It is as exactly as was expected:

Story Mission Episode 2 Chapter 8: Flash of Ruin
Eastern Peril S2
Rogues' Shortcut S2

Before you even ask: once again, there is no mention of [B] Grinder A.

[Raysa]

Where is Rogue's Shortcut? >_>

[Radiata]

Ahh, Eastern Peril S2 is arousing. ;D And new story mission, as well.

[Arika]

Do we have confirmation that JP Xbox360 servers didn't get the [B] Grinder A last week?

Yes, there is confirmation that we did not receive them, because the JP, US, and EU Xbox 360 servers are all one in the same.

[Eleina]

everyone knows that [B] A grinder will come after [B] S grinder lolol...

[Alpha-Hunter]

that's strange to me that EP S2 and short cut S2 is being released before favs like creatures and defense S2...

[A2K]

It's strange they weren't released earlier, actually. I believe they were among the first or second group of S2 missions.

[-Rune-]

cause they dun want us to have 100+ monsters yet u_u

[MayLee]

Sega team must hate us. Well looks like I'll be hearing people whine about quitting for A grinders..=

That's because ST knows that this game would loose half its appeal if there wasn't something to complain about. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Thanks, I didn't know US, EU & JP 360 shared the same servers. Let's hope Sega of Japan doesn't continue to err when announcing future updates (i.e., "Addition of baseplate: The baseplate of the high ranking weapon is added"). It was wrong no matter how it's translated. :

i hope its close friends too that quit, gib mii rarz nao!!

[CyarVictor]

Someone explained it well yesterday duringa run. JP had to wait for their updates just as long as us. They may seem to get it before us, but that's because they got the game, what a month or two before us. I'm just happy that i have time to grind bullets and farm for meseta to buy things now so I don't have to worry about new equips. I mean, yesterday i finally decided to buy an Onmagoug Statue since i have time to make back the 250k I spent on it. So just be patient. I guess it's the same length as JP we have to wait. just as long as we don't get another message like last time with the PA's couldn't be added that night due to an inconvienance and they decided to wait another week before releasing em without thinking of having an unscheduled maintanance.

[Lamak]

I am so confused. So we didn't get an update for this week? >_>

[Rashiid]

no.

[CyarVictor]

Usual server check

[Lamak]

I hate when people stall.

[Golto]

CyarVictor: Jpn got it 2 months before us but ever since the long delay of ULT PA we have been getting farther behind them. We should be only 2 months behind them but we are 3 months behind them, maybe more if the update after the 27th isn't Mad Beasts and Rainbow Beast S2.

[CyarVictor]

I didn't mind being behind them by 2, but 3 months... I can hear it now: "Who pissed in my cheerios?" Ssseeeegggaaaa. Well, all we can do is wait and see.

No it's not. You can buy A grinder bases in the shop.

[Rashiid]

i dun cur really how far away we are.

i just want to play again http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

[Zorafim]

The most pleasure I've got from the game recently is bleaching my skin and blackening my eyes, making for a perfect fish look. The fact that I can get more enjoyment from that then leveling up or the like is kind of discouraging.

*Huggles perfected fishgirl*

[amtalx]

I just hope what happened to PSOX doesn't happen here *crosses fingers* on PSU. Christmas time is fun and all, but dealing with it for years on end made me want to club Rudolph with my shoe.

Haha. You gotta beat off his nose so it doesn't blind you or can radiation.

I just find it funny the order of the newer S2's. It's like we start from pt A then go all the way to G in releasing the missions, then upgrade them backwards for the S2. I'd thought we'd get Mad Creatures S2 or Mizuraki Defence S2 before Rogue's Pass and Eastern Peril S2.

[Zorafim]

Eastern peril is a favorite of mine, so I'm glad we're getting it. However, I'd much rather have my ice claws.

They were released along side the other 2 party missions (Crimson beast and the other one) in the JP version.

Perhaps they forgot it and they're trying to fill in their mistakes? Or perhaps they're just trying to buy their time since the JP had a month long event that basically made it so we had no updates for about 5 weeks.

[CyarVictor]

So in a way, we're back to how it should be, only a 2 month difference; which is due to the game release in JP before we got our NA release. So almost back to equal grounds, no? Well, I got time to solo Tunnel Recapture S2 for more ebons for my team http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif.

[Golto]

JPN ps2/pc got [b] grinder a Dec 14th, grinder a bases on Jan 18th.

I guess we'll see if we get caught up to the 2 month behind updates if we get their April 12th update on the 2nd Friday of June. That is possible so lets hope.

[Itsuki]

looking back on it, its longer than I expected. But, we didn't "effectively" get any updates from february 8th till April 12th. But this was because UA ran from February 22nd until March 22nd.

They could be spacing out whats left over 2-3 weeks intervals so that they don't run out of stuff to update with and have to leave you all hanging for 2 months straight.

[drakkula]

just out of curiosity....whats the cap lvl in japan? 90?

[Cracka_J]

agata gonna get slammed again when that eastern peril s2 hits

[CyarVictor]

I'll still be in Moatoob when Rogue's Pass S2 drops http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

[SolomonGrundy]

wait - do PS2/PC have A grinder boards? I did not think they did...

Yes, on the JP version.

[Sev]

I still don't seem to care about not having A Grinder Boards... Even though I've been using A weapons for awhile now. Maybe there's something wrong with me...

[Mikura]

With some of the %s I have on my A weapons, I'd be afraid to grind them far anyway. But since it looks like we won't be getting a lot of S weapons any time soon, I would like to make what I do have a little bit better. Ah well...back to lvling alt characters. >_>

[pionear]

I think ST is punishing the NA players for all the hacks that was going on earlier.
