what Sonic team should do to make Psu more addicting

[The_Gio]

So most of us that are playing PSU have played PSO, whether it being BB, or PSO on the gamecube/xbox, We all agree PSO was really addicting. Alright, well heres my suggestion, the reason I found PSO really addicting and fun, is because I would go rare hunting alot. Even the common monsters had a chance of dropping a really rare item,usually they wouldn't,they'd drop common rares(least it was rare in some way)but it was fun seeing how every single monster in the game had a chance at something good. I think, PSU made it way too hard to find rares. And even when we do, we still have those odds of it breaking during the synth. I used to think thats better because it makes the rare weapon all the more special,to some extent thats true. But the reason I kept playing PSO was because everything had a chance. You'd never find a S rank weapon on a C rank game. You wouldnt even find an A rank. So what I think, I think ST should bring back the common rares,have a chance at finding really good items at lower ranks."noob it up" as some of you more hardcore players call it. It's just my suggestion though...

[Kaydin]

By "common rares" I assume you mean PSO's 9*s?

We have those. We call them A-ranks, 7*-9* weapons.

[Dahilia]

ITT they should lace it with crack

[The_Gio]

yeah, but can you find a A rank board in c rank? i remember finding Secret Gear in normal on PSO, i dunno about BB but on the xbox servers no one had one of those legit. So im guessing it was hard to find, havent checked the odds of finding one on here tho, point is, I found a good rare on normal.

[DikkyRay]

mak it a completely different name than "phantasy star" so people will stop bitching that its not PSO

[Powder Keg]

I think synthing steered people away the most. The drop rates are fine IMO, as I've seen plenty of S boards drop in Rainbow Beast so far. But what sucks is you actually get your hands on one and fail the synth....or spend years trying to find the materials to actually attempt to synth it.

Personally, I wouldn't mind a couple PSO-like changes, but I don't expect the expansion to make it feel like PSO at all. This is a totally different game and it's fine the way it is other than what I mentioned above.

[Mutt12]

Make the game a mindless skinner box to where the only thing you do is level and level and level and level and level and level without end... y'know, pretty much the same as every other MMO out there. ^_^

[VanHalen]

Actually there are petty rares. The Flourecent Bulb, Harisen's Battle fan, and those things that Darbalens make.

[Korokodo13]

They should let the humans use vehicles in missions the same way SUVs work, that way you can have spinners on your new ride be on a speeder bike thing and hit-and-run and do drive-bys to enemies with a saber or Machinegun or other single handed weapons. Also it would be cool running down enemy mobs such as vahras or olgohmons.... Nothings cooler than GTA action so that would make the game more addictive IMO.... http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Garnet_Moon]

Make Chu-Chu Fever a universe drop. That'd keep me glued 24/7. Damn work and damn school, i'd get it on all my chars.

[KamiSori]

i totally agree. you can never really get a drop thats on par with your level. you dont start getting 3 star weapon drops till you do B rank missions and you probably already have B rank weapons. you dont start getting 7* A rank drops until you start S rank missions in which you probably already have 8* weapons. the only weapon/armor drops that are actually an upgrade to your current equipment are A rank units and S rank weapons which are extremely rare. a change in drops would certainly make farming more common, its boring when people only want to grind the same missions over and over just for the meseta reward.

[ShinMaruku]

Get taken over by Yousuke Hayashi

[The_Gio]

lol alot of ppl are going off topic in this. All im saying is, they should add more rares. Yeah i know theres petty rares, but you were able to name around 80% of them. Add rares in C Rank, that way, a new player could get lucky and get something a,oh lets say.a lvl 80 wants. Also this game is inspired by PSO, so its not a completely different game. This is coming from a rare hunter, so its just my suggestion.

[Titan]

Black Heart?

[Powder Keg]

Since Humans and Newmans don't have anything special about them other than being able to use Crea weapons (unless there's something I don't know about in AoI, didn't read too much into it) I think Humans should have access to certain PAs and Newmans to certain Techs. Like an Ultimate type of spell that can pretty much hit every enemy around the room, doesn't have to be too damaging. And for Humans with PAs....well, you figure it out I guess.

[The_Gio]

ok yeah, blackheart is one of those items,but how about something useful? and I like that idea Artea.

[ShinMaruku]

Hayashi would show greatness

My idea was better... MAYBE...http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[trunkszero]

they should have rare weapons, and armor actually drop, instead of just the boards

[Cz]

Buff up all the enemies and make them annoyingly HARDCORE! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif
*Bunny start seeing a lot of people running away from the BUFF up GOSHIN* http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

[Weeaboolits]

Add a dark version of goshin that spits megid and infects. >;]

[Cz]

Buff up Goshin with level 4 megid? Now that is exciting! Makes me more hyper trying to dodge
the megid. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

[Akaimizu]

Make Yellow Rappies actually show up for Tynselle in less than 800 hours of play. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif
It's one thing to get rare boards from rare monsters. Another thing if it's impossible to get the rare spawns in the first place.

I hear people on the actual item instead of the board. This double luck factor can be impossible for some people.

Bring back "Fake in Yellow!" http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Weeaboolits]

CDFS. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_yes.gif

CDFS??? Ronin quit using shortcut words. Bunny is confuse. >.>

[Neoptolemus]

They need to make more rare C Rank and B Rank weapons that have a chance of dropping any mission from a particular monster. I don't really even care if it is just a board that drops (we should all have a ton of the synth materials that synth a C or B weapons by now). In fact, it would be better if it was a board, 'cause then I'd have a reason to pick up those C and B rank synth materials again.

I agree that it would be nice to have the whole armor drop. I speak from experience when I say that a little piece of you dies when you fail on that nifty 10* rare that you just got. Maybe they should just make it cheaper to buy the materials to synth an armor, or up the % so that it is a little more balanced. As much as I like spending a few million to attempt to synth one armor with a 41% success rate...

[Weeaboolits]

Central Dome Fire Swirl. ;]

[Cz]

oh?! the one with "Burning Ranger" music? That was a hot quest! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Also, BRING BACK FAT RAPPIES!!!!

[Weeaboolits]

Coordinates set! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

[Cz]

I remember there was a burning Momo cast robot guy! How in the world he survive the
heat?

[ShinMaruku]

Hayashi he'd balnce the game and improve the AI till it is great and really focus on team work and of course drop the stupid shit. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Weeaboolits]

Every time I did that mission the guy that you have to save in the second part got killed by the hildes, fortunately, though, they didn't care. ;]

[Cz]

they need to bring back Frozen Shooter!!! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

[Shiro_Ryuu]

Why do I need Frozen Shooter when I already have the almight Relic Gun?

[Cz]

frozen shooter is guranteed popsticle, so some people can take pictures of frozen enemies. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

[Tigerram]

I agree with you big time Gio, being a former rare hunter myself in the PSO days, this would completely rock! I also agree we should be able to not just find the boards, but be able to find armor and the weapons themselves. I'd also like to see every enemy have a drop/drops of sorts, and different drops on every difficulty, C-S2. We have a few that are indeed good rare finds but...well I'd like to see assloads more is what I'm saying http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[The_Gio]

yay someone finally agreed ^_^,i mean it would make PSU so freaking addicting if every monster had a special item to drop, and yeah I agree on the finding the whole weapon/armor. That would mean that ST would lower the drop rate on the boards and up the rate on the actual weapon/armors themselves

[Saphion]

Agreed. The lack of PSO-style rare hunting was a major turn-off for me.

I understand they've gone some way to implement it now, but it's far too late for me.
Roll on the expansion...
