Well, I know I'll be looking forward to the one piece swimsuit as well as the Beach Team Room. I'll have somewhere to let my alts vegetate while waiting for things to do. :3

I do hope that we will have the option to activate the team accessories for only individual characters... focing it on the whole team is a bit meh.

[Drifting Fable]

Well now, the certainly is quite the partisan there Maria's smackin Falz with.

[otaku998]

Uh oh, mean no red katana/bow,or new 10* for them or new PAs. Can only hope next month.

[Cyron Tanryoku]

Lifeless eyes
Yaaaaay

[Xaeris]

I want to be excited for no maintenance, but that usually doesn't end well.

[Z-0]

Yeah... last time there was no maintenance, I remember the server:

- dropping
- somehow getting full (even though it wasn't)
- blocking people from changing blocks
- being laggy as fuck after the first week

shame it's not much next update. team accessories are really, really lame considering the restrictions on it.

[Shinamori]

So, looks like Aki gets injured...?

[BIG OLAF]

Barefoot swimsuits, finally god.

Also, that body-covering tattoo will probably be male-only. That makes me extremely sad.

Adding another new dance. SEGA's really loving dances lately.

Oh, and that censor bar over the eyes. I can imagine some hilarity with that.

[gigawuts]

i can't wait to be the censored robot

[DoubleCannon]

We need coast AQ! ;_;

[Ezodagrom]

We need coast AQ! ;_;
So far they always released AQs in packs of 3, so I wouldn't expect a coast AQ for a long time, unless they pull off something like coast/quarry/darker's den AQ in late september, but really unlikely.

[Shinamori]

3rd field is coming in winter, so not until then.

[strikerhunter]

Also, that body-covering tattoo will probably be male-only. That makes me extremely sad.


Wasn't the tattoos show cased with a male and female deuman?

[gigawuts]

There was an upper body tattoo showed on both male and female dumans, then a full body tattoo on only a male.

This has me wondering if they'll be bringing in more duman-exclusive tattoos. I'm not sure how I feel about that for a design like that. I do want more duman-oriented tattoos, but that doesn't look particularly duman oriented...and I don't want the other races completely left out of the full body tattoo club either.

[BIG OLAF]

Wasn't the tattoos show cased with a male and female deuman?

One of them was. The other was only on a male, which implies it's only for males.

If Dumans really do start getting their own selection of exclusive tattoos then I want Casts to have a variety of "body paints" as well. They could expose their joints or plate lines or whatever so long as they make you look more robotic while wearing all-race outfits! (Or they could just implement this idea anyways regardless of exclusivity, I'm cool with that too)

Something wicked, this way comes...
This doesn't seem to bode well for the English community.

If I had to take a *guess*, then perhaps SEGA may have gotten wind of our advancements here and may attempt to ninja-patch a few things to 'break' them and get the patching teams scrambling to fix them so that their JP-only players can do new content by themselves during certain times.

I hope I'm wrong but this doesn't seem to bode well for us...

Or maybe I'm just paranoid and they wanna take some time off to enjoy the last bits of summer :)
I'm still curious why the server restarts aren't just on a set automatic script to be done...you don't even need people to do it.

I'm not really sure what you're talking about, but if it's about not having maintenance next week, it's not the first time there's a pause in the weekly maintenance, it happened a few times in the past.

wtf? So no fix for the Beach Wars bug with the Naula Sisters? *smh*

[Ezodagrom]

Looks like they're going to fix that on August 21.

[strikerhunter]

Looks like they're going to fix that on August 21.

According to bump


The Beach Wars Emergency Quest will show up everyday from August 8th through August 18th at 1:00 AM, 7:00 AM, 10:00 AM, and 12:00 Noon EDT.

Beach Wars will be gone by then most likely or the scheduled ones at least.

[Z-0]

Only the scheduled ones are gone, the EQ lasts until... 4th of September I think? I forget.

[Xaeris]

I kinda prefer it like this, actually. It gives the people who are going to go to Area 2 for cake an incentive to make parties apart from the people who are MP'ing in Area 1 and not take up space.

But, apparently they may be considering an extension of the EQ due to the emergency code bug, which will be fixed in August 21st?

(Not sure though, depending on google translator for this).

Yea which is why I said "or at least the scheduled ones" since I wasn't for sure on date.
