As stated in the subject line, this information deals with the Japanese PC/PS2 servers' upcoming event, Dengeki Mission Carnival, which is scheduled to begin February 28. If you have no interest in this information, turn back now. Do not bring your whining in here.

From Shougai PSO (http://www.g-heaven.net/pso/topics/080207a.html), we have lots of new information on Japan's next event from the latest issue of Dengeki PlayStation. Previous information can be viewed here (http://www.pso-world.com/viewtopic.php?topic=166882&forum=20).

Event plan
This event, as we already know, is sponsored by Dengeki PlayStation, a popular Japanese gaming magazine. Just like with the 1Up Platinum Cup (and Famitsu Cup), the magazine's editorial staff will be represented in-game with custom avatars to pass out event-exclusive items.
This event will begin February 28 and end April 03.
There will be six missions associated with the event. These will be accessed in a special lobby, likely the vacant tenant space on the third floor of Clyez City.
This event will be running during Valentine's and White Day, so expect to see Rappy and Jaggo Amures on occasion.
Party mission: Television Puzzle
Multiple paths will be available at the beginning of the mission.
Players will collect "Polytan Bowls" that are scattered about the field.
These items will be used to make "fence art" with various laser fences. Basically, fences will be activated and deactivated to complete images on the ground. Think connect-the-dots.
When an image is complete, a boss room will be opened.
The boss you fight is determined by the image created.
As the event progresses, new layouts will be added to this mission.
Survival mission: Do-or-Die
The basic idea is to see how long you can last in the arena.
As waves of enemies are defeated, the next spawn of enemies' attack power will increase as their HP decreases.
If a party member is incapacitated, they will not rejoin the battle. The surviving member will have to go on without them.
At certain intervals following the defeat of a wave of enemies, the party will be given the choice to continue or quit.
If you elect to end the mission, you'll be taken to the rewards area where you will open boxes filled with items equivalent to the level of the last enemies defeated.
Quiz mission: The Protectors' Choice
The party will be presented with 10 questions; each member will have 30 seconds to answer.
Grades are given on an individual basis, so the party does not have to come to a consensus on their answer. Each member will choose their own answer.
Some of the questions will link back to experiences in the mission "Television Puzzle." For example, you might get a question such as "How many bosses have you defeated in this event?" or something of the like.
Bonus containers will be accessed at the end of the mission no matter how the party did. The number of containers that appears will be proportionate to the number of members in the party.
Check your vision phone throughout the event, as hints on what questions to expect will be given.
If you get all of the questions correct, a special item will be awarded to you at a later date following the end of the Mission Carnival.
Item exchange mission: Dengeki Editorial Department
You'll be able to trade Dengeki Tickets (received in Television Puzzle) for special items.
Race mission
This mission doesn't have a name yet, but it will have players racing on airboards against one another.
Three modes of play will be available: single-player time attack, multi-player competition and a free mode where you can ride at your leisure.
Versus mission
Unfortunately there is no new information on this player vs. player mission. Please see this thread (http://www.pso-world.com/viewtopic.php?topic=166882&forum=20) for all that's known currently.
Event items
Van Brella, a six-star male-only Kubara shotgun.
Electro Heart, a five-star Yohmei extra unit that gives a 2% increase to PP regeneration on top of the electricity visual effect.
Onee-san's Wand; the Magical Wand named after one of the magazine's mascots.
Gudda Dengeki, which resembles Gudda Igga in appearance.
Drill Knuckles, 11-star knuckles which can cause LV3 confusion.
Falclaw, a 13-star claw.
Bukra Dengeki, a wand.
Holy Ray/D, a rifle.
Madam Brella, a six-star female-only shotgun.
MukDengeki, a pun on the Muktengek.
Rabol Dengeki, a line shield.
Rabol Polytan, a line shield based on another magazine mascot. Forms a set bonus with another event weapon, Polytan Claw.
There will be one more event-exclusive unit, though its name and type have not been revealed.
Phew. Well that took forever to type up. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif But, enjoy the details!

FALCLAW! Yes! Also, Electro Heart is like Te/PP Generate online? Sounds neat, I guess, I'd probably use it then. Also wanna see what this last event unit is, and I'd like Holy Ray/D.

The survival mission sounds like it's going to be loads of fun...can't wait to see screenshots of ridiculously high leveled creatures (if they increase at a reasonable increment per wave). Thanks for the info Espio.

You may want to note Falclaw with "Rika's Claw" on the side.

I wonder if Electro Heart will retain the END bonus it did from V.1 offline. If it does then it will become my mission to gather one for each of my characters.

Expect the US/EU one to be 2 weeks shorter. =p

I just realized...isn't PSU JP supposed to be getting level 50 PAs and the master classes in March?

EDIT: Well, aside from Acromaster.

Not to break anyone's heart, but it's still called Falclaw in the US client >_> Unless they fix it from Offline.

lol, Falclaw. Nice.

So far, the event seems to be shaping up to be better than all the previous events combined. Shame we won't be getting it for awhile.

Omg, i hope this comes here!!! I've wanted to do PVP for the LONGEST time now. Airboarding seems sweet, and ooooh new items!

I love how Sonic team saves the best for last. A reward for sticking it out through PSU from its humble beginnings. To think of all those guardians we lost...

So now we celebrate with Airboarding, Puzzles and PvP http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

Go Sega! For now.... http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Weapon images. Too bad some of the weapons are reskins. D:

Also, I think I saw in one of the pages something about S rank with level 140 monsters, so more kubara 12*?

RemiusTA
Feb 10, 2008, 11:41 AM
every weapon on this game is a reskin..

If that is true then you have made my day http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif Yes I hate any bad translated name, included Rika's

And this endurance mission looks awesome x.x

Very neat; let's just hope they're given all at once and not one per week.

Maybe I'm not reading this wrong, but since this is funded by a Japanese magazine... does that mean there will or won't be an equivalent here? And if there will, do we know when?

Fire break and the cup event were both funded by Japanese companies and we got both of those so we're getting this too.
