PSO2 Players Site Update - Story Quest Difficulty Adjustment Being Considered

[Ryo]

According to this post there have been a large number of complaints that some of the story quests are far too difficult.

SEGA is reviewing the issue and is looking into making these quests less difficult.

What do you guys think? I for one think it's pretty hard to A or S rank story quests later in the game, and the second part of chapter 4 is particularly crazy.

While they're at it, can they make "Hard Mode", well, hard?

As for the actual Story quest re-balance, I can't comment. Haven't touched the story, and have no intention of doing so.

Difficulty adjustment considered...

Making things harder again?

Or just nerfing snow banshee and panther because a bunch of people whined it was too hard. (I get the feeling this happened somewhere in Japan's internet community. By god I hope I'm wrong.)

edit: Oh no I didn't read the whole post, it's just making story mode easy............

>_>

Wow, when the Japanese start complaining, you know they messed up.

I only completed the first one, but I heard they do get extremely difficult.

I personally want to see some client orders toned down as well.

A shame. You can actually get decent loot regularly toward the end of the story. The last story quest is actually the hardest thing I've played in the game so far.

Meh, just doesn't seem worth it to me. I can't appreciate what's going on due to the language barrier, so it kind of kills any enthusiasm.

Another unneeded nerf, these quests aren't difficult at all =/

For those who care, the "hard" boss fights in question:

Matter Board 3: Masked Man fight
With Xeno and Echo
This one is the same as those fights with Nagisa in Infinity; hard to melee, so just strafe them with the Gunslash.

Matter Board 4-1: Gwanada
With Furie

Matter Board 4-2: Gilnas
With Furie

Matter Board 5-1: Vol Dragon
With Light and Aki

Matter Board 5-2: Boosted Vol Dragon
With Light and Aki

Honestly, I never had a problem with any of them.

EDIT: Unless they mean the S-Rank qualifications. That I can totally understand. I killed literally everything on the map in the MB5 missions and only got an A. What, am I supposed to sit there for ten minutes killing things during Emergency Codes?

Have you done Chapter 4? I'd argue that's pretty nuts.

Well the forced solo nature of story quests makes it a lot harder. If they make it easier, I hope they don't touch the regular quests since the challenge of tackling them solo is completely optional.
