[PSO2:NGS] Masquerade is Finally Here!

[@jacopomalatesta4913]

This is not omega masquerade, this is his chill and unaggresive brother Homero Masquèz that likes to occasionally summon ground beef from the floor

[@RedSpiderZero]

"Somehow... Masquerader has returned.... to Halpha... for some, Uh.. reason. Uh, so yeah"

[@remakotoyuki90]

for hollydays.

[@matty4z]

he has returned.... with the Milk! XD

[@DenilsondeSouzaSantana]

I can't say.... Maybe I'm an "uncle of PSO2 Base", but this NG version of Masquerade didn't seem too difficult to me. Because when I faced it for the first time, in PSO2 Base I spent I think 2 months trying, even with the best equipment I had at the time! Maybe in NG after Level 20, it can bring some challenge. But I still prefer the PSO2 Base setting, because it looks like a graveyard there and the environment matches the boss 😅

[@remakotoyuki90]

is less aggressive at lv 1 to 30, like for base more level yo go futher and more aggressive is.

[@SuperCocoKiller]

and thats why pso2 base is still better than NGS

[@spark9189]

the first 30 fights are the warm up

[@suikabocha]

NGS can never compare to base's gameplay depth and difficulty sadly, even on starter depths for masq on base game, his movesets were already fast

[@joeresio]

@@spark9189that’s exactly the problem right there.. you settled to allow fighting 30 times just for a warmup. Tsk tsk tsk.

[@Vell-aah]

man, Sega really fumbled PSO2 by ditching the base game to work on NG especially after making the game global and getting so many people into the base game only to throw it all away for a watered down version months later smh

[@mramisuzuki6962]

This is what Japan wants.

[@gensorensa]

NGS Masquerade feel less aggressive than Base Masquerade for me Even on the first floor

[@victornguyen1175]

It's like the team doesn't even understand why people liked this type of content in the first place. They don't know what to add to NGS and why it's not working, so they just throw something in that *looks* like content people used to like without understanding its place in the gameplay loop.

[@ACLMSC]

Agreed

[@thenexusmiind]

I agree as well!

[@xblyra]

Somehow everything that Sega releases in NGS nowadays all seems unimpressive, they always take the lazy route of copying stuff from base most of the time, the only recent time I remember them doing something creative was with the Elemental damage UQ (and even that is a stretch and gets old quickly), otherwise it's always, slap this guy till he dies kinda thing lol They should bring back some variety... being in Aelio, Retem, Kvaris and Stia is getting super old, including the digital land of yellows and purples

[@ganymede4030]

While true, people for the longest time bitched and moaned about bringing stuff back from base PSO2 and when they finally started to do that people decided that's not what they wanted. The devs can't win in this instance.

[@thenexusmiind]

Uhhhh how about the "Devs" develop something new?

[@dwiputra6183]

Honestly I don't even care about how Masq is more weak or slower in NGS, but what makes me irk is Sega always just suddenly drop new enemy (new here I mean also an enemy from base game) without a little story explanation. They could just put a lore for new enemies so that players can feel the depth of the enemy their facing. If this is not lazy than I don't know what to call Sega anymore... Sheeeessshhhh no hope for NGS 😮‍💨

[@monta6628]

to be fair ngs masqurate feels easier by alot because boss often idle between attack unlike base pso2

[@ldptdogbone9334]

Glad to see this channel is still going strong years later. I watched a lot when NGS first launched for the first year and half. I haven’t played since Stia released. Is there any chance you would ever look at doing a refresher update video for returning players? Or do you already have something along those lines? Like augments look wild now, before everyone was just worrying about dread keeper lvl 4’s etc. I used to get into the leaderboards every week too for the special challenges on server 3 so mechanics weren’t an issue but knowing where the meta is at is overwhelming with all these changes and catching up I need to do.

[@ldptdogbone9334]

The numbers people are churning out are also wild, I remember 50k max hit used to be peak now it looks like your average crit

[@taetaeclark09]

If this is really how the masquerade fight is, it makes 1000x more sense to just go fight him in base PSO again. Better music, better paced gameplay, better stage environment, better animations, etc.

[@KafuuCapuccino]

Based.

[@LillipanFran]

I cleared all 40 floors when it came out. 0 deaths, so it's not too difficult to clear, but I am looking forward to the later depths. ^^

[@raishijtenobles3103]

Really like how we get Duel and new DP capsules from the fight.

[@dioscarloscar]

and aegis integra finally

[@TheJinj1993]

​@@dioscarloscarIntegra dropped from Zephetto Duel too

[@TheJinj1993]

He's alright until about 20... Then he starts mixing things up, his patterns become more erratic

[@joeresio]

lol same old bs loot

[@jimjones-zx8ih]

Lol

[@danteshollowedgrounds]

Not really it's actually quite different 😅👌 you'd be surprised to be fair.

[@joeresio]

@@danteshollowedgroundsoh… must have been my poor RNG talking.

[@danteshollowedgrounds]

@joeresio maybe lol

[@INAMELESSKINGI]

Its to ezy got the lv 40 its clown of base

[@Sation50]

The boss music is pretty cool.

[@generaljive]

The PA immunity thing was the best part in base, it made you hsvr to learn the class anf use all the PAs. There aren't enough PAs in ngs to replicate the challenge.

[@OneWingdAnge1]

Sega just wants to drain money from as much people as possible. It's near enough going the same way as dauntless, in terms of content, in fact NGS is worse since they bring old content from base to NGS and saying it's new. While giving us scratches to spend money on a game that's dying fast. Can't even do UQ even with all Ship match making. wake-up people time is precious, and life is short. Sega doesn't respect your time.

[@matty4z]

no sure if its a thing but I noticed that if you deal a but ton of damage at the start of a fight (during the sort of cut scene) with riune Masquerade he will attack waay more aggressively, as if you made him angry for you interrupting his intro for the dual lol XD

[@TheJinj1993]

I did that on purpose... because free damage, knocked a good 8-10% off his bar before he started fighting 😂😂

[@danteshollowedgrounds]

It makes sense why this version of the Masquerade is much slower because we in New Genesis move much slower than like how we did in Base back then so yeah it wouldn't make sense for the Masquerade in NGS to move completely like some dragon ball character nonstop, that would be insane.

[@DenilsondeSouzaSantana]

Ah, but it's fun! Especially at the time of Phaleg! To this day, that woman is scary! In the case of Masquerade, the best part of it is the white version (as far as I remember, it starts at level 500). That there is insane!

[@spark9189]

he's not actually slower comparing footage. less aggressive because of the taunt, but the attacks are the same speed, and he's getting more aggressive at higher levels.

[@DragonClapper1855]

It's a Ruine enemy, so- besides it being a little odd that an imperfect clone of Masquerade was made, makes sense it'll be slower and such.

[@danteshollowedgrounds]

@DragonClapper1855 Yeah, that too exactly I guess.

[@Vex505]

Anyone know what's happened to Kero? Been days since an upload.

[@tea_fran]

Probably because there's not really any content worth uploading for?

[@Angel_69096]

Chat I just started this game last week and just finished the main story. I’m lost what do I do now ????

[@OneWingdAnge1]

Chill in the lobby, Cosplay, spend your time and money more on NGS, grind and grind and grind, hoping for a good drop but rarely ever get what you want cause of the drop rate being rubbish. While waiting for Sega to drop more content. Have fun 😊

[@Angel_69096]

@@OneWingdAnge1 I need friends ppl in game don’t talk much plus idk much still there’s too many menus/shops

[@Tempest525X]

​@@Angel_69096this is a tough question to answer. I do play without friends and Keroppi's guides have helped me understand the game a ton. You joined the game at a good time to gear up. You'll want to focus on the seasonal shop and get the weapons and capsules and tickets from there right now. You can upgrade the weapons and some armors In the shop into the best obtainable gear in game. The rest is capsule and cosmetic farming.

[@Omnikeith1]

so do the new augs do we need them for a new and powerful augs like lux and, GDK II?

[@AnonYoBizness]

OMG this crazy savage dude from OG pso2. I only beat him at Lv1. and it was like a couple hits from KO for me. I wonder if it would be the same.. probably not. They need to add that Blonde chick who i have not beaten TILL THIS DAY (deonte wilder voice) Pheos or something.

[@HeyImKeelee]

Phaleg was a MENACE! I still haven't beaten her either lol

[@AnonYoBizness]

@@HeyImKeelee The True PSO final boss LOL

[@loversnightmareftk276]

Think imma stay in my hiatus. Not impressed. Thanks for your continued coverage Kero!

[@DenilsondeSouzaSantana]

I think I'm going to make this NG boss just complete the title! I still prefer the Masquerade of PSO2 Base.... Because of the atmosphere of the scenery that looks like a cemetery, and the look of the boss there!

[@Icu282]

Even the Masq in the story fight of base PSO2 was more aggressive than this. I've actually checked by watching a video of the fight. Like that's not even the challenge mode version. It would be like if they made Phaleg return and somehow she was easier than her final story battle.

[@Samuraider420]

What ship are you playing on?

[@terrencemorris696]

I want to battle him so badly! Revenge is gonna be sweet

[@nunnyabuisness8777]

Its back recycled content from base pso. with the same rewards that less than 1% of the player base will even do. Amazing.....

[@LeonMagnus-if7vn]

Masquerade in base PSO2 - "Holy shxt, this boss is awesome!" Masquerade in NGS - "Holy fxxk, this boss is a$$!"

[@danteshollowedgrounds]

Nice rage bait mate, you're goofy. Edit: Did you get all the rewards yet??? 👀👁👁👁

The animations look awkward for some reason, still not enough to bring me back.

[@NeoSlashott]

Anbu-Masq hehehe

[@HoDKenji]

It is fun but Sega failed like I predicted. For farming you need only 1-1. In 2 weeks we get depth 5&6 till 26th of Feb were we get depth 10 and then the update for him for more depths

[@NotKuri]

Pity that the NGS version of my boy is on extreme slow mode. I feel like even similar enemies like Bujin fight you a lot more aggressively. Maybe I'm just disappointed because of how much time I've spent in base pso2 with this guy.

[@INAMELESSKINGI]

Its clown of base ezy 40 rank on 68min the base harder then that i think the clown for the afk plsyer this will be hard on them sadly

[@Rezseby]

Hmm.. Where are you Kero? Taking a break?

Hope everything is alright with you Kero

Hmm somehow feels like a carbon copy of the one from base PSO2 good thing Im still occupied playing HSR now

Ran out of mid NGS content to upload?

[@DonchiTreezy]

Hope your OK kero

[@adamdevereaux2713]

I find it interestin’, readin’ people’s opinions… Masquerade was never difficult to me, until da end of da depths. To keep it a buck, PSO has never REALLY been difficult for me, so I guess my perspective is different. It was fun. Which is what matters most to me.

[@seymourcarson]

I mean if you’ve played any souls game at all NGS boss fights are like a kids game 😂 Definitely for fun I agree.

[@trytos]

It's official games dead 😂😂... Sega better do something.. I just spent so much ac lol and got nothing 🙃...

[@dennisattah5484]

Hope all is well with you. Your videos are missed.

[@danteshollowedgrounds]

A lot of Base or old cringey players just hating on stuff like usual but I don't care, I like some of the changes and it's nice that it's not completely like Base PSO2's Masquerade Boss because well in New Genesis it simply couldn't be, our combat in NGS isn't made like it was back in Base and so forth but it was nice at least... Hoping and wishing for better yeah of course always but this was nice at least as I can say personally... The rest I cannot unfortunately, that is up to them and so bet it.

[@INAMELESSKINGI]

Yup for clown player like clown boss and afk boss

[@spark9189]

everybody complaining, beat depth 4 rank 10 first

[@YaMizu]

It's nothing much tbf... I don't even see much difference from level 1. And the freaking acc swinging everywhere just isn't worth it, why didn't they make it camo lmao
