Content update for April 04

[EspioKaos]

Chillaura lets us know about this last week on the official boards, but a little reminder never hurts.

Japanese Xbox 360 site (http://xbox360.phantasystaruniverse.jp/news/wis/?mode=view&id=160)

New missions
No new-new missions, but Her Secret Mission (http://psupedia.info/Her_Secret_Mission) will be receiving S rank difficulty. Also, the related recruitment mission, Ohtoku Standby Area, will be released.

As with Bruce's Dungeon S, Her Secret Mission S will be exclusive to Ambition of the Illuminus players. If you don't have the expansion, you won't be able to play the S difficulty.

New items
With the new mission (difficulty), we'll be seeing new items drops such as the Halarodoc as well as a few other weapon boards as grade S rewards. These include boards for Ohga-Misakic and Tamagiri-zashic.

[DarkEliteRico]

Nice nice, been waiting for HSM S for ages

[Arika]

hmm, same as JP, bruce->theif->HSM,

Is Halarodoc the area drop for HSM S? That thing'd be a stylish new buffing rod...

One of them. Er, I guess I should clarify it's the board, not the completed weapon. Aside from it, boards for Daiga-Misakic and Fuka-Misakic will have a chance of dropping from enemies on S difficulty, too.

I need to add those to our drop templates at PSUP, I guess. <_<

[AC9breaker]

i thought this week we where also getting PA rebalancing too. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

[amtalx]

Whats with giving us all the Kubara crap. I'm always glad to see new drops...but c'mon.

Originally it was planned for April 11, but Chillaura announced last week that it had been moved to April 25.

[daniel_drago]

Well in all honesty the Kubara varients do need to be released at some point and they've been written in italics on our data base for far to long now. Although soe new weapons in general would be nice.
And yes Espio you should update PSUpedia. lol.

Updated. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_biggrin.gif I've created base templates for these drops, but I haven't finished adding everything to them just yet. I'll do that shortly.

[Andy1423]

AWESOME! Thanks Espio.

So, on April 25th we get MAG, PA rebalence (including sword tweak), and Guntecher rebalence, correct?

As long as everything goes as scheduled, then yes. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[BFGfreak]

Yay HSM S....I can't wait...... (seriously, I think I spammed that mission to death, maybe I'll go there when I get tired of "Theves")

[-Crokar-]

well hello new hot spot. i hated HSM.

[Golto]

Wow we really will be lacking new content after MAG. I won't be surprised if we get EP3 story mission #4 on April 18th. That will leave us only with story mission #5, job type cap of 20, that new moatoob mission, post-MAG missions, 140 lvl cap, and the big master type and Fig updates for 4 months until our next event. At least we can expect to get stuff sooner that doesn't require St's 5 year old translators though.

Don't forget that the Japenese servers will be getting updates for the month that we have MAG so it should'nt be too much of a bare update schedule.

As for HSM S, sounds pretty good. Im pretty pissed that the 12* Kubara single claw or single dagger aren't available as a mission reward though. Im starting to think that ST hate Single dagger users, release the 11* already damit!

Chill said no Update April 11, then a update (client side???), then big update e(MAG and PA balancing and all the good stuff).

Very true. This is why I was slightly disappointed to see Dengeki Mission Carnival get extended by a week. Due to that, the earliest we'll see a new content update on the Japanese servers is April 10. Anyway, going by SonicTeam's longterm update schedule, the months of April, May and June should be bringing the Japanese servers:
One new story mission per month
A story-related event that ties in with the story missions. (Think multi-player story mission.)
Level cap to LV150
New field with new missions
New partner machine type
New items
Next GBR
New S2 Illuminus missions
usual seasonal lobbies (spring, Parum Unification, Sonic, wedding)

I'm hoping to get my hands on a Halarodoc board. It might be a knockoff of the real thing, but it's the best I can do as a beast! (Besides, it'd be my first S-rank rod.)

[AC9breaker]

In retrospect I'm a bit glad the majority of this month is gonna be lacking in updates. New CoD4 Maps will totally have absorbed.

I still haven't beat Lost Odyssey too!

I wonder if there will be alot of people at all of the guardian's branches. Would be something intresting to see.

I happen to like HSM lol

Why couldn't PA update be before MAG? Now I have to level up my bullets the hard way ;_;

Then I guess I don't know you as well as I thought!

But I don't mind it much either. In fact, I'd say I like it more than Bruce, but I have a feeling it'll only be popular for like a day like Bruce S was.

With the chance of a [B] Halarodoc, I like it even more. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

[DoubleJG]

Yay, another boring update http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

I still have yet to try Bruce's S, let alone the new "Thieves" mission.

[dc534]

I am getting real dissapointed in ST. They still have not fixed the lag issues when fighting robots, how am I going to find that rattlesnake if I lag everytime I run that mission. Same goes for the rikauteri I have been dying for. ST needs to get their act together and make some real updates not just some bullshit patches. These new missions are fun but I pay 10 bucks a month for this crap and all we get is some crummy junk weapon boards.

Also, keep in mind that JP had like one month and a half between the end of MAG and the start of Dengeki, so it is possible we wouldn't wait 4 months for the next big thing.

Thank you for the update info Espio ;D

This really interests me. Hope we get to see hat on the jp servers soon.

And thanks for the infos as always, Espio! I think I will give HSM S a chance cause of the Shide-Misakic. http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

[Mikura]

I'm still waiting on April 25th for all the big stuff to arrive. At first, I was kinda upset they pushed it back so far but I've been thinking about it awhile and it'll actually work out better. Around then, I'll have finals so by the time the beginning of May rolls around, I can enjoy all the tweaks without worrying too much about school.

As for this update and the ones before the 25th....meh. They'll be nice for a short diversion I suppose. lol

[EtherForce]

These missions give no exp man.

[str898mustang]

Another boring update..... :/

[Mikura]

You know, I just thought of something that would really piss off the PSU community...Imagine Chillaura making an announcement that the PA rebalancing got rescheduled for the 11th again, then coming back a few hours later saying it was an April Fool's joke. >_> I could just imagine some people possibly quitting over that though so I doubt they'd even attempt it. xD

[Sora_Psu]

Boring..same mission new difficulty bring on MAG...the rest of this stuff is same ol same ol

[Winter_of_uno]

I only played HSM once when it came out because it came at a time where we had first 100+ mobs with S drops so I rather played these missions. I also did not feel like maxing all jobs just for the sake of maxing them.

The Kubara boards for S'ing this coop also seem to be the worst out of the 3.

[Svaltus]

HSM is very fun! I will play again!

But no wonderful night Newdaz this time! http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

[painXxX]

wait so does anyone know the level requirment for it..and I still remember the map for C backwards and forwards..hsm was such a good mission meseta mission points and get to meet friends..

[EspioKaos]

http://psupedia.info/Her_Secret_Mission#Mission_requirements_and_reward s

S difficulty has a minimum requirement of LV100. Enemies are LV140+.

[painXxX]

BASTERDS!T_T I cant do s of any of the new gaurdian place missions..damnit all to hell...

[thebummers]

This is a real thumbs down non-update. All we get is an S version of a mission that people only ran in the 1st place for MPs which 97% of us don't really need until the next job cap increase. Yawn city. They are really dragging out the crap content until MAG. Why don't we have the next story mission or new EX traps or something we might actually care about?

[Ffuzzy-Logik]

Because there are no new EX traps, and the story missions are arguably more worthless than HSM S.

But it is worth noting that the JP server had MAG before they got much of the content we already have (Bruce S/ HSM S/Egg Thieves/FoI).

[Zalgadas]

Personally im looking forward to this cause its just one more step to MAG.

[painXxX]

after max atack i'm leaving until the next event psu is getting dull..and im only lvl 75..

[Zorak000]

ehh... I'll just stick to FFT and Orange Box... and possibly buy CoD4:GotY edition...

to be honest, everything in this game is just beginning to blend into one big mission... so I could use a break.

[mvffin]

Story Missions are something I do once, and thats pretty much it. Just to see how the story is progressing. I haven't even done the last one at all yet. =

I'd rather have the system updates and such, and events... not too concerned about HSM really, I like the egg mission better.

[LLSmoothJ]

I'll do HSM once on S just to try it. It doesn't really have anything I would want (Seriously, Two-Headed Ragnuc as one of the S-Rank Board rewards? WTFH? Daggers and Claws? Maybe.) After that, I'll go back to hunting for weapons I really care about.

[painXxX]

master classes arnt to well but just my opinion only s rank armor and not much choice of weapons..atleast with a FF you can use s rank twin sabers and s rank sabers but with fighmaster all you can use is s rank axe sword double saber and knuckles...i think..but anyways is there actualy a fun mission in psu? it seems to me all I've been doing lately is training and or doing pa runs...

[gratefulgriz]

is MAG only coming to the PSU expansion or can all users have MAG? is MAG going to be everywhere or just in forest, mine, etc... is MAG going to be like PSO MAG and how do you get them?? thanks!! =)

You must have the expansion to participate in Maximum Attack G. The missions specific to this event will take place only in VR simulations similar to PSO's forest, caves, mines and ruins. And the MAG being referenced here is an event, Maximum Attack G, not the little floaty partner things from PSO.

No, there are no fun missions in PSU at all. You should get off of the game right now while you can. It's horrible. Never come back. Save yourself the aggravation.

Seriously, you can't ask other people what's fun for you. We don't have the same tastes as you do and we will enjoy different things than you. Asking someone else what's fun when you can't figure it out for yourself is bound to lead to a bunch of empty answers. Ultimately we can only tell you what we find fun and you will likely disagree since you appear to have already made up your mind.
