The road to 4 million~

[Helly]

Time to get motivated!

When friday began we needed 987,076 points to reach the 4 million mark. How are we doing so far?


What we Gained | Needed | Day over Day

Fri: 199,243 | 787,833 | n/a
Sat: 198,269 | 589,564 | -974
Sun: 190,628 | 398,936 | -7,641
Mon: 155,454 | 243,482 | -35,174
Tue: 146,415 | 97,067 | -9,039 *
Wed: 140,021 | -42,954 | -6,394 **
Thu: n/a | n/a | n/a


We did it! We reached 4 million with more than a full day to spare! Yay!


* Missed the 2 a.m. totals so its got a half hour from wednesday mixed in.
** Missing a half hour of data since tuesday's error absorbed it.

Probably not, unfortunately. The points gained during weekdays is going to be significantly smaller than the weekends, and the combination of a decreased population and access to four missions...parties may be hard to find for some. I'm not saying it's impossible...but I doubt we will achieve that goal.

[GuardianPoe]

We're already almost halfway there. I think four million will be easy. It's the fiver that'll be tough.

[Remedy]

Yeah, but 15% success will be good enough to make most 10* weapons nearly 100%.

10* elemental Melee: 88% (100% with 15% bonus)
10* Casting/Ranged: 81% (96% with 15% bonus)
10* elemental Armor: 75% (90% with 15% bonus)

Really and truly, the only people who NEED the 20% bonus are people mass-synthing 9* stuff after the bonuses and AotI changes come out. (66% for elemental Melee and 61% for Ranged, Casting, and elemental Armor)

<Disclaimer: All numbers are off JP Wiki and assume pure PMs>

[Alamar]

we will get 4 mill. But no where near 5.

[Sylpheed]

People are kidding themselves if they think we will make 5mil. It wont be done ill make a guess and say we'll be about 300k off the 5m mark. But hey prove me wrong!

[Krisan]

300k? Heh, no, probably more like 600-900k. =P
We're barely pulling 200k a day right now.. If we hold a steady 200k a day then we'll have 4mil after five days of this week have passed.. that leaves only two days left.. yea, that means we'd be 600k off by the time the event was over. But honestly, I don't see us holding 200k a day anyway, so chances are we're going to be closer to 900k off. Sucks eh? Oh well..

[jayster]

Don't worry guys, I'm taking a break from cod4 for the next couple days to hunt my shigga desta and blackbull before the events over!

[Wallin]

So I've heard this in random places and haven't really had it confirmed - people have said in the Famitsu Cup the synthesis bonus got capped somewhere to 90% or something. If that's true, and since I know some people don't care about having pure PMs anyway, does the extra 5% from the 5 million even make that much of a difference?

[Remedy]

NO

NO NO NO NO NO NO THE FUCKING RATES ARE NOT CAPPED AT 90% JESUS CHRIST

Sorry, had to get that out of my system.

[Helly]

Update time!


Sun: 190,628 | 398,936 | -7,641


Ow! What a dropoff! From 1,000 to 7,600! If it gets much worse... oh...

Average needed for the next four days is 99,734 points. That's gonna be hard considering we're now into the weekdays. ;_;

[RedCoKid]

I was expecting less yesterday. Toward the end of last week, we were getting 100k/day in Colony, which wasn't as popular as any of the other missions. Today should give some indication where we'll end up.

[DesertGunner]

It's around 3,680,000 right now.

[RedCoKid]

3,632,163

[Helly]

STOP!

Points Time!


Mon: 155,454 | 243,482 | -35,174


Although we dropped nearly 5x the amount of points lost sunday, monday was pretty impressive for a weekday! Well over 150,000 points gained!

That helps the average out alot. Now we're down to needing 81,161 points in each of the three remaining days. That should be do-able right?

We'll have to wait and see what if any the Live maintenance has on tuesdays gains.

[RedCoKid]

3,923,977

We should hit 4,000,000 sometime today. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif Good job, everyone!

[ChaosAngel92]

Sorry if this has been asnwered already, but what is the prize of 4mil and 5mil?

[HiroSan]

Yeah i'd like to know that too...I'm sure i'll find out myself what the 4mil prize is, but is 5 mil points just an extra 5% added to synthesis success rates? if so i'm sure we can all live w/o that. heh.

[RedCoKid]

4 & 5 mil are 15 & 20 total % increases in synth rates for weapons/armor, respectively.

[HiroSan]

oh pfft fuck that shit then, 4 mil is good enough for me, 20% is "nice" but 15% increase is pretty good as is...besides we all know how much Sega likes to bend us over and take it up the ass anyways when it comes to synths (I'm sure we've all had our 90% Success Rate Creas failed on us before >.> i can say i have <.<)
