![[PSO2 NGS] EX Augment Guide - What to Look For & The Best](/img/n.gif)
What do you think Sega should do to keep their players engaged and the game more engaging?
They honestly should have made
DECOLD MIGHT TAKE MIGHT III AND DECOLD III WHO AGREES???!?!?????!?
k rant over.
This game is becoming more and more uninteresting
stop banning them over retarded shit, add content instead of reskinned element enemies, stop waiting a year to l raise level cap
maybe not lock the player shop behind a paywall for free players to start.
First step for SEGA is to lose the boomer mentality- then they could probably see the shit they're doing is oldschool mmo stuff no one has time for. No one wants to grind for several hours holding their piss in and forgoing sleep for a rare drop that doesn't drop, only to then have to gamble augments on top of it resulting in a loss of over 30-50m meseta.
honestly Im just going to keep the normal 'giga-3 augments' on my gear and farm for 'low temp resistance' in the level central cave because you can get 50-100% decold buff while farming for meseta and items
Long story short: SEGA wants us to live in their game.
Time to go find Truck-kun and get Isekai’d into NGS.
My biggest issue with NGS way to get gear is that it makes you grind boring content.
I mean, on base we also had to farm a lot to get those juicy top tier weapons after each update. But the thing is that the farming itself was fun : great EQ bosses, ultimate quests and so on (well buster quests existed too…).
I remember having so much fun chaining persona, dragon or sodam EQs at launch with my alliance friends. Never been bored about doing it, it made you learn the fight properly and you were guaranteed a weapon after a few days/weeks.
I can’t understand why with NGS we are still farming PSE and boring 32 players veteran clones to a stupid amount. Just make materials required loot from EQs, even if they’re not as good as base pso2 IMO, that’s still far better !
Imagine having a Fixa 5 Rokz with Addi, Mastery 4 and Decold Might just for them all to get deleted when "upgrading" it kek. Sega you done fucked up.
'kek-
The face cam video is a good touch, keep it up. good video bro
Accidentally clicked on this video (left a like tho ) NGS has become a choir for me to play. PSO2 base was my favorite game when that came out, and I loved NGS when it first came out because, no doubt the game has good bones, but I guess it stops there.
I dunno i guess I don't like playing PSO at a slow crawl.
I play NGS super casually: log in to do dailies, maybe stick around for some extra leveling if I feel like it, and that's basically it. It took me two days of my usual gameplay to get the Crocs I needed for that first quest, and I hadn't even SEEN Kvaris equalizers until yesterday (thankfully I had moved on to that step and managed to get two of my three, but making it a requirement to kill three of these things when they're rare enough for someone to not even see one for a week and a half is...questionable at best, in my opinion). Plus, even if I somehow manage to get that last enemy kill AND force myself to grind the orbs and blizzardium, there's still that Rokz weapon, which requires either better RNG luck than I have (TWICE if I want to maintain a multiweapon) or spending the bulk of my n-meseta on the market (which I can't afford to do twice) since I'm f2p and tend to burn through money faster than I can earn it just to get the cheaper 6*s and keep everything upgraded enough to run basic content.
So for all intents and purposes, this is where my gear grind stops, and I don't much care. I'm not gonna spend time on grinds like this when the reward isn't worth the time investment in my opinion, I have plenty of BP on my main to run everything that's currently out, and I fully expect easier/pity gearing options in the future when my BP lead starts to run out, so...yeah, I'm done caring.
yeah, have to agree. I'm done at the Sech weapon series unless I get lucky enough to find the rokz weapons needed for my multi-weapon setup I like playing. I did manage to find the EQ enemies and unlock the shop and I'll say this:
don't bother.
grind when you feel it, get your Ex cubes, level other crap if you want, but yeah this whole deal is kinda crazy. In general I like the Kvaris update (even if I don't care for the lost central zone area) but that upgrade grind is downright OBSCENE... especially since the rokz augments don't transfer if you do decide to try to get that new weapon from the shop.
you're not alone, whenever there is a new higher stars weapon i usually just pick the one is cheaper (or in case of 6* its the freebies evoleclipse) and just upgrade it with freebies augments from events or limited quest (if they give any) and never change till new update arive again. Usually its more than enough for daily and weekly missions in latest region.
Even casual cant stomach it
I was holding off on going all in on my 6 star weapon, but seeing I'm probably going to either grind for 1month+ or luck out on a Rugged weapon. I just went with it since by the time I'm actually going to get a 7star, the 8star weapons are probably already out.
Dam imagine the backlash if 8 stars are hiding some where in the game now
yup, by the time 8 star comes out these fancy 7 star will be as worthless as a Relik weapon.
just relax and kep you own playstyle role of farming and waiting for other easy obtainable weapon series until december when new lvl cap is rized.
I don't like how something you find that's super duper rare can be exchanged for a single N-Grinder.
You're 100% correct, but leave the Tiktok filters out.
I got these ideas from UA-cam xD
@@PigeonLyfe I too make bad life decisions in a similar vein. It's ok. X-D
I agree with this. I just started up PSO2 again after a year plus long hiatus. I played base nearly every day and when NGS was about to come out, I honestly felt pretty burned by SEGA.
I’ve been following NGS here and there over the last year, and I felt like now was a good time to possibly jump back in. I am really enjoying the game but the grind for some of these capsules and Weapons are crazy. By the time you farm and get 1-2 of them, another 7* weapon will be released. You may enjoy the weapon for just a few weeks until it’s obsolete again. At least in base, you could transfer over augments… They’ll definitely be more 7* weapons coming out in the next few months. The amount of time to get one and to augment properly (and the insane amount of meseta if RNGejus is against you), is ludicrous.
It may just be better off playing with your 6* items, have a BP of 2650-2750, is sufficient enough for our current endgame. And if you get lucky 🍀 and get a Rugged to drop, then great. However, there will be no sweat coming from off my back that’s for sure.
The Battle Power restrictions is just... I hate it. Why do I have to level up two values. why not just remove levels outright? that's why I love Base but can't play it because of the outdated combat.
You can put decold precision, gigas precision and precision 3 on the same item and still have 2 slots to use. This is for Endgame glass cannons
I mean, if you want to be rocking Retem levels of Potency, go for it. Gigas/Ancients will still one-shot you with DK3 on all units and your weapon.
Im not even bothering with the 7 star stuff. im just gonna spend meseta on fashion instead atm
Fashion have no upgrade mak it better than this weapons
Decold stat capsule scams aside (yea that should've been statIII's instead of gigas) what really grinds the gears is the way they implemented the rokz-kaizaar progression.
Item lvl, affixes, fixa, etc not transferring to the "upgraded" weapon is literally OT weapon era (base ep1-3) and we moved passed it for a reason(it's shit).
What compelled them to revert back to the old shitty ways is beyond me at this point.
Reason for getting these augments is that they are able to stack with other similar augments for more damage output plus environmental resistance on top of that.
@@melsmith7145 well yes obviously, the thing is, decold might for example should use decold standard iii + might iii, not gigas might iii, giga stuff is expensive enough as it is, and the regular stat iii's are saturated enough in the market
@@ragneue most of the time player market prices are greedy. Better to grind them out with veterans and bosses.
I got lucky was able to get the 3 equalizers in lost central and I was mainly focused on raising funds for a new cosmetic. Though I would give the new weapons a skip and keep the rok boots if i get one.
1 year almost has passed and still we have the same boring end game loop, the worst of all, they are asking us again to farm a god dam Gigantix (a new type but still same stuff) and for what purpose? the only challenging content is geo lab and even that is not that great (falz rank 2 sounds nice but that's not even NEW content).
Im going to focus only on dailies until something looks interesting in the future of this game, because right now there's much better tittles were we can have fun (COWABUNGA MY DUDES!)
Still i will keep supporting the content creators and the global social media accounts, because, a part of the community is the only thing that make me enjoy anything related to NGS.
None of this matters...............
If you can't even finish resos equalizer quest.........ive been at this stupid ass quest for almost 3 days and only got 1 to spawn within those 2 days. I'm just gonna AC and save money for a rugged weapon. Sega DONT EVER pull some shit like this again. This quest might as well be end game content
5days in still on 1/3 equalisers 😭 feeling so defeated now.
In my opinion I think with the 20% augment being a bit more easily to obtain though the stargem shop. Sometimes you are better off using one of the 20's and 1-3 of the augment and hope for a success lol.
Well im so glad that we could get at least 3 armor units with decold might/tech/precision 1 for each "classifications" from the red boxes at having 25% resist with 30% from food buff its 55% also need 1 50% booster and your are fine so you need 3.000 or 9.000 orbs just for that augement for you units and not to need those boosters.
But yea thats a real expensive capsule with 2.5% weapon potency.
yeahhhh think I'll be sticking with the sech or if I find one, rokz weapon and stopping there, and those augments... by the gods of all that crawl no.
*Laughs in still using 5 stars gear because current endgame gear will be obsolete when they give easier to farm gear with the next region anyway*
Hello there PigeonLyfe, nice face reveal XD. But yeah that task to unlock the Shop is bad enough, the Rokz weapon being a fodder weapon in the end is just a flip to all the people who maxed out the weapon before it was announced lol.
Thanks! :D
And very true, big tough moment.
i hope they make the Grinding or farming Fun ---
lol equalizers was really easy for me took me 30mins to get all 3 of them, having 8 people doing the equalizers quest is the best route to do it.
A big thing people aren't thinking about, you get 1 sesato unit with decold on it per stat type (Phy, Rng, Tec) so realistically it's not too hard to get the 100% resist to get a head start to farming ancients
You'd only need to enhance/augment the 3 units with decent augments, and then a 6 star weapon to put a decold augment on for 100% harsh environment res
and remember folks; all of this will become COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT in 6 months to a year when the next region comes out
It's more for the all day players that want something to work for.
People were complaining that pso2 was easy. Sega said aight watch this bitch
you can get low temp resist boost from lost central that free drop. there is 25-50-100% cold res. then your food buff from kvaris gives you 30% cold res. 3 mag on kvaris region gives you 30% if they all well-fed (10% each) so basicly you have 60% free from food/mag. and if you spend 5min on yt video with red box location in kvaris to get sestato armor from it already with decold might/tech/prec 25 per pic and you keep 1 that you need for your class then sell outher 2 on market and buy that you need for you class. so food/mag/2 armor that you get for free from red box this already 110% decold resist i hope you get the point. you don't have to CRAFT something to go farm ancient! sorry for my bad english.
I have 5 stacks of ice orbs lol
what a game...
Exactly! 🤣 was that Joe Biden falling down the steps? 😆 I just use mediocre augments now, I stopped caring. This game made me go back to reading books. Currently reading the fall of Hyperion. 🍻
It took me like 1hr to find the equalizers, ig im lucky
Play alt and lets see if you can do it again
My personal feeling is none of the augment exchanges are worth it and as far as the Kaiser weapon you're getting so much of an improvement on damage having to eat the capsules you wasted on rocks and the Investments is still worth it for so much of a damaging increase yeah it sucks you wasted those capsules but the final product is so worth it
1k icicle orbs is like 6 hours of the box hell grind in Ruins. Still when I saw this, it was so bad. Well by that time anyways you'd have enough extra Blizzardiums from those box hell to make x10 decolds...probably.
Also it's either 15m or just buy 3 of those Sessato units with decold already...for under 1m each LAST WEEK! I hate how it went from like 500~700k to almost 3m at their peak last week and I was too dumb to not capitalize on that. I sold mine the moment I got them from the red containers and I had a ton of money as well that I could have had hoarded them and do the capitalist thing and scalp them. Personally I have none of that but I still have 100% resistance due to the 50% item + the 50% from mag and food buffs. Don't get me wrong, Sega is dumb for doing this but I'm already sitting on 60 Ice Cubes so I don't even worry about the status anymore. Maybe if they throw a UQ that needs it, I might start looking into the armors and capsules again.
Not gonna hold you I'm a f2p player and I lucked out and got a rugged weapon. It was a sword and ngl I think the hunter class is kind of doodoo butter, so I decided to sell the weapon on the personal shop. At the time I didn't know how low the drop rates were for them. I was like I'll just sell it and buy or find a new weapon. And holy sh*t these 7* weapons are non-existent. After selling it I was honestly thinking of leveling my hunter class just to use the sword. However, getting a 100 million mesta is pretty nice.
Side Note: why the fuck do we have tax in this game. I damn near almost sold that sword for around a 150 million and only got 100 million back tf. I want to know what my taxes are going to lmao.
Side-side note: I know I probably could have sold it for more. I initially had it at 300 million, but no one would buy it so right before my personal shop ticket expired I put it on the market for 150 million or around that much I can't remember.
Bro that's super awesome! Big moves!
@@PigeonLyfe thx man. I'm just kind of bored with the game now. I can do all the content I want besides purple triggers (which I could grind for but not going to). I wish they added more story to kavris. We didn't get like a big bad boss at the end like the other two chapters we kind of just left after fighting arms.
How did u get that outfit?
It was a star gem scratch
I'm just using the Red Box armor units and a Decold II, that I got from some quest, on my weapon. With the Region Mag buff I normally have 110% Low Temp resist and I spent zero meseta and did zero grind.
I'm not really bothered about absolutely maxing out my damage, especially with the extra augment slot from limit breaking. After the math I'm just missing out on 9.75% potency that I could've got if I decided to go for perfect DPS. Not counting the Behlgren armor units, though...
yeah i won’t do that equalizer quest…
The cinquem farm was already ridiculous, now that weapon its useless it didnt last more than 2 months, the photon scale was horrible, you expect they going to do something better, instead they double or triple down on the madness..... i just stay with my normal 6 star weapon, all the time spent feel like wasted.
you could also just:
- Look up Sestato Armor Arga/Belta/Sheza
- Check if they have Decold Might/Precision/Technique
- Buy 2 them (Goes for like 1.5 - 2 mill each on ship 1)
(2 of them give 50% cold resistence, which should be enough with food/mag buff)
- enchant it to +50
- affix them without deleting the Decold affix. (obiously)
- optional: transfer a fixa of a other Sestato armor onto yours.
IMPORTANT: IF YOU LOOK UP DECOLD ON THE UNIT, MAKE SURE ITS DECOLD MIGHT, PRECISION OR TECHNIQUE
DONT BUY THEM WITH DECOLD STANDART ON THEM! SINCE IT ONLY GIVES YOU COLD RESISTANCE BUT NO 2.5% DAMAGE!!
That is correct, but they will be a limited supply get em while you can ;)
The usual stuff, I assume?
Let's see how SEGA fixes this shit, or we'll see how many people walk away... and see what happens to their game.
They started badly, they took some gasps and have survived, but now they have shit on each one of us (casual, half casual, half hardcore and hardcore players).
They have the advantage of being a totally free game, so if they can fix their mud they can. And let it be soon or they will have dug their own grave.
They already do. Paying streamer to play their game at launch only have the world to see how thrash the server is
I'll just stick to my rokz weapons. We don't even have content that needs those 7 star weapons. Plus they will just ass something new later near the next patch like what they did on retem. So just chill get the bare minimum and you will be fine.
PSA: Do NOT use the decold augments they are pointless the region mag buff gives up to 30% cold damage reduction and food also give another 30% then if you have 50% cold reduction boosters you are good to go to the gorge. I think players should just go for PP, HP , Pot floor, or damage reduction not cold damage mitigation.
It's should've been 1 giga might 3, instead of 5, i mean i get it, it's better than it needing 10 of them, but those are giga 3's we're talking about, those are not easy to come by. Tbh, it just feels like Kvaris got stretched out when it comes to the content and progression, like the zone is probably the biggest zone in the game, and it's mostly empty, and this time quite literally, not even mob spawns, nothing.
Sega seems to be desperate to stretch out content cause we burn trough it extremely fast, but they're taking the wrong approach. Like take geolab for instance, that place is a shitshow, stupid scaling and shit, melee classes there are basically for people who love to get railed. They could've made each floor a boss battle, with some extra sprinkled in. But instead we got that boring, uninspired crap.
Now Kvaris, we got some good QoL stuff, and great buffs for a couple classes (Braver, Force, WAND), but we also got a shitty stretched out progression that feels like shit. I'm willing to bet that 60% of playerbase won't even bother with those weapons and augments, they'll stick to those buff tickets that increase that resistance.
why am i writing a damn essay on this....
I think its still way too early to draw to conculsions yet. Kvaris is deffinitely drip feeding content right now, give it another two weeks and then have a dialogue about the grind.
Yeah as soon as I saw the "endgame" content, I tapped out... this shit is ridiculous. Haven't even finished the equalizer quest. The game is a fvcking fashion sim.
I fall in the category of tryhard casual (good gear, I like the grind, know mechanics, still die like a mo...), and there is just no way in fvcking hell I'd do this kind of grind + gambling. Because that's what it actually comes down to: gambling and praying. At least with Cinquem series, you put in the work, you got the high-tier weapon. This Kizar series and the hell / money sink to get to it is trash. And as mentioned before... they'll have to make a freebie 7* anyways to punish the spurgs who grinded this garbage.
My friends and I quit after the first month or so after 'release'. I don't know why I expected better from the literal casino game company, but the predatory monetization scheme just drove me off.
The game is intentionally designed to make the whales richer while the f2ps have a harder and harder time staying afloat.
- Make 99.9% of drops worth nothing, items with implicit modifiers (makes everything that has no implicit worthless) that have various effects and tiers (everything except the highest tier and the meta effect is worthless). Over the course of the first few weeks of confused market prices, natural drops became virtually vendor trash while only those 0.00002% lottery drops had any value.
- Scratch items became the only valuable items on the market to actually have value as an obvious process begins to occur.
- Forced minimum sale prices on some scratch items so that they're artificially more expensive.
- Force people to pay money to sell the things they paid money for (or anything else for that matter).
- Scratch sellers become the only ones accumulating wealth, feeding off the buyers.
- Scratch sellers know that other scratch sellers are also looking for certain scratch items and have scratch wealth to spend on it, so they charge more for scratch items.
- Scratch sellers already finished upgrading their character with all their wealth and so can sell all of their upgrade materials to the struggling plebs to accrue more wealth.
- Scratch item prices continue to inflate as the rich are no longer marketing to the F2P and casuals, the scratch items are changing hands between the ones already filthy rich for ever increasing prices that they know other scratch sellers are able to afford.
Next thing you know Sega's going to introduce (if they haven't already) missions that give boatloads of meseta just like old pso2 and inflate the market even further. All to "help" the f2p, when the underlying cause is their monetization system that they already know ruins the market. But it's not about the players, it's about making more whales for Sega.
The grinding of the ancient mob for the frozen cubes is what just as dumb. u get 2 a kill if youl lucky 3. They take like 10min to kill then you have 15mins for each respawn. I dont know why sega does this. Do they expect us to sit in that cave 24hrs a day. Then once again the 7star weapon never drops regardless of how many or how much rare drop you have. I have been playing since release and i have never found a relik weapon of any type. Now its just the same al over again. The weapon itself shouldnt be that rare. Its finding it with fixas that should be super rare.
just go to another room, i can kill like 10+ ancients an hour
I will say up front I haven't looked into the Gorge much yet, as I still need to pray for Equalizing Enemies to spawn for me, but what's stopping players from using Decold Standard over Decold [Might/Ranged/Tech]? I agree that the costs of the new augment is insane, and I'd like to see it significantly reduced, but do they do something more than including Cold Resistance and Increased Damage on the same line? Maybe the new endgame content will be demanding enough you need every point of damage you can get to clear it, but it's hard for me to imagine that being the case based on NGS's history thus far.
I agree with every criticism you made of the system, but unless I'm missing some information the gatekeeping rhetoric seems pretty hyperbolic.
Also, for what it's worth, the distorted laughter edit got really repetitive by the end of the video.
Thanks for the video as always, appreciate the effort you put in to ensure its not just an 8 minute long, uncut webcam recording! :)
Yeah you make a good point, but losing out on almost 7.5% of damage just to do end game content sucks. Maybe 5% kinda if you go the decold standard route.
I'd say it gatekeeps the people who want big numbers like myself. So what you say of the hyperbole could probably be correct.
The exchange shop alone is very lackluster in the amount of time you have to put into it for what you get out.
Thanks for the constructive comment
if they keep doing this shit, its better not play the game tbh..
wait for that free decold stuff and gear.. lul
@@adamh4h4 😂😂 at least genshin have good music and the gears long lasting even though the rng is still terrible af
Yeah kinda glad I stopped playing shortly after launch. This game was clearly a cash cow for Sega from the get go. Sad...such a waste of a game.
Lol nvm lemme just save my time and uninstall.
Honestly I agree and I disagree. I agree that the requirements are too expensive and unrealistic, but I have to disagree that it is gatekeeping whatsoever.
First off, they gave us access to 3 free red box units that have Decold pot 3 on each for free. Second, you only need 2 Decold stats to hit 100% since you get 30% from food and 20% from mag. Third, you don’t NEED the Decold pot 3s to do ancients whatsoever. They have really cheap boosters for trade and drop like candy in Lost central, and also you can use the normal Decold and probably lose 5% potency at most, and that does not make the difference of whether you’re able to do ancients or not.
Again though, I agree the cost of almost everything in the shop is ridiculous, I think it’s totally unfair to call it gatekeeping with so many different f2p friendly options that require little to 0 build investment.
Also, another thing to consider with things not transferring for Kaizaar: I think it’s a possibility that SEGA didn’t anticipate people getting Kaizaar this early, as to how they’ve very strictly limited blizzardium, with of course the player base figuring out 1 unique exception of farming a specific T. If this is the case, then it could be a bug and not transferring being unintended because without that 1 specific snowboard T, I think it would be a month from now that anyone would have their first Kaizaar.
Yup, your points are correct.
They do give us 3 units, but they do have decold tech/might/prec and one of them may not apply to your class' damage.
And yes, you could get food buff and mag buff for 50% and use consumable tickets to get the other 50% for harsh environment buff, if you don't have decold at all, but those are limited to time and limited to how many you can farm.
But when I say gatekeep, I don't kinda mean ancients specifically, but I definitely don't make it clear in the video, so I apologize on that. I agree that the task itself isn't fully gate kept, but being able to make good units a weapons that are optimal definitely is. Especially for a task that will be rendered useless once people get enough icicle orbs.
Creating decold might already requires 5 overused expensive augments, which in turn will throw demand way over supply (if people can unlock the exchange shop in the first place). It especially sucks for f2p because they have a very limited pool of Meseta and resources. So now they either have to remove a decent augment from their old unit to put decold standard and lose the money and effort they put into getting it, or use the new box unit have reaffix/upgrade with new material they may not have really available due to lack of funds and resources. Those tickets to help are such a hassle and lasts one hour, including when you log off, ancients also have a limited spawn and can take 5-10 mins to kill. You literally get 2-3 kills in that buffs hour. And you probably get 1-3 cubes pretty kill
, is it? Man its just ridiculous.
For the kaizar weapon, it honestly doesn't matter if someone gets it early or not. Especially for a f2p player, good luck to them doing it trying to buy a rokz, and secondly if they did try to use it, now they have to spend a good chunk of money and resources to get good augments again. Sega definitely knew what they were doing especially considering base PSO2 let you transfer everything from enchantment level to augments. Think about it, you get your KAIZER weapon then what? You won't be on as much so Sega wants you to stay on for a bit more longer by needing to upgrade again. Then lose money and resources so you have to grind more to build up those funds.
Sucks but yes, you are correct ancients is not gatekept, but having good stats and forcing people to ditch damage to play end game content sucks
@@PigeonLyfe Again…..the temp resist items are infinitely farmable, so I don’t see how anyone can call them limited in acquisition. And they are so easy to get, they drop like candy for free. When you say “They FORCE us to ditch damage for endgame content”…..again that’s not true with how many different options they give us for surviving in the gorge.
On the red box units, you only need 2 Decold affixes to hit 100% if you don’t want to use consumables. Since you only need 2 units with Decold, then even if you ONLY ever play 1 damage type, you only miss out on 2-2.5% potency because you’re guaranteed that 1 or those 2 free units matches your potency needed, so 2-2.5% is pretty negligible. But if you even just play 2 wep types, then you aren’t even really missing out on any potency affix wise, as a f2p or a whale min maxer.
For the f2p arguement….I personally haven’t met a single totally f2p player on a ‘limited’ budget that min maxes and uses addi capsules and whatnot, to where if they weren’t using BiS affixes they might not even miss out on their builds by much at all from using Decold standard if they wanted to go that route.
Yes Rokz can be expensive but they aren’t that rare. Even price wise, a week ago they were 20mil, most got down to 5mil ish or less before the ancient update, then they went back up to almost 10 mil from buy surge, now within a couple days they are back before 5 mil, I have seen a couple less than a mil again already as of this morning. Yes I know prices will vary from ship to ship, but most f2p players won’t have be close to getting their Kaizaar for another 5or 6 weeks through natural blizzardium progression. So by that time, at the current market rate, there is a VERY high chance that most, if not all, Rokz will be very cheap and very affordable for F2p players by the time they would be needed them anyways.
I don’t think it’s accurate to say that a player ‘needs’ these things just to have ‘decent’ gear. Evoleclipse is still totally viable, even against ancients. Losing 2.5% potency, even on a min maxed build, is still totally viable and doesn’t lock you from anything. Red box units are still totally viable and totally free.
The biggest thing, is you don’t NEED that extra potency for literally anything NGS has to offer yet, unless you are trying to solo speed run ancients which I think would apply to less than 1% of the overall player base. It’s not like NGS has HTPD, or Sodam Depth 100 yet, so it literally prevents you from doing nothing.
But yeah, I still agree that the equilizer requirement is really b.s. Not gatekeeping though. I haven’t really heard anyone say anything about the Croc kills requirement being annoying or part of the frustration, just the equilizers. Which makes me think it’s the specific task that people don’t like. I think if they had made the 2nd step to kill any 3 bosses in the gorge it would’ve been much better instead. Or even if they just gave everyone who finished the kvar story the shop for free, since you don’t anything for free and it’s such a huge grind players should have access to see what they need as early as possible.
Last I don’t think it’s fair to assume what SEGA is thinking without actually having mind reading powers. Hence why I talked about the possibility of SEGA not anticipating players getting Kaizaar this early, which apparently you don’t think is a possibility which is fine, to each their own. I do agree with your thoughts that it could also be a possibility that things not transferring was intended to keep players grinding too, but honestly I could see it going either way because of disconnected SEGA has been with the player base since NGS launch, and also how many oversights with things they’ve had in NGS.
The pso2 comparison is dumb. Why? Do you remember how much of a hassle it was to get the good augments in vanilla. Mix this and that and have a 10% chance to get and on top of that you can down slot if your rng sucks. Personally play the game casually and enjoy ff7 it's on steam now.
endgame g-soul affixes were easier than affixing on ngs lol
How is the pso2 comparison dumb?
You make a good point saying affixing sucks in base compared to NGS. So it's okay to go backwards on some upgrading weapons by removing all enhancements and augments?
Why not keep things that were good the same or improved on, like affixing?
Sure affixing is easy but price wise it's still just as expensive...
I'll take having 3 pieces of gear with the affix I want on it for a 100% chance over needing literally 1000 plus capsules to trade in for a 10% chance any day.
@@ChaiXKnees good point
Tell me you have never grinded for a psychowand palette on psu without telling me
This isn't about grinding a weapon that won't be obsolete in a few months.
I've grinded plenty of games, I'm not even disappointed about trying to grind the rugged series, where only 4 have dropped in all of global so far. But grinding for this weapon you need to play snowboarder simulator which is boring as hell.
I literally grinded 4 days of frostyl to only get like 4 frost iii and around 15-20 first ii souls
Which is roughly 6. Now they expect me to do that with Gigas might 3. Lul
tell me you don't understand the difference between an endgame wep and a non-endgame wep without telling me.
