Fuck you SEGA, fuck you.

[Arika]

Wild Blast cause nanoblast to last longer I think.

[Chocolate]

Wild Blast cause nanoblast to last longer I think.

Oh.. :( Any change is good I just thought it would be a bit more impressive than that.

[Ezodagrom]

Any details about the Nanoblast rebalance? o.o

[Arika]

Dunno, because I m not beast, I just heard that purple one has even more def now.

and it seem that every color has higher atp mod.

and rumor zone :
[spoiler-box]moving speed faster.[/spoiler-box]

[biggabertha]

It would be so awesome if you guys actually DO get a totally new nanoblast...

Lasting longer or pumping up the stat boosts would be a solid idea though.

It really is interesting to know that ST in Japan are doing a lot for the game.

With the addition of Rentis and Dizas, it should help out Forces a lot. Can anyone confirm to me wether or not either of those TECHNICs are cast on other party members...? Or are they exclusively for the caster..?

It'd certainly make Wartecher, Guntecher and Acrotecher stronger soloing classes if Tylor suddenly gets invincibility like... ALL of the time...

buff to all party. but it doesn't make you invincible. only reduce 25% damage.

[Ezodagrom]

Nice. Invincibility would be too much. ^_^
Does it defend for only 3 hits at lvl 21+ like offline or is it a timed buff? xD
And if it defends for 3 hits, does it have any changes at lvl 31 and 41? ^^;

[Ethateral]

Rentiiiiiissss~~~ <3

[Ceresa]

Hurray for all 36 techs finally being out.

New GAM so nice for amp too.

And if it defends for 3 hits, does it have any changes at lvl 31 and 41? ^^; lv 41+ block 5 times.

[nerdz]

Whoa, EX traps disabled? Poor protransers...

[RemiusTA]

GREATT...another excuse to blame techers for getting owned.

[Ezodagrom]

Apparently there's some bug on Sacred Stream/R which will be fixed on a future update.

[FOnewearl-Lina]

Yep, trying to get that stone to appear underneath the signpost causes player's client to freeze on a random basis, silly bugged mission is silly.
