Trip Down Memory Lane

[Cypher_9]

As the title suggest, and with the coming of Episode 2, we have already spent a 'year' on this game as we have with others. Along with the time we too gather memories of one or many great moments experienced. Whether it be self accomplishments or with friends; just know we had done a good job in our own way... Maybe... :D

Anyway, down to buisness: Geniune PSE in the desert when Ragne was still a bad mother shut your mouth at the time. Seen some familiar names in there, also a display of my skillz... (lol) Enjoy

Share your moments, let this thread be a countdown to the up and coming series of CODE: EPISODE 2!! Or how 'Sakai' says it... EPISOED TSU!

[jooozek]

your vid reminded me how drops were actually worth vendoring and then sega nerfed the selling value and never unfucked the affixing costs

Memories, hmm?
I have a bunch of playlists with mine. :D
The great majority of them are solo stuff though. ^^;

One thing I wouldn't remember if I didn't record videos, Dinian type enemies were blue in the alpha 2 test.

@Ezod Whoa, RB use to have Vol's battle theme?! I can see why they... moved it, it sorta doesn't match the mob but still... Gotta look at more of this though, see how this game evolved, especially from its prototype version shown in the niconico... Oh and the pool actually making a water 'splash' effect...

@joozek Yes.... only if there weren't people who wanted to make meseta the cash crop as a source of their RL income... aka bots ; ; However... it would be nice again, though we have the very limited quest that remedies ... that... almost... ;x

I still have very fond memories of closed beta. It allowed me the opportunity to play with the artists I follow on dA, who are now my Teammates, not to mention really awesome friends. All it took was a Japanese MMO to break the ice. XD

I remember the first time I got in a cross burst during open beta... I had no idea what was going on or what to do lol... then I saw like 100 items on the floor and... yeah :P

[Moocast]

Back in the day when Jellen Shot saved lives.

Reminds me of an old Vol Dragon fight during cbt when was about to get killed by a fireball. Had the one shot of it loaded and fired it. Thought for sure I was gonna die and then...

*1 damage*

Best day ever. xD

[NoiseHERO]

That time I changed the weather and realized I was fucking awesome. (THE WHOLE TIME)

Then gameguard happened and I wasn't able to make any more fun videos.

Good times!

[Punisher106]

I remember my first PSE Burst. I thought it was just for me. Good lord, me and like three others were clustered together, and it got to a four-way cross burst. And it Wan Mor'd like 7 times! Fun fact: There wasn't a crystal E-trial.

Man, I forgot all about this! I do have quite a few fond memories of CBT and episode 1, though I'll have to get to my screenshots so I can add some later.

I think I met a lot of the more well-known names in this forum during CBT. I can't remember in what order I met folks, but I remember the first person I actually played with was Ryoten.

I think I met OLAF - who I ended up running with quite often in the early days of open service - in CBT as well, with Mommy Cornelia, Enforcer MKX and several others.

I really got to know the community, I joined my first team, RaZonde, which gave way to Arkestra, and finally Ignition.

I reconnected with an old friend from PSOv1 on DC, Aka, after 11 years.

All in all PSO 2 Ep 1 has been very rewarding, and it looks like Ep 2 could be even better!

[Mike]

In August, it will have been two years since the first closed alpha. That was fun. Then the second alpha was even more fun because more people got in to play. It has been a year since the game officially launched though and I can't say that I like what I've seen.

The shine started coming off for me in the closed beta with the introduction of the RMRNG shop and it just kept coming off. The vendor and CO nerf, the slow drip content, and the "you should be glad you get to pick" comments regarding the Vita version bonuses. That last one in particular is what poked a hole in PSO2 and brought the ugly innards to light for me. Then there's the "item design contest" where players compete for the chance to design an item for Sega to sell but that's just another belch of foul gas bubbling from the black guts of PSO2.

I want to say there's a precident for these kinds of things. The first game is medicore but then gets gradually improved upon until a final, well-built game comes out in the end only to be followed by a fairly poor sequel. I want to say that eventually there will be an iteration of PSO2 that has all the kinks and nasty bits ironed out; one that is fun to play and worth spending money on. I want to say that I'm eagerly awaiting such a game but I can't. I think that Sega has druken too deeply of the free-to-play water and won't be able to shake it for any PSO2P that may come later.[/spoiler-box]

[EvilMag]

Ah memories. Back when this game wasn't a steaming pile of goat shit.

[RadiantLegend]

The beginning just a blur

How does that saying go? ......Started from the bottom, now where are here ?!?

[The Walrus]

I remember back when final came out and I thought this was the best thing ever and played it pretty much non-stop. Then I got sick of it after noticing all the flaws after like 2 months. So what did I do after those 2 months? Take a month and a half long break and then put another 800 hours in since.

I play in hopes that it'll be good one day.

@Mike Thats deep, and when it comes down to it, it is always money vs the people. It steals the essence of what the game is meant to be, rather than giving things to coddle the people while the wine is taken. Funny but, true, I gave my last to SEGA (then I realized it was refunded hur hur free AC) just because this was something I been waiting for for a long LONG time. I don't mind supporting companies that help promote a good environment. Even up to this day I still believe that Global would/will be possible given the true intention of the developer... But alas, a reality is set saying otherwise, though I wont let go just yet. And this game have evolved immensely, from its beginings to now, I never played such a game that combined game-play and graphics on a multi-player scale so well; seamlessly, I can be wrong. Though I played TERA too and it was attractive in the same way, by the way do they even jump on TERA? I forget. That and other things was and is the very attraction this game and I loved it like many others do.

@Gardios Hey I am on the left side, now noticing the people I befriended and others who are in my current team now.


Anyway we need a countdown clock or something, does anyone have the clock link? Today is the day!!
