That it sega did a half ass job on this one they might take out the quiz mission but then again sega does allways suprise me at times you know so.......the only way to know is to wait or find a GM and ask one of them that's all I can think of

I don't care, I don't expect everything to be exactly like it was in JP.

As long as we're not getting screwed on weapons/items/whatever I'm not gonna go wild over a few rewards and other things that aren't important.

Yup. no unlock rewards, because you already got everything of that as compensation last time such as lv 3 luck, grinder boost, free make up, 10x casino coins, etc. (all of them are exactly same as degeki puzzle rewards if you ignore the weapons)

The way I see it, Sega has chosen to take the path of least complaints.

If you had to unlock everything like the Japanese players, that would be where the most complaints would be.

Casino Bonus? Only if you unlock everything else. (This is where I actually believe most of the complaints would be)

Unlocking stuff? You can only earn points through Survival mode, which means you have to spam the hell out of puzzle. Since you are now no longer required to unlock stuff, this means you are free to collect Zonspheres for items instead of dividing your efforts between earning points from survival and then getting the items you want. If you get bored with the event, you can play elsewhere knowing that you don't have to do anything else.

Survival missions? Do you really want to start with 5 stages only and earn the other 6?

No quiz? No biggie. Half the questions were opinions, so what happened in the end was the community at large were stacking the results to one answer so that they could get the Holyray easily. Holy Ray is A-Grade weapon, so the majority of you who are GMs won't even touch the thing, really.

So really, other than a holyray/d, and a speedking that many of you won't likely use, if I were a US server player, I would think that this actually works for you, not against you.

So does this mean there is not going to be a 15%+ boost to weapons grinding after the event? :sad:

Holy Ray/D = PSO memories. It's a collectors item and you know what that means. Holy Ray in common boxes by any means necessary is acceptional even if it means redownloading the demo.

We still have some time for the event, maybe SEGA will do something different. Or add Holy Ray/D and Speedking in as buyable items from the vendor

I consider quiz mission is very good to do, first of all it extent people knowledge here, I was alway curious before this event coming to think how would they make quizs in this server to suitable for information we could gather here. (and finally, the result is that they just don'tm ake quiz at all) Second thing is that I see that many people want more place to spend their sphere.

anyway, as what I said in my thread, this change has "pros" and "cons" so it is not bad, but not good.

It seems that they are now giving rollback compensation for both servers even if only one server was affected. I'm not complaining :). It would be nice if we didn't have any rollbacks though...
Edit: Almost forgot my coins today :lol:

I must collect everything in a video game where the servers will be deleted, and all my time spent being the best is wiped.

The best stuff are not collectables, and some stuff is nostalgia like the Holy Ray.
