@Frathlir said in People not joining party or setting down beacons:

I typically try to join a party beacon, but since I had it bite me when the leader went straight onto a new game before I could collect all of my drops i have been reluctant to join them again.

If I don't join a party I am guaranteed to be able to collect my share if the drops.

This this this. I honestly am surprised after all these years on JP this isn't something that was ever addressed. I want to join parties for the extra triboost, but there's no point in having triboost if I'm going to lose all my loot! I keep having rude leaders do this and it's absolutely ridiculous to me that they have a dialog pop up to the party asking if they're ready to go, if the leader can force it. I mean sure, let the leader force it but if they do, it shouldn't pull you unless you consent.

@AHall1983 yes, i know about need of both versions, and i've overcame regional block already, it's only question of space to transfer + i kind of liked MS for it was easy to record via xbox assist tools, and i'm not sure if it'll be possible with steam and yes, after i clear space for it i'll reinstall game, it just wouldn't update which is why i deleted it thx a lot

Oh yeah the Xbox game bar is recording on the Steam build just fine

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if this is related to GameGuard's shoddy attempt at anti cheat which can't even manage to keep RMT bots out of the game.

Anything outside the game trying to interact with it in any way or vice versa has a good chance of being disrupted by that terrible software

If you're still actively playing, Windows Store will screw up and put files in here periodically that need removed, the ones in MutableBackup should be safe to remove. To be honest, I respect MS footing the help getting PSO Global to happen, but the store's been a total mess, and for that I recommend if you're still playing to consider moving to Steam. It has none of these installation issues. HOWEVER, if you do, don't delete your windows store install immediately, Steam version uses Steam to login with, and as convoluted as it may be, you need the Steam and Windows Store builds both installed to link accounts.

Exactly, I think it's a massive design flaw personally. It's meant to be a social game, you get boosts for joining a party, but this actively discourages joining. I think having the prompt is fine, I don't even mind if they keep their force button, but if they force you should be able to leave mid run without following them

Seriously, at the very least let us client side set an option for this to auto drop group or something. PSO is meant to be a social game, but when I finish a (usually urgent) quest with a random group and have no time to loot and some leader just hits the button to FORCE the party into a new copy of the quest with no respect to others what so ever, why do we even have a pop up to bother asking if they can force it?

Not going to deny I sound a bit ticked off here but it's because I just lost 100% of my Yamato loot, again, from some crazy speedster. I guess if you don't loot in 0.5 seconds you just shouldn't group for triboost by the way the design is, which is quite frankly, just dumb. Triboost is great but it seems like every urgent quest I do I have a 50/50 chance of someone sucking all my loot into a trash can, this is very not cool.

Yeah, can't deny that the account linking procedure is quite frankly, sloppy to say the least. When Destiny 2 moved from BattleNet to Steam, all anyone had to do to move, was to go to their website, and login with bnet and Steam, it was done in 2 seconds. This website already lets you log in with both, they have the base login procedure done here already I'm not sure why they didn't just put it in the website like most games would do.

As for Windows Update, windows update and the windows store all the use same backend software for file delivery, so if anyone happens to try to modify windows update to try to hamfist it not to update something they don't want updated or some such, it's very likely going to do things such as break things like the windows store for example.

It's pretty cheesy they did this this way too, since a huge patch arrived at Steam launch as well, meant everyone that was hanging onto the windows store version, planning to move, still had to install that huge patch before they could move. Glad I'm over on Steam now though, should be more stable than the windows store I hope, had that darn thing uninstall my game like 4 times.

Lately I've been starting to play techter more and they're a bit more squishy and ya know, more support oriented. Obviously, techs are the way to go if you're not whapping something with your wand, which I'm really not going to do on a large boss as you're way too vulnerable.

Thing is, I bring the npc allies for help on these things. These allies are of course not as strong as players and rarely if ever will rez if you fall so it's a bigger deal if you're on a failable mission. The thing is, the npcs are not useful if they're not fighting and at least keeping aggro. While they're often pretty reasonable in the regular field, I'm finding time and time again, that their AI just completely stops caring during boss fights. This might be less noticeable if you're playing on something that's more melee range and constantly trying to whack the boss, or they may stay engaged if you're in melee range since you're up there in the boss' face, but when I'm on techter, and am physically trying to not be near the boss and flinging techs, the npc allies are not being useful when they're following me like a lost puppy dog during a boss fight instead of getting in and fighting and keeping them away.

I keep constantly finding myself having to do a crappy kite job on bosses that have hard to see often-one-shot-killing moves, and when the npcs refuse to actually go fight the boss, they're making this harder by not distracting it so I can actually fight the way I'm supposed to. While I can see you not wanting them to get stuck on random trash you're trying to bypass in the regular field and are trying to zoom off, they need to stop disengaging on the boss fights so easily

Yeah, I know, they're not working. I wonder if this is some kind of limitation of this new SG ticket. I know they've been controversial to begin with vs. the AC ones, but maybe these SG ones are bind on pickup only, in which case, that stinks.

I guess the topic pretty much says it all. We got the new Fallen Heroes scratch ticket out, so I hit the shops to see what the prices were doing on the new items. Admittedly, I didn't search for every single item in the ticket, but I searched for a good bit. So far, I've been completely unable to find any of the items I searched for from that ticket in the personal shops. I could understand things being out of stock, but I refuse to believe on a ticket that's over 12 hours old now, that not a single one of the items I searched for exists.

Furthermore, I've used the shop system many times. I understand it's... quirky in how it's search works and that item names have to be exact to work, and it's best to use the search button at the top with a partial search, to find the whole name of an item before searching. So far I have tried numerous new items using that top search box and gotten 0 search results for what to even search for, I've also just searched for the exact names of the new items by hand as well. It seems like every (or maybe nearly? again, didn't check 100% of the items) item are missing from the shop system for some reason, or at least the search, I haven't tried generically browsing and stumbling into any yet.
