[PSO2:NGS] So Many L's ...

[@abyssphantom6786]

The other thing worth mentioning, is that players begged for a quest counter for a year after launch til they finally got one, and then more than a year later til they finally put the first replayable quest for the counter, that actually felt like a quest. 2+ years after launch for the devs to actually put in worthwhile replayable quest is a big reason why over 90% of players left

[@mramisuzuki6962]

This was one of the few times that kowtowing to the Japanese market failed miserably, they have a pretty good track record of forcing creators to do what they want and it succeed, but this was not one of them. NGS was clearly not ready and they over estimated how much JP would be accepting of the global release. Sega told them about killing off Base, you think you do, but you don't. Well Sega was right this time.

[@THIZZAVELI]

They clearly released ngs too early. We didn't even get to fully enjoy ep 6 in base. As soon as hatred was released. NGS was around the corner. They didn't even give us a story for luster. They barely gave us any story for phantom. I heard ep 6 was cut short. It sure did feel short.

[@NinTheLost]

they should’ve left NGS cooking for another year or two

[@komujimaru]

im such a new player i started just before the revolcoat stuff dropped

[@THIZZAVELI]

@@komujimaru Lol good, you really didn't miss nothing. You joined at the right time. The game literally released in beta stages. You could tell they were still developing the game. Like certain options were missing. Also, Sounds, notifications,(like the rare drop notification lol), poorly placed teleporters, wasn't that many creatures on the maps, only a few clases to choose from, no skills/PA's, took 3 1/2 months to release all combat sectors in aileo, graphics and FPS wars janky, stuff wasn't balanced, etc etc. This went on for months! Just a bunch of stuff that should've been there day 1. We didn't even have the option to start a party. They also took away the option for free to play players to get access to the shop. It was a mess. The game actually came out of alpha stage with the release of stia. Sega is filthy rich and OG's of the industry. Sonic team been around forever. No excuse for this mess. They've made millions off premium and the loot box. This is not even a AAA game either. One thing they did very well, was the loot box lol. They were putting more content in there than what was actually in the game. They've been consistent since launch too. They were promoting the scratch before NGS launched.

[@freak_mj4842]

Leciel is a step in the right direction for the game the reason: rewards. It feels good to run it because you actually get rewarded with the LC capsules. They should continue with this. Nothing feels worse then spending hours on something and getting nothing out of it (max level purple triggers not dropping giga IV augs, combat sectors rarely dropping anything at all or high lvl combat sectors still dropping 4*-5* and lvl1&2augs ). Arm refiners I &II will become a big problem in the future as well if they don't buff at least the droprate of strugments spending 2-3hours and maybe getting an average of 10 stugments of each type is just to low. Don't get me wrong I'm totally ok with having to farm like x-amount of materials to upgrade something but not if the way of getting it means i have to spend literally months for it (R.I.P people who like to switch around classes alot) Point is make it rewarding and fun to play the content and people will be happy

[@Alisaa]

Leciel has bad rewards for people that don't need LC capsules. I don't get why they're not tradeable at least... it's a pain to sell them through augmented armors

[@matt2centerback]

You know what sucks? That NGS has pretty much strangled base PSO2. I actually got so bored of NGS that I hopped to FFXIV, which managed to hook me hard enough to actually buy the full game plus a subscription. I've been playing PSO2 since *2016*, from EP3 all the way to the end, and then I did it again on the NA servers when they strangled JP, and NGS just killed all of my interest. That's impressive, in a sad way.

[@Fade2BlackSS]

It's the opposite for me. I unsubbed from FFXIV back in February 2023 after 8 years. For new players, the game has a ton of content but for players who have been around for as long as I have, the predictable content release and lack of endgame content and satisfying rewards for harder content turns off a lot of vets. I'm always happy when the game brings in new players but SE really needs to start catering to both kinds of players in my opinion. Even now there's a content lull until next year when the expansion will be released. Content lulls happen but man, Endwalker as a whole just kind of broke me. I think that's why I appreciate NGS. FFXIV is the better game (in my opinion) but NGS is also still fairly new compared to FFXIV. There's still a lot of potential. I've been playing NGS since release, it's come a long way. It's nowhere near perfect but I like just being able to just jump in and play for a few hours without too much dedication.

@@Fade2BlackSS honestly, fair enough. I'm probably still just in my honeymoon phase, and I am a more casual player who cares more about glam and the story than endgame content, but once I'm done with MSQ I'm probably gonna tap out

[@Fade2BlackSS]

@@matt2centerback Maybe. The MSQ is the best thing about FFXIV in my opinion. I can't wait until you get to witness Heavensward and Shadowbringers. I will warn you that glam gets a little underwhelming at higher levels thpugh. Once you hit Shadowbringers, there's a ton of gear that's just recolored versions of Heavensward armors from that point on. The unique stuff is gained from doing the 24-main raids, Extreme and Savage trials for the most part. That's what I meant about meaningful rewards. You get the gear specifically from high level content and don't have anything to do with it afterwards plus it becomes obsolete by the next battle content cycle (which is typically around 6-7 months) That is literally all endgame is in FFXIV. There's a lot of side content and fluff though.

[@BigVorst]

I think Leciel was mostly a step in the right direction. I felt like I was actually being rewarded (again, mostly) for playing compared to everything else, like purples, trinitas, ordinal tower, cb rumble, combat sectors, LTQs, and UQs/Triggers. Solus... Was a step backward though. I like the fight itself, but people just drop to it like flies and can't do enough DPS from my experience, so I haven't been able to clear that... And from what I've heard, the drops from that are worthless anyway, so... I also feel like class balance is a mess right now. While I also enjoy the lack of PA bloat, I also think there needs to be something done with them, they're pretty stale now and we haven't seen new ones in quite some time. Wasn't a fan of duel quests either, not the concept- mind you. The augs and the gearing up for it is what I disliked. I already found getting my close to bis augs annoying, and now I have to do it for a selective game mode, where future additions will disregard my old duel units/weps? Nah, miss me with that. I will say scratches, as always are almost always on point, but that doesn't really help the game. Sure, I look great, but, I'm not having fun anymore. I just log on to do some dailies and weeklies, and then run off to play Baldur's Gate 3 now.

[@PikangsFutaba]

Drops in Leciel can be a dissapointment for the most part, but at least is not too difficult to get the LC capsules, recenlty is kinda hard to complete the boss DPS overall but, I have been getting consistently LC capsules that help me in the long run, but yeah, is pretty much do dailies, a UQ here and there and then go to another game (of course for players who haven't done the story at least to Chapter 5 for most of the content they have something to do).

[@BigVorst]

@cartoonvideos5 I switch being social and antisocial so that aspect doesn't bother me at all. I still think needing multiple sets of units with new augs for a new chapter, sucks.

Yeah, braver, fighter, and now ngs luster. That's pretty much all you see nowadays. Especially trying to rank. The top 20 is always these lol. Or someone using it as sub with their main.

[@km7136]

Fighter isn't even there anymore, slayer invalidated it. It's fine for them to streamline but they didn't even choose the GOOD PA's to keep from base nor did they replace them with anything on par. As an example ngs jet boots don't have anything that compares to grand wave or surging gale from base, not to mention elemental focus. TMG has the most boring PA's compared to its base counterpart. Single target focused weapons like partisan/daggers/bow lose in single target DPS to katana and gunblade so they have no reason to exist. Launcher is just obsolete. Bouncer's skill tree makes no sense The two easiest weapons are also by far the best.

[@km7136]

You also have every piece of content running on a clock so people aren't gonna take a bow or a partisan are they.

and since i play PSU for the 1st time i should say that multi hub system present in PSU were far better being reimplemented than what PSO2 has nor openworld NGS has, since SEGA or Should we say Phantasy Star Crew still seems not ready to make open world content yet and yes possibly better hub transport system than needs to go to certain mission just to go to that hub and later on talk to that certain NPC on the side of that mission hub to teleport

[@blanahaha]

The saddest part about NGS is that I will sometimes go back to base just to play phantom and luster again. Because those classes are still so goddam fun to play! While ngs classes are improvements over their base versions and the general character movement feels better. I feel like all the improvements made in ngs could of just been applied via a big patch to base pso2.

Dark Falz Solus having relatively low BP to enter, but that should be enough to clear right? Right...? Of course not... it made the mistake of using BP as benchmark to enter, but not clear... which was the EXACT SAME MISTAKE as Duel Quests... AND THEY MADE IT A WEEKLY SG GRIND?! I would rather watch paint dry for a whole day than grind Leciel Exploration for hours on end just to even have a chance of actually clearing with randoms... Leciel Exploration they got right, but Dark Fal Solus they got wrong HARD!

Most games do not have a rating to enter the BP requirement is a simple gatekeep for parties to have. Unclench.

I hope they change the opening of the game like the classic pso2... I think will see that until the Starless introduction thing ends 😂

[@DekRavenmane]

I have not started playing until the opening of Kvaris, after what you've described, if I had started playing since the very day NGS started, I think I would be driven completely mad, the opening of the first region sounds akin to psychological torture. I am quite impressed by your mental fortitude. My perspective of the game is different due to previously playing a High Fantasy Social MMO for 14 years and transfer to this only to run into 10 years of content from the Base game as well as 3 regions in NGS. Never understood why people hate this game so much until you describe it, it's even worst when the individual was playing the game for a decade only to lose their years of progress from the franchise softly rebooting itself. To be honest, I've gotten hooked on the game after discovering that I can move my characters from the previous game I've played to this one, If there is one thing I hold out hope it would be more dungeon crawling content being added to NGS.

[@scrubscrub4492]

NGS hater here to say it's mostly because they actively sabotaged base PSO2 to push a game I don't even like the core gameplay of at me. If NGS was just its own game in it's own client, I would've been fine with it.

[@itsdiamondnicole]

It's crazy for me to realize I've been playing this game a month or so after it dropped, and it's even crazier that I've been playing this game almost every day for 2-3 hours. I'm glad I found your channel cause I was for sure out of touch with what was going on in the beginning. I'm pretty sure U completely missed the first seasonal event cause I wasn't paying attention. I think NGS relied too much on Phasion and throwing AC scratches back to back thinking this is what we wanted. Like Kero said, there's more options for players that want to be challenged and casual players that just enjoys what's there now which is good. Hopefully we keep going forward from here.

Great recap of NGS, The slow initial months of NGS is the reason I have a ton of minerals, there was literally nothing to do but collect minerals. I agree, much of the content introduced was not enjoyable, fighting the ancients in Kvaris was great and Stia overall was an absolute win.

Imo, ancients were a cool concept executed terribly, like a lot of other things in the game.

[@kenw.1520]

To be honest: any live service game, that is trying to get better, will get better; due to the nature of "gradual updates" (which is building on top of what you already have). So yeah. NGS is definitely better than it was on release. But if it wasn't better than before and the game was still alive & functioning as a live service... that'd be one for the record books. As a game that got worse over 2 years and didn't shut down. Because that'd be a money sink and why WOULD be still be up and running? That said, I'm happy NGS is still around. But by no means should SEGA take that for granted. They're just now hitting what some would consider the baseline.

[@PikangsFutaba]

While at this point I can feel how the veterans feels at some point at the start, but I got a blast reaching the current content, sure, I have to gear better for Solus and Duel Quests (not to mention the same for the classic side for HTPD and other stuff like Omega Masquerade) but at least it helped me to keep to some extent my sanity. Edit: It would have been rage inducing if I had involved against a Gigantix enemy those ealirer days, as I was foolish enough to challenge one of them when I was level 5 (yup, I got to fight one of those way too early... as early as completing the prologue quest BEFORE the 1st Cocoon) but at that time the Gigantix enemy would stay until leaving it alone or KO it. Edit 2: Autumn 2022 seasonal event could have burned me out but Stia was around the corner AND I had to play classic PSO2, that combination worked for me as I got fun with classic while waiting for the NGS Stia update and over farming minerals and Crystia Weapons (weapons that recently I have started to replace here and there due to DF Solus and Leciel, using the last seasonal weapons as placeholders). Edit 3: Yeah... Mining Rig/Base defense are not quite the quests people play the most, fun for a diversion here and there but still... same can go for those Buster Urgent Quests in classic (got fun recently doing Castrum Demonica Madness yesterday with randos, failing one run at the finish line and the subsequent retry was as smooth as I could wished it went as the team NOW had a good plan to deal with all the stuff.), I just wished that DF Interception Rank 3 would have mixed DF Interception R.2 moveset for Falz here and there to have a little bit more of a challenge, at least is a good enough UQ for a barely qualify BP for Rank 3 to do as thanks to the item drops (mostly Gold Primm II stuff) that everyone in one way or another needs. Edit 4: When Ver.2 was announced, I held my hype overall, as I already had experiences of the "too good to be truth" type of dissapointment, and yeah, it didn't live up to expectations, I just hope things go better at some point.

I can say the same, except for me was October 2022 and I was losing my mind of what to do overall with IRL stuff and being unable to decide what to play until PSO2 came to my mind again (I gave classic PSO2 a quick try back at the end of 2020 and the 1st days of January 2021 having played the Barren Blossom UQ while having no idea of how UQs worked) and here I am, enjoying the game overall.

[@protoman111]

Oh boy. I have some opinions. I played since Base PSO2 dropped. I will try my best to keep my post as short as possible (it's going to be one of those TL;DR posts). I typically don't post like this (as I am just not fussed) but I feel like it appropriate for a different perspective. My current opinion? I have a love/hate relationship with this game right now. I want PSO2NGS to succeed, but it just feels like the devs (IMO) don't want it to succeed because they're always going one step forward and two steps back. Regardless of whether that behavior is due to management (I am leaning towards this), it is irrelevant. Further, it just seems they're still bad with transparency (given how Aelio was if some of you veterans know what I mean). We know that the devs ran into issues (based on what the director said in an interview) with the game. This explained all the filler-type content up until this point, but we didn't know this until around the "Ultra Evolution" "Version 2" update. Why didn't they just come forward with this sooner? I realize that some players are not going to be satisfied no matter what, but the more rational players would understand and have more good will towards the game. Right now, despite about what I am about to say, the game is in a better place, but still has a ways to go. Starting with 2021 (largely because this is when the trend started but we wouldn't see this 'til near Kvrais if not Stia), alot of the game's lifespan was alot of 1 step forward two steps back. Aelio was not a great launch, but Retem expansion was an improvement (though the bar wasn't particularly high). From there, we have the Evolcoat weapons which were fine, but the painful potential upgrade for the weapons requiring a large amount of Photon Scales with such a small supply. Next up, the Seasonal Events. The events were fine for the first few runs, but Sega started to over-relying on them to fill content droughts. The Season events were also used to fix problems with resource issues they themselves overlooked (such as the Photon Scales which evolved into Blizzardium and then Infernium later on). Then we have time-gating. The time-gating wouldn't be so bad if we didn't have trade-ins that were also time-gated. The resources we traded in were time gated, but the exchanges were also time gated (trade x amount of item to obtain y amount of item per day/week/month etc). I remember being called "silly" for pointing this behavior out in a discord group (which I promptly left). Now we move on to 2022. The Stella Graces were really good, but then they gated the amount you could get (30 at max). While I understand why they did it, it doesn't make it any less annoying as that was one of few sources of things we had to do at the time. In Retem we got the Relic series weapons whose drop rates were lower than what most expected, and the playerbase was disappointed by it (but still leagues better than the RNG in PSO1 if anyone remembers that). The Dark Falz Encounter (Dark Falz Interception) was amazing - I initially thought this was the start of something good (no not really). When we got the Mission Pass, it was good because we had other rewards to work towards, but the prizes were not good. To Sega's credit, the Mission Pass (I am not a fan of Mission Passes) is the most player-friendly Mission pass I've seen to this point; you can buy the Gold "premium" track with SG at a reasonable price (not costing you an arm and leg). Premium users got the Gold track for free when they have a Premium subscription. Geometric Labyrinth was a flop due to reason I mentioned earlier - one step forward two steps back. The idea itself was good, but the idea implementation was bad. They intended it to be party content, but alot of folks soloed it with it being too punishing along with bad rewards. Geo Lab involved going through 6 or so floors fighting the Ikusa Bujin at the end who could one-shot you (guess what too bad get out and start from Floor 1 if you died and you only get one chance). At the time there was no queue for it either - you had to get a premade group which I did not have at the time as my guild was somewhat inactive and understandably so.

[@protoman111]

While still in 2022, we have Kvaris was really mid. The story was not good, the areas were cool, the boarding mechanics were mid to bad, and Kvaris was more of the same of what we had (like Keroppi mentioned combat zones triggers same boss structure UQ structure etc.). Rayjord Gorge cool, but the barrier to entry was kind of annoying even with food buffs (which required most players to sacrifice potency or grind really hard to get the Decold Might/Precision/Technique capsules). Then we had the Kaizaar weapon series trade-in which was a mess. The idea of the trade-in itself was good, but the implementation was (yet again) bad. The trade-in shop for the Kaizaar series was locked behind a series quests and one that required you to find and defeat Equalizer (it was either that or enhanced enemies the ones with the bit stuck to giving them a "shield" making your attacks do way less damage). This quest resulted in many players either taking a very long time to complete, or the players straight-up never being able to complete it as it required you to find the Equalizer enemies in Kvaris (Equalizer enemies in other regions didn't count). It was so bad, Sega rebalanced the quest so any Equalizer enemy from any region could be used (people started running Retem Mining Rig Defense as it had guaranteed Equalizing enemies in it). Beyond that the trade itself was fine as it required a fully Enhanced Rokz + 900 Icicle Orbs + 60 Icicle Cubs (only obtained from Ancients in Rayjord Gorge) + 150 Blizzardium. Note that this was super grindy because the preceding quest to unlock the trade-shop plus the grind for the materials and Blizzardium. Blizzardium was super hard to come by (unless you farmed a particular Emergency Quest that spawned boxes with a gigantic air craft above). This was later helped by the Seasonal Event (but again Sega using the event to correct an oversight on their part though I thought they learned this lesson with the Photon Scales). The grind should have been getting the materials, not unlocking the shop to even get the exchange to start with. To cut this short, I am not commenting on the Waker, and Cannonball variants, and other things because they were not noteworthy for me. or I did not have an opinion/knowledge of in the case of Waker. Finally, to cap off 2022, we have Stia. This was a good expansion as the story was good, the characters had more depth to them. Grinding for the weapons required Internium and Sega learned from Kvaris so you could grind Infernium from exploration sectors from Recon Gigantix; this grind was more fair and balanced. Now to 2023 (if you're still reading thank you so much for sticking with me ). Keroppi covered how I felt on Dark Falz Aegis (Battle of Halpha Lake UQ). I didn't care for the collabs and scratch stuff (and etc). As for the Giant Mutants, those were pretty much meh. You could skip this and literally not miss anything (as Dread Keeper IV's are being present in the Seasonal Event shops and later on in the Genesis Points shop later on). The Slayer drop was fun. I more interested in the way you can combine PA's and do different PA combos (based on when you're pushing a direction during a PA or not pushing a direction similar to how Fighter is and how Luster was). Keep your eyes on the absolute mad lads pushing the Slayer class. In regards to the changes to the rewards for daily and weekly tasks, I am not a fan of it as it forces those who did weeklies (me and some clannies I know) to get less bang for their buck for weeklies, and forces you to play daily. That's good for some, but not for others (those who have no real time to play and are busy with family or work). To me it just looked like Sega was pushing for engagement possibly knowing that engagement was starting to drop off, but that's just my speculation of the matter. As for PSO2NGS "Version 2" (or Ultra Evolution Update as they called it early on)...it was a dumpster fire. I am not going into details because that's another post within itself. Long story short, Sega did a crap job of setting expectations, players got too hype for what they thought we were going to get vs what we actually got. Anyone who says it was strictly only Sega's fault or only the player base's fault is oversimplifying the problem. It gave me vibes from when PSO2NGS first dropped with Sega over-hyping what we were gonna get, tons of people getting on the hype train, then we got a trainwreck of a game. Unrelated, I remember players asking for creative spaces early on in PSO2NGS's life cycle and creative spaces is pretty much it. The problem is the way it was presented and the way it was dropped complete overshadowed by bad sentiment from the community. My feelings for Leciel Exploration: it's okay but has its problems. The quest largely relies on the party being competent. The problem I have is if you want the best chances to get Growthment and Augments, you need to full clear; otherwise, you're wasting your time. While yes you can solo it, it inherently is slower vs it being a competency check in a public group (even if the quest scales). For the "Ultra Hard Content" I feel it's something that Duel Quests should have been. While I have my own gripes with it, I will give it a more nuanced opinion once I run it. Currently I just find it to be another DPS Check/Gear Check as opposed to "Ultra Hard Content" (sure it has mechanics but so did Dark Falz Aegis, Dark Falz Interception, Nex Aelios Renus Retem, Nils Stia, and etc). I will give it credit for it finally being something those who have optimized the crap out of their gear to run to give them a proper challenge. If you made it this far, thank you so much for reading. I have so much more stuff I want to cover, but it's way beyond the scope of a KZbin Video comments section.

[@aToxicJester]

Though it might upset the current player base, I feel like pvp content could help this game in a big way. Making it balanced wouldn't even be difficult. Just make a separation of potency between pve and pvp. (Ideally gear related combat) you'd need to invest in pvp gear to actually deal damage. It would artificially create a new grind and provide us with a competitive game mode.

[@ShiroCh_ID]

been playing ngs since october 2021, ive been dead tired and burnt out not to mention all my friends already left the game makes me feels lonely(even though i had a good alliance and still active) well i think il take some rest until NGS feels "Complete" for now im enjoying my time in PSU Clementine god sometimes i regretted myself not jumping into PSO2 wagon sooner before NGS

Sega stealthily removed the base game from everyone's computers, forcing us to download it as DLC instead, as a vain attempt to diverge attention from the better game and try to force us to play the watered down sequel that everybody is pissed off at. Well, I have downloaded the base game as DLC and haven't touched NGS since I cleared the volcanic area story about a month after it released.

[@jaidoncastaneda8640]

I like the fact we have stuff like leciel and Df solas, but my god i wish there was more even now the game still to me feels nearly empty. Leciel and solas i feel are literally carrying right now and the story i feel could be so much more even though it has been ramping up a bit i miss the giant planet destroyer bosses in the story.

It hasn't gotten worse, but it hasn't gotten better either. It's been consistently been the same level of garbage since launch. That's my stance.

[@icemaiden9534]

*very long comment* it is mostly My experience and Opinions as someone who has been playing the game since Beta * very long comment* mining rig came too late in retems cycle it should have been given at the mid point but it came at the last few weeks and everyone was getting hyped for kvaris so no one cared about retem rig. naderhas concert is good, not as much of a spetical as the ones in base but the tracks are nice and the visuals are pretty. i dont think they knew what they were doing with the story at kvaris, it was so weak that the side quests made for a more interesting story, even if a couple of them were annoying go here and fetch X of this and come back (a lot of players did it once they were told theres actual interesting info in the side quests). sega attepted to break away form the cycle they created with relic when they announced the kaizer, get icecicle orbs from frozen crates- prep to go into gorge- fight aincent- get cubes, youll also need to gather blizardium - get a rox and upgrad it, this process took soo long many players were done with it, a weak srory for the region, mostly momotonus side quests (even though they had the heal story) and getting blnd sided by the rugged weapons, people peaced out. PSO2 10 anni was a decent event it did give us lots of things, however it didnt really fix a lot of the issued players had with the game overall, lot of base players were waiting for a summoner class and were disapointed when waker released as it removed a lot of the things summoner had, waker is a decent class takes a bit of learning to understand how the class works but thats no different then say a bow braver, i enjoyed waker i have it as a sub on one of my characters. i enjoy the canonball quests there differnet form most of the other trianier and a lot of fun, the seasonal event was prety much what players had come to expect from these events, marked enemies, a strong weapon against them, capsules, gems, an LTQ. the holo love scratch irritated a lot of players as we couldnt mix the colab itens with anything as they were setwere, then we got the melty blood scratch and couldnt change the colours on the outfits, the aina/manon trials, pse fortes and pse encore were a good call. the overloard scratch was a good scratch, even if again much of it was set were at least we got cool emotes and acessories. stia was soo hype, the teaser we got of the story enticing and it really felt like the writing team were working with an actual direction for a change, the region itself is great, recon gigantis, the seasonal even was pretty much the same as most seasonal events but some how it just felt better planned, weather that was the effects of stia being a bit hit or not i dont know, loved nusean plant its was a refreashing change, the nijisanji concernt were worth the 5 minutes for the star gems, the outfits were soo much better then the other colabs and splitting the base and the outter on most of the outfits was nice. oh the neos weapons yes got me farming, the event was cool the mutants were fun to take out oh yes slayer is very smooth, very fast and really fun, i love playing slayer i switched my main from braver to slayer, they play soo well, the QoL changes were so much needed, loved the story quest omg thet was so hype and id say it was actual solid content, i did like the duel quests however i didnt like having to get, upgrade and then augment weapon, gear and armor to specifically do a quest that i only ran a dozen times. They gave us creative spaces, needed QoL stuff, the starless, more info on leciel, we got the anni event scratch and hitsugis awakened form and a few other outfts that were easy to get, i did liek this set of creator collection scratches the outfors were really nice, i love the the leciel quest is a step in the right direction and now everyone is working towards DF solaus, i actually love leciel and DFS, ther fixa upgrade system has been soo needed, the UfaW scratch has some good camos and emotes. i have loved NGS from launch and i was starting to give up gonig into kvaris, then sega started going into the right direction with stia and onwards. lets us all hope that they continue to improve and give the players a good anf fun game that will keep them playing.

[@Venom.02]

Ngs hasn’t become a better game, the game is good but it will not hold it’s own. I agree from opening game till now it’s way.. better, but ngs still doesn’t have no content, do to sega slow as a slug. I get it if there a dry season. But your timegated by ticket this ticket that as of now. It’s pretty much pay to win game. Rng is rigged loot is rigged. Class, fashion’s, equipment and augments everything else is rig. We haven’t reach end game contents what so ever, we don’t have a complete vanilla ngs that is complete. Let’s not get into that. Combat area’s needs work. Mod’s, puzzle, boss battle needs improvement. Main story mission’s needs co op do to this game you have to cooperate and battle with groups, this is not play with your self, you see alliances or groups that’s how the game should be, but is a co op game. I would understand if there’s solo players cool, but that should be a choice to play solo. but this game should be specially ngs made to work together as a group. There’s no real goal. There missing feature’s. There a lot missing . Like colorblinds mode and other things. Sega needs to multitask more and speed up there development work and get there game runing better no half as, if not thing’s will go down, ngs will go down. As much I’d would like to be positive, but I’m realistic, I don’t feed on people bs. Sega needs learn how to do better because I get it it’s a free game but you don’t see genshin impact or other games, like ngs getaway with bout anything because the player’s let them. you don’t see that in other games. They need improvement’s on difficulty from story, areas also tasks ect. I don’t think sega delivered LC well, I understand they made it very well, however the build great cool but they didn’t fix any of the problems. It goes back to the market and people start’s from zero and up. But yes we have better flavors but being optimistic doesn’t cut out the fact it still bland and a bitter taste’s. But hopefully sega improves and start wrapping things up and work faster.

[@chrisedwards5995]

Yeah I definitely been watching your videos from the start to be honest if it wasn't for you getting me through those slow times I probably would have quit the game a long time ago thank you so much for keeping the game afloat in my opinion ❤❤❤❤

[@theoaremevano3227]

Solus's release schedule is a big problem for it. This may go unnoticed in the hardcore bubble, where people rushing to grind out gear in Leciel in a week and having a fully geared team ready is normal, but having people rushing to get into Solus didn't give Leciel room to breathe on its own, and sucked a lot of higher geared players out of the mode early, leaving those grinding at a more average pace with a much tougher and slower grind than they should have had. The growthment exchange doesn't have anything major for those players to come back for, and the need to RUSH and get the grind done faster resulted in a lot of insulated groups forming, which locks other players out. Leciel REALLY needed to either come out 'on time' in June, or it needed to be announced in advance and have Solus pushed back on its release to give it more space. In general, games like NGS seem to suffer most from two big problems outside of the general factor of greed and business: Not understanding that, yes, games are tough to build from the start, and being designed around both immediacy and grinding at the same time. A lot of companies these days are expressing 'oh, it's so hard to make games guys' when getting backlash, and the thing is, we know. That's absolutely true. Fans agree on that, they just want companies to understand that from the beginning of development, not halfway into a botched release. As for the focus on content, designing content to draw attention in the short term, yet trying to slow players down with long grinds is completely contradictory. Even if you know for a fact that you're planning to release a game patch by patch like this, you still need a long term plan for how it can grow as a complete experience, or it'll suffer from all these same problems. You need to be willing to go back and fix things too, even if it means admitting to a mistake somewhere. People expect mistakes in a live service game. Fixing it is better than pretending it was fine.

I see all these complaints in the comments. I will say that just being able to log in, kill some stuff, work on creative spaces, play around with the character creator and hang out with friends is fun to me personally. I'll also say I know the game is nowhere near perfect. I've also been playing NGS since release so I've seen how far its come from Red Box searching and Gigantix as its main source of content. It can still definitely use a lot of work but its still a decent game to just jump into if you need that quick fix of anime/sci-fi. Leciel is a good step in the right direction as well as all the QoL fixes.

[@AverageGamerXP]

The only thing NGS did right was character customization everything else inside the game is the same recycled content that has been shifted around and packaged differently to appear new besides a few isolated events.

@texasandpacific610 your armors should be just over the 61 lvl for the 6th Aug slots. I wouldn't upgrade the armor further than that before the weapons. So you can upgrade the epidze for the other slots. Then upgrade your weapon to get over the BP threshold

[@TripleDipped2]

I used to enjoy your content, but you just keep acting like what Sega has done with ngs has been good. None of ngs has been good, it's a 1000% downgrade from base games content. Stop trying to downplay how bad the game actually is, Sega needs to know and understand that this game game just isn't it. I understand staying positive for your content, but Sega feeds off of creator content like yours. This game is still a massive dumpster fire in a lot of places. Praising devs for re releasing content that was already in a game from 10 years ago is pretty insane too. Sad to see how far phantasy star has fallen.

[@PharCry]

Don't forget our base game brothers and sisters we lost because players (even to this day) cannot access the base game until they go through the NGS tutorial. So if their system couldn't handle it, they were/are screwed. Some other context to keep in mind: this game was released almost *two years* before it should have. Blame those behind publishing. The developers were playing catch up as best they could, like it or not. I find it very odd that so many have forgotten the headline where they publicly admitted to the rushed release and that they screwed up, and apologized. Feels like people either have selective hearing or just don't pay attention unless it's something they can be mad/upset about. Ver 2 expectations were way too high. I was fine with it. This is a problem on the user's end, period. And see where we are now? Things are progressing with each update. The game is in a solid spot, especially for new/returning players (indicative of a very premature initial release).

Leceil is a step in the right direction for sure. Rewards are nice. Being penalized because you can't find people to play with, and random crews are full of people that fly around without sense in spite of people laying out what needs to be done for the round before even starting? Not so nice. At this point the biggest L in NGS is the community. Notice that a lot of the people complaining about activity are generally a part of the issue. In my Ship there is this one guy that is just famous for sitting in Central City. New UQ comes out? Still sitting in Central City. Leceil comes out. Still sitting in Central City. Same guy talks and acts like he is above it all, yet will complain about activity in the same breath. Once in a blue moon he actually does something, but then its right back to it.

[@AverageGamerXP]

I don't understand how you make guns boring? Do you understand how hard you'd have to try (or how little) to make Gunner the most boring class in the entire game? Gunner being the most boring class to play has to be intentional. I don't understand why guns have photon energy incorporated into weapons that shoot bullets????? I wish I could understand the logic behind the development team in so many aspects there is no way anyone at Sega is actually playing their game for any amount of time.

[@jonishitani732]

New genesis could’ve been a great game but what ruined it was they were trying to be something they shouldn’t. Pso to pso2 both utilized incredible gameplay you were grid locked in a area but you don’t need a open world to have fun. Psu is where it all ended for loot hunting tbh. The party would have a mission they would not stop until they get some drops. Any garbage loot was used to make meseta. In pso2 is where it just sucked you’d be in a 12/12 party bad batch using no weak bullet you’d suffer for several minutes which you lose precious exp and possible loot. When new genesis came out I expected nothing. And I was right it had 0 expectations and it didn’t matter. It was quite obvious to me that sega has completely gave up and created a dress me up game.I understand their motive but all they did was reskin pso2 into a open world.

And with Universe it was even worse, we got barebones content drops months after the Japanese servers. NGS will one day be an incredible game.

[@GHOSTTEAM-po4dw]

Yeah the game as changed a little bit but it’s very small changes not big ones that I ben looking for out of NGS as a normal player there’s still nothing in the story that makes me want to play the story and there’s really nothing in the main game side of things that makes me want to play more then I’m doing now but there’s still a lot of areas that the game sucks in like the story all the parts of the story sucked but one part and it was when we finally got to go to the floating base in the sky and fight boss Z that’s what I call him anyways lord Z and get to see the starless come in but that’s were the story should have started when NGS come out that part of the story did more and better explain and gave us more information and answers that we had as old players from base PSO2 than the other content ever did and I loved the boss story of Z and the fight i still like it but i still don’t like the rest of the characters they still just feel boring and pointless to me still feel like watching and hearing a really really god off fall movie that you are forced to watch that’s just how the hole storylines but one part feels like as for the LD QUEST man i wish they didn’t raise the Bp for it so everyone could have access to it and everyone could get geared up at the same time and everyone could take on the new challenge boss at the same time plus doing it this way would have help a lot people who are behind i think increasing the bp this early was a mistake i think they should have done this with a rank 2 LD quest instead of what they have doing but i still want to see the BATTLE POWER removed and go back to character level i still hate the bp crap and that’s not going to change going forward that’s one of the things that i don’t mess with and i try to skip as much as possible and it’s one of the reason why I focus more on the character items for the looks because I don’t like the bp setup or the % damage setup that NGS as gone with i have said it before in the past that these setups demotivate me in NGS and it’s the same for every other game using the same setup for upgrading i don’t have any real interest in the NGS upgrade setup and its ben this way since NGS come out but I didn’t have that problem in the base game the problem i had in the base game was with the upgrade system cost was too high for upgrading and the player market was over priced and problems getting some of the augments and some difficulty problems with some of the boss at times and some drop rate problems for some things but that’s really the only problems I had out of the base game i loved everything else about base PSO2 and the system they used still one my favorite battles to this day was fighting in space with the shive UQ and the gold boss fight in space which was said lee only a LTQ back then and it never came back i loved that fight im reminded of the fight even now good times but they still have a long ways to go before they can make me play any or most of the main game stuff and story just like right now i don’t care about the story that we just got because its has all the characters that i don’t care about and don’t want to see them or hear them i want nothing to do with them we need episode 4 and episode 5 and episode 6 level when it comes to story in NGS not what we keep getting for stories they just suck bad good video ker but recap of the past to were we are now i would say it’s okay it still needs to be a hole lot better now to mess with Kerr just a little bit for fun I’ll give you on this a 5 out 10 man have good day man

i'm still very upset and disappointed by "2.0" in which the game is nowhere worthy to be called 2.0 if all they have is half assed the sims mode with gacha furnitures. and i see it's still like that. i see no improvement in core mechanics or worthy addition to main gameplay for us to call it 2.0 for real. this unoptimized, bloat budgeted, unfinished game needs way more than "new quest worthy to be called 2.0" and "creative space as the centerpiece of 2.0". even mobile game feels better to play than this crap... and i used to love pso2 and ngs.

Yea now there is content but we waiting too long for it, the game is struggling with playerbase, they released to console and i was expecting to like grow even motivate people on pc to comeback but wasnt the case, we dont see any marketing from Sega, they expecting players to find this game how?, the game has no decent events for what i been told cause is stopped playing way before new zone was released but what i experienced and been told its just recycle events, so i dont understand how this team thinks the game is improving when they cant take 5-10minutes to get an ideia for an event, its like i want to comeback but its too late there is so much i lost and so much to do, that simply demotivates me to play it, the game Needs Marketting and a BIG Event, fck sake bring streamers and youtubers to marketting it cause since Sega dont have popularity no more atleast you guys have, and that event would be to bring new players and former one and gift them with gear and perhaps a event cosmetic, that way they would stick for awhile, until they drop the new content, its like its not need of a big brain to make this work.

I get you are trying to encourage the community qnd everything and fair enough but although it has come a decent way, it started off trash so moving from trash to midish isn't exactly a great feat. Hopefully in like 5 years the game is in a better state that is worthy of peoples time but atm idk why you would play this when there are so many better games out and coming out. They tried to be genshin impact, by having similar movement, braindead combat compared to the original, and an open world, but failed in every way and genshin isn't that great imo anyway. If they stuck to what they were doing right in the first place the game would be better, innovating and making an open world game isn't inherently bad but they shouldn't of released the game until it was in a good state, game has a ton of potential but it'll either take forever to get close to it or will never get there. Doesn't help the community is degenerate and cringe making the game way less approachable

[@xFierceDeityx-wx5nh]

to be honest i miss the old style of phantasy star where it was mission based within a map, Leciels brought that feeling back abit and if we get more content like that it would be nice however, the the situation with solus is so awful there needs to be an adjustment to the Boss fight maybe add like an extra 3 lives and lower the boss hp a little or at least rebalance the damage he does overall. not to mention when you fail solus you just get casted out with no failure rewards like how leciels / Purple triggers do so that makes us feel like we are wasting time. is it really hard to ask for decent content rather than fashion content, there's way too much fashion over actual content which is sad but i mean it is what it is i guess. maybe within a year or two we'll get a starless planet but for now we're stuck with the A.R.K.S Planet. what I want more than anything is a Ground Element like in Phantasy Star Universe Bring back Diga and Gidiga i love Ground Techs pretty much the only element we've been missing for several years. one more thing to add can we please just get a status ailment remover tech I'm tired of being strucked by lighting by that giga boss and constantly getting electrocuted for about 30 seconds which made me fall out of the map a few times.
