I agree with this thread. NGS is a complete joke, huge delays when it was supposed to launch, huge lag and server issues when it actualy launched, then the lack of content with some stupid lackluster of a roadmap that should have been implemented in launch.

Also removal of Shop access for free players, now you are extremely limited in terms of making meseta, and things in the shop, whether cosmetics or good gear have astronomical prices because of the greedy whales.

There are other things in my opinion that break the game, such as the broken PSE burst mechanics which are extremely annoyingly RNG, the rare drop that drop completely rare, and getting gear drop with good FIXA is complete RNG, no proper incentive way to actualy gain good gear.

The NGS update to the base PSO2 fashion should have been free, as others said players worked hard to get that fashion, like slowly upgrading them to suit the NGS graphics.

This game has been released on an unfinished state, not that it is buggy or anything, It's the fact that it is pretty much beta in terms of lack of content, the game should have been taken more 3 to 4 months in development so it could be released with proper content; Actual good AC scratches, with bouncer and braver classes available at the start, and multiple regions available and not just Aeilo, and really content that would make the player actualy entertained to play, so It's purpose is not only just to run those dailies or weeklies and then log-off because there is nothing to do.

Other than that, this thread really just convinced me not to play this game untill the game will have more content, I wanted to finish perfecting my gear upgrades, but nah It's a waste of energy.

I'm very dissapointed with this terrible AC scratch because it adds NOTHING, It's just more random generic waifu female set costumes, NOTHING new and innovative for male characters.

Seriously, the lack of NGS content is immensingly dissapointing.

Also nice Costumes, instead of separating it into different parts like Basewear, outerwear and innerwear, they are one single item instead, SEGA is really lazy with their design.

@Cerisa Thanks, I feel reassured.

So, I bought the Gigantix 4 star rarity sword weapon.

I used to have an Resurgir weapon upgraded to level 32 already, and unlocked It's potential to level 2, with 3 affixes installed. However, I thought the Gigantix weapon series of the sword would be an upgrade because it seems to have gradualy bigger damage.

I used my Resurgir to boost up my Gigantix weapon sword up to level 38, installed affixes into it and got It's potential to level 2, however the difference is that the potential of this weapon gives -10% damage reduction (Which makes you receive more damage, a horrible trade with the Resurgir IMO), which compared to the Resurgir I had that gave extra critical rate for dodging an attack on It's potential upgrades.

Yeah... I'm not rich with Meseta either... I know some people already have multiple classes at level 20 and have like 8 weapons upgraded to level 40. But seriously, aside from the market and pay2win players, how do y'all manage to get upgrades, good gear and meseta quickly? I'm mostly limited in weeklies and farming those Yellow reactors thingys (Which can be get from the event charcter), but still not so much meseta...

I apologize for the poor quality.

Till you look at the prices those whales put in the markets, so much newcomer friendly with all those greedy marketers, they are the reason the game economy gets ruined.

I am not willing to pay 2 million meseta just for a haircut or an accessory, be realistic with the damn prices you greedy bastard.

As the title says, but I have an idea to actualy give them their own weapons to use, rather than reusing already existing weapons and modifying their photon arts.

Phantom

Make it like in the base PSO2: Quick, fast, maneuverable but lacks armor. Class main role would be curing status aliments inflicted by enemy and inflicting status alliments on enemies.

The new weapon I suggest for this class would a Scythe. The Scythe weapon is not the Rod, it will have It's own Photon arts, and can also use Techniques, primarily focus on close to medium combat. The weapon can parry, which will cure all status aliments on the player, and counter dodge which will able to initiate an counter attack that will inflict status aliment on enemy (Depending on the element used).

The second weapon of this class would be an Sniper rifle. Not to be confused with the Assault rifle for the Ranger class, this weapon would instead be more like the Assault rifle of the Phantom class in base PSO2. Default attack will fire single, very powerful shot, weapon specialisation would be summoning and controling small drones, and delivering slow, heavy blows from range. Good positioning should be they of mastery of this weapon. Can parry (Perfect parry only, just like the Twin Daggers).

Etoile

Pretty much like in Base PSO2, heavy protection, healing passive and etc. Class role would be to provide defense/protection to teammates by giving them defensive boosts.

The class weapon would be an Axe. Primarily focused on close combat, can also parry while in the middle of a photon art, specialised on heavy blows up-close and personal. Can counterdodge for a stronger attack.

Saber sword. Not the sword that the Hunter uses or the Katana that the braver would use. The default attack would be quick and deal multiple hits. Specialises in manupulating gravity, creating small blackholes for Area damage or pull a group of enemies in single point and summoning small blads in air for ranged attacks. Guard stance would summon a bubble shield as long as you hold it (Only for a limited time though), just like in base PSO2, unloading all focus will create a powerfull attack. Counterdodge for a stronger attack.

NOTE: This is just my ideas, I'm not sure how SEGA would deliver those new classes, but I atleast hope they would return, but with their own weapons without making other classes obselete because they use the same weapons with altered abilites.

Yeah, thats my same complaint here, I want to multiweapon weapons that the same camo can fit both of weapons, but unable to do so because of this bug.

I think I should mostly focus on the combat here.

I miss the old PSO2's flashy and fast paced combat, not gonna lie. The combat in NGS feels like a chore, charging some of the attacks (I mainly play sword since it is the closest to braver) takes forever, and deal very little damage.

The enemies feels like complete bullet sponges and upredictable attack moves, I just dont like this direction they are taking regarding the enemies and the way to combat them. In PSO2 when I started, even with low level gear the combat felt fast paced and the enemies did not feel like bullet sponges. Also you could easily read the enemy attack moves to initiate a perfect parry move or a dodge, without an entirely random attack coming outta nowhere sending you flying, especialy with how the NPC enemy bosses are designed that way. Sending your character flying constantly because there is lack of ways to read their attacks is infuriating at best.

Now, aside from the clunky combat that NGS has, I gotta point out the general lack of areas to explore, lack of random encounters and how generaly exploring the sectors feels like a chore.

In base PSO2 when you are on an expedition, you would get those "Emergency, code: Random mission" as an random encounter, in NGS you are mostly forced to follow random locations the game tells you to go to complete the objective, this kinda ruins the whole purpose of an open world game when you are forced to go to certain locations either way, and chase after PSE bursts.

My final hope for this game is that SEGA is atleast going to bring all of the old base PSO2 elements into NGS, what made PSO2 so lovable and addictive to me before NGS was launched.

@Chantro So just because I am shorter I am less capable for combat? Thank O lord of discrimination, I appreciate your discriminating imput.
