[DPShiro]

Sweet!
The Sacred Dusters looked nice on PSP so i hope they are the same on PSU.

Shippu (Saber) >> is this the one to pair with Gekka>?

sound like Sange reward, if it was that case.

[FOnewearl-Lina]

Shippu (Saber) >> is this the one to pair with Gekka>?

sound like Sange reward, if it was that case.
Yep, it's part of HyakkaRyoran...
And yep, prolly sange yasha all over again

[Arika]

SO the name change to Hykka Ryoran, while the original name is Gekka and SHippu? hmm., weird.

[Chuck_Norris]

SO the name change to Hykka Ryoran, while the original name is Gekka and SHippu? hmm., weird.

The names are suppost to be Shippujinlai and Gekkavijin. :disapprove:

[FOnewearl-Lina]

Wonder how many steps there will be between Shippu and Gekka before they can become HyakkaRyoran...

[Ffuzzy-Logik]

Probably have to upgrade Gekka and Shippu once each (bonus points if this requires GC!), and then combine them for Hyakka Ryoran.

But maybe you can combine plain old Gekka and Shippu to get Hyakka.

[Shou]

Meh, I hate Anniversary events. :(

[FOnewearl-Lina]

But maybe you can combine plain old Gekka and Shippu to get Hyakka.
And then you gotta upgrade Hyakka into Hyakka Ryouran!

[RadiantLegend]

Drools at NUG BAZOOKA

[str898mustang]

Cant drool for it when it cost RL money to get a chance to get.

[biggabertha]

Hmmm.... What type of weapon will that Bazooka be..? Laser..?

Strange...

Those Twin Sabers look awesome - but if it's S rank... it doesn't feel too appealing for a Fighgunner to use or a FOrtefighter...

what can I say...? I'm addicted to speed ups from Acrofighter, Acrotecher and Fighmaster... >.>;

[Ffuzzy-Logik]

Yeah, it's a laser.

[Shadow Slayer]

WHat the heck is GC????????

[ashley50]

GameCube, Grand Cross...Guardian's Cash maybe?

[FOnewearl-Lina]

http://phantasystaruniverse.jp/news/wis/?mode=view&id=971
GC section of the main site updated, 3 new weapons added to the mission with this update.

-Morato Makinasu (Axe)
-Twin Disca (Twin Dagger)
-NUG2000 Bazooka (Laser Cannon...)

NUG2000 Bazooka Stats
1180 PP
881 ATP
20 ATA (not a typo...)
480 ATA to equip

If that axe they're adding is better than buti, that's gonna be a real kick in the pants to those who already spent GC to grind their butis to 10...

[landman]

But that axe is ugly compared to buti :wacko:

[Shou]

Is that sarcasm? That new axe looks 10 times better than the Buti.

[landman]

Where I live there is a saying: Opinions are like *censored*, everyone has theirs ^^

[Ceresa]

http://i97.photobucket.com/albums/l218/aerawnt/shippuugekka.jpg

Too bad I can't combine them and keep those elements...

Also 25% ice is pretty lame.

[Arika]

Still people can up it to 40% if they want.
but it doesn't seem worth :/

[str898mustang]

EDIT: nvm, saw the post Lina made. That axe is just barely over a 10/10 Buti and Rabol Buti combo

Ank Buti and Rabol Buti is 2140(1860 + 250 + 30(Rabol buti give 30atp boost))

http://www.psuxxx.info/uploader/src/up2761.jpg

[str898mustang]

ok WTF at S+10's dropping made??/

http://www.psuxxx.info/uploader/src/up2745.jpg

[Volcompat321]

S+10, made?! :o
I kinda like that idea.

[str898mustang]

S+10, made?! :o
I kinda like that idea.

it's a GC mission though

[Volcompat321]

Then I take my last post back.

[Ceresa]

S+10 are only 600k here...400k if you stocked up before the grind boost was revealed.

I'd rather have a Photon Drop...

[Volcompat321]

Wow, so cheap.
.....:(
Is it too late to start on the JP side....
I'd want to play on the PS3 though.
There JP back compatible Ps3's out there?

[Burnsro]

Alicia looks so fiiiine!

[FOnewearl-Lina]

Ank Buti and Rabol Buti is 2140(1860 + 250 + 30(Rabol buti give 30atp boost))
I wouldn't count that 30 ATP from the armor since you can wear anything else whilst you are using the Morat, such as Armasline.
Having an innate 2169 ATP beats having to switch Rabol Buti in every time you use jabroga (even if it is via shortcut), the set also won't build your SUV if you're playing a cast.

Buti may be a good substitute, but try telling the players that now. The price of buti boards has PLUMETTED!


Alicia looks so fiiiine!
Alicia ate some weird drug and became child form Alicia Silvers :P
They coexist on the same server.

Sorry but getting a 30%+ Buti to 10/10 >>>>>>>>>>> 30% Machinas to 10/10 .....Why? CUZ ITS FREE

[FOnewearl-Lina]

Not if you use GC to get it to 10/10...

The most popular mission right now according to Guardian's Information is the one where Morat drops... They're not listening.

There's no room for 2nd Place on the Elitist Servers!

[str898mustang]

I wont be using GC to grind any of my weapons.

[FOnewearl-Lina]

Then you wouldn't have even lasted long enough to get to this point, 40% weapons 10/10 are commonplace now, even without a grind boost.

Also, you forgot to factor in the fact that Full Custom Power only boosts weapon ATP. The gap widens...

I am very much aware of the FCP on 10/10 Weapons. I have plenty of 10/10 GM weapons and a couple 10/10 that are waiting for that attribute. Also, IF the PC/PS2 servers are around by the time GC gets here(Which I hope it doesn't), there wont be many 40% 10/10 weapons on our server. Maybe on 360. Not many people grind on PC/PS2 servers due to S+10's being 4.5mil a pop. Only time when PC/PS2 grind is mostly during a grind boost.


10/10 Ank Buti w/ lvl2 FCP and Rabol Buti = 2296atp

10/10 Machinas w/ lvl2 FCP = 2385atp

That's an 89 atp difference. definately not worth paying 5~10 bucks just for 89atp.

[Anon_Fire]

If GC were to come to the US/EU servers, I would test it and see how it works first.

Oh, and Morat Machinus looks really powerful.

[VectormanX]

Looks like a bigass can opener. I like :)

Sacred duster is pretty damned cool. Loves me some punchers. Too bad they 25% but its all good.

Glad they brought these back from PSO, was one of my favorite looking weapons
http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w8/x977/PSU/psu20090910_191801_022.jpg

It can freeze shit and has a sparkly effect. It's on now.

[Shou]

Wow almost 5000 HP :o

[milranduil]

Wow almost 5000 HP :o

Beast fF has 5k HP on US lol that's Beast WT I think though o_O

[VectormanX]

Yessir, she's a WT. I bought 2 lvls of HP+ but im regretting that because i should have gotten ragan's breath+ragan's force for +350 instead of +60. I can get it later, trying to get some other things for other classes ATM.

Nothing special, just the laser width difference in NUG and Adahna.

Also 160-165 variance on NUG vs 145 on Adahna. Not really any difference, would have been a nice bonus for NUG if it had a small one like Lazer Pannon...

[Arika]

How is the rarity of axe compare to Soul eater?
I guess it gonna be rarer right?

that Soul Eater only dropped once from my 3000 GC on first week.


btw, so that new cannon seem really suck. (both ata/range)

[Anon_Fire]

Meh, Tornado Dance doesn't seem useful after its mobility goes down.

[Dragwind]

It's a shame the NUG shot is thinner imo.

Interesting. Now, what about NUG's impact? PSO's version is a mid-size bomb/explosion.
Like this..
http://www.pso-world.com/images/items/nug5.jpg

[Ceresa]

Same impact as the Adahna!

[FOnewearl-Lina]

The missile, it disappers into thin air!

Oh and ST screwed up again and now they need a 4 hour maintenance to fix the damage reflection on Soul Eater/Banish and Regrants.
People were mad that it went from 2% to 10% as it kinda made gravity break unusable...
Also looks like Doranga got broken too, but it's not mentioned in the maintenance notes.


Not many people grind on PC/PS2 servers due to S+10's being 4.5mil a pop. Only time when PC/PS2 grind is mostly during a grind boost. Then you can imagine what will happen when S+10s start dropping made from that GC mission :D


That's an 89 atp difference. definately not worth paying 5~10 bucks just for 89atp.It's a 355 ATP difference, you can't rely on a set bonus that most people are unwilling to give up their SUV for. Especially when Buti isn't the only weapon in your palette and most people aren't even aware you can use shortcuts to change armor.
http://www.psuxxx.info/uploader/src/up2756.jpg
As for worth, population is pretty much dead now save for those maniac enough to pay hundreds of bucks worth of GC to hunt rares and grind weapons, so you can't gauge that against your own unwillingness to pay monies for rares. You'd think that more people would actually come back to take advantage of the 10% grind boost but they're prolly scared they'll fall into the trap of paying GC to repair broken grinds...

[Gen2000]

Pretty much what I expect to happen in the end. Not much motivation to even care for a 10% grind boost when the GC-Ballas still have access to some weapons better than yours even if you do grind one to 10.

The US/EU PC/PS2 servers don't even that much of a player pool like JPN servers to take a hit like that when GC hits here. 360 not looking too good nowadays either but they'll be ok for a while I think. It will be...interesting to say the least of what will happen when the time comes.

NEWS FLASH! NOT EVERYONE PLAYS A DAMN CAST

[FOnewearl-Lina]

NEWS FLASH! NOT EVERYONE PLAYS A DAMN CAST
http://phantasystaruniverse.jp/event/3rd_anniversary/report/index.html
Nope but the majority of them do at 31.2%, and MAJORITY RULES!
Megalodon V9.0 - M.Cast lvl160 GM20 < Apparently you do too :p

Whereas beast is the minority...
NOT EVERYONE PLAYS A DAMN BEAST.

I wubs me axe!

[str898mustang]

I'm talking about as a fighter. My cast is pure GM. The only fighting I do is a Protranser. No offense but I find pure melee boring as hell.

Cg on the axe btw

[Shou]

As do I. I feel sorry for people that only play FM.

[Anon_Fire]

There's something I'd like to know, Can GC-Weapons be fed to your PM? I mean, If it's not the element of the weapon you wanted.

Heck, Bardiche might be next on the list.

[str898mustang]

There's something I'd like to know, Can GC-Weapons be fed to your PM? I mean, If it's not the element of the weapon you wanted.

i dont see why. I fed the Preta thing to my PM

[Ceresa]

If it's not the element you want...

Pay 800 GC to change to what you want!

[str898mustang]

If it's not the element you want...

Pay 800 GC to change to what you want!

lol....

[Anon_Fire]

$8 sounds like a good deal to me :lol:

I'd be surprised if they announced "Magana Slayer" to the line-up

[Hiero_Glyph]

If it's not the element you want...

Pay 800 GC to change to what you want!

Does the weapon keep the % and grinds when you change elements?

[str898mustang]

im sure it does

[Ceresa]

Yeah it's all kept when you change.

[FOnewearl-Lina]

If it's not the element you want...

Pay 800 GC to change to what you want!
750, 800 is to add an element to a non-elemental

[Anon_Fire]

Even though I'd have to pay GC for it, I think it's kinda cool that you can change your weapons element.


Like this for example: If I synthesized an Agito Repca, and it came out at 48% Ground, I would go to "The Upgrade Device" and change it to 48% Light.

Is that what you mean, Ceresa?

Did a damage comparison between a 50% 10/10 ank buti and a 40% Machinas.
Before you say 'I told you so', not everybody has a set of 50% ank butis, so there :p

Machinas also seems to have less damage variance over Buti.

Props to ya for this comparison. I'm sure all the boosts and such widens gap even more than 89atp. Thank you for this comparison. I still wont pay real money for a weapon.

Edit: That is pretty small variance.

There is also a Weapon Style called Weapon Mastery that reduces the variance of weapons by 50%.

[AlphaDragoon]

Dear God...I hope the Gekka and Shippuu are just lower-level wussy versions of Gekkavijin/Shippuujinlai...if those are the actual PSU equivalents, then they nerfed the HELL out of them. Weaker than Apocalypse? Really...?

Wouldn't surprise if they did it though, since Sega loves to troll saber users.

[Anon_Fire]

Can someone demonstrate Morat Machinas w/ Anga Redda and Anga Jabroga in a video?
