I just noticed this after playing a bit more since last maintenance because I've been working 12 hour shifts and really haven't found time to play much but....when running around the areas it lags more than it used to. Before the maintenance I had very minor stutter/lag when running around areas and just gathering stuff. Now, it feels like It's worse after the maintenance. I never changed any settings. The server lag has improved greatly. But now this. Could it possibly be they screwed something up or the optimization is just truly crap?

@Miraglyth I highly doubt there was even a bug in the first place. I'm sure they threw that in there just to satisfy all the people who play all day complaining about the respawn rates. They just increased the rates probably. There is a huge difference in someone who plays every 24 hours (7:30pm EST every day when I get home for about 3 hours) than someone who plays all day or half the day. All my resources will be ready to be farmed because I farm them at basically the same time every day. Compare that to someone who sporadically farms throughout the day. It's guaranteed their respawn times will be screwed up, etc.

If you're going to farm nodes. Do it one area at a time. Once you are completely sure everything has been farmed, move onto the next. Don't sporadically farm all over the place as it will mess you up. I don't know the exact timer for nodes but all I know is that all my nodes are available every time I get home from work. 24 Hours.

*On a side note I think the location for Lobsters need to be fixed. You can find a crap ton along the river in Central Aelio but in Halphana Wetlands it is lacking a bit.

There is no respawn issue, at all. I've been logging on every day after work and always find my resources fine. The only people who are complaining about it are the people who spend literally all day in the game. The nodes are timed so don't expect to collect the node and then come back 1 hour later and expect it to be there OR collect everything before dailies reset then be surprised there are no nodes to collect for the daily until way later.

I've literally have not had this problem at all. But then again I don't spend all day logged in.

A 4* PSO2 NGS weapon with Lv4. Fixa and Lv.3 Potential at +40 would be better.

The maintenance they did fixed absolutely nothing. They found more things apparently and we'll know more at a later date. This should be top priority over anything else at the moment. I want to play this game but find it not fun at all because of this lag. 7-10 second lag is no fun.

@Yui2387 The 4* weapon is transferred from PSO2 (Of course it was a 15* in PSO2). It's potential is unlocked at Lv.3. My 3* weapon in NGS is +20 and Lv.2 potential unlocked. It does more damage than my PSO2 transferred 15* weapon. Now if i get my 4* weapon and upgrade it fully it's obvious. Logically obvious.

@Vilrein Right. They just didn't want people to have gear transfer over from PSO2 and then that's it, you have the best gear.

Well they are going to "Fix" it possibly today. I hope. I'm sure PSO2 and PSO2 NGS being connected together and our servers being global servers puts a lot of strain on them. I've been having fun with the game but this lag is just a huge pain.

PSO2 NGS gear is a lot better than endgame PSO2 gear. The 4* weapon that I have from PSO2 which is +35 is worse than my 3* PSO2 NGS weapon at +20. The units as well from what I've seen in PSO2 NGS can upgrade to 40? Instead of 10 in PSO2.

The purpose of the rewards is basically....a "Reward" for the beta testers to test and give feedback. Pretty much common sense here. Not everyone is going to get in, it's a test server, not a live server. Only a batch will be chosen. The only actual way to make you happy and others would to be for them to have an OBT as well with the same rewards.
