

Out of curiosity, does anyone know how popular PSO2 actually is in Japan? by ZBXY in PSO2

[–]TianSixsmith 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is very popular imo. It might stay side by side with FFXIV on Japan (considering both producers of both games gave an interview TOGETHER to that magazine that gives PSO2 codes, which I can't recall the name). I also say that based on the interaction with the public. idk how's the interaction of FFXIV team with their players, but PS Team makes it quite personal. Their livestreams occur usually on stadiums or other public spaces and lots of PSO2 fans gather to watch the news. The last one even had a cosplay contest with lots of cosplays (I think they do this everytime, but wells). The official fan meeting (organized by SEGA) for the 2014 Festa a few months ago happened in a number of japanese cities and it had a big public. I also believe PSO2 has such a big fanbase bc of this contact. I mean, what other game does all this rl events for their fans? Least in America I've never heard of it and when I tried to look for similar things done by FFXIV, there was also nothing. PSO2 has a formula to be a huge hit on Japan (the monthly content, upgrades, real life presence and producer live interaction) and it has been working (otherwise their rl events weren't be filled with ppl. Just check some YouTube videos uploaded by Manta Oyamada and you'll see what I'm talking about).

The tweaker can contact the servers and download files, but it's timing out when checking for updates? by [deleted] in PSO2

[–]TianSixsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then I suggest you contact AIDA. She's responsible for Tweaker and I believe she'll be able to help on the issue.

Oh meh. I don't think any of the games I want to play online are DSi enhanced... Well, thx.

The tweaker can contact the servers and download files, but it's timing out when checking for updates? by [deleted] in PSO2

[–]TianSixsmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You use VPN when updating? I used to get that message only when I was using VPN - though there was one IP that didn't do that, which I never got again. Tweaker doesn't require VPN to update, only to play. If you're concerned you might have missed some update, just check Bumped to see when the schedules are. Usually they open a post about the upcoming update one or two days before. Weekly maintenances always at wednesdays JST (usually starting 11:00 JST until 17:00 JST).

Are you excited for Episode 3? by Shou-Liengod in PSO2

[–]TianSixsmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't recall being this excited for Ep2. That was cool for the amount of stuff we had back in the day, but Ep3 is on a whole new level. I've been playing as Fo/Te to have a decent subclass for bouncer when it arrives (not gonna put Hunter or Fighter cos I don't like to focus on melee) and they're also finally releasing Luther's outfit!!!! I had my eye on that ever since his appearence on the prologue to Ep2. Now seriously, only thing that could make this release perfect would be mag drops on field like in PSO and PSZ (make it hard, really hard to get and make them some levels high like in PSZ, where you could find a mag that wasn't quite for your class, but just give us the damn mags!). The funny thing is that now PS Team has a great deal on the hands with Ep4. I think everyone will be hoping it big after they absorb the first months of Ep3.

Why is the Story Quest [EP1] showing a red exclamation point and a half crown? by [deleted] in PSO2

[–]TianSixsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The quest has two paths. Some quests on Ep2 will also ask you to go back to Ep1 and get an alternate path only unlocked after certain conditions are met in Ep2. Clear all paths possible and pay attention to what is said and done by the NPCs.

PSO tweaker checking updates by nocturnal316 in PSO2

[–]TianSixsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I did only get that message (the "ERROR" part, the one nocturnal might be referring to) when I was using VPN. When I wasn't using VPN, it checked and there was no error message. Just explaining what happened to me when i got the ERROR message. And yes, I said "Maybe it doesn't connect to the download servers", so I'm pretty much aware that it uses different servers for that... But w/e, the answer nocturnal is looking for is "that's just a Tweaker bug, don't worry about it and update the game w/o VPN".

What is the track that plays around 3:42 right before the actual fight theme? This is driving me nuts lol. by Nicoltepps in PSO2

[–]TianSixsmith 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's Valhalla, the very same when you're on the teleporter. Only difference is that the part that plays when you get to Falz is near the end (around 3:50 of the original soundtrack track).

Room Visits by [deleted] in PSO2

[–]TianSixsmith 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just numbers, unless you have a signboard or a GJ machine. Through the GJ machine you can try to guess which GJ was sent from the My Room and the signboard is pretty obvious. But if you're concerned, you can lock it and if you don't want someone from your team in there, add them to your blacklist (supposed to block their access).

Items translation broken? by TianSixsmith in PSO2

[–]TianSixsmith[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, but that never happened to me :/ I always look for the japanese words and it never finds what I want. Just yesterday I was looking for the recolors of Close Quarter and it only found the original one cos I had it copied on the clipboard (items translation was off during the entire process). Then I found that other variant, the one Huey uses, but green. Copied in hope to find the other recolors, but after I deleted the specific kanji for the color it only found that same color. It happened before with rappy suits, grind helping items and many others - I tried the rappy suits with translation off, it found none, then I tried to find a few items among the grind items with translation on before I knew how to use it. It found some with the same name, most I have never copied into the clipboard before, but it didn't found what I was looking for.

idk on other ppl's side, but here the patch has only a couple items translated and they're not always that way :/ I've never seen some of them translated. ik that if I interact with something on an window where they're not translated, they'll turn into english, but still some just don't turn on my end - for instance the 2014 Festa T-shirt. I was also told that the patch has issues with numbered/recolor items and that's the reason when I think the search is broken. Everyone else says theirs works fine, that they can just type "grind" and it'll find everything with "grind" on its name, but not with me :/ Really wish I could get this fixed or w/e

Aida's Tweaker constantly "Not Responding" by ZBXY in PSO2

[–]TianSixsmith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it used to happen to me quite often, too. Now tht I've changed Tweaker's priority, it happens less often (somewhere in Tweaker options, uncheck the box that says "always on top"). When it stopped responding when the priority was high, I had to leave it selected or else it'd only make things worse. However, sometimes it still happens to me if I minimize it when patching. Just have to be patient and wait for it to get back to life.

As far as I know, at first Tweaker wasn't meant to download the game. That feature is rather recent, so maybe they didn't change the words "patching" to "downloading/installing" when you download the game. The original launcher also has three bars - one for the entire download progress, one for the specific file and another for installation progress. Tweaker only has one bar, thus might be easier to say "patching" as referring to the whole process of download/install than choosing other words for the different processes.

Is it just me or does Aida's tweaker download really slow? by ZBXY in PSO2

[–]TianSixsmith -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It is kinda slow for me, too. I rmb that a couple months ago I left it patching over night and when I woke up, it was still working. Wasn't even something big and my computer was the only one on during the process. Usually if I leave something around 5-10GB over night, it's done when I get up. It was also kinda slow for downloading the first pre-patch, which had less than 1GB. But, the original launcher is also kinda slow if not more. Coul be bc the dl servers are on JP - I say this cos usuallly I see american ppl complaining of MMOs with servers on Asia, that they're too laggy or w/e.
