Then just remove the setting,theres no difference anymore.

Hopefully Break SD Bonus will be buffed to not be exclusively about Dual Blades and Mainclass only so that Bo as a subclass becomes more considerable. I know I'm asking for too much but Sega did manage to make Su a good subclass so I wish they'd be able to do the same with Bo.

Have you run an EQ or Arkuma Land on non-Expert XH lately? It is hell. Sure you have some people who got carried into Expert by friends, but they at least had the drive and desire to try and do it, but back in non-Expert it's just plain bad. Sure removing it and mixing the full playerbase back together might work, but then you get back to the old issue of people camping in blocks and risking getting mixed in with people who can't even be bothered to at least +30 60% a weapon.

I really like how they flip-flopped on Buster Unit upgrades. First they said there would be upgrades, then they said (on stream) that there wouldn't be but now they apologized and said it was a mistake and there /will/ be upgrades. I wonder how you even make a mistake like that. lol

more ez handouts with what will most likely be a 10:1 or 5:1 conversion rate so people can whine about having 1k+ passes and not get what they want

people who can't even be bothered to at least +30 60% a weapon.

Wonder how this is even possible when they literally hand out fully grinded 13*s now.
The game also keeps matching me with this one tool that parasites every eq with a camouflaged emperor axeon. Like that fucking couple % it gives you is ever gonna do anything. Instant report and ditch when I run into the guy. Name ends with "edge".

Wonder how this is even possible when they literally hand out fully grinded 13*s now.

It is probably becuase they are doing a different class than what they used their Certificates for, or they just don't give a damn and just use whatever newest weapon from CF they get or whatever dropped for them in a quest. There is also the possibility that a lot of them don't even know how the weapon system works and just ended up power leveling through the LQ. Anecdotal, I admit, but I was doing Arkuma Land with a non-Expert teammate and several of the people in the run just had a base 100 Badge Homura weapon, not one from the Certificate, just a +0 30% one.

Oh btw. Apparently so many people were upset with how awful the Phobos Weapons are designed that they're gonna be buffed sometime soon.

From what I read on a JP website, the conversion rate is supposed to be 1:2 so Kings Crests are used for the new, more relevant weapons while Conquerors Crest are getting de-valued and easier to get since they're only gonna be used on the outdated EP4 14* weapons.
