We have to have 2,250,000 by tomorrow (read: ROFL) to make the goal. Is there a chance of a surge of ppl coming back/regaining interest in the last week of the cup? Or are we screwed?

Screwed.

If by "screwed" you mean "we won't hit the 5,000,000 mark", then yes Virginia, we are screwed.

On the plus side, I believe we'll easily reach 2,250,000 by update. On the minus side, we need 2,500,000.

There will probably be SOME more people for the last week.

I'm really pissed that we got one week of Parum AND Mot, two missions with high-frequency drops that I want, and then one week of goddamned nothing but Neudaiz rares that I don't care about and that wouldn't drop even if I did. I've seen SO many S-rank drops on Mot, and all of one Orpa-Senba and one Me/Quick so far on Neu.

I'm hoping now that we get up to 4 million. I believe part of the slowdown is the length of the Neudaiz mission. You can almost clear parum twice in the time it takes to do Neudaiz once which just means more points. Depending how long the Guardian's colony mission is we could be in for more of the same next week points wise.

I'd say we're screwed. Though honestly, I'm in this just for 3 mil (free makeovers). No doubt I'm going to spend a lot of time tooling around with my face until I get it right. It'd be nice if it were free.

We had this problem last week, too. If anything, we're getting more points this week than last.

I expect the point gain per day to be less for the colony mission. But I'm hoping we can reach 4 million by the end of the event.

WE'll get a surge in the last week with all the 3rd EX missions though I'm not convinved we can hit 5mil. I think we'll be just shy of it.

we are somewhat screwed because a lot of pepole are rappie hunting then anything else and a lot of people are waiting for AOTI to come out. so we be lucky to reach 3 or 4 million by the end of this event.

I see no reason why we should not make it.

Most of the points we have now came from Parum/Moatoob.

Neudaiz is a slow point gainer because most people do not want to run it (useless drops are too common and the drops that are not useless are too rare) and the average team takes more than 30 minutes to finish one run coupled with an EX mission.

We have about two and a half weeks before this event is over with one of those weeks bringing back the high gainers Parum and Moatoob. We do not even know how fast the Guardian's Colony will gain points and that is also a factor.

I think the Guardian's Colony will be a huge point gainer. I know that I will be spamming the Guardian's colony more than any of the other missions for the Hard / HP Restore and Cubo Tuma. There are also other important sources of loot from this mission like the Gaozoran Rod and other popular S ranks for the melee folk and these s ranks are the second best known in the game currently...

We'll make up the difference over the weekend. We were behind coming out of last week as well and by the end of the weekend we were ahead of where we needed to be.

I'd agree that at the moment its just the fact that we only have the neudaiz mission is slowing us down atm. Once we get all of them back, I have hope that we'll make it, or at least come close.

Hardly, we'll definitely make 3 million, and most likely we'll make 4 million with some to spare. We're going to hit 2 million tonight and we still have whole day before we enter week 3. If we continue at a million per week, which we likely will, then we have no problem getting to 4.

Seeing as how the rappy feathers will be dropping based on getting 10/10 on missions, the likelihood of reaching at least 4 if not 5 (haha) million on the final week is pretty good.

O.o 3 to 4 million were definitely making it up to 4 mill+.

If they take out Hallorappies this update or the next one, expect even MORE people hunting regular rappies....

i wanted to use the 1up missions to level but neudaiz kind of put me off, its a long mission with little benefits until you play it on A rank and even then gaining the benefits is not casual gamer friendly.

so after i finally got A on all three ranks i took a breather i plan to lvl up in the next two weeks instead.

My experience has yielded maybe like 4 feathers in all the soloing I did, not worth the trouble. Creating level 1's over and over to run through all the C ranks and get 30 feathers, now that's a bit more profitable for the time I'd put into it.

yea nedeiz sukks, bring me something better and il be surging again,

Neudeiz sucks because the drop rates are fucking shit. Even with fucking 500% drop boost Ive still yet to see a fucking Hirokiteri

Personally I don't see what reward is so special from G. Colony, unless you're a fan of double sabers...

You could argue that the Gaozoran Rod is nice, but I thought most people were going to be using Wands and Madoogs come the expansion.

I guess I'm probably in the minority here and I only do runs when I'm not preoccupied with homework/projects. I know for sure I'm going to be doing a whole crapload of runs when all the missions are unlocked. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Erm... Does anyone have a link to what rewards we get for the point value?

If there's a surge, I won't be part of it. That's for certain.

Guardians' Colony will be when your points REALLY drop. Consider this: How many of you are going to want your 30 feathers per rank and your rappy suit? Pretty much all of you. Guardians' Colony is so luck based I wouldn't be surprised if the lot of players start mission cancelling because something didn't happen. If you run it through, you can usually get an 8. But only 1/16th of your runs will actually get the 10...

We can probably still make 4 mil, which is still a nice reward. If we can make 2 mil in 2 weeks, 4 mil is surely possible. I bet the last week will yield a larger point gain because all the missions are available.
