I LOVE YOU ESPIOKAOS.

[DaRkWoLf30]

Wow that is crazy...I want it.

[Garnet_Moon]

Wow that universe name change is the dumbest idea i've ever heard of. Change a name, but nothing else. Marvelous idea!

[DarkShadowX]

Nice.....

[F-Gattaca]

FREE LUMILASS!?

+20% SYNTH RATE!?

Excuse me for a second, I need to pull a Chris Farley.

OHHH MYY GOOOOOOOOOOOOODDD!! *proceeds to knock over furniture and coffee tables in a stumbling spastic frenzy*

[EspioKaos]

Just in case, I want to re-stress that these updates are for the Japanese PC/PS2 servers. We won't be seeing this stuff until we get a similar event somewhere down the road. (This is, of course, depending on how well we do in said event. Also, this isn't confirmation of us getting a Famitsu Cup-esque event. Still waiting for an official announcement on that.)

On the other hand, if you guys are on the JP PC/PS2 servers and get to take part in these rewards, then celebrate away! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[Nobo]

I can't wait for when that day comes for the U.S. server I'll be poping out Ulteris and stuff like mad and also buying S-rank weapon boards 100%! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_beer.gif

Bah, we didn't even get the 15m prize.

[Rashiid]

so theres a newbie universe?

no 1337 uni? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif

Sturm Attacker :@:@:@

[ShadowDragon28]

Awesome update. I knew there was still some new content to unlock. Lucky JP gets AoI in Sept.. we probably wont get AoI until Nov or Dec. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

*Finally* the AMF SETs and the rest are released! woot.
Can't wait until we get those, and still praying to the gods that ST gives the US servers a US version of Famitsu Cup *prays*.

I really really need the Formal Wear coat... I want to be able to wear it by the time the US vers. of AoI is out (since many will probably stop wearing the same Coats, due to the new clothing in AoI >:-< )

[Theoderic]

JP didn't reach 15M? Was that the highest marker? US already failed at completing FB, although we made the point totals for the rewards, so maybe we need better coordination this time around.

[EspioKaos]

Fifteen million was actually the final marker for the Famitsu Cup. I'm still curious what the last prize would've been...

[Skye-Fox713]

DAM THOSE BASTARDS TO HELL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AARRRGGGGG.

Why do they have to make me wain't another 2 weeks before they release the AMF army bottoms set in the US

it was 25% bonus to weapon and armor synths. its a shame we couldnt make it -_-;;

[Zainith]

woot! Vigor Coat! Gotta break my hiatus to save up for when US gets it. A quick question though, what is the usual distance between JP and US updates. I think I heard it was about 3 months, can anyone give a good estimate?

We'll get it when we get it. There's no average wait, and our updates aren't prefect clones of the JP updates.

Wait and see.

[Wallin]

Okay, I obviously don't know anything about the Famitsu Cup, so please humor me.

What's this 15m you're all talking about, and how long did/does the Famitsu Cup last?

This is my "theory" that i've posted on 2 different threads.... yet no one responds to it http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

After reading and re-reading the japanese updates and info pages i have came to a specualtion of the release date of this cup in the US/UK versions!

The Japanese had an update of the rest of the nudaiz S2's and Desert Goliath S2 and a new story mission, then another update of the last 3 parum S2's.

on friday we are getting the same update with the nudaiz S2's, and the only other S2's besides HIVE is the parum ones. The Famistu cup is 5 weeks long. If we dont get it then we will be only about 3-5 weeks behind the japanese than, rather than 2- 2.5 months and the release date on the expansion would make no sense unless they gave use really small updates after that http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

So keeping on thier schedule they would have to give us something to occupy that 5 week period, if not famistu then just 5 weeks of no updates http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif Alos, if they keep their schedule of an update every other week we should get parum S2's on august 10th (same day thier removing nudaiz light festival stuff so that makes sense) then 2 weeks after that would be the Famistu(EGM?) cup!

there thats gonna be as much proof of us getting the event as your gonna get besides sega confirming it themselves!

That song for death gets handed out to how many people again?

top 100 people, which i will get even if the lack of sleep kills me O.O

[Isabella]

so wait I wonder if that was only in porportion to how many people are actually playing.
Because if the top 100 people on ps2/pc got it then that'd be like half the people total. lol......
well the people that I know.

[Alisha]

curious they still dont have the remaining ult pa's...

[Isabella]

There are still scheduled updates right?

I think this week is basically it other than new ultimate PAs and maybe the other PM devices (we still have no idea about any of the 46X or 305/306/307 PMs)...

They already have the level 100 cap, said to be the final before AoI comes out.
The last sets of clothes are coming out this update.
The 3 Attacker SUVs that weren't out are being released.
Every mission is at S2, and I doubt they'd start doing S3 missions now (that is, if they will even exist at one point)...unless they continue updating them while AoI is released/getting its own updates.
They have the 4X1/2/3/4 devices as said before.

All there is to add at this point would be completely new content, such as new missions that drop the S ranks we don't have yet.

[AxelgearVII]

o/

I have so many plans for these next 2 weeks that I can't even list them. However, I can say that they involve an armor PM, s-rank boards, high % 9 stars, shop hopping, and ALOT of S2 missions.

I agree with Shiryuu though. We didn't make the 15 mil, so we should just stay offline because losers don't deserve rewards. I have no shame.

[Ryuk_0]

song of death is a weapon i forgot which but i kno its a weapon cause when the S rank were being made that was one of the names of the boards that didn't stick

[EspioKaos]

It's a grenade launcher that looks like a guitar case. The grenades look like stars with rainbow trails. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

We are still roughly 3 months behind. Their 4-27 update is pretty much our 7-27 update.


I think they will have at least one more update. They still need a Parum Guardian's Branch party mission and a Dulk Fakis co-op mission.
