I think a chat cooldown for new accounts or temporary silence bans (1 minute for spamming too many times in a row, 5 minutes the next, and so on) is the only real solution.

I guess I'll dredge this topic up since (recent) symbol art discussion's hard to find: For the editor linked in this thread, is there any way to properly "skew" items?

I know that you have complete per-vertex control in it, which is theoretically superior to skew, but I made a symbol art making use of that and imported it into pso2, and it looks like complete trash. The actual PSO2 editor displays the art correctly, but the symbol art itself + in the art list shows a bad version. For a quick extreme example, this is a white box which I bent into an arrow shape + imported into PSO2. I thought the issue might just be concave shapes, but the purple semicircle shown here also gets broken even though the deformation is convex, I assume that the actual game outside of the editor only accepts pure skewed shapes or something.

Are there any guidelines to follow when deforming shapes in the editor to make sure the shapes stay as-expected?

Honestly, all the best PSO2 artists on JP that I've seen use the in-game editor. Make micro adjustments with a gamepad or using the arrow keys on the keyboard.

Nah come to ship 1. We have better symbol art.

I just want the option to turn the chat filter off altogether like every other MMO in existence. It's one of the first things I do in any online game.

What girls? There are like 5 playing this game lol.

How are players currently importing/using their custom symbol art in PSO2 NA..?

In the Pc version you could just import the picture vi the 3rd party app. For xbox I heard you could make the picture and export import but I don't believe you actually can, not yet anyways. Did my alliance art in about 6 hours, wish only the flag one would just shrink it instead of zoom in. So who knows how long that one is going to take me.

A lot of the original ones you see are just hard dedication and persistence. Without symbol lock others just change and tweek different things to get different art.

Still much respect to those that really bring out the limits of these simple art tools. BTW, I highly recommend using a mouse over the controller. Was a lot easier after I found out, sadly after the 6hr one.

Mouse AND controller and it's way faster. Also with keyboard. Utilise Ctrl+C/V (copy/paste) Z/Y (undo/redo) N (insert new layer on top of current selected). Use controller for quickly hiding layers and micro precision adjustments (like counting how many times to resize text layers for consistency). The right controller stick is also great for panning whilst using the mouse to move layers simultaneously when zoomed in to 500%.

@ERICK001BC said in If I let my Premium lapse, do I lose my symbol art past 10?:

Yes. I think it works like the room feature, where it will keep it but you wont be able to access until you get it again.

Works for me. Thanks.

Needless to say, I do a lot of SA. Just would like to know if I need to move all my best to the first page when my Premium lapses in a couple days. Thank you.

@KnightHarb1nger they are making them in game which can take hours to make them there are even people that will make SAs for Commission I have seen someone offer to make stuff on ship one

Yes, I take commissions, as do others in a club I run. Does OP still need one?

I made the popular surprised Pikachu SA.

We make them! I lead a group of artists and we do commissions for players. You may have seen some of mine around like Surprised Pikachu, buff Pooh, Peter Griffin hurt knee, General Grievous, and others. It takes time to do.
