[Multiplatform] Phantasy Star Universe

Sup guys. Here's my info for the game

Character Name: Michael Blackthorne
Race: Human
Battle Type: Hunter
Game Version: PS2 Version

I was amazed that my entire character name fit. I won't be on much till next week though, I'm trying to finish up on Halloween event stuff in City of Heroes before it ends.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Anyone on tonight I can meet up with and swap partner cards with?

How ya doing, buddy?

Do you use a router? Some routers have firewalls that will interfere with random games. I can't play Guild Wars because of mine. My friend's router causes him to randomly get disconnected while playing City of Heroes.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

But the PP on those weapons drop too fast for them to be of any real use.

I think for alot of people the real problem is the change to the targeting system, as in the fact that that targeting system in this is practically non existant unless you'd meleeing. You aren't lined up right with the enemy and you shoot... you just wasted PP.

Also for the people who mentioned using a 360 controller on the PC. How do you set that up exactly? Do you have to install something or just plug one in? A friend of mine is playing the PC version and can't stand playing using just the keyboard.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Anyone planning on being on at all tommorrow? I got the whole day off and I sure could use some more partner cards.

I was speaking idiomatically.

I've had one for almost a week now. I just haven't seen you on to tell you. I was waiting on one I ordered from Amazon when I played with you.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

I know that the PM evolves into the lolibot at level 80, but is that the max production level? Also if I just raise enough striking to get H420 and I put all the rest of my levels into armor, should I still have a pretty decent % for making armor?

Also what effects the production success % for decorations?

FELIPE NO

Me too, we should have like a Meet at the Moatoob Pub.

Most amazing jew boots

I'm planning on going on in about 40 minutes when this file finishes downloading. What Universe would be good to meet up on?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah I'm on the PC version, I wouldn't go with the empty community version. However the file I was downloading took longer then I thought and by the time I got on some reason I had thought you said Universe 18.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

So has anyone done the online story mission yet? You get goggles and a new npc partner card out of it.

Hey Daravon, if you were wondering why someone came in your room and sent you their partner card while you were AFK. That was me. Just letting you know.

I've got a guntecher and I wanted to ask you guys what you think of my set up

Crossbow (Fire) + Wand (Resta and Reverser)
Machine Gun (Lightning) + Dagger
Twin Handguns (Earth)
Longbow (Lightning)
Rifle (Ice)
Shotgun (Fire)

I'm thinking of replacing the dagger with another wand.

How ya doing, buddy?

I already have an adapter on my PS2 so hmmm... also do people go online anymore for the game? Though I guess I should probably get the PC version

Also the next one coming out: Phantasy Star Universe: Ambition of the Illuminus looks pretty interesting

PS2 and PC players play on the same servers. PC has nicer graphics if you got a good PC, so it's really up to which you'd rather play on.

Also, I may consider giving this game another try. I quit playing MMOs, but this isn't really quiet on the same level as those, so I can still have time for other things.

But it seems my guy was level 27 and that's all I really checked on before it went down this morning.

I think there is an option somewhere you have to pick to be able to use the gamepad. I can't give you exact details since I haven't reinstalled it yet (A friend has the disc).

FELIPE NO

Man I really need to get my install disc back... some of those new male outfits look like they came out of Pirates of the Carribean.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

That's pretty crappy Kairi, sorry you gotta deal with that crap. I know when one of my friends was overseas in the military, wherever he was they only had dial up. And he was playing Everquest, you can only imagine the phone bills. Too many countries allow monopolies that screw their citizens it seems like.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Sorry I'm still not back in guys. My friend is having trouble finding the installation disc... Man I do not want to have to buy another copy of the game.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Not sure where to do that. Even if there was a CD key I already have an account so it wouldn't matter though.

PSU doesn't have one, hence why people who get the PC version just download it for free, so all they needed was to pay 10 bucks a month.

You don't need the CD key to install an MMORPG. You just need them to create your account. I've played enough of them to know. Numerous times I decided to go back to a game I thought I never would and had thrown away the disc, rebought the game and let a friend use the CD key from it.

Now regular PC games on the other hand, yeah, then you do need a CD key.

It required a CD Key. I've played enough of them to know. It only takes one.

Not to install it doesn't, to make an account it does. Because that's one of the games that I trashed, then rebought so I could install it and let a friend use the CD key. As long as you have the game and any expansions registered, then you don't need a CD key even if you uninstall the game and reinstall it.

You don't understand what I'm saying, if you already put in a CD key before when you made your account. Even if you say throw the game away and uninstall it. You won't need a CD key to reinstall it because all the CD key is for is registering the game to your account.

Though last night I did get Remilia Norphe, and Rappies didn't spawn... Must have been a bad roll.

And DarkMage, are you gonna download the game and join us?

I was going to download it, but I don't have to now since my friend found the disc finally. Which is good cause it would have taken me more then a day to download it.

I'll be installing it later tonight.

How ya doing, buddy?

Oh for crying out loud. I got it installed now but it keeps timing out when searching for the update patches.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Ugh... it still keeps timing out when I try to update and it's not timing out quickly like I remember it doing before when I played. It's searching for patches for like 3 minutes and then timing out.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
