Wow and here i actually, like a fool had some hope this game would improve, but after that interview it is very clear that i am wasting my time. looks like i'll have to give up this game for at least the next year. glad i started playing FFXIV again, so i have at least a competent MMO to keep me busy. This pretty much told me they do not give a shit and focusing only on whales who will just throw money at them.

This hurts man. i had high hopes for this game. Time to move on for me. Just another failed MMO on the pile. if they don't improve anyway (i doubt it)

Wrong.

The very first DLC ever was a Horse with Armour which did nothing else or gave any special stats NOTHING. People payed for that Horse DLC and that was the moment the gaming industrie realized that this kind of monetarization works.

I know i am old....i was there and saw it with my own eyes.

Dlc has been around longer than Oblivion, -.-".

I think what he was getting at it was the first absurd dlc that people were willing to just throw money at without regards to actually thinking and when the game industry saw just how gullible and foolishly people were willing to part with money with very little convincing, it just took off. now we have seasons passes and $20 skins and games shipping with 25% of content with the rest to be sold to you later as MXT because they know you'll pay for it.

@Velveteer

I play as the sega intended - rappies have unique animation for being set on fire so it's clear they want us to burn them.

They react to all elements, actually, try shocking them, it's as if sega knew we would torture them and made it fun to watch.

I feel like these BP numbers are going to become major Epeen material later. 'LOOK AT MY NUMBERS BRO, IT'S HIGHER'

"SCREW YOU! MINE IS HIGHER!!"

and the rest of us just not caring.

Never Mind.

Gotta admit, I was positively surprised.

Ditto, giving things for free from a scratch? i feel like there is a hidden motive though. maybe because people won't let go of their old scratch so easily.

Do we know how long the SG scratch will last in NGS? Maybe to give them a taste to waste their money on SG for more?

After thinking on a more optimistic side they are also encouraging you to log in daily as if it's a good scratch and you don't want to spend SG you could end up with good pay out. and since you can't sell them. nothing to take advantage of.

@BoomBoy said in Is any of the NGS better than end games PSO 2 gear?:

@Astral-Lettie sure, the current content is easy, but this topic asks if the NGS's current end game gear is better than the legacy stuff. The answer is yes. Whether it is worth to grind and spend meseta is up to you.

That was already very quickly answered, the short answer being yes it's slightly better, but not worth the investment if you already had capped gear from PSO2.

and that is just units, depending on your augments weapons may actually still be better.

I expected a topic like this to come up eventually.

Reminder: it's a video game.

@BoomBoy well current BP you need is only 1184, with legacy weapon + units you can go over 1300 easily which is more than enough.

@HarmlessSyan sure 1300 is more than enough but it implies that I'm better geared than those who won't upgrade.

Too bad it means absolutely nothing since the highest current needed is 1184. Anything beyond that is ignored. doesn't matter if you had 1600, you have the same content access to someone who is 1200. The only real difference is you spent far more than them for a slight boost.

It's not just about content access. It tells how strong your current gear is.

Yeah, No one needed a reminder of that, since it doesn't matter. At the current content, everything is dreadfully easy even with legacy gear.
