Yeah if you're using the Tweaker, if you run into a technical problem with PSO2, it isn't the job of the official PSO2 support team to help you fix it.

@same No really, I'm just a regular guy. All that the reddit moderator role gives there is a yellow name, and grants no additional abilities that a regular user does not have.

I help moderate over on /r/pso2ngs, and that's it.

Just put a blanket ban on Tweaker, hopefully Denuvo straight up bans anyone using that POS rootkit miner Tweaker when NGS Launches.

Again, where is the proof of Tweaker being that? In addition, who is saying that Denuvo is related to PSO2 at all? The only place it is mentioned is in the EULA, which is standard boiler-plate legal terms that is common across multiple SEGA games on Steam. This part is of interest:

This Product may beprotected (sic) by anti-cheat/hacking software and/or Denuvo Anti-Tamper Protection Technology (“Denuvo Anti-Tamper Technology”).

Emphasis mine.

Methinks people are spreading misinformation, intentionally because they don't like anything involved with Arks Layer or otherwise because they just don't know any better.

The same goes for nProtect GameGuard. The Wikipedia page for it is outdated and does not represent how it behaves with PSO2 nowdays, where it simply loads a kernel driver that unloads itself when the game closes along wirh a few other processes. No service is installed, no files are dropped into system folders. It's still rootkit-like but doesn't embed itself into your install of Windows like it used to.

I wouldn't be surprised if they listed the artists that they did as they're trying to appeal more to the mainstream as well as the niche anime RPG players that PSO2 attracts.

Are you referring to https://www.twitter.com/play_pso2/status/1386825691208065038 ?

Also aren't you a part of ARKS Layer?

No? What makes you think that? I'm just a regular guy.

What proof are you wanting?

I wasn't asking for proof of the webmoney stuff as you already posted the internet archive link. Rather I was referring to this bit:

Looking at the ARKS Layer Discord, everytime Global does something even a message in a AC Scratch ticket on the website, AIDA makes some snide remark and tries to create this Global / JP thing, when it makes no sense since both are SEGA. They don't crap on the JP side. But why is that? Simple. Because that's how they got their fame and their money. Global is a direct competition to their fame and money that's why AIDA doesn't like Global on the level they do. I mean in Phantasy Star Universe days they were absolutely fine bootlicking the SEGA mods on SEGA Forum for the western version of PSU, but now that they have a stake in something else you get this result.

It feels like you're wanting to cling to the webmoney issue despite the fact it has been 5 years since then, and that if you were proactive about it (which it sounds like you was not), you would have requested a chargeback and avoided this issue in the first place. Also you willingly sent your money to a stranger on the internet and there's always an inherent risk with that.

I do not see a reason to be "uncomfortable" around Aida at all. Maybe if you were to live in the year 2021 you would understand why people like them so much.

I would also recommend linking your Steam/Epic accounts to the Microsoft version of the game now otherwise you can lose out on the rewards. It's free Star Gems, as well as an accessory and stamp that are both tradable.

Sorry, but where exactly? I haven't seen then do anything related to what you are saying they are doing, and a smidge of proof has yet to be provided by anyone in this thread. There's a thing called screenshots you know.

I do wish people who throw around accusations that have been made here would y'know, actually provide proof instead of just saying "it happened trust me guyz". Apart from the webmoney stuff that happened way back in 2016 which was just unfortunate mismanagement.

@Sakesubaki The only way to play PSO2 on PlayStation 4 and 5 currently is via the Japanese version of PSO2, where an actual release of the game exists both digitally on the PSN store and physically via the deluxe packages.

Also that first link only explains linking your PSN and Epic Games accounts together, and the second is just straight clickbait lies.

@Vashzaron said in Please say it isn't so. New Genesis:

PSO2 is largely a casual game, it being not optional as they contain something as essential as skill points guarantees they will always be easy to do

Exactly. In fact, in order to get the skill points you just need to complete the Main Mission in each Cocoon/Tower to get the skill point. The Side Missions for each of them currently are just for bragging rights.

So since it's skills meant for fighting, why don't you get them from fighting? Unless they are skills for movement or something, otherwise it's pretty dumb regardless of how easy it is.

You do. Two of the known Cocoons are specifically designed around combat:

• Wild Rush has you defeat 42 enemies as fast as you can while taking advantage of your new movement abilities.
• Enhanced Enemy teaches you about the new enhancement cores found on enemies by throwing a single "Pedas Sword" enemy at you. This enemy has the core on their back, and your damage to any other part of the enemy is resisted until you break the core.

The Great Wall Tower quest is more like an obstacle course and enemy gauntlet rolled into one, not unlike Time Attack quests in PSO2. This video shows it off well. As you progress, the platforming challenges between each encounter become more complex and build off of each other.
