Recently I would start with 8/8 and by the 3rd wave it'd be 5/8 or 6/8. Anyone notice the same?

I see that on the JP side there are some trolls abandoning the UQ to find "better" random parties. Are we seeing the same on the Global side as well?

Yeah, a way to toggle the appearnce would be perfect. I was thinking that it would require development of additional systems and that would make it less desierable. But a simple swap of the primary and secondary weapon at the NPC would require no changes to any other parts of the game at all, making it much easier to implement.

Joined the Mining Rig Defense UQ just now. I queued, and the server just stopped responding for a long time (map and basic stats etc all just rotating circles).

When I entered the UQ, I found the first wave had already started, so I joined the fight immediately, and a couple of seconds later, I see the UQ start countdown:

WTF.

And then there's no quest info on the left hand side, no wave countdowns, all thoughout the UQ, and the wave clear messages were completely out of sync, with mobs still spawning AFTER the wave clear message had popped up:

And there are only 4 people not because I set a password on the UQ. I joined an open queue and that's all we got. 4 people.

Come on, what is the problem with this game? The lag has been more frequent and lasting longer these days. We're already close to 3 months into NGS launch, and this is the kind of quality we get?

Is this the kind of gameplay we can expect for the next couple of years? Come on!

I would be fine with the current content if grinding for Fixas were less frustrating, as people doing dailies just jump in to the combat zones killing anything they see and mess up the PSE because they just don't care about it. The "feature" making batch move for material items also adds more frustration to grinding sessions. Add to that the archaic inventory management workflow that feels worse than games made 20 years ago.

I'm someone who can branch mine in Minecraft for 2-3 hours at a time. But NGS grinding is so frustrating I can rarely grind for more than an hour before the frustration sets in and I log off to play Minecraft or browse YouTube.

I think NGS not only needs more repeatable content (other than grinding for presets), it also needs to start thinking about its frustrating UI and UX that is a such joke in the year 2021.

Yep. This "design" baffles me as much as the PSE Level Downs. Just had a run in Labs where the PSE level kept going from 1 to 4 back down to 1 then to 4 then to 1 and so on, because people are not following markers.

The baffling design of PSE level downs plus dailies sending people who JUST DON"T CARE and want to do their dailies killing just any random mob they see, makes it painful to grind in this game. And yet this game is a grind game.

The more I play this game the less I feel like playing because of all these frustrations.

Suggestion: let Item Lab swap the main/secondary weapons of a multi-weapon around, for a fee.

Reason: primary cosmetic.

I am building a Rifle+Launcher multi-weapon, but I have weapon camos for both rifles and launchers that I like, and would love it if I can make the decision to show the rifle as the base today, then the launcher as the base weapon maybe two days later.

The easiest way to implement it would be adding an Item Lab option to swap the primary/secondary weapons of an already existing multi-weapon, while keeping the enhancement level, autmentation, and potentials on the multi-weapon.

Concern #1: becomes a way to "inherit" enhancement and augmentations to completely new weapon types

One concern is that it would allow us to "inherit" enhancement and augmentations to other weapon types, for example I could have a Rod+Talis +40 with all the best augments, and when Bouncer comes out, I could just multi-weapon a pair of Jet Boots to make a Rod+Jet Boots, then swap it to Jet Boots+Rod, and then multi-weapon again to make a Jet Boots+Soaring Blades.

But this is already partially possible because we can already overwrite the secondary weapon of a multi-weapon. And by inheriting this way, the original multi-weapon is completely destroyed anyways.

The restriction of requiring the same weapon series also means it's not possible to inherit augments from a lower rarity weapon, because higher rarity weapons will be from different series.

Concern #2: it could be used to try out new classes cheaply.

So instead of making a whole new Jet Boots+Soaring Blade +40 and augment them, I could take my existing Rod+Talis +40 and multi it to Rod+JB, the swap to JB+Rod and multi it into JB+SB. Then if I don't like it, I could again do all that in reverse and go back to Rod+Talis.

But this isn't really a problem, because I still need to have JB and SB from the same weapon series as my Rod, and I would still consume them in the process, plus another set of Rod and Talis if I want to go back.

Benefit #1: it vastly lowers the cost of trying out different multi-weapon combinations

This means I could easily make a Rifle+Launcher, then go to Rifle+Bow, try it and decide I don't like it, then swap it around to Bow+Rifle and go to Bow+Launcher, for example.

Don't Do #1: don't make the cost prohibitive, such as requiring N-Ex-Cubes.

If it requires N-Ex-Cubes to swap, then it becomes undesirable to swap it just for the cosmetic look. I think at most a significant money and ore cost would be enough, such as requiring 400,000 N-MST and 50 Photon Quartz.

Yes I just want to be able to walk around with a sassy rifle and every now and then have my Bananan Launcher on my back for a couple of days.

I'm holding off all further purchases on this game until SEGA can get its act together. The amount of localization problems we face is unreal. How can an operation be run this badly? I really don't understand.

Because it doesn't have a name, so the AC Scratch shop also doens't recognize that I have it.

Because Astute Braver SG ends on 8/25, it's likely that the ticket can only be used before 8/25.

Come on, Global Team...? Why? This is going into amateur territory.

Yeah. I can't understand why anyone with a brain...okay I'm sorry, let me rephrase that more courteously...why anyone on PSO2 team would even think about treating N-Scape Doll and N-Half Scape Doll as "material". Whoever made this decision obviously have never, ever, played PSO2 nor NGS before and whoever approved this need to be fired...okay no, I'm sorry, I shouldn't say that. Let me rephrase that...

WHY, SEGA, WHY?

These items can't be used while in Material Storage. There is absolutely no reason to leave them in storage during normal gameplay. Please fix.

Wait I only ran into this problem since two days ago and I've had the material storage since launch. Does that mean I've always just been able to get another one before I would need one again? Because I always use the Move All every time I'm back in Central.

Also, in the JP page, it refers to the N-Scape Doll, not the N-Half Scape Doll.
