looking to get back into this
whats awaiting me at endgame? im around lv 60 RA/HU now so i understand it might take me a week or so to get up to speed
are the new classes worth looking at outside of the stat boosts? do the /vg/ teams actually do things now or is it just maybe grouping up for the occasional EQ? how is the ship2 population in general?
is the game dying?
is there a guide for the new launcher? it looks like they've changed the settings layout

Well considering Sega is doing everything in their power to push away their actual player base and instead cater to new players, this is to be expected.
The norm will be nothing but complete shitters and new players with underleveled, bad, wrong subjobs, no affix units, +0 3 star weapons, etc.
Get used to it. It's the player base Sega wants.

>>147711108
Don't HU/BR unless you're trying to level up HU with a katana, but if you're not doing that there's literally no reason to.
Stick with HU/FI and BR/HU if you want to use all of those weapons.
The basic trees are not so different.
This tree assumes you are doing HU/FI and not trying FI/HU, but you can reset always if you want to.
I intentionally left some points as everything else is kind of up to you, but this is a basic tree.
http://arks-layer.com/skillsim/skillcalc.php?11fbxIobxIobxIobxIobxIobxIobxIobxIobxIo0jdodBdBI2i2dB0JkrAIsIO000000jdoIniNfbnfGKcAJlqn00000fdoib0000000fdo0000000Io00000000ioIn00000000IbIo0000000jdoIb0000000lo000000j
Here are some basic takeaways that you might not understand.
>The main point of the FI tree on HU/FI is Brave Stance and Tech Arts JA Bonus, everything else is conditional damage. Brave stance assumes you are attacking from the front at all times, which is good with HU/FI's general tankiness and parries. Tech Arts, otherwise known as TAJA, gives a fairly substantial bonus to damage if you mix up your combos, essentially. By keeping up a TAJA string, you can deal significant damage.
>FI/HU's tree is SIGNFIICANTLY different, so take this tree with a grain of salt.
>Fury Critical and Brave crticial are optional, as you don't get the extra critical damage, but you can still get to 55% critical chance, which is still fairly decent.
>You don't really need step as a HU, as you can just block anything
>Automate Halfline, Massive Hunter, Iron Will, and War Cry are all decent skills to invest into. The only condition I'll say is if you want Automate, you need to put 10 points or it's basically useless.
>On Braver, Quick Mate is unnecessary if you decide upon Automate Halfline, otherwise is a useful skill for 1 point, critical is still an option.
>Attack advance is decent for basic attacks, but you won't be doing much damage anyway.
Anything that's truly unnecessary can go into attack ups.
>>147711731
japanese publishers are generally averse to modding or any third party modification in general, even the harmless ones
>>147711731
Because SEGA doesn't want you to improve and kill any faster their already easy as fuck content.
>>147711772
>wasting time explaining shit to the retard
>>147711772
>Brave Stance and Tech Arts JA Bonus, everything else is conditional damage
What an odd way to put this considering those two things are also conditional
>>147711731
Encourages bullying of lesser skilled players. If you've played WoW, you would know firsthand how autistic an entire game's fanbase can get when tools like that become widespread. There was a time in WoW's life where people where demanding an addon that gave characters a score in their profile based on gear because of how elitist and exclusionary that mod was making the game when it first came out.
I don't care about tools like that and I actively used the parser when i was trying different things to see how I was doing but I respect their decision to keep it out of the game.
>>147711772
thanks a lot man
>>147711867
yeah, god forbid a returning player ask for some guidance
gotta make sure no one comes back to this game
>>147711950
demanding an addon be broken because it gave characters a score*
13* have literally ruined the game.
Remember in episode1 post 10 stars when they kept releasing 10 stars and no one gave a fuck because they were retarded to 50 element due to 100% RNG drops and 9 stars with potentials unlocked were generally just as good, sometimes better?
They kept adding 10 stars, no one cared, no one worked towards them, no one grinded towards them. They were dead on arrival content because our 9 stars with 50 element and 5-7% JA dmg potentials were better unless the 10 stars untekked/dropped with 40+ light. Trying to get the drops at all was a fucking miracle, but then relying on 40+ untekked light and shit just for an upugrade, as well as having to grind 10 stars, ESPECIALLY during the fucking 10k grinder shit storm?
No thanks. No one cared.
Now we have 13 stars, which are pretty much essentially being treated the same way. Why do they keep adding downgrade/minor sidegrade 13 stars when they require fucking lambda grinders to grind, are pretty grindy as fuck to 50 element and +35, when we already have ray and austere weapons, and have had them for months now which completely outclass any new 13 stars they keep adding?
Does Sega just have no fucking idea how to give people a reason to log into the game and play? They literally add dead on arrival character progression that doesn't add any character progression to people who have been playing for a few months now - and even if you weren't(like me) there's no way in hell I'm wasting my lamda grinders on a shitty welfare 13 star when I can wait until I finish my ray weapon or austere.
Sega are completely clueless as to how their own game works.
>>147711950
How do you properly incentivize not being a huge fucking asshole to newer or less skill players
How did we even get here in the first place, this game has no real competitive elements to it at all
>>147711942
Well, I mean worse conditionally. The Slayer skills are minor damage boosts, and especially as HU/FI you're not going to regulate them nearly as well, if Halfline and Deadline are going to apply at ALL thanks to Automate.
Really, assuming you're using an independent HU/FI tree, you're going to make a Bouncer look starved for skill points.
It's just trying to balance FI/HU and HU/FI that makes the tree more complicated.
>>147712046
They're filling out the 13* precisely because they needed to compensate for what they did by introducing them in the first place
Didn't we already discuss this before
>>147712065
It's a hard problem to solve, giving autists less tools to use to attack people is the only real bandaid they know.
>>147711989
of course they don't want old players returning, how else are they going to push their LMAO DED GAEM meme

New wave of players from ps4 needed to be caught up to speed if they had any intention of adding new content again. Can't put 13* back in the box, Anga was the prophet foretelling the game's downfall.

>people doing nothing but shitting on the game
is it worth coming back at all if i just have some shitty extended weapon with the worst potentials ever for RA (close ranged damage)
>>147712596
>>147712307
Yeah the fact that all we have to look forward to in the upcoming ~6 months is a dead on arrival free field is mind boggling.
At this point I don't think Sega wants to keep people playing their game, they just want the ship jumping casuals to come, play for a month, spend some money on AC, then quit and repeat forever.
>>147712734
The game's still fun, but a lot of the newer content doesn't bring anything for people who already have austere weapons.
If you don't, it's still pretty good. There's still lots to do.
>>147712596
Amduskia is has been in the data forever, but it's gotten new bits and pieces so apparently it's still coming
I don't know how you can realistically expect a new mining base, though. There was an eighteen month gap between the third and fourth and how do you even top one with DF at the end? I wouldn't expect much more than a new difficulty to look forward to for that type of quest.

I haven't played since the start of EP3 so there's a fuckload of shit for me to do.
It's just depressing that I don't see anything new being added for the next upcoming 6 months that's actually something to look forward to. I'm going to run out of content before they can add more - which is not something that should happen when I'm coming back after a like 2 year break from the game.
That's just unacceptable and shitty on their part.
>>147712896
Yeah, this pretty much. If I played during EP3 I would've had ultimate,s cm's, new tds to look forward to.
Episode4? I have a new fucking field to look forward to.
This is literally episode 2 all over again, and oh, look, WE HAVE THE FUCKING EPISODE2 DIRECTOR.
It all makes perfect fucking sense. Episode2 was "hey can we get content?", with nothing to ever look forward to but "new fields!".
Why the fuck are they letting this idiot ruin the game again? Episode3's director was god tier.

Add another DF? Maybe you're one of those "story" people who thinks there's a reason there's 4 different Falz' other than to keep making content for the game.
>>147713159
Just no.
>>147712734

>>147712776
>in the upcoming ~6 months
Vegas is next month. Anything beyond August is just unknown. We're due for a roadmap for the next quarter soon
You can certainly try and make some guesses on things based on previous years, though:
September
2013 Quarry
2014 Episode 3
2015 CM2/Ult Nab Overhaul
October
2013 Super Hard
2014 Facility
2015 DF Double + Profound Darkness
November
2013 - Seabed
2014 - Ultimate Naberius
Some kind of new EQ is probably going to land in December, because that happens every year in December (Elder, Base 1, Magatsu, Base 4).
>>147711418

>>147713371
>>147713495
Same, I hate TD so much it's not even funny.
>>147713183
That doesn't top anything, it just repeats it again
Mining Base 5 would be nice if it was done right, but if it was just Mining Base 4.5 then there's no real point
>Melees so mad about being shit in TD
Oh what's that I can't hear you over my fomelgion/sphere eraser
>I hate content that can fail with a bad mpa
>>147713534
How much more exciting can you make a protect the tower map.
They've fucking done it 4 times already. The shit gets old.
What's next for TD5? 3 different ARK ships that you have to jump pad in between with Luther, PD, and Elder on each ship for a for a final boss wave. Probably right on track with it, since SEGA likes to vomit random shit and call it an EQ.
Don't forget that they're going to have 1/5th of their normal HP because it has to be shitter friendly.
>Exoda spawn
>starting cannon charge
>literally sitting duck
wasted
>>147713534
Because melee needs to chase the retarded AI all over the map.
And mostly because the EQs take 45+ minutes to be over with compared to 10 minute boss EQs for the same reward.
>>147713685
that's 10x better than what they're currently shitting in our mouths
>>147713440
>Yup CM2 is trash
They're both trash. Challenge should have been single party with actual puzzles to solve like in the original, not another fucking 12 person steamroll
Okay sure you actually need to kite things for once and manage VR but the "challenge" there is laughable
>>147713594
No one's fucking mad about class balance in TD. Everyone's fucking at how t's basically the same content over and over just re-arranged into different positions
>>147712479
Damn really? Kinda want to spend FUN on some nice accessories that aren't 10m+ in the player shops.
>>147713765
>compared to 10 minute boss EQs for the same reward.
>playing for rewards
and this is why this game is so bad now
>>147713242
give me some suggestions
>>147713845
>playing TD for "fun"
>after already doing it literally 1000+ times
The "fun" has run its course. That's why people don't even care to see a new TD.
>>147713765
See>>147713845
TD is amazing, I agree we don't need MORE of the same shit, however, we do need more content like TD in design where it can easily fail, and you need most people working together and pulling their weight to succeed it.
Aka, no more shit like yamato which literally can't fail.
>>147713794
that's not it at all
lots of people(especially you) hate TD2 most of all which is the only one with an interesting map
Is healing in the new Odin quest gimped or am I imagining things?
>playing carrot on a stick
>>147713717
Mining base is basically just "be fucking aware of what's happening on the map"
You lose when no one pays attention to Bibras bombs or laser turrets or Exoda spawning and getting their laser off as opposed to it being outright about how well equipped you are (but that does help)
>>147713935
You just don't understand
You can't have content which can fail in this game. This is literally a casual game. It has to be easily accessible and have a high success rate to the general population who play this game, no matter what gear or skill range they have.
>>147713958
It's gimped. There's now lots of "healers" running around doing nothing but spamming resta.
I wouldn't be surprised if the keep doing it in normal XH quests after learning that in the LQ. Sega once again fucks their game up.
>>147714013
That's massively more fun or interesting than yamato, or even a falz fight. It's actually challenging.
>>147714053
You can, considering this game became the most successful during shit like TD's and as they added harder content people enjoyed it more.
>>147713935
It's pretty much impossible to fail anything that isn't Mining Base 3 or 4
Yamato might be easy, but it's hardly the only thing like that
The main issue is how relatively rewarding it is despite its lack of difficulty, potentially getting multiple 13* out of it is ridiculous
>people actually want more "run around the map killing trash" quests
>instead of more big boss fights
please fuck off to literally any other MMO
>>147714145
>added harder content
when. content has actually gotten easier after td3 and the difficulty in there only last a few weeks
>>147713958
Jammed.
Should be like this by default really.
>>147714110
But it's actually balanced and where the game should have been with healing from the start? Are you just mad that your automate tree is a waste?
>>147714198
>instead of more big boss fights
What big boss fights? All these damage sponges with MUH IMMERSION invincibility phases to waste boosters?
>>147713594
but I do play fo and ra in td
doesn't make the quest any less shit though
>>147714145
> considering this game became the most successful during shit like TD's
The game became most successful during Yamato
>>147714262
you can still faceroll just fine by only buying trimates instead of dimates too
yet fucks like you slow it down for everyone else while you think you're being helpful
>>147702884
I want your character file.
>>147714309
>invincibility phases
Nothing in this game really has invincibility phases
There are parts where bosses move out of range for a bit to attack but those are generally quite short-lived, and tend to be random and not mandatory
>>147714006
>>147712065
It's simple westerners ruin any asian game they touch. Unlike most of the time when it's shitty feminists and bad localizers who remove content this time it was the players who forgot to leave their american mentality at the door and thought it was okay to be entitled as fuck, turn a casual game into a artificial competition, and break literally all of the rules. With all the dumb shit like the ddos, the webmoney shit, damage parser, and all the hacking hat's been going on (seriously its like every other person is a hacker nowadays) you should consider yourself lucky that you haven't been ip blocked yet. There's a reason why the rest of the world generally dislikes americans.
>>147714309

Those are what i can think of off the top of my head. But these are just the stereotypes of what americans are like and I'm not saying that all of them are like that on pso2. Mostly just people from B1, B31 and many of the "pros" on pso-world. I have met a bunch of pretty cool dudes on the ship 2 chat.

Nah I mean that fact that a lot of americans on pso2 love to start shit between people and other teams (idk why they like fighting so much) and I don't see as much of that with SEA people. Are you saying that people can't be good at the game and nice at the same time. Either one or the other? What would that make the 4chan teams then, since they are neither?

I don't understand what you're trying to say. I'm talking about the really big discord chat that's owned by the guy who made Overparse. Cool dude even though I dont think adding that to the game was a good idea.

I can't recall shit from WoW vanilla but since TBC and onwards it didn't require "skillful" people, just awareness and people with proper knowledge to press 3~10 buttons in order. Somebody doing call-outs was more than enough (need to move, stack, etc.) was a big plus.
I remember people using gearscore for status, meanwhile they were jack shit at the game while it being already simple as fuck, just like those wanna-be-tryhards with 160+ attack on gear but don't know how to kill quartz under 30 seconds.
Turbocasuals "I WANT TO WIN END GAME CONTENT WITH QUESTING ITEMS THAT ARE 20 LEVELS LOWER THAN LEVEL CAP" ruined the game.

>>147717441
What ruined the game was Blizzard catering to these mongoloids instead of telling them to fuck off because "potential customers".
>>147717721
Look at the game now, just a fucking husk waiting to die because the majority of the normalfags left for the next hotness.
>>147718190
What was the next hotness?
>>147718241
Anything shiny that has a lot of people flocking to it. I don't keep track of normalfag shit that often. Overwatch is the current shining turd right now though.
>>147718190
But this game was casual from the beginning?
>>147718316
Does Japan even care about Overwatch
It doesn't seem like the sort of game they'd care about
>>147718190
Exactly.
They cater to a player base, that's the player base they get, then they have to create a game around that player base.
However, that player base doesn't stick around, they hop from the new shiny game to the next every month.
Now the game is just garbage.
This cycle repeats itself in every fucking game released since 2004, and for some reason it doesn't stop.
Devs and publishers don't learn. I think Sega is doing it now too.
I want Spider Bitch to stop spawning and being useless.

>>147718583
She has by far the highest spawn rate so good luck if you want a diabo or guranz weapon. I gave up already, too much work.
>>147718403
I don't know if you could really apply that to WoW, though
The game peaked in 2010 and has been declining, but even then it's massively popular and still #1 if I'm not mistaken. Weren't the casualizing elements being added years before that?
If it was really like "that player base doesn't stick around, they hop from the new shiny game to the next every month", shouldn't have been more volitile drop offs whenever something new came out rather than this seemingly steady erosion

That was actually insulting.
This was supposed to be the big scary DPS check?
Are they really trying to compensate for their own shitty design with all these jamming effects?
>>147719267
The jamming effects are pretty much where the game should have been to begin with.
>>147719267
The problem is that it's not even authentic to the real fight.
PSO2 Odin will only begin casting Shin-Zantetsuken when he's on the brink of death, rather than being on an internal timer in XIV. On top of that the casting time for Shin-Zantetsuken is based on the number of players in the MPA. That's why you have that solo clear run video running around.
You can have people die left and right but as long as you have them up before Shin-Zantetsuken is up and they press more than three buttons you'll clear the check.
>>147718583
>>147719049
Biggest reason I don't give a single fuck about the new files because you can't even do half of it in the LQ consistently.
>>147719460
Even if it was on an internal timer, the fight lasts maybe 3 minutes.
>>147717441
I consider awareness a skill. They are the people who don't need to be babysat, and told what to do. It would also translate well for raid leading, to lead the other people out, or just remind them what's about to happen and how to take action.
There are plenty of people who have tunnel vision otherwise.
>>147719460
>PSO2 Odin will only begin casting Shin-Zantetsuken when he's on the brink of death, rather than being on an internal timer in XIV.
Did you word this right? Odin in FFXIV will begin to cast Shin-Zantestuken either when he's cut down to 15% health or the internal timer (six or seven minutes), meaning it works more or less the same way?

>>147719879

>spawns
>says hi
>gets rekt instantly
>>147719757
Right, but PSO2 Odin only starts casting his Shin-Zantetsuken when he's at like 5% HP instead.
At the end of the day I think Odin was just a poor choice of boss to bring over as part of the collab. In XIV, the nastiest part of his trial outside of SZ was his tank buster and the healer check required to heal both the tank and the raid when the bleeding and everything starts.
Obviously in PSO2 you don't have tanks or healers so you can't really carry over something like that.
I honestly think a fight like Titan would have made a better transition, since your biggest danger is the snowballing effect of any death. Not to mention Titan usually manages to kill people by overloading their head with information when he covers 80% of the arena in death pizzas, which is how just about every PSO2 boss with a hint of difficulty manages to kill people anyway.
All these people dying because they don't know how to properly fight Guranz.
>>147720202
Deaths can't really snowball here in the same way that tanks or healers aren't really a thing either, though
>>147720231
How? Just smother him like an autistic kid with a pillow and sit next to him and he's literally harmless.
>>147720379
They didn't know what to do on my run, they just kept attacking whichever and still died.
>>147720345
would be nice if mooned players get Weakness or Brink of Death for like a minute or 30 seconds, really
>>147719409
Yes.
>>147720345
The major component to Titan was that you needed people alive so they could burn down the Gaols and the titan bombs. Having people be dead during those mechanics would obviously make those mechanics harder to preform and potentially lead to more deaths.
With Odin I could have the entire MPA be dead but as long as I just hurl a moon up when he starts running to the center I'll probably still be fine.
But I would guess that Sega would be too scared to ever have a fight where someone could potentially be dead forever (ala Titan arena outs.) and I guess outside of the top percentile Odin seems to work out great. Even with how piss easy Odin is mechanically I've still had a couple failed runs because people still somehow can't clear the DPS check.

>tebo in pub mpa

unless you're fighting a wind weak enemy BO adds nothing to the table, field skills suck and so does heal share
sub su or gu instead, or better yet, switch to an actually useful class combination altogether, this whole support deal sucks hard when outside organized groups

Zanverse is like 20% bonus damage against anything, wind weak or not
well, not if it's actually super resistant, like Elder or something, but most things are at least 1.0x on it
>>147721350
What does su or gu add to the table for a te main?
Why do you conveniently ignore shifta strike, the deband skills, super treatment, et.c.
Maybe you haven't noticed because you're a bad player but 1 te adds a lot to a full MPA.
>>147722020

>>147720515
They probably should have made it more like previous/other games where you could only revive one person at a time in most circumstances
Feels a bit late to make a change like that now in this game, though, considering the game is balanced around Moons working the way they do now
...which still doesn't explain Reverser Field but go fucking figure with that skill
>>147722176
>What does su or gu add to the table for a te main?
21%/20% more or less unconditional zanverse damage respectively, aswell as better ability to help push chain for your Br/Gu with twice chain, also possible compound + CT memes. Basically, he suggested builds that are EVEN MORE situatonal than Te/Bo and don't work at all outside of organised MPAs.
>>147722606
I think he's misunderstood. TeBo isn't even about the zanverse.
I play TeBo cause I want to Te main but I've grown tired of whacking things with wands. Jet boots are fun, so that's what I play.
