Yup, its back. And its not tied to full servers as some who try to make excuses say.
It's just bad, and it kills really nice burst runs.
Remember to do this: FILE A BUG COMPLAINT
Also for crashes.
Also for floor disappearing.
Also for flickering/ screen blackout
Also for hard crashes
Also for title screens becoming corrupted and distorted
sigh 
This system sucks. I just noticed it and hence I'm googling it and came across this thread. In the past if parts didn't look good you can just put them back on the shop. Now your stuck with it.
Cast parts not taking up storage space seems to be the defense of this change - so why not do that with weapon camos? I'm sure you guys wouldn't like that at all. They still take up storage space and we can still sell them if they end up not working out.
Nothing different with cast parts. It's a crap change, full stop.
I'm so bored I can't even do dailies.
I've been gotten so bored at any PSO where I couldn't play it. There was at least something to farm, an enemy that dropped something, etc
But now...
I'm not playing braver. I love scratches like the rest of us, but... That's a few hours tops of dress up, then.. back to the bug filled, empty cities and empty forests.
It's mind boggling how this roll out has been. And one of the worst content maps ever. They are really crazy over there.
And for the love of god can they fix the frigging sound bugs!?? The sampling is busted, I can't run this game through my stereo because it sounds horrible. But nothing has grinded my gears more than the sound delay. Since day one when you land that awful landing sound plays well after you hit the ground. Insanity. Busted shops. Crashing. Texture wackiness.
Wtf are they doing over there!?????
Going to play Genshin. I love PSO but man they are screwing the pooch.
It's just rng ...plenty of Magnus runs, nothing. On two ships. Nada x 0
@kztm I haven't seen a single one drop, and I play daily.
Just gonna buy from the shop, it's ridiculous.
The only thing I'm doing right now is getting my three characters to 20 because I don't like switching classes. Otherwise we all know there's nothing to do besides gigantix.
Sega seems to be trying to do exactly what they did with old pso2, that seems more than likely with Japanese devs being pretty hard-headed until the sky falls.
They are watching the numbers for sure and will adjust when too many players are inactive. But somehow some way they have to get the message that their content calendar is just too light.
The other hand I do appreciate not having to play this everyday, because Lord have mercy there's a ton of other amazing games that need to be played and finished.
End of the day, yeah there's no content here and as much as I love running around in sweet 60 frames per section action, we still actually need something to do besides going to salon.
Also upgrading your weapons and items is so bloody expensive it's just stupid. And these are all four star items like come on... I'm sticking with my PSO 215 star weapons for now because this is just not worth it especially if you don't have a shop.
I don't understand why tecther is so bloody weak. Using the wand takes a million hits to kill anything. Pretty sure the devs saw that locking shifter to them is the only way you can get people to play it. Locking shifta to one class and as a main only skill was a trash move.
I have a techter sub to be able to use the wand, but right now the one is just lame and underpowered compared to the awesomeness that is the new talis. WOW did the Talis get an upgrade...it's bloody amazing!!
Wouldn't work for players like me. Logging into PSO2 is super crash-tastic. I can't log into it directly I have to go in through NGS and it's still crashes 80% of the time.
All the work that they put into building this bridge, it's been pretty much a disaster for me. Not to mention changing of the buttons so that b is the confirm button. Just mattingly unnecessary and ridiculous.
Fighters are great. AWESOME, actually.
But twin daggers...i dunno. Was immediately unimpressed.
Being that they were the absolute worst weapons in PSO2, I was hoping they would regain their past glory.
Nope....Whatcha'll think?
IMHO The approach to twin daggers just needs a total overhaul, its like they were desperately trying to keep to the concept (while going NUTS with wired lance, wtf wow wat) but cant help making it a totally in your face style with no substance, while leaving you wicked open to damage.
Again these are first impressions, but literally everything else is pretty good if not great, except for these...yikes.
I posted this previously to no avail, it seems others are having issues with distribution from present-related requirements as well.
I have done at least 20 of the presents and this never activated. ALL other ark appreciation promotions have been received thus far.
Yes this ended on 4/21, it lasted roughly 5 weeks. And nothing.
