[PSO2:NGS] How To MARS

[@ImmortalLorient]

I just want more to do in this game. It's great that Sega is adding new skills and systems, but there's barely any stuff to use them on unless you want to run the same 3 pieces of content on a constant loop.

[@tj3423]

Yeah I agree, the mars is cool and all but I didn't really want new ways to kills things, I want new things to actually do

[@KorgCrimson]

Really? I've been seeing how MARS changes everything in the game new and old. Its given me a ton of things to do.

[@vashstampede5933]

@@ImmortalLorient Oh, there is plenty to use MARS on, just not much that could survive it's sheer two minutes of hell it can dish out, aside from bosses. Even the gigantix mobs melt pretty good from some blasts from Hydra. XD

[@Aces-to-Ashes]

I love that scyllas weapon action is a super long build-up orbital cannon and destroys everything in a large area, mars is very cool

[@DenilsondeSouzaSantana]

Since I play the Ranger class the most, the Hydra and Scyllas Configuration was the one I liked the most. You can do the Death Circle on the bosses with insane ease, and you can even play Photon Cannon from the Marvel Super Heroes game, or a Gundam! I really liked the system! It's fun!

[@Harucardiel]

Not gonna lie, was kinda hoping for a mini story of us finding it with manon or something, or zephetto left a message saying "hey its dangerous to go alone, take this" kinda situation.

[@beardalaxy]

there being NO story for it is a huge disappointment, especially when they were alluding to it in the previous story. i'm starting to believe we really won't get any more story until next year.

[@RinrinFran]

Think we'll prolly get that via story scenes even if it's already unlocked for now. Maybe we'll even get a scene for it during our fight with purple pepsi man.

[@RIzzlessMF]

It kinda went by like Luster in base pso2. > Gets released as the final scion class > outperform and encompass every pros of existing scion classes and ignoring cons >Refuses to elaborate >stays

[@GHR93]

The story thing besides the new M.E.H. system.... in 2027

[@velocityhdmi8140]

Good because I don't like the story it's uninteresting and stale I always skip

[@kagerisu]

I hope the training center can be a permanent quest

[@spacemanmonster23]

Oh hey Kag.

[@seymourcarson]

I enjoyed the MARS. Was blown away when I was testing out the moves and the special weapon action on the wand just drops a laser cannon from the sky! 😂 I was like oh damn…

[@MJDiaz_]

If only they add a preview clip/ video for these skills when you look at them.

[@gadgaurd3139]

Didn't even think about people buying UQ triggers to farm the M.A.R.S Updaters. Thanks kero, gonna go sell my whole stock.

[@carlosballesteros2574]

My big surprise was getting might, precision, techniques V

[@SquircleYT]

I’m not too sold on MARS yet. I’m best in slot on all gear and armor, and we were told that it would scale off of our gear. However, it doesn’t seem to scale off of our potency unless I’m just missing something. It’s not anywhere near as good as I thought it would be. Granted I haven’t maxed out MARS yet, but everything is at least level 5 and all levels after are worth way less per level.

[@JRDeBo]

I believe it scales off of your BP, and right now, the top scale is 4000BP and higher.

[@SquircleYT]

@@JRDeBo Yeah, that seems to be the consensus. I’m north of 4300+ BP with 292% potency, so I just expected it to scale better. Maybe that’s just on me for having higher expectations for it after hearing them say it would scale with gear. I really do like the concept and looks of MARS though, and while I’m not sold on it currently, I’ll hold off on final judgement until I get more skill points.

[@Voxnola]

I really like Scylla's giant space laser lmfao

[@RB_10d6tbacon]

I love the hydra central canon mode its very accurate to the real thing, takes forever to set up but deal massive damage, first time seeing 240000 for falz

[@SchuteNGS]

I’m loving MARS! Totally scratches the sci-fi battle suit itch!

[@lujunngame]

Thanks for the easy to digest yet detailed breakdown!

[@LunaRosaOkami]

I feel like with mars it personally feels definitely significantly more stronger and on breaks with bosses nidhogr with blight and shifts/deband really tops out the max damage possible with a well timed weapon action charge absolutely melts boss HP and definitely makes harder content easier but also at the same time still uses a good balance of personal skill for it to make the most out of it

[@DustinDonald-cz9ot]

You can farm the M.A.R.S skill points in the lv 90 areas as well i.e Resol, Lab, Mt. Magnus so you just don't have to do triggers although they are far more common that way. I have done about 10 triggers and gotten a point 9 out of the 10 times without using increased drop rates so they aren't 100% but very common more rare to not get one than getting one.

[@RinrinFran]

Scylla during pse burst. It ain't just my character bursting, that's for sure.

[@DynoSkrimisher]

I choose the form of Gundam!!

[@EatMoreVitamins]

i’ve been getting better at aiming hydra canon and timing it but i really want more time with it to get comfortable with pacing and implementing MARS into boss fights and UQs

[@backgroundcharacter-kun3510]

Shame you cant change the mars setting during the ltq.

[@AzariusR]

Yeah I think it needs to be changeable at least for our Sets of it, because having to only change it from City Hubs is kinda a hassle.

[@Kar-WoLi]

Whenever Kero points out the "High" Prizes I have to laugh, cause its just a low sum. It always sounds like Kero is broke as hell......

[@insecurecomb1822]

The c is silent in Scylla.

[@ngshighlites7507]

Still pronouncing it with the C, reminds me of a high school crush Skyla😊

[@mitchellhayes2850]

I love the MARS its sick

[@blackphantom446]

If u have added wasted ur skill points then u can re-add them in the mars2 or mars3 preset

[@paterpater100]

i just wish we could make the MARS invisible like weapon camos.

[@michaelsand8857]

btw the M.A.R.S system scales with ur weapon

[@LordFrostDeath]

Can confirm it is not 100%. Did Normal Lv90 DF, no Updater. Did Lv90 Aegis, it dropped.

[@commandodante13]

i got the updater on DF lv90

[@AttisSoul]

i like spam clicking nidhoggr weapon action for range melee

[@commandodante13]

i already set my MARS into Hydra s my primary

[@NeocrimsonX]

Using Hydra and Scylla I herby dub this my charybdis formation.

[@joeythegoth]

It's an alright system I just find the system kinda slow and clunky

[@vashstampede5933]

Speed is definitely not the M.A.R.S. strong suit, it's power more than makes up for that though, Hydra should absolutely crush bosses during down phases with that cannon.

[@somfplease]

not sure how i feel about the mars updater skill point system. it's going to make professional farming teams get on a level far above everyone else very quickly. not sure how else you would implement it though.

[@delightXD]

It is very diminishing return both on power distribution and updates to skill point conversion rate so it is really not an issue.

[@Basojin]

What if you are a ranger, can you apply weakbullet/blight in mars form?

[@DarkRa64]

so the MARS weapons are basacly the SUV weapons from PSU?

[@GXtera]

not much to do in this update, they gave us the laziest high rank update yet, not even a lvl cap

[@GHR93]

obsolete function dead content

[@demondwashington4670]

You know what's crazy is that I'm the cast in this video and I know keroppi is a huge Gundam fan, but in this video none of my accessories are visible and I have a whole wing Gundam zero look that he would have liked but on his PC none of my accessories can be seen😢 I'm curious as to why he couldn't see my entire look... I wonder if it's a glitch or maybe it has something to do with the fact that I'm on console... But that shouldn't matter... should it? 🤔🧐

[@keroppi]

It’s my graphics settings! Because I’m using my laptop. To increase my FPS I’ve disabled other player accessories. Sorry!

[@PASomethingorOther]

Anyone else playing on PC freezing after the update?

[@danteshollowedgrounds]

Oh boy oh wow man I'm feeling a bit underwhelmed lowkey. EDIT: Ok, okay just 50 skill points got it thanks 😌👌 *NOLIFING SYSTEMS GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!* here I come 😎

[@FollowTheFaceless]

Wingards drop like trash in the forest now lol

[@ScruffytheNerfHerder]

Only five seconds in and I'm sorry I gotta say it... saying MARS system is like saying ATM machine, the "system" is part of the acronym... the Phantasy Star community needs to nip this in the bud before it gets out of hand

[@HMNNO]

No idea what you're talking about

[@RIzzlessMF]

Lmao, spiderverse reference.

[@ScruffytheNerfHerder]

MARS stands for Multirole ARKS Reactive System, it's an acronym, so to say MARS system you are actually saying Multirole ARKS Reactive System system, just like if you say ATM machine you are saying Automated Teller Machine machine

[@ScruffytheNerfHerder]

And I can fix it, all they would have to do is say the A stands for Assault and S stands for Suppression, changing the acronym to Multirole Assault Reactive Suppression, then you could say MARS system and it would still make sense

[@lambasted6886]

​@HMNNO ATM stands for "Automatic Teller Machine", but a lot of people say "ATM machine", so saying "machine" is redundant IMHO opinion.

[@jecbunsoPG]

Present!!! 🐼🥰🐼🥰🐼

[@whereislisa.3804]

Is there any way to change the colors of your mars?

[@vashstampede5933]

The color seems to be tied to certain colors, perhaps CAST body part colors, as mine currently matches my OG RAcast outfit's primary color I use as a "mobile powered armor suit".

[@-LastStand-]

On mine, it matched the color of my basewear for exospine.

[@HUMANDREDROOT]

The mars system is a recycled idea from psu its suv weapons

[@spacemanmonster23]

[@PureMerpy]

Thank u

[@wandererchannel9953]

Thanks kero bro for this detailed breakdown and analysis on M.A.R.S while it was still new. Yuss!!

[@indriyantoYin]

First

[@Dab510]

Since I'm on JP server, I'll have to wait for the translators to update the EN translator patch before I allocate my MARS skill points I definitely missed that ranged mob during the MARS testing area & didn't know you can change your MARS weapons. Good thing I watched this. Thx I'll be checking the MARS language if there's EN voice on JP server & I'll test it if it's available, then change back depends on if I really want to understand what it says every time I use it
