Anyone else think it's just gonna be normal maintenance? The last week's lack of maintenance left me thinking we'd be pushed back a week (wouldn't surprise me).

I'm really not enjoying Fami's chances right now, it's got a lot against it. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

Same, it's very surprising we haven't heard anything about it. Maybe they're just keeping suspense? I really don't see a reason NOT to release it, but with all the delays and lack of info, it doesn't seem likely.

For some reason it won't directly go to the page but just click on the JP side, then click on the 360 version of PSU.

They usually update that page on tuesdays.

If anything they should be updating us on hacking reimbursements for the 24th.

thats taken from teh JP 360 site, so im pretty sure they're not skipping this week

Man, I'm praying we get somekind of US version of the Famitsu Cup soon. At least some kind of official annoucement or something. I hope every US player is mailing Sega requesting it.

*prays* please ST & Sega please give us the Event. PLEASE!

I would even buy the PSU texter if it would some how contriute to us getting famitsu.
More exp, tons of drops, and fun missions? HEL YEAH. If jaggo acte's are going to be around until september 14, i'd expect an announcement soon and then maybe famitsu after the next update.

I've been saying if we do get whatever they name the Famicup it will start 8-31. So if we don't get it 8-31 we won't get it at all. There is already a problem with the update schedule for NA/EU. This version of psu could possibly get an update after AOI is released in NA/EU because of the 4-5 weeks longer we are behind than we should be.

It's a possibility that that could just happen. I don't think every player is going to upgrade to AOI.

So can someone please explain to me why the Cup must come before the expansion? That "because the japanese got it like that" reason doesn't hold water.

[EDIT] Edited because I stupidly used a derogatory term; got called on the carpet for it. Won't happen again (I hope >_>;) and I apologize to anyone who was offended by the term.

No. I routinely found rares in PSO. At least if I found a lesser rare in PSO, maybe it had hit% or some monster% that made it useful. At the very least there was the moment of not knowing if it had good percents. Most rares had a special and looked different than the vulcans, lasers, et al. In PSU, these weapons are scarcer than a virgin in a prep school. In PSU, I find, maybe once a month, a 9 star board. I have well over 1200 hours, I'd bet, and have seen maybe 4 srank board drops.

So I'll choose to be disappointed despite your condescension and stupid bracket eyes, thank you very much.

Nope just another stupid rumor that started on the 360 demo and migrated to the real 360 server and finally propagated on various message boards.

Para
Aug 21, 2007, 09:51 AM
Yeah Icebreak is a horrible dumb rumour.

Its most likely normal maintenance this week since we didn't have maintenance last week... and something about on the xbox 360 website saying something about being maintenance on an older news post.

Keep in mind that the Japanese PC/PS2 servers didn't have a regular maintenance period last week (just like use) due to SOJ employees being on summer vacation, but they're getting an update this week. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that we get some kind of actual update this week, too, but we'll find out soon enough. Also, they use the term "maintenance" in a general sense, whether its adding new content or just normal server maintenance. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif

No need for name calling... I just don't understand why if you're so continuly upset with "Sega" why you put in the time then... They already said they're going to change the way the drop system is in the expansion.

Just like with PSO, it wasn't perfect on the first try. Stop being so hard on Sega all the time, it's not like you're exactly speeding up the process yourself. and I like my "stupid bracket faces" thank you very much http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

They'll announce it today if we're getting it Friday, I think. But I think they would have at least announced it on PSU 360 JP already because they usually get news ahead of us. =/ I don't see them just sticking it on Friday and saying, "Surprise!," so I really don't know at this point. Meh, I really want The Cup, so whatever.

As long as they offer the rappy suit for sale, and have random drops of the special event items, I wouldn't care about Famitsu. Hell, maybe not getting Famitsu would speed up English AoI.

BanF
Aug 21, 2007, 11:37 AM
It's been proven your life will be so much better after Famitsu.

You will become more attractive, begin to earn money at an incredible rate (even if you don't work), you will become famous and popular, and your health will improve so much you'll never even get a headache again and will live to be 400 years old like Methuselah.

Oh yeah, and you'll be able to go Super Saiyan.

just to let u know its also not as easy as everyone makes it out to be, they just hear stuff from all the lucky people and assume thats how it all goes.

I'm pretty sure if u play this event casually u could probably find 2 S ranks and 1 A rank unit at most. If u play it 10-20 hours a day then yes u will most likely get a pallet of S ranks and some good units. If you dont play like a madman, then no u will get a small set of good stuff like how u should.

So with everyone thinking we're gonna get stuff practically handed to us, calm down we arent.

yea it was 5 me quicks and ya know there has been people who've gotten 7 boards in a week with the current drop rate (curse that one random guy who ran around showing off his 1 week effort)

there are also someone in the famitsu who played the whole week at nudaiz and saw 3 uransaras drop. im not sure if they even got any.

THey said that the large monsters had easy S ranks to get but the smaller monster S ranks were still pretty rare so please calm down and stop making assumptions.

we will hopefully get this soon. and all haters are acting like your losing your items, just because some people are gonna get them easier, so wat? your gonna ge tmore just as easy too.

Maybe they have no life? You haven't realized yet that some of these import players have seemly no life and do whatever will make them richer (so they can then flaunt their ego amongst their tiny group)?

Stuff is more common, yes but hardly what 90% of the people spamming these fami topics seem to think it is. If the EN version does get this event, you'll probably be seeing more posts about people complaining about not finding anything worthwhile than people complaining about not getting it at all.

Agree.

This is where my conflict is. I enjoy spending some time hunting for nice equips that me or my buds can use. I spend 3 weeks average to get an S rank (except for my recent 2 month S rank drought). Now all of that damned time is wasted because of this event. But I still want it. Why?

SO I CAN GET THE SHIT I WANT AND STOP WASTING HOURS OF MY LIFE TO GET IT.

I've dropped rare hunting almost completely. Why work for a status symbol which is just going to label me as an "elitist" or someone with no life, or just get dirty looks from other people who wish they had the luck, not skill, I had.

But the reason I clung to the game was to hunt my Ragnus/Halp/Agito etc. I CAN'T HUNT. I DON'T WANT TO HUNT. What is there left for me to do in this game?

/off-topic

My doubt of Fami is increasing every day. To announce it now would just be anti-climactic.

Any such suicides will just strengthen the game populace and the human species as a whole. Each and everyone of those who kill themselves over a stupid event will have certainly earned their Darwin Award.



Simple roof jumpings, wrist cuttings and bleach drinkings probably won't make the cut for a Darwin. Let's keep an eye out for the more creative suicides... http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

I've been trying to grind up some Cubo Dungas especially for when this comes out.

Although I do believe the chances of this event actually coming out are getting less and less every day.

ESPECIALLY us getting it before the end of the month (sorry pikachief)

I am getting more pesamistic to. The thing is though if we are going to get an update this week, what will it be?

People forget that Famitsu is not one big evnt, it is like Firebreak in the sense that missions are rolled out gradually, ie there will be a first set and so on.

It's therefore still possible that the first set of missions could come out this Friday.... then Sega will prob we our public hero numer 1.... and the if I worked for` them I'd be roflmao..

If not... I guess I'll be spending more time on WoW... especially as i got a week holiday next week so I guess I'll have thw window to spend quality time on either game.

Seriously, I doubt anything is going to happen Friday. There would have been news already, but there is none. But what updates do we have left without event? We've gotten almost all S2's, except Hive missions. Maybe they should just give us that right now.

The only missions we're missing compared to the Japanese servers are:

* Dark Satellite S2
* SEED Awakened S2
* Chapter 10: Ambition of the Illuminus
* Battle at the Ruins (C - S2)
* Darkness Leads to the True Shadow (C - S2)

I think that's everything.

At this point, I think it's fairly obvious that we won't be getting any US variant of the Famicup this month. So personally, as long as we do get an update and not just a week-late maintenance, I'll be happy.

I don't know why everyone is making 8-24 the doomsday for not getting famicup, it is 8-31 that is the deadline that I have been saying for over a month now.

There are some rumors that they will sneak in an unannouced update 8-24 for our server but I don't believe it at all.

AoI is supposed to be coming out sometime in late November or sometime in December, although an exact release date hasn't been confirmed. I would say that after the Fireworks event and before the Halloween event would be the more opportune time to release any sort of FamiCup event. Unless they plan on not giving us the rest of the available content until after AoI releases.

Ooo that's right! MH2 is coming soon! I'm looking forward to Phoenix Wright 3 myself. Playing those games was a great way to pass time while I was leveling bullets on Violet, since you only needed one hand lol.

The DS should be able to survive that. my two screens snapped and seperated, and with a little super glue, it's good as new.

I have both of them, and love them both.

However, lack of online play for the MH freedom series just makes me sad. Best part of monster hunter was king of the hill matches with barrel bombs and lances in area 5 of forest and hills (the big cliff area.) Good times...

What all the anti-famitsus don't realize is...
that it is NOT going to let out ALL THE RARES IN THE GAME.

The EX missions don't drop every rare. There is NO CHANCE AT ALL for some of the rares. There's a set variety of rares to drop on there. Like, it's not going to be handing out Tyrant Spadas and Double Serafis and Sonic Knuckles and stuff that's not even released yet over here.

So any "I wont be l33t anymore" arguement is void if they had something not on the cup's drop list. It doesn't void all rares forever either by making them "Not Rare", because of course stuff not on the list you still gotta do the old fashion way--luck into it.

What it is, is a chance for all the people who say "But...but I've played for X months XX hrs/day and got NOTHING to show for it" (yes I'm one of them) to be able to have a *darn good* chance for something that's somewhat awesome. They're not gonna be droppin' like [b] Monomate or wencalines, but it's a fighting chance.

It is also something else to keep people playing/paying. It's stuff like this is why WE PAY for the game. We're paying for dynamic content/safety/updates etc.

The other thing is, Illum is going to (likely) void all our current (mediocre-mid-grade) rares with better rares anyway. (AKA: everything we already have released now, just about)
Everyone is already complaining how grinded lower stars are better than Sranks. So yea if you can score a 12 star on here it could hold it's own in AOI but your chance on that is horrid. (which AOI is fixing...another strike against this area. No one will want to play PSU's BS drop rate areas unless they have to--you know all the newest 'fashions' are going to come out of new monsters in the new areas)

Also it's going to void all our areas by letting out new fun areas/monsters. The problem with FC coming out after illum is...who will care by that point? Everyone's already seen how "people" flock to any new mission and ignore all the old ones. AOI will have that to the n'th degree simply becuase it's AOI. Who's gonna want to go round up some weps that can't damage anyone in the new areas while ignoring everything new AOI has to offer by playing obsolete FamCup?

However, no one will read this because it's on page six.

It's not about being 1337. It's about SOME S-ranks being close to worthless (The ones that are really hard to get now). If we get the cup I feel sorry for those 3 or 4 Rucar's on the 360 server.

Anyway..
I upgraded to 3.5 when I got my tomb raider game, but if my friend is right, liberty city stories comes with version 1.5 or w/e and allows you to easily emulate. >.>
'course, I'm mostly just looking to emulate chrono cross cause my disc got scratched to oblivion. =/

I'll be puttin Super mario RPG and Earthbound on there for the sake of the fact that they're not available on the DS.. Dam shame about these 2 titles not available to the modern gamers. =/

And Raine, I'm gonna be borrowing my friend's copy to see how it is before I decide to get it or not.. (He doesn't have a PSP yet so I'll easily be able to get it from him for a bit, since he's gonna be borrowing the PSP to play it when he gets it.

No it's not. It's an offline mission.

What is the ice mission from the vio tonga lobby then? I'm not talking about the ice cave mission from AOI. There was information about an ice mission there on psupedia before the jp server had their max attack but the info was removed when it was decided that psupedia would only show missions that are currently on US servers and that are coming in the expansion.

There is no mission that starts at Vio Tonga. Not yet, at least. There's a gate there, but it is still locked. It'll probably open in the expansion, possibly a way back to Granigs Mine or something.

Anyway, there's never been any official mention of an ice mission coming out, only rumors. A lot of rumors.

It was open on the beta and lead to the first mission in the new moatoob area that was available there, which funny enough had ice enemies like what you find in the mission that everyone desires.

They really need to make a true ice area though. The Absolute Zero area was just ice SEED infected desert and the mission with ice enemies on the beta wasn't really all that icetastic either ;x
