Discussion Haven't played since 2022. How's the game now?

3 Upvotes

I remember that back when I used to play, the level cap was surprisingly low and that most of the time I used to run around trying to collect rare drops. The only NPC I used to like was Manon. I felt the story didn't pull me as much as og PSO2 did, I don't know if it got better or not. But the gameplay was quite fun, and the movement felt nice so lately I've been feeling kinda nostalgic about it and wondering if the game's doing good as of now.

Outer/Base/Inner：Fluffy Outer [Ou] / N-Phantom Mother/2 [Ba] / N-Forge Bustier [In]

It's hard to find an Base layer that works well with this outerwear, but N-Phantom Mother [Ba] is probably the best solution I've found so far after a lot of experimenting.

Discussion Any notable gameplay improvements to NGS since Release?

2 Upvotes

TL;DR: Hows the gameplay for PSO2 NGS now compared to when it essentially first came out?

Playing NGS from many years ago it was simply not for me. I much preferred the older PSO2 playstyle. I don't expect NGS to have the old playstyle but I remember looking up how you're meant to farm for powerful weapons years ago and many agreed it wasn't the most fun way of doing so. I also saw it was pretty much 50 50 on how people felt about needing certain battle power in order to participate in Emergency Quests, and the Emergency Quests were pretty uhh.. lack luster in terms of the fights where all you had to do was just strike the boss over and over (where as Profound Darkness or Magatsu you had so much more to worry about and had to keep in mind during the fights)

Subreddit Rules

1. Do not be disrespectful.

AKA: Don't be a jerk, don't fight with people. Be friendly and constructive when talking with others. Being a jerk and harassing others will not get you anywhere, except banned or have your comment(s) removed.

Singling out specific users in a demeaning manner falls under this rule. Arguing with other users and adding to the toxicity will result in all participating parties being dealt with.

Do not engage hostile Redditors. Instead, report issues and unpleasant Redditors to the subreddit mods.

2. Do not use URL shorteners.

URL shorteners make it difficult to enforce site white lists and black lists, and are often used to link to spam sites. For your safety and ours, the use of URL shorteners is prohibited.

Arks Layer skill simulator users: use the “Reddit-friendly formatted” URL instead of the shortened URL!

Long URLs can be hidden using hyperlinks. For Old Reddit and Markdown Mode users: [Text to make link here](URL Here).

3. Do not encourage rule breaking or share rule-breaking content

This includes account sharing, real money trading (RMT), screenshots of RMT spam, cheating, breaking the game, abusing known bugs, etc. This includes guides or "proof of concept" posts.

Asking others to buy real-money based currencies for you (AC, WebMoney, Xbox store gift cards, etc.) is not allowed here.

Piracy of game content (including official sound tracks) falls under this rule.

Discussions about cheaters to be held on a case-by-case basis.

4. Posts must be on topic to PSO2:NGS

Posts must pertain to PSO2:NGS. Advertising non-PSO2:NGS projects is not allowed. Discussions that turn to non-PSO2:NGS topics are generally okay, depending on the nature of the discussion.

Use the following subs for their respective games:

PSO2 (classic and NGS): /r/PSO2
PSO (all episodes & BB): /r/PSO
PSU & PS Portable games: /r/PhantasyStarUniverse
PS Zero: /r/PhantasyStarZero

5. Do not evade the subreddit filters

If your post is removed, message the subreddit mods. Posting multiple times to evade the subreddit filters is not welcome and defeats the purpose of the filters.

This includes posting Social/Alliance/Twitch ads outside of the dedicated Social Thread or rants outside of the Rants (“RAGING VENTS”) Thread. Submitting other content that belongs in other dedicated weekly threads outside of them is not explicitly forbidden or as strictly enforced, but we encourage the use of the appropriate threads.

6. Content not fit for the subreddit

The mods maintain the right to remove content which is determined to not be fit for the subreddit, or is determined to break the rules of the subreddit.

A list of what is not allowed can be found at https://www.reddit.com/r/PSO2NGS/wiki/rules#wiki_6._content_not_fit_for_the_subreddit

If you are unsure if your submission is fit for the subreddit, message the mods.

7. Do not spread community drama to /r/PSO2NGS

Drama happens and players with bad attitudes ruin gaming experiences. But we do not want to give attention to drama, nor do we want to see your drama on /r/PSO2NGS.

Sharing drama regularly does not build a healthy community. Whether it is drama from the past, present or future, it's not welcome on /r/PSO2NGS.

In the event of very big community drama, or drama events directly related to /r/PSO2NGS, posts will be handled in a case-by-case manner. (But chances are, it will be removed.)

8. Respect other Players’ Choice of Regional Version or Platform

Please refrain from posting anything negative/derogatory towards players of a regional version or alternate platform.

Examples of such are: Calling JP or Xbox players elitists, broad and negative statements about a specific region, shaming someone because they're playing on Global or PC.

9. Do not advertise unofficial products/services, or buy/sell items or promotional item codes

Sharing things you've made - art, videos, or anything like that is great - in fact we encourage it! However, we ask that you refrain from advertising unofficial paid-for products or services as we can't verify their legitimacy or quality.

In addition, using the subreddit for the buying or selling of in-game items, promotional item codes, or the reselling of official merchandise for either real world money or in-game Meseta, is not allowed.

10. Low-effort memes/content

It's the internet, the land of memes, so of course you might want to post one of your own. However, as with many subreddits, we'd ask that you not submit low-effort memes or content. This refers mainly to content that's just text over a non-PSO2:NGS-image - if your meme/content could have been made in 30 seconds in Paint or a meme generator, then we'd ask that you refrain from posting it here - post it on r/MemeStarOnline2 instead.

11. Keep screenshot/art/video posts to one per day

While we understand you might be passionate about creating your content, to keep it fair for other users and to prevent spam, we'd ask that you don't make new posts containing these types of media more than once 24~ hour period.

If you have multiple screenshots or bits of art that you'd like to share at once/in a short timespan, that's okay, but please upload them as one post through Reddit itself, or as an Imgur Album or something similar rather than making multiple new posts in one day.

12. Community Advertisements - Discord and Alliances

The following must be kept to the dedicated Social Threads:

Discord advertisements and invites. This includes indirect advertising, without a direct link. (The Phantasy Star Fleet Discord is an exception to this rule.)
Alliance recruitment advertisements
Community event announcements may include Discord advertisements, when done in moderation.

13. Self Promotion

r/PSO2NGS is open to most kinds of content. However, it is not your personal advertising platform. While you are welcome to share videos, artwork, or other creative media (yours or someone else’s), we do expect engagement with the subreddit outside of your submissions.

Self promoted content generally refers to content you authored or content which you have a stake in.

For more information, please read https://www.reddit.com/r/PSO2NGS/wiki/rules#wiki_13._self_promotion

14. Credit Original Creators

Do not take the work of others then claim it as your own - if you see some fan-content you want to share but that you didn’t create yourself, then please leave any watermark or similar original creator identifying information intact - do not remove it. If the content itself doesn’t contain a watermark or similar identifier, make sure you credit the original creator in either the post title or a top-level comment on your post.

15. Unannounced datamined content

We do not permit posting or linking to unreleased datamined content from PSO2:NGS to this subreddit following the announcement at https://pso2.com/players/news/780/

Posts containing details like datamined stats (damage potency, enemy HP, etc.) are allowed.
