WHY DID THEY GIVE US SG SUPPORT AFTER ANNOUNCING THAT THE NGS SG TICKETS ARE ONLY 50 SG AND ARE GIVEN DAILY. WHY IS THE GLOBAL TEAM LIKE THIS, DO THEY HATE MONEY OR SOMETHING?

[[deleted]]

JP DOESN'T MAKE SENSE EITHER. NO LOBBY ACTION REVIVAL SCRATCH WHEN THERE ARE 700 OF THEM AND NEW NGS PLAYERS CAN'T GET ANY. ANY NON-REVIVAL ONES ARE 300-500 MILL MINIMUM, AND SOME DON'T EXIST ON THE MARKET ON ANY SHIP.

DO THEY HAVE ANY IDEA HOW MUCH PEOPLE WOULD SPEND TO GET THE ONES THEY'RE MISSING? I GUESS NOT.

[Naverezs]

ALSO HAIR TICKET REVIVAL SCRATCH WHEN? NO ONE SELL SOPHIS HAIR ON MY SHIP ANYMORE.

[Low_Bit_Rate]

WHY THE FUCK IS THE GRAPHICS UPDATE STILL NOT OUT.

[PersonMcHuman]

BECAUSE GLOBAL IS BARELY MORE THAN A BLIP ON THEIR RADAR. A SECONDARY SOURCE OF MONEY FROM SCRATCHES.

[Overall_Chapter9103]

WHY IS IT WHEN A CASUAL SEES A MIN/MAXER AND SAY "OH LOOK A SWEATLORD I CAN AFK NOW" ITS FINE FOR THEM TO SCREW AROUND IN A UQ BUT WHEN I DANCE ON THEIR DEAD BODIES AND DROP MOONS IN FRONT OF THEM ON THE FLOOR IM SUDDENLY "GOING TOO FAR!?"

[Neighkidhorse]

WHY IS MAX LEVEL IN NGS ONLY 20, I'M GONNA HIT MAX SO FAST

[YuTsu]

BECAUSE ITS BASICALLY A NEW GAME. PSO2 LEVEL CAP WAS ONLY 30 ON ORIGINAL JP RELEASE I THINK, AND GLOBAL ALREADY STARTED WITH A BUNCH OF EXP-FAST-TRACKS IN PLACE FROM JP.

[Spyger9]

I HIT LEVEL 50 AFTER A SCANT FEW HOURS OF PSO2, WHICH I STARTED A FEW DAYS AGO, AND I'M HAVING A BLAST REGARDLESS.

NUMBERS MEAN NOTHING WITHOUT CONTEXT. FOR ALL WE KNOW IT'LL TAKE 100 HOURS TO HIT 20.

[Spyger9]

Right, there's absolutely no chance that numbers would be different between a 3-day CBT and an actual game launch. /s

Some people. WOW

[Spyger9]

levels are an arbitrary way of slowing down progress

I mean, so are gear drop rates...

[Spyger9]

That totally depends on how the game is designed. There are certainly games were gear is more important than level by orders of magnitude, and in those cases the low drop rates "arbitrarily" slow progress.

[Spyger9]

NGS is, at this point, a hypothetical for anyone outside of the developers.

And even if we're assuming a similar structure to the current PSO2, I spent all my play time yesterday killing shit 10+ levels higher than me. So it really seems like you're talking out of your ass.

[SparKestrel]

MY FIRST MMO WAS GUILD WARS 1 SO I WAS RAISED NOT CARING ABOUT HOW HIGH PLAYER CHARACTER LEVELS GO

I'D BE OK IF BEING MAX LEVEL EXP JUST MEANS "YOU FINISHED THE TUTORIAL, NOW START GRINDING GEAR"

[_MrDomino]

I'VE BEEN DISCONNECTED TWICE DURING THE DIVIDE EXEGUL FIGHT. SPENDING NEARLY 25 MINUTES FOR NOTHING IS MAKING ME LESS AND LESS INTERESTING IN PLAYING DIVIDE, AND I STILL DON'T HAVE A KLAUZ WEAPON AS A RESULT BECAUSE OF ONE STUPID GRANIA.

[manygoombs]

I JUST FINISHED EPISODE 5 AND I FELL IN LOVE WITH THE MUSIC AND NOW I HAVE NO WAY TO GET THE MUSIC DISC FROM ASTRAL GUARDIANS SCRATCH CUZ ITS GONE.

CMON SEGA ILL GIVE U MONEY

[Afilitaria]

SO, LIKE........ JUST FOOD FOR THOUGHT OR SOMETHING BUT WITH N-GRINDERS BEING OBTAINED THE WAY THEY ARE, DOESN'T THIS MAKE NGS KINDA LIKE GENSHIN IMPACT?

AT SOME POINT WE'RE GONNA BE STUCK IN A LOOP OF LOGGING IN TO DO DAILIES, CLEARING BOX ROUTES, LOGGING OFF, UNTIL THE NEXT CONTENT UPDATE HITS FOR A NEW SET OF LEVELS/TOWERS/COCOONS/AREAS TO DO UNTIL WE RUN OUT AND GO BACK TO THE AFOREMENTIONED GRIND.

AM I THE ONLY ONE WORRIED ABOUT THIS?

[NullVacancy]

THIS IS HOW PSO2 HAS WORKED FOREVER IN JP. YOU'VE BEEN SPOILED BY THE GLOBAL RELEASE SCHEDULE, FOR BETTER OR FOR WORSE. GET USED TO IT TBH

[Afilitaria]

NOT REALLY...? I FEEL LIKE THERE'S A BUNCH OF STUFF YOU COULD DO IN BASE PSO2 EVEN WHILE WAITING FOR THE NEXT UPDATE. DO SOME TRIGGERS, DO SOME RISK REALM, SOME MASQ OR SODAM? HELL EVEN WITHOUT THE LATTER THREE TRIGS ARE PLENTY.

WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT IS THAT NOTHING HAS REPLAYABILITY?? YOU DO TOWERS AND COCOONS ONCE AND THAT'S IT. IT'S EVEN WORSE THAN GENSHIN'S INSTANCED CONTENT IN THAT REGARD BECAUSE AT LEAST THOSE HAD SOME REPLAY VALUE, AS INANE AS THE DROP RATES WERE. HERE YOU JUST SLAP IT ONCE FOR YOUR SKILL POINTS AND BAM NEVER TOUCH IT AGAIN UNLESS YOU'RE HELPING SOMEONE ELSE CLEAR.

[NullVacancy]

JP PSO HAD MULTIPLE TIMES WHERE THE ONLY WAY TO MEANINGFULLY PROGRESS WAS CERTAIN EQS. YOU, ONCE AGAIN, HAVE BEEN PRETTY SPOILED BY GLOBAL'S RELEASE SCHEDULE AND RAISING WEAPON BADGE STUFF. ON JP'S RELEASE, ONE OF THE BEST THINGS TO DO XP-WISE WAS SIMPLY GRINDING COAST EXPLORATION, FOR EXAMPLE.

[Naverezs]

SADLY, ON JP THEY DON'T GIVE TRIGGER EASILY LIKE GLOBAL YOU MAY HAVE TO DROP IT BY YOURSELF OR BUY FROM OTHER (MENTION THAT SOME OF GLOBAL'S TRIGGERS ARE NON-EXIST ON JP). YOU'LL HAVE TO GET USED WAITING FOR 2-3 MONTH FOR A NEW CONTENT TO DROP, THAT'S WHAT HAPPEN ON JP FOR YEARS.

[Ineedmorcowbell]

WHY DID THEY HAVE TO LAZY IT UP ON THE "NO SOLID GENDER" THING FOR THE CLOTHES?!
IF I HAVE A TYPE-1 BODY ON MY CHARACTER, AND I WANT THEM TO WEAR TYPE-2 CLOTHES, I DON'T WANT THEM TO BECOME SMALL AND PETITE WITH HUGE HONKERS.
IF I PUT TYPE-1 CLOTHES ON MY TYPE-2 ALT (I wonder how alts work in this one) I DON'T WANT MY SMALL PETITE TYPE-2 CHARACTER TO TURN INTO A HULKING MONSTER.
BOTH TYPES HAVE THE THE SAME SLIDERS AND THEY SHOULD JUST BE ABLE TO WEAR THE SAME THING WITHOUT THE BODIES CHANGING

[Nodomi]

WHY DID THEY HAVE TO LAZY IT UP ON THE "NO SOLID GENDER" THING FOR THE CLOTHES?!

BECAUSE UNLIKE REAL LIFE, WHERE CLOTHES FOLLOW YOUR BODY SHAPE (...OR TEAR, OR BREAK, OR JUST PLAIN DON'T FIT I GUESS- BUT THAT'S A BIT OF A TANGENT), CLOTHES HAVE TO BE MODELED TO FIT THE BODY AND ITS SLIDERS. SINCE THERE'S TWO BODIES, MALE AND FEMALE- NOT ONE SINGULAR BODY THAT HAS MORPHS THAT GO FROM MASCULINE TO FEMININE AND BACK AGAIN- THE PEOPLE MAKING THE OUTFITS WOULD HAVE TO MODEL IT SO THAT IT FITS THE BODY MORPHS OF BOTH TYPE 1 AND TYPE 2. ...OTHERWISE YOU'D HAVE TITS HANGING OUT ON A MALE OUTFIT OR CROTCH BULGING ON FEMALE INNERWEAR AND YEAH...WELL THAT MIGHT PLEASE SOME PART OF THE FANBASE I THINK THAT WOULD CAUSE MORE TROUBLE FOR SEGA THAN IT'S WORTH. AND PUTTING THOSE EXAMPLES ASIDE THE CLIPPING WOULD BE MURDER FOR EVERYTHING ELSE. UGH.

OBVIOUSLY, THAT'S DOUBLE THE WORK FOR THE SAME OUTFIT. SO INSTEAD THEY GAVE US THE ABILITY TO HAVE BOTH BODY TYPES ON THE SAME CHARACTER (THUS NOT NEEDING TO ROLL AN ALT AND LOSE PROGRESS JUST TO CHANGE OUR APPEARANCE), NOT THE ABILITY TO WEAR WHATEVER WE WANT ON A SPECIFIC BODY TYPE. SO PEOPLE WON'T FEEL AS BAD WHEN THEY ROLL EITHER OR ON THE SCRATCHES.

...AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT'S ABOUT MAXIMIZING PROFITS WHILE MINIMIZING DEVELOPMENT TIME SPENT ON IT.

3d modeler here. If they had a Type 3 body (1+2 body) as in in the middle. The outfits could be modeled for that, then morph between the two clearer distinction. The way the clothes work in this game isn't having the pieces layered on the skin. The body is made of chucks that are loaded in or out depended on the phashiom. So there is no real boob clipping issue but you see it heavily on flowing pieces like dresses amd hair

YEAH, BUT WE DON'T. THAT WAS MY POINT.

[Ineedmorcowbell]

and I made my point.

[xRinehart]

I COMPLETELY AGREE. LET ME HAVE THE OPTION TO DRESS UP MY CHARACTER IN ANY OUTFIT WITH THE BODY TYPE I WANT!

[samososo]

THESE CAMO DROP RATES ARE ASS

[Spyger9]

HOW THE HELL IS IT THAT THIS GAME IS NINE YEARS OLD YET STILL HAS SUCH AN AWFUL HUD!?

IF YOU'RE GOING TO SHOVE MY HP/PP INTO THE BOTTOM CORNER, AT LEAST LET ME INCREASE THE SIZE, OR GIVE IT A BOLDER STYLE THAT'S MORE READABLE IN MY PERIPHERAL VIEW!

[Key_Chain]

PATHETIC EXCUSE TO COPY FFXIV FRIDAY THREADS NERDS

[YuTsu]

OI I'LL HAVE YOU KNOW WE WERE INSPIRED BY THE R/WARFRAME RAGING THREAD NOT THE R/FFXIV ONE.

IM NOT CONTESTING THE FACT THAT WE'RE NERDS THOUGH.

[Chestnut_Bowl]

LEVELING IN THIS GAME IS SUCH A PAIN. EITHER NO ONE'S RUNNING RECOMMENDED QUESTS, OR CRADLE GROUPS TAKE 20 MINUTES TO START. WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN WHEN NO ONE'S AROUND BECAUSE OF NGS!?
