Phantasy Star Online 2

So me and a friend were gonna lan party this all weekend.

Thurs night I log out of game, shut down pc and windows does an update. No biggie. I take pc upstairs with my friends boot up and launch game. Launcher comes up, click start game, stuff happens but game never appears. Troubleshoot it nothing I do seems to work. End up uninstalling it all and reinstalling it and that fixed it. Lots of manual deleting of files though. Tweaker never fixed my issue.

Then fri morning friend and I start the gaming session and on his pc the launcher icon does nothing when he clicks it. Nothing shows. He tries tweaker no go. He then starts getting an error that a link isn't found when he tries to launch. He then does every single thing in tweaker and game finally launches but in japanese. He picked na version. So he says fuck it, uninstalls it, deletes pso2bin folder and then tries to redownload from windows store. "Error" is all he gets because it thinks it's still downloaded (the 11gb downloads in like 5 seconds). He tries to delete it out of windows apps but that folder is so protected that theres no way he can get permissions to change it he even gets access denied using psexec and as system account. It's just fucked. He has no choice but to reset pc which he does. He then redownload game and all is well and works fine.

The fact that this game made it to the west because of Microsoft, but at the same time Microsoft bungled this mess beyond any reasonable measure is completely inexcusable. There isn't even a proper uninstall that removes the game, it only ever removes the 11gb.

If this game wasnt so fun I'd throw this shit in the garbage. It's a shame that this thing is suffering due to these unacceptable issues.

This is why people still like consoles.

This is literally the only game I've heard of with this problem for as far back as I can remember

Gears of war on the windows store was a piece of shit as well with install bugs and errors. The main issue is that windows does not let you into the windows apps folder to delete folders there. Theres NO WAY to do so. In my friends case that's what we needed.

The system and store thought the game was gone but it wasnt and it could not be manually deleted.

And finished..




Few pointers that could have made this 3 times faster that I never knew about and kinda discovered myself or over time grouped with others. If you're starting off and you want to do 75 to everything. It only covers leveling and not things like mags, etc.

Most important thing to note -- EXP Boots +50% and Triboost +50% (and +100% versions) are plentiful. No need to not use these unless you know you wont be getting exp that much. Get alliance EXP buff as often as reasonable. Get concert buff when you can (It's another 25% triboost). Most important note is that EVERYTHING stacks. EXP Boost stacks with Triboost which stats with alliance buff which stacks with concert buff. Having all of these on will make exp fly.

1. Start with a Ranger/Hunter. Level to 40 or so as best you can. Just use a launcher, no need to use the rifle and never need to use a gunblade. Get ranger to 75 (And hunter will get to 55). Get a Shooting Drive launcher from the unique badge shop for 400 badges once you max ranger. Work on +30ing this over time.
2. Change subclass to everything else and level each one to at least 40 (But 45+ recommended) through VHAQFFs. In other words, Ranger/Summoner, Ranger/Techter, Ranger/Fighter, etc etc.
3. Once everything is at least 40, then start maining those classes, and subbing ranger. Just continue to use the shooting drive when you can. It only requires 450 dex, which should not be overly difficult to obtain.
4. Your goal is basically set to run the very hard difficulty Advance Directive: Floating Facility (aka VHAQFF).
5. Goal is to basically get a PSE burst and in a good party, you should be able to get at least 1-2 full levels per run assuming you have at least 1 burst. I was in a great group today and I got 7 levels in one run in the late 50s/early 60s.
6. If your group is shit just leave. A good group will fight together, mag chain correctly, know when the burst is coming (Lv 8) and always run to a corner or correct area for the burst.

can someone explain to me how i get lambda grinders? need 16 for my ring only came about 3 of em so far randomly...

I can help with most of what you need. The best way that I know of atm to get Lambda Grinders is to turn in 3 tier 12 weapons into the swap shop. Each time you run an exceptionally hard magetsu you'll probably get at least 6 of these (assuming you run 4x first phase and the second phase). You can get them from the fresh finds store for 900k each but this is stupid overpriced, since you can buy tier 12 weapons from the market (Sigmas) for as low as 20k each so each grinder is about 60k.

Also the current login campaign, you get 10 grinders and 3 lambda per day by checking the visiphone and claiming it. You also get 3 per day for doing dailies.
