[str898mustang]

Go to Espio's post (it's two post down)

[GCoffee]

As usual balancing by making EVERYONE better but NOBODY worse. Seriously? How about buffing those enemies for once or something at least?

It will be interesting to see the new technics.

Sa- doesn't look very impressive. It's looks like ra except as a sphere. Does it hit multiple points on its own?

If they want to buff ranger types, they should just give them explosive rounds.

[Selphea]

I think the Sa-techs might be a game-changer for techers actually o.o They're slow-moving, persistent AoEs, so they may not hit multiple points, but they do hit the same target multiple times. They can also hit a target while the techer is doing something else. Think of them as mini EX-traps.

Sazonde in particular looks interesting because it launches. Imagine a Guntecher using Sazonde to juggle a pair of Magashis, then using cards to take them out while they're being bounced up and down, or an Acrotecher using Sazonde on a SEED-Vitace to keep it stunlocked so it doesn't do that annoying Jellen spin, then finishing it with Hikai.

[Nel]

laser needs to get twice as strong

[EspioKaos]

On the Sa-series of TECHNICs, I feel I should point out that they will differ from how they worked in Infinity. This was pointed out last week in the official JP PSU Twitter feed (you can read about it here: http://forum.psupedia.info/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=1573). No specifics were given, but maybe another tweet will come across before this update hits to let us know how they'll work.

[HienkyakuX]

cuz I like people to know about it as early as possible? I didn't know Espio was gonna post soo soon after me. Stop being so anal about it

in that case edit OP or avoid doing it at all... reminds me of Amaury

[gundam0079]

well i like that fact that mustang tried. its all good.

[Selphea]

Looks to me like a question of speed vs. quality. The update is a week away though - think about it in numeric terms - 164 hours in advance vs 163 hours in advance. I don't think it makes a big difference. Not to mention the majority of "people" you are referring to seem to prefer quality as well, and the ones who do want to know ASAP can use Google Translate themselves. I'd really suggest saving yourself the effort.

Btw,


Happy now?

Not really, your URL is broken =p

[johnjacob]

Amaury v1.5

[Shou]

Amaury :wacko:

[johnjacob]

ok yall can drop it now.....

If you are going to post a terrible translation (probably used google translate) why bother posting? You know Espio can give a 99% accurate translation, just leave it to people who know the language. Also, stop being so upset we are just giving you a suggestion.

Edit: Wow did not think you would get so upset even Amaury doesn't. You even deleted all your posts and your original post that is quite epic.

[DeltaViolet+]

If it bothers you that much then do it yourself, sorry but complaining about someone translating it for you is just plain stupid.

[Illuminate]

Complaining about posts on a forum in general is pathetic.

[str898mustang]

great.....they're running late on the maintenance and it wont be up till 5:30am (central) >.<

I'll be at work already....

Looking at the small screenshots on the official site, it looks like all the Sa-techs may be more like Samegid was in Infinity.

[Vent]

Don't feel like posting screenshots, so here's what you need for the new techs in text.

Sa-Barta: 1 x Blank Disc, 30 x Rayspheres
Sa-Zonde: 1 x Blank Disc, 30 x Zonspheres, 1 x Nos-Zonde
Sa-Megid: 1 x Blank Disc, 30 x Megispheres, 1 x Megid, 1 x Nos-Megid

EDIT:
Well I'm on free course and only were able to get Sa-megid. It's a stationary orb that doesn't seem to do any damage (not even 1s popping up) only has the confuse status effect. In fact, it doesn't even have a damage modifier! You only gain exp on it is if it manages to inflict the confuse status (Confuse Lv. 2 at level 1).

[redroses]

<_< Just got Sabarta and it also does no damage...just might freeze enemies. I don't even know what to say to this bullshit.

Edit: And if I am not mistaken I think it was possible to cast more than one Sa technic at a time if you casted fast enough. But from what it looked like as soon as you recast Sabarta the other one disappears.

If you took part in the last event (Chronicle 3rd) you can exchange your points for Ray/Zonspheres =)

[str898mustang]

Anyone know what the the material/weapon is that requires the 99 materials and such?

[Positive]

S rank EDIT: yohmei armor requires the super mat.

[Positive]

Oh good. I don't have to get it. Now I can focus on getting 20k amp for the armor. :roll:

[str898mustang]

So whats the required items for the armor?

[Selphea]

...there's an armor?

[Positive]

99 each of Gachnium, Paural, Gurtite. 45 Chronoseline. 3 of the new weapons with the special characters on them. EDIT: The sword, bow and axe.

There's also a body unit that requires evil curst, vijeri/resist, megisphere, and rykros eye. Probably a set with the new armor.

[str898mustang]

any new units? (I'm stuck here at work)

nvm....a vijeri/resist...are they crazy???

[Shou]

Samegid will be a bitch to lvl.
I will be afk lvling sabarta while i sleep.

[str898mustang]

Specs on the new body unit?

[Positive]

Sabarta actually gets worse at 11. At 1-10 it can hit like an aoe, 11+ can barely hit anything unless they form a line.

[Positive]

Someone with the armor: http://www.psuxxx.info/uploader/src/up9171.jpg
Armor was actually yohmei. I got it confused since I was looking at the -line part.

[DeltaViolet+]

Someone sell me a Rykros eye! :D

[str898mustang]

Someone sell me a Rykros eye! :D

Go hunt your own! lol

what does the unit do?

[cristfc]

hope that this new unit nullify instant death? :-?

[DeltaViolet+]

Go hunt your own! lol

what does the unit do?

No idea :P

That mission is soo boring! Sell me it :D

[EspioKaos]

Makarukaheshi maintains Vijeri / Resist's incapacitation nullification. I've updated our article on it with data that was just added to JP wiki.

http://psupedia.info/Makarukaheshi

Also, here are the articles I put together for the other new things added in this update:

http://psupedia.info/Lost_Breaker (Dan filled in pretty much everything here already. Sell price and PP regen values -- and variance if anyone wants to calculate it -- are all that's missing.)
http://psupedia.info/Gale_Bringer
http://psupedia.info/Ryukoh
http://psupedia.info/Tamahagane
http://psupedia.info/Sabarta
http://psupedia.info/Sazonde
http://psupedia.info/Samegid

If anyone has info they can add, please feel free to do so. Or if you don't want to mess with wiki editing, just post your info here and I'll take care of it. Thanks!

[Red*]

omg the new Special exchange 3rd Updates are Craazy...........
i want 6 of this armors D: (lets start the endless boredom)

And btw. The first time i will be happy to see only Materials after a cleared Mission D:
hmm.. Chronoseline: 120 AMP at the exchange.. 6x45=270 // 270x120AMP=32400AMP \(x.x)/

[Nel]

does anyone know anything about any set bonuses?? :D
http://www.psuxxx.info/uploader/src/up9173.jpg
explain plz

edit: the bullet boosts are a joke... zoom is also a joke.. well.. better than nothing

[Omega-z]

Nel, I guessing that the new armor has 50 atp more to do 10 dmg more compared to the shijin, But it's to early to tell if it's all round better or not and we don't know if the person was using it with the unit or not. We need more info.

Now do a damage test between that and Shijin.....Shijin still on top in my book

[Crysteon]

Meh...I'd prefer to sell the mats rather than doing that vain armor, lol. +50ATP is a joke.

[str898mustang]

Meh...I'd prefer to sell the mats rather than doing that vain armor, lol. +50ATP is a joke.

True.......to get one armor....it's almost 600 Ohtori C runs.

[Omega-z]

Agreed, watch the Armor and unit has a Set to allow you to do Dmg with the Sa-Spell lol and watch it be super OP too. lol

But realistically other then the two weapons everything else looks like a epic fail to me. But we will wait to see what it has first then trash them or go bonkers over those items.

[Crysteon]

So, you dont deal damage with Sa- techs? D: Bad move, Sega....people will bitch badly.

[johnjacob]

They will come out will Sa-tech limit break and it will be op. Or they will re balance it and it will be op. Everything is leading to things being op.

[Omega-z]

lol the funny thing is even with Evil Crust the SE rate on Sa - Barta is worse then Gi - Barta. O.O not good at all......some one pinch me I must be dreaming ...... We Got new spells that are like are firework traps just for show but less pretty. :(

Man, they could of gave the Sa-megoo pie the ability to do Virus instead of confusion At least then there could of been one that did Dmg thru SE effect. lool a Multi - Debuffer or something.:-?

[DeltaViolet+]

The Ryukoh ( new armor ) Combos with the Makarukaheshi (body unit)

Although its only 50att more for fighters, so for Masterforce you use the body slot instead of the head slot so it free's the head slot space so you can add the feril / force as the head unit instead. Which means this beats the shijin by a very nice amount. Not to meantion the feril / force casts faster :D

so whats the boost?

[DeltaViolet+]

so whats the boost?

Ill do some tests quickly :)

EDIT: Using grants ( my tech isnt 50 and im not gased)

Shijin Combo : 5482
Ryukoh Combo + Feril / Force + casting faster : 5703

=221 tech more than shijin LOL
=158 OFF element
Plus you cast faster with Feril / Force

[str898mustang]

Ill do some tests quickly :)

hurry! I may have to grind Ohtori C for a looooong time.

[DeltaViolet+]

Look up :)

[Shou]

No resist units = fail (for most missions)

[str898mustang]

Look up :)

hm.....well time to spam C ohtori :(

[DeltaViolet+]

It is a resist unit, but you would be using it in near all dark missions, also outside of that i mean you don't always need a resist unit lol

[str898mustang]

It is a resist unit, but you would be using it in near all dark missions, also outside of that i mean you don't always need a resist unit lol

I use freeze/resist most of the time in dark missions (get 21 Sta from lvl3STA and Hizeri)

You're gonna need a sleep/freeze/silence resist still which nullifies the boost...yeah forgot about stun/resist.

[Shou]

It is a resist unit, but you would be using it in near all dark missions, also outside of that i mean you don't always need a resist unit lol
(as MF)
I almost always use a freeze resist when doing dark missions. The few times where rainbow units are used, I think it would be very difficult to efficiently switch armors, head unit and body unit before the next mob.

Unless we are able to kill monsters in less hits, I think we can pass this armor combo. But yes, I can see it performing well for certain dark missions.

BTW Sa techs are considered support techs so we can dub them totally useless for MF.

[Positive]

Having no stun/resist in the relics area in dts usually ends with me failing the quest.

Does mantra do anything with it?

[DeltaViolet+]

I don't have a mantra.

I agree that it wouldn't be useful for every mission. but the 221+ TECH, faster casting time and more TECHNIC range Ill take with open arms for missions that don't require freeze or sleep resists. :)

[Crysteon]

Then...it's a Force oriented set? Lol...screw that then ;<

[DeltaViolet+]

Cry <3 Force? :/

[Crysteon]

I would love it if I were good at it. D:

[pikachief]

My initial reaction:

Yay an update to better gunners!! Finally!

My new reaction:

okay gunners still are pretty lame compared to forces... who got more stuff in damage and PAs...

:(

(not that your new PAs do anything at the moment lol)

[Crysteon]

It would be nice to see Sega giving gunners Charge Shots...but...I know they are being a bunch of lazy bums to implement such luxury.

[Omega-z]

Techer maybe base armor hmm...... DeltaViolet+ Did you do a Defensive test with the Set? also try it with Mantra when you do get it and weapons just to be sure there isn't anything where missing, Big TY in Adv. from everyone too.:)

Man I getting more bumped about this update it's total fail and it had so much pol-tensional.:nono:

lol Sa-spell's support lol they can't even do that good, more of an epic fail. We all know what the S and A stand for in Sa now lol.:etongue:

Yeah, The new Armor boost is no good for me unless something comes form it soon. don't really need resist at all since I can block, take 0 Dmg, have higher Sta from SE type of attacks. The only one's that can put SE's on me is if they have Lv4+ and that's mostly bosses which is fine with me. At least I won't die to a pip squeak and I'm a Cast too of all things.^^

[Anna_Wren]

Oh? But I thought the great and mighty JPeen never had bad updates and is always sooooooo good.

Lol, did you guys honestly think they would port the overly broken original Sa techs to PSU? Hell no and you should not only have known better, you should have absolutly expected they would nerf them to hell and back. The SA techs are basically the "Limit Break" spells for Acrotecher.

[str898mustang]

no....Just Japan has updates...they may be bad, they may be good......360 on other hand >_>

Actually there's a future maintenance to sort out the SA-techs :P The description!!!!

Also I like the update.

[EspioKaos]

Forgot to post these notes earlier.

Maintenance notes
* Maintenance was extended to 19:30 JST to complete final testing.
* Maintenance ended at 18:45 JST. There is a patch to download, however the game remains at ver.2.0014.10.
* The descriptions of the Sa-TECHNICs are incorrect, as they do not properly describe how they behave in PSU. This will be fixed in a future update.
