since this thread is getting more attention than i expected it would recieve...ill share some ideas wich i sent after the closed beta test combined with some added ideas (also from other people) wich would make the game more interesting....the topic is still "where the content sega" as simple as it sounds it can have a deep meaning for those reading through this thread

coming up with "what could have been added for a perfect launch or what could still be changed in the near future - talking about a 6 month span...idk much about game developement tho so idk how possible it actually is)

• each veteran needs a unique weapon drop bound to it wich feels superior to the average 4* drop and more rewarding plus having a unique ability/gimmick only available to this weapon - drop rate should be similar to the old pso as in 0,01% and less -- current weapon system feels lackluster/unrewarding to pso fans according to some opinions ive read

• an overhaul to the gigantix system...making them more accessable to players - maybe with a fixed spawn timer similiar to unique quests and a fixed despawn timer (like each full hour it spawns and despawns after a set amount time on each block the same) also adding unique drops to each (not just a simple weapon series but actual unique weapons...like vets)

• small change to multiweapons - removing the same series restrictions to compliment unique weapon gimmicks

• an overhaul to the lvling system adding an additional deep system after reaching cap wich makes gaining experience more rewarding than simple n-excubes...by removing the "grind for exp" out of pso2 NGS (especially talking about the original pso grind) it lets people feel like "being finished and done" without a reason to do any "grinding" except getting a few extra % dmg...maybe the more you gain "N-Levels" (idk why i come up with this name...) the more additional challenging solo and (not or....very important) group quests with difficult tasks (limited per day/week depending on the quest/task wich change every 2nd week) are being unlocked wich reward the player with items (and also a ton of exp for N-level) that can be traded in for rare augments units or seasonal cosmetics and maybe 3 day premium tickets (limited) and sg (limited) (on top with having a super rare chance of rewarding you with a unique weapon only obtainable here after completing each quest....just for the "rng sucks" effect every game needs) quests unlocked/available depend on how high your N-Level is - also turning these "N-levels" into a seasonal thing wich reset after each major update and replacing all previous quests/tasks with completely new ones to give the player a "fresh feeling"...also you can choose a "status increase" after each N-Level wich only counts for these quests/tasks - maybe making it 50 N-level in total and giving you the option to increase 1 offensive and 1 defensive ability either your potency by 0,5% your dmg reduction by 0.5% your pp consumption by 0,5% your crit rate by 0,2% your crit dmg by 1% etc etc (and again wich only count for these instanced quests/tasks)

• a fun event where central city is being attacked/overrun by dolls randomly and just 2 times per week...idk i just think its kinda fun...no big rewards except for the satisfaction of seeing afk people die and maybe a ton of I-III augments...all dolls despawn after 15 minutes if not being killed...no big content here i know i know but just the feeling that "dolls are being a threat"....it might not be the best contribution to fight the lag but meh

• PvP...idk how many people will like it but...it should be a pvp system that is not being forced to the player

@Kamil118 the doggo spawned in mount magnus according to one of our alliance member

@Pariah-Chan they were pretty strong for a lv 15 with no good gear during beta so might be weak for "us" now - but...i hope they have stronger lv24 versions in rank 2 areas or resol

crits are blue? did i miss anything? just a random ranger here who only sees blue numbers ... means i crit all the time? damn im good

as for the whole topic thing...limiting multiweapons to anything if its an "invisible dmg buff to mainclasses" or "can only be combined with the same weapon series" feels kinda annoying...dont place a new system behind walls...give more freedom to the people = more enjoyment

@Fighter-Fairy said in Where the content sega?:

1. Some kind of beach resort with some NPCs and some quests or small story. It can also serve as casino place.

my guess is that we will build up the destroyed lil beach place from the prologue in future...maybe with new implemented crafting system (way better one than the pso2 version) and new materials to farm in the 2nd region unlocked...and as soon as youve finished all of the side story tasks as a "semi - crafter" you can enter this place as a new "instance based thing" wich is bigger than the original and expands more and more in the future

one can dream right

@someone-1 said in Where the content sega?:

I have never seen any sizable company launching a product with this many proble,

cough square enix cough

@NotTriEdge yea armor goes till +40...but is more expensive than upping a weapon to +40...alone with the fact that you got no gold edition of armor...if you dont have any nice 4th augments id stick to +20 armor for now sicne the defensive doesn do much if you just dodge or parry everything..unless you wear a 3* weapon where def gets taken into account for your crit rate

the weekly meseta + daily alpha reactors feels like enough money to upgrade your gear easily...anybody with a +40 3-4* and 3 + 40 3-4* armor should now have around 300k+ meseta or he/she done something wrong

my friend for example has 1300+ bp and 1.2m meseta left using (pretty lucky drop) a 4* weapon with lv 4 potency and 3 3* units without using original pso2 gear because she never played it and just followed my suggestions on what to upgrade and what exactly to use....upgrading 3* is not only less expansive btw it also allows for easier to obtain high end extra skills - wich make those weapons better than a 4* without them and cheaper to upgrade

did you use gold primm swords only for upgrade? costs you less meseta to get your weapon to +40

as for the personal shop i am totally with you - it should not be a premium only thing in the first place - i hated it in the old pso2 and i hate it now...it doesn feel like an anti RMT measure either....and i see it rarely being used in other games

@Hooonter said in Where the content sega?:

These threads get kinda inane since it's people who just keep telling other people what they think is and isn't content or what finishing the game means. I got a week+ of fun from just rotating and fighting the bosses with the new system and honestly I just mained a single class for that. I sure do wish we were given some level 20 content outside of gigantix next update.

No idea why people are so angry either since it's not like Sega took some fee to play the game, and it's probably better to play the game somewhat earlier as it will be getting updated at the same pace with faster player feedback compared to wanting to move release more or something.

true true true

"where the content" as the topic states doesn help the developer at all to know what satisfies their fanbase getting to play NGS right now thats already worth 100+ hours of playtime to "get done with it" (wich i consider alot) feels pretty good to me (but i guess in reality they had to deliver in a set time? idk how gaming business works...but looking at ff14 in past wich was the worst mmo ive got to play...there must have been some trouble for SEGA as well)

genshin impact was used by the op as an example - well genshin impact did have a "bigger map" on release but it uses the same "find xy treasures" system as pso2 ngs - in ngs you find each day some new alpha reactor to grab the extra meseta that are always welcome as a f2p player - in genshin you found treasures on release outside of the "one time" things...but as soon as you got through with the story it all became a "lets do daily things and logout" game i see no difference from ngs here- i dont see where genshin got more events than pso2 ngs - it had no in game event on launch the first was this defending reactor thing wich was laughable....lets see what ngs first event gonna be like

overall ngs feels superior to me compared to genshin - not because im a big pso fan or a pso whiteknight - but because thats my honest thought about it....genshin felt like one of the cash grabs that blocks content with real money stuff....and yes new characters = content....its as if ngs asks you to pay gacha to get one of the new releasing classes...at a 0.001% chance for 10 bucks a draw...or to block the best weapons behind gacha as well...want your 4* weapon on ngs? pay 100 bucks to get a 10% chance on one....so ngs is by far a more f2p friendly game than those gacha games could ever be - and offers the same effective playtime in "endgame" content as genshin impact on release

we were able to write an essay to them with our ideas etc - now its on them to finalize those ideas into the 2nd next big update they are planning...so speaking of it...itll prob need another year to get a "final product to our liking" and the changes and content we would like to see....or theyll just change/release stuff outside of the roadmap who knows

if its now wanted or unwanted (covid issues) that ngs "is easy" on release and "has no 600 hours of playtime day 1" we dont know - but outside of that question it feels like they wanna "introduce" the game slowly to us anyways - giving everyone time to hit 20 and grab some equip - until they release the next step of difficulty ( the giants next week) and then the next stuff after those...so casual and semi casual player can experience the game fully without feeling the pressure to "advance quickly and rush through content or they are missing on something" hence why events will be introduced on a later date too

if you wanna compare ngs to ff14 then please do me a favour in the future and compare it to 1.0 ff14 not 2.0 since we are talking about the first launch of games - and 2.0 isn the first launch of ff14....if you wanna compare it to 2.0 then pls wait another 3 years of ngs updates

@Zeke said in Is any of the NGS better than end games PSO 2 gear?:

All fine and dandy, but doesn't stop the fact its insanely expensive to upgrade the new stuff. Makes a lot of people want to ignore the gap until the patch that comes out in winter.

getting my 3* up was costing me the money that the weekly quests would give xD maybe 100k more....i think i used up about 600k n-meseta and i got 6% potential augments on it and consider it better than a godly klauz...with precision III (wich gets dropped commonly from northern area...uhm....tentacle like dolls that die 1 hit) then pettas soul I - alts secreta II - and lab note...all easy to get things that wont take you long at all...and then the 4.5% potency increase from the extra...so all in all 10.5% potency

for those who are using multi weapons they dont have to fear that any klauz user is surpassing them...even with "none godly ngs augments" like mastery III...and soon the giant augments gonna come too
