It would be cool if a new quick unit drops in Dancing Birds S3.

Yah o drops Hyakka

[Midori Oku]

Well thats not really new. >.>

[The Master eye]

Well thats not really new. >.>

did we realy need a new quick unit after ohryu ? :P

[str898mustang]

did we realy need a new quick unit after ohryu ? :P

yes so I can hunt it and sell it for millions!!! lol

[Midori Oku]

did we realy need a new quick unit after ohryu ? :P

Not really I just would think it would be funny because someone at Sega really likes to make fucked up drop charts to piss people off. Take Absolute Zero for example Orcdillan lvl 173 only two lvls away from dropping the Shiraha-zashi [B]. But yes I agree the Ohryu + Shijin = God. :)

[TheAstarion]

Ohryu is only a 2x casting speed right? I'd have thought the 9* quick & smarts would outperform it with their 3x casting speed, though I assume the 300TP bonus makes up for this even with a fully GAS'd Hamsterforce.

[Leilla-chan]

SO you could also say Mag++^^

[Crysteon]

Lol....this is so ironic. I told bobby yesterday about some kind of MAG++ event (most likely the addition of Mag' S3 soon)...and this update appears the next day. Wow, lol...I'm not impressed for the crappy content anyway >_>

[Leilla-chan]

Premonitons?:o

[unicorn]

I personally would love a new Quick unit!

[milranduil]

I personally would love a new Quick unit!

It would have to be either 3x and +250 TP or 2x and +300 TP to be better than Shijin combo lol.

[Leilla-chan]

I personally would love a new Quick unit!

For Techers or fore range weapons?

[TenebriS]

I guess he means for techer, a */quick S rank

[Darki]

I'd still go with Ohryu, being a WT the ATP bonus is heavenly.

[Crysteon]

Aw, c'mon guys...We want to see more 13*+ stuff dropping! Not just techer thingies >_>

[str898mustang]

Aw, c'mon guys...We want to see more 13*+ stuff dropping! Not just techer thingies >_>

YES!!! more 13*+ things that take 300+ runs to drop! lol

[Crysteon]

YES!!! more 13*+ things that take 300+ runs to drop! lol

You got me there ;_;

That's soooo meaaaaan, dooooood!

[milranduil]

YES!!! more 13*+ things that take 300+ runs to drop! lol

Why so the limit as x-> infinity of the function of items I get goes to zero where x is the number of runs I have to do? No thank you...

[Omega-z]

I had the thought why not a quick unit for melee or the lurmia/maintance......and MAG S3 I wonder what drops now lol.

[Darki]

Vijerina/Cronos. Gib that nao.

[str898mustang]

i have no idea what u just typed there.

[Crysteon]

i have no idea what u just typed there.

Basically, he said he has horrible luck when he's hunting stuff.

He runs infinitely and gets nothing in exchange...that's the same story for me, unfortunately.

[Darki]

Same here. I think all m luck karma dried out when I found my Red / Knight in old EU server. Since then, All I get in my drops has been a crapfest. D:

About the quick / unit for melee, I think my controller wouldn't survive an Acrofighter button-smash at that speed. xD

It would not survive when the item drop and you do not get it in the party too... smashing controller on the table :i

[Darki]

I only smash the controller on the table when a bunch of fire Vahras kill me 5 times in a row with Foie in my n00b state trying Plains Overlord/R. xD

I don't play with randoms anymore since that would mean to go with japanese people, and I lways play with my girlfriend, so if something drops we can share it when needed. When I play with other friends, we always get in good terms who takes the item.

[Omega-z]

Hey Darki If you need help with PO/R the vahra's aren't a too much a problem for me, can take them out and leave the rest up to you two. I even S rank that mission with a Lv1 hunter class O.o

[Darki]

Don't worry, it was thatmoment thatt I was tryig to kill them with techs and they decided to shot fireballs non stop. xD

[str898mustang]

is it possible that MAG S3 will have lvl185+ enemies? (or 190? >_> )

[Leilla-chan]

is it possible that MAG S3 will have lvl185+ enemies? (or 190? >_> )

SEGAC: Nothing is possible...
well I think that would be too high for an permanent mission. I think they wil save that for the next Event. Do noz forget that are only 2 special weeks no event ;D The event will come in 2 weeks:;D(hope so)

bah, there goes the chance of something actually challenging.

[Crysteon]

For what? it's gonna be shit anyway, lol.

[str898mustang]

gonna be running it alot, i got two (maybe 4) chars to level up.

[Crysteon]

Oh, for that...lol. I'd rather wait for a real event D:

[str898mustang]

Oh, for that...lol. I'd rather wait for a real event D:

a real event will have new awesome items! I'd rather lvl my noobs in an event that doesn't have new drops and actually use my capped char to hunt new items in a REAL event

[Leilla-chan]

a real event will have new awesome items! I'd rather lvl my noobs in an event that doesn't have new drops and actually use my capped char to hunt new items in a REAL event

But when you do many many many many runs while lvling you could also get good items in an Event ;) Mag s3 and Dancing birds will habe new items thats for sure it is just the question if they are useful ;)

[indescribably]

I think I'll check the uploader for any posted drops before I do any spamming of such mission. But, yes, I agree with you Leilla that there will be new drops to the mission, the only question is that are they going to be worth the hunt? Lol, probably not. w.

[XbikXBd]

ill try to spam to 180 before event lolz

[Leilla-chan]

Hmm so ppl does mag+ really have EXP boost? for me thats normal exp for lvl 180 enemies..

[TenebriS]

it does, i did yesterday with karen and ryno and amai, and the EXP was boosted, maybe you just used to events? :P

[Leilla-chan]

That could be it but the Exp is not that good for 180 enemies got more in Mad Beasts s3. But the mish is cool with a good party you ran through it and tons of enemies ;D

Thanks for the answer Tene

[psu000]

seems to me that the EXP boost only applies to S3. Killing a Rappy Polec (lv80) in A Rank is +291 EXP before any EXP boost and it's still the same right now.

[Karen Erra]

The EXP boost might be slightly, but there is one. I don't think I could make 5-7 level with a lowie in a run MAG if there would be just the standard EXP. I didnt expect much more of boost since its no real event; just a week-based boost-event.

[psu000]

Say if someone actually update the EXP on psupedia, it should look different to Amesani, which haven't had any update since Distant memory is released.

But right now both website are showing the same EXP for killing a Rappy Polec on A rank (+291). So it's not giving any boost doing Dancing bird A.

With the same enemy, S3 Polec gives +868 EXP right now and it is suppose to be +579EXP for a lv175 at Subspace. So there is a boost on S3 but not on A.

[Darki]

On a side note, the new Dancing Birds mission path are CRAP. I love the thing about the healing/trap mushrooms, but the black smoke things instead of the... more natural smoke traps that were before, and all those plants hanging there in the fucking middle of EVERY open area just killed the mission for me. I don't know, but it looks really messy, like if they just oppened the habirao mushroom forest map data and just throwed the stuff randomly there....

[TenebriS]

lol, all they really did is transform PSU dancing birds in PSPo2 one, thats all.

Not messed up, just other game xD

i figured the exp boost wasn't there for lower ranks.

[psu000]

so have they done something wrong with the update or just simply no EXP boost apart from S3? I thought they apply EXP boost to The Mad Beast all rank last time.

Then, sir, PSPo2's Dancing birds sucks. I'm not usually on the "modernity sucks" train but the new missions looks like if they put the plant decorations with the ass instead of the fingers while typing.

Lol...I tried it a few times and the first thing I said was: what the hell with all the bushy crap?, then I logged out of boredom.

They are running out of ideas, seriously..........

[psu000]

Correction:

There is a boost on all rank. Check the EXP again and the boost is more noticable when u play at higher rank (i.e. S2 and S3) . On A rank , Polec suppose to give +194 EXP, not +291EXP. so everything is normal.


Not sure about PA boost.

[TenebriS]

oh PA boost works pretty good on both, well, for sure on MAG, but a friend told em she got a tech from 20-25 in one run dancing birds, and thats pretty nice for one run :3

to MAG i just know that skills level really fast so there im sure, didnt try yet with technics or bullets xD

[str898mustang]

Found the stats for 10/10 Lanzanata 902 ATP 818PP down right the best non-GC spear in the game.

Oh wait....soooo....that giant toothpick is more efficient than Stingers now? lol

800ish PP for a non-GC spear is a big insult, lol.

Sooo the 16th is soon, where is our next event?;D

[EspioKaos]

No maintenance this week, but next week's maintenance has been pushed forward to December 21. That's the exact date of PSO's 10th anniversary, so I take that as a pretty solid hint that our event will kick off then. Hopefully they'll put some update notes on the site for it soon.

Also, the current Winter Special Week has been extended through December 21.

Ahh thanks for the fast answer ;D

[Crysteon]

I thought they moved the 23th maintenance for holidays or some short vacation period. And, to be honest, I dont really expect a great thing from the 10th anniversary stuff, perhaps a revamp of all 4 PSO missions (4 event missions resembling each stage pretty much, or just another MAG++ event, lol)

[unicorn]

Would love PSO Ep2 stages. But wont happen.
