After PC release this game has performed almost poorly on Xbox. I'm rolling an Xbox One X and I get frame rate issues and character data not loading in blocks. Which seems odd to me since this game running a graphics engine that is over a decade old.

@JuggernautGTX Can't say I ever ran into an Ultimate Quests where someone was just afk the whole time. I'm sure that's an exaggeration. And I do see people die all the time in Ultimates... even those folks with the best gear. They die because they just smash and grab and pay no attention to boss mechanics. So when phase 2 of an Anga fight starts they just stand right next to it and die when the orbs do their rotating beam move. All their precious max dps gear is worthless at that point and their overall dps for the fight drops, likely, down to the level of a scrub who didn't die. Don't forget, half the people in Ultimates either don't bring moons or refuse to revive folks. So during any boss fight you're going to have some of your raid members dead and contributing zero dps to the boss. Having people that pay attention to boss mechanics and are team players is way more valuable than having some geared up players in your group who play like garbage.

I stopped looking at the Astracite exchange a long time ago when I noticed how pointless it was. Sure, you can sell an Elder Rifle for 1.5m but the time required to get the 50 astracite isn't worth the meager payout. Everything else in that exchange is worth the value of an ex-cube or photon sphere... They can remove that shop for all I care.

@JuggernautGTX Oh are we suppose to take this game seriously? I mean I didn't know a game with half-naked anime girls, ridiculous mobs, and an incoherent storyline was a super serious game? Shoot, I thought this was a fun casual game. I mean there isn't any really difficult end game or anything. There's no safety dance type of fights like games of old. There's no way to really wipe on a boss and have to start it over. There's no mystic level difficulty that requires precise coordination among a group of players.... But you're fo' real this is a serious game and requires a greater level of planning than just smash and grab? I don't know if I can believe that...

@Cathy Nothing... tell those peasants to fix there gear and that you don't roll with scrubs. I have zero problems with that. But people pretending like they're not Elitist in the guise of not being able to complete some boss fight is absurd. The argument that they cannot complete some boss fight doesn't hold up in the current state of this game. I just want folks to embrace what they are and not pretend to be something they're not. Embrace yourself as an Elitist Whale! Let's make some memes about it and laugh at the peasants.

@Cathy Yeah? That sounds fun. Maybe in future update this matching making system might matter but right now, as the NA gamer version is, there is no need to worry about who joins your groups. Every player can kill magatsu all 5 times by joining a random pug group, defeat elder, profound, and apprentice. Yamato is a joke also. I mean I've never failed any mission on this game and I have over 1000 hours game time. Because of that, this thread, is amusing to me.

@Cathy Well, I never played the JP version but from what I hear you just buy one Slave and one Nemesis, get some cubes, and you craft your not tradable 15* or something like that. Moreover, it won't even be until Ep5 drops that we're going to get any better weapons then what we currently have now. So really what people are complaining about in this thread is that low geared players are joining their Ultimate Quests where they are farming these weapons and since it's taking a few seconds longer to kill these bosses in the Ultimate Quests the poor sad free players farming for meseta are upset they can't farm as fast.

Is this thread still going? Why? There is nothing in this game that is really difficult; this whining is clearly unwarranted. There has never been any UQ that, as a pug group, I failed in. During every boss fights there's no limit on resurrections, all player can resurrect, there's no game over mechanics that can't be overcome with a half life doll, the time limits a joke most things are dead with three quarters of the time to spare, and nearly all UQ can be solo'd with a properly geared character.

I mean do you guys really lose on boss fights that you want to restrict the people that group with you? God, y'all must suck because I've never had a problem defeating any of these bosses with pugs. Or is this just a forum to express your elitism? I mean if we're just practicing elitism in the guise of 'level completion' I can't get on board with that. Elitism is a shiny star upon itself. You should embrace it and not hide in in false rhetoric. Stand up and shoot, "WHALE and PROUD!"

Y'all wouldn't be complaining about under-geared free players joining your precious UQ, that you're just farming weapons to sale, if you wasn't a broke joke free player yourself. Any decent whale doesn't even care about your dumb UQ because we can just buy the gear from the market. Now we can end this thread! Have a great day.

@Jamesmor said in How's the lag on PC?:

@AgentRedStar that's because coding of games today is different from 8 years ago and consoles aren't exactly well made to adapt to different types of coding so they do suffer with low fps in these kind of situations while a computer won't suffer and there's also the point that PSO2 loads faster when you have high fps

That makes a little more sense. Thank you for your feedback.
