@JoycieC said in Has anyone ever tried using a third party controller for NGS? Like thrustmaster eswap? does it support it?:

I and several others I know have switched to this:

https://www.8bitdo.com/pro2/

We map the two underside buttons to LS and RS Click-In's, here's a picture:

It's a pretty good controller, and the build quality rivals that of first party ones, 8BitDo have made a name for themselves in the retro community for providing some of the highest quality controllers.

Hello! i really appreciate you recommending this controller, as this is exactly what i am planning on doing thats why im thinking of getting a thrustmaster because of the remappable back paddles. I was wondering, when youre remapping 8bitdo, do you need a software for it? and which software do you use? Also, can the back paddles be configured into let's say a keyboard function instead of action 3 / change back palette?

Im a tech noob, so i didnt know 8bitdo even exist but wow! Im now reconsidering getting it instead

Hello! I remember back in base pso2 days, I have to use ds4windows app and basically trick pso2 to think that my ps4 controller is an Xbox controller for it to work on base pso2.

Now with NGS, i noticed that the controller support seems to be a little bit better since it now accepts dual shock 4 and dualshock5 controllers without any problems.

Then again, NGS is available on PS4 now unlike base pso2 which is only available on xbox console.

So I was wondering if NGS also has the issue of only recognizing controllers on the consoles that it is available on, or does it support third party controllers now like thrustmaster eswap and othere controllers that is not recognized as either xbox controller or playstation controller by windows. My controller has drifting issues now and is due for an upgrade so im thinking of getting a great third party controller like thrustmaster.

Mainly the search feature kind of sucks. Like you cant search anything at all if you want a more generalize search. Do you really have to type the exact words of each item you want to purchase in shop? Like what if you just want to browse items etc.

@Zeke hey man! Thank you and i appreciate that link! Guess i can tell my buddies to just wait and give ngs a chance still! Awesome news man! Im glad theyre working on it

As we all know, lagging is a huge issue atm and sometimes makes the game unbearable. A lot of people, my whole alliance included, have decided to wait and not play the game until the lag issue is fixed.

Im pretty sure its not my internet either since I live in a city in US which has good access to a fairly decent internet connection. I downloaded the whole client in around 20mins. Not might be the fastest internet but i still think its good enough.

I know its a new server and a lot of people are connecting everyday, but if this keeps up, its going to be like pso2 global all over again wherein more than 1/4 of the players would just give up and play other games than this and would eventually forget this game ever existed.

Was wondering if sega is doing something about this or are they really just hoping and waiting that more people will quit and give up overtime until the server doesnt lag anymore? Or are they going to fix it and upgrade servers etc?

I dont have a twitter account so i dont have access to official news and such so I was hopping if people can shed a light about this issue on wether its being addressed or not

Im also waiting for sg support scratch. I have 5k sg atm and will probably pay up to 300$ (my max budget) to get mark capsules so i can finally finish my god units

Poor misinformed people makes me sad that they console themselves by believing their own lies. This is why this MMO is being complacent because they believe no matter how bad the state of the game is right now, there will be fanboys willing to kneel down infront of them while they unzip their pants.

I played back during release, multiple blocks are always full.

Returned january 2021, block 22 and block7 are always on overflow.

Played the game til now. No blocks are on overflow.

Doing UQ, its always the same people I see.

Only 1 trigger party going on and sometimes it takes time to fill it up.

Many are afks because theres really no point in playing the game but they just log in to socialize.

This game is literally bleeding players and its sad that some lesser intelligent humans cant comprehend whats going on and still think its doing fine. Lol.

The main reason sega brought pso2 in GLOBAL isnt because they think pso2 global is going to give them revenue. Its all because to advertise NGS. Thats about it. And with the current content drought + NGS is so close, many players just gave up playing content and decided to just wait.

Are you on ship2? If youre on ship2, do pugs on block7. I seem to get consistent 3 rank S runs with pugs on b7. When you accept quest dont search multiple blocks. Just accept current block

I mean the game is dying theres no other way around it. Why would people want to invest all their efforts grinding for a game thats going to die soon? Might as well just log in and socialize so when NGS comes out, you have a good group of friends to experience it with

Yep game is dead until NGS comes out or when new weapons comes out. Nobody is grinding anymore. Currently on ship2, theres max of 1 MPA running for triggers and it sometimes takes like 10mins to fill it up.

Most people are just afk in lobby and even then, its the same people you see everyday. No blocks are with overflows anymore compared to back then.
