Returned to PSO2... and WTF?!?!

[Tunga]

if it broke out

Yeah buddy

Not to mention... Satellite cannon. Even worse I can buy it at lvl 17 and 1 shot nearly everything. 3k damage at lvl 17 for 5k? HOORAY!!!! GAME OVER...

I want to assume this isn't bait, because I like seeing people get into the game, or come back to it, a larger community means more people to potentially play with
If you want to jump to SEA, go ahead, but it's much more unbalanced, and hundreds of times more cash hungry. Also they have an IP block in place if you're not from the SEA region.

I think they mean "I am level 17 and I bought Sat Can from Player Shop/Photon Drop shop"

Well you bought the wrong PA for levelling, go buy End Attract and request a Divine Launcher Type-0 craft.

But for a harder game out the gate, try Soul Worker >_>

Dude really needs to take a chill pill >_>

Dude what? You can't buy a lv17 Satellite Cannon or any PA from a shop. you have to farm it in AQ.

I went to the visiphone player shops and saw a few up for sell, around 5k for level 1.

You know that the Chain Banish bug has been patched out a long time ago, right? Although the strat still exists, it's highly impractical outside of a controlled environment. Also, you can't buy Level 17 anything. Good luck buying a Lv. 10 Sat Cannon, much less using it on anything that moves a lot.

If you stopped after the fourth area, I can't imagine why you wouldn't think the game would add new stuff. Or reduce the grind, because I don't know anyone who prefers to spend all of their ingame hours level grinding.

I dont know what your talking about but my post said i am lvl 17 and can buy satellite cannon. Its not hard to time your PAs with predictable boss movements as the videos i posted before and many more on youtube show.

And as for the grind, the game was built as a grind. The entire game is just that, a grind for new stuff, stones/badges, fun scratchers, ect. The level grind was just part of THE GRIND.

What you said is like saying "I dont know anyone who prefers to spend all their in game time grinding for levels, now lemme get back to grinding my rare items, stones/badges, ect..."

That's literally the main thing of PSO. Even on the original on Dreamcast, it was all about grinding for gear, not levels. I didn't know people actually cared for levels for anything other than getting access to new gear in any of the games since the original PSO.

And PSO2 never made level part of the grind from anything I remember, it always felt like something that existed for the sake of spacing the content and difficulty levels out more than to grinding levels themselves.

Of course you can buy Sat Cannon, regardless of level. That doesn't mean it will demolish everything. That's what End Attract is for.

So, you're complaining because the game got more convenient? I'm not even sure why I'm still here, I like my topics salt-free.

Thats part of the mentality.

"I need to level up so I can get those skill points, for those extra stats, or to reach that new area."

Hell even sega knows this, thats why every update they add a few levels with huge exp thresh holds for those next 5/10 levels. It extends new content and longevity of the game. Thats why at launch they knew the amount of content they had and made the game difficult enough to last quite awhile. Now with all the content avail I guess it makes it easier to lure new players in with just the flashy animations and shiny 7-10 star equips.

Dont get me wrong im not upset at the fact you can own vol dragon or any of the first 5 major bosses, you could do that before with proper tactics and PAs.

BUT NOW, oh you just started? HERE have 10 EXP 100%, 5 50% rare drop items. OH wait take these too NEW PT items for insta win AND ARMOR giving +50 EVERYTHING! Oh WAIT get more EXP/DROP+ items for free when you hit lvl 10 ect with another +50 everything armor. Rare drops everywhere! get your 300+ dmg weapon at lvl 10!

I didnt have to do anything but drop a WB and 3 or 4 PAs on rockbear and Vol dragon maby 5 or 6... Its not because WB but those FREEBIES.

Actually we've been stuck at level 75 for about 2 years now. The only new stuff we get are skill rings and more 13★s. 10★s are just Excube/NT grind fodder at this point.

Also the 50% rare drop items are just throwaways, by endgame you need to use 250%s because there's collection sheets where 50% rare drop means instead of killing 100 Vegas Illusias, you need to kill 70.

Heck they might have been 100% ones i dont even know ill have to check since i just put em in storage.

Good thing you mentioned those skill rings. I had a few questions regarding them:

They give you skills of other classes right? Any restrictions besides the casino coins needed to buy them? Can you buy them with meseta from player shops? Leveling them up does what?
