Thinking of coming back after a long time

[r2zero]

Hello PSOW!

I played PSO2 for a while until I quit around fall/winter of last year. I'm on the fence about rejoining and "starting fresh" (prob just gonna join another ship). The last thing I remember happening was Ultimate Nab getting released (and me finding it tedious).

What's different about PSO2 since then? Some of the questions I have:

How big is the gap between Free and Premium Users? I remember it getting smaller by the time I left. How good are crafted weapons/units now?

Any major melee class changes/balances since then?

How worth it is it to play PSO2es alongside?

How easy is it to make money now?

Any help is appreciated!

Sega change Ultimate Nab. It's stupid easy now...

What's different about PSO2 since then? Some of the questions I have:

Nothing much has change...

How big is the gap between Free and Premium Users? I remember it getting smaller by the time I left.

The gap isn't too big. Free user could get by just as good.

How good are crafted weapons/units now?

Red weapon and Saiki are the best.

Any major melee class changes/balances since then?

Braver just plain broken... like always.

How worth it is it to play PSO2es alongside?

Pretty good, if you don't want to go in PSO2 to feed Mag or level.

How easy is it to make money now?

Free player could make about 2-3mil a week in there.

Bravers are broken? wat

I think some people are just really fucking salty about how katana got a new PA that doesn't suck, after the Shunka ordeal.

That thing is broken. Really, all you need to do is just spam it and everything die.

Spamming any PA will eventually make things die. It's called attrition. Being easy to use multiple times in quick succession doesn't make things broken, otherwise Strezwei would be broken too.

Gunslash really need that. It got nothing. Guran on the other hand... broken. Wide attack, little PP cost, good for dash, and high damage.

Braver isnt broken. The new PA is easy and spammable but it doesnt carry players like Shunka did before lol.

So what you're saying is, everything here is broken. You can spam any of those PAs, and everything will die eventually.

Your logic sucks. You do know that, right?

Guren is a good PA. That doesn't make it broken. Its attack range is decent but not absurdly so, its PP cost is actually normal, being good for dashing doesn't make something broken, and its damage (and DPS) isn't that high compared to other katana PAs. It's certainly not even pre-nerf Shunka tier.

More importantly, comparing Braver with other classes like Fo/Te, Te/Br, or Fi/Hu would make it pretty clear that Braver as a whole is not broken either.
