Salon passes can be bought with SG (the premium currency you get through gameplay, as opposed to AC, the premium currency you can only buy with money), acquired through login bonuses, and Classic handed out a ton of them to Mission Pass subscribers, so unless you're constantly revising your character daily you shouldn't be breaking the bank on it

Also every character that moves from PSO2 to NGS will get a chance to redo character creation for free.

is this an expansion or just straight up a new game, but they're rolling stuff over for the sake of player retention?

You can never lose slots, just maybe gently caress up and have one of them temporarily empty. Wow, I might actually affix my gear this time instead of just buying the best one I can get off the shop.

Ciaphas posted:well color me surprised, that seems... generous by modern standards It's good, but what I really want is free access to stuff like material storage and player shops, which are things I feel like other F2P MMOs have been giving away for at least a decade. Or at least the Cryptic MMOs do that I think, all of which are dramatically worse games than PSO2 in almost every other way.

I said come in! posted:And then we have to wait around 6 months for a level cap increase to 35? That is very weird. You've been spoiled being blasted through 8 years of JP content condensed down to one year of updates. Expect this game to follow a much much slower update schedule. At least you can always swap back to PSO2 base real easy to kill time.

There is a preload. You download it from the normal PSO2 launcher you already have installed. It's supposed to release sometime tomorrow, the 8th. They already released the preload for the Japanese version, and some people have already patched and launched the game client (but of course they can't play until the servers come back online). Here's the NGS ship selection menu, complete with all the ships being labeled "In maintenance" in dark grey:

I have a cast in PSO2 that I’ll be bringing to NGS but want to change the colours of, is that covered by the free first time character adjustment or not since colour passes are technically for clothes?

grieving for Gandalf posted:is this an expansion or just straight up a new game, but they're rolling stuff over for the sake of player retention? I guess it's more of a reboot, since it uses it's own class levels and our gear from it has their stats and such altered while in NGS. PSO2-Classic is accessible from any Ryuker-device (fast travel point) technically I think the idea was that they were planning on updating PSO2 for 10 years initially, but at some point they noticed there were things they wanted to do that they simply couldn't while they still had to support the PlayStation Vita, then when they went shopping for cloud servers to move the PSO2 servers onto, Phil Spencer caught wind of it and personally went to Sega of Japan to make a deal for the PSO2 Global server in the process. NGS appears to be pscrew pushing all of those ideas they had backlogged at once, and instead of re-balancing the whole game to compensate for these sweeping quality of life enhancements, they just swept it all under the rug. Then around new years, the little end-of-the-year message from PSCrew mentioned that the interest with the global server here inspired them to extend their "10-year plan", though in my opinion, NGS kinda both let them move on from PSO2 early while still being able to claim this is still PSO2, which honestly, it kinda really is still just PSO2 but with a different map type. I feel like the way they have the accounts set up, they could have done a whole new separate game and kept still kept all of the account data and bank data, but ultimately it's kinda hard to say what exactly the decision process here was, what with all of the corporations involved

I started playing PSO2 when it came out and it was fun but there was too much going on / too much to understand / that feeling of playing an MMO that's been out forever. So I'm intrigued by the fresh start element of this. I'm trying to remember. If I want the opportunity to play on both my PC and Xbox, but I start on PC, I need to download it from the Windows store right?

Eh I guess I'll check this out, I spent like $2000 on gacha on the US side when PSO2NA came out, time for more ill-advised monetary decisions i guess.

I honestly can't think of a reason to use Tweaker anymore unless you're playing on JP. It is a bad program and should be taken out back and shot and Aida should not be allowed to use Visual Studio ever again.

Something funky is going on with Tweaker, I've let Aida know. It's a fine program, this is just a massively new thing so it's understandable that there's some teething trouble.

The only feature it seems to actually have for the NA version of the game is the ability to install just one copy of the game but fool it into thinking you're launching from any of the 4 stores so you can collect the 1-time exclusive weapon camos or whatever from each one.

brand new to this: is the steam client supposed to be able to log in right now and see those servers down for maintenance? it just throws an "update needed" error at me and then closes, but i don't know if that's because the servers are still down or something
