Sakura Blast and Warpath S3 - S5 Maps

[Indica]

It's going to be real interesting how Sega is going to pull this off.

Sakura Blast S LV110+, S2 LV155+

Sakura Warpath S LV115+, S2 LV160+

Warpath is a huge jump between S and S2, so Im curious what S5 is going to be like, especially if our Max LV cap is going to be LV200.

I never played PSO, what were monster Levels when people were LV200?

[beatrixkiddo]

Enemies in PSO didn't have levels. They just have different stats based on difficulty.

[amtalx]

I think it will be easy for them to pull it off. Shits way too easy right now. Hopefully some astronomical enemy level will even that out.

[Fox_Makenshi]

I agree, enemies should be higher level than we are. If we're at a disadvantage, things become more difficult. And by difficult I don't mean megid spam lol.

Love,
Fox Makenshi

[Inazuma]

players will stop at lv 200 but monsters are likely to go above that.

What makes you think there will be S5?

Someone posted a map layout of the symbols, there is S3-S5 listed.

It would make sense too 12* weapons drop on S2, 13* S3, 14* S4, 15* S5

tbh missions dont use the symbols if you noticed

[SonicTMP]

geeze S5??

Don't we have some maps still locked? Or heck can't they just make S2 for certian missions higher? Yes it a bigger level gap but it at least be a future way of getting people to not stay at one mission for 1-130....

[landman]

Well, your stats in PSO hardly changed in 50 or 100 lvls, some enemies still kicked your but with lvl 200... 30 lvls in PSU are a great difference compared to PSO I think (plus the class lvl)

[Middle]

i think the last (S5) should be depend on how many players are in group , so that it's more difficult to do it with 6 players

so maybe the enemies on S5 Solo are Lv. 200 and on S5 with 6 players group they can be lv. 240 ... a.s.o.


1 Player = enemy Level 200
2 Players = enemy Level 210
3 Players = enemy Level 215
4 Players = enemy Level 220
5 Players = enemy Level 230
6 Players = enemy Level 240


that would be interessting

[Nirvash7]

Fuck no. Going by what you're saying, what if the Edel Fusil drops from LV 240 Magahna? That means you'd have to have 6 people in your party to even have a chance of finding it.

Its VERY old. I remember seeing it too...It was a JP player hacking their room layout and the floor had a bunch of symbols such as S3-S5, GRM, Yohmei, Kubara, Party icon etc.

Well, if we do ever get S5, I'm sure that we won't see it for a long time or on this expansion, especially since not much evidence of this can be found on the current expansion disc.

Someone posted a bitmap of all the game icons and actually hacked it into their player room to be used as floor wallpaper, but cant seem to find the picture

[Para]

I hope there will be a point where monster levels > player levels no matter what due to either cap or ingame adjustment based on party to make sure that the game stays difficult for those endgame players who want to enjoy a challenge.

1st, that concept alone would make people get into parties more, which is what we want, no?

2nd, it's not like they HAVE to make certain weapons drop only from monsters in a 6 person party anyway, so why moan now? > >

being yohmei it's probably not even better than killer elite, anyway, there's probably better to be released too.

[Golto]

I'd like there to be S3+ diffculties but there is still no official word on if they will exist. We know that the eariiest JPN could get S3's would be July if they get them at all.

[Powder Keg]

If there really is an S5....then they better release the locked missions and newer difficulties a lot quicker.

[drizzle]

S2-S5 icons being in the game data doesn't mean they get used. More likely the original intent was to make higher grade weapons but now they decided to stick with just 'S'. And as GuardianElite mentioned, the icons aren't used for missions. I personally don't think we'll ever see S3 and up for missions.

[WildArms2]

the president of SEGA has said they have a 5 year plan for PSU soo that leave 4 years of content to go and I am alost posotive s3-s5 will appear we are only in year 1 and 4 months? we probably wont see s3 till year 2 but they will come.

They can always do what they did with that relic area on neudiaz S rank was lv 80 monsters and s2 was lv 85? or 90

[WildArms2]

oh yea and japan just got these 2 mission as S2 rank soo it will be at least a year for those mission to get an s3 version.

You know first it will be all the PSU original missions deragan, Lineal line, lab recovery ect...

They could, but you know they can also do what they did with pso and not update for the next 3 yrs

[DavidNel]

How many frags would you GET on an S5 mission?! You'd have all the Ult. PA's after a few runs at that level, lol!

[amtalx]

It seems logical that we would get higher tier difficulties like S3-S5. If we don't, than many of the 13* and up items will never be available in the current missions. ST has to address that somehow. Do you really think they are going to cram every 200+ enemy into a handful of unreleased missions?

Yeah I saw that picture to. Been trying to find it with the search but u know it's hard to find something that was post like 1 year ago.

You should have noticed that almost every time a set of new missions is released, they are higher level than those before it. It seems logical that this trend will continue; many of the 13* and up items will be in new, not old, missions.
Yes, they will cram every 200+ enemy in a handful of unreleased missions.

Good thing, really. Who wants White Beast to go on past S2? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Yeah, really. There's a 5 year plan for PSU but that doesn't mean they won't leave the servers up an extra couple of years, make a new game and shut them down lol.

Time out for a sec.

People are forgetting that the S2-S5 icons in that old hacked picture were icons that had no correlation with mission ranks whatsoever; they were the kind of icon you see beside a weapon rank. Because of that, even without an official confirmation from Sega, you can almost certainly assume that ST had planned on changing the icons for higher-star S weapons to compliment their absurd stats and rarity. After all, when AoI came out, think of how many different icons they not only added, but changed as well. (e.g. star rarity colours, new stars for 13-15, etc.)

However, as others have already said, there is indeed a five year plan for this game so I'm completely expecting higher missions ranks somewhere down the line. Whether or not it will go all the way up to S5 is yet to be seen. For all we know they could pull a PSO and ditch the game for the last two years of its lifespan. I hope they don't, but time will tell. Regardless, I can at least see S3 missions by next year... hopefully http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif
