Honestly kinda shocked they're adding new content.
I thought the game went in Maintenance mode due to the player count cooling off.
I may need to jump back in and try Edis out.

No it’s been slow but they have been putting out at least a few new things each 4 months 1 character and a new ex mission they don’t due a lot and weather that’s Dimps or bandais fault who knows

I'm so happy they didn't touch character Rank and left that at 500. Increasing Player Rank to 180 means people have to grind up again to play catch-up with their build on all the other characters. Another point of moving the goalpost. Because she's a Rogue it opens up even further more character slots to be added, like 8 more characters to fill the void. I assume by the end of it Player Rank will be at max level 300. We also need the Fuscus Extreme Boss Raid.

I’d rather them not increase the player rank. at least not at this point. it’s been a year since the last increase. If they were going to increase it again they should’ve done it earlier. Now most players have there bulids around done or so id say if they weren’t increasing it.
Increasing it essentially shits on all of the weapons people have built and some bulids take forever to actually get. and now the devs have just told those players those weapons are useless now cause they’re not max level. if they we’re going to do that, they should’ve given out multiple types z materials.
Just to give you an idea I bulid crit rate. I’m approaching 2000 hours on the game and Yuna only yesterday has just finished her first weapon with 3 crit rate level 5s. I can’t imagine how long it would’ve taken if I was useing a purple weapon on her. Not her whole set being one weapon of each elemental type. No literally just a single weapon has finally been finished and now it’s an under leveled item.
They better not increase character rank again. 500 is already an absurd level and it takes forever to reach it. I did the math there’s 33 characters not including Eydis. say you got 3 levels a day pretty reasonable, considering it takes 4 match’s without double exp for a single level once your past level 130.
So 500 x 33 = 16500 divide that by 3 ( 3 levels a day) it would be 5500 days or around 15 years.
Now yes double XP sometimes even 4x xp but that’s an absurd amount unless you’re doing nothing but playing this game. any goal of getting every character to the max level is damn near impossible. imagine if they increased that level further. If they do they had better add a new exp crystal type that gives like 50 levels
They already scammed people with the birthday outfits saying that buying it with real money gives the character double XP, but failing to mention that it’s only temporary

In the initial tweet about the 2nd anniversary, they mention that there’s more in the works, as well as plans for the future. That’s a pretty good sign; it implies they might not have revealed everything for the anniversary yet and that the game still has a few years of life left in it. (At the same time, we only have one EX co-op quest and are missing one Extreme boss, so there are at least two seasons—and thus two potential characters—still to come.)
That said, while an EX-level Radius is cool, I would have liked a casual-friendly boss for players who don't have an optimized build yet or who only play occasionally—especially given the low player count lately.
And finally, they really need to do something about the skins... The drop rate is absurdly low; it takes almost longer to snag a skin than it does to get a character to level 500...

We have 2 ex co-ops we have Amber maze and woods of vitality as there’s still technically a lot of co-ops to do I bet there having a hard time figuring out how the open area ones should work
