@Karavel-0 Thank you for rezzing this. I started playing on Steam and can't believe they've left this problem unattended since so long ago.

Logged in just now and got 2 bots spamming in my face right away. It immediately put me off so much that I had the urge to just log off.

I think it's safe to assume NGS will be the same.

Combined with how the Fresh Finds is being managed, and simply removing whole chunks of translations, I think it was a mistake to think they were serious about running this game.

Gonna have to change my Steam ratings...

Actually, I don't think it matters anymore. Sorry for the post. Stay safe everyone.

Anyone know why? I consider it a privacy concern and I have turned it off more than 3 times by now.

Does it have something to do with plugging in a USB amp that maybe PSO2 is regarding as a new device and hence defaulting to enabling voice chat?

@Irisundone said in Please do something about the spamming bots:

Hard bans on PC and on console are things that are already implemented with other MMO games and other general online games, too.

I have a suspicion that PSO2 isn't set up to send any encrypted data, so it becomes easy to spoof any hardware identification data as well. And then there's also the problem of the legality of collecting data on the hardware that isn't directly required for running the game. It might even be illegal in Japan, maybe? I suspect EU would probably be very strict about this.

But otherwise I would welcome a proper hardware ban as well.

As a player, I just really want a lobby that is free of RMT spambots.

Why not put in title requirements to the last couple of blocks? Such as:

• completing the story; or
• completing certain quests (e.g. bonus key quests); or
• having enhanced a weapon to +35 (actually enhancing it on that account); or
• having one of the main weapon boost titles etc.

People who don't like it or need to be with a newly joined friend can just play in the lower numbered blocks.

@AC-GLINT said in Fresh Finds Daily Items a Repeat of Last Week?:

complain on the forums about not getting 2x of the accessory you wanted from FF

sega un/intiontally made todays FF a repeat

complain on the forums about getting 2x of the accessory you wanted from FF

sega no longer makes FF repeat

complain on the forums about why FF never repeats

Complaints never go away because you can't satisfy everyone. But without the complaints, you will never know where to find a good compromise.

If you don't like the complaints, you don't have to read them. Skip the thread. Ignore the thread. Complaining about the complaints is far less constructive than anything one could do on a forum that was meant for the players to convey sentiments to the developers.

1. It's obvious they want only retweets (Twitter) and likes (Facebook) on their official posts. Ambiguity from not writing clearly is a common mistake.
2. Attacking the person and not the matter at hand is not constructive. It is also not civil.
3. We're only at around 4100 retweets at the moment. Any PSA is going to help towards that. Although at this rate the 10,000 goal should be easily obtainable.
4. People with Twitter and willing to participate: don't forget to retweet the goal reached announcement official tweet as well because that one counts, too.

Generally speaking, I refer to gear that are extremely easy to obtain yet comes with reasonably good augments already, as welfare gear.

So for example stuff given to us via titles and badges which are already augmented; specifically Stellar Wall (12* sub units 5s) from titles and Phobos (12* set 6s) for completing EP5 stories. They'll probably only be implemented in EP6, but it's not like EP5 is going to last a year. Weapons Barrier would be the welfare gear for new players at the moment, as they can be worn from after the prologue all the way until maybe buying Brissa off the player shops.

As to weapons, Revolsio+30 would be the current welfare gear. But yeah it's cheap and easy to augment properly even if relying on farmed mats, so there's no reason not to do it.

There's really no reason to use any 10* or 11* gear at level 80 at the moment, unless a new player who haven't had time to even think about gearing. So yeah, I'm not that out of touch with the game. :3

A tradition of PSO2, all augment-related items become targets for speculation whenever there's such a boost campaign coming up.

I'm just going to rely on welfare gear until NGS. :3

It looks like we're gonna get 2 weeks of repeats then. This is really sad.

What's really happening? Is this the way Fresh Finds is going to be run? Can we get some official answers? Are we looking at a cycle of 2 weeks of new stuff and 2 weeks of repeats from now on? Or is this a mistake?

If it's for account wide, why not just let us buy 2 of each for all cosmetics?

Alpha testing? Nonono. It's releasing officially Nov 19th. :3
