RPATDO_LAMD posted:4 stars are definitely marketable, but the shop is bugged in really dumb and lovely way: if you partially type an item's name and hit search, items you've never seen before won't show up in the list of autocomplete options. The text search only shows exact text matches, so to look up an item you either need to use the autocomplete or to get its exact name from out of game . oh yeah that would be what caused that incorrect assumption. at least now I know I won't necessarily have to grind out to gear up alt classes.

I beat the story mission with the dragon, got myself to 1184 power level, and I'm looking at a great empty vista of lacking content. Game's been pretty fun these last couple weeks but there's poo poo all to do. Can't really even spend much time theory crafting and build tinkering like I could in Diablo. Thanks to everyone who answered burning questions but it looks like there was only a little bit to burn so I'll see you all when a content patch drops.

Yeah, I'm only logging a few minutes a day to do dailies. And only enough days to achieve the weekly rewards for Meseta -- because I see no conceivable way of really making any money otherwise. Without being bored out of my mind I mean.

I still like it, don't get me wrong, but it's not feeling like the relaxed Diablo-style "monster basher with friends when they happen to log on" thing I wanted. Solo sucks because any rewarding enemies take too long to kill. "Rewarding" is incidentally a bit euphemistic because there's no affix system or anything so it usually feels like all drops are merely a form of crafting mat and XP for leveling is a drip feed, and I'm still four levels from my first capped class. Build options are few and low impact so I don't feel like I'm developing a concept or that the concept is tailored compared to every other member of class X. And there's the well-trod lack of instanced dungeons or quests.

That is, unfortunately, the true PSO2 experience. Your normal grinding session is running around for PSE bursts, both for augment fodder (there is an augment system, it's just way better than it used to be) grind fodder, XP, and money. The only real 'crafting materials' are food and minerals, food for obvious uses (stat buffs and region mag feeding) and minerals for unlocking weapon potentials. It's easy to lose sight of all the stuff passively flowing into your inventory, but if you never look, you'll never understand why you're grinding.

The only thing to note is that if you're after augments, being in an area with PSE bursts isn't going to get you much. Stat 3 augment capsules can only drop in exploration zones. And the big money stuff like dread keeper 2 only drops from enemies that also exclusively spawn in exploration zones.

I did not know that. What I mean by feeling like it's all crafting mats, though, is that without affixes providing variable gear traits like good old "Pyromancer's Ring of the Bear" kind of poo poo all the weaponry flowing into my inventory just reads like fodder for the weapon +40 grind. Nothing to prompt an "oooo" like a mid to high level rune or set item in Diablo, nothing that will ever make me think "oh sweet I gotta try playing some new build because this toy I just found would make it sing."

it was definitely funny assuming that i couldnt buy four star weapons because of the search field bug and then finding them for sale for 1k once i put the full name in. you can just buy the best currently existing level of weapons for nothing right now (I think the gigantix gear has better offensive potential in general but that's the endgame you're gearing for in the first place). in a way it's really nice that I don't feel trapped in an endless upgrade cycle but it also means there's not a lot to do to progress but camp for rare spawns like in a 2000 mmo

I can't level further in PSO2 because I have a MEL mag and now my braver doesn't have enough DEX to upgrade to a good katana. (Even though I have a bunch of rising weapon badges from some event or other to get a free 15* poverty weapon.) And I can't go back to playing PSO2 Hunter and waddling slowly around levels without NGS photon dash or Braver asagiri spam. Apparently I will have enough dex to wield it if I do level Braver enough for the natural dex gains (and get Bouncer to 75 too), but I'd have to do all of that without a weapon? I guess it's a lot easier if you can level it as a subclass after you've already gotten to endgame as something else. CYBEReris posted:it was definitely funny assuming that i couldnt buy four star weapons because of the search field bug and then finding them for sale for 1k once i put the full name in. you can just buy the best currently existing level of weapons for nothing right now (I think the gigantix gear has better offensive potential in general but that's the endgame you're gearing for in the first place). The extra funny thing is that 4-star weapons aren't even good as enhancement fodder -- they're less meseta-efficient than using Silver Primm Swords despite being significantly rarer. So all the players who already got their one 4* weapon and spend all day grinding PSEs just get dozens and dozens of 4* items that (if they're upgrading efficiently) they can't even use except by selling on the player shop (if they have a shop pass). If you don't pay realmoney for shop access, your options are basically to save them in case you want to try a new class some day or trash them for pennies. So naturally they pretty much instantly cratered in price. I think there were 1k 3-star weapons on the shop console within 2-3 days of launch and 1k 4-stars on the marketboard 1-2 days after that.

The real poo poo is when you realize that actually those fixa augments are really powerful, and get set up with those. That's real expensive if you're trying to use a 4* weapon at the same time.

Yeah, this is like PSO1 in a way, where your goal should be to find a 4 star you want, and then try to farm or trade for one with good numbers attached to it. Any given 4 star might be 1k, but one with Fixa Attack 5 might be millions. Or spend all your meseta on phasion.

I'm reasonably sure you could make money selling augment capsules to lazy players. Re: fixas, this is only A Thing right now because our best gear is still relatively common and we've hit the soft gear cap really easily. When poo poo actually starts becoming rare is when outside of an astronomical lucky drop, nobody will really think that much about them. At least unless they give us a way to edit or create fixas. After all its nowhere near as important as hit% was in PSO1. MR. J fucked around with this message at 04:33 on Jun 30, 2021 |

I mean if you're pretty much done spending minerals on your gear i would assume you could profit with taking low level capsules and trading them in for higher ones and reselling those, depending on how the market is that day.

I really like NGS but the lack of content is terrible. The event is better than nothing, but only a little. I can kind of understand where they’re coming from with the enemies... In PSO2 vanilla you’d get event quests and they generally wouldn’t have any kind of new enemies, but at least they were unique enough. You can’t really do the same thing with NGS’s open(ish) world though. I think event cocoons or instanced emergency quests would be a good solution. I’m sure COVID has been hard on the devs, and I who knows how different making new content for NGS is than the original PSO2, so I can kinda understand the content drip... but I don’t like it.

Does Multi-Weapon allow you to use Class Skills pertaining to that weapon as well? Specifically, I was wondering if fusing a Rifle to another weapon would allow me to use Blight Rounds.

Sherry Bahm posted:Does Multi-Weapon allow you to use Class Skills pertaining to that weapon as well? Specifically, I was wondering if fusing a Rifle to another weapon would allow me to use Blight Rounds. Yes. The way multiweapon works is that it just switches automatically to whichever of the 2 weapon forms is needed when you use a weapon-specific skill or PA. I have a multiweapon rifle/launcher, so if I press my blight bullet hotkey it instantly becomes a rifle and fires the bullet rounds, and if I use multi-launch it shapeshifts back to a launcher and uses that PA, etc. It is shapeshifting though, it never counts as both weapon types at once. So for example, Fighter's Overload skill only gives a damage bonus to Fighter weapons. If you used a multi twin-dagger/sword as Fighter, using any sword stuff would shapechange the weapon into a sword, making it no longer a Fighter weapon and no longer getting the damage bonus from Overload, until the next time you use a twin dagger PA.

Awesome. I thought as much, but figured I'd best ask before I blew a cool 100k~ Meseta and a bunch of mats on it. Love my Launcher, but the usefulness of Blight Rounds is too hard to ignore, and I'd like to be able to slap that on there.
