Guess I'll bump this after nearly a month.

Well, let me know what quests you want me to do next?

For casts, any S-Rank with Zalure can be very useful when soloing. Shot or Needle for RAngers, Rifle can be useful too. Handgun is good if you have both HU and RA. Otherwise Slicer/J-Cutter for HU. Or you could just have Jean-Luc Picard as your commanding officer.

Maybe he deactivated it so people use it less, considering there is (has been?) always a chance your character gets set to level 1 and all items gone if you use it. I for one don't dare using Dressing Room at all for this very reason. On-topic ... not sure if it has been asked before, would it be possible to have some kind of command that disables using specific materials so that you can't mess up your mat plan by accidentally using undesired materials? Say, for example, /mat x = allow Material, /nomat x = disallow Material, where x corresponds to a specific material like 1 for Pow, 2 for Mind etc.

Trouble is, a lot of new players are being pulled up to higher levels in random parties doing quests like TTF, gaining a lot of exp while not really learning how to play. Back in the Dreamcast version, I was handed down all kinds of items (most likely hacked stuff but at that time I had no idea) and in hindsight, at level 100 I still was playing pretty noobish. Then I got into Challenge Mode, and that helped immensely to get better at the game.

So now that the green names are gone, I hope everyone made good use of them (read: leveled up, or grabbed some vitamins by having lots of Bananas). I'm going to switch to Orb hunting now and I'll share my thoughts on this. I'm aware not everyone is geared enough to solo a difficult quest like LHB (or even ROCT) and there's nothing wrong with having a full party. But I feel the most efficient way would be to do 2 players with Individual Drops provided both players know what they're doing and are able to pull their weight so they can dispatch of the enemies quickly, hence knowing the spawns is imperative. I've done a couple of first tower only LHB runs on RAcast with multicliented FO to provide SD30 (the FO also acts as "item pickup" slave). I can solo the quest too, but it takes a few minutes longer due to not always having SD. The multiclient run takes me roughly 30 minutes, so for a "true" 2 player party using Individual Drops with its 67% DAR (if this number is indeed correct), the party should be able to finish a run in 20 minutes to compensate for the DAR reduction. Obviously 3P would require 15 minutes (if it's 50% DAR) etc. Feel free to leave feedback.

Well, I just sent you a PM with the fixed file, now line numbers match up again. I hope you didn't do anything with the earlier file I gave back to Cyane. It's kinda funny though, there wasn't actually any honorific stuff that I explained in the other post (I didn't remember as it was 2 or 3 months ago that I did the translation). I think that was the case a couple of years ago though on files I sent to Lee for Schthack.

I didn't see your reply earlier so I'll give you some feedback on this. Yes, I removed a few select lines because in some cases the original Japanese text contains some of the honorific "filler" that is somewhat unique to the language and that I deem somewhat redundant. I'm talking of stuff like "otsukaresama" which indeed, as the article in the link tells you, isn't really used in our western world so in such cases I just omitted some instances. Sometimes I had to move stuff around to accomodate for the grammar differences between JP and EN. Also, in a few other cases I tried to condense text by simply removing one instance of "add_msg". It should not be a problem for the quest to work as it is merely a chat bubble/button press, but I wasn't aware this would be more troublesome for you since the number of lines does not match up anymore, I'm sorry about that. I know it is not perfect but the majority of the work was done. However, "quest info, name, description, longer description" as far as I remember was not provided in the JP file that Cyane sent me. I just had a look, the original had 1676 lines of text and my translation has 1671, so I removed 5 lines total. I'll post again in a few minutes with some details.

Pretty cool renders, I guess you got the models out of PSO somehow. Maybe the staff could ask you to do something for banners/event banners (unless Cyane is put out of a job by that).

Sure thing, Pika-Kōhai. We can do this right now if you want, otherwise just let me know when.

Time for a bump. There you go, topic.

Got this during Banana hunts:

Pretty sure it's the one I translated and sent to Cy about 2 months ago. Definitely needs some tweaks because of the original Sega rewards, and for that matter also additional changes to the text to reflect the tweaks.

That list by Night ... too much high-tier stuff that (almost obviously) won't have an upgrade. I'd check some of the lower gear. If my thumb wasn't messed up right now I'd be in Tower and help with this cause ...

Just a thought, but maybe there are even non-rare weapons on which the orb could be used? I don't have any orb so I can't do any testing.

I think I witnessed a similar thing when I played in HH a few hours ago on my RAcast. Pretty sure he has used all the materials he can yet the Def Materials on the ground showed up in white rather than grey text (I didn't see any Pow or Evade drop in that area).

Here's a bigger picture of the weapon. By the way, it dropped on Oran, so this ID is confirmed (sure, it was said everything drops on all IDs but who knows if it is really true?)

Any bonus stats the Red Ring had will be lost. Maybe there are combinations when multiple players have different costumes on ...

Yeah, but some people sell them

Ketchup, your RAcast is holding the weapon in the wrong direction ... By the way, Misombre ... you might want to remove the black colour tag from most of the text in your first post because it is almost impossible to read when using one of the two dark forum themes.

Max HP mats + 2x Heavenly/HP ... or no HP mats and 3x Noob/HP?

Wow, I just checked my link again. I didn't even notice that bit about "French" below the left input field ... well, now I'm truly confused.
