View Full Version : who's not taking advantage of 3 star holy light?

i just realised i havent been online in over 3 days.

thats 3 days of 3 star holy light wasted.

and you know what?

i aint bovvered.

thats right, after all the time i put in to help reach the firebreak total i'm not bothered i'm losing out on the luck reward.i got the frying pan, i took advantage of the discount clothes prices i know have 99 percent of the parts for female casts and most of the female clothes i could ever want but i'm not really doing anything when it comes to the 3 star stuff maybe its the fact that for the longest time the luck on psu has been damn shady, maybe its slight burnout but i do know part of the reason is my characters are all too low to take advantage of the 3 star luck to grind or synth anything of worth. i mean lets be honest a level 20 cast* whose only a lvl 3 fightgunner with a lvl 25 pm and only 2 b weps is hardly going to get a rare weapon [b]oard on a run heck most c and b weps dont drop untill you do the high stuff means synthing or grinding is a waste and unless i'm soloing which is hard with low end characters i end up running around at 11pm GMT repeating HSM on C because thats the only place i can find a team consistantly

but getting back to the point who else for whatever reason is not really taking advantage(if it is an advantage) of the 3 star holy light week?



*i do have a lvl 42 human female ff but she's at that weird stage where lvling up is tedious on c and most b runs solo and i cant commit the time to lvl solo and with hsm getting so spammed...

The way luck works is this....

You only get things when you don't neccessarily need them, or when you try hard to get something you won't always get it.
So in the end luck doesn't matter. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

half the reason why the economy is Effed up on 360 is bc ppl flood to money runs and noone farms. On top of that the drop rates for stuff sucks

i think i'm close to that stage myself. the rare-synth-grind-mesta situation is so broke right now its getting frustrating so much hard work for so little rewards! i mean i got to fightgunner only to discover that dispite the fact that claws, and double sabers are in my wep list i cant use them and probably wont be able to use them till i hit the mid 30's and the truely rewarding stuff doesnt hit till your in the 50-60 range and when it drops its a board which you spend forever to find all the materials only to have it fail to synth but if you get lucky and the synth succeedsn you try to find it onlly to have it break really puts a dampener on the game and dont forget the huge devide between high end and new players most high players are off in s2 and the lower players are struggling to find a decent highlevel player to help them get through the missions and level themselves or having to solo to do the same.

thats why i'm hoping aoi revitalises the economy-rare-synth-grind aspect, as well as the comunity aspect


oh god i just read what i wrote above i really am whining arent i?

Well, I didn't grind anything as of yet. Also I heard luck doesn't effect rare drops anyway so I guess I haven't taken advantage of it http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif.

Vanhalen u are a smart cookie man Van is right luck does not effect what drops but how rare it is which i find that to be a complete waste of time farming stuff so i have given up if i find it big whoop it happens then i also have to worry about is it gonna fail or make or how much i can sell it for

Meh, I'll never get an S rank, so why bother? I'll rather just level up and then work on my alts cuz lets face it, my luck sux and I won't get anything. If I solo, I'll take too long and if I'm in a group, even if there is a drop, it'll fall in the hands of the wrong person. Yeah, I just give up on S ranks.

No one gets anything on 3* luck... grind your weapons and ignore the sparkles...

It's not that no one's abusing their luck, it's that they can't.

I'm not taking advantage of it because I don't have any characters that are high enough for rare hunting, so it's rather boring right now. I tried for a couple of hours to get any rare maps for Rappies and those things that drop the Black Heart, never saw anything, so it was just a waste of time.

*raises hand*

Screw 3 luck.. I'm tech leveling. 30's ->gidiga, gibarta, gizonde, razonde, radiga, rafoie, and gifoie is on it's way (25)
All since friday's update. Not even mentioning the ones I maxed since I started this game..
I think I'm just about ready to switch back to my fG or FG. >.>

pretty much wasting it, i've been too busy with life outside of gaming i haven't put much effort into finding stuff. my hunt for S ranks is going no where, i get tired of hunting solo for fear that someone else will get something i've worked so hard to get.

My 360 is at the repair center (has been since before Firebreak ended), so I'm missing out. Apparently they're getting a larger amount of repair orders in than normal because they extended their warranty. That guy better not have been BSing me when he told me I'd only have to wait another week. I want to play mah gamez. T_T

Since last week backwards compatibility update I've been playing Morrowind for 3 days lol yesterday I partied with my friends at lvl 85 and I am half way to 81

The only think I have tried to rarehunt are materials but I haven't seen many of them :S and with the new rebalanced missions it is more boring/hard since there are less enemies

i was on the first day of kuck week, didnt hunt anything, spent my time lving once then getting my ass handed to me by ragan for the hell of it. (with tincanpowerranger-halen of course =P)

after that i havent been on. XD pso rocks, i actually get rares and if i see one, I KNOW 100% that its mine forever till i trade. =]

rather than psu where i find a rare board

creadoubles! woot found em

made a 100 strk pm just for that, poof, creadoubles broke.

there goes fuckin psu out the window.

no seriously, i threw it out the window and i think a little kid from across the street picked it up, im debating on wether i should go get it back or not XD.

Now now, it's a game, don't be that aggressive. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif lol


I saw Giga / Skill, Huge Cutter, Svaltus Sword, 5 Stormlines and a lot of other things drop this week. X_x
I got one of the Stormlines which I entrusted to Raiden, which succeeded and got a decent light %. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Well yeah, abusing my luck? How so?x.x lol I don't want anything except lvl 30 PAs and the Psycho Wand. XD

I've been grinding S2s for the last 3 days, and I have never (including the 750 hours before the week luck started) seen an S-rank drop.

lol I just thought about giving up on Orgdus.
Fuxxing 3 star luck is confusing me.
It doesn't affect the drops yet I want to hunt huge Cutter because of that. -_-
Guess I'll either do other things, afk, help other people, play my alt or lvl up spells. lol D:

I think there will be one day where ST "fixes" (yes fixes because its broken righ now) the Drop rate for rare items. Dont worry http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif >>>>>>>>>>>> AXIMUM ATTACK PSU 10 X DROP RATE FTW!!!

I'm not, considering that I broke 3 of my A Rank weapons. On the first grind. And I have exactly....100k meseta.

Life must hate me.

Theres nothing i can do to take advantage of it. I'm poor and not high enough level to hunt good rares.

Tell me how to take advantage of 3Luck (besides grinding) and I would. I haven't really found any more supposedly awesome shit on 3Luck than I do on 0Luck. The best things I found was on 0Luck.

0Luck > 3Luck.

I was benefitting from 3* luck, but since I'm here babbling about the [B] 2 - Headed Ragnus I just found, I guess I'm not out exploiting my luck very much am I? Lol.

Amen, brother. That's my fault, though. I'm training two characters because I can't decide who to level to cap first. I would probably be in the 70's if I didn't have an alt. Plus I'm focused on MP and $$, not exp ATM. So I level SLOW...

Holy light hasn't really made me any luckier finding rares either...oh well. Least I have a pretty light next to my name for a while.

My internet sucks. Haven't logged in all week cause, let's face it, you can't do anything on PSU in 3 minute segments.

Well I just started this game so the benefits for the Luck thing wont be experienced to the fullest...however...I've heard from higher leveled people that it doesn't really make a difference, maybe they are confusing luck with drop rates? I know drop rates didn't change....just the luck so if its really the same then I didn't really need it.
