Well I came on first thing only to be disappointed to find SEGA screwed things up again - Well Done SEGA.

But then I did see the new S2 runs were in place so headed straight to Awoken Serpent to see what was what. I stepped inside and there before me was the option for Forest of Illusion, not thinking straight I went for C just to get the feel of things and do i regret it. Drop rate and experience at 500%, killin was quick and I got the same Exp you normally get on an S or S2 run and talk about drops, I must have had at least 20 pallash, 20 beatguns, and so many 4* boards it was crazy. To round it off 6 S grinders in the final boxes.

Now of course no matter where I look and i've jumped the lobbies a whole load I can't get it again.

Well I just ran it, Kinda like the old POS I & II forest with booma, go booma, and those purple things from the run at hot springs. Last room was like 10 Bil De Vear, comin at u in 2s n 3s.

PC/PS2 and no I don't have any pics as I never take any for anything, I don't see the point. Upto you if you believe me or not, I'm not the one that will look/feel the fool when you drop into one. BTW you can't join it mid-mission and it drops you back to the lobby where you started not where you would think your going.

Well I defo ran a run from the awoken serpant lobby at 8.05am GMT and it was the forest run. It appeared in a redish colour along with serpant run options C - S.

No it was red.

So what did they do? Add the run in via the update and then somehow flick a switch to stop it been accessed, i don't know and to be honest now I don't really care. I enjoyed doing it brought back old memories and I can't wait till I can run it again.

OOOOK!! This is the wierdest update thingy since psus release I think. I mean come on!! Ok first they say they have lost men in the forest of illusion so we wont have it yet. Then they say that we will not get any update until later cause of error. And then we get S2 missions, valentine lobby and Forest of illusion!!!

WTF!! I smell a rollback... if not the forest story was a joke. But I would not think so.

Lets hope they found fix to be able to release a part of the update and the crirical error part of it later. But I would not get myh hopes up.

I dont want another rollback....

Ok so how do actually get forest of illusion?

You have to do a mission at moatoob and after that it might randomly appear at the next mission counter u access? Or can you jump around moatoob as you wish and go to any mission counter and it might appear?

More confirmation, PC/PS2 again. I got it to appear at West Kugu Field Base. Most fun I've had in a while actually, and er, a bit nostalgic http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

The mobs definately have reduced HP, I was killing them in a couple of hits. Unfortunately, as I was solo, I couldn't get the special boxes, but I got a killing in terms of items.

Al-senba is 11*, Head/Arm/Body slots. I can't use as an fF though. Neutral element too.

lol, reward (1112MP too, and 8x PA frags). You can get S by soloing, but can't access the rare enemies or special boxes.

You need 4 players to get those. Every switch part I saw required 4 people.

Feb 8, 2008, 10:32 AM
Just wondering could you start a mission then abandon it then look to see if the Forest Of Illusion appeared?

EspioKaos
Feb 8, 2008, 10:50 AM
Nope, you've got to complete a mission to "roll" for a chance at getting Forest of Illusion at one of the counters.

Kelvie
Feb 8, 2008, 10:59 AM
So ? Even finishing the mission and getting the reward won't make it reroll if we don't go throught the final exit but abandon instead ?

Oh and, how does it work exactly ? Do the forest appear randomly at any counter for each player, or randomly at every counters for each player, regardless of the player's location as long as he is in moatoob ?

Feb 8, 2008, 11:05 AM

Neith
Feb 8, 2008, 11:47 AM
What I'm more interested in knowing is how it appears. What I mean is, when it showed up for me, I'd just done System Defense C. The mission appeared at Kugu Field Base (the next lobby). Was that a fluke, or could it have say..appeared at Granigs Mine or something (after doing System Defense?)

You do a mission, and if you have it, it'll be at any counter you go to. If you don't have it, it won't be at any counter you go to.

You need at least 4 people to do the switches... but I still don't know what the 4 switches in B1 did lol

GunnerGoddess
Feb 8, 2008, 02:03 PM
the switches in B1 bring up some boxes I think :/ my group destroyed something that appeared behind me after we hit the switches but too fast for me to see what it was, but the "omg pre made vish adan out of a box!!!" remark kinda helped with the assumption

both these statements are true
It can be at any counter you go to, but if it isn't at the first counter, it's not at any counter

Umm is there any information about the "roll" being a higher chance of you getting the forest if you do S2 instead of C?

Maridia
Feb 8, 2008, 02:25 PM
And by any counter, do you mean that you can essentially just walk right back into a counter after finishing a mission instead of running all the way across the lobby? ANY counter at all, even ones that don't usually have missions?

Lyric
Feb 8, 2008, 02:49 PM
LoL. I just ran it. Solo'd S. You need a full party to get everything. There's a lot of switches. It's pretty easy though.

jerrelle
Feb 8, 2008, 03:02 PM
wow, just wow. how more clear can the explanation be? :

after you finish a mission, check ANY, and they mean "ANY", counter. if it doesn't show up at that first counter, checking another will not make it appear. checking the counter 25243543 times will not make it appear.

abandoning the mission after completing it is my only question. can it be an option again if someone in the group is lucky enough?

Kerry157
Feb 8, 2008, 03:28 PM
If you get the forest mission option at the mission counter and then leave the mission counter to invite some people do you lose the mission or will it still be there?

Feb 8, 2008, 03:31 PM
It'll still be there.

Well, it took about 45-55 seperate shots at it (Each party member checking counter seperately) to find it again after the lucky first try.

Feb 8, 2008, 07:05 PM
woo finally found the mission, its a great mission by the way completely worth the effort.

ok when you are looking for this map make sure you have a party of 4+ ppl because you will need 4 ppl to activate buttons found around the map to get rare monsters or more boxes or another area. the boxes are definately worth it because you get made S ranks and S rank boards. one of the areas you will find (or atleast i found) rappy amures ( im guessing normal rappys spawn in a non event time. im not sure how many there was atleast 7 i would say, all of wich dropped the event bow(i got 4 n_n but i shared it with my gewd friends).

to get this map you need to complete a mission. once you get to the next lobby (do not abandon make sure you go tot he next lobby) make sure you disband your party because everyone has an equal chance. im not sure if going back to the counter that you came from will give you the map (or the counter in the casino going back) because i didnt bother checking. if you get the map itll appear just like any other map execpt in red like how previous ppl posted in there picture. you can go back to the lobby and itll still be there ( not sure if itll be there if you head back to your room but i wouldnt recommend it). when you head back to the lobby inform your friends that you found it and invite them all, you cannot join mid mission so make sure you invite them before you start the game.

if you still havent seen it ( AND WHY HAVENT YOU) here are the drops. ty psupedia
http://psupedia.info/Forest_of_Illusion

the missions drops are great lots of S ranks, and the monsters (i found to be not so difficult)
hope this answers some ones question

also im on pc/ps2 and i play on ps2 so i have no pictures to show but FoI is definately there (on moa)

No. You need 4 PLAYERS to step on the switches. And the GBR boost adds up the more players you have in the mission who have done GBR. I forgot how they are totaled though D:

I only ran the forest on A rank, so there were no S rank drops, BUT......I entered as a level 31/Acrofighter 3 and left as a level 36/Acrofighter 9. That to me was better than any rare drop.

Technically since it's Valentine's Day lobby aren't they always?

Nope. Rare map doesn't mean you'll get rare monsters.
I got FoI but with no Rappy Amures in it.

Forgive me if this has already been answered before but no one's ever said if the forest is going to be a permanent fixture or not in PSU. Since no one's said otherwise, I assume it'll always be there after the V-day event but can anyone give me a definite answer?

Reason I ask is a friend lastnight asked me if it was always going to be here and I couldn't answer her. >_>

JPN got it after their Maximum Attack G, and still have it, so I would assume it will be a permanent part of the game.

Thanks man, that's awesome. I wonder if Parum and Neudaiz will get their own rare map some day. One rare mission per planet makes sense to me.

I'm kinda glad they chose Moatoob first though. It's been needing a lot of love for a long time. >_>

They're somewhat hidden, and require 4 people in the party, but I've never seen them NOT be there.

Agreed. Even for a desert planet, the place had been deserted for way too long.

I'm pretty sure we'll see these kinds of missions on each planet in future updates. Likely one for the Colony/HIVE/Ryucross, too. I was talking with some friends about that last night, actually. We speculated that Parum may get a mission based on the mines, Neudaiz may get the caves and the Colony/HIVE/Ryucross may get the ruins. No matter how it's done, hopefully GBRs will coincide with the first month or so of each mission's release. It's a nice bonus to have while searching.

Yeah, I like how they set this up really. My friends always run GBR while hunting for the rare map. So even if you're extremely unlucky and never find the map, you've at least accomplished something in GBR.

If they did this with every planet, including Colony/HIVE/Ryucross, that would be great. We'll see what happens in the future. I'm hoping for the best.

One more time, any confirmation for 360?

Mikura
Feb 10, 2008, 04:30 AM
Only gotten it once in two days and even then, it was another party that found it. It just so happened they had room for us to join but still...was a bit frustrating to go through all those runs and not find it ourselves. We came out with a ton of rares and exp from it though so can't complain too much.

Edit: Pretty sure it's not available on the 360 yet. Might wanna ask one of the mods or contributors about that.

Sega's been good about converting nearly every detail of JP stuff to the US version. True, they weren't able to bring in the leaderboards in 1Up, but that's the only time they had to cut something in translation I think.

We really don't need rumors of a rollback...

Forest is SUPPOSED to have those drop rates and exp rates.

Its SUPPOSED to work like that.

And it is NOT temporary... we really need that in a sticky.

You know, no official has been able to confirm that FoI is permanent yet.

I would refrain from saying that and cracking too many faces.

I got no pics proving it doesn't exist but I don't think that it's on the XBox 360.

It's on 360.

My friend even took screenshots with his capture card. O:

That orange highlight on his name means that he was chatting via the headset. Also, button configurations. That should more than confirm it.
