What fun it was having to run around town looking to get close enough to block a bot spammer.

It was a game within a game.

They hid in some clever places and that was, funnily enough, more engaging than most of the NGS content so far

it's just uh..not particularly easy to add someone to it unless they are nearby

The other day it didn't even function for me. I reported a meseta bot and added them to my blocklist and yet I kept seeing the bot messages. I zoned fully out and back in just in case that had to happen and still I saw the screaming. I went to add them to my blocklist again and PSO2 helpfully informed me that the person was already on my blocklist. Meanwhile, the spam never stopped.

What is it with the Ryuker device that makes it so that people don't show up in your nearby characters list unless you're right next to them? All of the bots I find are clipped halfway into the one in Central City.

Thankfully the blocking works properly for me.

The current revival scratch items are not tweaked at all, except that the items are tradeable in NGS instead of in PSO2.
Although apparently a few of the emotes are ones that were in jp PSO2 but never available in na PSO2 before.

Yeah, no-one should actually do the revival scratches because the odds of getting what you want are so low, but it’s great that they’ve been added because you can just let other people play the gacha for you and pick up what you want from the player shop for a few hundred thousand meseta when it used to cost tens/hundreds of millions in PSO2.

It's time vs money ... unless you want something that only exists in the beauty scratches like Enamel Tights, in which case the only way you're getting them is real money.

There are two dozen new-to-global emotes in the scratch. Though what sucks is several are locked behind pulling a shitload of times; 85 pulls is a hundred and fifty loving us dollars.

Though at least as a consequence lots of emotes are cheap as hell on the shop.

May change up the hair/hat/mask, but I think this is my look for a bit. The headphone acc from the renewal scratch is a nice generic tech bit for greebling. Here I'm using it as a bit of leg armor to match the bits that come on the shoulders. I also picked up the Wand Pose since I gotta rep for Techer.

People keep posting that stupid weapon pre-combining graph at me whenever I mention grinding weapons. I'm buying cattleya swords for 1k and feeding them directly to the cattleya sword I'm using which gets me:
900 exp for 1k purchase and 4k grinding fee, 0.18 exp/meseta
it takes 35000 exp to max out a 4-star, so I need 39 cattleya swords for fodder
total cost is 195000

I haven’t seen that graph, but I definitely had to sit down and work out the math myself when people were telling me to sit around combining stuff instead of putting them into the base unit directly.

At the time the trade off turned out to be saving grinders if it did it directly or meseta if I combined stuff first, but since prices for everything bottomed out at 1k it stopped making sense to combine them first.

Pre-combining was only ever worth it with Silver Primm swords, nothing else. I remember working out the math for that on release week.
Now that you can buy 4* weapons for 1k that is a better option though, if you can buy ones with the same-type bonus for 1k (are resurgir that low yet?).

Like many folks, I have more than once character, and I've only now started to move them over to NG.

Everything seems peachy thus far, save for one of them having their skin color totally distorted into a bright orange hue. An easy enough fix, I suppose, and I've been hoarding my salon and color cards or years, so no worries there. But after a while of playing around a bit with the character I was checking out some stuff in the market and looked in the Preview Window. I noticed that within that window, their skin and several accessories are stark white. Which, is odd, but not a big deal, and I just chalk it up to another visual bug of the game.

But it makes me wonder how much of my character is showing correctly. As in, are people seeing what I'm seeing in game, or what I'm seeing in that preview window.

The preview window specifically has a bunch of color-related bugs.
For example, accessories all show up as the default color, and makeup like the lip gloss that syncs with your outfit colors only shows as some default grey.

Good to know. Again, not terribly concerned about it, as I figured it par for the course by now.

But it did make me go "huh" for a minute there.

Also, I want to see a fix to the Multi Weapon Camo not showing bug already.

Units are a bit of a different beast since we don't have the luxury of unit drops with esperio on them.

Weapons you shouldn't have any shortage of silver swords laying around by the time you can afford one with a decent fixa on it.

It'll cost nearly 1.5m meseta to get the 3 type2 parts on the player market! :confuoot:

Apparently all the market prices for everything are way lower in the Japanese servers. I don't know how much of that is due to the balance of f2ps vs whales and how much is due to NA having more hat baron flippers and "investors" who buy stuff just to sell it later.

You can't resell a lot of things once they've been bought off the player shop on NGS, but you can easily make an alt account and go grab all the red boxes with money in them and then buy an item off your mains shop funneling the money over. That's apparently the easy money scam people are playing. Will Sega ever actually do anything about it? With how much care the global servers have been getting in general probably not. :shrug:

they'd have to do something like just, replace all the N-meseta boxes with either more SG or extra units. at least, I don't think there's anything you can do with sg that can mess with the economy like all that corn can

It's really strange that "farm a bunch of meseta with the 1-time bonuses on alts then transfer it all to your main by selling 1-star swords for 1mil on the player shop" isn't against TOS or bannable at all, since it is in similar games.

Is there a way to get Dread enemies to respawn? The daily task for defeating a seasonal Dread enemy always takes me forever to do because when I go to where they spawn they aren’t there (presumably because someone else already killed it), and even if I keep changing rooms/blocks it takes ages before I find one with an enemy.

They're on a timer, and they won't spawn if nobody is currently in the area. So switching to other empty blocks to try and find one isn't going to work. Your best bet is to either go to a block where the area is populated, do your other daily tasks in one area and then look for a dread enemy when you're done.
