Ok now that i am done with my initial meltdown towards the game, let's try to get a bit civil again.

Game recap since PSO2:NGS launch:

goods:

-Lots of promises and potential (unfortunately wasted).

bads:

-Literally plains of eidolon all over again.

-The removal of fun points leading to every non premium players, you heard me right non premium players not just f2p's to get booted off the player market completely (to "combat RMT bots" which isn't even working in the first place and instead causes mass inflation Venice style).

-Power hungry GM's that will ban you just because you said something mean on twitter and the forums that "hurt their feelings" (and no, it's not even for the n word).

-The rehiring of the episode 5 director which lead the game to an unbalanced mess and even though i wasn't there to witness it myself, i am witnessing it now.

-Overmonetization.

-Slow updates which is filled to the brim with literally nothing but more empty lands (where have i heard of this before).

-Remember the oversensitive power hungry staff? The official game forums now closed because they can't stand their pride being nearly in shambles.

-Server state still terrible, takes around 3-5 minutes to actually get in and play and even so there's still a lot of rubberbanding.

-Overall losing most of their community in just 1/4 of a year time.

Current state of the game:

All time low. Players quitting and uninstalling en mass, and that road map they made since launch seems nigh impossible to achieve if this continues since the big update drops at winter but with the current player count, i doubt it'll survive till then. It'll take a miracle for this game to flourish now since they also did ban most whales during said GM's tantrum. And lets not get into discussing about the current director because he's going to drive this game into the challenger's deep by January.

Pretty big brain move i must admit Sega, you can't have bad rep if you don't have players.


Sentence:

Put it down lads, a three legged puppy is not a happy puppy.
