View Full Version : The Casino is a good addition, but we need more...

Not a whining topic, more like a suggestion topic.

First of all, the Casino is great. It's awesome to know at 7pm everyday I get a coin to go gamble with, and having them only come once a day, and not by buying them with meseta, makes them valuable and nerve-wracking as you watch the roulette spin.

Now what this game needs is more nonsense meeting places. Yes, the casino has prizes, which make it meaningful, but it's still different from the core of the game, and that's what makes it so special. They need more places like the casino in PSU.

How about a shooting gallery? Like an obstacle course where you start off in a block, run to a circle in the ground, then start aiming at targets popping up everywhere. Then when you finish, you get C, B, A, or S rank and prizes to match.

Or bring back the soccer minigame in PSO, and not only make it playable (PSO soccer was lame), but make it so you can organize matches and tournaments. How about structure it around the actual game, where hunters can knock the ball around with weapons, and rangers can snipe the ball away right at the last second...while forces can just spam dambarta as a goalie.

Any other suggestions?

All I know is that we need Black Jack in the Casino. I think maybe a full Carnival area would be nice too.

Chair racing dammit! That was more of an unofficial activity, but I still stand by the necessity of movable chairs.

PSO Ep1&2 chairs were great. I was actually thinking about how much we need them back...

Ah well. Next expansion! (Make sure someone suggests that next time Sega does a survey! ;p)

Some Mini-Games would be fun. Maybe an arcade where you could play old sonic games. Add a racing mode to them.

If this game had a blackjack and poker mini game area, my husband would make a character and never leave the Casino Voyal! XD

i was really surprised with the lay out of roulette. using japanese characters looks insanely stylish, but it's kind of hard to make sense of. could take alittle time to get used to.

and giving out coins is actually a smart move. if they made it so you could buy coins; the economy would suffer from a massive gambling addiction. One silver soin a day goes way to fast though. I think they should dish out 5 silver coins a day and raise the costs of the prizes. Naturally i think they should also balance it so there's a slightly less chance of it landing on 0 or 00 (that gives the house the edge), so that there's a higher chance of pay out.

there's more content coming. interactive room features, the luck granting girl on neudaiz, and more lobbies. we have more coming so it may take a few months to see what content is on the disk. it might be a little to soon to whine give suggestons before we even see what they have planned. then we can complain http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif.

My vote is to exspand the living areas. You could live on a hall, so that you could choose who you wanted to live with and walk inbetween and hang out. So each guild would basically get their own private area. In addition to havign rooms linkd and roamable, there could be a side area with a lounge that could have it's separte customizable area with it's own customizable area and special room tickets granted only after completeing certain quests as a team.

Those aren't Japanese characters. Just odd number symbols:

0 = 0
. = 1
| = 5
+ = 10

"Red" and "Black" are written in Moatoob script, but in English.

Nov 25, 2007, 04:18 AM
thanks for pointing that out, i just saw the '+'s and i thought of the character for 10. '.' is pretty close to '-', and then a five and two ones kinda looked like the character for 6 from the side.

Oh yeah, I agree to that too.

I so wish this kind of item really existed in game:

"Ragol Retro Chair: A big, mobile, and puffy inflatable chair that fits comfortably in your pocket that you can take and use anywhere." Make it in the same style as the PSO lobby chairs with multiple colors and we'd have our chair racing steeds!

Yes, the casino is an excellent break from the missions. We need more amusing activites like it.

I second the idea of bringing back the soccer arenas from PSO old school. With a better physics engine it could be a lot of fun. I don't think it should be anything formal..just casual like it was.

Black jack, I'm for it. And airboards like Sonic Riders, minus the lame and cheesy cutscenes.

You win. This would be awesome, and I'm not even in a guild. This would be a huge step fowrard for any mmo and just plain cool.

Floader races, and be able to bet on them sounds fun.

The The idea of there being separate floors and halls for apartments sounds cool too. The only thing I would rather not have if this comes true is that our shops not be connected to our rooms. Maybe have a Bazzar wing or even a market commons kinda like the bazzar in EQ or the AH in FFXI. That idea actually makes it feel more like a real city than just a few floors and rooms. If sega keeps up with the idea of listening to us for suggestions I think this game might really start to get a larger community back.

The idea of airboards sounds like alot of fun. I loved sonic riders. And I mean Ethan got to ride one. Maybe even make some areas move to zones that we can board down mountains of snow, sand, and even lava.

Sega has all these in multiple games, why not bring it all together in one.

That's what I'm saying. The top of the colony under the dome is huge, an entire metropolis complete with skyscrapers, streets, allys, and air-vehicles. I don't mean neccessarily recreate all that open area, but a few sections that are almost like a level where you airboard to another area. Sometimes the 5 colony floors feel a little confining. Heck Ethan and apparently everyone else use it as transportion through-out the colony. The floaders are great to, I just like them in missions though, it keeps it refreshing and gives the impression you covered more distance.

Nov 25, 2007, 05:23 PM
yes I agree hope they add on to this. It is too much fun great idea. Blackjack or Poker would be a nice addition. If I do get tired of running I go to the casino with friends and we have blast. And A question..... Do they change out prizes everyday? I heard music in shops not for sale last night. They had 3 or 4 versions of the opening theme last night. I want the beach music(plz don't ask me to spell that) I think the casino music would go great with Showtime room lol

I think they should include a VS. battle arena. I would love to stomp some of my pal's into the ground...or just go in and get destroyed...either way I think it would be fun:)

We need floater racing or
the pop up photon lobby chairs from PSO...
Those were awesome.

And for the twist on PSU the "chairs" could actually be the air boards that you can ride in the lobby if you had the item.

floader racing with coin and meseta bets!

or even regular mission racing! 2 people solo a mission at a certain rank and fastest person wins the bet!

it'll be your own fault if u race someone better than u! lol

Blackjack FTW!!!

Also how about creating environments so you can take you PM out and do mini games with them. Kinda like the Chaos garden in Sonic Advance.

Longtail
Nov 26, 2007, 01:00 AM
Yeah, I like the idea of using the PM for more than just battle, storage and making stuff. 'PM Park'. Maybe PM Park will give you temporary boost in synth rates or other prizes. Or new evolution devices.

Hmm, flying mini game would be cool XD

Ya I wish they would make the Casino not suck but that just isn't possible. Casinos in rpgs ALWAYS suck. There are no exceptions. I guess the stupid prizes there will forever be out of my reach. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

Blackjack would be very nice. I don't really care for roulette at all, and I haven't quite figured out if the slots are better odds or not. If they are anything like real slots, they'll just slowly drain all your money away. However, regular slots don't have 'fever mode' and from the one time I hit that, it sure seemed pretty nice (playing the bronze slots, I won about 3 silver from a fever mode run).

Some kind of card game would be really nice, whether it's something we all know like poker or blackjack, or just something they made up (like the card games in the Final Fantasy games, which were usually pretty decent).

If you could buy coins, everyone would buy everything they wanted from the shop, and never go to the casino again. The fact that you can only get 1 silver a day gives the bets meaning, you're actually risking something

If they need such a draw to get us in surely that proves the casino is just more frustrating then fun (yes I would just buy the prizes, I know my luck and its not good and im sure this is the same for many others)

besides Floader races/missions, and maybe AMF tank missions, I don't think they should focus on minigames.

the Casino with its roulette and slots is more than I imagined! It's already golden. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime2.gif

Yes, I'd like to see more. The slots and roulette are getting kind of old.

Though I'd much rather see new cities. :3

I also like the idea of expanding rooms; I've always wanted to live with someone. It's something that I really miss from my Sims Online days, and it'd be super cool to have something similar on PSU.
