r/PSO2NGS

As someone that has played base game, and has seen the freedom that you can have with all the PA/TA, which in my opinion was really nice because it gave you a lot of freedom and versatility of what you want to to work with, giving you more expressive choice with the abilities that you have, see that NGS only has four of them is a bit of a letdown in my opinion and we should have more, I'm just wondering why do people like this over simplicity not having any freedom all the option to choose what you want to use

Mainly because the mobs in the alter realm have way too much HP compared to LTQ mobs. The Waulon LTQ was something fun and relaxing that you could do after a long day of work. The Alter realm farming feels like a chore and takes too long.

I just did all ship matchmaking and timed how long it took to trigger a PSE burst. When i entered the room, it was 4 players and the PSE bar was 1/5, but the room quickly went up to 7/8. It took 14 minutes to clear a pse burst + encore. I made 30k raw meseta , and got some junk klirodims and one progre armor. I am up to 3x pse bursts with no Rappy trial in sight. Needless to say, Dext Base r1 blows it out of the water.

Unless you have a top dps room, this is absolutely awful rewards for the time spent. The Waulon LTQ was at least fun and you could do a few runs a day without it feeling like a chore, and pug groups consistently averaged 8 minutes or less for me. The Alter realm feels like a huge waste of time.

It really wouldn't be that bad if the mobs had the same HP as LTQ mobs...and i'm confused as to why they don't since this is supposed to replace LTQs for the next two weeks. This is supposed to be the regular casual content that everyone can enjoy, but it's simply not worth farming without a top DPS group.

Or they could have made the Rappy trial a 100% chance to spawn, then you would be guaranteed some rewards in the form of beta reactors.

Now that skill rings have have been around long enough for the first batch to sell for dirt cheap, I'm assuming most of us have settled into one or two pairs. I'm also assuming that people either picked something specifically to synergize with their EX Skills or something that's easy to keep active with the way they play. I am, above all, curious.

As for myself. I'm running Shortage HP Starling II, Turnover II, and Maintain Balance II on my weapon, with Patient Amp/Follow +5 as my Skill Rings. With Waker as a sub(and occasionally main) class I get an *extremely* tanky build at 50% HP. Gives me more room to fuck up and lets me intentionally eat attacks that would normally kill me, so that I don't have to cancel my own to avoid them. And with Maintain I have no issues staying at 50% or less to keep everything active.

Telphias currently do not drop by themselves, you have to use 50x heinsdia + 10x ultias to make them.

Right now, Heinsida costs about 50k and Ultias cost about 120k on ship 1. So it takes about 3.7m worth of mats to make a Telphia.

But Telphias only sell for 2.4m now. In other words, there is no point making Telphia to sell or use when you make more selling the heinsdia and ultias seperately...

I don't get it, why is the market behaving like this? Also, why is the price of heinsida not dropping like a rock now that it's the weekend + we have a double UQ dropping heinsdia? The last weekend we had, prices of Evalto and new rings dropped like a rock once people started farming the UQ the whole day.

I'll admit I've been out of the game for a few years. Are they any closer to tying this into the original PSO2 storyline more clearly or is it still just vague references and hints?
