RE: Gameplay QOL in NGS I'd like to see:

The camera following is a big one. Why does the camera follow you when you use fulcrum swing on the ground... but not in the air? You can literally keep gaining air until the camera doesn't see you. Then it immediately snaps to you and its totally disorienting.

RE: Summer AC scratch with school swimsuit tanlines but not the swimsuit itself

The way they release AC stuff is just weird. They are always different from the JP releases. Why do they do that? This leaves is with incomplete sets of items.

RE: Hair Color and Cast Color should be free.

Free color changes would be great, but I don't think we'll get that. I have a similar idea which I think is more likely to be considered. We should be able to buy colors, and switch between them at any time. And not just for hair or cast color - ANY color, like skin and outfit too.

RE: Fresh finds rerun?

^ based. Some of us never even had the chance to buy those items.

RE: Quality of Life : Immediate Meseta Acquisition

I never really thought of that, but that is a great idea. It would save a load of time in pretty much any quest by not requiring you to run laps around the entire map to pick up all the meseta dropped by mobs.

RE: Star gems and fresh finds - How PSO2NA preys on your wallet

@havox4 Some of us don't want to play on JP servers. Instead of being complacent with greedy tactics on NA, why not protest against them?

RE: Star gems and fresh finds - How PSO2NA preys on your wallet

@Saiyer Well said, but I disagree on one little thing: I am fine with players spending cash on SG on anything but Fresh Finds. I don't know if Sega looks into the statistics of where the populace spends their SG, but in the chance it does, I wouldn't want that percentage to be any higher as that would only keep the system in place.

hope the item enters the rotation again in the next few months...if ever

This is probably the biggest part of my disdain for Fresh Finds - we don't even know if the items will ever come back.

Star gems and fresh finds - How PSO2NA preys on your wallet

The Phantasy Star Fleet discord server states the following in its #na-guides-and-info channel. I am posting this here because the official forums are the best place for our voices to be heard.

Before we can talk about some stuff, we need to talk about Star Gems. Star Gems are an ingame currency obtainable for free through various methods or via real money. In JP, there's an alarmingly large amount of ways to get SG for free. In NA, you get them for costumes (30 a day unless you pay for another character), or S ranking story modes (one time reward). They removed the ability to get SG from the casino in NA because ????.

NA has a "mission pass" to let you get cosmetics and such by playing each week (think battle pass, but half free - You need to pay 200 SG (~$9) once per pass to get the cosmetic rewards). However, the items gained from these mission passes are untradeable/unsellable and the Mission Passes expire after time, which means that the cosmetics from previous mission passes (before PC was added) are 100% unobtainable for PC players.

In addition, NA has something called "Fresh Finds" (If you played JP, it replaces the Treasure Shop - It's similar, but only takes star gems for cosmetics while some other items can be bought with SG or meseta). It has 4 cosmetic items available for purchase that change daily, and 3 that change weekly. These items are also not tradeable, and are previous Fresh Finds items 100% unobtainable for PC players. You can see current and previous Fresh Finds here: https://github.com/SynthSy/PSO2-Dictionary/wiki/Fresh-Finds

To recap, the issue is that, alongside no real good ways to get SG in NA, they are heavily pushing SG items - You have fresh finds, which contains 4 cosmetics that change daily and can only be bought with SG. Then you have 3 weekly outfits/packages that can only be bought with SG. This does not exist in JP. There's a shop that sells 1 cosmetic item a day that costs SG, but you can also get that item with meseta instead if you desire. Then you have these SG sales where they take previously Arks Cash items (read: tradeable and buyable on the player market) and make you buy them in package deals instead of individually. Then, you have Material Storage, which is borderline necessary, costing SG, along with a number of other things in the game.

Even worse, nothing bought with SG is tradeable - So if you don't buy it right then and there, you'll likely never get it again until the Fresh Finds rotates back to it in months, if it ever does. This is a predatory practice called FOMO - Fear of Missing Out.

So in JP, you can get most of these items by paying meseta at any time - In NA, you either were there and bought them with real money (or used the super limited free SG you had) or just didn't get them.

It is completely understandable that a free to play game needs to get its money somehow. But Star gems and Fresh Finds are just predatory. I propose an alternative, whereby players may still be inclined to spend money, but not have to live with the anxiety of knowing that they may miss a day fresh finds has an item they want, and are never able to have it again. A type of "backburner" store, where every cosmetic item released may be purchased from with AC after said items are out of circulation. I may describe this more in detail in another thread.

If you don't like these systems that are in place, I urge you to speak up about it. With enough traction we can make a change. The same has been done for AC scratch tickets released before PC release - or at least, we've gotten a response saying that the GMs have brought it up to the developers.

RE: I am very disapointed in PSO2 for having this Independence Day event

You are exactly what's wrong with society. I know that phrase gets parroted around with no second thought as a knee-jerk reaction to hearing something you might not like. But for you, it fits the bill. You are making a mountain out of an anthill. It is appalling, and rather impressive that of all things, the damned American flag makes you piss and crap your pants. Yes, the US is not the only country in North America. But it's the most populated and it is where most of the players playing on this server are from. Every country has its sins. And every country has its pride. So how then, is it so hard to live with the fact that the NORTH AMERICAN independence day is being celebrated when the NORTH AMERICAN servers have just opened for this game???

@NeirasRothmagia said in I am very disapointed in PSO2 for having this Independence Day event:

unless we really want PSO2 to become a game focused on making political commentary; I know I sure don't.

Did you even read your post before you submitted it?

RE: Be able to trade/sell items from Harvesting/Fishing?

100% agree. Not everyone wants to gather. Probably NO ONE does. But the few who are willing to put in the work can be rewarded with selling the items at high prices, due to the low supply. All is fair.
