Sorry, that first post just seemed so basic, it could be a copypasta. I have no intention of joining the argument, but i will say this:

Regardless of what words are allowed and aren't, it's never gonna be taking away the ability to offend you. I believe your intention isn't to provide a "safer" place for you and your friends, you just want to see others punished because someone was offended.

I wish you luck on your crusade, but being offended isn't the end of the world. You get mad, you eventually get over it and become a stronger person in the process. If you want to stop at step 1, that's your choice, but i believe it makes life a lot more difficult.

I do hope this gender identity thing will stop being a novelty soon so people can just choose their preferred one and go back to being a normal person.

oh i thought this was gonna be fun but its just bait rip

Nothing stops you from doing triggers solo. Might take you a while but it works.

I don't know why but that title is funny as fuck

Thank You Almighty JP Vet

I still have no idea who you are advocating for, I have never even seen someone so deadset on something so irrelevant.

Also that's a high horse if I've ever seen one fellow JP Vet(tm), where's you eternal loner title, 4min PD and 99 percentile parses? Oh wait wrong game.

Aren't you a bit tired of it? Now that divide is out, you can just grind it easily solo, and its just as fast as a group. Later theres only TPD and Sodam and you'll survive even with slightly longer tpd runs.

Good to see this is still going.

I was sort of suprised space maggy taking so long that I'd probably end up being faster soloing it, but my divide experience had been rather positive.

People get bodied, but it's fun helping randos out and the quest gives a clear failure state and has random players apologize a lot which is a nice change of pace.

And a botched run is worth seeing some confused newfrens getting juggled by fatman.

After observing it for a longer period now, i think NA pug quality is a lot lower, but I'm also having a lot more fun.

There's a PSE Atk Buff you get in Boss and Infiltration Stages for killing the small mobs / activating virtual devices.

That one is shown in your ATK stats. The player count buff comes 1:30 after the stage starts or instantly at Final stages, but they don't show in your stats

Crafting Level 20

Well i have zero badges, so I'll just ignore that the shop exists, for my own sanity.

It was the answer to the traditional drop system. Run one quest until you get a lucky drop. Currency based progression isn't the most fun but it's less frustrating than running quests without getting anything.

There are better ways to do gear progression, but it's probably not here nor is it gonna be in NGS.

If someone goes through that length to clear the quests, then they already put in more effort than 90% of the players i encounter these days, so take that for what you will

Last 5 TDVR i joined had people constantly bitching at each other for reasons that didn't even exist and people were rage quitting when i felt like sabotaging their cheese strats because i kinda wanted to play the game.

A while ago i understood when people said parsers are just gonna make people toxic but i realized global players just can't be quiet and play the game period.

I'm a filthy jp vet but if there's one thing i preferred over there it's that nobody ever talked. Regardless of MPA performance people just played the game.

I'm glad divide is coming out soon and i get to just grind for gear by myself. It's a joke how people get upset in a space waifu dress-up simulator, especially when they argue about something both sides are wrong about.

One day I'll understand the players who inevitably set themselves up for failure by thinking they are somehow gonna get the things they want from what's basically Lootboxes.

My outfit cost me 1 login on freedom day and 1050 meseta and i'm pretty happy with that.

I get there's cool things in the game, but save yourself the energy and focus on what you can get from regular scratches. Personally i don't even acknowledge the existence of the SG scratch because it's basically pointless to expect to get anything. I use SG for functional stuff instead.

Maybe it would help some players to stop thinking about how you need to be rewarded for playing the game. If you don't find the game fun unless there's some gear to grind maybe you aren't enjoying the game either way.

I spent an hour just running through VH forest for fun despite knowing i wouldn't get any of the carrot.
