I mean it's also worth pointing out here that we have Support Partners regardless of all of this. People can make much more messed up things with those regardless and they're allowed just fine. So I don't see why we can have those, but we can't make our characters a few inches smaller.
@WildJenna said in Removing Height Restrictions:
did they say for sure we won't be getting the smart inner wear?
No they did not. They made no comment on it at all. But who knows. It could come with ep4 content perhaps.
The thing is, the state of the game right now has content up to ep6 in places. The ep6 balancing is why some classes aren't working as well as they potentially could given lack of crafting.
But I digress; I would argue at the end of the day that the height thing should be as it is in JP. They provide outfits and the like for NPCs and it's silly that we can't actually make them look entirely accurate as is at the moment. And if any argument against is "Why get so upset over such a small thing?", indeed, why go out of their way to do this differently?
The height allowances were different in JP at launch though than they are now. Perhaps there was even a mishap there, frankly. If so, this restriction might even be a bug.
@Novaline said in Removing Height Restrictions:
Asking and degrading them for this choice isn't constructive either. ;*
I think it's perfectly fine to at least ask for this. They've made a lot of changes already based on player feedback so we should at least try if we want something here that's not on JP. We definitely shouldn't be bashing anyone over it not being here regardless.
I just wanna note too that we can't even replicate certain NPCs at the moment due to this. Many use shorter heights than we are allowed. Honestly, JP doesn't go that much shorter either so it feels weird to not just have the full scale range.
@ERICK001BC said in SG cosmetic "sales" and the current state of SG.:
I just think the way things are correlating doesn't seem that way off for how it's going to be. With every new update on AC scratch and still no real way of earning Meseta (I just made my 2nd character yesterday and will hopefully get my 3rd by the weekend.) These AC scratch items (no matter what drop % value) Just rise to a ridiculous degree. I been grinding like crazy, doing multiple quest, running meseta boost from tree and self, using meseta only weapons and doing client orders and oldman weekly. But, I noticed that unlike Blue Blaze Hands that I missed my chance at 3 mil and now is close to 10mil, All new AC scratch stuff now starts at 10mil, (looking at the Black Shoulder Cat .) It hasn't gone down either that much. But as the new mask, shy blush, or the ties that have that low drop rate, even items with higher drop rate seem to be extremely high as well. I am aware of the market being based on player and by server ship, but I can't help and think that a lot of this has to due with it being related to 3 big factors. The Meseta missions missing, the release content of every bi/weekly, and the lack of ways to earn SG.
You're trying to get meseta directly and that's part of the problem. There are some big things that give you meseta. Daily Orders, Weekly Arks Missions, Yerkes orders in Franka's cafe... all of these are per character too.
The big money though, outside of scratch items, is in gear. I've made hundreds of millions already selling random gear. And it's all well and good making chunks from Psycho Wands or those Unique Badge trade in weapons. However what a lot of people overlook is the augment/affix market. This has always been one of the single largest money makers in this game since its launch. High slots of the correct type of augment can sell extremely well. 4 slot Modulator is 4.3m at the lowest on Ship 1, for example. As you may have seen preupgraded gear sells even better and makes more profit when done correctly as well.
As the game goes on, gear will matter even more too. Right now, clearly the meta is a bit stagnant as we haven't gotten better gear in a bit. But when we do get better gear in the near future, and it will be in the near future with UQs like Profound Darkness coming, people will have more items to upgrade and more reasons to as well. Especially when XH launches, which will likely coincide with or come soon after PC release given what UQs we've been getting recently.
So the meseta portion is fine. The removal of ways to get SG is really not. I will say the amount of scratches we get at once here is rather ridiculous though. I think that could do to be toned down back to JP's typical 2.
Crafting is really one of the bigger omissions I'd like to see sooner than later. I expect we'll see it soon enough, but it's a pain that it's not in given how, as previously stated, many classes are balanced around it entirely since it's been around for years. Force has some Techniques that are outright broken by its exclusion while many other classes suffer greatly in one way or another as well.
A slightly tucked away, but extremely important thing we don't have yet either is the Monkey King Bar/Nyoibo mechanic which made farming high slot units much more bearable via a crafting client order from Zieg. Currently, while there is a way to increase the augment chance on drops, it's ONLY given out with Deband Drink with Premium; the Ex can have it, but the only way to ensure it is to have the 20k meseta drink. Bear in mind the Deband Drink effect stacks with the Nyoibo effect as well.
So currently high slot augment drop potential on NA is greatly hurt by this as these effects make a pretty marked difference.
@Likaizam said in This new SG Sale is Absolutely Wrong:
Either they need to implement all the ways you can gain SG (for free) on JP or they need to lower the price is all I am saying. JP monetization IS annoying but the fact you can no-life grind SG helped offset this greatly.
https://pso2.com/manual/fundamentals/sg
According to this page, we're supposed to have that stuff too. It's just not implemented for unknown reasons in our server, which is a bit shady. In fact, at this moment, only 2 of the 7 non-paid methods of getting it are functional for various reasons.
It definitely feels deliberate too with the casino not having the SG and the Excube shop not having room passes, which is kind of upsetting.
Summoner has always been in a bit of an awkward position. However, in JP it's "solved" because of various collect files for high * eggs.
@Risefromruin89 said in This new SG Sale is Absolutely Wrong:
Legal or not, I do think that, while it may get more people to impulse buy, they would benefit from having various cosmetic packages like this available at all times. That way people have something to either buy when they wish or save up for. And it would be a bit more cash for them in the long run instead of the short term.
I'm not saying that concept is wrong. The issue at hand is if anything that it's not like that. It wavers in legality when something that has not been previously available is introduced with a "discount" that's in actuality the only price it's ever had.
@Zumi81 said in This new SG Sale is Absolutely Wrong:
Sale has 2 different meanings also, 1 being available when an item is just available to be sold, and the other being when an item is being sold at a reduced price.
I am assuming they are using the first definition where you say something is now on sale meaning its just available to buy not using the reduced price meaning.
It's literally not even ambiguously the latter. In fact, based on what happened with Fallout 76, this may actually be quite illegal of them to do. Observe the below:
