With NG coming out, it will effectively kill this game. So sega once again, did a very dumb move (or smart move if youre one of the idiots who buy ac scratch tickets then sell them for meseta)

Is there any point on investing time on this game? Since 2021 everything will be gone anyways aside from fashion. So all you literally have to do now is just log in everty fresh find reset to make sure you dont miss any good stuff that can carry over.

Also here's my take on NG and why they announced it so late. It is to bait the whales on NA to spend big amount of money here then basically fuck them over by putting an expiration date on this game so they can respend all their money on NG. double the profits $$$

@GM-Deynger thats all im asking! Thank you for the response and acknowledgement

They said they will extend for 12hrs

Some items were tradeable which could hurt their precious money generating possibility xD

Like people dont buy enough ac scratches or something.

So yup, i guess until they fix that very small mistake, majority of the players will have to suffer and not be able to utilize the entire premium day dedicated to their premium players that they care about

They said it got delayed on their twitter. No estimate how long. Probably still working on that sg fck up. They care so much about sg items not being tradeable its so funny lol

So, we all already expected that maintenance is going to get extended. After all, they always mess things up. So no surprises that once again they disappoint the players.

Question is, it happened on pso2 day, a day for premium players. Are they going to get compensated with extension or no?

@Mattwo7 oh you misunderstood me i think. Im not saying they should throw all the content in jp to NA asap. What i mean is they didnt think it through when they basically gave away bis units to everyone.

I understand they are trying to catch up with JP. But when you can get bis gears in 3days just by doing dailies, that wont keep players engaged in the game. They shouldve released the easy rising badge2 quest closer to the actual new content update rather than releasing it very early. It certainly killed most of the players motivation to play with the exception of those whos in the game for fashion.

@Ranmaru there is no doubt this game is fun. Otherwise i wouldnt be here bitching about it anf complaining and trying to make the game better by letting sega hear our suggestions. But most players who actually liked this game went back to JP after the shit show. Im not sure about people coming back though. With tons of new mmos coming out, if a game doesnt have the ability to retain its players, chances are they wont come back. Specially if they already invested their time somewhere else.

Road maps dont matter if they run the game to the ground before it happens. Its great they have a future goal but theyre already killing the game in the present time.

@Albert said in Thoughts on things as both a NA and JP player (Feel free to ignore as it's a bit long):

Gonna be a nerd and compliment your formatting, grammar, phrasing, etc. because that made it an easy read lol

Regarding the matter at hand, I really do agree we should all just try to enjoy what we have for now and get along, and that comparing the two versions of the game has really done more bad than good. However, even with PSO2 NA as my only real experience with the game, I still feel like there's nothing to do except grind ultimates or casino coins nowadays; so while I don't have that "missing content" feeling, I definitely have that "wow, there's really not much to do in this game" feeling

And even then, I'll only get a drop once a week in ultimates if I'm lucky haha

This is why i suggested this thread

The ultimate grind can be a bit boring with just how everything is only based on RNG. There is really no sense of progression.

Oh you mean the new NA exclusive event that killed the game? Lol since that event got released 40% of the population went to other games because they ran out of things to do after giving them bis unit lol.

Theyre saying they want NA on parity with JP? That would be an absurd goal with the way they are doing with NA right now. And not listening to player feedbacks isnt helping at all.

Sure come ep 4 there will be new content. But majority of the people who left to try other games while waiting for new content would probably not come back as theyve already invested their time on other games.
