Mediocre since '01

Pretty well on my end.

Hello! How are you holding up?

Ah! Oh no! That really must suck!

Which block were you looking into?

Did you forget your password?

PSO2 is back for us!

It's been a while, Ryo!

Uh huh, no problem. One of my biggest peeves in this world is false/undocumented accusations. That tripe is for children, and people who do it need to be slapped in the face.

I know. When I said the team name, I was only referring to the subset of members that are snobby elitists, since, unsurprisingly, they were the ones that came to the gathering with the sole purpose of being rude to people who do not share their interests.

Well, if their idea of 'fun' is to annoyingly spam for 10 minutes straight (which apparently it is) whilst everyone else is trying to talk and have a nice time , then I disagree.

I've not seen that picture, so I didn't know.

Ah, yes, I have. The Ursula Replica is especially nice, since that was my favorite PSP2/i outfit. I also like the deep blue wedding dress, and that shiny blue suit that almost sorta looks like the Valgiris.

I'm not too sure what, exactly, you mean by that. If you mean, do I look at pictures other people post, yes. If you mean, do I dig them up myself, no.

Thank you, I'm sure we will.

Ha, yes, Disney World. Only about an hour north of here. 4-day park hopper passes, can be used on non-consecutive days, and for any park (obviously). My mom was pretty stoked when I told her, since we wanted to go anyway.

Thanks to your invitation in the screenshot thread I am having fun playing in your room. ^_^

I'm doing good some days, not so good other days. Today was a good one. Won some free Disney tickets at work.

You haven't had a visitor message in a while, so here you go. Hopefully that "NOTIFICATIONS: 1" brightens up your day!

...unless it was already bright. Then whatever!

That's good, yeah. I think unless something else is suggested with it that one of two things will happen, though. First is they ignore it, obviously. I'm sure they're being told EVERYTHING is too rare, so they're already not listening to that (or are, and just making shit like mace of adamans super common instead of remotely good items). Second is they do listen, but just make the same mistakes later on.

I think the best angle is to suggest a fundamental change to the system that wouldn't actually be hard to implement. As it is, all the droppable 10*'s are good at everything (and most 10*'s perform fairly similarly damage-wise, at least relative to most 9*'s and below), and in exchange they're super rare.

People always hate on gimmicks, but the only difference between something being gimmicky and a good mechanic is how useful it is. If everything had a good gimmick that DIDN'T cost 3 weeks of solid MPAing to unlock via multiple +10ing, and they were all reasonably attainable (1 thing for 200 hours of hunting vs. 4+ different, situational things per category) everyone would want everything.

Best of all, finding something actually good every more often than once every hundred hours of play is a great feeling, and happy customers are likely to become paying customers.

I really can't see Sega disagreeing with this for any reason besides effort, or already having a plan for the implementation and it relying entirely on the latent system (which I honestly expect to be true, and don't expect to go over well with most people).

Hey, I meant to message you earlier but wound up getting sidetracked (for several days).

That message you wrote up in japanese, what exactly does it say? If we get to something that sounds pretty good, we could get a bunch of people to send it in like all the other player-implemented ideas have been. I haven't found one person that disagrees with 10*s being much much more common and also completely unique, so players will want many more than just 1.

The reason I get so wordy about this topic is that's exactly the way to fix it. Get people to talk about ideas, pick the good ones, and send them in. That exact method has gotten a lot of things changed, things everyone has a consensus on have been tweaked a lot of times already. The fact that nobody could muster up an argument against it, despite seeming like they really wanted to, suggests we're on the right track.

So if we get a solid argument going (10* rares more common + all 10* rares being good = players look for rares longer, get rares along the way to keep them happy and interested), get enough people to agree with it and send it in, maybe hit up a JP site for more support and input, I expect we can get the whole thing changed by pretty much just typing a few paragraphs.
