As a solo casual that makes use of low end gear I like how they utilized the new area with it being a timed exploration where my actions doesn't affect other players as much comapred to other content while still rewarding my efforts in either gear or mats i usually don't farm for but need while giving me a challenge against enemies that could one shot me. For my thoughts on the aug transfer debacle, if you have a weapon that already has great augs that works for you or currently working on one, just keep focusing on that weapon and just farm the new weapons till you get one with the perfect EX augs and sit on that till the system changes (if it does) or slowly build that one up with LC augs and sit on that one till sega drops a new set of weapons and then tranfer all those augs to your new weapon.
Great input! I'm glad that that you've been utilizing nameless city and that it has provided you a space to feel more comfortable in as a casual player who might not be the best geared! It's important that we have areas like these and systems like these that enable casual players to enjoy the game as well!
lol The first time I saw a stack of 10+ Eredims in my inventory, I asked Sega to give us loot filters so that we don't have to manually examine each one
I've already got what augments I wanted on my wingard weapon, except for the lc but I'm just waiting for the support scratch to replace them. Next maintenance I will upgrade my eredim to +90 when it's cheaper and replace the lc's when the support scratch comes. So I'm all set up for it just waiting. As far as selling the eredims I'm just selling them for 1k regardless of the ex augments to help the newer players get what they need. I got bis (except for lux and glan) so far as I'm concerned I'm happy with what I got.
There we go! Good stuff and sounds like you had a solid gameplan placed out there that implements the use of patience. Which is always a benefit! I'm looking forward to the enhance as well to further continue my upgrading progress! And thank you for just selling your eredims at 1k regardless to help out newer players! Unfortunately however, we all know scalpers are just going to find the desired ones & then mark them up to ridiculous prices. Then again, if they have the patience to go through the endless sea of Eredims to find a specific set, then perhaps they deserve to do what they want with it 😂😂
@@SpikesxuI learned very quickly that once I'm done with the new stuff I immediately start on getting materials and augments right away for the newer stuff that will come out. As far as who buys what I sell it doesn't matter much to me, I just want everyone to get geared up and have fun. It's only a game and one day the servers will go down, might as well make it enjoyable for everyone that plays.
@@Dark_Zeraora A great mindset! Increase the enjoyability for everyone! I'm similar in that I play the game because I enjoy it, so I never actually buy craftable augments. Because I generally always just have the mats laying around. When you play the game, you naturally just end up gathering these things without trying to. So when new things come out, there's never really any stress & there's much room for flexibility!
can’t help but feel a little slapped in the face with the transfer system. have to re augment everything from scratch, and all of the grinding I put in for the augs is just out the window. W for new players BIG L for grinders like me with limited time to play and limited meseta who put in the work to get bis. meanwhile newer players keep getting handouts to reach the same level I worked so hard for before the patch
It's only an L if you actually erase all your stuff. And that being said, it's only the weapon. Thing is though, that no one is forcing anyone to erase all their augs. People are making the conscious choice to do so. New players are still going to have to travel leaps and bounds to get 3 units full of top tier augments. I always say to focus on your units first before your weapon, as they will last much longer and have much great usage. A new player or one who only utilizes the handouts will still be literal light years away from anyone who actually puts time into auging. Even with the Eredim. Also keep in mind that Eredim performs at around the same level as Xover. With Wingard still being the clear cut winner. Ultimately, the EX Augs and their accessibility allows people to comfortably try classes they haven't tried before. This is good, because it promtoes more ways to play. All that being said, of course, yes, the way the EX Aug Transfer was implemented was indeed unfortunate.
@@Spikesxu Because of how strong the baseline potency of the EX augs are and how useful the effects can be, it's pretty much a forced change for people that remotely care about gear. However, I think it makes some business sense for them to do it this way so that they could keep a sort of status quo on augments and grinding in the long term after releasing augment passes, especially since you now require less of them moving forward and will retain value on a single set of augments for much longer. If they allowed you to freely keep whichever normal augments during transfer like many players wanted, it would remove much of the importance and marketability of the augmentation system, especially for people that do not use more than one set of equipment. This way you'd at least have to go through a full wipe once and whenever they will add a series that has a higher amount of droppable EX augs, resulting in another paradigm shift at some point in the future. Over time, I think it's a small measure to counteract how good people would have it with augment transfer being a thing, aside from how limited they may be handing out the passes. The most egregious issue in my opinion is their timing, with it being so close after dropping anaddi and knowing people would throw them on immediately, and generally with how expensive it has been in the past months due to glan. Would've at least been less of an issue if they pushed anaddi back a couple of weeks. Also, it is likely that we'll also have to suffer a wipe on units since they are also mentioned in the EX augment processes. That would hurt much more if they do so by the time they release the next units, so I hope it won't be anytime soon. Anyway, thanks for the videos; I appreciate your view on the game.
@@royuz Thank you for your response and great input on the matter! I definitely agree that the biggest issue was the timing. The timing was just really horrible and that's what really caused the big issue & uproar. You definitely understand the importance of the system from the longevity standpoint though. We'll see how they incorporate the units, and if the process is the same. We'll cross that bridge when we get there, as only time can tell. A great read, and thank you for enjoying my videos and views on the game! Once again, thank you for your input!
You can't search for specific augment combinations on the personal shop. You can only search for the weapon itself. But in regards to EX Augments, the weapon type is irrelevant. As you just need any Eredim series with ex augs to transfer. So you're stuck scrolling through a list of endless Eredim trying to find the specific augs you're looking for lol.
@@Spikesxu you can dude... trust me that way i found my combinations that has the lowest price atleast for the EX augs its more convenient check it out... can't put screen shot here tho...
@@koishi08 Oh wow. You can. I thought you could only do so if you had the item already in your inventory & you use the check item/augment price then select the augs. But yea I just played around with it right now and looks like that does indeed work when you use the multiple search function. See though, the average person wouldn't know that they could do that though. Hell, I didn't even know it and I'm far from the average person 😂😂😂😂. Learn something new every day lol
The storage solution is in the money. The problem been created is the storage space. Well, isnt it lucky you can pay to hire out more storage space, hey!? I know it sounds negative, but from a business standpoint it makes sense. My method is popping RDR boosters, playing for an hour until it runs out, then filtering the loot out and selling the rest off. My concern is how its currently handled for weapons needs to be addressed for armour when they release it for those (if they do) so that people don't feel cheated out of upgrading their gear fully now, to get punished later on by having the EX transfer let you select what augs to remove, like you said. Overall, the way the content split is going is almost there. Having Purples for gigas, city for eredim, TEQ's for Genesis Points, MDFA for Aegis caps and DFD for Wingard copium. I want to see some of the forgotten content revived with purpose. (Trinitas both ranks, Ordinal Tower etc)
Great input! And indeed, it would be a really big issue if this same thing happens with units. I don't think it will though, if, like you said, we even get this with units. I'd imagine they hear the outroar right now with how it was handled, and wouldn't let that happen with the units. We'd hope anyway lol. Definitely have indeed been enjoying the direction the game has been going though & with the many ways to play as you touched on! & definitely would indeed be neat to see some of the forgotten content revived in new ways.
Ive been making bank off this content if its decent fixa or 2/3 Ex combos. Also for your collection Eredim your going to be tossin out 90% of those if they arent fixa fodder.
I dunno. I still feel powerful enough as is with my Tisah weapons. The fact that I farm for meseta every day in the usual combat sectors for example can sadly still alienate players without doing it on purpose because of already obtained power before Eredim. Being a soloer has it's unfortunate ups and downs as I still don't really see a lot of farming activity outside the usual meta stuff released unless you're in an active guild or actually have friends to do that necessary stuff with. (Not to have mine or any other person's efforts for acquiring and holding onto old rares like Tisah be mistaken for that of bargain gear given for free.) I personally think the Eredim is just a trending flex atm like how the Tisah series once was. Some weapons I personally enjoy for their unique effects even though they are low in base numbers until leveled and fully augmented. Also, you have to understand that the prices for better augments on Ship 2 can be brutal as hell. So naturally, I still choose to use my old gear regardless of the latest meta. I ALSO know that shortcuts exist, but we all know that RMT is wrong and that no one's ever notably donating free millions of their own meseta or anything to that extent. So I guess what I'm trying to say here is... we have to be comfortable with your own gear regardless of the newer expectations just so long as we are not gatekeeping people that are willing, leeching off players that legitimately put those triboost hours in or oddly encounter those who troll by dying a lot because they had no gear equipped. There are even those who would go so far to sabotage combat sectors where the pse meter was already at four bars, to which they leave and reappear just to snipe the pse burst/encore. It's... very frustrating at times be it if you're hardcore or even just casual farming. Even as a soloer, but we do what we can with our combined efforts as best as we can to enjoy the game/content at our own pace.
Hello! I would first like to note that Tisah is a heavily dated weapon. So whilst I understand your attachment to it, it would be highly advised to upgrade to something more recent if you're playing in areas where you're with others. I'd go to at least assume that your Tisah is Fixa 5, yes? This still puts it at a heavy disadvantage to everything else, but at least helps. In any of recent UQs, you're adding at least 3-4 minutes onto the fight by using a Tisah if it's not Fixa 5. While it's important to be comfortable with your own gear, it's also important to understand why & when you should upgrade. PSO2 NGS is a vertical game, which means that gear readily outdates itself. Eredim's are too easily obtainable to not take advantage of. Not only this, but they come with 3 top-tier augments already affixed onto them. There is little to no excuse to not be using something more current when these are virtually free. You can get one of these, have 3 top-tier augments already on it in the form of EX's, slap some free LC Augs onto it like Halphinale LC & Gladia Soul LC & a cheap Triyal 3.5% augment onto it & call it a day until you can obtain some better augs. This is all under the understanding of if you're doing anything with other players in a public area. If you're strictly soloing, and you go into urgent quests solo by creating password rooms & solo uqs, as well as do PSE's solo by creating a password room & do PSEs solo or with consenting friends, then it's not hurting anybody and by all means play at your own pace. But if that is not the case, please consider upgrading. While there is a point where people upgrade to "flex", there is also a point where people upgrade to at least stay current. You don't have to or need to be the super try-hard, but you need to at least be conscious of your own impact and how your gearing options or lackthereof can impact not only yourself but others around you. For instance, back when Dark Falz Aegis (The original one) Urgent Quest first came out, the gearing disparity was so bad between players who actually cared to at least have decent gear, vs those who did not, that the times in that fight would fluctuate tremendously. And when I say tremendously, I mean tremendously. A at least "decent" group would clear that UQ in 10-15 minutes. Whereas a standard public group at the time, which often consisted of players who didn't care about staying somewhat current, would literally take that fight 30-45 minutes. That is a HUGE time difference and so much more could be done in your day with that extra 15-20 minutes. So while I'm all for playing the game the way you want to play it, and I absolutely do promote that, just please do be mindful of others when it comes to public areas/settings. As, not everyone may have as laxed time constraints as others, and that's why they may get upset when there's a lack of efficiency. No one wants to spend 30 minutes in an UQ when they could've spent 10 minutes in it.
@@Spikesxu Hi again. I am very well aware of most things that you've mentioned and I do appreciate your time and feedback on this topic. Without a doubt, I am still attempting to learn more about other unique styles as I play which lead to my own. Yes, I do have fixa 5 across all of my "dated" weapons which I am well aware of, but I don't mind. I definitely have absolutely no trouble in The Nameless City at all. I am able to still do huge dmg with my all-rounder set with no weakness to the elements as your armor should be up to date naturally. Eredim is tempting, don't get me wrong. I do have plenty saved up across my alts. I've seen some augment vids that definitely made me believe that I have the right idea to just wait it out a bit longer and do more research in hopes to understand those effect conditions for better usage of them. I'm sure we all have gotten plenty of them each run and knowing what's effective is always going to take some time towards our own preferences. We did get free augment tickets and people have lost a great deal of their augments in the beginning thinking they weren't going to lose anything in the process at first. Which is unfortunate but like all MMORPG's, we'll eventually find what we're looking for regarding that ideal setup. As for DPS? Well, I've learned personally over the years since the JP server days on PS Vita, PS4 Episode 4 import and later Global on the first X-Box One console. DPS anything is more a heavily PC player focus where a Console player doesn't load nearly as fast which will make doing LTQs very impossible without a PC player thinking you're possibly leeching where you're actually trapped in a load screen which overall sucks. Any console player will tell you that outright when partied up with a PC player as lead. I'm sure it may be better now if you're using the latest console, but it definitely was a life lesson back then and still is based on which console you're using. Being a PC player is it's own luxury regarding speed. If there was a way to overclock a console and still play like a PC player does when even doing those base time attacks back in Base JP, I'm sure people would've done it by now but unfortunately, I do not have that luxury at all lol. As for that last part, I definitely understand where you're coming from. Thankfully, I really don't do EQs/UQs like that as the lootpool is honestly god awful outside of PSO2 Day in NGS. It's like putting in a lot of effort and limited resources for a shiny penny. We've all done the Mining Rig Defense ranks in NGS in the beginning to understand fully that level of PTSD. Especially, regarding how bad the communication is in pug groups if it's your first time with a skeleton crew party or among randos. But yeah, I understand that passwords are ideal when you're attempting to meet your own quota out of curiosity or just to make it a routine thing. But yeah, with that said. Thanks for taking the time to read all this.
@@hollownostalgia743 No worries on the taking the time to read your response! I enjoy good dialogue & good discussion. I believe it's important that people have dialogue such as this so that they may better understand each other and differing issues/viewpoints!
@@SpikesxuThere is only like 3 Ex builds the rest are extremely situational they are class specific. You are better off using a setup that benefits all classes rather than one. I play one class and managed to find the perfect combo for 20k meseta.
My view on this update is that the First Descendant needs to hurry the hell up. Im trying my hardest to enjoy this game since the update but its still just as boring as when i quit months ago. Ill be using agentkul weapons untill the First Descendant comes out because i know if i ever lose more braincells and decide to play pso2 ngs again ill have a better weapon for free waiting for me.
Sounds like it might be time for you to take another long break & just wait for the First Descendent, because that's what you really want. 😂.Nothing's going to satisfy the itch if that's what you're truly waiting for and your mind has been set that, that's all you care about. It's all about the mindset~

As, not everyone may have as laxed time constraints as others, and that's why they may get upset when there's a lack of efficiency. No one wants to spend 30 minutes in an UQ when they could've spent 10 minutes in it.
@@Spikesxu Hi again.
I am very well aware of most things that you've mentioned and I do appreciate your time and feedback on this topic. Without a doubt, I am still attempting to learn more about other unique styles as I play which lead to my own. Yes, I do have fixa 5 across all of my "dated" weapons which I am well aware of, but I don't mind. I definitely have absolutely no trouble in The Nameless City at all. I am able to still do huge dmg with my all-rounder set with no weakness to the elements as your armor should be up to date naturally.
Eredim is tempting, don't get me wrong. I do have plenty saved up across my alts. I've seen some augment vids that definitely made me believe that I have the right idea to just wait it out a bit longer and do more research in hopes to understand those effect conditions for better usage of them. I'm sure we all have gotten plenty of them each run and knowing what's effective is always going to take some time towards our own preferences. We did get free augment tickets and people have lost a great deal of their augments in the beginning thinking they weren't going to lose anything in the process at first. Which is unfortunate but like all MMORPG's, we'll eventually find what we're looking for regarding that ideal setup.
As for DPS? Well, I've learned personally over the years since the JP server days on PS Vita, PS4 Episode 4 import and later Global on the first X-Box One console. DPS anything is more a heavily PC player focus where a Console player doesn't load nearly as fast which will make doing LTQs very impossible without a PC player thinking you're possibly leeching where you're actually trapped in a load screen which overall sucks. Any console player will tell you that outright when partied up with a PC player as lead. I'm sure it may be better now if you're using the latest console, but it definitely was a life lesson back then and still is based on which console you're using. Being a PC player is it's own luxury regarding speed. If there was a way to overclock a console and still play like a PC player does when even doing those base time attacks back in Base JP, I'm sure people would've done it by now but unfortunately, I do not have that luxury at all lol.
As for that last part, I definitely understand where you're coming from. Thankfully, I really don't do EQs/UQs like that as the lootpool is honestly god awful outside of PSO2 Day in NGS. It's like putting in a lot of effort and limited resources for a shiny penny. We've all done the Mining Rig Defense ranks in NGS in the beginning to understand fully that level of PTSD. Especially, regarding how bad the communication is in pug groups if it's your first time with a skeleton crew party or among randos. But yeah, I understand that passwords are ideal when you're attempting to meet your own quota out of curiosity or just to make it a routine thing. But yeah, with that said. Thanks for taking the time to read all this.
@@hollownostalgia743 No worries on the taking the time to read your response! I enjoy good dialogue & good discussion. I believe it's important that people have dialogue such as this so that they may better understand each other and differing issues/viewpoints!
Just sell anything without fixa and good aug combination
Easier said than done unless you're specifically only looking for one particular aug combination/only play one class. 😂
@@SpikesxuThere is only like 3 Ex builds the rest are extremely situational they are class specific. You are better off using a setup that benefits all classes rather than one. I play one class and managed to find the perfect combo for 20k meseta.
My view on this update is that the First Descendant needs to hurry the hell up. Im trying my hardest to enjoy this game since the update but its still just as boring as when i quit months ago. Ill be using agentkul weapons untill the First Descendant comes out because i know if i ever lose more braincells and decide to play pso2 ngs again ill have a better weapon for free waiting for me.
Sounds like it might be time for you to take another long break & just wait for the First Descendent, because that's what you really want. 😂.Nothing's going to satisfy the itch if that's what you're truly waiting for and your mind has been set that, that's all you care about. It's all about the mindset~
