Something had me thinking the entire event was going to be 3 weeks long, but it doesn't look like it at this point.

Well we should supposedly be getting the second mission one of these weeks, so it's going to be at least 4 weeks if we only get the second mission for one week.

In addition, we should be getting the upgraded versions of Protectors Alpha and Beta (from the first anniversary event), with S2 versions, after Gamma and Delta go away.

So, 3 weeks gamma, 3 weeks delta, and 3 weeks alpha + beta? lol, exciting summer...

I wonder if we will ever get the alpha/beta + missions.
3 weeks of this, 3 weeks of the next one, then 3 weeks of them BOTH then...?
Sucks to not have boost for Killer Elite, really does.

What if the reason of no update for 3 weeks is just to prevent people from using bonus grind on new items?

lol maybe i'm the only one happy with this since the next week i will be unable to play ^^;

Great. More time to hunt for Milla.
Kinda wished just ONE dropped anytime soon.
I like my massive amount of speed runs to actually pay-off.

Not really motivating to see other get it easiely just like that.

..(why does it feel like hunting a Love Inferno again..sigh)

Most likely the reason for no update for 3 weeks is because they're too busy with the new JP event.

Or maybe they had to delay because of the bugs in the Desert Arms Shop. When they mentioned those bugs, near the end of the page it says this (using google translation):

For these problems, we modify the survey for future updates.

Not sure what it means, but kinda seems they had to change the schedule?

Arika

Or they just try to lengthen every event in US server, because people only activate their subscription during this time anyway :S

Strangely, the number of subscribers in the 360 version seems rather consistent regardless of events. On the Top Downloads for Demos on the Xbox 360 Marketplace, the PSU Demo is in the top 20 every single day... there are just that many possible new subscribers, but Sega isn't printing the game anymore. They need to re-release it with AOTI on it for $20 on 360. We still fill up 1ォ to 2 universes every day, but it could be more.

Or they have to make like JP, where the PC version of PSU and AotI are both a free download.

More important is to have demo on PC, because that is main source of incoming population in xbox360.

5 days free trial is not enough, because people don't even have enough time to addict to it yet. they should change to 14 days at least.

landman
Jul 14, 2009, 10:40 AM
But you only get the trial if you purchase the subscription, I don't understand why it didn't have a free month like PSO GC had, at least they could see what's new from the demo to the full game.

Bleh, will be missing out on most of the event missions, then.
I'm so not resubbing when my current sub runs out.

FAIL. I was looking forward to a NEW mission this Friday and possibly getting a Killer Elite... Segac fucks us over and extorts more money from us yet again... -_-X

I was thinking just that, and wouldn't that also make it possible for us to fail making the items (like Killer Elite-dunno what the base % is for it but pretty sure it ain't 100% without bonus)as well? >_>

Idc really about not getting an update, but if our bonuses run out before we get the other mission that may have me slightly pissed.

Powder Keg

It's probably looking that way Brim.

Then again, there's a possibility of the bonuses being extended yet again due to the horrible week of lag. Just a possibility, though. ;)

I'm pretty sure what that's saying is merely that they were planning on looking into the problem to fix it in a future update. Fairly standard from what I've seen.

In addition, saying that Japan has 'free downloads' of PSU and AOTI isn't the whole story. They still have to pay 1000 yen a piece for game keys to actually play them. That fee also comes with 10 days of network mode and either an Amy (PSU) or Sonic (AOTI) statue.

Ezodagrom
Jul 14, 2009, 08:45 PM
Hmm, didn't know about needing to pay for the key. ^^;
I guess if the client would become a download for our version, it would be a payed download (since it doesn't use keys), and in case of the XBox360 version, maybe they could make AotI a standalone game like on PC and PS2, or having the v1 client in the marketplace too. ^^;
Anyway, if the client was a download, it would be easier for potential new players to get it, since not many stores have psu.

Jul 14, 2009, 09:06 PM
I say make the base game free DL, ala BB, and then maybe $5 for AotI.

We all know that at this point 90% of their income from this is subscriptions anyways.

AlphaDragoon

AOTI should be free download like Blue Burst for PC, especially since it's ridiculously hard to find copies of it at stores now anyway. That helped that game A LOT.

That + the free trial period and a bit of advertising via little web ads could actually pull in some folks.
