It's a scorpion-looking creature thing. If it is a reskin of anything, I'd say Grass Assassin, but I'm not certain if it is.

Right. The next mission (Seal of the Dark God) should be coming soon, though.

Don't get your hopes up too much. When this missions came out on the Japanese servers, there was a massive whine-fest about how it wasn't worth it, nothing good drops, etc. But if you'd like to see: Nest of Darkness (http://psupedia.info/Nest_of_Darkness).

[RedMussel]

http://psupedia.info/Nest_of_Darkness Drops are crap...

Except for the S rank Neudaiz laser cannon!!

March 7th or somthing around that date.

[amtalx]

Woohoo! I hope they drop a lot. A 10/10 Love Infernoc might fry my circuits.

[Chibi_psu]

does this mission has new music or its the hive one?.Anyway a new mission is always welcome.

Been waiting for Ryucross ^_^.

Drops? Nothing has dropped that goes in my palette for most of the game. Why would I be concerned about that now http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif.

[littleman2347]

Hmm what is this crystal skull mess off the boxes. I bet it will be used in wands/rods.

Actually.... mini deco! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[EMPYREAN]

yay new hive mission. gotta try that one. <3 hive <3

[Sylpheed]

Lol, i half-expected to see the game balance updates this week along with what we are getting. Great, means we gotta go at least another whole week of whiners bitching about the slicer.

[CelestialBlade]

Drops are *crap*? The 9* Tenora Twin Claw drops there! Those things are fierce.

[SabZero]

Doesn't really look like a HIVE reskin, so maybe the music is different (please holy light, please).

Crystal skull deco = win.

Delp Slami monster. Salami?? (jk http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif)

Unfortunately, the new Ryucross mission does in fact have the HIVE music as its track. Mute those T.V's quick!

[Reipard]

That's okay, I replaced it with something listenable long ago XD.

Boo. Hmm, I think I'll have The Edge's theme from PS4 playing. Seems appropriate. That or Revolution to the Origin.

[Powder Keg]

Well, let's hope the PM items work correctly this time.


When....will....we.....get.....new.....difficultie s!?!? The level cap has clearly gone beyond the enemy difficulty now.

[Andy1423]

Thats what I miss the most from PSO. The BGM tracks were all top notch. The Hive music sounds like a vampire circus

Mod edit: do not use 'gay' in that manner.

[Powder Keg]

Expect the music to be either lame or incredibly repetitive until ST/Sega manages to land a half decent composer.

I know there HAS to be a lot of tracks on the disc, but most of them will probably only be used for something brief or useless.

Kinda like that *godly* track that plays when Ethan fights Magashi at the end of Episode 1? That needs to be a boss theme, immediately >_>

PSU has a pretty good soundtrack, it's just that we only hear a handful of songs usually, ad infinitum.

[Sol_B4dguy]

Usual HIVE song: Revolution to the Origin (whoo, PSO) or Dark Sanctuary from Metroid Prime 2. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

And I may hunt the laser cannon for a change of pace from my meteor cannon. Failing that, GBR some more.

[Neith]

I think I'm the only player on PSU who likes the HIVE music >_>

Although, if I could get hold of Revolution to the Origin, I'd replace it http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif Loved the Ruins music.

[CelestialBlade]

I like the HIVE music, I just want to see something different every now and then. PSU's soundtrack is pretty big (beats the hell out of PSO's) yet we only hear a small handful of themes all the time.

Yeah, I was surprised when I saw the "For Brighter Day" OST and saw all those tracks there. Too bad most of them are used for story-related stuff.

The difference i find in PSO's music is; although limited, was always soothing and fun to listen to and wasn't always there in your face grinding the hell out of your ears. I mean, i have no complaints with the PSU music, but after hearing the HIVE soundtrack 50 times consecutively it starts to grind on me. One thing i will say is, the boss music in PSO was a lot better than PSU's IMO.

I'll agree with this. HIVE got irritating almost immediately after it came out, I despise that music.

Nostalgia in Solitude PART2 (you heard it during Winter Event) is my unofficial soundtrack for running hive.

[Ezodagrom]

I kinda like HIVE music...but only on HIVE stages...
Mother Brain mission, even though it's a white HIVE, they could have made a new music there <.<
And now the Ryucross mission, that one should also have a new music...



<font size=-1>[ This Message was edited by: Ezodagrom on 2008-02-26 09:25 ]</font>

[Sora_Psu]

The HIVE music is fine in PSU, but like others have stated its good ONLY for the HIVE, i dont like hearin the same music on different levels. Like for example the battle music for Ragnus should not be the same as Zol Goug or Ragan..they should of changed it up. But PSO's music was FAR better than PSU's music in my opinion

[Ezodagrom]

Most pso musics were better than many psu ones, but there are 2 pso music that are worse than any psu music...caves musics (both)...I would almost fall asleep in caves mainly because of the music >.<

[Kietrinia]

Any mention of changed ingredients in The Collector? We saw all the stuff needed to trade for the Moatoob move pass last week before the rollback. I'd just like to make sure those items weren't changed.

[Sol_B4dguy]

I don't think they'd change the stuff needed to exchange for the new items. Here's hoping the glitch from Friday is at least fixxord.

And yeah, Caves music was indeed snore-worthy. At least DRL's theme was cool, though.

[Kietrinia]

Okay, someone on psupedia was changing the Collector mission information and wasn't citing any kind of source. Just checking up. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

[pikachief]

yay i was right ^.^

now i just need PSO event to come out soon http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif

[Shiryuu]

Hikec would've been a good drop, but they're screwing with slicers again.... :/

Doesn't look like they're adding public bath stuff either. ;_;

Oh well, there's always that lightning carnival for jp.

an ok update, not enough to make me jump out of my seat. Anyways, back to playing my new console, Wii and Fire Emblem. "Wii want to play" http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

[Anduril]

I'm always up for a New Story Mission. Plus I this is my chance to use my omega acids for something and get my last PM(striking) up to 100. I'm going to get around to playing the Ryucross mission, though I still hav some doubts of whether it is worth more than one run through.

[pionear]

http://www.pso-world.com/imageviewer.php?item_id=2411&picture_id=6791#pic

That Laser is BADAZZ!!!

[Neith]

I guess I'll run Ryucross when True Darkness makes me want to stab my eyes out with a spoon. They're at the same mission counter anyway.

Other than that, I won't be affected by much of this update. Ryucross looks nice, but the drops are terrible. Most of it is junk, and the few decent drops are findable elsewhere. Only exceptions are Shura-hikec and Ryusaikanoh. Definately not interested in a Gekitsnata.. The whole mission just seems pointless, outside of being a plot device. I'm guessing Agito Repca or Psycho Wand can't drop there, because Shura-hikec is the area drop, so I'll probably run Ryucross for a break when I'm bored of hunting Agito. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_disapprove.gif

Meh, maybe the new story mission will be worth doing.

[Mikura]

Damn. . . None of the system adjustments are being implemented this week? That makes me a sad panda. I was looking forward to that more than anything else. Oh well, this is alright. Ryucross will be fun for a change of pace.

Oh? Great, I guess we got a much longer wait than I thought. My interest in lvling bullets on my Fortegunner is dwindling. >_>

[RemiusTA]

i dont think the miniboss in this stage is a reskin, because ive seen it with a few moves that no enemy in the game has. It shares some similar moves, but they all seem to be mixed. Perhaps its a reskin with varied attacks, instead of just a base monster with a different look and stats.

That is refreshingly good to hear. But if it has different attacks, does it qualify as a true reskin?

Think of it as a Bil De Vear and a Darbelan. They're basically the same except darbs spit dammegid at you and teleport.

[seph_monkey]

the ryucross lvl is pretty interesting to me. the giant scorpions are pretty neat, and the constant cherry blossoms in the air look great.

[mvffin]

I'm looking forward to seeing people get off moatoob for a bit. I'm kinda tired of the GBR missions. i've seen one boss drop in my route from 0% to 44%. and it failed. Gudda Walna. I'll put it right next to my okiku tuma.

[Kanore]

It's just... the zzz stage prepping up for the boss stage right after. Lame.

It's like Mad Creatures to the De Ragan mission.

[Arada]

I'll do the new mission. Once. To get to the next lobby. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif
