The Arks celebrates Christmas from December 11th through January 15th with a Christmas themed bingo card and emergency quest. During that time, Saint Mr. Umblla, and Saint Rappies will also appear across the fields. Christmas Xie will be handing out client orders, and if you clear them you’ll receive a lovely weapon camo as a reward.

http://bumped.org/psublog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Waves-450x253.jpg (http://bumped.org/psublog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Waves.jpg)

On December 18th 2013, PSO2 will release a highly difficult multi party emergency quest. The goal is to defend three large towers from an onslaught of Darkers. The Darkers will attack in waves that become more intense as you progress.

http://bumped.org/psublog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Energy-Crystals-450x253.jpg (http://bumped.org/psublog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Energy-Crystals.jpg)

Energy crystals will appear on the field which can help net you some points when acquired. Once it reaches a certain value, you’ll gain access to some defense weaponry such as the “Photon Particle Chair” and the “Burst Barrier.” Use these powerful weapons to change the tide of battle.

http://bumped.org/psublog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Wave-Results-450x253.jpg (http://bumped.org/psublog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Wave-Results.jpg)

The Wave Results screen will appear at each wave that ranks players based on how much they contributed to the quest. This score is based on several factors such as the number of enemies defeated and the amount of crystals you acquired.

Instead of items dropping on the spot, you can receive enemy drops by destroying the container that appears after the quest is cleared. As a little extra fun, you and your comrades can check each other’s “codenames” such as “Base Watchman” or “Crystal Master” based on the play style during the quest.

New enemies
[SPOILER-BOX]Dark Bibras (Dark Vibras)

http://bumped.org/psublog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Dark-Beiber-450x253.jpg (http://bumped.org/psublog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Dark-Beiber.jpg)

Dark Bibras is a huge bug-type Darker with large appendages and horns. The biggest threat towards the base are these bomb-type weapons that explode after certain amount of time.

Goldrahda (Gordrahda)

http://bumped.org/psublog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Goldahna-450x253.jpg (http://bumped.org/psublog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Goldahna.jpg)

Gordrahda is an interesting bug-type Darker that has the ability to learn and create a weapon similar to the one its victim has equipped. (Not sure if it’s a direct copy, but it seems to be based on the weapon type.)[/SPOILER-BOX]

New Photon Arts
[spoiler-box]
シュンカシュンラン (Shuka-shunran)

http://bumped.org/psublog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Shuka-450x253.jpg (http://bumped.org/psublog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Shuka.jpg)

Dash forth and stab the enemy. When charged, it can perform three additional attacks through the arrow keys.

フドウクチナシ (Fudou-kuchinashi)

http://bumped.org/psublog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Fudou-kuchinashi-450x253.jpg (http://bumped.org/psublog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Fudou-kuchinashi.jpg)

Performs a high-speed stun attack to the surrounding enemies. Though it isn’t very powerful, you should use this attack around enemy herds since it can stun them en masse.

バニッシュアロウ (Banish Arrow)

http://bumped.org/psublog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Banish-Arrow-450x253.jpg (http://bumped.org/psublog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Banish-Arrow.jpg)

Has a special characteristic that shoots an orb of light. While it’s detonating, the damage dealt toward the enemy is recorded and applied during the explosion.

ラストネメシス (Last Nemesis)

http://bumped.org/psublog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Last-Nemesis-450x253.jpg (http://bumped.org/psublog/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/Last-Nemesis.jpg)

The user places themselves in danger as they’re immobilized while charging the attack. Once fired, it unleashes a quick and powerful attack.[/spoiler-box]

Cool, time to lose even more 10*s due to disconnects, crashes, and getting kicked from the party.

[DarkShadowX]

Looks real nice! I just started PSO2 since apparently my PC could handle it on lowest settings this whole time...

[Cyron Tanryoku]

>Sexy Santa Dress
Can't think of a name just add sexy and call it a day

[NoiseHERO]

Wait so the 3 attacks after katana's dash PA are optional?

Welp, I'm bought.

Also something about arrow keys? (Like smash bros' Marth combos?)

Guess I still gotta work on my marth outfit.

Also let's see how arkz winter coat looks on normal body proportions... or if it just makes that little kid's shoulders retardedly wide... (which means you'd need tiny shoulders for it to look normal, or it'll look retarded even if you HAVE tiny shoulders...)

edit: Also maybe both those bow PA's could be combo'd together.

> use banish arrow
> use the kagome spirit arrow
> banish arrow does the same damage your giant kagome arrow did basically doing double damage
> everyone starts using bow

Also new EMQ not just survival, but you also have to defend towers??
An actual objective that's not just pressing a button?!

[Volta]

In order to prevent players from accidentally deleting their characters, it will now take 24 hours to delete a character. You can also cancel the deletion process during this time.


The easy solution would be to implement something like in EVE where they give you a 24 hour countdown when you first delete a character, and you can cancel the process anytime during that window.

called it

[jooozek]

i wonder when will they remove that retarded thing that doesn't allow people to join in middle of the quest (sup AQs, darker den EQ), this looks like it will suffer from the same bullshit
oh, late 3 mins to the EQ start? tough shit fucker

[Reiketsu]

I hope that winter coat won't be fucked up by some weird detail again, that I couldn't see in the trailer... if not, that's the best outfit they've released so far.

Also, that Darker that kinda copies your weapon looks interesting. So like, could it use a Twin Mech and hope through the air with it? That'd be funny to see.

[Sandmind]

I'm pretty sure the reason why it's only now that we're getting timer before deletion in pso2 is because we used to only have 1 free character spot. Being locked out of game for 24h because you wanted to re-make? That would had hurt back when pso2 launched.

[GreenArcher]

Was excited they were making a new quest type. Failed to realize they would make it an emergency quest...

Can't we just get new content that isn't limited by some bullshit factor?

And oh boy, another "event" for Christmas! Emergency quest and bingo card, thrilling!

[Dnd]

Cool, time to lose even more 10*s due to disconnects, crashes, and getting kicked from the party.

I was really excited about this EQ, up until they said this about it. It was bullshit enough in tower dc'ing or glitching and losing out on rares, but an entire EQ's worth of drops that isnt just a single boss?

I wonder how they are gonna program this loot crystal, will it all be generated on the spot (as in, you kill a kardha, its 'drop' gets sent to the table at the end, counting boosters active at the time etc) or at the end of the quest? Is everything going to contribute to it or will it just be bosses? (Lets face it, you kill 300 spawns and it generates 300+ bits of loot at once people are gonna DC or drop out, the lag on falz crystals is bad enough sometimes....)

[The Walrus]

Dammit Sega why'd you have to make the wave defense thing an EQ.

[Kikikiki]

wow kanran wasn't enough to stun mobs now they give us aoe stun cocido omg gaym2hard

so what's the deal

oh right that EQ

lol

[BlueCast Boy]

Bummer for those who got bad connection or dc'd on new EQ, if there gonna be a sandstorm on it will get some people to lag for worse for some critical situations there in. And for the Merry Christmas on Ice EQ...Rare Banther please, also hope that Xie's CO give tons of EXP just like last year's Christmas CO.

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

Boo they're nerfing my ability to scout other ships' economy with my 2nd account...

[Emp]

Arks coats, gimme noa!!

I don't care about the new eq or other stuff. My yas and units are good enough till Ultimate.

[Kondibon]

Banish arrow sounds stupid OP if you're in a party with a weak bullet ranger and a dark techer/force. o wo I wonder if it works like Zanverse and just does a percent of the damage dealt?

[Emp]

Oh I forgot about the Christmas decoration. I need that tree and presents for my room.

[Mysterious-G]

Honestly, guys, if this new content doesn't win you over again either, just quit the damn game already. I can see why you are bored, I am too, but I'm not sure what you expect to sway you around once more - whetever it is, it's not gonna come.

@Deletion Process:
Sucks. Ever since Ep.2 rolled around, I loved how I could recreate new charas until I was satisfied with them, no AC paying involved. That option will be no more. :(

[Sp-24]

Sad, but true. It's been two years now, and Sega's still "considering" making an official PSO2 forum or bbs. Which isn't really surprising, as judging from what I've seen on 2ch back when Talis Bonus was news, entitled western folk aren't the only ones who are whining about the game all the time.

Though at this point, it's like abandoning an autistic kid. Maybe, just maybe it'll pull through?

[strikerhunter]

You do realized for the past 6 months it has been already said to be an EQ right? and nothing bout new quest type.

This. I've been thinking of quiting recently. Personally I want an EQ designed like Chapter 11 from PSU:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sX_DreSZspU

An ALL OUT FIGHT, 4 or 12 man mpa, against HUGE Darker army. But Sega has to put in all that code bs >.>

I think SEGA has been doing an excellent job with the updates. They are frequent, and big ones more often than not. This new EQ sounds like a very fun addition as well, no? I also think that - beginning with Ep. 2 - they fixed most of the issues this game used to have. Then why is it that despite the game being unarguerably better and much more refined now than it was one year ago, that some of you are bored of it that much?

It's the game's formula, its mechanics. You've grown tired of how this game works. But it's what makes this game the game it is, and it is not something that is likely to ever get changed for whatever reason.
If you are bloody tired of this game right now, no content update or class fix will be able to fix that. Ever.

[gigawuts]

I can't wait for Dark Bibrani.

[The Walrus]

No they can fix it by putting effort into things. But they don't care since that wouldn't make them money.

[Cyron Tanryoku]

I also think that - beginning with Ep. 2 - they fixed most of the issues this game used to have.
We still get the same repetitive Ark Quests, what are you talking about

[Mysterious-G]

We still get the same repetitive Ark Quests, what are you talking about

I am saying they fixed the issues that they could fix. Changing the Quest structure would fundamentally change the ground this game is built on, and that is not something you should ever expect from any game that's already been launched.

[The Walrus]

There are many things they could still fix.

[Gardios]

No they can fix it by putting effort into things. But they don't care since that wouldn't make them money.

I still think they do care, they just have no idea wtf they're doing most of the time.

[The Walrus]

I still think they do care, they just have no idea wtf they're doing most of the time.

I can believe that.

[Mysterious-G]

And I think even fixing most of the stuff you guys think is a problem still wouldn't change the fact that you get bored of the new area they release every two months one week after its release.

[Cyron Tanryoku]

*every 30 minutes after its release.
I don't think we'd get bored if they at least tried some new objectives. It's certainly possible.

Quest 1 - Kill X amount of enemies
Quest 2 - Do the code in area 3
Quest 3 - Midboss
Quest 4 - Boss

3 and 4 are fine, but quest 1 and 2 desperately need to be changed up

[The Walrus]

tbh I don't really mind quest 1. I would like it if they did more with it though.

[Mysterious-G]

Wouldn't matter. Free Field MPAs do everything Arks Quests do, but better. So Free Fields are the reason Arks Quests are so useless, but they also are an integral part of the game - and thus not likely to be changed to an effective extent, or even removed entirely. Your real gripes with this game are how it works, and I don't see how they would ever change how it works. That would be relaunch material, and that's not what you should expect from most companies, SEGA especially.

[Kikikiki]

There are many things they could still fix.

Might as well shut down PSO2 and launch PSO3.

[Enforcer MKV]

This. I've been thinking of quiting recently. Personally I want an EQ designed like Chapter 11 from PSU:

Phantasy Star Universe - Chapter 11: Alliance Military Force - YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sX_DreSZspU)

An ALL OUT FIGHT, 4 or 12 man mpa, against HUGE Darker army. But Sega has to put in all that code bs >.>

Loved that cutscene. Also; Gimme that armor, Sega! GDI, already!

[The Walrus]

Might as well shut down PSO2 and launch PSO3.

It doesn't require a whole new game to fix the problems with PSO2. It just takes them caring more about making a decent game over caring about selling as much AC as possible. So a new game wouldn't change shit.

[Neith]

Base Defense looks interesting (particularly the new enemies) but not a fan of the items appearing after the completion. Terrible idea; if you disconnect you'll lose out on everything.

New PAs look decent, though I am confused about the 360 degree katana one that stuns, surely that's a bit similar to Kanran?

As for the Christmas update....terrible. Rehashing an emergency quest (another Cake Sisters one that no-one will complete anyway) and a bingo card? The PSP2 Santa Dress looks alright but it's a pretty substandard update as far as I'm concerned. I'll gloss over that one and hope the Base Defense one is good.

Edit: Also agree with what's been said about the lack of variety in Arks Quests. I guessed what the missions would be for Seabed and sure enough I was right on the money because it's the same as almost every area (Desert/Forest are slightly different progression but not enough to be noteworthy). If there was more varied missions for the Arks Quests maybe I'd actually run the ones that aren't 'kill this boss'.

[Zyrusticae]

Well, the annoying thing is that some things that would be REALLY EASY FIXES (mostly number tweaking), they don't actually do, or don't do very well. Like when they over-buffed Hunter skills and consequently relegated Forces and Techers to bottom-tier status.

I mean, they try, but they're just... so... incompetent.

[Mysterious-G]

If people are bored with this game, they will be bored no matter what updates come around. Class fixes will do the least to help that.

At this point it's like people playing this racing game, and saying how it sucks because there's no guns. There won't ever be guns. So quit the game already - you're clearly not into racing; at least, not how it's done in this game.

[Kikikiki]

It doesn't require a whole new game to fix the problems with PSO2. It just takes them caring more about making a decent game over caring about selling as much AC as possible. So a new game wouldn't change shit.

Your posts also wouldn't change shit.

Is that clear?

Quest variety = good
Quest with repetitive objective order = bad

You act like adding variety means it needs to be a whole new game

Even if there was any variety in Arks Quest, Free Field would include all they offer anyways.
Thus, there would be no incentive to play the Arks Quest.

If you are bloody tired of this game right now, no content update or class fix will be able to fix that. Ever.
Everything I saw only got worse with Episode 2. Even more content that's locked behind stupid barriers: XQs and a super rare boss that you'll never see because it hides behind RNG. More privileges for paid users, along with the game getting more unbearable for everyone, so Premium is now even less a convenience and more a necessity. Stupid crossovers that ride on the popularity of the other franchise so blatantly, that Sega can't even bother to put any effort into modeling the clothes that are associated with it. And game balance. Don't even get me started on that, just thinking of it makes me mad.

The redeeming features are so few and far apart that they can't even begin to cover all of the screwups the game had before and got recently. 4 or 5 almost useless 10☆s that you get from matterboards? Yeah, that's not even a bone they're throwing this time. Daily food stamps and bingo cards that give out items that may slightly increase the illusion of a chance that some thing that you may want would drop, but only for 0.05% of the time you put into the game? I'm not sure if I need to even comment on that.

And don't worry, Gameguard has finally did what I couldn't accomplish for so long and stopped me from playing PSO2 for good. So, maybe I was too harsh on nPro, and they can do something useful for once.

[Cyron Tanryoku]

Free Field can't offer the experience if they play the objective right. They could add gimmicks to the quest.
Hell, they can take notes from TAs and Story Quests

[Emp]

You can pay2win thro shops
Drop rates for all rares are low


No wonder this game is boring now. This is why most mmorpgs dont last this long.

[Reiketsu]

They could add gimmicks to the quest.
Hell, they can take notes from TAs and Story Quests

That's what I'd like them to do, as well. Also more gimmicks to areas in general to make each of them feel more unique than just having different designs. I mean, every area kinda has it's own gimmick, like seabed where you can change the water level, quarry has its teleporters, caves lava and rocks falling from the ceiling. However, all these "gimmicks" are kinda pointless and don't really add much. It still doesn't make one area feel much different from the other. These kinda gimmicks might as well not be there, you wouldn't notice a difference.

Some of the story quests have really nice and interesting puzzles and stuff, though, same with TA. If all Arks Quests were like that, I'd definitely play them more than just once to unlock free field.

If story quests had actual coop, that'd be like super cool.

[Kikikiki]

I want a scene where your character actually snaps and swing your goddamn actual weapon at something else instead of waving some air.

[Kilich]

People will tire of any gimmick soon and the resources that were spent on it, would be as wasted as painting Naberius bushes into different colors and giving Caves grass a physics model.

ARKS quests are introductions to areas, not infinite and dynamic, also nonexistent, content that people seem to dream about.

Also, coop in story quests is as much of a gimmick that barely anyone would use, because you play them for the story.

And what's next, really? More 'PSO2 needs PvP/Crafting/Raids to survive' threads?

[redroses]

I think SEGA needs to make some EQs permanent slowly.
I think there are already too many and depending on when you can play, it can be weeks before you see some of the other EQs. Especially when EQs are scheduled.
If they don't want to make them forever permanent, maybe they could at least alternate between making two EQs a week permanent.

I just think, it would be really great if they could just once add something that doesn't have so much rng added to it. You can't even get really excited for these updates if you don't even know when you will be able to play them (I am also looking at you super rare enemies and parallel world).

And while I am already complaining, I would like to add how much I hate how little content they add for lower level players. I fully understand that they need to add things for players at level cap, however, it is so frustrating when you feel that you need to be at least lv 50 to be able to do all the good things that all the other people are only still playing (it has become so hard to find MPs for VH). Which again wouldn't be so bad if leveling to lv 50 wouldn't take an eternity.

I would love pvp, but only if it stripped u of weps, units, and skill trees and gave ur lvl 1 gear to fight ur friends.

[MetalDude]

Quest variety (especially fucking stable quests as is, instead of this RNG garbage) alone along with real, tangible rewards would do absolute wonders for the game.

It's not the structure (although it is a large part of what makes this game so boring), but the utter lack of effort and care to do anything more than the bare minimum to keep anything other than their dressup-oriented audience interested in the game. Every time I've been logging on, I go through this process:

-Let's go hunt some rares today-Oh, right.
-Let's go level up some... because, why? Skill Points? Eh. Already OP as it is.
-Let's go run TACOs-Wait, I already have sufficient gear and grinding/affixing is a travesty.
-Let's play one of those fun new EQs-Of course it's not up right now.
-Let's log off and play better games.

Man this thread is such a perfect display of internet arguing.

"Changing things won't change anything"
"[large group of people with varying opinions] can't make up your mind. Some of you want this but some of you want that, you're never happy!"
"Making posts won't change anything."

It's like watching Fox News: Internet Debater Edition.

Lets just admit that its a dead game with a community of ungrateful players with no lives.

[EvilMag]

>Emergency Quest

God fucking damnit. >_>

[Rakurai]

It would be nice if they'd at least make it so some manner of emergency quest was guaranteed to show up every other hour.

[gigawuts]

Hey, at least it's not an XQ, right guys?

Oh wait, did I just give them an idea?

Oops.

[UnLucky]

No, it should have its own passes that you can only buy from a Cake Sisters type code in an EQ

And yes, the shop's inventory is shared for the entire multiparty so one guy can buy all 5.

Yes, five, which scales with the number of players (so only 1 if you have 8 or fewer people in the MPA, NPCs obviously don't count)

[PokeminMaster]

I don't think everyone's ungrateful, I mean I still love the game despite the many ways in which it can be improved, and I've logged over 600 hours into it, still counting (Many of my friends don't seem bored or tired of the game either) XD

Ive logged almost 3000 hours with my vita waiting for something that will never come.

[PokeminMaster]

I suppose, but I've been playing the game since the day of full release (August of 2012?), but I went on hiatus soon after Ruins were released until around the time Episode II came out... And still, I don't think it's going to get boring anytime soon; even though I'm sad the new Quest is an EQ, I'm still happy that we're getting some interesting mini-story-type-thing, as well as hoping it might have some relevance to the main plot XD

I can garuntee that it will bore u when ur capped, and have all the gear u want. This bore fest is gonna go on for months(til new lvl cap)

[jooozek]

speaking of that crystal shit thingy, why don't they add that to time attacks? loot is so distracting in TAs

[Macman]

I think SEGA needs to make some EQs permanent slowly.

Jesus christ I would jump for joy if they ever did that.
Just make 1-3 EQs a weekly rotation. Maybe then ________ Guerillas will get some fucking attention for once.

Then Sega accidently makes Elder a week-long quest. :wacko:

[The Walrus]

Imagine if they made arms a week-long quest. You would never need to care about EXP.

[EvilMag]

Imagine if they made arms a week-long quest. You would never need to care about EXP.

And yet a lot of people would still not get a 12*

They need to seriously just say fuck it and make Falz Elder farmmable. Most of his 11*s are already outclassed and 12*s are still never gonna drop.

[ZER0 DX]

Holiday event EQs like Trick or Treat or the upcoming Christmas themed one really need to be able to be selected any time at the quest counter for the duration of the event. They had it down fine with PSO and PSU, I don't see why they decided to torture everyone by having these event missions only pop up at random times of the day for only 30 mins at a time. It's already limited by how long they have the event up, why limit us further by not allowing us to run the mission any time we want?

All they have to do is bring back the PSU style events, it'll make people stay interested and possibly get something worthwhile out of it. As it is now you're lucky to get 2 1/2 runs of running around in a circle before being forced to wait another unspecified number of hours to do it again.

I'm not even capped and I've already run out of motivation to log in to the game.

Instead I've been spending all my time in Warframe... Which, TBH, SEGA could really learn from.

[NoiseHERO]

way I see it EMQ's mostly suck if you have job/school/training/busy

but for people that can play this game all day(a lot of you) then I think it's not too horrible, since you'd get sick of the mission in a day if you could spam it 500 times in a row.

Only part I hate about EMQ timing is when a good emq pops up when I don't feel like playing. Or when I can't get into a good block.

Otherwise who gives a shiit, this game is too casual and an RNG hell;hollow shell of this series find something else to stress about. <<

[pkemr4]

honestly it wouldnt kill them to have these holiday themed areas as limited quests instead of EQs....

[The Walrus]

It'd be nice.

[Noc Codez]

I would love them to implement a GBR like we used to have on PSU .. That would make people play more with a rare boost

[The Walrus]

GBR?

5 CHARACTER RULE WHY

Oooooooohhhhhhhhhhh. Yeah I'd be down for something like that.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner.

[GreenArcher]

You do realized for the past 6 months it has been already said to be an EQ right? and nothing bout new quest type.

No, I didn't realize. Hence my post...

I guess we should all be excited for some new "content" that's locked behind RNG, since that's what this game is all about right?

[EvilMag]

You know I'm surprised the game doesn't roll a die to decide whatever you play or no---oh wait there is its called nprotect gameguard. Maybe thats why they're still using Gameguard.

And you'd still find nothing of worth.

[Enforcer MKV]

Depends on the rates. I can see things appearing with enough of a boost. *shrugs*

[Noc Codez]

And you'd still find nothing of worth.

It's more for the non premium players.. For they can get there share of the 10* pot sort of speak.. And if you played Phantasy star universe. The GBRs always gave out generic crap 10*s buy every so often you'll find a gem. That's what SOJ should do on PSO2. I remember running hours doing my map cycles just to get that 300% boost on drops.. People would run it all day and all night.

[BIG OLAF]

The female Arks Coast would be super awesome if it didn't have those seemingly-random Ugg boots. Does not go with the outfit at all.

At least the Santa suit is better this year.

Also, still too many sword camos, not enough double-saber, knuckle, dagger, wired lance camos.

[Shinamori]

Bring back Board Break with SH and you'll have people playing again. It's honestly like people only login and play for EQs and special boost events. No one really does AQs after they fixed exited bursts.

I would looooooove some new Knuckle camos.

[gigawuts]

New glove camo:

But really though, why does Sega refuse to add new weapons that do actually cool things? Add a set of knuckles, give them a 100% chance to stun/slow when normaled from behind.

[Noc Codez]

Fck the cake sisters.. They can keep there cake ! Lol getting really tired of protecting there dumb asses everytime they get into trouble..
