[Golto]

I wonder if they will keep the event drops for the boss boxes?

and here I thought that after the event I would miss out on a good opportunity at Guld and Milla and I can keep buying S+10 Grinders. that's a relief.

[Crysteon]

I dont really see a reasonable motive to leave these missions available...it's pretty much killing the perspective of exploring other available S3 and S4 runs (not like you have a lot to explore in a dying game like this).

Are they breaking MF even more? It's quite unsurprising, lol. Good thing here is that they are trying their best to keep gunner classes forcefully on stage with those customizations. AF needs more love!! (nah, jk...but I find it disturbing that it has a lot of weak features now....)

Just hope those GC spears have decent stats and a 10% PA boost....at this rate, I wont need to waste time and tickets on hunting Bloodspears....

[ZER0 DX]

Curious as to what the Extra+ skills actually do. Maybe an increase in usable weapon rank?

If that's the case I'd love to see some for melee weapons. Swords and Spears extra+ would make me never leave Fighgunner.

[Midori Oku]

I'm happy about it too! \o/

I am really curious to see wht the "Extra" weapon customizations do, as well as the TECHNIC Master upgrades. Unfortunately it is going to be hard to decide what all I want to add to Weapon Skills, and Attributes/Resistances. So many things! D:

My wild guess about that "Extra" shit is that thy might allow you to hit more targets...or perhaps it's a cheap excuse to increase the elemental % of the current type of weapon. Of course, the first guess is quite game breaking...since imagining a Diga hitting much more hitboxes is just lolinsane.

While that would be cool and interesting, nobody gets an A-rank wand or rod, so it's probably not that. Unless they're basically saying "fuck it" and letting people pick up weapon types they couldn't use at all before, like GT grenades, WT rods, etc.

For multi-bullet weapons, could be a bullet increase. Probably not though. Most likely something along the lines of Left Hand + and Right Hand +.

[Midori Oku]

Maybe they could even be an increase in range. Although, I hope it's a damage increase of some kind.

[LP_Phoenix]

must be power or damage increase, everything else is nonsense....but bullet increase?....two bullets on a rifle or laser? O.o laser would be strange if it would start to go in different directions like xbow ^^ u stand in front of a line of monsters and u cant hit them straight cause laser "avoid" to hit them

[VectormanX]

Could also be a knockdown or popup effect added to certain bullets or techs.

Nosdiga before Ground Mastery lvl 2

Nosdiga after Ground Mastery lvl 2

http://i752.photobucket.com/albums/xx165/Nightwolf114/psu20120524_040237_006.jpg


Keep in mind there are three levels of each Mastery. I can't figure out what lvl1 does, but lvl2 is very obvious. This is also neutral damage, so the opposite element difference would be higher. I like this update! :)

[Midori Oku]

Ok this is now the normal damage hit on Mother Brain with a Rutsularod 10/10. This update is truly epic. \o/

Holy shit. So a EPD would be what around 13k? Crit for 22k?

[Keilyn]

Oh Crap!

I had fully GASed WT and MF...I guess I now can add more stuff to it. Unfortunately, it will have to be in September, since I will go away in early June for work. :(

[indescribably]

Holy shit. So a EPD would be what around 13k? Crit for 22k?

It's more like 12k and 19k crit. That's with elemental burst, though.

[The Master eye]

cool!
how about GM? also broken now? :D (or at least usefull? >.>)

[Midori Oku]

cool!

lol no.

[The Master eye]

lol no.
seriously? fail >.>

[Crysteon]

Yeah, I totally called it when I said MF was gonna get broken again, lol. According to someone's test at 2ch, Elemental Tech Masteries give the following: Lv1 = 70% PP consumption, Lv2= 20% PA boost, Lv3 = Improves casting speed (doestn say how much it improves it).

So...yeah...MF is PSU's little spoiled child again, lol.

[Midori Oku]

The increased casting speed may be bugged though. It does not seem to stack with a head unit.

[Crysteon]

Aaaaand, as expected, all three new GC weapons have a 10% PA boost.

Refer to this post for more info:

Dude, I'm so getting some of those spears...fuck Bloodspears hunt for now, >.>

I bought all the Rutsu's from player shops just in case something crazy like this went down.

Its about time I get to put all my lvl 50 techs to use again, its been months.

[LP_Phoenix]

are u kidding me.....techers are strong enough and now they get such a super gas option....even if it costs (btw idk it yet..) 30 ap each lv....gunners get no real love in this game, dont they? does anybody know what that -->type weapons name in here<-- extra actually do? im still downloading

[Crysteon]

Less PP consumption, that's all :/

[Omega-z]

Has any one come across the new option's for GAS not being brought up at all in the GAS mission ?

It seems that there only a few classes that can use the new option's. GM,FG,GT,AT can use the Extra options then the SE rate+ is AT,GT only and the Tech Mastery is FT and MF only.

[Midori Oku]

That's odd, the SE rate+ upgrades are on Gunmaster for me.

[MyNinja]

i want them spears

[Keilyn]

Interesting that MF is insanity again, and I wont get a chance to try it out before leaving. So much for S4 being group oriented :(.

[Omega-z]

Yeah Sorry about that Midori Oku it was just a quick look. It's this way:

GM,FG,GT,AT and PT can use the Extra options.

The SE rate+ is AT,GT,PT,FG and GM.

The Tech Mastery is FT and MF only.

The only other classes that "could of" gotten something "could of" been FI,AF and WT. It seem's that anything Fighter related didn't get anything.
