FOnewewarl-Lina mentioned this update in anther thread, but I figured it could use its own discussion topic. :wacko:

To preface it all: Just in case you still haven't had enough of MAG...!

MAG S and S2 will give us something else to run, I guess.

They'll be more worth it than C-A at least.

Took them long enough to add MAG' S-S2. :lol:

I have a hard time getting excited about JP updates lately. We're SO far behind them now that we probably won't see any of these updates for about a year. ^^;

Their updates haven't had anything to get excited about lately probably has a bit to do with that too.
I'm in no rush to catch up to be honest, the only thing I'm really interested in from their months and months of extra content is the Arms Dealer mission.

ooh, time based rewards for clearing the MAG mission? that sounds great

The quicker you clear the mission, the more PA frags you get!
Though introducing this during the middle of GPS is prolly a bad idea, leaves ppl one week and then they gotta get the Valentine's stuff up.

Sad that they are really dragging their feet about releasing new content. I guess they won't release any new S3s and non-story mission lvl 175-199 monsters until the AOI update.

I dunno about you guys, but I've had all the MAG I can stand, so I'd rather not see this come our way. There's no way in hell I'm going to forsake my life again doing C runs of the same damned mission for 3 weeks just to even compete with other people over a weapon I just ended up trading for in the long run. There had better be some new, GOOD items with these higher ranks...

Run these at your leisure if you ever have the itch to do so. It's no event, there's no competition for items, it's just a normal old mission this time.

I might have missed out on this but I'm just wondering, was there any kill ranking rewards for top 500 on MAG+ event like they did on the 1st MAG event? and if they did then was there any changes made to the rule in order to counter C run spamming?

No kill ranking in MAG+. The only competition this time around was a time attack ranking for S2. The top 100 winners were given Medals (Gold for 1st, Silver for 2nd-40th and Bronze for 41st-100th).

Thanks for the info, it's better off without it if it's c run spams all over again, hopefully some good rares drop on s2. :wacko:

5:46 for the original MAG, 7:03 for MAG+ because you had to run the mission all the way to the end to rank in...

Those times are obviously without ruins. Remember you need 10+ minutes to open ruins.

I think the drop changes will be to remove those 1 gold coin worth area drops from the mag S2.

Sorry, you're wrong. They changed it so ruins was accessible without having to wait, and they removed the end crystal from Mines.

Fixed.

*looks*... OOOOH, finally Killer Elite will drop from Dark "Failz," lol (unless they finally added in another form, which'll probably be a reskin of Fakis' 2nd form anyway... >_>). Twin Handgun G+ might be alright, but probably stupid looking and annoying... Gur Hanabic is just fail. Give us the real ones already...

That way you can do Time Attack AND get rares at the end, though you're not really TAing if you take the time to bring an NPC along anyway.


* Adjustments will be made to this mission that will change certain drop items as well as adjust rewards based on clear time.

A bit late, but I think that 'Reward upon Mission Clear' is all it's really saying, ie: "we're nerfing the reward for S ranking the mission on S and S2"

EDIT: New drop) Megisphere!
