New Team Room Functions

Team Room Design: That Hot Spring thing. (edit: it costs 2k to switch between room designs, with team level 3).
Team Room Jukebox: Just like My Room, although it costs 200 TP to switch between songs.
Photon Tree Expansion: You can now level it more.

Weapon Camouflage - Weapon Camouflage items are exclusive items only from the AC Scratch. With this update, 13 are getting released based on astrological signs.

New Scratch - Includes kimonos, bathtowels and some weird male outfit with a cape. (kind of like an officier uniform)

Story Quests - All exclusives will be coming to all platforms (that is, MB9/10 to PC, and MB11 to Vita).

Chrome Dragon EQ - Continent EQ. His rare form can also spawn here.

The other fixes proposed for Hunter buffs, 10* item trading, etc, will all happen at different dates throughout March and April.

NOTE:

Sega are currently holding a secret campaign they posted on the livestream earlier today. If you type “かまたろう” (without quotations), you will receive voice tickets late in March.

For skinning, the weapon does not have the bind icon next to the weapon icon and it does not give the bind prompt when being selected. So that's nice.

They're the same game, so both. When the server goes offline to update, you need to update your PC client to connect again, right? The same is true for the vita client.

They all connect to the same server, and have the same data. The only difference really is in the graphics and one or two platform-specific features - all the weapons, maps, etc. are the same. Heck, if you get into the Vita side story all you've really done is enabled it by being on the vita. You can enable the story on the vita and immediately hop on to the PC to run the story, as far as I'm aware.

This is a good point. The reskin weapon (*ディー・ジ・アリエス, can't really find that star character) has a completely different icon from the actual wand in the video. The reskin weapon also has no required stats, damage value, or extra tabs on the info window like actual weapons do.

Wow, so that's pretty dumb.

Maybe they'll allow weapon-skin conversion. Take a weapon, turn it into a skin, use the skin. Not holding my breath, but it's the only way to save that system.

I mean, geeze, the entire purpose of a skinning system is the ability to make anything look like anything else. NOT the ability to make anything look like only like three things.

From what I can tell, weapon skins are separate items entirely and may be dropped like regular items or attained through some other method (I really have no idea how you get them at this point).

We don't know how many skins there are or even how they are attained, so I'm in a "wait-and-see" mode. Was still pretty disappointing that they went this route, though. As if I needed the inventory clutter...

The weapon you are skinning over must be the same weapon category as the weapon camo.

That was from bumped and even though the wand skin thing in the video was classless i still think you can reskin over any weapon. There may just be some things that are exclusive skins.

The video shows it during the AC scratch lineup with the text for AC scratch on the screen. It's a new cosmetic item category. Cosmetic items tend to be obtainable via scratch.

It's pretty clear they can and will charge money for it.

Worth noting is that the item name is prefixed with the star symbol. It could be that they'll allow players to get a conversion item in AC scratch, and that's just one pre-converted item?

I mean really, they'd be fools to pass that up.

And since it's cosmetic from scratch, hopefully it wouldn't ever bind so you could resell it (like costumes & furniture, but not tickets).

Worst case scenerio the weapon skins are an AC scratch item that will be up in the shop for roughly 1.3mil~.

Shougai commented that if they allow you to do pre-existing weapons, you could have the Mehren Nenka (double saber) look like a Gwanahdouble.

I think people are confusing Shougai for the development team. Shougai is a PSO fansite from (http://www.g-heaven.net/), which is mainly where your magazine related PSO2 news comes from.

Often times Shougai will comment on a story, (We'll usually say Shougai comments... Shougai speculates.. Shougai thinks.. Shougai believes...)

"Shougai comments how this feature could be useful for those magazine /nacht weapons which have a tendency to be very weak."


Unfortunately magazine scans are hard to come by, so the community relies on Shougai to relay the information. This goes all the way back before the blog even existed. (Though back then, the structure of Shougai's site focused more on bullet points rather than speculation.)


This format has been going on since Phantasy Star Portable 2, but I see that this may be confusing new readers into thinking Shougai is the development team.


So in the future we'll present a statement for every article that quotes Shougai.

Speaking of which, this also applies for the 7 Star Weapons and Mag Feeding. While Sakai is contemplating whether he should allow 7 star weapons; Shougai is speculating that he may be only letting us feed them 7 star weapons.

I think people are confusing Shougai for the development team. Shougai is a PSO fansite from (http://www.g-heaven.net/), which is mainly where your magazine related PSO2 news comes from.

Often times Shougai will comment on a story, (We'll usually say Shougai comments... Shougai speculates.. Shougai thinks.. Shougai believes...)

"Shougai comments how this feature could be useful for those magazine /nacht weapons which have a tendency to be very weak."


Unfortunately magazine scans are hard to come by, so the community relies on Shougai to relay the information. This goes all the way back before the blog even existed. (Though back then, the structure of Shougai's site focused more on bullet points rather than speculation.)


This format has been going on since Phantasy Star Portable 2, but I see that this may be confusing new readers into thinking Shougai is the development team.


So in the future we'll present a statement for every article that quotes Shougai.

Speaking of which, this also applies for the 7 Star Weapons and Mag Feeding. While Sakai is contemplating whether he should allow 7 star weapons; Shougai is speculating that he may be only letting us feed them 7 star weapons.

OH, this makes perfect sense. Thanks for the clarification. I normally see g-heaven referred to as just "g-heaven," and assumed "Shougai" was a person at Sega. Glad that's cleared up.

ok they totally fucked this up
YES THEY DID.

I hope the JP player base rides their ass on this one. This isn't even remotely a good idea. What about all the other weapons that will never, ever see use ever again because their stats suck ass? Grumble, grumble, grumble....

And now the 1% that you see people actually equip can now either look the same or look a different same!!

Why the hell can't we just equip weapons we have to a slot to use them as a skin for another weapon and just have separate unique skins you can win

We all know this is the plan.

How to implement a new feature that you know players will hate in two easy steps.
1. Implement something even worse than what you ultimately want
2. When players have cried for a week "listen" to the feedback and "fix" the problem with what you wanted all along

Anyone know if you just have to say it once in public chat or if there are any "catches" to this campaign apart from just saying the keyword?

I'm interested in these voices they're giving away, and I want to be able to secure myself at least one set.

Aha, this would explain why I saw this popping up all the time during the countdown for the falz EQ teleporter. The chat translator kept popping up with 'would bite' and I was sat thinking it must be a missed meaning thanks to Google translate. My guess is you just need to put it in public chat, as maybe part of a sentence

Just spam it in the lobby for an hour, you'll get entered for certain that way.

So what we have is another useless Rappy Fan/Cannon combo (like the yellow, white and pink ones weren't enough already), and weapon camo as AC (and restricted terribly).

Can't say I'm surprised, but it's almost hilarious now. The new area might be decent (the reskinned enemies don't exactly fill me with confidence, but we'll see), but the rest is typical of PSO2- seems like Sega's business model is 'if it's interesting, charge AC for it'.

Kind of wondering what these voices are, so I guess I'll try that out.

E....Except its a scratch lotto item, so people don't actually buy it, its just another type of prize.

Sega even your attempts to wring money out of the playerbase are done wrong.

They're still making money off us regardless - best we can do is use them, or sell the crap and get some return on it.

So anyway, looking at the video again, Hot Springs looks more like a rental than a permanent addition to the Team Room. I'm not sure what the text at the bottom means, but it has a date, and I assume that is the expiry date of the design.

Shinmarizu
Mar 6, 2013, 07:15 PM
Rental? That might explain its cost... Not exactly happy about that. Hope it is permanent.
That does imply that there are other rental additions like this in the future.

It's not perma. Though they also mentioned something about making team points easier to gain or something along with the update? I didn't really catch that part.
