Actually i predict a 60% chance of this happening.....Sega trys to activate [B]Grinder A.....Servers go haywire and goes "Grinder A does not compute" -> massive crash -> technical difficulties -> Grinder A postponed until further notice

[Sylpheed]

I simply don't understand why people are getting so worked up about A grinders, sure they can grind A ranks and make them as strong as hell......oh wait.....that's it? oh wow, id MUCH prefer something different to A grinder boards, infact i don't think A grinders should be released until AoI purely because so many people are going to pointlessly break their weapons and then constantly moan about it. I shall wait until AoI until i start to grind my beloved A ranks thank you very much.

DAMMIT!!! I didn't think anyone was going to catch that on time!!! X_X

[Zorafim]

I'm not going to grind any of my weapons unless it's guaranteed. This system is so terrible, this is only worthwhile in lower levels.

[jayster]

And I just sold my Hanmaterics too. Darn.

[Sulfura]

grinder A is good only for force or ranger wepaon with no % ..

i don't grind my 50% ... i'm really afraid of that

[Sekani]

I love this forum. There are about five hundred posts whining about "Whne do we get A grinderzz??" and when they finally come out, there's more whining. You guys are entertainment I tell ya.

[Eleina]

No risk taking = no rewards grind grind grind

[Midicronica]

Sounds good. I think the first I'll grind is my Hanmeteric.

Well, that sucks for you then, because even the first grind has a chance of failing. When the NPC says "no chance of failure," it's really like 95%.

[Zorafim]

I'll bet you that none of the people who posted in this topic complained about not having the grinders. Really, the complaints were about us not having the grinders when we should, as opposed to actually wanting the grinders.

So basically you're saying that people are unhappy because they didn't have something that they didn't want. That makes sense.

[ashley50]

WHEN we get A Grinder Boards on update....

.....

AHHH.....LOVE the smell of Exploding A ranks in the Morning

[Rashiid]

still not touching mine =)

[gammik]

I have like 40 of each phantom & deathmakers saved up for this very occasion ..... only need 3 of each to ocme out 6+ & I'll be happy

[Kaydin]

I'm only going to grind A-ranks if they have a guaranteed chance of success, but I am going to start stockpiling Grinder A's.

First day of AoI I'm going to go insane on A-rank Kubara and Crea weapons. ;D

[-Crokar-]

time to grind them worthless kubara melee weapons

[gammik]

I heard that "A" grinders have no, no chance of failure like Bs & Cs can with 3 star luck & +10s , can anyone confirm this ? Like with C grinders, 3 star luck , you can use +10s to grind to (3) with no chance of failure, but then when it comes to B grinders, you can only get to (1) or maybe (2), forget since it's been over 2 months since I've grinded with 3 star luck & +10s. If anything, A grinders would be 3 star luck , & +10 grinders to get (1) with no chance of failure, but I was told that is no the case ................. ?

[Ffuzzy-Logik]

No, grinding A is harder than grinding B.

That. :/

Grinding at this point...especially my hard earned A ranks, definately not worth it.

[jayster]

Finally I get to put my Grinder Base A storage to a use!!! WOOH can't wait to grind my weapons!!!! Hopefully I get atleast one to +10. Preferably the kubara versions.

[Sekani]

If I'm in a good mood I may try grinding my Bulletmasters, or maybe even go for +1s on melee stuff.

[Zorafim]

So basically you're saying that people are unhappy because they didn't have something that they didn't want. That makes sense.

Erm, yeah, pretty much. They couldn't have something, something which they should already have. No matter what that something is, if you're promised it in some way (this case would be PSUjp updates), you're going to want it and be mad that you don't have it. It's common human nature, it's what makes us move.

[9lotus]

time to grind some phantoms then

[Siertes]

Good. I have about 15 or so Deathmakers itching to break and have begun synthing more. Sucks that A ranks have such crappy grind chances, but oh well. A stock of +5 Deathmakers will be my initial goal. After that, I might just wait for AoI.

[Golto]

I know i'm going to break a lot of Phantom rifles and the 8* kubara machineguns.

[lostinseganet]

I hope the rest of the PM's come in this update...

[Helly]

Hurrah! It'll finally be my time to shine... er.... grind!

[Africa]

All i can say is i'm cursed A grinder boards and i can't blow up anything.That's just wrong but I wonder if A weapons make a different sound exploding? An actual sign of things changing in psu

[Tita]

if +2 will make A ranks equal to or better than +6 B ranks, i'll be satisfied.

Chances happening is 0%. The JP version don't even have them.

[SStrikerR]

i swear if this is a lie, i will hunt you down.... im going to just wait for AOI cause im not breaking my A ranks. =P

[Dj_SkyEpic]

It's the reason why I have so many rods/wands in my storage ;D

[FUFME]

Nice, I can finally make money again

[Jaden_Korr]

*Raises grinder base A prices in shop*

that'll be me set for it,since I've only got one A rank I'd want to grind(Aksuc)

I hope you aren't trying to rip people off since Base A's are available at NPC for only 1000m.

[McLaughlin]

Anyone who brings a Grinder A+X within 20 feet of my Heavy Twins (50% Ice) will quickly find themselves limbless.

First off, he was being sarcastic.

Second, we were never promised them in the first place. How many times have our updates differed from the JP ones? Seriously. Whoever follows anything other than information on the official site deserves to be wrong.

[PMB960]

Yay all my Granarods and Mayrods will be +1 on the 25th. I absolutely cannot grind anything more than that now, if it breaks I can't buy a new one. Maybe if I get a bunch of extra cash sometime before AoI I might try to grind 1 Kubara weapon to +10.

Also I say that instead of breaking all your weapons you should give them to me. I think I can find a better use for them http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Kimil]

Lol, I could care less for this update... I'm not grinding until AoI anyways lol XD

[VanHalen]

Though the A rank grinders are ok, this is one of those updates that says to me. "Haha you can't do the new stuffs too low http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif ". It's like January all over again http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif .

1: Whether he was being sarcastic or not, his statement was true. His sarcasm didn't effect my post in the slightest.
And, I kinda acknowledged his sarcasm, since you missed it.

2: I say "promised" because it's expected. Yes, by now, it's obvious that ST won't do things because they should. However, when an item which is given to someone, a person down the line expects to get the same item after waiting the same amount of time. We saw that PSUjp had an item, and so we expected to get that item. Because we didn't get that item, we were angry.

And this fits into my first point.

[Siertes]

Maybe we should all come to some consensus as to the worth of the grinders +1 to +10. Or at least a guess as to how much people will price them...

To the smart asses out there: We know the PC and 360 economies are different. No need to flex that elementary school education.

I didn't actually realise that when I first put them up for sale. SInce I try and run a fair priced shop,I've just put them in my storage for now. Maybe try my luck once the board comes out

[SarinSerafi]

Whew, I can't even imagine just how valuable A+9 and A+10 grinders will be. Not only are they hard to make, but everyone's going to want them so they can grind their rods, wands and ranged weapons as high as they can. I think the first A+10's are probably going to be priced something ridiculous at first, like over a million for one.

[Eleina]

Imagine we got A grinders before the Aoi Beta...a lot of ppl would have grinded Weapons and it would have drained more money out of the PC/Ps2 servers...Sega fails again!!

[Mio]

Do you know if the [b]A grinder boards will be on sale or not?

If that announce Grinder A this implys the boards otherwise the only other way of getting them would be via hacking =/

[Mio]

I mean are you sure they will not just be a monster drop?

[Reginaldo]

Sweet, all fighgunners should now have at least one deathmaker+10. I'll make as many as I can and sell them http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[Zarbolord]

>.>; Well going back on topic,
Friday's update:
yes its finally here!!!! Just 12 hours to go *heart thumps a lot* time to go back to pso days where each enemy could drop a rare http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif Wonderful...

25th: Woot closer and closer ban photons rdy, and new S ranks might help XD (altho the two headed ragnus is fire type >.>; yay antagonistic logic by sega; bah ice ank pikors should suffice XD)

They're sold in stores on the JP version? They don't even drop from enemies. Even the S grinder boards wer sold in the shop on the AoI trial (but not the bases of course).

[danny_o]

I'd like to know when we can grind armors...

[Mayu]

*giggle* A grinders? pffft, I'm keeping my 50%s >< but finally http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

LoL neber.

[Allison_W]

As a Big Dumb Fortefighter, I'm definitely going to need to make some extra Pythons to grind, just so I don't suck so hard when it comes time to bust a cap.

Guessing I'll try for maybe +5 with at least one.

[Neoptolemus]

...well, not yet, but they are confirmed:

Though we may want to see what the JP 360 board says...

[jayster]

Someone posted this a couple days ago but good finding.

Day late, dollar short -- as always.

Don't you mean the bases not the boards <<

[amtalx]

I for one, will NOT be breaking all of my prized 9*s. I may sacrifice some 7* and 8*s though. I have to do something with all this freakin' Kerseline and Vestaline...

[buzyb77]

None Still Right?

[Ryna]

We get them on the 25th.

[buzyb77]

hope so
