The Newest Emergency Quest Takes The Battle To Space!

~ May 29th, 2019 ~

 

Armada of Demise

Pilot a new model of A.I.S and intercept a flotilla of Shiva's starships in the [Armada of Demise] Emergency Quest! The cosmic battlefield is split into three Sectors that will be visited sequentially as time progresses.

During Sectors 1 & 2, [Interception Points] can be racked up by wiping out Luminmechs and enemy warships. Your accumulated points will influence the item drops received in Sector 3. Furthermore, the total points earned by all ARKS on the Ship will go towards a reward boost once the quest ends.

Each sector will occur during a particular time period. You can do Sector 1 & 2 repeatedly to rack up points.

PSO2 JP: Maintenance (05/22/2019)

English Patch Temp Fix

Update: Gameguard seems to have rollbacked their update. You should be able to play as before.

Gameguard has received an update resulting in the PSO2 Tweaker Plugins for the Text Translations and the Proxy to crash PSO2 before start up. You'll need to disable these plugins on the Tweaker until a fix is found.

A work around to still play the game in English is by downloading the patch and applying it manually. If you required the proxy to play the game, you'll need to use a VPN.
