April 6th update..

[Gryffin]

Double checking. We did NOT get ANYTHING right? I saw a thread about A grinders and was all like ZOMGAGRINDERSNAOW?!

[Golto]

We got a whole lot of nothing as starting to be usual. April 13th we get clothes and some crappy s2 ranks of Moatoob missions. Not even worth putting in I think. No new sranks can drop from these. No word of grinder a boards still.

[Kaydin]

Nope. Nothin'.

[Baku]

we get nothing, zip, nada this week.

[Itsuki]

No, but the x360 update for 4/13 is up now -> http://xbox360.phantasystaruniverse.jp/news/wis/?mode=view&id=45

[Zorafim]

Moatoob? No lv100+ monsters with hawt S rank drops?

Oh well, at least I get to look hot.

[Golto]

My friend told me about the 360 site being updated. It does say "The baseplate of the high ranking weapon is added". Not sure what this means though. A grinder boards? They have something about drops being changed for some monsters including Carrigune. Maybe the high ranking weapon board is the Carrigune-Rukar finally?

[Midicronica]

Addition of baseplate
The baseplate of the high ranking weapon is added.

Base plate? S rank grinder bases?

[Para]

no most likely A rank grinder boards.

As to translate what the site says...

Spring Lobby with Cherry Blossoms!

Story Mission 7

Valley of Carnage S2
Mine Defense S2
Tunnel Recapture S2

As well, several monsters will have their difficulty adjusted, some monsters include:
Mizura, Gaozoran, Goshin, Bul Buna, Bel Pannon (I can't make out the others... get Itsuki to do it for me <3)

And drop ratios for several monsters have also been adjusted:
Go Vahra, Armed Servant (Taguba & Ozuna), Special Ops (Kanohne, Assault and Solda), Gaozoran, GSM-05B Bomalta, Golmoro, Jishagara, Bil de Vear, Delsaban and Carrigune.

A rank grinder boards get added.

And new clothes (the ones Itsuki were flaunting at us http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif)

I'm not sure about what you just said but whatever the 360 site says for whatever date is what the PS2/PC servers get in the US as well.

[Thrash777]

[Mewn]

Do JP players know anything about these drop and strength changes? Or is this something completely new?

The other three "re-adjusted" enemies seem to be the Endrum robot bees, but I can't be sure. Rather inconsistent considering the full name for one is in the drop ratio list too, but go figure.

The page makes no specific mention of [B] Grinder A, although, if I'm not mistaken, that wasn't announced for the JP PC/PS2 servers specifically either. The mention of new base plates/boards is for "high ranking weapon".

[RedCoKid]

They called it "Grinder backing material A" for PS2/PC JP.

We'll get it next Friday.

[Mewn]

Grinders aren't even mentioned. It says 'High-ranking weapon boards are being added.'

[SAtaarcoeny]

i wish i could jus get a yes or no to the A grinders

[Para]

lol Im not sure either but I recall someone mentioning it should come.

[Golto]

I think they just forgot about grinder A boards since we should have gotten them over 2 months ago.

[-Ryuki-]

It wasn't an update. It was maintenance.

hang on a min...i have'nt been on the official site for over a week ,but doesnt it say we are getting "4" new missions and a story mission????
so are we only getting 3 new s2 missions now and a story mission?? man this is taking the piss if true, especially if still no A grinder boards!

[akratic]

I hope the adjustments don't make the bigger enemies too weak. Challenge is ok. But boring is not - hope the worms, servants, and bees lose some hp. They're not hard to fight - just tedious.
