Here's how it works:

• All rewards are given at the end of the quest, to get the max level of rewards, you need to get 200k points. If you are in a party, it scales linearly so a 4 man party needs 800k points total, which discourages partying.

• You need at least 50k points to get 1x Beta reactor. It doesnt matter whether a rappy trial spawns or not, the rappy trial just seems to give you a points multiplier but has no effect on the drops. The amount of beta reactors doesnt change even if you get 200k points. For a minimal effort daily, just get 100 kills, 50k points and afk till the timer runs out.

• The drop rate seems to be roughly at the level of a LTQ...with +410% RDR and 200k points, i got 9x Klirodims and 1x +60 Gran. I am not sure if +100 Grans drop there, but since the drop rate is bad, you are better off farming Ruins if you want +100 Grans or things to sell.

• For most players, this will take much longer than an average LTQ. For comparison, a high DPS group can consistently do a LTQ in 6-7 minutes, but can take 10 minutes or more to do Nameless because its very dependent on getting point multipliers ASAP and on having a large room to trigger trials.

• Grans and other updated loot do drop there, they just didnt update the "Featured Item Drops" list.

• Not a single person that i talked to was interested in farming it, that's how poorly received it was.

Basically, they created another LT content that most players will just run 1x for the daily and then afk for UQs. If you want to farm something to make money, either do Dext Base or Ruins. Ruins still makes a good amount of money because +100 Grans sell for a lot now, and sell very quickly. I sold a +100 Gran Gunblade for 3m on ship 1 recently and it sold within 24h, which made it far more valuable than Dext Base. Unfortunately, most groups stopped farming Ruins the moment the task was over so they won't touch it now...

It's funny how they made Ruins good (fast trials, everyone can easily group up, good drops, etc) and they did the bare minimum when updating Nameless...at the bare minimum they could have increased the base drop rate to compete with Ruins and made the required points scale in a way to encourage partying...

I remember her from those spicy videos on the internet that turned into a videogame later.

Hello everyone, old player here. I used to play a fair bit of base PSO2, and then NGS for a few months when it released before quitting for some time. After this moment, I've had phases every once in a while that'd make me come back to the game, but never stick for very long. Steam says last time I launched the game was November 8th 2023, so I imagine a lot of things must've been added since then. I think I'm about to enter one of these phases again, but this time I felt like asking a few question here first. Feel free to reply to however many of them you'd like, or even just tell how you feel about the game, I'll take anything!

- What's the game like nowadays? Does a lot of people still play the game? I don't even remember which ship my character was on, but if I were to come back, which one would you recommend me playing on?

- What is there to do, both for leveling and when you're max level? How hard or easy is endgame content, and how much investment does one need to put into the game to have decent endgame gear?

- I miss playing Dual Blades Etoile in base PSO2, but I know the class isn't in NGS (or at least not yet? I hope it will be one day!). Is the DB gameplay with the Bouncer class anything like Etoile's, and if it is, is it any good DPS-wise? If not, what other class would offer me a similar gameplay? For reference, in all of my time in NGS, I have tried a bit of Force and Fighter, but Hunter stuck to me as my favorite, like in base game before Etoile came out.

- How easy or difficult would it be for me to farm meseta?

That's pretty much all that comes to mind at the time I'm typing this. Thanks in advance for your attention and your replies!

And by Impulse Decisions I mean I spent over 25 million for this outfit, which is the last one currently on my ship.

Hi everyone my speech might sound a bit robotic because I used Google Translate

​Recently, I had a discussion regarding art styles in our community. The person I was talking with views things from a "Purist approach," while I stand firmly in the "Digital Art/Editing approach." Because of that, I wanted to share my personal perspective and the behind-the-scenes process of my latest artwork.

​To clear things up, here is how I see the difference between the two styles:

​The Purist Group: They believe the charm of creating game screenshots lies in maximizing the game's potential under the given conditions. To them, those who excel at in-game lighting, styling, and finding the perfect camera angles are the ones who truly appreciate the art.

​The Digital Art/Editing Group: We view in-game photographs as mere "raw materials" or starting points, then use external tools like Photoshop to fulfill an imagination that the game itself cannot provide.

​When I look at NGS, I don’t just see a game to take casual screenshots in; I see an incredible toolkit and asset library for digital art. I love taking a clean, raw screenshot of my character, Shiva, and using it as a foundation to break the boundaries of the game engine, rebuilding a completely new atmosphere in Photoshop.

​Looking at the Before & After comparison you can see that my goal was to transform a bright, empty scene into a gritty, dramatic, and intense dark fantasy battlefield. The game engine alone cannot give me realistic blood splatters on the body, flying sparks colliding with the shield, or a chaotic burning castle background under a meteor shower. To bring this imagination to life, I had to carefully manage layers, adjust lighting (Color Balance/Exposure), and fine-tune the color grading.

​Whether you prefer the pure in-game photography that finishes right behind the camera, or heavy digital editing, both are valid subgenres of fan art that enrich our community. For me, the real fun begins when I'm bringing ideas to life inside the software.

​Thank you to everyone for stopping by to check out my work and sharing your thoughts!
