I wonder if this is a bug, or somehow made it into the game? No enemies appeared...nothing, just a walk through the park to Desert 3. Odd, in my opinion. I'm used to getting 3543298749327 Duel/collect codes in Desert 2 :P

You might have entered it right after another party cleared it (it IS a multiparty area, after all). Alternatively, the game was taking it easy on you for being solo? I dnno.

ha ha ha, this is awesome. This makes me wonder if multiparty areas are generated completely on the fly by the server when the area's first party is created, or if someone at Sega really made this with some hysterically low chance of showing up.

I did enter it with another fully party already in the mission, yes Zy, but this would be the first time the game has ever taken it "nice" to me, lol. I'll just take it as they literally just cleared it and nothing happened afterwards :P

maybe it's a debug map

I've been in there before, a completely empty field. Then 2 dark ragnes spawned back to back, was awesome.

That does sound like quite a lot of fun. One of the previous runs spawned 4 bosses, before the 2 we fought in Desert 3. Pretty exciting game!

yea me and another player just walked through there thinking "wow looks like something really awesome was supposed to happen here... but its empty..." lol

I guess people came through and cleared it before we got to it as we did take our sweet time before getting here.

do not question it. just accept it as a gift from the rng gods at sega and run through the map

it was really convenient when me and a couple of buddies had that exact map when we were doing a timed run.

I've had it happen in caves. Turns out I only loaded the terrain and no enemies, because a huge ball of the spawned right when I got near the end. Also had a few maps load with no floors.

No floors? Did you get a pic of it? Sounds interesting, to say the least.

There was enough floor for the start hall and then this happens. If you jump in the entire thing sorta restarts and you get the exact same code attack you just completed.

Now I'm not sure if that works for images, but I don't want to break the walls on the forum like I did the first time I posted pictures.

I should say I actually had to reinstall my client last night due to how busted it was acting. Sometimes it'd never load, others it would do that and 9/10 times it'd totally lock when I started the game client. With my new install I load maps nearly instantly and haven't had even the smallest issue. So if you're having like serious issues it may just need a fresh install from a new client download.

No, this was just a one time thing. Other than the normal lag I get for playing on a dying laptop, I haven't really had any problems playing the game. That's some pretty wild pics there...kinda looks like a bottomless pit, haha.

@ OP: Is that PSP2?

OH NO THAT'S YOUR GRAPHIC SETTINGS!

Daayyuuuuuummmm.

Okay I'm done.

I've had this happen before, too.

That map variant actually shows up in the desert story mission. Very little happens there other than a code attack at the start and a cutscene.
I guess it got mixed up in the standard mission map rotation somehow.

reminds me of how sometimes tundra just cuts off randomly. no wall, just a look into an abyss of white.

ALSO THE BRIGHTNESS OF TUNDRA DURING THE DAY IS TOO BRIGHT MAN IT HURTS MY EYES JEEZE

i wish stages had an option for "always night" or you could like, just put it as a preference. i like pretty much all the stages better at night, except maybe forest.

Yeah, jackass. That's my graphics.

Fuck my laptop, lol. Can't wait to get a better computer, although that purchase is going to take a while to get done.



@Mracless: Hopefully Sega can take those out of multiparty areas in one of their upcoming maintenance downtimes.
