I think DJ quit, and Cherry is leveling the Nosu side by side with my Megid to see if Megid's proc rate will be worth it to try to cap quickly. Nosu spells will be reliable.

At least I hope. I'll drag her by her little ponytails all across Gurhal if I have to. We gonna test them side by side. >_>;

[Rashiid]

im not getting megid untill later later, cauz every other force is gonna hav it, so they can use it.

im gettin Megiverse and Nosmegid 1st, others can wait....

[Almalexia]

Of all those PA's, force or a fighter type, and with 99 frags on hand, I don't know WTH I want ._..

[Rashiid]

i got i think 140 sumthin frags, the day before the update im gonna farm big-time for em

Mad Creatures S. The first zone in East District in Holtes city.

Do it in 8 mins, S rank it and get a PA frag every time. Spam it now if you wish to afford everything by Friday.

[Rashiid]

99 per character, + 99 in they're PM + 99 in common box = 891 frags

start rackin em up now http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

[Emrald]

what are nosu techs?

[Rashiid]

theyre like tracking spells

[Emrald]

I REMMBER THOSE THEY FOLLOW THE ENEMY THEN RANDOMLY EXPLODE WHEN YOU LET GO OF THE BUTTON/KEY

[Rashiid]

yepp! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

[Zorafim]

So, the final PAs are coming out soon... This means that I'll finally have an excuse to use claws... I should start hunting now.

What PAs are coming out, again? fists, dual claws, dual daggers, dual sabers, and single claw? The handgun PA is coming out as well, right?

[Shiro_Ryuu]

man, there was ALWAYS a reason to use claws, they're totally awesome.

[Rashiid]

i luv this claw PA, tho im sure the ultimate is better

[Lyrise]

Regarding Megid....Anyone who thinks they can cap it within a week is insane. That tech levels worse than zonde....

[DonRoyale]

Yeah, yeah, that's great and all...

But what clothes do we get? That's what I'd like to know. >:C

Cruise control for awesome.

[Neith]

Senten Kanzan-ga time http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Awesome, I can live with lack of Fakis this week for that update.

[EspioKaos]

Sweet! New GUARDIANS mission means Chapter 5 next week. I can hardly wait! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

If the new PAs means the TECHNIC/Skill/Bullet License missions are added, then I've got some PA Fragment earning to do. To buy all of the TECHs that I want, I'll need 464 Fragments. So far, I've got... six. <_<;

[Zorafim]

I think I need 200 PA fragments to get myself. 75 for the twin claw PA (I'm sorry, but the PAs that claws have right now are horrid), 50 for the handgun PA (self healing FTW), and 75 for the knuckles (I'll leave this on the back burner). If I'm not mistaken, that's all the PAs a fortefighter would be interested in (I'm trying to shy away from the fighgunner weapons).


So, um, this means that I should grind mad creatures, right? Is there some other mission that many people tend to do S ranks on?

[Rashiid]

Grind Mad Creatures, trust me: thrusday night; thats all u gonna see, those last second PA frag hunters lol (ill be 1!)

haha ahh i laughed out loud, i feel you man i'm prob going to need a lot to get what i want, i have 21 frags right now

[UnknownFox]

whats a frag and how do you know how many you have and what are they for

[Zorafim]

Every time you get an S rank on an S level mission, you get a PA fragment. You trade a certain amount of them in for a Photon Ability (These are still unreleased).

[Kei-Z]

Any new clothes for us?

Lyrise plays on the JP server, and it takes significantly longer than zonde to level. It basically requires the same number of hits as zonde, except it moves half as fast, uses 5x the PP, and has a chance of insta killing, which means the number of potential targets is reduced.

They're broken, and if you use them, you'll feel like a complete and utter newb and everyone around you will look down on you. Thats all you need to know.

[Rashiid]

^ yeah and thats why most forces are getting them.....newb tech...lol

what tech isnt hard to use???

[Krans]

btw are these tradable through windows? because i thought they weren't but then someone was talking about some story where some guy didnt know what they were so he gave his 20 away

[Rashiid]

theyre is no way of transfering PA frags or Ultimate PA's once you purchase them

(cept common box, but technically thats still you)

[MoNoMaTe_MoNkEy]

You guy's are forgetting that (according to PSUPEDIA) the Network Story modes, on A rank, if you get S on them, you get 10 PA Frags. Just do the first Act 1 Mask Mission, where you fight a few monsters and find the Seed Plant specimens with the goggles. Seems easy enough.

You are forgeting the PA fragment spear PA, don't know the name I just call it Surf Spear.. the one where you jump up and ride the spear across the air like a surfboard.Definitly a Fortefighter worthy PA

[Rashiid]

^ lol that PA looks more comical then powerful

This is only a 1-time deal. And not every race/class combination has the ability to do this on every chapter. It usually takes a level 70+ to get some of them done.

Thats not one thats being added. The JP server doesn't even have that one.

[Nani-chan]

Do the jp have good comments on some of the PAs? The throwing twin daggers and rocket fists look fun, but not sure how pratical they are compared to the curent ones.

[9lotus]

Aw dammit, I was gonna buy that and cruise around C-rank missions on a spear =

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: 9lotus on 2007-02-02 22:37 ]</font>

They seem pretty hit or miss just like all other skills. The consensus on the twin claw PA appears to be "if your evade is too high, then its bad".

The main problem with the twin dagger one is the fact that it launches both up and away from you. Combined with its very short range, it means that the 3rd part of the combo can be hard to hit with. And even the 2nd against some monsters can be hard to hit with.

Splendor Crush a lot of people dislike. But supposedly its good for mobs of a large number of monsters. (Like Labs)

Lyrise probably has better information on them than me. He's maxed all classes (yes, all) and had experience with most of the ult PAs. I know he overwrote the twin dagger PA and the Twin claw one because they weren't useful to him. I beleive the only melee one he kept may have been Splendor Crush.

[Alisha]

when i used to mess around with offline my 100/10 beast force does more damage with nosumegid than my 100/10 human force http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif i think it will be a great tech for beast wartechers. but its so situational and requires hp manipulation,so i'm not sure it will be worth the pa frags =/

[ShinMaruku]

Reached 100 offline? O_O acutally I keep restarting and now I have a perfect build and any tech now is broken online as they kill everything within 1-2 blows. Bosses can weather it but die too.
I'm glad I start online next month. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif Everything will be there and I know how to power level and all I need tis some mates to play with.

[Alisha]

100 offline is easy once you get to level 60 and can play the hive and absolute zero.

Like Dambarta? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif Pretty looking spell but levels quickly and easily allows you to kill mobs without much harm. So easy it made me bored of my fT >.>

[Rashiid]

hell i luv the Nos-spells

i dont get it....

1st ppl complain about forces being in the middle getting killed, so get in the back.

ok, nos spells allow us to stay EVEN farther back and do damage.

so now its conisdered 'broken'

i swear, some ppl dont NOT knoe what theyre talking about, because theyre huge hypocrites that are making no sense.

EDIT: I'd think I should point out first, that I call Nosu spells broken because they are literally broken. Though the damage can be called broken in the sense of "unbalanced". I actually mean that Nosu spells are broken in the sense of "glitchable and exploitable".

You have no idea what you're talking about. Generally speaking, Nosu is cast almost point blank. Sure you can use it at range. But at range its by no means broken. Its just alright.

Theres this concept that we commonly call "Nosu Spamming". Its technically the exploitation of a glitch (shift-canceling). But its far far worse than what can be done with damubarta. It only really has 2 restrictions.
1) You need a ton PP reserves
2) You need a mei/quick or haru/quick

Then, when cast up close, you can cancel it repeately, allowing you to cast it say... 3-4x as fast as it was meant to be cast. And in the case of Nosu Diga (the most commonly used one), every bullet is AoE, staggers, has a chance for stun, and deals about the same as Ra tech. Only you can cast it way faster than you can cast any Ra tech.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QravSmD9C3A

So youtube to illustrate. I start by casting it normally a few times. Then I start up a spam against the air to illustrate just how broken it is. Then I run in and annihilate some stuff with it.



<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Itsuki-chan on 2007-02-03 03:00 ]</font>

[Nani-chan]

I realize this video is offline.. Yet it seemed like the cancel method made it like a 20 PP casting? (almost free)

If that's not the case for online then I can get the point in the speed and damage.

Meh, kinda sad that the new melee PAs are expensive and less useable then the current ones too. However it's good to know. Thanks http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

Technically speaking, offline it does cost 20. And online as a fT it costs 52. In that video it technically WAS free because I froze the area of memory where my PP is stored.

Online speaking, it should be roughly the same casting speed, and it will deal as much damage as you would online with a ra-tech. I'm just trying to illustrate the speed and damage potential.

[Tra]

nosu might be a noob weapon yes, but I'm exploiting it when it's still around to the very limit. Bruce A duo is gonna be bumped from 7:48 to possibly 10min remaining? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

sorry itsuki, but I don't really care about your opinion... a noob FT is a noob FT, doesn't matter what they're using, you're still going to still differences in performance. If you want to call me one, go ahead. haha.


btw Seiryu ermm... I'll help you think of a good place to level Megid ><

have u even tried these spells offline?

Nono, let's just exploit the Nosu spells everywhere until they get fixed. Megid will come later. Now that i've seen the Nosu in action? Hell yes. We'll go rape everything until it's fixed. :3

EDIT: But considering how fast we got the PA nerf? Well, I wouldn't be surprised if we got the Nosu glitch "fixed" friday when we get them. Let's hope not. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

Meh, it doesn't mean people(loyal their hunter) are going to jump thefortetecher bandwagon just because of these new techs. Therefore I could care less how good they are. Come on, we're not that overpowered, just because we get easy element access, long ranged attacks, status effects, and strong damage.

Don't forget that we also heal them when their -Mates run out. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

But yeah, anyway, back on topic.

I don't think 360 even has a form of shift-cancelling...on second thought, I'm sure it does, but I haven't seen it used.

It's a PC exclusive glitch. I haven't been able to do it on my PS2 version with the keyboard it has.

[Itsuki]

on PC, you're not vulnerable to attacks though. You can simple press shift, and then move. And you're not actually allowing them to track. Infact, you're not even allowing the casting animation to finish. Did you watch the video?

Far as I know you cannot trade PA Frags or Ultimate PA discs. I'm sure common box is fine.

no you can't. PA frags are untransferable, as are the PA disks you buy with them, completely locked to your character/account

Spam Mad Creatures S today like everybody else who is low on the frags. If you want an ult PA on an alt, drop the PA Frags in the common box and let them get it themselves. lol

Understood. Let me know when you're making the new character, MayLee. Ask for "Mufonna". Just don't let the Hyenas hear you say it. It sends a chill up their spine.

For PA Frags, Tynselle's been doing a lot of S-Mad Creatures lately. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

I can't wait till I get NosuZonde. Heat-seeking electro-spheres that inflict shock. Then I'll get Nosdiga. I'll wait till later for megid since I never liked Barta or Zonde even if megid can have a slight chance at insta-kills. I'm actually not a fan of dark techs. I wonder if Giresta will be worth PA frags?

They need the Ultimate Ultimate PA to be released: 'Fury of Chuck Norris's Beard'

I wonder if Giresta will be worth PA frags?




personally, im thinking the same

since its a Moon + Mega HP / Restore <-(lol)
(which most ppl have)

I may, depending on how much it costs to use

[CyarVictor]

And it apparently can be grinded like the buff/debuff spells from what others have told me. No more chasing people around a room trying to heal em.

[Esufer]

I am so whoring tornado dance. How long does it take to get 99 PA frags?

[Deja_Vu]

Looks like Fortefighters get the shaft with this update. No axe, sword, or spear PAs. Oh well, guess I'll settle for the twin claws or daggers

Shaft...? Clearly you don't have the latest Axe PA leveled decently with a 50% weapon... >.>

Actually it's level 20 something with a 38% ground axe. I don't have a 50% axe sorry, but I've been trying, don't get me wrong. Synthed 50% Gudda Gants today so I'm happy for now.

Anyways, I'da just liked more hunter PA's being released since rangers get one for each weapon, and forces get at least one of each element. Instead hunters got a handful of weapons I hardly use or don't even like altogether.

[pokefiend]

Nosuzonde here I come. ^_^

[Zorafim]

I don't know what there is to complain about. First of all, hunters do enough damage. Second of all, I feel well contented with this update. I get half of FF's arsenal in PAs, plus I get to look like a boxer, ninja, and dragoon all at once. Beyond that, I get a way to heal myself without using mates. I don't see where the lose is.

[Vergil_Sparda]

Splendor Crush here I come http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif. Then after Splendor Crush It's the Twin Claw PA http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif W00T!

BTW I'm guessing we arent getting any new clothes. But didnt the JP servers get trencoats by this update O_O?

[Syl]

Argh, I can't decide what to pick...

I want dark techs for my recreated force, but seeing how she's only lvl 10 atm, I'm not sure if I should just wait. Nosumegid looks interesting and so does megid, but maybe waiting it out to see what others have to say about the spells might be a better idea.

The other one I want to get is the Card BA. Although I'm not sure if it get's 3 attacks or not, and as Itsuki said, the HP drain isn't that great. But being the card fan I am, I might get this. Just don't know if I should get it first or the spells =/

I'm a Fortefighter but Twin Sabers are my main weapon so I don't really mind too much, I personally didn't feel too shafted. I'll definately be getting splendor crush after I max out assault crush, which may be pretty soon, its almost at level 29 now.

[Pengfishh]

BAAAAAH! Where is my third Single Dagger PA?!!?!?!?!

[Zorafim]

So, after I got my 75th PA fragment, I get this familiar message across the top of my screen: The maintenance will begin in ten minutes.

I had just enough time to store and shop my rares and to buy a cheapy 7* dual claw to prepare for tomorrow. My striking PA will be ready by then too, so I should be able to get my arsenal.

[JC10001]

No Ultimate PAs were released today. WTF happened?

[Rashiid]

o god no, not this again.....

[Tahldon]

Eh.. Man there must have been a huge war over the Ultimate PA's not coming out.

That topic I was reading all morning is gone now.

Such a pity. I wanted to see more complaining.

Wgah..Ah well.. On to more entertaining things..

[Sychosis]

For way, way, WAY more complaining, see the official forums (http://boards2.sega.com/psu_board/viewforum.php?f=3).

I been there.. that's too much complaining spread out. They should centralize it. It's more entertaining that way.

That way people complain to one another about complaining to one another. It's actually like reading a funny book or something.

Keeps me from being upset about it. Lol I wouldn't be surprised if the Sonic Team did stuff like this just to see what people would say so they'd get a laugh. (I'd sure as hell do it.)

PSU is my anti-drug Imma still play. Just have to wait, is all.

But.. uh..yeah..

[Sychosis]

Yeah, focused anger makes for epic lulz.

The mods over there don't work for SEGA and still do damage control. They had me loling this morning.

[PJ]

A chance of pace

I thought the last story mission update (Chapter 4) wasn't so hot. Easy and lame. This is TOTALLY makes up for it <3 That's some deep, awesome shit right there. Just, awesome.

[Sychosis]

Agreed. The new story mission is made of win.

That new one they just added?

Honestly I neglect the online story missions. Spptt *Thumbs down* Cause the first two were lame and didn't even hold my interest.

I was all like "Wuh! This is crap right here.. story isn't even catching.."

Cause.. if it hooks my attention I usually stick with it.. then again.. I've lost intrest in some things... like.. Naruto. *Thumbs down* fillers suck especially 20000000 of em..

But anyways.. back on topic.. Mayhaps I'll play that Hive one... then I can play the new ones... /pif

Oh man, am I the only one excited about how much farther than just the offline story this is branching off of? This is starting to branch off the fucking INTRODUCTION to the game in the manual! I'm so excited. And when they said, "A-Photon Bomb," it wasn't just a, "Oh, is THAT all." That was like "HOLY FUCK WE GOTTA STOP THEM!" And Ethan clearly not being a bad guy, but they did it in such a way was just... awesome. Best story mission ever. <3

Also, anyone else notice, when you select the mission, it's like, "Valley of Suspicion," but when you play the quest, it's called, "Canyon of Intrigue?" I thought that was interesting.

[Parn]

So the new story mission is good eh? I'll have to play it after I finish dinner. Chapter 4 was awful, heh.

[Sychosis]

When I first saw Ethan walk up to the reactor things or whatever they were and say those almost evil lines, I couldn't help but imagine his voice actor saying them. Totally killed the mood of the moment but I couldn't help it http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Kinda wish Ethan really was evil though, such awesome clothes going to waste...

EDIT:I take great offense to the possibility of having my race destroyed...wish I did something more than MOVE AND NOD!! </vent>

[Q_Anon]

The new mission IS awesome, the only thing that didn't really make sense to me is why Ethan is wearing the awesome new clothes. There really wasn't any big change in his character to give him a new look.

To be honest, I didn't look much into it. I just thought it was an awesome costume that made me happy. But, as Laia said, it looked very roguish (It escapes me how clothes can be defined as roguish, especially those XD Looked more formal to me), probably just to signify his relations with the rogues. And that doesn't mean he's a bad guy... we know from the end of Chapter 12 that the rogues helped them out, and I think that's what the rogues are doing here again.

Theory spoiler!

I mean, I think we all got the same idea when we heard the president was attempted-murdered, but from the sounds if it, it really does sound like the president is evil. It was kinda a funny moment. Ethan's like, "I need to find out who I can trust," and it kinda hit me and I'm all, "HOLY FUCK THE PRESIDENT IS HUMAN!" XD

[Reeses]

Speaking of outfit... did anyone else notice the word 'Punishment' down the two sides of his little trench? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

[gundam0079]

where can we buy these are they availbe yet

[Shiro_Ryuu]

man, am I the only one happy w/ Chatper 4 of the story mission? I mean, I get Maya's card, Maya!

[Sychosis]

I already had her card http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

[Shiro_Ryuu]

well, I'm a human so I had to get Hyuga's card instead. >.>
but in the story, I got Maya's card, and now, she's following me everywhere I go, she's so into me. XD

[XCOPY]

I don't think this spoils anything since it's just about clothes.....


So....are we ever going to have access to Ethan's cool outfit in the new mission? That coat is awesome, and I'd love to see it in various colors and styles, and how it would look on my character...

[Zorafim]

Yes, that outfit that Ethan has would be the only way I would ever start a male character. I mean, fluffy tie? Count me in.
