Outline of [Purification Order: Absolute Zero]
-This event takes place between chapters 3 and 4 of Episode 3 of the story mode and will run from July 16 to August 27, 6 weeks.

-6 Missions will be added, seems like a lot but it's really one event mission with a bonus mission at the end, exchange, milestone, a prologue, and a tutorial... Wait you forgot the Reseve mission, how will people find parties to play in now!?

New items
-New room good(s), weapon(s), and armor will be added with this week's update.
-Casino Exchange will be rotated yet again.

I'm surprised they care enough about their plot to even try to get the timeline right.

If we get firebreak+ it will be with a new drop.......... Banspheres :p

It's possible that more missions will be added during the event. o-o; (for example, when STD started there was only 1 mission).
So, can't really be said that it will be 1 mission for 6 weeks.

I still have ban-photons from firebreak in my gachas, they better use only spheres in all next events.

Arika
Jul 13, 2009, 08:42 AM
Such a long event again, but consider this happen after a long period without event, so people will be fine with it.


one mission per 6 weeks is impossible, they never give full content of the event in the first date anyway, you will see update coming!

Ray-sphere, so we skip ban-sphere and still miss Gra-sphere, Di-sphere.

Waki Miko Syamemaru!
Jul 13, 2009, 10:25 AM
I could make an InFamous joke about that ray-sphere but I won't. I can't see Sega uploading all that in one go. Maybe a little here and a little there yea, but not everything in one shot!

Maintenance extended by 4 hours (on top of the extra 3 hours already they took for this week's maintenance).

Arika
Jul 16, 2009, 04:42 AM
They work over time today to skip tomorrow work (US server no maintenance)

FOnewearl-Lina
Jul 16, 2009, 04:49 AM
Anyway you look at it 14 hours of maintenance is just ridiculous...

What is there to do apart from uploading missions that should have been thoroughly tested before beginning maintenance.

And I'm sure there will still be fatal flaws left after servers go up, so they'll have to go down 30 minutes after going back up yet again.

Would've been so much more awesome if it was called 'Pannon Cannon' instead of 'Laser Pannon' :(

Still, wonder how well it grinds :lol:

Looks like you can trade 20 ray-spheres for the 2nd tier of metals like paural.

Agree with Neith.

I think Panon Cannon is better, because it doesn't really shoot laser. It shoot a pannon tho.

Ffuzzy-Logik
Jul 17, 2009, 02:09 AM
I know, but Pannon Cannon is just simple alliteration, whereas Laser Pannon is quite punny.

It kept breaking after 5 so fuck it, someone else with faith can grind it and hope it gains the necessary 90 atp per grind to beat adahna+10.

lol 600 ATA

Neith
Jul 17, 2009, 01:22 PM
Am I reading that wrong, or is it just called 'Gekka', rather than its full name?

Also, hope it grinds well, because that's not very impressive stat-wise (aside from the 600ATA, which isn't even needed).

Ffuzzy-Logik
Jul 17, 2009, 05:51 PM

Don't panic just yet, it could be possible that this is some sort of lower-end version of the real thing. They've done this with several PSP weapons already, Elecdrive/Elec Distortion for example.

Very cool. I've been wanting an ice event for a quite a while, but I guess I'll wait for it to hit the EN servers.

I'm pretty sure the Okiku Doll is Segac's way of saying "fuck you" to all the non-Japanese players. "The girl who owned this doll disappeared?" I may not be a girl, lol, but I sure as hell disappeared... *ends subscription*

I love how if you clear the mission in less than 5 minutes, ST robs you of rare mission.
Have a seat, relax, don't rush through the mission so bloody quickly, okay?

Chinese people still play the game?! :o

One joined our party last night... Didn't speak or anything and just ran around poking the unpurified SEED cores with his spear / picking up items... Didn't really help out much at bonus either... XD

Well you only need 3 people to clear bonus, but it was kinda amusing watching this mute player beeline to all the items even with a counter running.

well, that forum is Hong Kong based, mainland Chinese wouldn't use that forum since its in traditional Chinese

there's just a handful of HK players still paying the monthly fees now, and most of them don't even play

I realized soloing Frozen Flowers that if you die 5 times or you run out of Scape dolls and die, mission ends. Dunno if it's 5 deaths per party member or 5 deaths in total.

You'll be happy to hear that it does. :>

Just tonight I noticed it when the party I was in stopped at the end of a mission to chat for a bit.
