JP didn't make the final prize on Famitsu, and their points counted four times as much as ours. Plus, their final prize was 15 million (compared to our 5 million), and they had 6 weeks to our 4.

We did marvelously.

well their famistu was 5 weeks and they missed it,, when they suprisingly got their extra week they got about 16 mil -_-

but yes we are doing very good, if we got an extra week we could make it as well http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

EDIT: at least the bubs are always 50% ^.^

[beatrixkiddo]

No, even with the extra week they did not reach 15mil.

[Remedy]

Right, and their points counted for each person in the party, not just once.

Now yes, I know that not EVERY run was with 4 people, same with over here, but it does make a difference. There's a lot more 4-person parties than 2 and 1 person parties, I'd imagine.

[pikachief]

so how did they find out that their last prize was 25% increase? did they tell them afterwards or wat?

The same way we figured out all of our prizes 2 weeks ago...

[DraginHikari]

I'm feeling pretty good about 4 mil... 5 is just too much for the time remining...

i was trying to figure out how to figure that out and i guess i kept doing it wrong.....

i couldnt type in the right thing or something...

[Remedy]

The irony, I think, is that if we'd gotten the multiplied points like the JP players AND the JP point levels, I think we would actually made the final prize.

But I dunno. *shrug* Maybe I'm overestimating the number of 4-person parties.

[Dragwind]

I'd say we're doing good. I'm content with our prizes.

I am too. 15% bonus will make 10* melee 100%, 10* Casting/Ranged weapons 96%, and 10* armor 90%. Nothing to turn your nose up to.

[Flwl3ssCowboy]

Awesome. We worked our asses off for a pretty useless weapon. ¬_¬

[DUN]

Think we will make it to 5mil?

[Remedy]

If we got even a single extra week, yes. As it stands, very likely not.

Unfortunately, we just simply CAN'T get an extra week, because an extra week would leak over into AotI's release. :|

[pikachief]

and because they would have to update us on thanksgiving.... i dont think we'll get an update then.... no work http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[Esufer]

Makeovers are free. Good God.

:D:D:D:D!!

heh, I can now add one more rare to my sad collection or rares http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif. Ah well, I am most satisified with my level gains. From 35 to 54, now that is what I call playing catchup! Besides I'm no rare hunter anyway. Thank you Sega for the chance to catch up, even if it is a little. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

what element are our bulbs?

[HFlowen]

Any, it's a board.

It should have a 100% success rate and dish out 50% of whatever element you make it. That's how famitsu was anyway.

Were that the case, we'd have hit it last week, at the very latest.

[Remedy]

Probably. We're not on even ground at all, and it's completely unfair to compare our progress to Famitsu's.

[R2R_Crysaki]

at least in AOI we can try out all the new clothing half-priced and mess around with our faces for free

Had they set it up the way they had in Famitsu, I think a fair point target would have been 10 million. Assuming the missions were run in 3 man groups (middle ground between 2 man and 4 man) we'd be less than a million points off, making it not out of reach, but not a piece of cake either.

They way they changed it around seems idiotic to me. They cut our point total to a third of the JP total, but reduced our potential point accumulation to a quarter of the Japanese. That doesn't add up.

[Remedy]

It wouldn't even be an issue of thirding our total and quartering our points per run if they'd given us the full five weeks like they got. (Not counting the 6th week due to technical issues) We've been doing roughly a steady million points a week - we could have 5m if we got five weeks. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_mad.gif

[stukasa]

20% synthing bonus would have been nice but I'll be satisfied with 15%. Add that to the boost we're getting from AoI and I can't really complain. *has a stockroom full of S-rank boards waiting to be cooked* http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[biggabertha]

Awesome! Now, who's going to NOT put Ray Photons in there?

Anyone willing to make a neutral one?

[Remedy]

I might.

I wonder if they'll come out 50% Neutral. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wacko.gif

[omegapirate2k]

Hopefully we make 4 mil.

[ThEoRy]

Come on now. You didn't really think a Japanese company would let some Americans show them up at their own game did ya? Think about it. They get 6 weeks, we get 4. They get quadruple point totals, we don't. And don't give me any crap about "oh but they had tech. difficulties during their event". Like we didn't? How many times did you freeze up at DeRagnus? I know I did. A lot. "Oh look at how little points the American servers have, ha ha ha". Whatever. It's all just so they can feel better about having much much smaller penises.

[Remedy]

I didn't, but yeah, 360, ragnus, etc.

It's pretty lame, but oh well. Like I said, 15% Synth bonus will get all 10* elemental stuff to 90% or better. 11* will all be 100% (other than armor, IIRC).

[Zorafim]

Why would we want these as a prize? I have four of these in my PM just from playing the event itself.

[Remedy]

You have single Fluorescent Bulbs. Not Twins. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[RadiantLegend]

Lets get that 4mil. >_< im putting all my hopes on it

[buzyb77]

wow 360...has troubles and the Tally Slows to a Crawl....

Can't wait till we get back online tomorrow...

[White_Mage]

i remember reading back when JP finshed famitsu that the flouresent light bulb boards come out at 50%.correct me if i am wrong >.>

http://phantasystaruniverse.jp/event/famitsucup2007/reward.html

Where do people get the misconception that on the JP servers the points were multiplied by the number of players in that party? If the party scores 8, then the tally only gets 8, not 32.

If you want to reason why there was more points scored, its due to leaderboards, and time attack. though the days where their leaderboard/point coint database decided to glitch did not help at all. We flat out failed because it got boring. Even the extra week did nothing, since that week amounted to like, 300k.

[Remedy]

...because JP players told us so? *shrug* My apologies.

[pikachief]

yea all my friends ask y they failed. I tell them "JP play the game for fun. They got bored of the same runs and went to do others. We are jsut doing the runs for greed. thus we stay and continue to do the mindless runs. Why else do we have seabed?"

[Mystil]

Uhmm....

We weren't going to get 5mil even if we had a lot of people. Because the community wrote itself off from day 1. Basically...there was no confidence in the community and it used a pointless gauge to say we're not "close-knit" which is not true. Now call my bitter, or even tired. I've had to sit though stubborn FTs saying this and that about a class they continue to play, and continue seeing the community down itself.

I've participated in 1UP for everyday it's been out for 6-7hours a day, I pulled a lot of my weight. Go to hell if 4million is'nt good.
