Well, that's 5 seconds of show for the only male swimwear included in that AC Scratch and the rest of the video is quite simply full of naked slags. I know that's one the things that keep the game alive but... Geez !
MUST. GET.

maybe i'm missing something but this is the first time sega gives away AC tickets right? and already in this massive scale?! idk about the intention but it's good news for me since i should get some cheap pp/3 for 8/22 either i could get it over scratches or not. AC should go 2nd order = my massive fodd items long should get some more buyers :-D
Giving away scratch tickets? That's... new.
Also, Azure Dreams vibes off that music.
Might be because of Monster Hunter World coming to PC this August. ^^
haha, it must be that, shady sega strikes again. i don't really pay attention to MHW, my last MH was on ps2 like 10 years ago.
I watched some MHW feedbacks on youtube... Poor fighting mechanics, only boring grinding orders, no leveling except weapons... well I think it's a piece of shit.
I can get people not liking MH's core gameplay loop being "fight the monsters", but I'd really like you to elaborate on that.Quote:

MH is built around that though. Learning to adjust to your weapons is a big part of the game. It's fine if you don't like it because it's slower, but it's not outdated because of it.Quote:

To each their own, but classes being able to fly around the map with no worries is not exactly clap-deserving mechanic either. PSO2 current design suffers from the syndrome of "If it doesn't instakill you, you can let it hit you forever" to exaggerate a bit. Having slow actions meant that the players had to take them into account to avoid any potential incoming damage, which adds a bit of strategy in positioning, and at the same time allowed developers to balance that incoming damage to something that just nudges your HP bar, not outright deplete it. Sure the game feels more fluid now and we feel more in control of our characters, but the exchange is that we now have gameplay that relies exclusively on instakills to challenge players.Quote:

Well if actually had played the game you'd know how foolish you sound. Monster Hunter games are mechanically tight games where each fight is a boss fight. It doesn't feature a leveling system but that only gets in the way of enjoying the game and everyone knows that which is why you won't find any hunting games with a experience bar. Your character grows stronger depending on the gear you crafted from the remains of the enemies. to access higher difficulties you need better gear and so on. Every frame of these games count. You can pull of some incredible stunts if you are an expert in the weapon of your choice. I remember back in EP2 people were begging Sega to take notes from Monster Hunter because back then there was no Limit break and monster hunter already had self status inflicting items. Traps and Bombs were always useful in these games and it only took Sega till recently with the level 85 cap to make Rangers give a shit about those. Monster Hunter games are some of the best games you can get on any system they're available on. They're incredibly fun to play both solo and with a multiplayer group. Japan isn't insane about the series for no reason.Quote:

I personally dont even consider MH an Action RPG, as much as a strategy game with action rpg elements. PSO2 by comparison, I consider it closer to a Hack and Slash with rpg elements. Both feel like extreme opposites in the Action RPG scale.

I literally got everything I wanted and stopped playing now to pick up the PC release and wait a tiny bit longer on G ranks release because they won't add that right away with an influx of new players coming in (I could be wrong though).
you have a source for this? Im genuiely curious about how much they went into all thisQuote:

Well enough with offtop here. I just FINISHED this scratch and have a whole week to save money for the next one. Yahoo!

On topic, ill probably throw 10 of those free ac tickets on the summer scratch tops, the bulk of my aim is the frame arms collab.
I'll probably wait and see which scratch has a 30 AC scratch bonus that I like. Especially with Affix booster 50% around I'd like to pick carefully.
Is anybody else mildly annoyed that Affix Success +50% Boosters are relegated to AC Scratch instead of Bingo rewards?
noQuote:

As soon as we get 60% Affix boosters upslotting to 8s during boost week will finally be possible without gambling your entire life savings.
Just checking, we will be able to use these free scratch tickets on support item scratches?
They appear to be the same generic AC Scratch Tickets available from the AC Shop (as opposed to the difference between the Free Salon Passes and the AC/SG Shop Salon Passes), so I see no reason why they shouldn't work with the support scratch.Quote:

It doesn't help with normal affixes, and it certainly doesn't help with units.Quote:

And here I show how much of a noob I am. I didn't know we can buy S abilities from shop.Quote:

when did they say anything about s6? or even s5? about all I heard was that Atra is going to be the only S4 weapons for at least the rest of the episode. The game files show icons for all the way up to S8, but PSCrew has to demonstrate to us that they are actually going to follow through with this system, and not just toss it to the side later (hey remember when collection files were the way to get the gear you wanted? and not untradable 100% RNG drops? or glacially slow rock collection? or some kind of hellspawn of two types of RNG-only drops with a side of rock collection?) I mean val weapons are ok in my book because even though they are RNG drop only, you can at least trade those, so if you get the thing your buddy could use, you could hook each other up
I dont think they said about S5-8 yet and yes they said Atra is going to be the only series with S1-4 on them so we'll have to wait until Ep6 or if backward tread on this statement and that last raid of the Ep offers 1-4 too idk.Quote:
Originally Posted by Zorak000

I mean come on, even if Val drops became CF's I gurantee you they will or wont have nothing more than ok-ish SSA's on them and of course the better ones being drop only.
remember, every person in game has Atra available to them from the start, all it takes is a +35, a Title material with some crafting items and thats it, you're pretty set for awhile until you hit the real grind or rather until something good drops for you to fill in your other weps
I mean it kinda sucks when you actually play a class seriously and the only progression you can make it based on RNG and not of any effort of your own. Atra was a great step to correct this but you can only have one from Title and Time Stone from Dragon rematch is probably the rarest drop from him. Gunner is my main and that's where my Atra is, but I also play Fighter and I'd love Apprentice TDags but everyone else I know has gotten them and I haven't. Feels good to know the only thing I can do is mash the LQ and pray.Quote:

there are people to this day who are doing end game content with old 13*'s (like quilph) so realistically you dont need these 14*'s to be good but yes min/max etc complain about drop only items all you want, just remember the moment you get everything you want given to you (even by CF's), you lose interest in the game and players stop dropping off because theres nothing to work or look towards in terms of gear. You're never going to get the toppest of gear by them just handing it to you (and i say this loosely right now because Atra), drop only will almost always be the go to gear to get and hunt for for min/max damage.Quote:
Originally Posted by Jene-chan

Obviously aim for Lumiere if RNGesus is kind to you and drops a +34 or 2 of the Jutus weapons you need since Lumiere is getting buffed down the line
you ALSO have Austere NT to look forward which inevitably will be 14* with S1-3 coming down the line too, what methods of getting Austere NT aside Conversion and I assume drops idk, I cant say because I'm not the Dev's
also don't bother with App TD's, better stuff out like I said, Lumiere but if you want them, go for them then
It's the merit and demerit of the game that you don't need the best gear to clear everything. You don't even need gear remotely close to the best. The problem is, by admission of the devs as well, tons of people play this game for time attack and that's min-maxing. If you're gated from a damage tier from a drop only weapon, that's pretty ggs. A lot of people don't like mindless farming and yes, I know, this is how PSO2 operates now, but a lot of people don't feel it's rewarding when you mash for hours and get nothing. Even a lot of my Japanese friends say the JP community of long-time players feel similarly.
Also I'm amused that you'd suggest to go after Lumi TDs as opposed to App TDs as they're gated by RNG as well.
as a dedicated Te who understands best just how hopelessly dependent Techers are on Lavis just to catch up to the current meta, I would like to strongly disagree.Quote:

Incidentally, getting the best gear for one or two of my classes never prevented me from enjoying most quests, so again that's up to the player.Quote:

Well part of that is collection files not being permanent.Quote:

Whatever happened to Sega's plan of making the Seasonal EQ drop exclusive weapons tradeable? I'd love to have that bow from Driving rain but EQ drop luck is a joke for me.
This LQ has less than a week on it, if you get them cool use them if you dont, farm Enchanted Forest and hope you get them. Reguardless they outpower App TD's and only furthers the dmg diff later onQuote:

This will be a heaven then. the time i spend for gearing now can be used to play other pso2 content and searching & savings meseta. there are many tickets that i don't have, only male charcters have much fashion tickets because female fashion tickets are generally expensive. i now can play the story of pso2 because i never doing it ever since i play pso2jp in late episode 2 because of my time goes to grinding. making both all characters and all class to lvl 85 and all become the top of dps is veryy tiring and need so much time, i already sacrified my real life for that. i want to play all the pso2 content, not just phantasy grinding online2. if you just play for grinding, then yes no motivation to play then.Quote:

Sometimes that does involve gear, but that's not the only thing I play for, and most of the time I prefer new toys over bigger numbers.Quote:

When top gear is tied to pure RNG, I feel completely discouraged from ever trying to farm it. At least I've learned not to give a fuck about RNG after years of playing, in the past trying to farm anything with any influence of RNG has lead to nothing but frustration, which is something you don't want when playing a game, you know.Quote:

the real endgame is slamming mutiblock with expert matching off
and amassing the most/best outfits
anyway Endless Quest is about the closest we seem to have gotten so far to something players with the best gear would want to run to make themselves slightly better, or to sell the spoils off for more money for more cosmetics
I still wish they did more with the free match system from buster quests, like make a version that works utilizing other content in the game, level scaling yourself to help out somebody else without making the quest boring for them, while still earning something you can use for yourself, is a type of system more online rpgs oughta utilize
476 basewears, try to beat it. ;-)Quote:
