......


Great non work Segac

[DarkEliteRico]

w00t oh well, at least we will be going back to business as usual

[Marlec]

You gotta be kidding me, lobbies is that it.

SEGA you sux

[darkante]

No suprise there, why do people expect content?
You know that Sega loves to stall.

[ashley50]

what's a Garrbage?

I expect nothing less from Mr. Buzyb :)

Welcome to the game mate...

[Arada]

Note that Sega never ended an event and gave new (real) content during the same update. There has always been at least 1 week between the end of an event (GBR) and the next update with content.

So I guess everyone could keep the "Sega sucks" comments for next week. I'm aware we're already that far behind schedule but that's how they always did. And I guess that' would be a way to not mess up data (and give us yet another rollback).

At least, I'll be waiting 'til next week before complaining.

[Barker5227]

Not really any shocking news there!

What i really dont understand is how tough it is for sega to actually do something.
PSU isnt really the most advanced game, and ive played WoW, Runescape, etc. and there are regular updates that bring new stuff out!
Why is it so hard for sega to actually do something, the graphics arent that good, most of the time they just re-skin monsters, edit exp drop, re-skin a mission and give it a new name.

Not that hard in my opinion....why cant we get the japanese sega team???
Oh well, shot gun leveling ftw!

[Rust]

I'm very glad I walked into this thread.
So much better than Espio's one, definately not a waste a time.

Kudos buz! http://www.b-m-b.be/forum/style_emoticons/default/banana.gif

In the same boat, I'm busy helping some lower levels out now on an alt so no big worries for me currently.

[Kadajenova]

best update ever !!!!! I think we're going back to the very long no-updates period. We won't get anything before March

[Dark Emerald EXE]

l...o...l

[Alecc]

great!!!! we can expect nothing til 13th february.
looks like our 1st ´whole month with nothing´ just arrived!! :) :)

[Zorak000]

w00t oh well, at least we will be going back to playing other games as usual

[Rayokarna]

Why does everyone sound suprised?

[Golto]

People are mad because they extended GBR to 6 weeks, so ST could at least have given us an update this week.

I wasnt really hopin for much
i mean the chance of having something wow happen(like some sort of winter event) wasnt very likely back to back
Who knows maybe we might get a content update next week

Visual technics nerf :o ^^;

[Dark Emerald EXE]

http://i254.photobucket.com/albums/hh101/jimlap13/UBEARWINTER.jpg

I love this :lol:

[Midicronica]

Doesn't really surprise me. Actually I prefer it this way. Now I have more time to train technics and bullets. If they went another month without an update it wouldn't bother me. By then I would will have my technics and bullets leveled to a sufficient level.

same here more time to level technics to 50... =)

[NOC G4ME v2]

i have the same veiw on this like midicronica...
but having a event will be nice to not wait like a ba-jillion years for it.
^^

[amtalx]

As long as there is something within the next month, this seems just fine. I don't really want to have my face bashed in by consecutive events with no breaks.

[Rust]

There already has been the Masterclasses update during the GBR, so I wasn't expecting much right after it would end.

More time for me to participate to the Festivult event on DDO and level a bit on PSOBB.

[xBladeM6x]

The sheer amount of BAWWWWWWWWW on this topic is OVER THOU..... =.= Whew, almost couldn't save myself from that one. >.>;;;

Anyways, this isn't that bad at all. Someone who posted before me said it best, "They always wait a week between a GBR / Event." So seriously. Save the complaining for next week kids.

perhaps not segac but sega gave the japanese server another gbr right after mag+ and there was even an update during mag+. saw this coming though.

[DAMASCUS]

It'll be interesting to see if people return to the gravity well that is White Beast or if some people will stick with SEED Express runs.

Winter Beast ftw!!

We got Neudaiz GBR the same day they took down MA:G 2...So, no, they don't always wait a week between events.

[Kylie]

Called it. ;) I'm pretty sure the only reason they extended the GBR is because they had nothing else to give us. I wouldn't worry about the lobby lasting so long though; that doesn't mean we won't get something else in two weeks.

[xBladeM6x]

The event was called off for 2 months, and it was holding everything back. On top of the fact that it was an EXACT clone of what we already had. So the theory behind that was to be just done with it already. The problem there was to get authorization from SEGA to put it in. In this case, the carnival is glitched. Two completely different situations.

They extended because of the second rollback. :P

[Powder Keg]

If it looks like we're going to go months without an update, then I'll just cancel again, no big deal. But it's way too soon to tell now...or is it? :o

[Kylie]

They extended because of the second rollback. :P
Or so they said!

[Ken_Silver]

No suprise in the update. Unless you were expecting the Lighting Carnival.

We never did get that, did we? Just want to make sure I didn't miss out on Airboard racing.

Sonic Riders knock-off for the win! :D

The way I'm looking at it, they're at a dead stop with this Lightning Carnival. How long have we been waiting for it? There's still a chunk of S2 missions we need, the Arms Dealer, and the whole Shred the Darkness event. If they can't fix whatever problems they're having with the Carnival, then I just say screw it and skip it so we can catch up.

[Golto]

They already gave us 2 gbrs that the JPN got after the Carnival so maybe we will get a 3rd before they give up on the carnival or pay a few hundred bucks to a real 360 programmer to fix the problem?

[xBladeM6x]

Or so they said!
Waa Waa Waa WaAaaaAaaAaAaaaaaa :-P

[Rust]

what do you mean?

This post was originally in another thread which has now been merged with this one.
Admittedly, it only seems like a big bunch of nonsense now, I can give that. :wacko:

Of course, I give you an example, and it's a 'completely different situation' than the one you're talking about.

[Golto]

Edward had a post that stated they are still working on compensation for the 2nd rollback so the gbr extension was not a result of the 2nd rollback. So the extension was just lazyness of not wanting to give us an update.

[Alecc]

they wrote a whole lot to say "new lobby only" on the official announcement. :D :D

[Shinko]

.......sigh

[joefro]

Sega, how about you compensate us by promising to give updates at least twice a month? I would really like to play PSU again but I need to know that content is coming. I don't want more compensation(Wouldn't it be funny if they had a rollback after they gave more compensation? Like all S+1 grinders would have a 100% chance to 10/10.) I just want to move on with content and actually enjoy playing PSU.

It would also be nice if SoA would grow a pair and just announce compensation instead of waiting for their Japanese Overlords to give them permission.

[autumn]

I don't know why anyone here was surprised enough about this announcement to BAW over it. <_< It was likelier then not that there wasn't going to be a big update this week. I'll give it another week or two before I start looking at PSU funny again >_<

[PACHI]

...ok... *crickets going off in the background*

[stukasa]

I don't mind the "update," I wasn't expecting anything this week anyway.

Wait, we're getting ANOTHER compensation? You know things are bad when we have boosts more often than not. :roll:

[Calsetes]

I thought they already did the compensation as part of that whole "2 weks of max luck, +10% grinding boost, etc. etc." stuff? I know one or two of the bonuses were "holiday" bonuses, but they said the others were compensation (unless they're compensating for something other than the most recent rollback now).

[WHlTEKNIGHT]

Its compensation for the second rollback on the 360(I dont think you pc/ps2ers had a second rollback?), I wasnt expecting this but :).

[DoperDan420x]

so this means, no new party mission, items, and GOLD BARS for xbox360? why does the ps2 get this stuff, WTF did us 360 players do wrong? besides stick around through all of sonic teams BS?

[Billy Mitchell]

so this means, no new party mission, items, and GOLD BARS for xbox360? why does the ps2 get this stuff, WTF did us 360 players do wrong? besides stick around through all of sonic teams BS?You make some good points.

The non-japanese PS2 servers didn't get gold bars either. We are far behind Japan in all updates, both content and gameplay updates.

[Golto]

You 360 people need to remember jpn pc/ps2 is not the same as NA pc/ps2.

[Hari Seldon]

You 360 people need to remember jpn pc/ps2 is not the same as NA pc/ps2.

Most of us do. Thanks for painting with a broad brush.

[Noblewine]

Time to go back to PA leveling and upgrading gear. I'll go look at the winter theme lobbies as well.

[Dark Emerald EXE]

Idk why but hearing "360 people" sounds funny

lol@ online severism (racism of another server)

^^;

[Para]

Trollable material imo Sega. You would hope they would cough up something by now after such a long break lol.

Golto's not a fan of the 360.

I wasn't expecting anything right after this GBR. I haven't played in forever so it doesn't matter much to me. Kinda wondering why I haven't cancelled yet.

[Pika]

meh, i dont see the reason to complain, we got master classes (which so many yelled about for the longest time...) just finished up an event.....why complain now? do you really expect to get another large update as an event ends??

not that i expect more, i know were far behind, further then we should be, and im not here to defend that. but i swear we could be given everything in one large update, with extra stuff not out in japan, and people would be complaining within 1 to 2 weeks...

[doomkilledu]

im just surprised Sega's thinking about giving us the second compensation...do we really need it >>. The question is what it will be the compensation...they are taking the 3* and everything else away so obviously the second compensation will most likely be something else. Hmmm i wonder what sega has up its sleaves

[beatrixkiddo]

A free silver casino coin for everyone!

[Rust]

A free bronze casino coin for everyone!

Sounds more accurate. (° °")

[Aeris]

Well this should give me time to work on my bullets more while waiting for another good update, no need to complain about this.

[Dark Emerald EXE]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=griMHTmVKhg&feature=related

that was so wrong ^^;

[OG GhettoNerd]

I don't understand what the big fuss is?!? First off, we have always got'n a big security update before a big event like Max Attack G or 1UP Cup. So that should be the first clue as to when the event might take place ( I wonder what I'll be doing the 23erd hint hint). Second there is alot that go's into preparing for somthing like that on the programing side. Unless you want alot of gitch's, GLITCHING, and rollbacks I'd just keep cool and let them do there thing. We just had a month of fun. Now lets lvl some skill's and get ready for the next thing coming I say.

[Billy Mitchell]

japs dont like americans... we smoked them out of their holes during WWII and bombed them into very small fragments of molecular atoms... ( or in other words, a plume of fart in the air). A degrading update with nothing new is nothing new to us... thier japs!My friend is a masterforce and he doesn't die very much.

Compensation is needed for the lack of care and a history of rollbacks and late updates especially on the 360 side in febuary. Let them compensate especially when theres little point in playing at the moment.
