So here is the list of things happening the 19th.
Masterclasses!!!
Christmas lobby
New story mission Photon harvest
Christmas collectibles
WT support techs increased to 30 cap
FT support techs increased to 40 cap
AT support techs increased to 50 cap
Photon recharge rate changed for rifle
Treasure Chest added to casino

interesting to note is on Xaeris' translated link it states that GT attack techs increase from 20 to 30 but on our site it does not

[Xaeris]

*walks into topic fully prepared to call BS*
*sees links*

o_O

It...it...looks...legit...

Edit: Here's Google Translate's take: http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&u=http%3A%2F%2Fxbox360.phantasystaruniverse.jp%2Fn ews%2Fwis%2F%3Fmode%3Dview%26id%3D238&sl=ja&tl=en

[Arika]

confimed <,< why come this in the middle of tournament!!!?

My event will starting at the afternoon of 19th just right after they are starting to use master class, congrat on the person who will get 46% bil de axe beforehand!!
(since 1 person will get it for sure as the lucky draw rule)

[Voison]

wow Finally people can spam out Level 50 Spells and lag us to hell. :(

Im switching to MF just to level it then going right back to FT.

FT > MF.

[Arika]

[Voison]

[Bomber The Cosmonaut]

Neat. I probably won't be using any of the MasterClasses, but I'm sure ALOT of people are going to like this.


Until they cap them and get completely bored with it.


On a lighter note.
Huh. Surprising they're giving us ANYTHING during something like GBR.

[DPShiro]

Its just Masterclasses...

first of all its an UPDATE, im not used to those anymore.

[Shou]

You really need to change the topic name to "Dec 19 Update, Masterclasses Confirmed!!!"

[Ezodagrom]

Really? An update during a GBR? o.O
Hmm...I quitted recently, I was thinking on just coming back for shred the darkness, but I might start playing again soon ^^;

[Inazuma]

oh sweet. the eng ver will finally have master types. now i dont have to read any more posts about how horrible master types are.

unless the tech visual nerf is included, you can look forward to being completely blinded if there is at least one MF in the party.

[Danny_Dark]

Time to say This: THANK YOU SEGA FOR THE UPDATE !

[Rust]

Hum... Masterclasses...
Cool for those who were waiting so long to use them. :wacko:

Now to go enjoy my last week of XP with randoms before I can't tag shit anymore.

[Mysterious-G]

Now to go enjoy my last week of XP with randoms before I can't tag shit anymore.

Think positive, you can still wear and let other people see your pedosuit at least... :p
I, on the other hand, will be too fast and powerful to still be seen by most players. :roll:

unless the tech visual nerf is included, you can look forward to being completely blinded if there is at least one MF in the party.

but yeah...I have to agree with this. No more blind assumptions with Master Calsses anymore, but the tech lighshow is bad news. For some of us...

But yeah, Master Classes won't go away so i hope none of the already set plans changes due to this

[amtalx]

This is awesome...but don't expect to see me on until Monday or Tuesday. I don't feel like getting burned again.

[PepperCat]

Master Classes?!?!?

Can I get a "HELLS YEAH!!"?

[Seority]

*Takes foot out of ass*

It finally happened lol.
GOOD JORB SEGAC!

[Mysterious-G]

Can I get a "HELLS YEAH!!"?

*sigh* Oh well, okay:
[spoiler-box]No, you can't. :clown:[/spoiler-box]

I hope people will postpone their masterclass leveling and come to the casino event, which only takes part once, while masterclasses can be leveled at any time afterwards.

[rayner]

Does this update include Lv 30 Attack Techs for Guntechers? Sorry can't click the links I'm at work, but somehow I can check these forums? haha

Don't Think So.

[desturel]

Hmm, hidden updates I'll be looking for:

Guntecher Attack Techs
Wartecher Support Techs
Acrotecher Support Techs
Fortetecher Support Techs

Photon Charge update.

I'll check for all of these updates after the maintenance.

*edit* whoops, looks like someone already mentioned Guntecher. Guess I should have hit refresh.

[Cracka_J]

DAMN IT.

Looks like I'll have to re-sub in January. :D

Better late then never, that's all I gots ta say.

[Dragwind]

Wow, this is great news!

Oh god do we need that Photon Charge update... I can't stand going into the items menu to recharge my Crossbows...

[Meta77]

Come now people master classes wont be all that. As much as most of you complain i doubt this will do anything to satisfy you. *of course two of my 4 characters will be getting the MC treatment* I want another dang expansion or new planets.......yep.......and more often updates as of currently seem pretty good.

[darkante]

Good timing, can´t wait to try GM! Having finishing maxing the elements bullets for Shotgun & Rifle makes this even sweeter, (on further note, i have almost maxed my Twin Handgun P.A as well) happy happy day. ^^

[Zarode]

What? No... I'm not freakin' ready...


Shit.

[Darius_Drake]

Sweet. I have a Gunmaster and Fighmaster in waiting. I still have a little job leveling to do to get my Masterforce ready though. Still this is way to sweet. I just hope I actually see this on Friday morning.

[Ethateral]

Omg! Yes!! <3 I'm so excited! X3 I'll have my Masterforce and Fighmaster all ready to go! Friday come faster! XD I wanna blind everyone and slow them down even more.

New story mission too~ <3

[Syaoran_69]

I'll wait till Friday to give my opinion. As much as I want SEGAC to no fail, their history isn't the greatest... so yeah, ttys ;-)

[RadiantLegend]

Lv 50 PAS HERE I COME!!!!!!!!!!!!

*lowers price on 16% Dagger Of Serafi* :-D

Gunmaster? Nice. Story missio-

WAIT, GUNMASTER? :D

Yeah, you better be running, Rozenom mobs :wacko:

[Seority]

Now Dengeki should come so we call all level up our PAs fastar!
PSU needs to keep it's promise of being an easy game! >:O
Lols

[DarkEliteRico]

Gunmaster? Nice. Story missio-

WAIT, GUNMASTER? :D

Yeah, you better be running, Rozenom mobs :wacko: Any and all mobs will fall, but Rozenom = love with all those choke points. More and more Battlestoppers for me...maybe I'll manage to get a few 10/10's out of this as well as a LKK or two

[Darius_Drake]

I'll wait till Friday to give my opinion. As much as I want SEGAC to no fail, their history isn't the greatest... so yeah, ttys ;-)

LOL!!! That is the understatement of the year. Their history has been horrible. I wonder if this timing has anything to do with trying to make it up to us for the rollback. I seem to doubt this is the original plan for the release of master classes. The overall timing just seems weird.

[Alnet]

I honestly cannot say that I saw this coming. :wacko: But I honestly cannot say that I am not utterly pleased to hear this.

[Spartan Law]

*Dances* :D

[Golto]

I guess pigs can fly because we will get two good updates in the same quarter. It does make we wonder what the hell we will get Jan 2nd now.

[DreXxiN]

TO PEOPLE WITH THE OMGMASTERCLASS DURING CUP SCARE

CAAAAAALM DOWN!!!!


Seo reminded me before I flipped out of the rule where you have to stay the class you are for the event. =)

Remember teh rules, mates!

[Tyreek]

0_o; *Has a heart attack* Dammit. And only 2 of my techs are of potential 5th tier. Oh well, at least they are my favorite ones.

[ForteGunnerW]

Hmm but this might mean no.. Carnival!!

[Zeek123]

What? No... I'm not freakin' ready...


Shit.

Agreed :dead:

[HienkyakuX]

Yeah only need to finish 3 lasers from 31-40 and I'll be ready for FM,GM & MF with all their others PA's at 40 :P insane I know....

[Anon_Fire]

Time for me to spam my Skill PA's to 50.

[goaferboy]

On a side note. Anyone remember that story mission where you had to rescue people trapped under rubble? Not playable with Gunmaster at all since you had to use a melee weapon to break the rubble. It always provides a Saber, but won't be usable by GM. I tried all the weapons I had (GM pallette ready) and none worked.

Not the end of the world, but worth mentioning I suppose.

[bp_shoruko]

wait a minute... an update? so soon?

did sega get new management...?

[sephiroth115]

"Also, with regard to the above restrictions on three types of effects can not be captured in the mission, or S rank can not be cleared." Wth does that mean? In the translator, it was right after the master classes

[PepperCat]

"Also, with regard to the above restrictions on three types of effects can not be captured in the mission, or S rank can not be cleared." Wth does that mean? In the translator, it was right after the master classes

Basically, some story missions you need to break rubble and you won't be able to do it as GM or MF.

Same goes for FM who won't be able to shoot anything (like wall switches) thus not being able to get S-rank on certain missions, but in a party you'll be fine.

[joefro]

I have no idea why but last night for some reason I went on a shopping spree for all kinds of fighmaster junk. My PAs aren't ready though! Oh well, maybe I'll finally level Absolute Dance as fighmaster(lol).

Now...lv50 Support, oh yes I'm ready for that.

[Tyreek]

Thankfully I got 2 of my doublesaber PAs maxed and another one well on its way. I should be ready for Fighmaster when it comes.

[Raveno]

i'd say this would be compensation for rollback..but i'm not looking comp...but some people could consider this to be



wow!!!!! masterclasses....screw WoW.....hello PSU

[Kinako78]

wait a minute... an update? so soon?

did sega get new management...?

No, SoJ just finally stopped screwing around with us.

Anyway...

Christmas rappies...?

New story mission...??

Level 50 support techs for Kinako...???














YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[DarkEliteRico]

<--- is totally going to power level the rest of my lasers the next few days...star wars can wait

[Akaimizu]

I almost can't believe it. For some reason, I keep thinking this is arriving too fast. Yes, I'm ready to do the Gunmaster, but I so didn't expect this.....

[Para]

DAMN IT.

Looks like I'll have to re-sub in January. :D

I have to resub on the 21st >_>

Well, I'll save my glee until they actually pull it off.

Assuming all goes well, it will be nice to finally play MF. Even if it is gimpy as hell compared to the other two.

[ThaiSoup]

I think I shat myself.

[Golto]

Speaking of Rappy Noels is there a new drop for lvl 150+ ones?

[WHlTEKNIGHT]

Speaking of Rappy Noels is there a new drop for lvl 150+ ones?no same as last year

[Noblewine]

Sweet another update.

[Alecc]

why isn´t this on the front page? are we being punked by any chance? :(

[S-T-H]

Sorry...if noone else gets to it (surprised it hasn't been already), I will soon. I actually had a couple flights yesterday and am currently in 'recovery mode'. I'm trying to get caught up from the past couple days. For the next few weeks I'll be on Eastern time, so it's unlikely I'll be able to handle the stuff during the night (news from JP/unlisted update notes). I'll look into just getting up early and doing it that way.

EspioKaos posted notes here:
http://forum.psupedia.info/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=287

The balance information is copypasta from one of the PS2/PC JP updates. The GT cap should be added too and the FT HP increase should have arrived already. We'll see for sure by Friday, but I expect the JP page is just a bit inaccurate atm. The rest of it should be right.

[Anduril]

Damn it. Now I need to go finish up getting my AT buffs to 40...
But, yay! Time to be the only (maybe) Female Newman Mastergunner!

[NDW]

I'm so glad to hear about this. Even though I only have two out of four characters maxed out on PAs for preparation, I can still level up my other characters some other time. I guess the first LV41+ PAs I will get to experience first will be my skills and support TECHNICs.

[Shinko]

GM will be good because you still can use most of the good guns.

But as for FM... well it be great if and only if they add visual nerf. It not.... man it go to be a very bad exp. with a party with one JUST one. 3 is down right crazy. I'll avoid parting with them if thats the case.

And FM... well im not to crazy about swords. so that leaves about 3 weapon. which is still ok i guess. the problem i see is that every1 will be use jabroga. Ppl will be missing there jabroga because the 1st person who hit with theres most likely killed them so it be a race to see who can use there jabroga 1st. And any one else who's not a FM.... will not be hiting shit unless they have guns, slicers or long rang techs. Then u will have eliteist bitchin say dont use ur jabroga if its not doing 5k or more.

All in all i see GM FM being cool (if visual nerf) but i see problems with FM. Watch FM will be getting boot often if they killing things to fast lol watch. Hope FM have friends XD. Im going to try to all out though

[Pika]

someones death threat must have finally gotten threw to sega officials o.o

sadly, i wont be using any master class's anytime soon, still awesome to see the update

[gratefulgriz]

this is great news! it is absolutely freeeezing here in Montana and I don't plan on leaving the house for day/months! PSU I am glued to you!

[furrypaws]

WT support techs increased to 30 cap

FINALLY. <3

Thank you Segaaaaaaaa. ^.^

[Astarin]

Do Fortetechers really get another HP increase? We got one a while back, when Guntechers got their TP increase. If they increase much more, they're going to catch up to Guntecher HP.

Also, Guntecher should be getting their attack technic boost too. My Foie, Diga, Megid and Ramegid have been hovering at 20 for some time, now.

Good news, all around, if the update hits on time. I'm particularly looking forward to the new story mission. (New partner cards, new enemy, and I think a new area)

[Vickie]

Are prisms going past 40 on this update?

[DarkEliteRico]

Are prisms going past 40 on this update?All signs point to YES, it would be moot to release master classes if they didn't get the increased PA levels which most people want

[Ffuzzy-Logik]

Do Fortetechers really get another HP increase?
Most likely not. From the looks of things, that bit was almost certainly a copy-paste error on the part of the JP site.

[Rambo!]

Would fighmaster be better at melee weapons and overall atp then fortefighter? Or is it more of a ranger class?

Is there a Fortemaster left out somewhere? >.>

[mothra]

so...does this mean that the visual nerf is happening for sure on friday?

[SStrikerR]

Sounds good, more classes and PAs to level. No thanks.

[zantetsuken]

Strange that there's no mention of the GT attack tech update...

Hopefully it's just an error on the website and they don't actually forget to add it. ~_~ But this is Sega so I'm worried...

"We're Sorry, changing to a masterclass resets all your current PAs to level 1"

[Mattness]

I've read a lot of forums and a lot of talk is going on about the master classes being released on thursday... Is this true?

[Ffuzzy-Logik]

Apparently you didn't read this forum too carefully, because there's a topic about this directly below this topic.

[Morpheo]

really didnt expect this...during an event? on schedual maintnance and update time?? it isnt the compensation... lets hope it doesnt get bugged out and no roll back........ kinda wish it wouldnt come out right now, they could wait till GBr is done but meh, im impressed

[Delete]

I came.

:lol:
Holy ash from pokemon, master classes for realz?
Maybe sega should screw up more often with rollbacks, who knows, maybe we could see some 12 star friggin gunner weapons. Jk of course.

That's GREAT news, now I honestly won't mind being war/guntecher with my characters. This gives us more playability and cross class play. It's about eff'in time. I have to say my faith in them is going up for now, I hope they can continue on an upward trend.

[relentless]

Is it a plane? Is it 065? NO, it's the MASTER- rollback.

Seriously though, have fun with the new stuffz0r+~

At first I was like OMG YAY, but then I remembered I leave for 2 weeks on the 19th. T_T Excuse me whilest I go cry.

[Meta77]

As much as most of you complain i doubt this will do anything to satisfy you. *of course two of my 4 characters will be getting the MC treatment* I want another dang expansion or new planets.......yep.......and more often updates as of currently seem pretty good.

and i still believe this

[Sinue_v2]

I only really care for the new story mission and WT support 20.

Don't plan on getting a master class for any of my characters, and my GunTecher doesn't use attack techniques.

Guess I'll have to switch off my S/D between my WT and GT and get them leveled for this Friday.

[Darius_Drake]

"We're Sorry, changing to a masterclass resets all your current PAs to level 1"

Don't even play like that. ST might be reading this thread as we speak.

awww... *hugs* I may try it out myself sometime. I need to see what I need S ranks of first, though.

[Cracka_J]

I guess it's good that I leveled my fighter first and am in the process of getting my techer to 150. All my techs are currently at cap, so this weekend I can still run GBR with peeps and put on a level to all my techs so I can blind everyone.

That's all pending the tech nerf as a suprise update, of course :/

[Rust]

Just the fact Masterclasses are allowing S-rank equipment only turned me off.
Most of the S-rank weps are looking so damn generic and too commonly spread.
The best-looking and designed weps are all 9* ; I'll stay WT/GT/FI or anything else for that simple reason.

[Akaimizu]

You do have a point that there are a lot of "not as good as A-class" looking S-classes out there. Still, I think each one of the Masters has at least a couple of nice-looking S-class weapons. Even the Gunmaster gets a really cool looking S-class Laser cannon or two.

[Rust]

Hum, I don't like Lasers, Rifles and Launchers. The only weapons which really interests me in Gunmaster is Twin Handguns.
Plus I need to have a different type of weapon in each slot of my palette. I switch often or else I get bored. Give at least six different types of weapon to a Masterclass and maybe I'll give it a shot (and no, I don't like FT either for that reason ; you can have six different type of weapon on your palette as a FT, but 4 out of the 6 would be useless).

Anyways, that is still a good update. Most of the people have been waiting for those for too long, and I'm still interested in the Christmas lobbies and TECHs cap increases. (The story... well, I'd have to get past Ep. II Chapter 2 first. :wacko:)

[Neith]

Hum, I don't like Lasers, Rifles and Launchers. The only weapons which really interests me in Gunmaster is Twin Handguns.

Just to point out- Gunmaster doesn't use Grenade Launchers. It's Rifle, Shotgun, Laser Cannon and Twin Handguns. Not sure if you meant Shotgun or not.

[DAMASCUS]

Isn't the upcoming Weapons Merchant going to have S ranks that look like A ranks available too? What're they called..

Like Neith said they have shotguns instead of launchers. I thought it sucked that gunmaster was denied launchers at first but I actually already made my dream palette:

Twin Handguns: Battlestoppers
Shotgun: Shigga Pakuda (not out yet, still want it)
Rifle: Rattlesnake & Killer Elite
Laser: Adahna Degahna Cannon

All deadly yet fashionable at the same time. :D

[Kasui]

masterclasses...yay?

[Akaimizu]

Funny enough. A while ago, I basically kept on doing Parum runs I knew would drop S-rank Laser cannons. Now I have a plethora, El Guapo!!!!

[Rust]

Just to point out- Gunmaster doesn't use Grenade Launchers. It's Rifle, Shotgun, Laser Cannon and Twin Handguns. Not sure if you meant Shotgun or not.

I didn't mean Shotgun, but Grenade Launcher.

I was just pointing out that among the three range weapons I don't like, two of them are in the Gunmaster selection. I'm then reduced to stick on two weapons only.

Shotgun is OK, I use that type of weapon to some extent, but I'm way more leaning towards light firearms such as handguns, machineguns and crossbows (that's mainly why I went to GT quite immediately when I created my CAST back in v.1). Oddly enough, I also like bows ; it's somewhat lway less boring than shooting a rifle to me, since the animation of the rifle is super-static (and I like the character stance when you strafe with a bow...).

[DreXxiN]

This is off-topic but I just wanted to point out that Rust can EASILY solo Bladed Legacy S2 via seducing and brainwashing the little mages to fight for him and take out Magashi with ease.

This is why class doesn't matter to Rust.

[Rust]

Yeah, even though I don't even meet the min. level requirement for entering S2, I solo'd that mission in that difficulty more than once already.

That's just how amazing I am.

[AlphaDragoon]

LOL masterclasses.

*stays an Acrofighter*

[DreXxiN]

LOL masterclasses.

I'm actually really glad everytime someone doesn't like the masterclass Idea. Makes me happy that not everyone will be one, we need variety =)

Yeah, Shotgun will decimate most bosses you'd normally use a Grenade on. I've actually ditched Grenades almost entirely on my Fortegunner in favour of a 2nd shotgun, and bosses still die fast enough. Remember, you'll have more ATP on Lv50 Shotgun bullets, a higher Elemental modifier, and a faster rate of fire. Shotgun will be fine.

[Akaimizu]

Shotgun is good stuff. Heck, when I see Magas (our lovable red robot moatoob boss), I greet him with a high levelled ground shotgun, on my Guntecher. It's has Magas' name inscribed right on it. Go in, and murd-- er shoot that base off. Then the rifle is the finisher.

Of course, there's always Dark Falz. yeah, he's a simple boss, but against a fully powered Light Shotgun....he's paper. Just two examples. And I'm talking Guntecher here...not even Fortegunner, or someone else with higher ATP. You never know how well a shotty can work, until you play a class where the alternate boss-killing weapon is not available.

Does anyone have any details on the Hyuga adjustment? I used the search feature and didn't see anything mentioned anywhere.

I don't know any specifics but they're making him somewhat smarter....now they need to do that with Alfort. He shuffles in place way too much

[Rei-San]

Downside on my end is that now I have to go through the trouble to lvl my techer to WT. -.- I'm still glad though.

[Hiro_EtBlue]

Glad to hear it for all those who have been waiting for it. I know a few people who can't wait to go Gunmaster and Masterforce. I myself like the new upgrades they are giving to the old classes.

It's too bad I don't care for 3 out of the 4 Fighmaster weapons and therefore don't have the pallette for them so I guess I will stick to Fortefighter. I might take one of my character Gunmaster when I feel like leveling up rifles (currently only have the shotguns and twin handguns leveled up anywhere near Gunmaster levels).

Out of curiosity, not saying one is better than the other, anyone going to stay Fortefighter?

[Akaimizu]

You see, my favorite thing about Gunmaster is not only what they do....but a fine way to level what's left of your lasers and rifles to 40 and beyond. You have acrotecher for speedier tech levels (to a point), now we have Suzanne Somer's FighMaster and Gunmaster.

Edit: Not excluding Masterforce, but these other Masters bring the concept of speedier bullet PA and many skill PA use into a game which previously didn't have it. (except for the specific weapons of the Acrofighter)

[chicken105]

And I only been preparing for about 8-9 months :D!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!! WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BLADE_EDGE]

anyone know the requirements for all the new classes and what the restrictions on the classes are?






My signature seems to go over the filesize limit everynow and again, so why do they keep reducing it? w/e guess ill have to scale it down again -_-

I am going Fighmaster, but I am not completely abandoning Fortefighter. I am really curious with the master class, but the knuckles remain my favorite weapons and I am gathering a nice collection of twin sabers. I also enjoy the flexibility to have a gun from time to time for certain missions. Basically I will be jumping back and forth between the two.

[San Anto]

Sure will be a lot more work capping master classes 40000 mp required in total
2000 per class level.

Yes, a handgun can be quite satisfying. I wish fortefighters could use S rank single handguns or at least have lv30 bullets. It's the one class that handguns seem to have been made for.

I'm staying fortefighter. I want a job that has a ton of HP, and ton of DFP. Ideally this job would also have decent resistance to techs, but that ain't gonna happen. I would also like access to S-rank twin daggers, swords, and knuckles. such a class does not exist.

[McLaughlin]

My ideal class would be S Rank Swords, Sabers, Twin Sabers, Knuckles, and maybe R-Mags for an offhand weapon to accompany the sabers.

Update on my birthday, woot.

[Sinue_v2]

I'm actually really glad everytime someone doesn't like the masterclass Idea. Makes me happy that not everyone will be one, we need variety =)

It's not that I don't like the idea of master classes, they just aren't for me. I like diversity of playstyle, not specialization. This is why I play a WT, GT, and PT. The only real specialized class I have is Acrofighter, and I like that class for the speed boost. I might otherwise switch her to a MasterFighter, but the restrictive pallet choices kills it for me.

Soo....

[BLADE_EDGE]

I LOVE SWORDS DOUBLE SABERS AND AXES!!!!!!!!!, spears not so much

I may stay fortefighter and become gunmaster and masterforce

[blkbeast]

wait does any 1 have a link that shows what the armor slot rules are for the master classes i browsed over the topic and the posts but couldent find any mention of them all i know is that they can only use srank armor.
oh and the pp usage just how much more is used like is double? or more... because the
description is very very vauge on this matter so any one with any info or links would be very helpful thanks for your time.

[Tyreek]

Ah that. You can use any ranked slot unit, as long as your armor is S rank. That's the only restriction if I recall correctly.

[_K1_]

Does anyone have any details on the Hyuga adjustment? I used the search feature and didn't see anything mentioned anywhere.It would be awesome if they let him turn into SEED form... but somehow I doubt that's it :)

Master classes seem kind of meh... too many restrictions on them. Only one char (my Newman alt) is ready for any of them (GM), but I just can't seen grinding up WT or FI, my two least favorite classes, in the middle of GBR. Oh well... probably switch to AT after capping and enjoy my lvl 50 buffs and all the new sabers I've collected.

[XGalvatronX]

Can't wait to see the message from Luby Dicklips apologizing for the screw up this update causes. We all know Segac can't perform a major update like this without screwing SOMETHING up.

At least we're getting something instead of another 4 months of nothing, but I'd be floored if this doesn't go wrong somewhere.

I sense an emo lurking.

[Anduril]

I'm only going Gunmaster on my Female Newman for the sake of being able to shoot and run more quickly, and GM guns are the only guns I use anyway (well I don't use Twin Handguns, but I always use Rifles and Shotguns) so it just seemed natural for her to go GM. I am ready for AT update, just one buff party on Friday and BAM! I'll be able to buff to my heart's content!

EDIT: Luckily My last final is on Friday at 10am, so I'll be able to enjoy the class updates before hand.

[ErtaiClou]

Wow I really would be excited for this update if it didn't screw over the Cup event so much. Great, 4 day deadline during finals and work. Yup, way to go. O and goodnight player run casino event.

[Alia]

urg, yeah, finals are killing me. Fortunately I'm almost done, so after that, I shall enjoy the update! ^^

[Marshall Banana]

massive change to the first post read for English link

[Cranberry]

I didn't think Master Classes were ever coming. I'm surprised that they are coming to the english versions after all.

[DreXxiN]

It doesn't screw up the cup AT ALL!. You can't change classes XD.

Luby Dicklips..oh man, that's good XDDD

[S-T-H]

After the first update to the JP page they added the note about the GT cap.

There's been another update since. It mentions that the FT HP increase has in fact already been added and it also clarifies which Christmas items will be available in the Variety Shop (ie Xmas Box, Wreath, and Reform Ticket). It also mentions a Casino update. This probably involves the addition of the Treasure Chest as well as an expected rotation.

The additional NPC changes haven't been mentioned and neither has the PP charging update for rifles. Maybe they'll put them in a later notice (for example in another page update or the end maintenance notice).
