PSO2 Station #20 Recap

Warning! This post is updating in real time!
Please take note as the information below is subject to change.

June 9th Stream

Secret Phrase

  • Say the phrase スクショ映えするロビアクちょうだい to receive two new Lobby Actions

June 13th Update Reminder

  • SG Scratch with Layered Wear outfits.

Simple Compound Technics

  • Simple Compound Technics will only be used through PP consumption.
  • They are available to Fo and Te, and can be set to Rod, Wand, or Talis.
  • You can place it to your Weapon Palette or Sub-Palette.
  • While their PP consumption is heavy, their effects are quite strong.
  • They unlock by clearing Marlu's Client Orders

Wand PA Heavy Hammer

  • It's set up with [Non-Charge], [Charge], and [2nd Charge] behaviors.
  • The PA is treated as a "Striking Attack"
  • For Lavis Canon, its shockwave attack can hurl out with the PA.

Pet Color Variations

  • Pet Color Variations come from rare eggs with a different color.

Dark Blast [Transparent Ver]

  • Transparent version can use your character's voice.

Arks Rappy Suit Mini

  • The Arks Rappy Suit Mini can drop on any difficulty. However, you'll have a better chance at nabbing it on Extra Hard.

 

Player Icons

  • Players under certain conditions will have icons overhead.
  • Beginners have an icon that looks like sprouting leaves.
  • Returners have an icon that looks like a blooming flower.
  • Returners are players who haven't logged in for more than 30+ days.
  • There's also a special bonus.
  • For example, partying with a returning player provides the effect:
    • Triboost + 50%
    • Featured Quest Reward + 1

Event Quest: Arkuma Land

  • Apostolo Dragon: A new reskinned boss will appear in the quest.
  • ★14 Zirenheit NT will drop
    • The potential is the same, but the weapon will support S-Class Abilities
  • The Homura Series can be obtained as a drop or through Xie.
  • Homura weapon upgrade requires the following:
    • Homura Weapon +35 (and) 9 Stones of some kind.
  • Shien weapons support S-Class Abilities S1~S3
  • Guren weapons will instead have high base specs.
  • Basilis Collection File will be revived around the release of this quest.

Future Balance Adjustments

  • L/Air Reversal
  • L/Step Jump
  • L/Step JA Combo
  • L/J Reversal JA Combo

Skills in which you can acquire the effects of the aforementioned rings, will be added into the Skill Tree of each class. They will be implemented as Class Skills that unlock when you reach a certain level. You will be able to learn them without spending any Skill Points.

  • Divine Raikou

To prevent the over-reliance on Divine Raikou, the following will change. Rapid Shoot's recast time will be the equivalent of Divine Raikou's potential at level 3. In exchange, Divine Raikou will have a different potential.

The above mentioned balance adjustments should be implemented in October. In addition, those who own the items/rings mentioned above will receive some form of compensation in the future. You will qualify even if you embedded those rings.

 

If it doesn't load, right click and press [Copy Video URL] and paste in a tab.

Bullet Bow Mobility Adjustments

  • Bullet Bow will have some features to make it more nimble.
  • This can be seen through the video above.
  • You can attack and slide!
  • The sliding comes with some short invincibility.

All Weapon Double Jump Support

  • Gunslash will indeed receive double jump support in the future. For the barehanded fighting style, they're investigating whether it should support double jumps or not.
  • Make sure to read the previous recap to understand this section.

Mother & Deus Quest

  • They have no plans to revive the collection file, however, their ★13 weapons will be easier to drop. Any new weapons from this quest will remain a secret ♥!

Enchanted Forest Free Field

  • The Enchanted Forest will be updated as new enemies are added to Omega.

S-Class Ability Swapping [Under Development]

  • This is under development but they are working on a feature where you can swap S-Class Ability between weapons or something. It could be something like, you could swap [Weapon A's] and [Weapon B's] S-ability. They're going to charge Meseta for this service.
