How is PSO2 more than just DPS?

[Zorak000]

It wasn't region locked, rather they used different routing to their servers that wasn't properly accessible by several ISPs outside of Japan, but there were still some that could connect even without a VPN/proxy; I was one of the lucky ones who had an ISP that could connect properly.

yeah when we figured out what was happening, I talked to somebody I knew that knows more about network stuff than me and they were like "how does anybody even maintain a connection outside of the city block like this"

https://www.newegg.com/p/N82E16822236339 I just bought one of these a month or so ago and it's playing just fine

been playing the entire 7 year run out of michigan here; no problems.

the terms of service stuff is just legalese so they don't have to train their support staff in multiple languages. even just before they added that to the terms of service even the producer was impressed by how quickly an english patch had surfaced.

also, back during that time we had to use cyberkitsune's proxy server tech to get around the weird IP address situation, cyberkitsune discovered that pso2 clients send enough data to the server that sega knows who the foreign users are, so if they really wanted to kick us off they would have done so years ago

Can't be a dps game if it's a fashion game

Misinformation about what constitutes as a law aside, there's nothing wrong with not wanting to play a game where it's against the ToS to play it, regardless of how much of a formality that is.

OP, do you get angry if you play ffxiv and see the party healer use DPS spells? Or while we're at it, do you think the tank and healer are the ones carrying the party and the DPS is just along for the ride and doesn't have to do any hard work? Serious questions.

Uhh... Not really.... I Think FF is is just FF... Been doing different things all the time... But in a way you're right... It's simply part of the fact that it's not exactly PSO and More like PSU (Portable 2) but on turbo mode. Sort of, Not that there's anything wrong with that Believe me, I was quite impressed with Portable 2 it's just that apparently the enemy in Pspo2 can give be far more of a threat ofc that was probably due to the mechanics ... PSO2? Well the Enemies could be better but it's better than nothing ....

I can appreciate you showing an interest in PSO2 and other peoples opinions. That aside, I think you need to truly appreciate those words in your sig because your own morals/opinions/misconceptions on guidelines vs rules are in direct conflict with it.

There's only so much you can learn about PSO2 or anything really from second hand views or whatever. Just play the JP release for a few months then move over to the US version when released if you want to. Life is too short to be setting artificial boundaries and excuses over such trivial things as computer games.

If you cant play the game because you lack space, make space! If you cant make space, buy a new drive ($40 for 1TB SSD is not a bad price at all!) If you cant afford it, drop hints while its the holiday season and get a friend or family member to buy one for you. For every excuse you make, there is a logical solution so please stop kidding yourself.

To answer if PSO2 is more than DPS, I think PSO2 is whatever you make of it. The game itself is a glorified gacha/dress-up sim with RPG elements. Its entirely up to you how you play the game ultimately and whether you focus on being a self proclaimed MPV in an MPA or a handsome looking trap who's flamboyancy rings true throughout the fashion catalog.

Most enemies can be beaten regardless of your individual or collective DPS with the only thing getting in the way of that being the quest timer. DPS is subjectively perceived anyway. For someone who has played PSO2 for a long time, you will just know when DPS is lacking because facing a certain enemy will take longer than it might have done previously. For the most part, its really not a big deal when you reach true endgame.

I wish I could say more, but it really does help to just play the game and experience it first hand when faced with questions like this.

I know Ibh My problems kind of runs deeper than that ...and it's not with just PSO2... But that's for another time.

It depends, enemies at lower levels and especially older content mostly don't feel like a threat, but there are enemies (especially some of the newer ones) that can put up a fight in higher levels/end game content (though even those don't stand a chance against large groups of players).

Boss fights is where PSO2 shines though.

I would like a explanation On how exactly PSO2 isn't just a pure DPS race. because it looks more like a style over substance type of game which is not good for people who want to go for strategy Which obviously the game doesn't allow..Unlike PSO1 PSZ and PSU/Pspo1 & 2.

I will say thank you for keeping the forum alive with your threads. Most pso2 convo these days are on discord which is very toxic place.


Hopefully I can team with you on NA version if you won't come to JP
