Rare Mission Alert

[tadtwisted]

Does anyone know if they fixed this or are we still missing out on a ton of rare missions?

[Libram]

The News posts on the PSOW Main Page have this info, but it is indeed fixed.

[Alinorth]

The Thursday update would have fixed it

[Itachi1990]

Yeah its fixed i just got it today.

[AOI_Tifa_Lockhart]

Hiya all,

That message just appaeared after defeating magashi on S run, is it a rare mission on any planet or one only in carnival?

Thanks

Tifa

[AerisZeal]

You can take that rare mission wherever you like 'cept the Guardians Colony. Have fun and good luck. :wacko:

[darkante]

Does it appear on any mission, like if i were to go on Hive for example?

[Smidge204]

I just got the message:

"[Name] has won the right to play a Rare Free Mission" scrolls in pink text on the right side of the screen right after you clear the current mission. I was solo at the time but I think [Name] would only apply to one person in the party, and likely the leader only. Can anyone confirm/refute that?

i had the message of the rare mission, and i wasn't the leader. so, not only the leader can get it °-°

[Smidge204]

Hive is off the Guardians colony, so you won't see a rare mission there.

Places you will NOT find a rare mission:

- Anywhere on the GUARDIANS Colony (Until Holy Hallucination is released, anyway)
- Event Area
- Inside GUARDIANS branches

[AerisZeal]

I'm not sure about that, I know that it use to do that but it wouldn't notify you obviously as that's something they just did. I'd say the only reason it picked it up on the event mission is 'cause A: The event lobby is Parum's Raffon Field Base or B: The Magashi route end's in Parum's Old Rozenom City Area.

[Smidge204]

Oh wait, maybe I misunderstood the question?

You can trigger a rare mission flag at almost any mission, even team/event missions. (Trade "Missions" don't count, though)

You can only PLAY a rare mission as I described above. ie: If you have the rare mission flag, you won't see it at any of the places I mentioned.

Sorry for any confusion, there.

[Kazemi]

from my experiences, you can get a rare mission from any non-single player mission. i have never seen a rare mission from a story mission and i have done way too many runs of those.

[Zorak000]

This means that now whenever anyone gets a rare mission in a random party, they will leave the party and charge entry. possibly booting them after the last 4-man switch

I got it in the event area 0.o more then once actually.And anyone in the party could get it.

[Vent]

Read his second post. :P There's a difference between getting a rare mission after a trial clear and finding one at a counter.

Probably.

I hate mission sellers. There are sooo many ways to make money in this game. Selling a mission is probably the sorriest way, aside from scamming/stealing of course.

[moomoopenguin]

Has anyone gotten a picture of this yet? I wanna see how much it differs from the Japanese servers :P

[Neith]

It says something like '[Name] has won the right to play a Rare Free Mission'.

Incase anyone's not sure, you can trigger it in the Survival mission too. Also, you can still get rare missions back to back- my party got PF, then PF again straight away tonight.

[Chris28]

can you trigger a rare mission after doing the bonus mission?

[Astarin]

Yes, you can, Chris28. It happened to a member of my party this afternoon, after World of Illusion beta.

[Q.U.I.C.K.S.I.L.V.E.R]

It would definately be useful if someone could post a SS of this.

[moomoopenguin]

There's one in the screen shot thread

[DUN]

i just got a message after beating magashi it said dun has the something to do a rare misson where do i go for the rare mission?

[Noblewine]

I got the rare mission but I didn't see the message. How long ago did sega fix this?

Rare free mission text notification was fixed last maintenance.

[Darius_Drake]

Not me. I have never booted when getting a rare mission and I have never charged anybody to run with me for a rare mission. If I need an extra person to join so I can get to all of the areas in the rare mission and none of my friends are online then somebody will just be blessed for a run.

[zxeros]

Hmmmmm I wonder does the time being in the mission still count cause I don't see it on psupedia saying it. Does anybody have any clue if it does still?

I've heard that is doesn't anymore, but I'd like to know for sure from a reliable source.

[Zorak000]

whats the difference between now and before this update?

most random party leaders are cool people and would launch the mission with the people they earned it with.

most random party joiners are D-bags, who will now leave the party upon receiving the mission.

[beatrixkiddo]

whats the difference between now and before this update?

Before, nothing alerted the randoms to the fact that they had it (unless they were the leader).

[zxeros]

I heard that too. But I want to be sure before I start hunting for the red/knight unit again.

[afterthoughtz]

Ok so i thought the "notice you have rare map" message thing was fixed, well today i ran a few missions and nothing, go to run Dancing Birds and i have it??

[Hrith]

lol lies

[Calliope]

Okay, so I'm sure I've seen the rare Mission pop up at a Flyer Base, but to be sure, what are they named? I suspect I've seen them before because after I did a mission, which had its name in Red, I could not find any more on any planet and I had the option to take one on each planet at that time.

[ChibiBecca]

just had the rare mission come up twice in a row, but oddly enough the rest of the party missed the message appearing at the end of the first rare mission, only will and myself saw it scroll up on the screen. (or perhaps they ignored it, thinking someone had picked up a rare).

[Swiftstrike]

My friend and I completed the mission and this scrolled across the right of the screen: "[name] has won the right to a rare free mission". My friend was the one named, and I was the leader. I made him leader and we did the Illusinary shaft on Parum. We completed it will no issue. Later, I was by myself and noticed I could do the mission agian (i have never recived the "free mission" text after the first). It appears that each party member gets the right to a mission (so a party of 4 can do it 4 times, or each person by themself, or any combination in between).

[Libram]

That is incorrect. A party I was with decided to check if they had the rare missions as the first thing they did the Friday of the update, and we ended up having four characters that had the flag. One run we managed to get another after the mission ended. It only went to one person.

Impossible, the rare free mission only distributes to one person when someone is awarded it.

The only explanation that I can think of for your situation is that you had the rare free mission before the text notification was fixed or you had received it before and didn't notice.

EDIT: Libram beat me to it. D:

[Swiftstrike]

strange, I would have noticed if i had the notification. I drive my friends crazy becuase i make a habit of voicing EVERYTHING that shows up on the right side of my screen.

[x1on3x]

You can still disband, and still get it. But it will show up more on the leader

[Shinko]

No thats not ture. I seen it say me and someone has the right to do a rare mission. he left and did it his self and i party with the party. Yes i'm not lying.

[Kylie]

We were doing Bruce yesterday (yeah, I don't know why either), and our leader got the rare message. I didn't think you could get it on party missions, but I guess it just doesn't show up at those counters.

Anyway, I love this feature. I've done so many rare missions lately. :D

[NDW]

Really, you both received the rare free mission in the same run?

I'm going to have to call "pics or it didn't happen" on that one.
