I also heard you can assign yourself and your friends to that board to use them.
I want to do this.
フレンドパートナー or something similar in the visiophone and the first choice after that. Friends' characters are in the second tab in the npc selection window.

Alright so I've finished the tutorial and now I'm in the main lobby area thing trying to figure things out. How can I tell what block I'm in? I'm on ship 2
EDIT: Ok never mind I found the block changer.

So I decided to fight the City boss... at Level 8 Force... all by myself.
I only gotten as far as destroying the first leg. And as time was almost up, I was leg-swept. Literally.

If you're without a proper team, join some randoms. I've killed my first Dark Ragne in the closed beta days with someone I didn't even know.
Oh, so can you do it even if you don't have friends to choose from?
Anyway, it took me quite a few tries, but with the help of some random players we finally cleared the caves boss mission in 15 mins, S rank! We got especially lucky as only one boss enemy appeared instead of two, and we had a team of 3 + 1 NPC.
Onto caves free field...
It hasn't updated for 2 days. I'm guessing that plans changed so now whoever manages the account is holding off from posting.
To be honest, if you're a melee class don't even think of going against the boss only with NPCs. This thing is brutal.

Does PSO2 usually take a thousand years to start? Just been sitting on a screen with three bars slowly filling up with blue for the past 15 minutes.
That is a 3GB patch....have fun waiting lol
Patching...be prepared to wait ages. Its a big patch.

Noooooooooooooooo
Ranger. I had a team of randoms with me and we took it down fairly easily, but there was a death or two. Was fun!
Question: what's the best way to compare stats when equipping weapons? using the F5 menu, it seems it only compared stats to the currently equipped weapon, so you have to keep going in and out and changing it.

Finally got it running.
Promptly switched it off after being bombarded with Japanese text

Yeah, they become "soulbound" after equipping them.Found red weapon and when I try to equip it the following dialog pops up
So those weapons are bound to the account once they are equipped?

You are correct. Anything 7 stars and up, I believe. Not sure if the binding is to your account, or to your character.

It's not THAT bad. Generally the things you need to click are pretty obvious. Plenty of guides out there too.
This. Also a small note, "next" is usually the left button and "back" is usually the right button.
Anyway, here's a list with several guides:

It sounds like I have an acquaintance who is willing to buy up the books from Amazon or somewhere. Is anyone else in the US interested in getting these for what will hopefully be less than the highway robbery Play-Asia wants (and less than Amazon wanting $39.21 for shipping one copy directly to me)? I can receive the books and reship from here at cost.
Level 14 and I don't think I will be able to solo this Cave mission
I solo'd it myself earlier, but the planets literally have to align for you to succeed at it.
Which one? Dragon I'm probably iffy about right now, but the snake head thing I actually crushed on my first try as Hunter.Level 14 and I don't think I will be able to solo this Cave mission
If you haven't bought a nice wep from player stores that could help you out. Armor is a big deal as well. All my armor is luckily good from drops, but I have a +10 sword I bought for like 40k.
Check your PMs.

Okay, enough people expressed interest that I'm going to go ahead and get a few of the books. If you haven't already sent me a PM and want one shipped to you within the US, please do so before 9 AM EDT on 7/1 (Sunday) so I know how many to order! Current estimates based on how many orders I have to take now suggest the cost is going to be around $22 a head - sadly not much less expensive than Play-Asia's asking price, but at least it should arrive faster than their current 5-15d estimate. This could change depending on the total number of orders - sorry about the uncertainty!
if anyone could tell me what this is about, that would be greatly appreciated. I have no idea what it says

Are you sharing accounts? Its asking for a key they emailed you
Thanks.
And no, i haven't shared my account with anyone, but now it makes me worried someone might be accessing it somehow, oh well. it's not a huge deal.
I accidentally uninstalled the PSO2 client earlier =/ lol in the start menu, the uninstall button, didn't realize i hit it. So now i gotta wait till the patch is downloaded again. I did get an email with a code, so I'm hoping that works.
I wouldn't worry. I installed on a second computer and Sega sent me that code because it recognize that I was playing on a different machine. If you got the code you should be all set.

Is the second story quest not in the game yet? Finished the key matters on the second board but no Shion, or any new quest.
I've finished both boards and there was no second quest...
Questions...
1) In regards to weapons, does greyed out mean I can't use it yet, but I will be able to at some point? And greyed out with a red X means I'll never be able to use it? What about greyed out, red x, AND a lock next to it? lol
2) i asked before: "what's the best way to compare stats when equipping weapons? using the F5 menu, it seems it only compared stats to the currently equipped weapon, so you have to keep going in and out and changing it."
3) what weapons can Rangers use all together? i have a few partisans and wands but it's a no-go currently (lvl 15). Can casts use wands/magic in this game?
4) is there a way to upgrade how fast you use/drink potions? that'd be a good thing to be able to upgrade.
ANYWAY, I just unlocked the desert area and did the 3 missions. Damn, best area in the game imo. Mainly when you get to desert 2 and 3. The design is pretty awesome and the enemies are interesting too (especially the robot that refuses to die haha. and the shadowy eye thing). Makes me hope for a Mines-esque level!
Can't wait to see what the Metro level looks like.

1) and 3) For weapons, each class has the types they can use:
Hunter - Sword, Wired Lance, Partizan, Gunblade
Ranger - Rifle, Rocket Launcher, Gunblade
Force - Staff, Cards, Gunblade
To equip a weapon your main stat (direct damage, shooting damage, magic damage) has to meet weapon's requirement.
2) As for equipping, I click on the equipped weapon I want to compare/switch in the f5 menu (I don't use shortcuts but I guess that's it) and highlight the new one.
4) What? It's almost instant, but there's an animation so that you can't spam it. Not upgradeable.
In the F5 menu for me, even if I click on different weapons, it only compares stats to the the equipped weapon (the row that's highlighted orange)
And hmm, surprising that classes can't use ANY weapons outside their mains. I guess class changing is easier than ever though, so it kind of makes sense. EDIT: Man, of course Hunter gets an extra weapon! lol
And for me, I've died/almost died too many times because of the length it takes to use a Dimate/Trimate. Correct me if I'm wrong but weren't previous games instant? I don't mind if there's some delay after youre healed, but the delay before it takes effect can be deadly lol

You're right, didn't notice that.
Edit:
New information from Connect!On, you can read them translated om bumped.org.
Here's a sample:
Edward is definitely teasing something, unless he is just really bored and feels like trolling Phantasy Star fans, lol. So if it is PSO2, and it better be, otherwise this teasing is just plain evil, it looks like we will be getting it soon.

Just had a weird Vol Dragon emergency code. Periodically while I travelled through Caves 2 I'd hear it roar and the screen would do this weird velocity effect. Caves 2 was also abnormally short, sure enough there was a Vol Dragon at the end of the alternate path.
And then I died cause they also decided to throw a Code Avoid on me at the same time.

Is today just a bad day or did the online population of the GAF guild drop massively? :/

I can't speak for everyone, but there was a pretty massive storm last night that has left a significant number of people in the US Mid-Atlantic without power. Myself included.
