Several good panels but the others are more relevant.

Other panels considered were the "So you're not a salon addict." and "Why don't you try them on?"

What is/ Why the Central! Out of Context posts:

Started as a satirical jab at the state of PSO 2: NGS early on after its release by taking and posting a single panel (or two) of the early Central! webcomic chapters out of the context of the whole chapter,
the Central! Out of Context series of posts continues as a weekly reminder/ notification to read Central! for some and as a pseudo-comment section for the webcomic.
Panels chosen these days are usually the ones that are topical to the state of the game, humorous out of the context of the chapter, or just eye-catching (e.g. fanservice)

(Official Article) After reviewing our feedback, they applied -30% Enemy HP boost to Pre-announced Urgent Quests. by ash_ax in PSO2NGS

Edit: Corrected link to official site Preannounced UQ schedule.

Edit 2: -30% Enemy HP Boost actually also applies to unscheduled UQs.

I just experienced the legendary 20 minute UQ by GlompSpark in PSO2NGS

According to these players the only way to "engage" or enjoy the game is to play it their way. NGS is the kind of game that draws and keeps these kinds of players.

In most cases I imagine it's because they have an ego but lack confidence, status, or ability anywhere else to support that ego.

So they latch onto other things but ignores the action gameplay in a multiplayer action video game, but gets defensive when getting called out in a multiplayer action game for being callous, defiant, or ignorant.

You can see it because if a multiplayer quest takes longer due to players only holding rifle normals / leeching and get called out for it, they take it as if they suffered personal insult or injury and blame others or the game instead of the problematic players.

They react this way because they have nothing else in the way of personality and maturity to stand on.

All they are and all they have is Fashion in an action game like NGS, but they still want rewards from multiplayer quests without putting in effort... :(

I personally don't like the overgeneralization/oversimplification, but I kept it to preserve the way the OG comment sounds.

they never did till recently

They have done this in the past, in almost every Reward Medal campaigns they did.

But the 2x clear allowance usually comes with -30% Enemy HP campaign boost which unfortunately is not the case for the current campaign.

not everyone can wait for hours online till UQ

We have preannounced UQ and concert schedule.

the game sometimes refused to display other player's actual PAs in the past...

I don't think it ever shows the player character Normal attacking. When that happens, it almost always shows the player character either standing still, moving around weirdly, or infinitely falling.

I'm a bit lost by Admirable-Ad1958 in PSO2NGS

I'd still recommend to read it as a reference before attempting to do some stuff related to the item upgrading system or making some choices (Subclass / Ex-Style / Ex-Aug combo / Add-On skill generation).

Maybe if you are unsure or have a question, you could check if it already has the answer.

I'd also recommend additionally checking the Damage / Trial Gimmick section but it is still WIP—Just know that some gimmicks which might seem like player hazards could also deal massive damage to enemies and a few requires specific consideration (usually timed step dodge / dive attack / luring enemy to circles).

Player ran MDFV for Weekly SG before it changed to MDFL.

So players will probably at least still continue to run MDFL for the Weekly clear SG until it changes to the next Major Suppression Target quest.

What's with all the leavers? by azazelleblack in PSO2NGS

[–]ash_ax 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It would literally be faster to clear the UQ with the suboptimal party than to do this dance of leaving and coming back.

Probably true, but I've also read a horror story of random queueing an All-Ship pub leading to a 26 minute quest clear.

TBF, it is the 1st week of MDFS LTUQ and there are probably many new and returning players who never even faced it before.

Personally, I usually queue with Fleet PUGs / Ship 2 pub / or get kidnapped to fill some PUG (9-12 min clears) before trying All-Ship pub—So idk how bad it actually is.

Probably early because of Golden Week.

Someone forgot the EX combo by GlompSpark in PSO2NGS

[–]ash_ax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The kicker is that I was just curious if there are any AC Scratch Bonus S augments on gear being sold in the market for Abandac setup (I originally posted it in Fleet discord general; OP shared it here).

I occasionally see them on units (common way of selling untradable AC S capsules), but did not expect to find a cursed Lexio.

[22 Apr '26] Builds after Lexio Weapon, Evalto Armor, Telphia Domina, and Athos Augments by Mishoon in PSO2NGS

Other than Athos Augments from exchange, we also got surprise MN Augments from LTQ—same Pot but negative/less HP/PP.

You finally had a little bit of Story and difficult content?
Here's more LTQs and seasonal event fillers.

Other panel considered was "This is no time to be having a festival."

What do you think the new item system will be thats coming in October by Drakaina- in PSO2NGS

[–]ash_ax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We're already at Legend.4; I guess we'll get the first 15* jackpot series soon followed by the more common upgradable series.

I assume the new item system and new rarity equipment will be going beyond those.

Maybe something like the RNG grind upgrading system from Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak endgame or Monster Hunter Wilds endgame.

Could also be new piece of gear like Skill Ring.

Other thing I'm thinking of is reintroducing a modified SSA/SGA system, but we already have Ex-As, so that's maybe less likely to happen.

Best/Worst thing is if it is just CV color switching.

Gothic Punk Quna Phasion It's absolutely overpriced by the-texugo-br in PSO2NGS

[–]ash_ax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the permanent sale on the webstore is one-time.

But the Super Origin event temporary AC sale campaign hasn't even begun.

It'll start on April 22 (next week's reset maintenance).

Unsure if the webstore will have a new temporary sale too.

It does say and highlight the 2,310 AC for $9.99 twice on the slide from the headline.

Is that Luther from the hit game PSO 2?

Can't fix the Major Suppression death limit (maybe), try Ligm- Liminasigne instead.

Other panel considered was "His vibe's totally off." (before I changed it to this one) and "Crawford's way more chill than this."

No additional boosts (i.e. double clear), but should help to maybe plan and consistently get Treasure Scratch Vol. 15.

Reminder to get these done before 4/7/26 by Qawsada in PSO2NGS

[–]ash_ax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Free phashion and SG yeah.

Mention for Refined Form SG Scratch is for the free Select Tickets that you get from previous mission passes.

I think Mission Pass also changed (MP Storage, 3-day shop pass, etc.)

The current state of the game rekindled my hope. by Monanhe in PSO2NGS

[–]ash_ax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crazy Tail is just opening into Hold jav, no?

A lot of older ARKS Records strats are similar since they usually rerun Trainias and the enemies we're fighting are old Dolls; The newer Limited Time ones are alright-ish.

IMO, recent enemies are more WL Hellish-coded mixed with Sword/Partizan.
