[AnonymousHat00]

[oG Epik]

i will take my 140 cast to 180! and maybe even my beast to 150 or maybe even 180 lol god ive been waiting for this

[BIG OLAF]

I can honestly say I wasn't expecting this. Not complaining, though. I can use Epsilon to level my techer until Zeta comes out, which is when I'll have to get down to business hunting some rares.

[Vintasticvin]

Nice, thanks a bunch Espio and so looking foward in joining in my first 360 event mission with y'all :D

[oG Epik]

Only reason i like the second one is all the bosses+No restrictions

[Asking Alexandria]

Thank goodness!!

[Messy]

I Actualy Cant Wait For This xD Hope to see some of u guys there ^^

[dias_flac_0g]

Awesome :)

I hope we get a big EXP boost ^_^

[Amaury]

Awesome :)

I hope we get a big EXP boost ^_^

All events have a 200% or 250% boost to EXP and drop rates, so don't worry. :)

[Midori Oku]

Pretty sure Espio said that
ε will have 2.5x exp boost
ζ will have 1.5 due to all the bosses and enemies etc

That is correct! :)

[oG Epik]

Will it be easy to find a Final Impact

[Nereid]

They will be easy enough that they will probably be about a stack or a bit more at 0/10.

[oG Epik]

How much are 10/10's going for cause i need 1

[Nereid]

Nobody will know until they are made and sold.

[oG Epik]

Well then i guess i will have to wait til im rich from the 2nd part of the mission lol!

[BIG OLAF]

All I know is that I've gotten all stocked up on Meteoric Metal for the Twin Falclaw boards. I hope that the Genfu Sealed is easy to obtain, though.

[oG Epik]

im so glad about that cause i like claws but only 25% for falclaws Nty lol how much is Meteoric metal i wanna make a pallet

[BIG OLAF]

im so glad about that cause i like claws but only 25% for falclaws Nty lol how much is Meteoric metal i wanna make a pallet

Right now Meteoric Metal is 20K. Prices may very well go up, though, once people find out about it's usage.

[Fasfa]

All I know is that I've gotten all stocked up on Meteoric Metal for the Twin Falclaw boards. I hope that the Genfu Sealed is easy to obtain, though.

I can't wait till we get these [b]s but all I want is a pair of 50% light thats it!!!!!!

Also, OMG I almost forgot now I can get
Black Meteora (http://psupedia.info/Black_Meteora)

I doubt it... Since there is already a bunch of secret actions you have to perform just to get to the boxes that MAY drop it...lol

[oG Epik]

Does anyone have school off on friday( if you even go to school still)

[Amaury]

Does anyone have school off on friday( if you even go to school still)

What's that have to do with anything?

[NyCMoStHaTeD]

does the RSD update mean the ares espada?

[BIG OLAF]

does the RSD update mean the ares espada?

Yes. Ares Espada (and other things) will be implemented.

[GBshooter]

Yes. Ares Espada (and other things) will be implemented.

sweetness..... i will love that SUV

[_Snoopy_]

i cant w8 my 167 beast will hit 180 np xD not to forget about the new shotgunthe final impact badass!!!!!

[BIG OLAF]

i cant w8 my 167 beast will hit 180 np xD not to forget about the new shotgunthe final impact badass!!!!!

Yes, the Final Impact will be making Spread Needles mostly obsolete...

...unless you have a problem with ungodly low accuracy, and using a Photon Charge every 2 minutes.

[oG Epik]

Thats what a cati / bullet save is for lol or Lkk so you kill everything faster...

[str898mustang]

Thats what a cati / bullet save is for lol or Lkk so you kill everything faster...

Spread Needle + LKK > Final Impact

Final Impact: u better be a cast GM or u'll miss quite often unless u shoot from the back.

[oG Epik]

i am cast lol and 20Gm lol

[XbikXBd]

lol if memory serves FI will go down to 40-30mill for a 0/10 once Zeta comes out at least that was true for the JP servers and mind you we had GC by then.

[Ishia]

There are more people on JP though, so you have to consider that. A 0/10 FI may go for 80-120mil here at their lowest.

[_Snoopy_]

i agree low accuracy sucks, but attack power is epic!

[Crysteon]

If you guys dont mind the variance, I guess it will be the best Shotgun for ya in a while...hmmm......

[Nereid]

Should be the best basically until you gt Kevlar Set.

[oG Epik]

i think dont we will be getting Kevlar soon... But ima so excited for Ares Espada lol gonna make me happy im still a cast

[Ishia]

Saber + Handgun combo for Guntecher? Ouch, they can only get their striking PAs to LV10.

[oG Epik]

BD told me there something you can do in this mission to change your weps or something plus i dont think anyone will be playing with anything other than master classes til the 2nd part

[Fasfa]

You can add certain weapons during the mission but you only get a certain amout.

[AnonymousHat00]

The second mission that's coming out mid event is frggin ridiculous.

There are so many things that are going to go down in price. not lo mention the exp is above Godly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[oG Epik]

second missions exp boost is 1.5 i think they said earlier instead of 2.5

[BIG OLAF]

second missions exp boost is 1.5 i think they said earlier instead of 2.5

Epsilon (first mission) is 2.5, and Zeta (second mission) is 1.5.

[_Snoopy_]

so wait the exp boost drops between the 2 missions *sad face* :-(

[Ishia]

so wait the exp boost drops between the 2 missions *sad face* :-(

Zeta has shit-tons of enemies and bosses that makes up for the x1.5 boost.

[oG Epik]

does anyone know a specific time when event will be ready to play?

[Ishia]

does anyone know a specific time when event will be ready to play?

There has never been a set time. They're up when they're ready. Welcome to 2006.

[oG Epik]

Lol do u thin before 6am?

[BIG OLAF]

It's usually about 7:00 AM EST.

Usually.

[XbikXBd]

6 Cen., 7 EST.

[oG Epik]

well i guess i will go to sleep tonite lol

[Ishia]

Except that it could be later, or sooner. No definite set time.

[XbikXBd]

espada is broken

[Linka]

hey. so, yeah. servers are up, obviously. which begs the question. anyone wanna do runs with me? ive been doing c runs, getting a feel for the mission, and i wanna do some B's now, then some A's. *Weeps at being only level 68. hopes to be 100 by mission's end.*

oh, btw, those 3 sealed swords? droppable in the first Protectors mission.

got haktora Sealed from a C run. i suspect B's give Shuzak Sealed, and Aoryu Sealed on A. Genfu Sealed possibly on S? i dunno. cant do S runs. anyone wanna check?

[Ishia]

got haktora Sealed from a C run. i suspect B's give Shuzak Sealed, and Aoryu Sealed on A. Genfu Sealed possibly on S? i dunno. cant do S runs. anyone wanna check?

I'm pretty sure all 4 sealed swords can drop from the special boxes on any difficulty.

[R2D6battlebot]

Any chance you have an idea on how to get those special boxes?

[HienkyakuX]

where's the damn blue light in the third room in block 3 for the secret action?! agh!

[Ishia]

where's the damn blue light in the third room in block 3 for the secret action?! agh!

In the water, past the floor-switch next to the water.

[Linka]

In the water, past the floor-switch next to the water.

well, i couldnt see it at all. do both switches have to stay pressed for it to appear? or can two people run the mission and get it?

[Ishia]

Yes they need to be. The Secret Action is only possible with at least 3 people.

[GeoSword]

Did they say what new items are going to be implemented?

[wmbadexter2]

This event is an impossible task to accomplish alone!

It has been very hard for me to obtain any benefit from this event so far. It simply cannot be accomplished alone. Two players cannot accomplish it either. You need at least three players to maybe get that secret mission. At this rate, I'm getting very irritated with this event to the point of unsubscribing to the whole thing. Sega needs to start thinking better when it comes to achieving certain goals in this game. We have to overcome the following to kind of get a chance to a Genfu Sealed or Final Impact:

-Handicaps (which I don't mind them)
-Chance (this is unfair - if in VR1, the bomb is not defused, there goes the whole!)
-Players participation/knowledge (You cannot join in and nobody wants to be recruited.) I'm not part of a frat or clan. Most players are reluctant to join you, if you asked them to join your party--maybe thinking you're psycho of some sort)

What's going on here? Please advice.

Just because you can't do it, doesn't mean others can't. I can get a S rank with a partner and there are some people who can get a S rank while soloing.

[PSO God/Ability]

i can get an S on my Masterforce, so can most good MF's. possible as other types, harder due to robots.

[Justyn_Darkcrest]

I rarely run this event with more than 3 people, most commonly it's me and one other and we still get an S with a couple minutes to spare even with full runs, so yes it's possible.

[BIG OLAF]

Yes they need to be. The Secret Action is only possible with at least 3 people.

The Secret Action in the 2nd block can be accomplished with two people, but at least one of the two players must be a Masterforce with a Lumira/Spread, and must cast Diga down into the water to hit the 3rd "orb" whilst standing on the button.

You knew this.

Oh hi. I made that post on 3/25/11, before I knew.

You don't need a Lumira/Spread.

[BIG OLAF]

You don't need a Lumira/Spread.

'Kay.

YEAH ELLIOT EVEN SAID SO NUMEROUS TIMES.

You knew this.

[BIG OLAF]

YEAH ELLIOT EVEN SAID SO NUMEROUS TIMES.

Uh huh.

[wmbadexter2]

I guess asking for advice from some players is to expect a smart answer from some of you. Ishia if you didn't have a constructive response to my comment (MY COMMENT!!!!), why didn't you just mind your own business? You stated before that it takes three players to get the secret mission. I'm not after getting an "S" rank. If you read correctly, I want to get the weapons. Let me reiterate that I'm not part of a frat or clan. So far, unless I hook up with other players, getting the Genfu Sealed and the Final Impact is out of the question. Therefore, why should I keep trying getting by mysel? I can beat the mission. That's not my problem. Why didn't you offer a way to get the weapons?

That post was from like 3 weeks ago, when the event first came out, the DAY it came out. I didn't know about the little quirks of it until a few days after. Also, YOU are the one complaining "THIS MISSION IS IMPOSSIBLE TO COMPLETE WITH 1-2 PEOPLE BAW." I wasn't even being a smartass about it too, shockingly. Its not that hard.

What's going on here? Please advice.

First off, the whole point of events is to get the community together (at least in my eyes) and run a different type of mission that we normally do not see, which is exactly what this event is.

Saying that Sega should make events easier so that the handful of players that only ever solo is just childish.

2nd, technically you can solo it with the secret action. Likely? No. But impossible?
Technically no but reasonably yes, solution? Find one other person and do it with 2 ppl (Yes it's possible as has been detailed previously) And btw it only takes about 1-2 minutes to get to the bomb, so that shouldn't be a mojor issue.

I'm not a member of any clan/guild either but have had no issues finding ppl willing to run with, even when my friends aren't on. Try running with some random groups for awhile until you run into someone who's willing to hunt these items with you.


Ishia, I'm afraid you need to get some Sylvan lessons in English comprehension. I said in my title that the MISSION IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DO IT ALONE. I don't need jackasses like you to tell me to stop sucking. I WANT TO GET THE WEAPONS. I CAN FINISH THE MISSION JUST FINE. I DON'T CARE ABOUT GETTING AN "S" RANK. SO, IF YOU OR ANYBODY ELSE DON'T HAVE A SIMPLE EXPLANATION TO MY COMMENT, PLEASE DO NOT RESPOND TO MY POSTS. (PERIOD).

Your original post did not explain very clearly that you did not care about finishing with an S rank, thus some of the confusion. Your original post was more of a rant than asking anything, we're just trying to be helpful.

[wmbadexter2]

Thank you, Justyn__Darkcrest. I'll try as you suggested.

[Kman]

cant wait to run this =)

[wmbadexter2]

Ok, let me start off with a new approach.

First of all I'd like to apologize to anyone that I unintentionally may have offended or alienated with some of my rants/posts.

I need help with this mission!!!

In other words, I am asking for some players to join me or let me join them to do many runs before the event is over. My character player's name is Omega ID. It is a cast level 154. It is also a class level 20 as Protranser/Fortefighter/Fortegunner. I'm currently leveling up as a Gunmaster. It is level 12 on that one. Can someone please respond? Thank you in advance for any kind replies.
