The Megid seems to be just like the Barta traps in White Beast, just flashy animation. >_>

Well....I'm going to hate this mission too. I doubt any megid throwing thing is going to lack the instokill effect...so yea I forsee this mission as a pure pain. Too bed the reskins look kinda cool.

As long as you don't use any light weapons/attacks, the only things that can kill you with instant death are deljabans.

Aww, I kind of like this mission... it looks pretty epic. -_-; @ the music, though.

I have had the privilege Humiliation of playing this horrible mission.

It looks nice but isnt that great on MP, EXP, or drops at ALL.

completely pointless unless u just feel like playing a new mission.

The only worthwhile drop here is the nudaiz laser cannon and thats saying a lot.

also the megid turrets dont do anything >.> lol

i purposely stood in front of one for a long time, not only did it not kill me, it hardly did any damage either XD

What are the enemy levels for each rank? I noticed it's taking two shots of Radiga to kill a Delsaban on C.

This mission proves that Dulk Fakis can mate with Grass Assassin. The Pokedex expansion continues...

Post like this makes me lol too cause ppl need to see the drop chart first. I never said I dont like challenge, challenge is good if there is GOOD drops. Why go all the trouble for those drops?

Pardon my lack of understanding, but what would kill me if I chose to use light weapons?

Hmm...does the Shura-hikec look as awesome as Shura-hiken when you do Chikki? If so, that larger PP pool/regen is tempting...

The flower monsters spit techs opposite of the element attack you're using. If you use light, it'll use megid (it normally uses megid though). So as long as you you don't use light weapons/attacks on it, there is no chance of getting hit by megid.

Yep. This mission proves that ST has really lost their touch with level design. It is pathetic and yet another recycling of area models and maps -_-


I also must congratulate PSUpedia people for helping to harm the community with unofficial fan made names for things. There's no official english name for this mission yet and the original Japanese name isn't even like that at all. Better to just call it the "lame Ryucross mission" than slapping some name you like on it and confusing the fuck out of people later on.

Harm the community with fan-made names? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

What's your problem? If you don't like the work we're doing, then don't visit the damn site. I'm sorry that you don't like my translation of the mission's name, but I was trying to put myself in the localization team's shoes for a moment. I wanted a name that was concise but kept at least a bit of the original meaning of the Japanese name. Kuroki hoshi ni sukuu mono is the original name. A direct translation would be "The Things That Nest Within the Black Planet." Oh, yes. It's got quite a nice ring to it, huh? "Nest of Darkness" shortens it down while getting the same message across.

And confusing people later on? Didn't seem to confuse people when we knew "Sacred Stream" as "Temple of Water" or "Awoken Serpent" as "Serpent's Awakening" or "White Beast" as "Sacred White Beast" or "Hill of Spores" as "Mushroom Hill." Oh! And "Lightning Beasts" was originally known as "City of Thunder Beasts" while "Scarred Planet" was "Planet's Scar." Want me to keep going? I'd be more than happy to do so!

Get off it. You're right; there are no official localizations for the names of these missions. That's where the fans have to step in. We've been doing it for years and it's never been a problem. If you don't like it, then stick to the Japanese version of the game and don't bother with the community you're not a part of.

I like the idea of a new mission it will keep me busy when I need to unwind after work. I wonder if solo'ing will be a slight problem due to the fact that torrect will spam Megid. ><

I think slight confusion in translations is accepted among the people who use the fan based info sites. Seems lame that one of the few people who do go out of their way to provide that info would critisize the others that do. I would think you guys worked together. I appreciate all the sites, including psupedia, and I am well aware that all the sites have flaws.
