JP PC/PS2 - Content update for July 1

[EspioKaos]

http://phantasystaruniverse.jp/news/wis/?mode=view&id=1172

Beginners Support Week
* This special event will run from July 1 through July 8, and will focus on two missions, Mad Creatures and Plains Overlord.
* The idea behind this event is to help out new players by giving them a bit of a boost in raising their characters. As such, this event will offer a special magnification percent to these two missions' EXP and MP payout. (EXP and MP boost items will stack with this bonus.)
* Also, special event characters will be on-hand to give out useful information to new players.

Adjusted missions
* The following missions will be adjusted to convert them from ver.1 to AOTI:
- Mad Creatures C-S2
- Plains Overlord C-S2

New mission difficulties
* Difficulty S3 will be added to the following missions:
- Mad Creatures
- Plains Overlord

New items
* New items will be added, including (but not limited to):
- Dragon Slayer (sword)
- Ragan Head (wand)
* A new gacha will be added to GC Shop which will include the following:
- Ethan Repca Coat (male clothes)
- Coco Hut (female clothes)
* Notice in the weapon pictures some other new clothes such as Hyuga Repca and Yoma-no Ribona.
* The Good Selection Gacha will be removed.
* Casino rotation.

Confirmed by 4Gamer's article, Vivienne Repca parts will also be released.

[Max B]

Nice.

[FOnewearl-Lina]

How many gachas does ST need lol?
What's worse is they're on rotation so you MUST BUY NOW!

[str898mustang]

Cant wait :)

[unicorn]

Nice! I hope the exp boost helps higher lvled characters too... My main is still in the 150s! I wanna cap him asap D:

[Red*]

wow, nice.

[Shou]

lol JP PSU is fucking awsome... I am never playing on english PS servers again... Unless, of course, they go with international servers.

edit: Lets hope there are lvl 175+ enemies in PO S3!!! :D:D:D:D:D:D I need scales and won't get bored as easily hunting them there.

[Leilla-chan]

yeah and another gatcha -.-

[Powder Keg]

[Aka]

Yet another update to keep PSU feeling fresh. Makes me wonder why I ever bothered with the english servers. About time Plain Overload got updated too. Always liked that mission.

[TenebriS]

yeah and another gatcha -.-

why so sad about gacha?
its totally awesome to get new gacha
(well this gacha has not really nice clothes for females)

[Leilla-chan]

well i do not like the idea of spending money and you do not even know what you get^^

[Aka]

And not everyone's filthy rich to spend huge amounts of money on GC.

[Shou]

Why spend money on gacha when you can buy the clothes in player shops?

JK i know the "best" female outfits are expensive. Lucky for me all the male clothes are dirt cheap.

[Leilla-chan]

yeah lucky you for your male char ;P

[Crysteon]

JK i know the "best" female outfits are expensive. Lucky for me all the male clothes are dirt cheap.

I can see Vivienne's Repca going for a stack and Curtz Repca going for 900k or much less, lawl.

Maybe Ethan's Repca would cost more than we think, but it's sure to say it will never beat the crazy prices for girls outfits (lolperverts).

[LP_Phoenix]

curtz? i have seen ethan and vivienne...is there every npc char clothes set? curtz would be interesting....a cast set thats not ugly imo....okay and chevalier fluge

[Crysteon]

curtz? i have seen ethan and vivienne...is there every npc char clothes set? curtz would be interesting....a cast set thats not ugly imo....okay and chevalier fluge

Curtz Repca is available on PSP2, and since most items that are going to be released on this gacha are NPCs replicas, I'm doing a wild guess that Male CASTs parts are gonna be from Curtz this time.

I'm still curious if Sega will release Emilia, Yuto, Ursula, Shizuru, Chelsea and Crouch Repcas as well. Only time can respond that D:

[TenebriS]

since you see the replicas at the private servers pictures from one of the updates you can be sure we will get em all

[Crysteon]

Yeah, I saw those pics already, but my question is more oriented to "when?" xD

[TenebriS]

hehe, hopefully soon xP
well one day they are out of clothes and have to give us them XD

[Karen Erra]

well i do not like the idea of spending money and you do not even know what you get^^

well no risk no fun, life's a game don't you think ^^

[FOnewearl-Lina]

Life's a game, except you only get one life...

[TenebriS]

One question, at the 4gamer website is a picture with Hal, is this a new mission?

[EspioKaos]

One question, at the 4gamer website is a picture with Hal, is this a new mission?
No, she's just there as one of the event NPCs that the official site mentioned. I figure she'll just dish out useful information to beginners and all. Probably just a selectable menu with basic Q&As.

[HienkyakuX]

looks weird compare to the old one http://www.pso-world.com/images/items/BB-DRAGON_SLAYER-ACTION-1.jpg

[Tyreek]

That's because they made two in PSP2. The one that looks like the actual Dragon Slayer is now Dilan Slayer. >.>;

[TenebriS]

thanks for the answer :3

[Arika]

* The Good Selection Gacha will be removed.

>>> so simply just remove? no more?

[Aka]

It's being replaced by a new gacha, with the new parts and clothes. Pretty sure it will be rotated back in some time in the future.

[Crysteon]

Let's guess the new name for this gacha :O :

Copyright Gacha
Replica Gacha
or maybe and most likely.....Summer Gacha

[Arika]

So instead of adding stuffs into old gacha, they make another one. Thus, there are 2 gacha shop now..


(altho I understand why they not add stuffs into old gacha instead. They simply not want people to keep getting old stuffs might wanting new one)

[Ryno]

ooh. i "gacha". haha! :P

[Arika]

Anyway, male clothes is not gonna worth much :D

[Shou]

Small favor to ask: Can someone who is staying up until the servers open please post how big the exp multiplyer is and the lvl of De Ragan on PO S3 so that when I wake up I can know if i should bother trying to get in a few runs before work or not? Thanks! :P

[milranduil]

Lazy ass lol. Stay up and lets duo it!

[Crysteon]

Lazy ass lol. Stay up and lets duo it!

[Shou]

[milranduil]

Maintenance extended lol.
http://phantasystaruniverse.jp/news/wis/?mode=view&id=1175

Also, new event announced. Looks like we'll have a kill counter per person if I'm reading it correctly.
http://phantasystaruniverse.jp/event/guardianschronicle/

[TenebriS]

Nooooooooooooooooooo D:

[Leilla-chan]

[Karen Erra]

[Leilla-chan]

[Resanoca]

So how long until we can get on? I read something about it being extended, but was lazy to see by how long.

[milranduil]

It said an extra 2 hours I believe. They said it should end at 19:00 JST which is 1.4 hours from now.

[Resanoca]

It said an extra 2 hours I believe. They said it should end at 19:00 JST which is 1.4 hours from now.
I'm sure this happened because you don't have work. ;<

[TenebriS]

I'm sure this happened because you don't have work. ;<

I'm sure too, its all your fault, but even tho i like ya :D

[TenebriS]

UPDATE IS READY GUYS, DOWNLOAD NOW!

[milranduil]

At 41% so far lolz.

[Karen Erra]

Gacha time =D

[Leilla-chan]

hmm i have seen the clothes on the official site and i have to say... not my style^^ ell lets see them on some chars of us^^

[milranduil]

.................................................. ......Huge dissapointment. Plains Overlord S3 has lvl 145 enemies with a Lv 150 De Ragan. Maybe dragon scale drops, but frankly I won't be running this more than a few times after release. Absolutely pathetic...at least it's a 2x EXP boost, so it's not bad, but I don't really need EXP...

[Lolitron]

I don't really need EXP...

It's not always about you you know :o!

Go help some |\|00Bz then.

[Leilla-chan]

ahh i hoped for higher lvl enemies and a higher exp boost >> well I hope can reach 175 within that event^^

well just played one msh it is not too bad at all! and better this way to bring s3 mishs then a GBR

[Angry_Ryudo]

Now in PO S at least, beef swords are dropped.

[Shou]

Over 90k exp every 6-7min :3

Thats better than MAX lol too bad about the dragon lvl though. I highly doubt scales drop from it.

[milranduil]

They still might. Fluge drops from 150+ Zoalgoug. But Heart of Devil doesn't drop from Onmagoug unless he's 175+. I'll let the JP people figure it out, and continue to get mine at Passports. In any case, the exp isn't bad I guess, but meh.
