Personally, I love the fact it is extended because i am leveling my alt Fortetecher and Fortegunner character. So I'm happy, what about you guys?

I like it. I might cap my alts since I have no life right now, and I have more of a chance at getting a Sange with that extra week.

so.

boring.

i would try to go out and cap my techer, but im waiting for the PA boost to come out because i dont like having low level PAs and high level characters >.<

I'm torn on it.

I like it because I can:
a) get more badges and trade items
b) cap more of my jobs

I dislike it because:
a) oh god more of the same runs again
b) even longer for us to get our awards

Yes i'm pleased with it. But i cant wait till the PA lvling hits. I would like to get my Beast up after maxing my cast out on MAG. But i would like it if the prices of ingredient's would go back to normal.

Follisimo
May 14, 2008, 12:36 AM
Well I was around when they talked about how it's gonna happen 99% sure another week of MAG... but what some people didn't stay around for was them talking about locking the Kill Ranking so whoever is on the top 500 gets a spread needle /g. They also said they were thinking of adding 100 more spots to the leaderboard just for the PC/PS2 side. Also anyone in the Top 500 that is getting a spread needle wouldn't be listed in the new Top 100 kill board.

But the chances of them doing it are slim, but it's what they want to do.

oh btw i was a 065 person and i still want mag to end

The Lottery is Sponsored by Segac and the Number "065".

Jainsea
May 14, 2008, 04:41 AM
Thats good so that the 65'ers can get to play for that week, and I understand that
people are tired of this event( I am one of those ) but we cant forget that there are OTHER missions to do in this game. There are like 50 mission out there people!!! Yes 50 >.> It is late(4:30am) so I may have counted wrong, but there are still a LOT! I didnt count any HQ story missions though. So there is plenty for us to still run to beleive it or not.

PALRAPPYS
May 14, 2008, 05:56 AM
I hate this intensely. They better lock the leaderboards. Especially if they're extending it for the people who want to play S rank missions!

If not, then SEGA, learn how to do things better.

I hear you. I sold my Psycho Wand for a 9/9 46% Ground Slayic. XD I got tired of training slow leveling techs.

Akaimizu
May 14, 2008, 07:04 AM
I hear you again. I've been getting around to just doing some class swapping and stuff because I finally got tired of doing nothing but raising slow levelling PAs. At least, I can be happy to see a class increase levels within a single night of play.

I'm a bit indifferent about the extension, even though I wouldn't mind getting the 99 Gold Badge item.

Like very much. More xp/drops is always good, and I've been 065'ed for a while as well.
Really, the only thing I have to say about the leaderboarders whining about it is "BAAAAAWWWWW".

They already said this won't affect any other updates if they do extend it, so really the only reason one has to complain is if they now have to leaderboard grind another week.

Yusaku_Kudou
May 14, 2008, 07:51 AM
If we don't hit 200 mil with an extra week then we officially suck, though.

On the other hand, I would just like for the Skill/Bullet/Tech levelling boost to kick in already. >.>

Well, if the time it took to get to 100 million is much longer than what we have left (minus 20 million), we may still not reach that number. We may have to increase efforts to match it. Something that can be a tall order for the majority of players.

May 14, 2008, 08:28 AM
I have FOUR friends who were locked out for 2 weeks due to Sega SCREW UP.

One was ready to get a spread needle but its impossible now that he has finals. So Sega does owe him extra time.

An extension of MAG is the LEAST they could do.

Geez - they were Begging Sega "oh please oh please fix my account oh ye Sega gods please have mercy on our pitiful existance" Begging to play PSU - and sega took 2 weeks. FRICK. Some Customer Service. Doesn't Sega want our money?

They extended MAG? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif I didn't know about it before, then I checked the thread list and saw this thread (http://www.pso-world.com/viewtopic.php?topic=175687&forum=20&62).

I'm leaning towards "slightly disliking" the extension, mainly because I hate grinding the same mission over and over for weeks at a time. Still, I think it's good for the people who were 065'ed the first half of the event, and I can't complain about having more chances to hunt rares, get badges, level classes, etc.

SammaeltheDark
May 14, 2008, 11:49 AM
I like it. I'm not gunning for a Spread Needle/G so I could care less about keeping up with the leader boards. If I get bored with MAG, I go run something else

Also I had enough time to get all the items I wanted out of the event yet. An extension should easily solve that. I might just go for a Pushan yet

Kylie
May 14, 2008, 11:51 AM
They needed to do this for compensation. But, personally, I'm not that excited about the extension, but it's not like anyone is going to put a gun to my head and force me to do MAG. I haven't been lately, and I probably will continue not to do the event, especially after I get a few items I've wanted.

Arryn
May 14, 2008, 12:10 PM
no because i doubt i will be back on even before the end of that week 2

DAMASCUS
May 14, 2008, 12:12 PM
Yeah if they freeze the Leader Boards it'll be fine since those of us who were 065d' have no chance of catching up anyway; not within reason anyway.

Plus they are suppose to announce a compensation for those who weren't able to play during the 065...but maybe the extra week is all we get...bummer.

landman
May 14, 2008, 12:38 PM
I don't like it, if our game community can't get the prices in 4 weeks then we don't deserve it, we have "completed" the event, they don't HAVE to give us another opportunity to get the extra prices, it is not PSOBB when we didn't reach the first price so they lowered the points to get the FIRST price

Akaimizu
May 14, 2008, 12:48 PM
Well, I understand. A lot of people never got a chance to contribute in the 4 weeks to get the prize, and none of those players were at fault. We're all in this together, keep your stick on the ice. (Darn Red/Green influencing my sentences)

the extention gives me a slightly better chance at finding flowens sword, twin db's and paradi an other rares i want.. i have only seen flowen drop twice and they went to other people, i have yet to see any of the mag specific stuff to drop yet.

BrandonHeat
May 14, 2008, 12:58 PM
I dont like the extension, means more grinding of this mish.... so bored I want a new mish to come out not just S2s for existing mishes BLAH Annoying long ass events as this are just the reason why the game isnt really fun anymore there is no difficultness to it. I can start playin today with a lvl 1 and by the end of the night be almost to 70-90 lvl range, how much fun is that, especially when the cap is 130 >< ST please quit makin these events a whole month long... THEY SUCK!!!!

BrandonHeat
May 14, 2008, 03:39 PM
Well I understand your issue since you still 065ed but maybe in the week extension maybe they can release a new mish so the ones of us who are played out can do something new... that would be nice

Bottom line is an extention would be great, regardless. The spread needle/G is pointless. Sure its strong but shotguns fail anyways. Sure it would be cool to have the /G at the end but id rather wait for a real SN. Im in this event to get my new char to 130. He made it from 1 to 108 and a week or 2 would be just enought to cap him out since i cant play this weekend

May 15, 2008, 09:11 AM
They are still decideing if they will really extend MAG or not. No time limit has been given as to how long it will be IF they do extend it. Those are the facts, however, it sounded, to me, that they were just coming to some agreement on it. Like they were fine tuning the details. But nothing has been said 1 way or the other about anything
