♥We love updates♥

[Syklo]

We really do.

New update thread to go!
Confess everything you've encountered, including those lustful rappies.

[Dnd]

I got hit by a really slow download this time around, however can someone clarify what happens to the current level of EXcube exp when you log back on. Does it change to your normal EXP bar or is it hidden until you hit 55 again and you start with 0 exp in your current level?

[Requiem Aeternam]

My game is still updating and after I still can't play cause I have to go to uni. I just had to sleep in again :nono:

From what I've seen so far I'm not too enthused. The outfits are pretty dire, Caseal especially, but the lobby looks nice and the Rappies look adorable. Also the Maid's outfits *wants red one now*. Hopefully the Pink Rappy Suits aren't too expensive. I want to buy one to wear and one to recolor my Ballistic Coat. I also hope Xie's COs give tons of EXP and money like they did at christmas.

I heard (haven't checked yet, doing homework) that current progress to your next excube will just be reverted to exp to next level.

so if you're 40 exp from excube, it's now 40xp to level up

Knew I should of stayed 4k tnl on my fighter ha, decided to get the cubes to be safe... 8% to go to be able to check myself Zzzzzz

[jooozek]

Anyone who hoped for repeatable Xie orders, well, tough luck, there is only one repeatable and it gives 400 meseta/5000 exp (kill 5 infected monsters in caves).

[Syklo]

Such heartbreaking news
♥|♥

[Heat Haze]

4 Shii COs, and only one is repeatable. Not a good repeatable, even. So tragic.

[Syklo]

So i just tried the update out.

The new nab TA is pretty interesting: You get a message log/pack at the start, and hilda actually gives you instructions AS YOU GO (in japanese, obviously).
You're forced to split up for the duration of it from what I can infer with the new switch types, but you slowly merge back together.

Predicahdas and dicahdas spawn here too, which is cool.
6 areas in total, last area has a boosted ragne fighting garongos and aginis's (lol).
Gotta kill ALL of them though, not just ragne.

And for some reason, this update is now allowing me to run at 60FPS in VFS mode :D
woohoo
Or maybe it was some lucky boot?
idk, will test that again 2morro.

Oh yeah, one more thing
ALL QUEST DIFFICULTIES ARE STANDARDISED
What does this mean?
remember how tundra free field required lvl 33 for hard mode?
Well, all hard modes are now lvl 20.
all VH are now lv40.

[Alex305!]

FUCK YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES Finally they are getting this right! YES! YES! YES! BEST UPDATE EVER! WOOOOOO! YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAH!

[Ce'Nedra]

Good, thats becoming more PSO and less PSU style for the quests. I always hated it that you finnaly hit 40 for VH but have to level some more to play all areas etc.

Edit: Ricardo updated bumped!

http://bumped.org/psublog/pso2-jp-sweet-honey-valentine-scratch-1232013/

[jooozek]

That's nice but too bad the EXP is scaled and there is a severe penalty for being 5 and more levels below the monsters levels.

[Syklo]

FUCK YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES Finally they are getting this right! YES! YES! YES! BEST UPDATE EVER! WOOOOOO! YEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAH!
THERE'S STILL HOPE!

But this is valentines update. Surely there'll be heartbreakers around.

Adding to this but it's not much a of big deal, but field music that transitions into battle music when encountering mobs have changed to Emergency Code only now.

Sorta lame to me though but whatever.

[Cyclon]

You missed the very main point in all of this.

The operator's hair... it flies around. It. Flies. Around.

Also new headphones for the blond one.

[Mystil]

I did notice their hair flies around now, didn't think it was worth mentioning. Makes me think the game places them near you as invisible characters.

[Bellion]

New TA seems to be just pure killing.
Minibosses: Area 2
North-De Malmoth
West-Rockbear
East-Wolgada
South-Gwanada
Mid Boss: Area 4
Left-Fang Banther + 5 Gulfurs
Right-Fang Banshee + 2 King Yeti

[Cyclon]

Well indeed, though it's a nice detail.

Since I'm here to tell you about unimportant suff... the Alt+C for females has changed. No idea on how to use the previous one as of now.

[Akaimizu]

Hair flies around now? Oh ho ho ho ho! Now I need to see how Eric looks with this update. I remember how in PSU, hair looked funny. Particularly if you had pigtails. Only because it acted as if they were attached (Azumanga style).

Still. Nice bit of news.

[Shiyo]

New TA is the most fun and best TA so far.

[Saffran]

> Finally they are getting this right!

No, they're not. Being lvl1 when ennemies around you are lvl 28 sucks.
(the exp penalty is (PlLv-EnLv)=n*5% for n=-5 to -19. It comes again when n=+5 but i haven't looked much into it yet)

The requisites should have stayed. Lowered, but stayed. "Yeah I unlocked all areas with my force let's level up my hunter starting in Ruins" <- I don't think so.
Plus, hey SEGA, you know the "monsters die upon spawning" and "infinite mesta" cheating tool? I still get the hourly twitter reminder that I can DL them and that they work.

Just sayin'.

[Akaimizu]

So do you think they kept the same exp penalties as before with this change?

[gigawuts]

Then don't go there.

For some of us, a major attraction of an RPG has been the option to go somewhere severely underleveled, for fun. Having the game essentially handhold you by forcing you to be a set level removes that option. Sounds like this brings it back.

If you don't want to be so underleveled, don't go there just like you weren't going there before.

[Akaimizu]

Actually, they already do that for the Falz Arms and a few other *timed events* before this update.

I started seeing that since level 17 and seeing these levels pop up with level 23-24 and level 30+ mobs respectively. Well, except I believe it wouldn't allow me in the one with level 30+, but it strangely offered me the level anyway.

[Menasthos]

Are we getting 55 and tree updates? Noone mentioned them here

[Z-0]

Yes, we got 55, but the skill tree is not being expanded until the 60 update to make you spend points now and have to buy a new skill tree later if SEGA decide to put the new skills in silly places.

[Ezodagrom]

Are we getting 55 and tree updates? Noone mentioned them here
Only 55.

[Menasthos]

Oh... :sleepy: Thanks.. downloading.. guess is ready just tomorrow.. 1154 files more.. :sleepy:

[Acel]

Actually the new best update is the new emergency. The new music is HILARIOUSLY FUN.
Go try it if you havent. You would prolly end up whistling like me...

Ps: BEST PSO MUSIC EVAR! XP

[Enforcer MKV]

Is it just instrumental, or are there Lyrics, out of curiosity?

[Saffran]

>If you don't want to be so underleveled, don't go there just like you weren't going there before.

You know, now that you say it, it actually would be fun to try it out.
I guess I am averse to the idea of skipping steps (specifically in PSO2).
Plus, I can only have 5 Moon Atomizers to revive others. And boy, can they be depleted fast...

[jooozek]

It's an old song, someone is bound to link to it.

[Menasthos]

Interesting.. :cool:

Well, in every online RPG I've played the funnest part is getting 1-3 people and going somewhere with lots of danger signs. In borderlands that meant fighting level 16 enemies at level 7-9, in pso that meant going online and jumping into ruins at level 5.

Protip: In pso1 tech damage and resistance was calculated differently than physical damage - a level 1 force could actually deal decent damage in ruins :wacko:

The rewards are scaled against you here, but the fun was always in the dying repeatedly and trying to win against the odds.

[Saffran]

Gigawuts> yeah, the infamous Fonewearl clearing ultimate at level 1, right?

[Acel]

Not sure how to extract the music but uploading a clip of my character dancing to the music atm... :P

I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers the good times, even if it's a different game; the fun of fighting with the odds stacked against you isn't lost.

[The Walrus]

There are fun scratch versions of the Prim Headphones and Blitz Guarder.

My life is complete

[Akaimizu]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who remembers the good times, even if it's a different game; the fun of fighting with the odds stacked against you isn't lost.

It was kind of like that for PSP2 if you fought enemies just a few levels over you. Or sometimes just 1 or 2 levels if you solo.

[The Walrus]

Personally I always thought PSP2 was easy...

[Gama]

aside from the featured updates, i also noticed that the gfx strain on my PC is lower, aka less heat, and better frame rate all around.

so yeah they improved the gfx engine.

[Acel]

Found a link to the funny song. It seems to be from an old Sega game about rubbing. ROFL.

Enjoy!

Rub it! XD
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiO8a9ErCBg

[Akaimizu]

Personally I always thought PSP2 was easy...

Depends on your available build access, class selection, and available party members, as always. The difficulty factor always depended on that throughout the series. (Translation. How squishy your class is and whether there are extremely large hitbox foes that can one-shot you in a game with only 1 scape doll limit.)

Still, I don't want to belittle the most important aspect of the update. The "Hair" factor.
With more animation means Eric Windhaven will look fabulous with it. Er. Actually. He already looked Fabulous. No. This would increase his already fabulous look by about, maybe 15%. A significant amount, I'd say so myself.

Sulu (No another Sulu): Captain Windhaven, we're ready to achieve Hair Factor 12.

Eric Windhaven: When you're ready, Commander Sulu. Engage!... But wait....not until you're sure you're ready for a most wonderful improvement in bridge aesthetics.

Sulu: Er....(What in the heck is he talking about?) Engaging now, sir.

[The Walrus]

Oh my fucking god Over End got 600 power added to it.

God this is the best fucking thing.

EDIT: OH MY GOD PEOPLE ARE GETTING OFF ALL OVER FALZ ARMS WITH IT

WHAT. THE RUB RABBITS THEME!?

OMG, YES! SO. MUCH. FREAKING. YES.

GAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, THANK YOU SEGA! XD

...before anyone asks, it's Sega's version of Warioware. Albeit a bit more quirky. If that's even possible. :lol:

Makes heavy use of Stylus games, hence the "rub it" XD

[Jakosifer]

My favorite update so far just because of the new TA, which was instantly my favorite the moment it started. Guaranteed Ragne and Fang Bros? MANTIS BROS TOO? Yeah. Good update. Nevermind this TA being heavily combat based.

[Z-0]

Definitely loving the new TA. Heavy combat, and just a TA quest in general.

Hopefully this IR in 12 minutes is Nab II.

[MetalDude]

Oh my fucking god Over End got 600 power added to it.

EDIT: OH MY GOD PEOPLE ARE GETTING OFF ALL OVER FALZ ARMS WITH IT


*dies of over end amazingness*

Ok what the fuck? I read that they increased the swing speed and boosted the power somewhat but six motherfucking hundred?

[Z-0]

Idk, it still doesn't feel useful to me. Still kind of slow.

[MetalDude]

Basically, it's an even more absurd boss killer than it was before. I don't think it'll ever see practical use unless it swings stupidly fast and becomes the most broken PA in the game.

[Dnd]

Thw swing speed increase is only minor and only for the final blow...

It still confuses me why people moaned about it, I always thought the over-end PA was meant to be risky to use, slow, but horrificly powerful to make up for it. The fact you can now turn 90 degrees during the final 'slam' is another buff to it

[Jakosifer]

It's pretty cool for it to get a boost in more than one area, but my problem with Overend is that despite how cool it is, I always have another tool available for more efficient destruction. -shrug-

Edit: Though I haven't tried new Overend yet anyway, and if you can actually turn between all of the swings now, that definitely scores it some points.

[MetalDude]

I think a lot of other PAs needed more substantial improvements, like most of the sword PAs period. Or Sword Gear just needs to be way easier to maintain so that Nova Strike and Rising Edge are much more usable. Everything that's not Speed Rain or the two chargeable Partisan PAs need a lot more power.

[The Walrus]

I was hitting 100k on wb'd falz arms with a single Over End using meh gear. My damage almost doubled from what it was before the patch.

[Seravi Edalborez]

Welp, grinder requirements for rares haven't changed. Guess it's "ok we lied" or "next week".

Edit: What's up with the navigators? Just started up Free Volcano, their hair is blowing to the side.

[Ezodagrom]

Adding to this but it's not much a of big deal, but field music that transitions into battle music when encountering mobs have changed to Emergency Code only now.

Sorta lame to me though but whatever.
I hope that is just a bug. ._.

[KatsujinkenKik]

Wowwee. My collection of daily orders for VH enemy kills and items gives ridiculously better rewards now.

zesh kills x99 now gives around 1698 EXP per kill, i think it was 700 or 1200 meseta per kill.

having 91/99 so far this is a great surprise as it was only 490 exp before.

[MetalDude]

That's great to hear. Dailies were almost always a joke.

[Syklo]

aside from the featured updates, i also noticed that the gfx strain on my PC is lower, aka less heat, and better frame rate all around.

so yeah they improved the gfx engine.

Yeah, I've noticed this too.
I can actually reach 60FPS in Vfullscreen now!
Guess I'll test temperatures with standard shaders later

[Syklo]

So just because the level requirements were technically lowered ... does that mean that the enemies are easier too? Because it really wouldn't bother me if every area requirement was lvl 1 as long as exp scaled the same and enemies difficulties scaled the same.

[Coatl]

I hope that is just a bug. ._.

I don't. Feels more like PSO this way.

[johnwolf]

So just because the level requirements were technically lowered ... does that mean that the enemies are easier too? Because it really wouldn't bother me if every area requirement was lvl 1 as long as exp scaled the same and enemies difficulties scaled the same.

no, they are the same lvl as they were before. so even if you can enter a hard Tunnles Free Field, they are STILL lvl 37.

the lvl requirement drop for difficulties was MUCH needed. especaly sence you unlock hard mode at lvl 20 but STILL couldn't do hard mode on most of the missions. it make it totaly worthless, untill now.

[kabutozero]

but exp will s till be nerfed if you're more than 5 levels away from the mob right?

[Meji]

WHAT. THE RUB RABBITS THEME!?

OMG, YES! SO. MUCH. FREAKING. YES.
I reacted the same way. This will forever be the theme song of My Room!

[johnwolf]

but exp will s till be nerfed if you're more than 5 levels away from the mob right?

good question, WE MUST KNOW! Quickly, PSO-World comunity, dose this still aply?

[Maronji]

good question, WE MUST KNOW! Quickly, PSO-World comunity, dose this still aply?

I'd be surprised if it didn't.

I'm 99% sure the answer is still "Yes" but I'll go do some field testing if no one else has yet.

[Ezodagrom]

I don't. Feels more like PSO this way.
To me it feels like something is missing, the calm themes just don't fit fighting situations. Also, PSO had battle themes too, I don't see how it feels more like PSO fighting with the calm themes. o-o;


but exp will s till be nerfed if you're more than 5 levels away from the mob right?
Yes, exp is still nerfed for enemies that are 5 or more levels higher than the player.

[KatsujinkenKik]

the constant calm theme is bothering me a lot! I guess someone messed up when they had to put in the rub rabbits theme for the special quest, and now my beloved music hardly comes on in normal quests.

There are plenty of E trials in darkers den, but i would be disappointed to not have that wonderful music playing during all fights if i end up in there again.

[Kierto]

The music things seems like a bug. Why have such a complex 'Sympathy' system when it will just be reduced to on/off with an 'update' like this. Unless they listened to too much QQ about the pinch drums and this is their fix amirite?

Just hurry already and give me Boss BGMs playing when they spawn in the field please! (and the Hunar EQ shows it can be done easily and effectively..)

Got abducted doing the new TA and with the 'battle' music only cranking up during codes it was kinda lulsy as the only codes are the Boss spawns and the Dropshipx2 (oh and Darchymes..). I'm loving the 'dibs on Gwana + Banther route!!' race every Nab Marathon II, though.

Yeah, it's almost certainly a bug, sometimes the transition from calm to battle happens outside of codes, but it returns to calm right away.

[Enforcer MKV]

I reacted the same way. This will forever be the theme song of My Room!

haha, dude, I have the youtube link bookmarked now and favorited. It never crossed my mind to do that when I first picked up the game. :lol:

...What, don't you all look at me like that! The mini-games are fun. D:<

[Alenoir]

It's the BGM bug that was present in the Vita's CBT client. They somehow managed break the normal game with it too. Amazing.

Oh, if you're hearing JA sounds/tech casts when you're nowhere NEAR anyone in an MPA, that's also a Vita bug that somehow transferred over.

[Ezodagrom]

[Rob2003ert]

Didn't see it mentioned but newman have a small ear option now to avoid clipping issues with accessories.
[SPOILER-BOX]http://i.imgur.com/xouHTGi.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

[MetalDude]

I will give credit to Sega's graphics optimization because my horrible framerate issue completely evaporated and the game is running faster than even before.

[Z-0]

I haven't even noticed a difference. Still get the same framerate drops at the same places.

[MetalDude]

I get the sandstorm drop as usual but it's not even nearly as severe now. It might be that I did a fresh install to see if that would fix my framerate issues (it didn't) and so my computer is incredibly clean right now.

[Jakosifer]

The only drop I experience is one when the first Darkers in the beginning of the Amdouchia TA. Which is weird, not sure if anyone else gets that. Otherwise the only oddity I've had post update is hearing JA Tech and charge sounds in an MPA when I'm nowhere near anyone else.

[Z-0]

I always got the freeze at the start of Amdusica TA, too. Happened before the update.

Haven't noticed anything else though since I never MPA anymore. .-.

EDIT: Oh right, sometimes I see player dots spazzing out on the map too. Nothing major though.

[MetalDude]

I actually get that too and it's the only slowdown I see during the whole TA.

Also, I swear some element hit SFX sound a bit different, notably light.

[Z-0]

Also: Zonde buff. Your main target will do extra awesome damage, while any targets hit by its splash will do whatever the old damage was.

[gigawuts]

Zonde CHANGE

It comes from the top down and damages the first hitbox it touches, meaning no more hitting weak points on numerous enemies.

[Z-0]

Oh,

hmm...

Maybe I was actually hitting robot legs and not their weakpoint (assuming that even changes the damage on spars).

[gigawuts]

Woah okay, my zonde is hitting for about 22k on WB'd falz arms. Yeah this is buffed.

[Bellion]

[SPOILER-BOX]http://img35.imageshack.us/img35/4884/pso20130124170155003.jpg[/SPOILER-BOX]

Yeah, Zonde is buffed on the main target. I want to say it's like a x1.5 damage modifier on the main target.

[MetalDude]

So you mean it can actually hit the main Vardha unit now? Thank god. Of course, Zan still exists.

[Syklo]

So you mean it can actually hit the main Vardha unit now? Thank god. Of course, Zan still exists.
Zan's pretty dam awesome on vardha.
At least I can safely use zonde rather than gizonde on falz...

Oh and about the music bug thing, the battle music can still occur outside of ecodes. Conversely, there can be no battle music during ecodes.

The bug seems to be more about adjusted conditions: I've had instances where a small "clip" of battle bgm plays and then reverts to calm, where in those same conditions a more critical/panic-type bgm clip would be playing.

[Aeris]

Some sound effects like a mag activating a ability is too high pitched for some reason when even hitting a mob with a weak element of a tech/weapon is the same way as well.
