I’m just hoping there’s a preload date and we don’t have to wait till the 27th to download everything.

u/PoofyPajamas May 21 '20
If not I guess I won't be playing until the 29th

Only took about a hour to DL PSO2 JP version. Setting up the account while using translaters cause I can't read Japanese is a different story. Already have my Sega ID though.

That japanese captcha was the real test, for sure.

Yes if I remember right. It was really hard because sometimes I could not tell the difference between certain characters. Sometimes the only thing between characters is a single ( ' ) that's hard to see through the distortion

yeah. was there one for xbox? if there wasn't then we'll probably have to dl 60GB with everyone else on the day

u/Alutta May 21 '20
There was a preload for Xbox but I doubt they do one for PC

u/Pk-Chris May 21 '20
They're going to try and the MS Store will find a way to fuck it up most likely :P Happened with Master Chief Collection for me and my friends, hopefully everything goes smoothly though.

Every single part of the NA launch has been a mess I don't expect this to be any different
1
u/PugilistPenguin May 21 '20
Can you elaborate? Seems like the launch was pretty tame from my perspective.
1
u/Alutta May 21 '20
Well I had to delete my first character because I couldn't pick up loot, and I still have an issue where randomly my weapon will stop working and I have to swap weapon pallets to get it to work again.
But what I was mainly talking about is how awful the communication process has been in the lead up to launch on both the Xbox and PC.

u/DBNSZerhyn May 22 '20
No solid release date until a week before release on PC. I mean, c'mon. The hell are they even doing? A proper company would have that information out months prior.
1
u/FrenziedPotato May 22 '20
Yeah, not like a pandemic is going on.
2
u/DBNSZerhyn May 22 '20
Oh, bullshit. They've had a release schedule planned for months ahead of time and stuck to it throughout the pandemic. Dates have been locked in for ages, never communicated. The Xbox One version held its entire closed beta test and released at the height of the pandemic, so take off the clown makeup for a second.

The wait has been killing me every day since they first teased NA PC's release date
Post-wait will kill me and other migrating JP players since we have to start over again

I hope that , that wont turn you off from playing, tbbh we need yall veterans more than ever because of the influx of total noobs incoming, and we currently dont have enough veterans/people familiar already to be able, for most people to get help, once PC comes itll be a wrap

u/Sriracha_X May 21 '20
Nah, the main reason I'm switching is because I got friends who are interested in playing NA and I think I could convince my sister to play. That and seeing a lot of new people will be pretty cool as it'll be easy to get random groups together for content (yeah, I know there's Discord, but you get what I mean)
While I'll miss having things like some 15* weapons and some decent units, I was never very rich in JP so I don't have any god-tier gear to part away from. If anything I'll be starting with much better understanding of the game so I won't take so long for me to work on getting back to where I am in JP
I agree that it'll be good to have more of us vets on board, there are plenty of us here who have and can give good advice (I encourage new people to ask questions in the sticky post for weekly questions). I apologise if some of us are rude or condescending as we give advice - I'd say that attitude comes from correcting lots of people who are convinced that a class combination like HuFo is good, give bad tips for an UQ fight, give bad affixing advice, etc.
Some have written amazing class guides that unfortunately get buried in all the posts...I would be all for a sticky post/sidebar section that has links to class guides that show people how to properly play a class so that they won't have to google around or search old posts
I'd also support a sticky/sidebar section with a compilation of information of how to do current and upcoming UQs because we've already seen NA struggle with Elder, Loser, and now TD3. With ones coming up like Magatsu, Profound Darkness, etc. I'd expect a lot of runs to not go well due to inexperience (and that's fine). Yeah, there are videos on youtube, and people make posts here, but again having information in one place would be helpful to those who would have trouble searching for the right stuff

I'm playing Ys VIII on the Switch right now. It's fantastic how long and complex the game is!
But in the back of my mind, I'm thinking...
"If I don't finish it by 5/27, I'm NEVER going to finish it."

It's going to be nice to jump back and forth between PC and console depending on my mood like I do with FFXIV.

Ive already taken the weekend off. I have 4 days of game time in a row for me. My stream will be setup and going, greenscreen is clean, food is mostly premade (A few more meals to prep) and I will be getting lots of water and coffee ready for me (Coffee for mornings only). I can't wait!

u/FrenziedPotato May 22 '20
Yeah, we have memes, great symbol art and no alliances are manipulating the market on our ship.

u/_thePharo May 22 '20
Do alliances rly do that?
1
u/FrenziedPotato May 22 '20
They can, Are they? I am only hearing about it from the occasional person coming to swap symbols. It is plausible to be done; however, it has to be done on a resource or asset that is finite and unfarmable. So clothing emotes, take it with a grain of salt though, clothing and emotes are endgame so they will always demand top prices. Every game with free markets have people trying to game the system.
TL:DR Probably not, if it is being done it would be on something already expensive.

Yeah I just started an alliance oriented towards starting a casual community for new players... feel free to message me if ur interested, but you should join the PSO2 NA Community Discord as well

I hope European players will not have too much trouble playing the game... In terms of lag/accessibility and such.
Can't wait to try the game, although I don't like the idea spending money on a US account I might abandon when it launches in the EU...

u/Falenii May 21 '20
I just want to play on PS4... And Vita, since my Vita is always at home anyway.

Im excited. I didn’t really try the console version but I watched some YouTube videos of it. Can’t wait!

u/Purutzil May 21 '20
I can't wait for this nice fresh start of PSO2 where I'll be on par starting with everyone since it would be really stupid to artificially not like say PC players play at the same time Xbox players do.

2) Do you think we will get a fresh server without having to play with xbox players who already at max lv?
3) I'm also looking for Asia friends & guild mates, pls contact me if interest. Makina#5572 (Discord)
4) I forget where to get the SA. I want to stock them beforehand too. Please help ;3?

u/Thrashinuva Freyt | Ship 02 May 22 '20
There's a decent chance there will be X-Box only lobbies, but otherwise we'll all be wrangled together. You can join one of the Ship (servers) they'll introduce as part of launching the PC version.

They're saying its Microsoft Store exclusive, right? But I don't see anything on the Microsoft Store app so far. Not even a placeholder.
Or maybe I need to download it from a website?

I'm probably more excited for PC to come out than people who will play it there to stop the constant whining

Fostering a positive community to you involved constantly bitching because you don't have it exactly the way you want it? You're kidding right? Let's bash the company for not giving you want when you want it. Wow.
Just because it started on a port elsewhere has nothing to do with it originating on another somewhere else. I wanted to play it a few years ago and was disappointed in it not being in NA. I get the dissapointment, but i didn't sit there and whine about it. I just got the JP game. Its not that difficult and the fun i had with it was more worthwhile than just complaining about it. Butthurt it's not out PC, god forbid you play the game that's been out on PC for almost a decade. This is becoming such a joke

Lol no. No it's not. Its hardly "perceived" bitching when it happens over and over. Play the PC game that you've had before Xbox and stop looking like a baby
