View Full Version : My luck blows and rocks at the same time (Black Heart Hunt)

Well, yesterday I found a HIVE, and earlier today I found a Meteoric Metal. No Black Heart yet. T_T

I've been at it for almost 3 days now, running rank C Satellite of Darkness, and I've only come across 1 rare spawn, which yielded 2 Copernia and an Olpad. I can get the first block right a lot, but the second block hates me.

So far, I've gained 1 level (was approximately 45,000 exp away when I started) and at least 25,000 meseta.

Is there some trick to not getting ****ed over by Block 2?

Eliash

No trick...

Them's the works... those units are a pain to get, it seems.

Perhaps you need a little sexiness to lure them in more!

McLaughlin
Feb 1, 2007, 06:10 PM
Parn, would you join my party? I fear my metallic awesomeness is scaring them away. I think I need a fleshie.

Ill join in if you don't mind... want me to send you a FR?

McLaughlin

Sure. I probably won't be on much more today though. Big Physics test tomorrow and I need to ace it.

I'm holding out for Saturday to do that whole silly demo thing to try to get one of those Sonic statues, so I'm technically not online just yet. In the meantime, I'm clearing story mode for 360, now. I'm new to this whole Xbox 360 thing, and achievement points are really neat. Gives me that extra little something to work towards, even if it is kinda silly!

*Snicker*

This is why I gave up after 10 hours of running the Hive.

3 Days? Lol it's really not meant for you to get a black heart unit.

Mayhaps you should wait for another one to come out.

And I feel kinda bothered now.. I woulda long thought Sychosis would've made some kind of post, but I haven't seen any out of him..

Perhaps I shouldn't have told that kitten with the Uzi where he lived.. >.>

McLaughlin
Feb 1, 2007, 06:25 PM
Ah, good plan. I like Achievements too, even if I'll never get the "100 Longshot kills" in Gears of War. Can't hit the broad side of a barn with that thing T_T

Aha!

Darbelans see my Cast and think "WE GON' GET IT!", but if they see Nyasia, they'll think "*drool* zomg, t3h g1rlz!". Then I'll pop out and they say "OH ****, NOW WE REALLY GON' GET IT!"

I'll get the damn thing, just you watch. I got my J Sword, this is child's play in comparison...I hope >_>

I just joined an A run midway through today and saw 2 rare enemy spawns. Lucky me, I guess, although I didn't get any rares, I got a quite a bit of exp from them though ^_^

did HIVE for 2 days.Got 4 rares enemies but just stupid loots , no black heart...
2 intresting days ... and for nothing -_-

Knowbodie
Feb 1, 2007, 07:54 PM
I fought Darbelans spawns five times, 1 S run, 4 A runs, and 1 C run... 3 Olpads, 4 Copernias, 2 money drops, 1 Upteline and a Te/Tech Save. Of course i had a groups of friends join on my very first one...and one of them got a Te/Tech save (Sold for 750k with 5-6 A ranks)....shortly after that on my other spawn i got disconnected while fighting them. No blackheart....

McLaughlin
Feb 1, 2007, 07:56 PM
At least you can get them to spawn. I've gone 3 days with 1 spawn T_T

I think I'm gonna up it to B rank soon.

omegapirate2k
Feb 1, 2007, 08:04 PM
Is it confirmed that there is a higher chance of finding rare enemies on higher ranks? Because that might be your problem.

Tahldon

McLaughlin

I too must call it a day. Have to idle in a Custom Game in Halo2 to qualify for the Rule of 3 program to get into the Halo3 Beta. Plus I need to study.

Neith
Feb 1, 2007, 08:10 PM
I've been at this for around 20 hours total now, and seen one rare spawn, which dropped Copernia. I have found a HIVE, but no Meteoric Metal, but gained 4 levels from this so far.

I keep getting owned by Block 2 constantly, which is kinda annoying, but I guess I'll keep at it until it drops/I go insane, whichever comes first.

McLaughlin

I've met them 6x now in C,B and still got nothing this was my 4th day.... i guess i should quit because it dosn't look like im going to get it anytime soon....

I've gotten 6x meteoric metal, 4 cops, 2 olpad, and lotsa metsa, not to mention over 80,000 exp now -_-

from lvl 50-52/53

Feb 1, 2007, 09:30 PM
Except you don't register until the 5th, so http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

I was planning on getting Crackdown anyway. Cool game.

CrabRangoon
Feb 1, 2007, 09:49 PM
I thought that characters Luck had something do do with the rare map, as well as obviously having an effect on the chance of it dropping once the rare enemies do spawn. I recall the first guy posting up on here (Stixx? Sixx?) receiving his just hours into his Human Male character having Lv3 Luck. I farmed it for a short bit of time yesterday (as in starting and quitting if I didnt get the right map spawn, for ~2 hours), but for the most part, I was playing the HIVE because I can solo C and make 9 MP in about 11, maybe 12 minutes. I really appreciate the shot at ~.8MP/minute =D but it got old after just one day, I dont see how you guys can stand to keep on it and seek this item, I bore of the same mission too quickly =( but don't get me wrong, I seriously wish I had the same stamina and edge you guys keep up when doing the same run to farm something. I end up quitting to easily and too early on, so I never get particular drops I seek, or rare spawns, but thats what I get for being a quitter.
Next time I've got max luck, I tell you what, I'll definately be as persistant as possible in farming for this, just because I wanna make a pretty penny on it (and I'll take all the Meteoric Metal and Gems it has to throw at me too XD ).
Good luck to you all.

DarkAeon

A blackHeart search party! I'm down!

CrabRangoon
Feb 1, 2007, 10:06 PM
There wouldn't be enough to go around! That aint fair!
I have a better idea... everybody get on the same Uni (after all, there is that 360 meet-up tomorrow night on Uni15, you guys attending?) and have a race to the Black Heart!
Winner of the contest wins..... a Black Heart, that they had to find, of course =X
Hah, just an idea.

McLaughlin
Feb 1, 2007, 10:08 PM
Sure. Though, I haven't been finishing the missions T_T Maybe I outta >_>

And I mean, from Feb 1st to the 3rd, you need to play at least 3 hours of H2 multiplayer. Then, on February 5th you go to Halo3.com and register.

My opinion, i think it's easier to find the BH with a full party then being in solo runs

We'd be hunting up to 6 times longer though T_T

I don't think I'm mentally fortified for such a thing.

Definitely speeds up the process. :shrug: I'm game for playing with any PSOWers, though, so I wont be complaining. If the runs being done were B or A, at least the drops, cash, and experience would yield value, compared to doing a bunch of C's and getting a few 30-45M drops and 2*'s here and there.

Lol could be fun when someone else gets the item and puts it on in front of you.

It'll be fun to watch the War of the Worlds break out.

I'd say, let's all do search parties and whoever has received the BH must leave the party so someone els can have a chance at it.

Feb 1, 2007, 10:56 PM
I know none of you are gonna want to hear this but.....you should really wait for a 3 star luck day to do your hunting for rare spawns......why? Well what I have noticed is that after working my butt off trying to get rare rappy spawns for example on a day with little to no luck, I wasted 5 hours! Versus the day I had 3 star luck and it only took 1 hour to find my Rappy Noel's..... AND....I have since gotten the rappies 2 more times only I wasn't looking for them......I had 3 star luck and to my Shock http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif I ran into them....once on A rank De Ragan run and once with my lvl 4 Cast on Linear Lines which had 3 star luck that day......first run!

So....I seriously think if your gonna try for em at least try on a day with 3 star luck......I truely think it will reduce the time you have to spend looking

I found 8 rappies (2 spawns) today with 0 luck...yet I still don't have my Giga / Skill unit. I just restarted hunting for it after a little break. Rare hunting is hard work. It takes dedication, skill, and above all luck. All of which I don't have! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

I got something FAR more special than that. I got killed by megids with 20% dark armor on a C run. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

I pwn the HIVE.
No black heart yet...

But in total I have found 6 meteoric metals.
about 13 HIVE room deco's.
and 1 spawn of rappies.
and 3 spawns of that big dude who jumps alot.
But like you, I only got copernia and junk like that.

And I usually find a scape doll or kubara wood every run.

Howard_Moon
Feb 2, 2007, 10:36 AM

Trust me on this. And I can verify this on a very very well-tested aspect. 3-star luck has nothing to do with getting the rare map. I've tried it a lot, and I'll tell you from personal experience, you have just as much chance of coming up empty.

Howard_Moon
Feb 2, 2007, 12:09 PM

Akaimizu
Feb 2, 2007, 12:10 PM
No. It's pure unadulterated player not character luck. My 265 hours (level 54 character) with only 1 single rare map sighting, to my list says, "It'll come to you, when it feels like it comes to you."

Reiichi
Feb 2, 2007, 12:23 PM
It is very hard to be able to see the difference between what might be a 1% and 2% chance of a rare map spawn.

As for solo rare map hunting, I scored a better ratio of rare spawn maps / not rare spawn maps with 1 luck rather than 3 luck. But my sample data is small.

Have you all been just beating every map you enter, or use this/a similar chart?

McLaughlin
Feb 3, 2007, 05:56 PM
I've been using that chart, yes. I've only encountered 1 rare spawn (B-X) over the course of my 4 day hunt.

And no, I don't think the unit makes you impervious to Megid. It'd be nice to be proven wrong though http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Me and My bro both have been at this for about a
week, since they added SoD mission. I have only
encountered one rare map myself in that time.
while he has been through a total of 11 Rare maps
killing a total of 44 Darbelan. Still no BlackHeart
It's getting tough restarting the same mission over
and over again.. SEGA!! just let teh BH drop already

Wow Sega is evil for making a drop like this so impossibly difficult to get. I'm on 6 hours so far over the course of 2 days and I haven't had a single rare map. I hate quitting on this kind of thing..but it's just so mind numbingly dull.... I feel like a freaking zombie while mindlessly slaughtering and restarting the map over and over and over again.. It's not fun... http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

if so, it would have in the special effects area 'immune to incapitation'

Killed 16 Darbelans in 12 hours... (Emptyhanded)

I met someone yesterday with a Blackheart (PC/PS2)...
She said she got it on her second rare map in just 6 hours. T-T

(I have so much envy for her...)

I'm not quite sure "envy" is the word I'd use. I found bubcus today, so I'm going to play a little bit of Gears of War.

And by bubcus I mean not even a rare spawn. Been at it for almost 8 hours today T_T

Yeah i've heard both ways. I recal reading the post by the admin, but I've heard on two accounts that people with 3* luck have been finding the maps withing 1-2 hours, whereas today, I found it on my last run.

Nope all it does is make you look smoky and gives you End + 2 ,, That is all..

I was lucky enough to find mine very quickly but i spent 9 days looking for a 2nd one,,15 hours a day constantly restarting..

I gave up now but its really not worth the hassle guys trust me lol

Yeah I've been using that map Obsidian. But I've noticed that the map on psupedia http://psupedia.info/index.php?title=Rare_Monsters is exactly the same except for A-X block1, the above map says 3 X Delsaban, psupedia says 3x Delsaban + 2 X Delsaban.

Any one know which version is correct? I've yet to see an A pattern route which has just 3 Delsabans as the first spawn in Block 1.

FeralKitty
Feb 6, 2007, 08:41 AM
The psupedia one is the corrected one. A-3 and A-X always spawn Delsaban x3 + Delsaban x2. Just check the large spawn in the next room to rule out A-1.

I get A-3 often, but I've only seen A-X once. Darn those two extra pannons! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

I went black heart hunting last night.

I got the rare map, I got to the Delbarans and I killed one and this blue thing popped out.

I was like "Yahoo!" (All JP style), then I walked up on it, It was a monomate.

Alas.. Olpad, Meseta, Meseta, and a Dimate. They gave me a promotion from the monomate last time XD

Oh btw, on the B runs, it has to be 2 Delsabans, and 2 Pannons & A SEED Vance in the first room of block 1 to proceed hopefuly into block 3 etc.. right?

McLaughlin
Feb 6, 2007, 04:27 PM
The SEED Vance doesn't need to be in the first room. That's just the type of large enemy you'll encounter throughout the block.

Axle-Gear
Feb 6, 2007, 04:31 PM
Orly? Hmm.. Im sure it stats that on PSUpedia?

McLaughlin
Feb 6, 2007, 04:37 PM
It says

Delsaban x 2
Pannan x 2
(large: SEED Vance)

That means on the first spawn, you'll see 2 Pannons and 2 Delsabans. The type of large creature found on that block will be SEED Vances.

Good luck on the hunt, Obsidian.

I'm pulling out of this race. My buddy just got his, He bought it.

It doesn't look like what images of it made it out to be. It's too dark and morbid for me.. not my type of thing.

I think I'll wait for the Electro Heart or something else to come out.

Got A-X and C-X tonight, nothing. This is getting a bit silly now, 3 rare maps accross 21+ hours/4 nights, it's bad enough that the chance of finding a rare map is tiny, let alone the fact that on top of that the chance of a drop seems small as well. One or the other, but both is taking the cake.
