Tripcodes can help verify a user's identity to others, and are a type of pseudo-registration. To use a normal tripcode, place a hash mark ("#") followed by a word or short phrase after what you've entered into the [Name] field (ex. "User#password"). Upon submission, the server will generate the hash unique to that particular word or phrase. The previous example would display "User !ozOtJW9BFA" after being posted.

Seriously stop. Just stop posting please for the love of god.
Or at least stop posting your character it's starting to get ridiculous now. You're doing it on purpose now to get a reply out of people whether it be about your random comment of question, or if it's about your character. (which is what you want in the end we can tell or else there'd be no reason to post it)
Call me mad all you want but jesus fuck stop posting with your character in it, it's purposely trying to troll/avatarfag in this thread so for the love of god get a trip or something if you want to keep posting your character so those that don't care to see it can filter your ugly hit in the face with a sack of bricks face.

What do you think these post are for? Of course there's mad in them because it's getting beyond annoying to see his busted up by a car iron face slapped onto a post that doesn't need it, doesn't relate to playing the game with him specifically or anything of the lot.
He could simply state ship and what block to meet him at if he really wanted something, maybe even a namedrop if necessary to find out who each other is.
But an image of his character at a low angle, giving a peek of panties and in a silly pose? That's one of those baiting people into accepting him as a camwhore/attentionfag with no trip that won't fuck off or let those that don't care to see his character with a post filter his fuckheaded self from beign seen.

Openly expressing reporting does nothing.
Reporting it in general literally does nothing.
So long as he's "talking about the game" he won't get deleted from the thread, and the images he post are just barely about the game, even if it's just his ugly mug peeking panties for y'all and the mods he won't get deleted.
This is why attention whores get away with it if you haven't realized this yet and mods won't do anything because it's "about the game".
What do I need to do to unlock timed installs for Ultimate quests? Is it a specific path or do I just keep at it until they unlock?
>>135778212
then leave this shithole
>>135778108
TL;DR: The guys a attentionwhore that needs to get a trip to be filtered/ignored for people that don't want to see his face every post.
>>135778394
ugly face. I probably wouldn't even mind that much if their character wasn't ugly.
We need to address the rappy situation
>>135778359
The only reason I stay here is to get news of the game sometimes when people actually want to post game related stuff or to see who randomly namedrops me in the thread for go knows what reason.
>>135778656
Although I party agree with you I still don't think they need to have their character in every image, being attractive would turn post from "get a trip so we can filter you" to "OMGAWD LEWDKINI PICS PLS!" then he'd be annoying in that sense.

There is literally nothing wrong with liking rappies, but please don't be so gay about it
Rabby time?
Who here rappy historian?
>>135779405
Here's the thing about that.
His image's are just barely accepted as not avatarfagging because they're "related" to the game.
Let me explain: When someone avatarfags they normally pick one exclusive character, generally from an anime or video game and gather a fuckton of images related to that character.
Now comes the tricky part of distinguishing the two from each other. Avatarfags will talk nothing related to the game and only be there as a nuance to others in a thread by being "that character" or their own entity.
When it comes to this, however it's such subtle avatarfagging that it fly's under the radar but we all know it truly is.
Look at his post and point out what's wrong. The image is the first thing that comes to mind right? It's always sameangle, always of his character and again the subtle detail to flashing their panties to catch your attention that otherwise wouldn't be there. Now comes the part that doesn't make it avatarfagging but more of a "I have a question but you all need to know who asked it and what I look like" kind of thing that is related to the game.
People my ask "well what's wrong with that?" Everything really when it comes to avatarfagging. It's blatantly breaking a 4chan rule and he gets away with it because it's "game related" so mods won't delete it, will probability delete my posts instead and nothing will be learned in the end.
>>135780026
It's called not letting people get away for doing shit that obviously annoys some people and is against the rules however subtle they're being about it.

Welcome to 4chan? This type of stuff had been happening for years and as long as something mildly game related is attached to the post it will not be deleted. And honestly why should it if the person is talking about the game, is this not an image board? "But they keep posting their character!" Yes, that is their character in pso2 they are posting in the pso2 thread.
>>135780213
I have taken the liberties of fixing this picture, there was this nasty, little, fake animal girl in there that was taking the shine away from what really mattered.
>>135780772

>>135781318
I know this has been happening for years, I've been ignoring it up till this point but I can't explain why they triggered me so roughly.
But yes you're stating my point still. It might be their character in pso2, so it won't get deleted. But just because it's about the game how does it relate to needing it to have a question answered? Do they really need to have it to answer a general summoner question that the person always askes, couldn't they post idk a fucking pet image from the game?
The image is there to get them well known from the thread, and yes might get them friends in game but not the kind he'll want to be around and hell at some point they might go the way Skeletan went for the same fucking reason.

>>135782890

>>135783512
This is false, having more people increases AQ spawns. NPCs less so, but they do increase the number of spawns. They don't give you an EXP bonus though iirc.

Facelift did her a favor.
We need a supportive compound tech.
Something like a bouncer field that gives shifta, deband, megiverse and zanverse, with a field remain of 15 seconds.
Could also apply debuffs on enemies in the area.

I laugh and I cry every time. Where's the bad taste end and the good taste begin?
that moment when one of your ex-friends copies your character
should I be pissed or honored?
>>135796095
You should kill them and then steal one of their characters.
>>135796013
Sounds about right.
>>135796048
When you decide to just stay in the past forever
>>135796541
Was that her actual VA from the game? It sounded off. I know the rest of the game characters had their VAs.
>>135796095
This is one of the most 12y/o-tier things I've read in these generals in quite awhile. Congratulations.

A dead Matoi is a good Matoi

How do you lvl up as melee in PSE bursts? Stand next to ranged, Ketos Proi? Leech?

>>135782890
Matoi is literally a useless tagalong, just shoving her shit along with that useless cunt Quna.
>>135798060
>useless cunt Quna
please stop
>>135798060
No, Quna is a somewhat decently developed character
With Matoi, they tried but failed. I don't hate her though.
...So this is how /pso2g/ sounds like....woah!!!

>>135799335
That's not Blue Quna.

SH is suffering. Someone please do AQs with me to break free of it.

>Splendid Ace
>>135800492
The same thing happens in XH.
>>135800578
No way. Most of my XH runs are S rank, and maybe an occasional A rank instead of being inches away from failure.
>>135788141
>waiting until the end to run around the entire map wasting time looting
Loot as the quest goes. Judging by how it sounds, your gear is pretty bad so you wont draw any hate running around going to get your loot actively.
Is there a list of eyelashes
