According to Ruby, it will be on Moatoob and according to screenshots from System ID, the next Mission Spotlight is Bruce Dungeon. And I know that I'm not the normal person to point this out. But now, I feel important. :D

Hope to see you there.

I'm throughly offened. :argh:

But really, that's cool, Moatoob needs attention. Hope they pick a good spot. :wacko:

lol, I'm so sorry. :(

As for the spot, I suppose that they'll pick an area that has good enough MP and Exp rewards to be in the same league as WB. A mission like that with the benefit/chance of the FOI and I won't step foot in WB for the whole week. :D

if you need a "mission spotlight" to explore other missions you suck period.

Stryker Diaz
Jul 7, 2008, 12:43 AM
its not so much as that as it is to get other people out of the monotony of running WB over and over again only because of exp and MP, im sure if they made System defense, Awoken Serpent, Desert Goliath, or Lonely laboratory as profitable in the exp and mp area almost everyone would leave that place.

You need a "mission spotlight" to find a party outside of White Beast.

Fixed and it sounds a lot nicer too.

I made this thread to inform and even light discussion. Don't destroy it so quickly please. :D

I hope for desert goliath. :P I'll have a party and I might even get my shigga baret.

Stryker Diaz
Jul 7, 2008, 12:48 AM
I think Desert Goliath is a great mission and should be appreaciated more ^_^ but I think awoken serpent and the classic evil wierd ugly flying rock throwing beast deserves some attention too xD

yeah i know - it's just pretty sad that it's come to this. there's a few ways i can see them fixing this... i'll just put this one out there; boosted drop rates, meseta, experience for lesser played missions. lesser exp, meseta, drop rates for most-played missions. exact %s up to them. that seems logical to me, provided the stat-tracking code is in place which i believe that it is.

I don't believe the GMs have the ability to modify drop rates and experience. But at least the spotlights are a step in a good direction. Looking forward to see what else may come.

Trust me, if the GM's had the power to add that to their mission spotlight, they would. But even to do that little tweaking to the game, they need permission from Sega of Japan.

Well, you can take a guess on how that would work. But yeah, I'll admit, these spotlights don't really give you incentive to take your play elsewhere, rather than the whole Anti-White Beast momentum that has picked up.

And I'll say it. White Beast is a good mission. But enough is enough already. I personally hope that Bruce's Dungeon is the next hotspot. I want my Gudda Iggac and Bruce's Partner Card.

It'll probably be the lake, seeing as there are four missions you can do from it, right?

Ken_Silver
Jul 7, 2008, 01:37 PM
Bumping this, so that people will know where and when the new one is.

As of now, the official site has yet to be upadted though.

I will change it as soon as I find out.

Thank you for your time.

Jul 7, 2008, 01:45 PM
We'll be announcing the new spotlight soon!

Edit - Actually, things are going faster than I planned. Going to wait until our website is ready for a simultaneous update and then we'll send out the in-game banners. :)

i recommended to Ruby last week on Parum that it should be at Awoken Serpent and then ppl can also hang at the casino after. He seemed to really like the idea and told me he would look into it more for a future destination. maybe this could be it.

Jul 7, 2008, 01:50 PM
Oh nice. I'll probably head over there then, I've just been sitting in my room and listening to music for like 2 hours. :-P The lake makes the most sense to me too, but since a lot of people have already said that, I'll call Awoken Serpent.

...im sure if they made...Awoken Serpent, Desert Goliath...as profitable in the exp and mp area almost everyone would leave that place.

Umm... you are aware that both Awoken Serpent and Desert Goliath have better MP rewards than White Beast. Add to that you definitely get more exp on Awoken Serpent. The old format DG would have had more exp (the one that had a triple Grinna spawn every second encounter), but considering it's only a two block mission...

*edit* link of MP vs white beast (http://www.pso-world.com/forums/showpost.php?p=2071761&postcount=77) for those who still think it's the best mission for MP when it's not even in the top 5.

Quick update on this week's announcement - I was going to post it first before the website was updated, but things are moving faster than I thought and we're going to wait just a little bit longer to do a simultaneous website update and announcement. You'll see the in-game banners go out as soon as things are live.

Ok. As long as it's up before I have to get ready for work in 2 hours or so I'll be able to do it now, I've never seen the in-game announcement for the spotlight. :-P

Yes

So their doing Moattob this week. You know what would be a cool choice or one I hope they do. Stolen Weapon. I know its not the greatest mission for drops but it fun seeing full parties working together and going after the six switch Grinna Bete S.

Thanks for the info System ID, I've updated it. :D

Soo... to keep this afloat so others can see...

Has anyone been there yet? How it is? I can't log on yet, since I have company over.

I think bruce being spotlighted is good... why? Catilium being found.

fay
Jul 7, 2008, 06:48 PM
updating it with the answer being bruces dungeon.

it was funny. the whole white beast area just ran off at the same time. a big hoard of people running to motoob haha.

its actually rather hard that mission on s rank. trying to keep bruse alive is a challenge itself

ran it 4 times on s rank.
each run we found 4+ catilium and about 5+ mot walna. i also got myself a ank deddac. not to bad. catilium prices will deffinetly drop fast over the next week

Indica
Jul 7, 2008, 06:49 PM
Maybe Catilium prices will go down. I dont need any, and have around 150 saved for this forever taking MAG synth boost.

Jul 7, 2008, 07:04 PM
Aww. Just realized that you need to be on level 100 for Bruce Dungeon S. No fair. I'm on level 92 and there's no way I can make level 100 before this event ends. :disapprove:

fay
Jul 7, 2008, 07:08 PM
i hate to say it but you could always do heavy white beast spamming lol.

besides you dont have to do it just now. its not like the missioin dissapears. if you want a change by playing it even if the week has past just get another 3-4 peopel and go in it after :)

i realy hope they do a mission spotlight for her secret mission in the newdays guardians branch. never done that either.

Interesting... I didn't bother with PO, but I do kind of like Bruce's.

And maybe this will make the price on catlium and iggacs drop a little.

OH!!! Awoken Serpent gives even more MP than White Beast!!! Not only that, but freeze resist and other valuable items drop.
