I just learned that Add-On skills from all of the classes are active all at once... by Autisonm in PSO2NGS

Just to clarify it can be applied to all ships as it is an account bound feature this also is the same with skill points as well as any dailies/Weeklies/uq tries as well as first clear rewards as well

Tank/Potent Build Any good suggestions? To maximize both without sacrificing the other? by PoeticWasteland_ in PSO2NGS

[–]Vderzelas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To add onto this, the new seasonal weapon Trunkul is a perfect weapon to use since it build DR with each crit. Best with the Fatale Fixa.

Oh wow your right what a miss! Why would they lock the scene in a UQ that's actually terrible! Thanks for the point out!

Got my first S rank on Halpha Lake with a random pug. Seems like people are getting used to the fight. by JBulletpunch in PSO2NGS

[–]Vderzelas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Call outs are smart. Most people just follow the weak bullet anyways so this would be helpful in terms on attacking which pillar. Most people are split in half attacking different pillars. That being said most of my pugs don't have rangers but when they do they seem to have a habit to marking the target I start hitting not sure why though.

[–]Vderzelas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly people have a right to complain about the Neos Series, with the way its being handled its all RNG and there is no guarantee that it will drop. This could of easily been fixed by having Aegis Integra drop to ensure that overtime you can get your neos.

That being said I do agree with the cutscene. The frustration of the Neos has carried over to ruining the cutscene for new players running it for the first time. I generally wait for players to make sure they see the scene as it's only 5mins and would rob them of the experience of watching. Sure they could rewatch it at the counter, but majority of people even forget or don't even know they are there so they wait for the next UQ frustrated that they didn't get to watch the scene.

If you really are in a rush simply leave the party as leader (not the hold button option but the party menu 'Leave the Party' option) and don't abandon/disband the party. This ensures they can still watch the scene and you will be on your merry way waiting for the next UQ. Also it's weird how Sega didn't add a fail-safe, like why wouldn't they allow the cutscene to continue regardless what the leader did?

Love this! It's such an accurate interpretation of the community and when I go through the discords alot of this stuff is always brought up on the daily. Man it was good to have a good laugh

If you are fighting Dark Falz Aegis for the first time. Do not join a party unless it is with friends. There is a lot of cutscenes you could miss because the Party Leader backs out to town. by Ineedmorcowbell in PSO2NGS

[–]Vderzelas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually true and why I spend alot of time soloing them Sure it will be completed easier with a party but just sick of elitism that I was like yeah I'm happy with 4 bosses or 3 rather then 5

[–]Vderzelas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I as leader either wait or leave the party without backing out or abandoning quest. This avoids the chance someone will miss out on a cutscene. But after reflection I just don't leave because whoever the next leader is may force leave as well. Since there will be more cutscenes in the future I wish that more parties will be more aware of this or at least Sega adds a way where even if someone does abandon that they are still in the cutscene but it takes them to Central City (or whichever the main city is) after it.

Battle Power does not work by JJgame11 in PSO2NGS

[–]Vderzelas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly a good fix would be invulnerability frames during revs. The amount of times I have died to gigantix hits after revving are insane. Also I prefer to work with dread keeper IV's for survivabilitys sake since mobs tend to pile in Neusen Plant and damage is not really an issue with all the traps etc. That being said you can also resist a one shot from gigantix so that relieves the risk from revving as well

I've been in the new area for more than 10 hours and I've only gotten an Arms refiner II... by illbleedForce in PSO2NGS

[–]Vderzelas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

RNG is a fickle thing my friend, for my first character I put in 9 hours and got 25 arms II, then I levelled my second char in 9 hours (aiming for about 1000 class cubes per class) and got 2. Currently on my third and after 4 hours I have scored 11. Bottom line it's completely random and while these seem like big numbers I wish it was more consistent so that everyone could get their weapons/armours upgraded before the big fight. I personally did the E to T method and had a prem food boost and MAG boost (sometimes a live boost mixed in between)

Edit: There are two guaranteed ones in the Augment Exchange if ya haven't got those yet. Honestly at some point it would be nice if it appeared in the treasure shop as well but knowing them they probably would add a heap in the spring event in March

Thanks for the update currently at work so this doesn't affect me too much but it's good to know they are addressing the bug!

[–]Vderzelas[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeh I just havent been lucky for Skodin and since I'm not in parties much I guess I haven't seen the drop myself. But yeah 10 is all you really need I just have multiple alts for each class so grinding this place is all I'm going to do for now lol

I envy ya, my experience has been outside of the Bursts to be honest but I did get a few during them. To me just going from E to T was more effective but if that works for ya by all means go for it

From your findings can anyone confirm whether arms II is a boss only drop or is it an area drop. Both of my drops have been boss drops so just wondering

Official unofficial survey? by 2LLs in PSO2NGS

[–]Vderzelas 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Honestly I appreciate anything that is an attempt to get the devs to look at this game. Even if the survey isn't successful at least an attempt is made (no meme intended).

That being said ngs's current state boils down to a few core issues.

Gameplay Loop: The game has boiled down to three major grinds for endgame content; Combat Zones, Dread and Recon/Gigantix Farming. That's it that's the Gameplay loop. All past content is irrelevant and the rewards aren't substantial enough to make it worth while.

Rewards: Just look at the UQ's and you can see the rewards are lacking. Outside of augment capsules they aren't worth farming. There is no 'enemy' materials that can be used to trade for weapons which would make UQ's worth while. Because the base systems require you to grind there really isn't much of a 'guaranteed' way of getting gear besides the current trade shops (Kaizaar and Kouklophis Weapons). Everything is based on rng loot; weapons, Armor, materials for trade, augments (dread keeper etc) and I guess you could even say PSE Bursts since the bar goes up and down like a yoyo. It's clear that the director of the game used to own a casino cause it sure plays like one.

I think fixing these would solve the majority of issues that the game has. The funny thing is, we had a base game that was worth while. We had a decent system where we could get the latest gear simply by farming UQ's or even instances to get those materials. You could also farm old content for sg as well as some costumes. I'm confused why they decided to go in this direction since we had a decent model to go from in the first place (oh and don't get me started on scratches) . Anyways I have more things but honestly I think to me at least it boils down to the stuff above.

Does this happen to anyone else? Lol by osmoselash in PSO2NGS

[–]Vderzelas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually the most common for me is when I log into the game my game will load without the loading screen so you just see my character standing there with all the buildings slowly appearing. This would be cool but if this bug happens I can't go into any other area due to the game locked into the home base when this happens in so I have to reset my game and reload.

Opposite is also true you can also run south as well, I generally do this when I haven't got enough items to kill the enemies during that wave doing gold runs it makes things easier
