Thinking of jumping back into PSO2... soonish.

[pikachief]

Last time I played PSO2 on a normal basis, the Ruins had just came out I think. Then I started playing less and less due to the fact that I couldn't find anyone to do any missions with. I'd be on for one-two hours a day without being able to find anyone to help me with unlocking Very Hard Mode and thus making the game really boring for me. It might as well have been a dead game.

I got on a little when Dark Falz came out and played that here and there, but after about a week or 2 I just stopped playing altogether.

Now I've been contemplating coming back, but I don't have much play time and starting the 2nd week of June i'd probably only have weekends.

So I was wondering what has changed? I remember there was the second set of classes and lvl 40 at the time I think. Maybe 50. And there was Ruins and Falz and lots of Time Attack missions that I only was able to find a party to play in a couple times :/

Is it easier to find people to do COs and TACOs? Is there a wider variety of missions that have full parties for me to run so that I can do my COs solo or just level up or hunt? I'd like to join but if I'm gonna be sitting in a lobby the whole time looking for people or just soloing, I'd rather not.

I have a huge list of game things to do in my limited schedule and I'd rather play those than sit in a lobby, but Phantasy Star is a series I love and has been in my family since the original was my Dad's first purchase with his first job so I'd like to get into it again.

Spoiler!

It's pretty easy to solo, level up and do your COs. End game is kinda dull because it's just sitting around unless someone else needs the same stuff you want because no one ever wants to do anything, especially in the english community for some reason.

I can see Super Meat Boy on your list of games. I suck at that game. Its so hard

Content wise there are a few new things. Advance Quests are what people tend to do a lot with a lot of good rares dropping from them. There's also the Dragon Sanctuary field been added. The level cap has been raised to 60 now too. Falz Hunar can now appear in free-fields provided you've faced him in the EQ or story-quest (not 100% sure but I'm assuming this is the case as I have yet to find him) and a new boss called Chrome Dragon can appear anywhere as well.

I'm not sure if it's easier to find people to do TA and COs with as I tend to avoid B20 as much as I can and I'm not part of a team. I could help you with COs but I don't think I'll be much help with TA seeing as I can't do them well at all (can't get above B rank).

Nothings changed, still same game with more outfits and one new area that nobody runs. And I suppose AQ, which for the most part killed multi party outside of EQs.

I don't understand, are you asking us if its worth it for you to spend a couple of minutes logging in to check it out? It has no subscription fee, it's not like its difficult for you to just log in and see for yourself.

If he's like me he doesn't want to wait for hours just to update and not like it. That's what a community is for, getting help and answers to questions. The game must be boring else you wouldn't be trolling the forums.

[Dextro]

So you quit because you couldn't reliably find anyone to do stuff with, and you're asking us if things might be different this time around?
Sadly we can't really give you that answer; it's something that you'll need to log-in and find out for yourself.

Sure there's new content, but lack of content isn't exactly the reason you stopped playing now, is it?

I'm going to be blunt: Most of those games will feel more rewarding than PSO2 has in the time you've been absent.
