Damn, before the end of April? I cry since that's when classes start kicking into overdrive preparing for finals....

[JAFO22000]

Yay, communication! Posts like this one are all most of us are asking for. Thank you.

[DEM_CIG]

Sweet... finally another event.

[Kylie]

I'm impressed to see an announcement (or whatever) like this, and the end of April isn't too bad.

[Lamak]

OP updated.

No maintenance tommorow.

[New_One]

Well they said they are aiming for April 11th for the Gameplay Update, so it should probably be before MAG, or who knows, maybe they'll roll MAG out that day.

[gryphonvii]

around the time rejection letters come in paired with parents disconnecting internet as punishment, *sigh*

[Xefi]

[Dragwind]

Woo, more good news. Things are looking to hit an upswing now.

[CelestialBlade]

Nice work, Sega. I see Sonic Team may be starting to get back on the ball. It's definitely good to see more communication like this.

[jayster]

so i'm guessing that they mean we'll get it the last update before Aprils over..

[Umberger]

[...]we are giving Sonic Team as much flexibility as they need to get all the cool website features in place for this event.

Sounds to me like they're implementing the leaderboard that PSU JP had.

I really really want the leaderboards.

[Kietrinia]

I don't want the leaderboards. -.-

It is a start to renewing my faith....at least it shows that they are listening and attempting to keep players in the loop rather than keeping us in the dark about things.

Regarding the leaderboards, this is great news to those who care. I don't play nor care nearly enough so you won't see me there. But "Woo-hoo" for those who want it.

[Yusaku_Kudou]

I hope Easter hits really soon.

Next Friday, March 28.

[HUnewearl_Meira]

Before the end of April, they say? So, 5 weeks, tops?

<_<

>_>

I've been waiting for those HUnewearl and RAcast costumes since Day 1. I'm hoping for an April 4th, or 11th, release date, at the latest, myself.

this event is more boring than spamming the most annoying run u can think of and not being able to do anythign else.

The leader boards and the 11*s from the boss are the only thing i care about in this event.

[chu-chu-chu]

no new content for a month, then?

[EspioKaos]

Outside of MAG-related updates such as unlocking a fourth block in the event mission and subsequently a boss battle (both earned by reaching point goals) on top of new items being added to the event's item exchange mission, I don't expect to see any other content added to the game during the course of MAG. Because of this, I'm hoping we'll get the fourth chapter of Episode 3 before MAG kicks off.

[mvffin]

Another minor heads up:

Since there are no content updates this week we are planning to skip our normal maintenance.
There is more new content planned for March 28.

-Chill

Easter Lobbies + ???

also, a lot of last year's rare enemies have been dropping new AOTI exclusive stuff... any word on what this might be for Rappy Paska?

*Crosses fingers for Soniti*

Easter and the new Parum party mission, "Her Hero Is a Thief." Maybe.


Next update is easter lobbies and a new party mission/waiting room on Parum. Possibly. <tm Kubara>

[zanotam]

The leader boards only go up to 500 right. So that means every one who does anything on PC/PS2 will get on it...

[EspioKaos]

Two drums and a cymbal fall off a cliff...

Ba-dum ching!

<_<; *cough* (Sorry, I couldn't resist.)

If leader boards end up being implemented in our version of MAG, they would likely cover both the PC/PS2 and Xbox 360 servers.

[Mewnie]

yay, Halp~

Battle of consoles can finally be settled if leaderboard included both versions ;o

Uh I mean... yeah definitely some good news http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/anime1.gif

[Aries2384]

Heres hoping to NO leaderboards. I don't have time to be an Elitist and compete with people who have nothing BUT time to play this game. Why would I want to compete with people who play on BOTH Jpn and US servers and have already gotten your Spread Needle? No thanks. Botch the Leaderboards plz but DO make it challenging to get it (not 20 hours a day challenging...)

I played PSU 1 hr. a day or maybe never due to work, so i guess my chance of winning a prize is SUPER slim. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

[-Tidus_415-]

People stop acting as if after the event you cant trade something for a spread needle. If you want that 13* to just be GIVEN to you for free without having to do much then sorry to say but you most likely dont deserve it.

Heres to hoping for leaderboards. It might make the event more fun.

[Kairi_Li]

I think his point was not "I want it for free without doing much." Its more of " I don't have as much time to play PSU as the average 15 year old who's still in High school and doesn't have a part time job."

The good weapons should be hard to get, but not to the point where only those that play 24/7 have a slight chance of getting it. Everyone should have a equal chance, even if they only get to play an hour or 2 per day, or less.

The JP has 5 times the player base of the 360 ver. and i can say it was very very easy to get on those leaderboards.

Let some weapons be super rare. this game needs it.

Let there be competition. its fun.

Let there be leaderboards. it adds more variety to the event.

[Aries2384]

I'm sure it was easy to get on the leader boards.. but you have to be in the TOP 500 to get the reward. Make it something else. Not item dependent. If you want something rare, go hunt the newest shit whenever it comes out. Not a once in a blue moon drop. I've had enough of people who want to be Elitists on this game. Wether its Chancho, ZT, Pig Vomit, or anyone else... its ridiculous.
Ok, let there be leader boards but the top 500 of the event only get Spread needles? Yeah so you little elite shits can inflate the price and charge 80 million.. oh wait sry, 99999999 million? Yeah forget that. Competition is fun. Wait for Dengeki. Plenty of competition there. I say, make it so only those who get past a certain amount of points can get it. I'm not talking 1up. I'm talking make it Challenging but not impossible for those who don't have ridiculous amounts of time to dump into this game.

[Zael]

Top 500? Doesn't seem too hard, seeing how I doubt even 500 people play PSU on PC/PS2 >_>

[Aries2384]

360 player here. Don't have the luxury of the PC/PS2 community to play on. Meanwhile, I have college, work, my packout and PSU to juggle. I DO NOT have the time to dedicate. No, I'm not whining.. I'm stating fact. If you want a "(Insert godly elitist-bullshit weapon name here)" then just grind your weapons or be the first to have said weapon. Shit, try LVLING your PA's instead of being one of those "Omgzors I have Leet weapons! but my PA's are all under 10... BUT IM STILL GODLY!" Point made...?
Oh.. To be on topic.. I can't wait for MAG.. even if the Spread Needle is on for the TOP 500 and I don't get one. Should be fun fun fun!

[Dark Emerald EXE]

lol@people being on here 24/7
I have nothing against those who do it....
Just how you use ur time

Surprised your xbox 360's heat fan hasnt burned out yet XD

[-Tidus_415-]

It's not even the real Spread Needle. It has a /G in it so it might be similar to the casino weapons. The regular Spread Needle will probably drop sometime in the future. I want the leaderboards for the competition. I can care less about some stupid PSO shotgun. Ok maybe it wasnt stupid in PSO >_> but you get the point.

For someone who supposedly doesn't care about the reward, you defend it vigorously.
As I stated earlier, keep the leaderboards. I'd like to see where my scant time to invest into this game can get me.

[-Tidus_415-]

Yeah I dont care about the reward but I like rares that are ment to be rare. I rather not see 1 of the only 13*'s that are out so far to just be given out and have it be worth less than a 10% crimson.

[Kairi_Li]

I think no one really wants it to be given out to every account, but I just hope it wont end up as something that only people who play 24/7 can have a shot at getting it.

I think leader boards are a good idea despite that, gives us variety. Part of me though wishes games would reward more towards skill than to those who just happen to have more time on their hands.

[Aries2384]

Points based on deaths accrued? I don't think it should be given away, but they need to find a way to reward players on skill or something. Not TIME.
