I'd like to see random NATURAL DISASTERS.

But I doubt we'd see anything that extreme. I can still dream!

- The Vol Brothers (or similar characters) show up out of nowhere to ruin your day, possibly stealing items that are still on the ground, etc.
- Rare monster spawns, like Hildeblues, etc.
- Fat Rappy randomly falls out of the sky, dealing damage to enemies; chance of dropping rare items if you manage to hit it enough times before it flies back off
- Kireek (or similar characters) challenge you to a very difficult fight, with good rewards if you win, but no penalty if you lose
- protect a random NPC from monsters
- a dangerous meteor shower or similar natural disaster occurs, making fights/navigating more difficult and/or increasing the chances of certain rare monster spawns
- a boss monster shows up randomly as a normal enemy and fights/interacts with other enemies
- Cake Shop that sells unique/rare items
- random NPC's (such as Ash, Ethan, etc.) appear and fight alongside you, possibly give you rare items if you do well enough to impress them

Ooh, I just thought of another one:

Y'know the rare missions in PSU that are throwbacks to old PSO areas, and how they were supposedly "time rifts" or something like that? Perhaps you could actually see such a rift of sorts open up into a level, and take you into a similar area. Either another level that was in one of the old games (props if they somehow make the graphics look EXACTLY like it, even something like the 16-bit Classic PS games for nostalgia value), or some surreal/acid-trippy as fuck area (think along the lines of some of the Final Fantasy last dungeons, or Giygas from Earthbound), like if Dark Falz randomly showed up out of nowhere and absorbed your party, and you would have to find your way out before he "assimilates" you... possibly get something like a Parasitic Gene Flow out of it if you're successful, or even run into a ghost of Red Ring Rico inside (one of Falz's memories or something) and if you're VERY lucky, get her Red Ring. Hell, they could even throw in plot devices while you're trying to navigate these areas, to connect all the games somehow. I think that'd be cool. :)

This made me lol. Perhaps when they celebrate Sonic's birthday again? I think it'd be hilarious if you actually had to chase down Dr. Eggman in his little flying ship and shoot his ass down. XD Wasn't there some sort of Eggman-themed gun in one of the old PSO games online at some point? Heck, that could be a rare item they bring back!

Y'know, now that I think about it, if they really go through with these sort of random instances in missions, they could add a lot of seasonal and event-related stuff. Hopefully they'd make it a bit more exciting than, "oh look, a seasonal Rappy spawn, kill em and get some Christmas trees for your room." Not to say that I wouldn't want rare enemy spawns, but I think they could spice it up a bit somehow.

Central Dome Fire Swirl? Yes please.

And I think the "natural disaster" kind of effect might be nice. Little extra challenge. You might have to deal with powerful winds changing direction, making it harder to use melee. Maybe fog will move in, making ranged weapons less accurate at any range except point blank. Or you might have to deal with a snowstorm that randomly inflicts freeze on you. Possibly a heat haze that gradually decreases your HP until it passes.

EDIT: I left out one that wouldn't be friendly to techers...How about an energy field that gives all your techs a chance of having Reflect lv1 taking effect?

Apr 27, 2011, 03:58 PM

If they're natural disasters, they're not going to be filled with cuddly kittens and powerups.

Seriously, it's not that bad.

Winds that only slightly push you. It won't affect you much.
The accuracy of guns wouldn't go down to something around 25 or anything. It'd be more like a +5% chance the enemy would block your shot, that's all.
Truthfully, how bad has freeze been? Provided they keep the Status/Resist units, you could just equip Freeze/Resist, yes? And in PSO, you really only had to spam A&D / Control stick to unfreeze in about two seconds.
The heat haze effect isn't any worse than poison, burn or infect.
Techers getting hit with Reflect lv1? Resta. Problem solved.

NoiseHERO
Apr 27, 2011, 04:11 PM
Power Rangers are not obnoxious, shuddup! D<

What I don't want is people relying on it to make up their own short missions to get rares easily. :\

Then nobody would play the rest of the game and just make up crappy missions to replace PSO's TTF and PSU'S White Beast.

SEGA will take care of that one for us, I'm sure.

I will not be surprised, not at all, if once they've done a few updates, they add an event that's like TTF. Then the events missions lose certain effects (EXP boost and such) but they stick around.

Oh wait, that already happened. Max Attack G, right?

Vashyron

Hopefully if missions are as "random" (Hoping these include spawns as well as layouts, maybe bosses too.) as they say they are, then hopefully no repeat's of TTF or White Beast.

Frustrated by things that may be normal in the game anyway?

Getting frozen isn't too common, but it happens.
So you get poisoned. You slog through it. It'll be fine.
Techers get hit just like everyone else.
Enemies always have a chance to block your attacks, unless it's a tech. Then it generally can't be blocked. +5% chance? Is that really going to make a difference?

The only one that isn't a general part of the game in the first place is wind. The closest I can come with that is PSO:BB's sand pits in Sub Desert.

EDIT: And no, I don't like frustration. Frustration is a negative feeling, so I don't think anybody would like it.
