I just spent 45 minutes fighting the level 10 cyclops battle and I'm toast after getting him to about 10%. I think this is supposed to be a group quest/battle :lol Used up all three golden stones :/

What kind of wireless device (Like a router or one of those wi-fi devices you can connect to a desktop to get Wi-Fi?) and is it possible to do it on a school network? (Since VPN's work on computers.)
Well that's going to take some time lol. Thank you for the info.
Any that can connect to a wireless network can be used to broadcast a wireless signal too. You can also do it wired. Grab school internet on your PC, enable VPN, share internet either via a second wireless device or an Ethernet cable to your PS4.
Okay.
So... I have one of these... (Not exactly this one but you get the idea.)
Could I use this?
Or can I plug my Ethernet from my PS4 into my laptop and use that? I really need to know so my Proxy woes can be gone.

Damn, i throught bosses had wayy more hp than OG Dark Arisen. I then realized they covered that up with like 10 hp bars where the bar got refilled until the dots under the bar itself went empty. This one just goes with regular HP bar. I was all "maan, why did they do that change?" Until i realized. Bars getting empty quicker felt a bit more satisfying i guess.
I was also kinda dissapointed with some combat changes at first, an example was how you could delay a regular light hit and it would turn into an alternative combo. That was until i realized you unlocked it as a core skill at like lvl 9, so i guess that took care of that.
I really like the world too. While i guess the game aint pretty in any technical way, but the envoriment is so damn pretty anyway. The tavern is coozy as hell, the grass plains are really pretty and the caves are atmospheric as hell. Even music is on par with the original DD soundtrack so far.
This game is straight up 10/10 for me so far. I just hope i don't encounter some crazy paywall later in the game.

Okay so I...
Attach my PS4 Ethernet to my laptop which is using VPN via Wi-Fi. I then click on the option to share. I then change my settings on my PS4 to ethernet and it should work?
Damn, was hoping I wouldn't need to use Wi-Fi.

Did the servers just go down for maintenance? I was in but got kicked. There's a message up that has a time on it 10:00 - 14:00 @_@
I think it did.... Fuck everything... I finally get around my proxy issue and this happens.

Ugh, four hour maintenance just as I'm reaching the end of a quest. Why is this an always-online MMO again? I've seen literally zero justification thus far, it seems like DD with co-op and buried microtransactions.
I'd pay $40 for an offline/asynchronous version in a heartbeat.

But...but i just sat down to play
Well crap I was excited to join the Gaf guild too T_TAh well, thanks for the update.
Because this way it will make money for years and it will be way more than a measly $40 per user.

I mean, I've seen like no reason to touch any of the microtransactions in this game so far. I'd imagine the vast majority of players won't ever spend a dime on them.
I feel like this game is only F2P because Capcom is nearly out of money, to the point where their Panta Rhei engine hasn't seen the light of day and their other planned F2P game, Deep Down, was evidently too ambitious/costly and is now likely vaporware. Maybe if they were satisfied making a solid $40-60 per user, they'd still be able to put out AAA games without the support of other publishers.
Capcom is simultaneously one of the best developers and one of the worst publishers in the entire industry. Their endless supplies of talent and creativity have been totally poisoned by their business practices.

Look familiar?
So, after spending about a half a dozen hours with the game, I can easily say I enjoy this much more than FFXIV. 60 FPS, smooth combat, being able to climb up the enemies like in DD, the music is great too.
Imagining how much I'd enjoy it if I could understand all the text. xD
It's not that uncommon for Japanese F2P MMOs to not be full of atrocious microtransactions. Granted I've only played a few of them, but it feels like people usually pay only if they're "power users" and want to get the most of out the game, grind more effectively etc.
That said, wasn't there a campaign at launch which granted everyone the effect of the 1500 (?) yen monthly Adventurer's Pack for 3 days?
Also, I don't know how bad it is in the full release, but during the beta Gacha items way stronger than anything you could get/craft on the same level.

What's error E-99-06? Proxy still works but I can't continue downloading the +5GB patch.
edit: ah so it's maintenance?
Just when I was planning to let it download overnight at those terrible speeds and be ready to play the next morning...

almost time to jump back on
Level 6 now hoping to be 10 by the time I'm done. That's when you can join the guilds, right?

Yeah, they're having some issues. And the maintenance got extended with yet another hour.

Yep and the fact you can destroy monsters without getting hit once. The combat is so damn satisfying.
Thrilled with the game, just hoping an official English release happens.
I really hope an English version comes along... But personally, unlike say PSO2 (which I did play the Japanese version for a bit), the gameplay in this game is just TOOOO good to give up.

I would enjoy this much more if I could understand any of it. I'm going to be quitting until further translations are out.
Great game, really enjoy the combat.

Can you still climb the larger monsters and stab them...?
Yup.

Yup. It's fun being a baka gaijin though
Alright I'm going to work for 4 hours... SOMEONE better apply to the guild by then.
GAF guild is so lonely.
I think the VPN fuckery needed to play the game, combined with the wall that is playing something in a foreign language makes this uber niche status.
Also, the Discord chat invite I linked earlier in the thread was temporary. Oops. Here's a permanent one, for anyone wanting to chat or party up in game.
Quote to reveal.

Thank goodness. Too bad I have to wait for it to finish downloading though, feels like it's gonna take forever.

From top to bottom:
Work speed
Equipment enhancement skill
HQ equipment making skill
Consumable production quantity up
Cost performance (guessing this has to do with number of items used per craft, not 100% sure yet)

In that case, if I can bring myself to work out the VPN stuffs for PS4 I'll be all over it.

Man, the rage modes that bosses go into are a huge buzzkill. You're doing great damage, then the boss gets their stamina gauge and you have to hump them for a few minutes to return them to normal. Or you can shoot weak points that seem to appear and disappear at random for a similarly long time.
Pawns are pretty useless with this too, since most either never attempt to climb the boss or get knocked off immediately. Hopefully Capcom alters this in the future.
Worth noting that I don't think guilds are cross-platform. I've looked for the GAF guild a number of times on a bunch of different servers on PC, no results each time.

Another maintenance going on?
Almost got the sorcerer class unlocked! Just need to do 2 quests and level myself up to 20, and I can finally start casually walking around casting bolide everywhere.
Just about all the mechanics from Dragon's Dogma 1 are still here. The only big thing missing is that you can't lift up and throw small enemies anymore. I've also noticed some missing attacks from enemies (like the dogs can't grab you and pull you away anymore). Maybe they removed those for netcode reasons?
Anyway, overall, the game plays great and they've also added and changed some stuff for the better. The netcode is also great. I've played with a couple of friends and the lag is very minimal. The game is player hosted by the way, so playing on Japanese servers doesn't add any lag.

Yup. It's 2 hours long (unless they extend it like the one yesterday).
