NA/EU/360 content update for November 02

[EspioKaos]

Official Japanese 360 site (http://xbox360.phantasystaruniverse.jp/news/wis/?mode=view&id=107)

We're now entering week three of the 1Up Platinum Cup! Starting this Friday, "Deadly Brilliance" will be removed until November 09 and replaced with a new mission, "Elements of Unrest," which will test the luck of Guardians.

Nothing unexpected, but I thought it was still worth mentioning.

[Sylpheed]

Can you give any of the details of the mission?

Monster levels, size of the level etc.

Well, all I have to offer is this drop chart (http://psupedia.info/1Up_Platinum_Cup#Colony:_Elements_of_Unrest). And according to the Japanese wiki, C-rank will have LV20 enemies, B-rank will have LV55 enemies and A-rank will feature LV100 enemies. As for the actual mission layout... no idea! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

[Sylpheed]

Ok, thanks.

Darn, I was hoping for one of the preparing-for-AoI-updates to make things a little easier for us. >.> Wishful thinking, ne? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[Fornever]

If we follow the 2 week prior to AoI idea, we should actually be getting the AoI base updates the last week of 1up http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif Anyway AoI comes out on a tuesday so we're gonna get the update next week or the week after. Since there could be some problems, I'd think they'd do it early (early enough for us to get some more ex box drops)

[Remedy]

And so, goal 4 of the 1UP Cup begins - my hunt for at least two Gaozoran Rod boards! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

i bet we get the 'pre-aoi' stuff in the update that removes the cup - after that week we have AotI! =]

would be nice for them to throw it in the last cup week - to test the stuff in all the mission http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_evil.gif

[Sol-Edge]

So they aren't removing the Halloween theme this week?

[Remedy]

There's two pre-AotI patches, though, aren't there? That would infer we'd get the first the last week of the Cup, the second the week after the Cup, and then AotI the 20th.

[DragonStorm]

triple post >.> lol

All i can say is let my crea dub hunt and carriguine rucar hunt AND Gao Rod hunt BEGIN!...soon

On the Japanese side there were two pre-AotI patches, but that doesn't mean that we'll have two. They might combine everything into one, especially since all of the bugs have been worked out since the Japanese release. I imagine we'll see a patch such as this during our November 15 maintenance period, so we'll have the weekend to play with the new stuff. Then, there might be a mid-week maintenance on November 20 that adds the new missions and lobbies for the expansion. Of course, I'm just speculating, but we'll find out in less than three weeks! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Kion]

how many party member's are required for gc?

[EspioKaos]

This one can be soloed, but it's probably best to have a full party of four.

Colony was random, you had maybe a 1/10 chance of getting a map that could actually have all the monsters spawn in it. If you look at the first colony picture, you'll notice it shows a red arrow. You could stand there and look across at the gate to see if it was a correct map, and increase that 1/10 to about 1/3.

Bascially it went like this:

1st map: kill up the hallway, get the key, kill back down the hallway, which would lead to a portal that would send you to the lower section. Do some more killing, and get to block 2. In the bad version, the portal is blocked off, and you go straight to block 2.

2nd map: From where you start, there will be a chip behind you. If its not there, you need to goggle a piece of rubble to get it later on. After you kill the first room, a portal will spawn, that will send you to another room with firey traps. You'll continue on, till the last block, where you need to shoot a switch on the cieling, to get a chip. In the bad version of this map, instead of the portal sending you to the fire traps, it'll send you a few rooms further.

3rd map: Pretty straight forward, theres a few different paths that the chip can spawn on. In the good verison, you'll go to a 4th block, in the bad version, you'll go straight to the boss.

4th map: You fight seed magashi. Hes cake with burn traps. He can be somewhat annoying without.

Fakis: Depending on your map variant, you'll either fight a) Both forms, b) First form only, or c) Second form only. In the 10 point version of the map, I believe you only fight the second form.

Total chance of everything happening is 1/16, not 1/10. It was reduced to a rate of 1/10 during the last week, when ST decided to make the probability of getting the right maps a bit easier.

In block 2, the reason why getting sent a few rooms is bad is because if you try to backtrack, the monsters you need to kill will spawn...but they'll commit suicide 3 seconds later.

Also, you need to clobber BOTH forms of DF, otherwise your kill score is one short of what you really needed.

[Umberger]

28 minutes to get 5 points.
118 monsters to get 2 points.
1 chip is 1 point as always.

Fun stuff...any JP players want to throw their word in on whether it's recommended to go for the time+chips to get an 8, or cancel the map until you get a variant with all 118 monsters and just get the chips?

[Shiro_Ryuu]

Oh man, you need LUCK to get a 10? Wow, there goes my 30 feathers. ._.

[Zorafim]

So, basically, in order to get our 30 feathers, we have to reset until we get the right map? This does not please me very well.

So, I'll assume that C is soloable by all jobs at high level? I really want that formalwear.

Have hope! We got this mission until the bitter end so you're bound to see it a few times or more! Hopefully people won't be abandoning like made cause so far we're alil behind in points from week one. ;_;

[Mystil]

Lab S2 all over again with the abandoning..

[ChaosAngel92]

So...there is an actual chance to have the Hyper Viper Board dropped? Hmmmm, need to lock down that Har/Quick trade offering.
