View Full Version : The Great Hunt! (An Event for 360 Servers)



Hitori
Feb 11, 2007, 12:14 AM
Greetings to everyone from the clan, Fates Hand! We've been biding our time and spreading our good name, but now we are making our first big move! We are hosting a new, completely original event for the Phantasy Star Universe Xbox 360 servers!

What is 'The Great Hunt' you ask? It is a massive scavenger hunt across the entirety of the Gurhal System! Don't worry, you won't be rounding up De Ragan tails or Onmagoug auges. With patience, most everything on the list can be found on C Rank missions. That means that everyone can play!

Now what you all really want to know... what are the prizes? We aimed high for this one, and I think you'll be happy we did. The grand total in prize money is One Hundred and Seventy Five Thousand meseta! That means 20K to each member of the winning party, 10K to each member of the second place party, and 5K to each member of the third place party. And gathering a coherent party is no small task, so the leader of each of the three winning parties will win an A Rank Weapon to do with as they want!

The specifics: Teams will consist of five competing members, one being established as the founder/leader to make final decisions. The sixth member MUST be a member of Fates Hand we will provide for you. They will be the judges who hold your found items, and keep track of your progress. I will go in further depth on judges later. The Great Hunt will be on Sunday, February 25th, beginning at 10:00 am Pacific Time. If, for some reason, no one can complete the Hunt, the competition will end twelve hours later at 12:00 Midnight Pacific. Items will be tallied at star value, and winners announced. Although I seriously doubt that will happen.

The day of the Hunt: All competitors and judges will meet on Universe 22, at the fountain on the first floor of Clyez City. As this event is item drop related, please bring NOTHING with you except the weapons, clothes, and shield you have equipped. By 10:00 everyone should have met, or be meeting their judges and be going through the formalities that will prevent cheating in this event. At 10:00, I will send Xbox Live messages to all of the judges with the list of items to be found, and any other information they will need. This includes the Universe that the party and its judge will compete in, to avoid running into other parties/unassociated players. The Judge will then inform you of the first item that you should be hunting. When the list is completed, the judge will have one final message instruction to be read in Universe 22, concerning how to turn in your finished collection.

The Judges: All judges will be players that we supply. These judges have nothing to gain or lose from the parties performance, and so are completely impartial. They will not engage in combat, and MUST pick up ALL items to be counted towards the Hunt. Any item not picked up directly by a judge is to be nulled. If a judge makes a reasonable request of your party, especially if you are being deliberately obnoxious, and is ignored, they have the right to disqualify the entire party. Any serious appeals should be made to me via gamertag.

Recapping the Essentials: The Great Hunt is Sunday February 25th at 10:00 am Pacific. You compete in teams of five. Come with empty inventories other than equipped weapons, shield, and clothes. Again, this is to prevent any cheating that would demean this event. We have a method of guaranteeing that players are following this rule, and will disqualify teams if we must. Finally, you are not to leave the sight of the judges at any time.

This information will remain here and at our website: http://www.fateshandclan.com. Please do your best to spread word of this event. A good turn out means we will do more competitions like this.

See you February 25th, Clyez City in Universe 22!

*This event is not associated with Sega, Sonic Team, or any other corporation. It is put on out of the time and pockets of the clan Fates Hand.*

Wow, already alot of people are chiming in.

For those who don't know alot of players in the game, we'd be glad to match up parties and loners on the day of the event so that they can have fun too. And if you're interested in improving your stockpile of partner cards, we're always looking for more friendly faces in our clan.

Oh, and for players facing time constraints... I will be testing my item list in a few days with the judges as a party, but already I don't think this event will be as long as I have allowed for. A couple hours at the most. Hopefully that will be a little easier for people to fit into their day.

We should pick captains XD

EDIT: And by that I mean, team captains would pick players.

And Parn is worth Rizen and Tahldon combined >_> You can't have them all T_T

Well then this presents an interesting situation.

If parn is on my team he can be the leader, because a level 10-20 with an A rank would be the best.

Hitori
Feb 11, 2007, 10:42 PM
Unfortunately, no. There won't be healing items. Forces will be the only healing available this time. In the future versions of this event, the rules may change. But for now only equipped weapons, clothes, and armor will be allowed. For very low level parties, judges may carry Star Atomizers. I'm going to make that an as-needed choice to be made that day.

Hey Hitori how does one go about joinning your clan cuz im interested in meeting people i can play with on a regular basis rather then having to join random partys for one mission then finding another one for then next so im interested.

Hitori
Feb 12, 2007, 05:36 PM
Oh, if people are interested in joining us at Fates Hand, look us up at Fateshandclan.com The site will look very strange on Firefox(my apologies, working on it), but the forums should be just fine.

And there aren't any restricitons on entering this event. The randomization of drops, and their availability on C rank missions means that everyone has a fighting chance in this event. We may make invitation style events later based on this and the next few happenings. These will have a little more pizazz, as we won't have to worry about one or two rotten apples sneaking in to try and cheat their way to easy meseta.

And an update on prizes. The third A rank weapon fell through, so only first and second place captains will be getting A ranks weapons. I will attempt to find another to remedy this, but I'm starting at square one right now. However, for third place their is a nice pile of limited-time/rare decorations. I'll update as this may or may not change...

It's just going to be c missions anyway, don't worry TOO much about levelling.

Okie doke then, maybe you'll even get the black heart and have a few A ranks by then too http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Esufer
Feb 12, 2007, 06:29 PM
I doubt it. That'd mean getting Fortefighter, and that's pretty hard unless I grind HIVE forever and do full runs, which'd significantly decrease my chances of getting the Black Heart. I'm just hoping the stuff in my shop'll sell to add to the Hounds fund. That should add a CONSIDERABLE amount if all that sells. And none of the A-rank weapons really excite me. I might buy an axe, and a better Handgun/saber, but that's about it. Clothing comes first though, then the SUV, then the weapons. I've already got a Seva Drada, A Falchiora and a Megaline waiting in storage, so that's not too bad. =]

Unfortunately, due to very important and unavoidable real life circumstances on my part, the Great Hunt is going to be moved to one day later, Sunday, February the 25th. It is still at 10 am pacific, and all else still holds true. Thanks for understanding everyone.

Hmm, sunday 1pm EST for me... universe 22... (wonders who has the best luck that day and who has the highest star decorations in their room)

The REAL challenge is... not picking anything up. >.< Hmm if we get a good substancial amount of rares, does our team of 5 divy them up?

Good high star rares drop in S rank missions, that means I'm out for some of them. I pray there isn't any of that damn lag like I experienced quite some time ago. Silly me for not having a character not at 60 yet, oh well. Doesn't matter too much to me. I've been busy with life, so I can't spend my time with this game all the time. ;_; I would like to though.

Me and my team got 2nd place. I (Arawen) was the leader and the other members were Aaron, Tea, and Yuna. Our judge was darknero. We named our team "Nero's Angels" lol.
The A rank weapon I recieved was a Crea-Zashi (I can't use it lol) and every member of our team got 10000 meseta. (except Aaron who was accidently rewarded 20000... Lucky Bastard.)

Congratulations to them, and a big thankyou to all others who participated. Our Phantasy Star Universe page has been updated with information, and screen shots of the event. (www.fateshandclan.com)
Feel free to visit and see what we're cooking up next.

(Sorry this took so long to get out here. I've been going non-stop since the event. The only reason I have time now is I've called in a sick day... ah, much needed rest)
