ver.2 and ep1&2

[Forge]

I think the major reason why I find DC harder is that the Newmans don't restore TP when idle, and the drop rates and rare enemy rates are PURE EVIL.

Yep, I was doing double figure damage with my spells, and Deband didn't help and it took me like all my fluids just to kill one Bartle. As for melee, it was "miss" all the way, and that's after taking quite a lot of Hit mats too. It was back- to- very- hard- mode- until- you- can- kill- enough- ultimate- forest- creatures- to- find- that- Red- Handgun time. Luckily the Red Handgun isn't too rare... Gosh, that was a terrible experience! You can't say Version 2 Ultimate Mode is easy when you're a soloist.

well my 3 red handguns help me alot
forest is easy (can pass the zones and the boss without getting hit)
caves easy (sometimes i pass without getting hit)
mines a bit painfull
ruins ....i like doing ruins but the boss is no joke. thats why i rarely do ruins
i'm lvl 172
the red weapons are the miracle on ultimate.

I have at least three Red Handguns on Ep1&2 - if only you could dual wield!!!

what about the red mechgun?
the (all red) saber and handgun are very, very easy to find
the dagger and sword are a bit rare but you can still find some of these
the partisan, mech, slicer are extremely rare. (i don't have these)

i 1 way i think that ver.2 is better (look at the faq 1st post)
the god units are alot easier to find on ver.2
the state maintenace is a common item on ver.2
the bad
on ver.2 (i was loking at 2 psoworld faqs) and the ver.2 criatures are alot stronger
atp/evp/ata sometimes are higher on ver.2 but the dfp....is a big jump

one thing is for sure, enemys on ver.2 are more powerfull and the weapons also are more powerfull on ver.2 (the MAJORITY of the weapons/shields/armors are more powerfull on ver.2)
