PSO2 (JP) December 12th Update and Patch Notes

[Tomeeboy]

The official update notes (http://pso2.jp/players/news/?id=710) are up for the December 12th content update. In this update:


New multi-party boss encounter to defeat "Falz Arms" - Stage 1
(Emergency quest: "Approaching Dark Arms" - 迫る漆黒の腕)


Dark Falz Elder boss encounter - Stage 2
(Emergency quest: 深遠なる闇の眷属【巨躯】)

More details on the new Falz boss battle and mechanics can be found here:

Update: It looks like the new Falz stage one emergency quest is guaranteed to be available today (12/12) at 8:00PM JST. Unfortunately, that's not going to be much notice for those of us state-side, as that will be around 6am EST (5am CST, 4am MST, 3am PST).

Pryoxene Shop


Increased chance of encountering a parallel area in all quests (the "Merry Christmas on Ice" quest already received this changed last week) - single party area only.


In addition, a number of bug fixes were implemented:

Still working on translating those and may not get it done until morning. If anyone wants to lend a hand, please feel free and I'll update the thread.

[TrainerRed02]

fixed the bug? :/

[EvilMag]

The wired lances are the Twin Falclaws/Rika claws.

There are a number of fixes, any particular one you're referring to?

Thanks, updated!

So... how do you get Pyroxene?

[Tomeeboy]

So... how do you get Pyroxene?

I did not see anything in the patch notes that specifically mentioned how to get these. They did update their Shop Area guide (http://pso2.jp/players/manual/preparations/arkslobby/shoparea/) to list the new shop, but only say that it is to trade in pyroxenes you've collected.

These may just be random drops in certain areas, or possibly a reward for completing certain quests. I imagine we'll know more once people start finding them (perhaps in the new Falz emergency quests).

[Xaeris]

Elysium. Want.

[Tomeeboy]

It looks like the new Falz stage one emergency quest (which I believe is called something along the lines of "Approaching Dark Arms") is guaranteed to be available today (12/12) at 8:00PM JST. Unfortunately, that's not going to be much notice for those of us state-side, as that will be around 6am EST (5am CST, 4am MST, 3am PST).

Updated main post with the info.

[/spoiler-box] the Falz quest starts in 1.5 hours, and my Japanese isn't very good, but I think they are saying that it will occur at that time every day.

Tomeeboy@

the bug of mouse movement
the screen is slow in some missions :/

I'm playing
* SEGA apparently not fix this BUG -_-''

[Cyron Tanryoku]

Looks like I'll be missing Falz

[Sparzyle]

They changed the name of the Club of Adaman? That was my favorite weapon as a noob FOmar xD

Yeah, sorry, it looks like maybe that was one that slipped through the cracks. I'm not seeing any mention of it in the notes. This is a list of some crude translations of the bug fixes (sorry if I butchered any of these):


Loading screens that never end
Display bug where player count is cut off (?)
Gimegid attack power bug
Party members not showing on map when far away
Party information showing incorrectly at quest counter in certain instances
Icon display bug at quest counter when finding parties in other blocks
Display bug in tutorial window after client order: Exploration Permit Request III 探索許可申請試験・Ⅲ
Incorrect information written in quest to acquire the C-3 matter board
Bug where boss Transmiser would lock up under certain conditions
Tab switching button not working on keyboard or controller when sorting client orders
Bug where autoword after being revived would not fire
Graphical issues, including skin of characters and NPCs (seems they think this may still occur after the update and recommend updating to the latest graphics drivers... they will continue to work on this).

Other notes:

GC converted to AC for those who submitted requests
Gifts distributed from the one-time password campaign
Something regarding mag devices and the Nov 28th update (needs clarification)


May have left some things out... it's late/early ;)

[Temprus]

I'm looking forward to Elysium myself. It was a fun toy on my FOmarl, Janice Nova, back in the day.

The colors will look nice with Karyna too. ^.^

What about NPC autowords? I have yet to even see anyone outside of myself talking to my own team about it. It seems a lot of npcs have stopped using autowords. Dunno if it has to do with updating a partner character after a recent update or what.

I do know that Myra is my only character that will still use autowords. :<

[EvilMag]

Guess that explains why I all of a sudden have AC.

Hey, same as a char of mine. As an IA he's quiet all the time :(

[Resanoca]

Something regarding mag devices and the Nov 28th update (needs clarification)


May have left some things out... it's late/early ;)Yeah, this has to do with a mag cell, Pete. You get him for doing GC conversion.

[Macman]

Elysium? Seriously? It's ELYSION as far as I'm concerned.

No, they're only doing it today at that time.

Future repeats of this EQ aren't listed yet.

Just got 5 off of Falz

Yeah, it seems to be happening to lots of characters. My worry is, that when we get that potential code that takes your character to fight npc versions of other characters, is that when I complete it, will she even use her autowords. :<
