Furthermore, the special items available from this mission will be moved to a newly established mission, the 'Security Department SPECIAL Exchange'.

Establishment of new Item Exchange mission:

Oh? So SEGA can still take the time to update PSU even though they are workng on PSP2 Hmm? ;)

[FOnewearl-Lina]

How much work could it possibly take to cut and paste together 1 mission?

[Noyo]

We getting this on the USA servers? or is it japan? x.x;;

obvs japan

[Dhylec]

Heh, Sega's cyber-enviro-friendly: e-redo, e-reuse & e-recycle. There is still a long way to omega. But, even that e-RRR updates sound more exciting than the ghost towns here. ;3

[Volcompat321]

I have nothing to say, other than to say I have nothing to say.

[FOnewearl-Lina]

lol
obvs japan
You'd think putting it twice in the topic title would have been enough...

[Noyo]

-.- I hate japan they get everything and what are we gonna get OMG party missons s2? So amesome ..

[Anon_Fire]

No announcement for the Party S2 Missions yet, and I believe we might not see this event..... probably Q3 or Q4 2010

[DAMASCUS]

-.- I hate japan they get everything and what are we gonna get OMG party missons s2? So amesome ..

What we DO have to look forward to in the next couple months is MAG+ and the colony GBR. MAG+ will be a bit iffy as it may not bring people back but the colony GBR is intense enough with some valuable(if familiar) drops.

[Ffuzzy-Logik]

-.- I hate japan they get everythingYeah I know man I can't wait to play with one weapon type for an entire month it's gonna be so dope, maybe even bitchin'.

[Neith]

Event full of restrictions that never mattered in the first place? Sounds awesome.

/sarcasm

[landman]

I want to see the contestants artworks :3

[FOnewearl-Lina]

You'll get a chance to see them when the website is updated.

Cry me a river^^; lol Why do people like you baww every time japan gets an up-date?Also you make it sound like the supplemental up-date is the holy grail that will save all of psu it actualy it is not it is still the same two mission seed express or white beast.
If you so not like this game with out up-dates then up-dates will not make a diffrence:chuck-ball:

[desturel]

The grass is always greener...

You do realize that they are still fighting the same bunch of monsters that you've fought hundreds of if not thousands of times. You aren't getting new monsters in these updates. You just get to fight them in a different order with a different arrangement.

I can't be only one who see what's wrong here.

[The_Brimada]

I can't be only one who see what's wrong here.

Yeah bitching over an event thats coming a second time, and bitching because they havent received a different event for a third time instead. Quite comical.

We pretty much will be fighting the same enemies over and over regardless, just higher levels eventually.

I agree with you soon all we will be doing is fighting monsters that are just a little but stronger but... why does this matter I would enjoy the game when I am, constantly spamming Seed Express. I do not know if there are people like me that actualy enjoy the game even if there is no updates. I hope I am not the only one:-o that does enjoy the game with out updates.

[Arika]

I always like JP drawing style :)

btw, it seem that magana breaker drop here :
http://www.psuxxx.info/uploader/src/up2860.jpg

a new head unit finally..
http://www.psuxxx.info/uploader/src/up2859.jpg

[FOnewearl-Lina]

What this update brings: A whole bunch of swords (or + versions if you count removing the seal from already existing weapons) that are actually weaker than stuff already available... Also a ton of room goods that rarely dropped from other party missions.

[str898mustang]

so whats the most used class for this event? GM and FM?


also what is this unit?

http://www.psuxxx.info/uploader/src/up2859.jpg

[Ceresa]

GM sucks. Mission sucks too.

100tp / 100 mst / 10% pp save on tech / faster cast

[str898mustang]

thanks

yeah I noticed the drops were pretty bad but one thing I do like about that event is the restrictions. Any word on any new drops/boards from the bosses?

[FOnewearl-Lina]

Everything that isn't MF sucks. Mission sucks too.
Fixed.

It's really painful watching other players running around with sabers and handguns...

[str898mustang]

So MF is the best class for the weapon restrricted part of the mission? O.o

[Ceresa]

The restrictions are why it sucks, it's completely random when and if you actually unlock something your type can equip. And even then it might be something crappy like laser on GM in a mission where 30 robots and Grinna spawn...one at a time.

There's no weapon restricted "part." It's the whole mission.

wow that pretty interesting. wish they had more events like this.


well the drops got finished on PSUpedia, nothing real spectacular. Interesting concept for the mission, drops are lame though.

[EspioKaos]

So, anyone else having this awesome problem where when you get to the boss warp, you get a quick glimpse of the De Ragnus intro video, and then the game goes into an infinite loading screen?

I'm 0 for 3 so far... haven't gotten to complete a single run yet because I can't get past that loading screen... >:|

[Ceresa]

Happens 50% of the time to me, and most of the importers. Seems fine for JP peoples though.

The other 50% I can beat Ragnus, then Alteras intro loads and then back to loading.

Your character is actually loaded into the arena though, I spammed attacks while it said now loading on C and it eventually cleared the mission...but that's not so hot on S3. If you leave it running you'll eventually die enough times and get booted to lobby, minus all your scapes.

[Shou]

Maybe you can spam resta durring the boss?

[milranduil]

GM sucks. Mission sucks too.

100tp / 100 mst / 10% pp save on tech / faster cast

How much faster cast? 200% or 300% or is it *gasp* more :o?


So MF is the best class for the weapon restrricted part of the mission? O.o

Can you really see Sabers and Handguns being prime DPS to compare to? lol

[Ceresa]

It's slower then har smart, faster then the b rank shit. Pushan 18 gi / 20 seconds with har, 16 / 20 seconds with Ouriyuu or whatever it's called. Losing the smartie range reduction hurts Ra techs pretty hard if you have attackrange+2 also. Soooooooo many stars though.

1000 amp to get it btw, it's pretty much a reward for logging on!

[Anon_Fire]

If you do this mission again, are the restrictions back on? or permanently removed?

[milranduil]

Hmm so it's like a 250% speed increase then or so. I wonder if it balances with the 100 added TP lol.

[Shou]

Pfft eff that. I don't want my ra techs shooting off into the distance.

[FOnewearl-Lina]

They're back, and you have to randomly unlock your equipment all over again.

I've had runs where I've had to use nothing but wands, but that sure beats sword or twin handguns only, especially in block 3 with all those exploding-take-half-damage-from-melee-bots.

And no range reduction really kills it for Ouriyuu, otherwise it'd be a nice unit...
