The players are losing interest! Quick! Show off more things to look foward to maybe!

This newest episode is not doing it for me. They need to go back to the scifi in space. Also make every mag be like a summoner pet just maybe not so strong.

[Manta Oyamada]

update

[Altiea]

As a Final Fantasy fan, I'm looking forward to this one. Hopefully I can stay awake long enough to catch it.

[ArcaneTechs]

Informations about July updates.
Probably a collab we didn't want, possibly them adding the current fields that dont have SHAQ's to the list with new CS's. New CM maybe finally (UQ show off chance kinda low still)

Details about the Final Fantasy XIV collaboration!
It'll be lackluster, it's just Gal Gryphon scenario from last year in collab form (fyi I like FF14 too) with it's own LQ and themed drops

More details about the PSO2es 1.5m Downloads Celebration
It's es, more stuff to do on the way to work/school

Details about the PSO2 the Animation Blu-ray&DVD Vol. 6
Watch it be a Lilipa pet time locked behind buying this DVD

Announcement of a new Live Event for Summer
More boost week! BW4 with more Gryphon! New swimsuits! (unless they meant Concert wise)

Live Gameplay on Next Limited Quest: Battle Against Odin
Time to watch everyone pretend it's hard again with 3* NT's!

New Challenge for Ichitaro.
Nothing's challenging for this guy

More free stuff!

[/LIST]
Probably be lots of useless questions asked/Sega point and picking the ones they want thus more frustration for the player base (Example: Level cap when? New Weapon types for all classes when?)

It's best just to skip the stream and read up the next day at this point right? I mean Beasts, Shotguns, Axes, The Ranged/Tech Class we didn't get are abyssmal until 2017 maybic

[Keilyn]

I feel I can write a much better story, but if I did... I would start from Episode 1 and do a complete alternate universe... I like the visuals to Episode IV and I know things are different...but why couldn't SEGA follow their tradition that Episode I and II and linked together, Episode III is the super weird, strange, experimental story, and Episode IV takes on elements from the other three to actually be a good closer? :(

[lostinseganet]

Dark Falz just needs to win/ almost win and kill everyone for a series reboot. Time for pso3..in VR ohhhh yes

[TaigaUC]

I'm sick of all these limited/scheduled quests.
Everyone saw this week's EQ schedule, right? It's like 99% Yamato. I even had JP people complaining about it to me.

When they add more EQs and shit, the old ones will just disappear entirely.
There are already a bunch of EQs we only see maybe once a month or two, if we're lucky.

The fact that they have so many schedule-only stuff means they are always herding all of us to do the same one thing.
Their approach severely limits the amount of stuff we can do. It's super boring.

Instead of adding more stuff we can do whenever we want, they are making us pay real money for Star Gems to exchange for one chance at an EQ.
That's essentially paying to play a game mode once.
What the hell. I dunno about everyone else, but I have zero interest in accommodating that kind of bullshit.

And if it works like how the game works now, if you get disconnected from a paid EQ, you lose what you paid for.
Knowing SEGA, I doubt they've even considered this. They probably don't even have the capability to recode the system to allow people to rejoin EQs.

Oh, but you can earn Star Gems without paying real money.
But it's still earning to play an EQ once. That's vastly different from being able to play them whenever you want.
On top of that, it sounds like they might limit and rotate which EQ Triggers are available at any time? Like the Boss Triggers?

[Shadowth117]

Think they'll talk about this at all?

http://www.pso2-uploader.info/uploda/src/up190203.png

[Kintama]

What is this and where did you pick this from? :x It does look like an UQ version of V. Caves which i know isn't happening anytime soon because of sega catering to new players, so please, gently with my feels :-(

[Cyber Meteor]

Could be the "surprise trailer" but i doubt it since they have yet to talk about that new free field which is supposed to be released end of Summer/early Fall, before that UQ, so maybe next Broadcast

[Poyonche]

I hope this is Ult Amduscia. :(
It could be it tho, as it looks like the total opposite of the normal V.Caves.

[Xaelouse]

I wouldn't expect them to show anything about UQ until at least August or when they finally reveal the rest of the roadmap for the year, any surprise now would be for the new Earth area

[yoshiblue]

Caves 3 is (almost) back, baby. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8122/8609317412_a4d3099956_o.jpgMaybe.

[TaigaUC]

Yeah, I'd like to hear about that big black box.
At this point, I'd probably prefer to play Caves 3 than whatever else.

[Z-0]

Big Black Box is just a player in the 711 White Person outfit with Austere Rod.

That would be hilarious and painful.

[Zyrusticae]

BF1 would be the most weird and pointless collab.

Would basically just be real-world outfits and weapons, which they can do without any collab.

[TaigaUC]

Should have worn an Evildoer Tights.
WTF at the Battlefield 1 thing. So random.
Or maybe they are going to announce an official Western release at E3, alongside Battlefield 1 collab.
Can you imagine all the awesome collabs the Western version would get?
Battlefield 1, Call of Duty, Medal of Honor, Rainbow Six, Halo. Stuff like that.

I was thinking it'd be nice if we got some layerwear swimwear. Probably good for mix and matching.
But SEGA would probably do something terrible like making them Star Gem lottery only.

[sparab]

I am looking forward for some real world range weapon camo. Can't have enough for TMG, right?

Sega could have throw smart inner to a SG scratch or package code as well.

Still waiting for the secret smart base.

Bru, isn't the one on your picture Caves 2 ?

[Zorak000]

could be an intern who hit the wrong button from the wrong computer, and nobody has noticed since that's not what they would be logging into youtube from that account to do

As the one who took the screenshot, I can tell you that the area uses volcanic caves as a base. I basically took the files from the new area and used them to fill in as much as I could of Ult Amd in the caves map. Like Ult Nab to Forest, it's not the entire area which is why below there's a bunch of parts that don't look right. Many things don't load up great with it either since parts of the area don't exist yet (tier 6 textures, etc.), but it definitely exists.

http://i.imgur.com/sd7iF2E.jpg

But I thought I'd share it at least. I won't release it though mainly because there's parts where you can fall through the world currently, it replaces the lava with water, and a certain emergency code actually crashed the game. As for my wagering it to be Ultimate Amduscia myself, Ult Nab is referred to as sn_2200 in the files, Ult Lilippa sn_2210, Ult Ruins sn_2220, and this is sn_2230 while using Caves as a basis. It could be something else, but they very deliberately labeled it in the Ultimate area range whereas something like Earth/Tokyo is in the 0800s range.

[Poyonche]

Are those texture files recent ? Or are they old ?

Do you have any idea about the E-Code that crashed the game ? Might be in the files.

tldr:[SPOILER-BOX]It exists![/SPOILER-BOX]

[Skyly]

Any thoughts on mob weakness?

[Poyonche]

As it appears to be an area with water, I apply SEGA's logic which says that enemies will be weak to Dark. :wacko:

On a more serious note I think it would be lightning, idk if I can see that in the enemies files, I'll give a look.

I assume Ult Amdu would drop with the introduction of 14* drops.

[Shadowth117]

Do you have any idea about the E-Code that crashed the game ? Might be in the files.

They're as new as last patch. Area models as well as you saw. The skybox is in, but it's a bit boring, frankly.

As for the code, I killed a kartagot from a darker killing code. Dunno why it would happen.

Also, as far as enemies go, most of their stuff doesn't seem to be here yet. PD's files were updated last patch (I'm sure who's been paying attention knows why), some of the phantom enemies' files were, and a few other random pre-existing enemies were updated too.

Overall, it was a very bare bones implementation meant to be updated later. The fact that there's not setting 6 files for the area and that certain objects like plants which are alluded to that don't exist pretty much proves this.

[Zorak000]

I mean we have been finding entries for Enemy files since February of 2015

I forget what it's internal name is but I know someone found a file for what we can assume to be a Dragonized Tranmizer at some point too
Oh right that was back when Maenara was posting individual threads here for every single thing they found, so those threads got buried and lost to time

[D-Inferno]

I suspect "Dragon Mizer" to be a Goran in a shape-shifting cube "machine" that behaves like all three of Tranzexia's forms.

[Zorak000]

oh yeah I forgot I came here to say this first

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5oseuk3miDY4gsFfEh4ueA

have you tried clicking on that channel? it seems busted.

Also I dont think that is the official channel for battlefield 1 anyway, since that can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/user/Battlefield
if it was for an official bf1 channel but not for English speaking territories then the channel subscription probably would not be in English either

Either way, something really stinks about this

[Meteor Weapon]

Wasn't that the same channel that uploaded the datamined day-tokyo bgm that wasn't even compiled correctly?

Would be pretty amusing if the Ultimate Goran turns out to be super buff instead of being really obese and has a more threatening voice.

And shoots lightning out of his ass.

[Hrith]

I feel I can write a much better story [...]To quote Dylan Moran:
'I'm not saying it's a bad [story], you know, or anything like that. All I'm saying is that if you get, I don't know, a broom, say, and dip it in some brake fluid, put the other end up my arse, stick me on a trampoline in a moving lift, and I would write a better [story] on the walls. That's all I'm saying.'

Would be great if the battle started off like this. (https://youtu.be/Y-Hv4GvvHkQ?t=48s)

[TaigaUC]

Wanted to say this somewhere but didn't want to start a new thread:

SEGA sure likes Elder this week! There's like 3-5 Elders every day, sometimes one after another.

[EvilMag]

I wonder if they're gonna talk about the web panel. They're not even close to the puyo goal and they only have a few days left. Maybe it'll be a sign for them that we hate gathering.

[TaigaUC]

Cuz everyone really wants a new puyo color when they know SEGA could just as easily allow us to change the color with the mag color change item.
I was thinking yesterday that SEGA sure likes to celebrate stuff that has essentially zero celebratory significance to players.

[sparab]

If sega makes a L-ring that prevents WB override from another player whose ring level is lower than yours, I am going to complete that gathering panel myself.

[Great Pan]

Where's my PVP mode? I wanna kill the other ARKS!

[loafhero]

Would be great if the battle started off like this. (https://youtu.be/Y-Hv4GvvHkQ?t=48s)

In fact, instead of the Zoran being completely left defenseless in an embarrassing state after having its cube-shield destroyed, the Ultimate version should go berserk and start attacking players up close and personal.

[SteveCZ]

And whoever tries to attack him during that time will die. DODGE TIME!

[Selphea]

Dragon Mizer sounds like Machine Turtle. Guranz is supposed to be based on Zesh but is practically nothing like it other than leg break mechanics and spinny attacks and bombardment spam.

Dragon Mizer might simply be a dragon with transformable wings to alternate between melee wing blades and ranged wing pewpew.

[Shinamori]

I wonder if it would be like Gol Dragon. Although, all it did was swap what it attacked you with.

[Zanverse]

inb4 DragonMizer battle is somewhat based on this (http://youtu.be/TdeDfqodBvY?t=22s)

[Cyber Meteor]

^ That video actually reminds me more of Codotta Idetta :-P

Basically, the love child of a Noire Draal and a Quartz Dragon.

[Shinamori]

Well, technically tommorrow. Depending on where you live. 7am for us EST people.

[Poyonche]

I'm ready to be disappointed ! :wacko:

[Altiea]

In just three hours, everyone who isn't me will start complaining and be sorely unimpressed by everything they witness in the following hours! Oh, the excitement!

Wow, you're earlier than them to do so, that's for sure. :rolleyes:

I'm the person who complains about people complaining, because I find that being upset at things is a huge waste of energy. What's your point?

[SteveCZ]

You said it yourself, lol. You complaint about other people who will complaining. You are one of them now even before the time.

But nevermind I guess my response is too hard to read, I didn't know you'd take it too seriously, sorry. :D

[Poyonche]

Steve, aren't you, somehow, complaining about persons who complain about people complaining ?

[SteveCZ]

Steve, aren't you, somehow, complaining about persons who complain about people complaining ?

Exactly. Now you are complaining about the person who complain a person who complain about people complaining.

Poyonche you get it, thanks. LOL :-P

[oratank]

nothing wrong about complaining about bad product but if you still use it after complained.that is absurd.

*insert overused Inception meme*

[TaigaUC]

Many of the conveniences we have around us today were created by people who were upset at something, and created a solution.
People who stay positive are usually content and happy with everything as it is, so they don't seek improvements.
So I personally don't believe that it's a "waste of energy" to point out negatives.

On the other hand, in the case of PSO2, complaining about stuff we can't change is pretty pointless.
But, at the same time, so is gushing praise.

My point is, we are just stating what we are thinking, positive or negative.
Just because an opinion is negative doesn't automatically mean it's a waste of energy.
Praising SEGA with positive opinions doesn't make any difference. It's still a waste of energy.
SEGA doesn't care either way. We're not even supposed to be playing.

If it's a matter of energy conservation, then we should just not talk about PSO2 on these forums.

No offense, but I think it's kind of pointless to complain about other people voicing honest opinions that you don't like or care for.
If it bothers you so much, just don't read them. That would save a lot of energy.
And yes, I need to take my own advice and not waste so much time writing long replies that won't make any difference.

To be honest, I think it's best to have a balance of positive and negative.
You shouldn't drag yourself down too much, but it's also not good to pretend everything's okay, when it's not.
It just sets you up for a bigger eventual fall that you probably won't be able to avoid.

Actually, it's literal. Being upset or frustrated makes me tired, so I try not to do it. I'd rather hear other peoples' opinions anyway; mine suck.

[SteveCZ]

Announcement:
"Hi guys! We'd like to announce that 14* weapons are now available!"

Typical PSO World responses:
"Seriously? of all this time? Should've done that sooner."
"What the hell? too soon SEGA. What are you thinking."
"Ah, I just got 13* weapons I want now they put 14*. SEGA pls."
"14*~ must be through collection files. I know enough where this is going to be."
"What? no 15* weapons? SEGA should really focus on providing real contents, it's been years now."
"Where are the 12* units!? All they put is just 14*s. Shows how half-hearted they are for the updates."

)b

Well, enough joke. Just wait until the broadcast is done and see how bad (or good, for the positive folks) it will be.

[Shinamori]

Odin appears in free fields as Fate code. :V

[TaigaUC]

Okay, well I don't mean to make people tired.
I dunno about opinions sucking. Anyone can sometimes make a really good point.

Arkuma Slot sounded crappy in name, but looks interesting. Kinda wanted more multiplayer games though.
Casino Coins can be exchanged for Star Gems.

Summer scratch outfit looks kinda nice. Finally some outfits to look forward to.
Dog on head. Must... have.

[kurokyosuke]

I don't FFXIV so I don't know what his attacks are called, but I think I heard that if Odin does that insta-kill attack and everyone dies, it's an auto quest fail?

[doomdragon83]

Arkuma Slot sounded crappy in name, but looks interesting.

Arkuma slots? I'm sure the odds of winning are close to the ground.

Halfdolls/(super unreliable)auto revive from mag

[TaigaUC]

Hmm. Not a fan of those weird rings on the calves of the hot pants :/
Dammit, SEGA.

Also kinda tired of how almost every outerwear looks like a very similar jacket.

[doomdragon83]

Very interested in those 2 male FFXIV outfits, look better than the female stuff imo.

[TaigaUC]

I kinda want the white mage outfit.

I really wish PSO2 would get all the PSO2es boss variations.
Would make PSO2 10x more fun.

[kurokyosuke]

Halfdolls/(super unreliable)auto revive from mag

From what I heard, it seems like you don't get that option. Everyone dies from that attack in particular, and it's quest fail. Ichitarou even asked something around the lines of, "Can someone just use a Moon or something?", and Kimura said, "Nope. It's completely quest over."

[TaigaUC]

Yeah, they said they have reproduced how the battle works in the original.

[doomdragon83]

So I'm guessing they are going to make it so that you can't I-frame through it either right?

That H44 weaponoid thingy looks like it was done by whoever does Etrian Odyssey art.

[TaigaUC]

I dunno, never played FF14. Just assume it'll be like the original, whatever that is.

So that was the Summer scratch... was expecting some new swimsuits.

[doomdragon83]

it's strange, throughout this stream, they are playing different music from the game, why can't it be like that for my room?

[TaigaUC]

You mean randomize music?

Well, they died to Odin. I can imagine that becoming a pain in PUG multis.

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

I'm not sure if they panicked, sucked, staged it, or don't even try. Just have to right click more. It's all I do, and I end up bringing 50% of random pug mpa's damage. -_-

[doomdragon83]

You mean randomize music?

Well, they died to Odin. I can imagine that becoming a pain in PUG multis.

Yeah, why not? With all of the music we have available in game, this should have been a thing from day 1.

Oh, their 4 person party died to a level 70 Odin. Probably done on purpose to show it off. Looks like no one bothered to mirage or combat escape or something.

[Saagonsa]

Oh, their 4 person party died to a level 70 Odin. Probably done on purpose to show it off. Looks like no one bothered to mirage or combat escape or something.

It seems to almost certainly work like Guar's instadeath where even if you have iframes during the attack you will still die.

[TaigaUC]

Yeah, I'd expect some kind of playlist feature. Didn't realize PSO2 still doesn't have one.

Z-0 was saying on Bumped that SEGA will prob forget to disable the instant death for free field, causing people on the other side of the map to die to nothing.
I totally want to see that.

[doomdragon83]

cool, I love unblockable, unavoidable instant killing attacks. would be better if every enemy had this and only used it. Seriously though, it would be better if they didn't rely on cheap crap like that.

New casino game seems like the place to be to lose your coins, bundles at a time.

Idk, this game kinda lacks punishing DPS checks. MPA wipes would be a good step in the right direction to add a "challenge" to the game.

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

cool, I love unblockable, unavoidable instant killing attacks. would be better if every enemy had this and only used it. Seriously though, it would be better if they didn't rely on cheap crap like that.

We have a psuedo dps check in TDs already. Some would call it a 'soft enrage'.

We actually do need more things in game to hold people accountable for their performance rather than riding on the coattails of people who know math, and how to right click.

[Dugs]

Wait, people are bitching about something ANOTHER ENTIRE COMPANY did to their own boss, WHICH HAS A LEGACY FOR INSTANT KILLING ATTACKS that Sega decided to keep?

REALLY?

Twas inevitable.

I'll probably do it when I can regardless of the shinies he drops, because I love having an excuse to say people are terrible at an easy game.

Also, quite sad I gotta wait a month for summer scratch. I'm interested in the phashion.

[TaigaUC]

I'm not complaining. I haven't tried it myself, so I don't know.
I'm just worried that I'll waste a ton of time clearing through the two boring trash mob maps just to die to Odin and get nothing. Because that's not fun.

The thing is, even if PSO2 has hard checks and people die, they will assume other people are being weak.
And even if they question their own strength, they don't really know how or where to improve. Or they can't afford to.

SEGA started posting "so easy that even a Rappy can do it!" video tutorial series on grinding, affixing, etc.
But they are on YouTube. Dunno if they are on NicoVideo.
How many casual/light/non-gamer players are going to look outside the game for basic tutorials that so many believe they don't even need?
Even some comments on the YouTube videos are people arguing about whether grinding/affixing is necessary or not.

I personally think they should have put those tutorial videos in the game itself to begin with, and made it compulsory to complete them once, at the start of the game.
But again, probably too late now. Too many new players who are probably level 75 already.

[Dugs]

FF14 isn't much better, you have people rejecting all advice by saying "I payed for this, I'll play how I want to." There's even less outside of combat mechanics to deal with, but you still have people who just use the equivalent of "doesn't use PAs."

Of course, this is on the English side, no idea about 14's Japanese side.

We actually do need more things in game to hold people accountable for their performance rather than riding on the coattails of people who know math, and how to right click.

If DPS check -> instant kill worked for individuals who failed to do enough damage, then it would make sense, but it would suck if you're geared up and did a lot of damage, only to die when the rest of the mpa doesn't do enough.

PD has that though the damage requirements is barrel bottom.

[Enforcer MKV]

Oh, wow, those parts look awesome. Hope the skirt is part of the body piece and not the legs on the caseal side. Would really like them to add a toggle to certain portions like that.

[TaigaUC]

If a game is going to aim to appeal to lots of people who aren't going to use upgrade systems, they should probably just avoid designing content around that stuff.
Or make separate content for both, and make it clear that you need to upgrade to enjoy the "upgrade required" content. Have some kind of hard requirement.
Of course, there will still be leechers either way. Especially if the content is really boring.

I really wish we could just fight Odin directly. I like boss fights.
More solo stuff would be nice too, then we wouldn't have to worry about other people being assholes.

[Kondibon]

Or make separate content for both, and make it clear that you need to upgrade to enjoy the "upgrade required" content. Have some kind of hard requirement.
So like an "item level" requirement that a lot of other games have for endgame content? I could get behind that. Though there's a huge issue of PSO2 having non-linear gear progression in the first place. :/

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

I'm not complaining. I haven't tried it myself, so I don't know.

The thing is, even if PSO2 has hard checks and people die, they will assume other people are being weak.


Ironically, people were saying this for years in FF14 about its need of a damage meter, especially when most endgame encounters for years in FF14 are just like Odin: dps checks in some degree. Talking about using the 3rd party program to monitor everyone's DPS was an offense, but apparently they're working on making one native to FF14.

As you know, jobs in that game are super simple, and pretty much have one way to play each one of them right, simple gearing, and somewhat force-feeds players how their classes function for the most part, and people still muck it up.


If DPS check -> instant kill worked for individuals who failed to do enough damage, then it would make sense, but it would suck if you're geared up and did a lot of damage, only to die when the rest of the mpa doesn't do enough.


That's many standard group-play based MMOs in a nutshell. Coming from WoW, and FF14 (the latter is far more punishing), you don't mind it after a while. In group play, people should pull their weight. TD and CM use these concepts. They're just not as obvious and blunt as the one-shot timer Odin has.

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

Also, I want the scratch after FF14 collab to be here already.

I want the eye cover hairstyle, both basewears, and that nice longcoat for ladies, badly.

[TaigaUC]

I don't know much about FF14, just that people seem to like it, and it's not made for solo people.
The shots I've seen of it don't look too great to me.
Someone around here said it has huge content droughts. That sounds really awful for a subscription game.

I know the reason these games have all the upgrade crap is for the sake of progression, and copying upgrade systems other games have.
Progression is there to give people a goal, and also to give weaker players a way to get stronger.
The problem is, the strong people want to become stronger too, so there will always be that gap.

I think that from what we've seen, it's just not realistic to have content simultaneously aimed towards both serious competitive players and casual/light gamers.
At the same time, from my experience in WoW, simply cutting people off content unless they join a guild/raid, is also a shitty thing to do.
I do remember that for Zul'Aman, WoW had a small group version, as well as a large group version, although they had different rewards and stuff.
Making different versions of content for different kinds of players might be the best way to solve the effectiveness gap problem.

Anyway, just random thoughts.


Someone in the comments on the stream just asked if Matoi's episode 4 layering will be SG.
Guess I wasn't the only one who thought that.

[TaigaUC]

Next map Vegas confirmed.
So it really was North America.

Didn't someone say we'd have to fight the Statue of Liberty? That's confirmed too.

Seems like not that many angry people on livestream. 73% voted very pleased with the stream.

;3382135']I guess I'm weird, but I see nothing interesting any of the stuff bumped posted about this broadcast.I really don't think you're the only one. Vegas is at most mildly interesting. They spent most of the trailer showing the mini mechas that are probably going to effectively be nothing more than a means to get on the rooves of the buildings. As much as I like their design I think I would prefer they had just given us fancier jump pads or something.

[TaigaUC]

I want that hot pants outfit. Shame it has weird ugly shoe strap things, though.
And the white mage outfit looks nice.
Maybe interested in Odin's camo, but that'll probably be buyable with everyone spamming the limited quest.

Grand Prix winner weapon camo designs didn't really look like my kind of thing.

[isCasted]

But, like... 3D! This game finally utilizes 3D space for its fields in some way! What took them so long...

Anyway, "New Free Field Experience" did get delivered. Rest of the stream is rather disappointing, however. It took them so damn long to add this field, they wasted so much time and money on stuff like merchandise, drama CDs and RNG-based content like that new casino minigame.

That minigame is especially disappointing, because trailer made it look like a spiritual successor to Mesetan Shooter of sorts, and gameplay session showed that its half-guessing/half-praying frustration fest with enormous stakes.

[Kazzi]

You know what, watching that trailer just put a huge grin on my face this looks hilariously fun and we can make all the PSO2 is coming to America jokes we want.

Come to England next I want a boss fight on Big Ben

[Chris_Chocobo]

I'm thinking next will be Europe, maybe Paris?

I was going to say the same. We have Japan, USA and maybe next Europe. Finally PSO2 came to the West lol

[TaigaUC]

What's the point of adding free field anyway? Almost nobody does free field unless the dailies come up, or something.

[BIG OLAF]

Well, they've done it. New PSO2 'content' has officially hit rock-bottom and has become a total cringe-fest. Some of y'all actually think this looks good?

[Sonic Zero]

DAT joke:

Use 80SG in SG scratch to chance of 120CC... OR buy 20SG using 19800CC. (Detail: Limited to 35SG per week using total of 34200CC)

HAHAHAHAhaha...ha...aaaaaaa... :-(

[TaigaUC]

Holy shit. Are those the actual prices? Wow.

Content wise there's still nothing to really do in-game.
Slapping America on won't change that. Look how fast Tokyo died. Nobody does it.

They will probably make some EQ like Yamato where we have to kill a bunch of America mobs before boarding some vehicle that we mindlessly mow down with AIS.
I can see that being the pattern from now on.

[EvilMag]

I love how they plastered the USA flag all over Las Vegas. SEGA we get it, we're in America.

[TaigaUC]

Gonna be funny when we get other countries, and their flags will be plastered all over the place too.

[Raujinn]

My main issue with the Odin thing is if the DPS check is brutal it's going to lead to MPAs that never get started cause people will sit there furiously gear-checking each other and panic-leaving. I mean they do this for EQs as it is, and this is a quest that's always available...

Yes, PSO2 needs more challenging content but not this way. Losing every single item you gained because of one DPS check right at the end of the quest is excessively punishing. I mean shit, every raid I've done in other MMOs just reset the boss's HP when you failed and let you immediately try again, not bootyou back to the very start of the raid and respawn everything that least up to it... And these are bosses that are far harder than what PSO2 has to offer.

[NoobSpectre]

Welp... FFXIV is kinda ok. 4 man pt LQ? Here ya go.
That attack pattern is quite.... boring but practical. I mean, its a few attack with little variation, but hell the AOE is big.
Then the final attack, oh wait... its sh.

America... I do not know nor went to America, but I always have the feeling that when you picture other places, you think of their favorite landmark. Well I think SEGA did that instead of proper research... Las Vegas eh.

More SG stuff and completion sheet, oh well, that means more potential moaning.

"Hey guys I found out that running like ninja and fly kick might not be enough"
"Lets put a true vehicle to travel shall we?"
"Yeah, a chickenleg-walker motorcycle hybrid would be nice."
Nah no, seriously, that thing is cool, more Screenshots.

I still like to keep up with the story and such, but I don't stick around for the actual gameplay.

But man, I wish PSO2 looked that good. Maybe for PSO3...

[Youmu Konpaku]

is this only me get dissatisfied with las vegas as a new map?

i mean, it's a city again .. ^^;

and about the odin thing, is zantetsuken attack will come at 1%hp of odin? which mean even you get good dps, it still can be fail? or odin zantetsuken attack in pso2 changed other condition like time based maybe?

[TaigaUC]

The characters and outfits in FF14 don't look very appealing to me.
Maybe it's a style issue. It all just looks kinda generic.
I think the environments I've seen were okay, though.

I don't really care about Las Vegas either.
First thing that comes to my mind for Las Vegas is gambling.
But we already have a Casino, and still with none of the kind of mini-games I'd hoped they'd add.

Guess with the inclusion of these frog like mounts and the level of traversal freedom it provides, the next step would have to be space combat while piloting combat space ships.

The Odin fight actually looks a little more challenging than what was presented to us in the first Odin trailer. The telegraphs do look a lot harder to dodge. I love that you can fail the quest if hit with Zantetsuken just like in FFXIV.

Do we know from datamining what the probable potential could be for Aura weapons?

[Lyrise]

Just for anyone to review if they never got to catch the stream, I've uploaded the entirety of it on Youtube (see link below)


Do we know from datamining what the probable potential could be for Aura weapons?

+12% damage dealt and -15% damage taken at latent lv. 3. It may not win any awards for power, but they look pretty cool and do fit in nicely for those who also focus on defense (for whatever reason).

See the livestream here (skip to 53:28 for the aura latents):

[SPOILER-BOX]
https://youtu.be/MJzWGVITsfg?t=53m31s[/SPOILER-BOX]

[Bellion]

It's +12% damage to bosses, to be specific. It'll be either on par or slightly less damage than an Ideal depending on the circumstances, but you get a whopping -15% damage for your tank specialization needs!

[Shinamori]

What was the Ray latents?

[Tunga]

If it was 12% general dmg then i would take the 15% dmg reduction over 10% natural pp regen anyday.

[Lumpen Thingy]

[yoshiblue]

Maybe the next director will make tanking viable? T-t-tanking in my PSO? Oh noes!

[GoldGenII]

http://puu.sh/pA5YG.gif

Wouldn't be the first time nor least bit surprising.

[Meteor Weapon]

Tanker would probably be a mix of Range/Melee if it ever happens.

[TaigaUC]

They're not worthless to noobs who have no idea what good gear is.
And I'm sure SEGA knows that and is trying to milk it for all its worth.

[Hrith]

+12% damage dealt [to bosses] and -15% damage taken at latent lv3.Thank you for your reply and the upload. It could be a nice one for some weapon types, but I hope the -15% damage taken is not only from bosses.

I also hope the ATK value is not around that of Ideal weapons because of that potential, though >_>

[Zorak000]

Using the text from the Ideal weapon's potential I assembled what I could from the wording of the Aura potential:

強敵への
[kanji]ダメージが12%上昇[character]
[kanji]ダメージが15%上昇[kanji][character].

vs. the text on swiki for the ideal potential:

強敵へのダメージが18%上昇する。

Judging from the first 4 characters being on a separate line in the Aura potential's description, I think both the damage AND damage resistance only applies to bosses


Stat-wise the +35'd Aura W.Lance has 1350 S-atk before affixes I think, while Ideal W.Lance is 1208

[Saffran]

Tanking is currently not really viable - I would know, I am tanking.
Long story short, regardless of your proficiency at playing the game (avoiding attacks, just-guarding, etc) your safest bet for survival is to deal just enough damage to break a boss part and force a stun animation.
Right now, a HU/FI with Austere maxed (even at +160) cannot do that on Guard Stance. At 3320 SATK, even Over End doesn't necessarily break parts in one full combo. It sometimes does but you can't rely on it.
That being said, with this potential it would help tankers when they need it the most, so... it's not too bad.
Actually, it would be nice - if a little bit of a troll move - to have potentials that depend on stances. Or on mags.
