I feel like pso2 went uphill from episode 1 through 3. the story went downhill in episode 4 while keeping good gameplay. the gameplay went downhill in episode 5 though the story was an improvement over episode 4. so far episode 6 feels like an improvement in both story and gameplay. I feel like we've finally returned to the level of fun that the game had at the end of episode 3 when mining base demise released.
People not socializing in a social game? Where does the time go?
That's kind of a shame, I feel that the main draw of PSO2 is the multiplayer of course the same can be said for any MMO (Especially FF11 :) ) But there's something about it that draws you in. But I guess the game is more of a Solo game Like from PSO onwards Not that going at it alone is a bad thing... (I'll admit, being a lone hero is cool sometimes) I don't mean to sound so biased but I at least feel they are Phantasy Star Games when it comes to the multiplayer (Most definitely when it comes to fighting Dark Falz and friends.) even if it's for a short while.
People do all this in game though, even today. Naturally more prevelant in teams and certain blocksQuote:

Many people still play PSO2 because they love their characters more than the game itself.
game's still good
balance has been questionable a handful of times
9/10 if you are new
1/10 if you are jaded
7/10 if you come back once every few months
I meant more like the game needs something other than getting good weapons and affixes as evergreen rewards that are still useful to equipment progression. I'm fine with things like lightstream, which will likely be BIS for most, if not all of episode 6, being tied to specific content. Even something as simple as adding new things like weapon badges to old trade in shops would be nice.Quote:

That way they can have a consolidated collection of evergreen rewards for older content in the weapon badge shops instead of needing to tie everything to specific content. In fact going through and updating the rewards for old stone shops in general would probably help. I would live my life in XQs if I could get the units as accessories (that's not really progression, but you get what I mean). Maybe make it so the lumimech trials or whatever give gold badges instead of cubes. Just little things like that.
The only thing I want for CFs is for them to add some sort of equivalent to the 13* pet CFs for normal weapons, but I don't know what weapons it would be for, since you can just buy good 14*s now.
A lot of the game's issues, even the most inane ones like the old control scheme, have been fixed since the game's release. There's still plenty room for improvement (skill tree system is still garbage, units are still a complete mess to set up etc), but the progress is undeniable, and EP6 clearly has more to come.
Content-wise, EP3-5 had been a complete drip-feed (but at least EP3 offered some fantastic memories with UQs and TD4; EP4-5 were largely repetitive and mediocre at their best). But, once again, after mere 2 months into EP6 I already see some massive improvement in the quality of quest and enemy design, as well as content pacing. It's like the game is finally starting to become what it was always meant to be. As long as we get more UQs, UH for more quests (UQs especially so, been waiting for UH Nab since they nerfed the enemy AI to the ground), more things to do outside of EQs - it's absolutely on the right track.
Wait, you mean to tell me that you haven't played PSO2 yet? Weren't you saying in the other thread how the series has jumped the shark or something?Quote:
