Deaths no longer affect rank....

[l_Will_l]

Am i reading this right on this page? ---> http://phantasystaruniverse.com/community_quests.php?item=20070712a does that mean no more loss of S rank because of a death finally? they arent just fuckin with us are they?

[natewifi]

No, they are not William Z. Chokesondick.

[MomoHana]

That was lame nate.

[l_Will_l]

wtf... not cool.... >.> ne1 else have a decent answer? lol

[Rashiid]

yes damn.

[l_Will_l]

nice finally. hopefully we all are able to save some damn money after this is implemented

[Tykwa]

As long as you are revived by either Scape Doll, Giresta, or Moon (unsure) You will still be able to achieve an S rank as long as you don't return to the lobby.

[Zorafim]

Ten Moon Atomizers cost less than a single scapedoll. Behold, even more meseta in the system.

Hell, like I even care. Gib more efficient death system NAO

[Rashiid]

save money? on PC/PS- lemme stop now......

but 360 will get this soon after - Clumsy said (GM/Site Mod of official site for those who dont know)

[l_Will_l]

ONLY IF THEY REVIVE ON THEIR OWN I THINK, IDKLOL.

[F-Gattaca]

Savor it, I_Will_I, it won't be very long before the usual gang of complainers comes in to denounce how evil and how "gib easy mode nao" this change is while snarking about/mocking anyone who likes it.

As for me, I didn't think this change was coming so soon. But seriously, does anyone know if anything was changed for NPCs or PMs and how their deaths affect rank?

[Yunfa]

NPC deaths i think still effects the overall ranking, well i hope im wrong cus if tats the case i'd love to rub Bruce's bald head again and over again. >;D

180K and dropping.

Anyway this is pretty good to hear. Saves me some cash. I'll still keep at least 2 scapes on me. Though tommorow I'm going nude.

[Mayu]

Spending 50k per 10 scape dolls http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif is <.<

[WolfBlade]

this will be a great news for the new players

[Yunfa]

Im glad they changed it, now i dont have to always be on my toe against those damned Jargo's w/ their Megid spams

[Shou]

mmmm... a little taste of AoI http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

[HiroSan]

Yeah i got really excited when i found out about the updates. They're really doin some pretty good stuff for us, I'm glad they decided to take off the penalty...

*watch someone stupid accidently go back to the lobby sometime after this update and pissing off all his/her party members XD*

[landman]

I have never had to buy any scape doll and looks like I will never do http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

[Eligaz]

Meh >.> Things will be too easy like this. On the other hand it'll probably create less drama, pain and suffering. No more random person joins party, dies and someone freaks out.

This won't change people going into parties and dying; they just have to go to the lobby, now.

[landman]

Now random person will enter to the party, die and return to the lobby xDD

[Wallin]

I just saw this post on the PSU forums, hope it helps (sure cleared up things for me):

[Slasher1nOnly]

thats not for 360 is it

[csmicbcklsh]

Not yet...it's coming to 360 soon though.

[Slasher1nOnly]

ok it need 2

[HFlowen]

NPC's can die without penalty at all.

I did Sleeping warriors S2 with my PM, she died plenty of times and got up on her own. S rank still.

[panzer_unit]

OMG this is made of win and awesome. Hopefully Sega steps it up on the new missions and makes full party wipes a real threat :]

Oh wait, S2 Onmagoug's goddamned lightning.

[Kietrinia]

My Giresta's going to get a workout now, I can just tell. ^-^

[eightball]

i can finally solo(and not take ten years) and still get an s rank oh wait not yet xbox didn't get this for some reason

[Johnny_Future]

Oooooohhhh!

At least for a scooch of your old pocketwatch, people who gather around Johnny Future still have to play it cool!

Don't go hard into the corner if you can't bring it back! But when the winds of change blow, the Scorpions new track will be "ride it straight into the wall"!!!!!!

[MrNomad]

Yay for balancing mission ranks! Make way for the flooding group of n00bs dying from trying to take on 2 jarbas to using giresta on a fallen player with jarbas right behind them! ;3 pew pew

[Kylie]

It's not the BEST system they could have come up with, but it's definitely BETTER.

So yay.

[Fox_Makenshi]

Personally this is a very welcome update to me. Now all the people who have to have S-rank or they'll die can get the stick out of their ass. Before people were so serious about it, it was downright stressful playing with certain people. Now you can still play, with the same skill, but if you die you don't have to worry about getting the entire team yelling at you for 10 minutes. Especially when it's an accident like megid, giant wave of barta (Mizu S), or maybe getting surrounded and pwned. People won't just randomly lose all of their skill just because the death penalty system is more lenient.

Love,
Fox Makenshi

[Powder Keg]

Great news. I don't care what anyone says, this is definitely an improvement from how things were before.

[HandOfThornz]

Yep, im another person to comfirm this!

i've just run fight for food S2 and unsafe passage S2 with my pm and a NPC. they both die'd lots. ! didnt revive them, they naturally revived and i got S ranks on both!!!

This means finally soloing is an option with npc character's, i'm extremely happy with this =)

[Johnny_Future]

Whouh- oh!

Head on collision!

Oh, hey, jack?! Where'd the post go?

<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Johnny_Future on 2007-07-13 09:25 ]</font>

[Fox_Makenshi]

Wait.......this means that all of those Moon X's that we constantly find aren't going to be completely useless crap anymore! O_O

Love,
Fox Makenshi

[Cracka_J]

and just like that, giresta becomes king.
didn't know it was coming today, but I'm sure glad I got mine up to 21 this week. good news.
having a handful of moons on you for non ft's will be a lot more cost effective and party friendly as well.

posted months ago scapes would be worthless and now they are so yay.

[Reipard]

Now I can really be a real healbot, right down to the reviving.

It makes me a happy person.

^____^

[Realmz]

i'm still gonna carry scapes with me, but i kinda wish they'd put in like a "would you like to use a scape doll" kinda thing for it. save em for boss fights and wot wot

[Notos]

I'm still carrying dolls. Because I honestly don't feel comfortable having a friend run through a field of megid balls just to use a moon on me.

[Reipard]

Pretty soon, people will start to remember what it means to love. The love that causes one to go through Megiballs for the resurrection of another is priceless.

sounds like a great idea, actually.

the dream of S ranking dulk fakis at minimum level req. doesn't seem so far away anymore http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[DragonStorm]

YES! Im so shocked about this...I didnt think it was going to come out until Aoi but WOO! Sega has done something amazing XD, Go sega. Time to solo with NPC's and S rank! Sunday I will finally be on and hunting my crea doubles once and for all!

[360NyTeMaRe]

I don't see where on the official page it says that.

[360NyTeMaRe]

Nevermind it's only for the PS2/PC

[Powder Keg]

From now on when I die, I won't see an imaginary -5000 above my head.

[BanF]

On the official forums it has already been announced it will come to the 360 later.

[ljkkjlcm9]

now it's basically impossible not to get an S rank...

THE JACKEL

[Stezan]

Though I like this change, i will still cary a few Scapes as to not be a burden. But i have noticed some ppl being lazy. I was playing Rainbow beast and people kept using dark on Kajigabari. Some ppl dont realize it wont kill it faster if everyone is dying and needing to be revived.

[Zorafim]

Player 1 dies. Player 2 comes in, and selects a moon. Bil de Vear jumps on Player 2, causing stun, and proceeds to spin. Player 3 comes in, attempting to revive players 1 and 2, before a swarm of worms surrounds him and stun locks him with 360 knockdowns and fois. Player 4 comes in, and gets barraged by diga-vandas. Player 5 comes in, and gets stun locked by DamFoi. Player 6 somehow gets the vear to spin again.

Erm, basically, if everyone dies, there'd be nobody to revive. Even then, it'd be one letter grade down if only one person goes back to revive. I find that much more fair than getting megid'd in the face and losing 5k or a letter grade.
