CM boost

[Lumpen Thingy]

So how is the 100% boost to it? I haven't checked myself so figured I'd ask around.

[Mattykins]

Can't say. Haven't gotten a single good mpa. :T

[un1t27]

Only double.

[Misaki Ki]

It's pretty good, if you have premium.

[Lumpen Thingy]

Only double.

well that's......really weak

[Flaoc]

well that's......really weak

no its actually really fucking good.. you can 40 ele an ideal in the time it would take u to get 20 ele

[milranduil]

well that's......really weak

You can get an ideal in 1 day of play if you go ham even with pug. I'd say that's pretty good.

"Everyone gets Ideal" Week

Now pugs everywhere can get Ideal with ease and be no skill pro.

[Mattykins]

Iunno, considering the people I've been playing with, I fear for what they'd actually do with them, if anything. I suspect I'll see a lot of ungrinded ideals in Magatsu pugs now

[pkemr4]

the pugs seem pretty good from what all my friends tell me. as long as i get 10k (20k) miles per run idc about clearing

[Maenara]

With the boost, even an M7 fail nets you more CM than a full clear normally nets you.

[final_attack]

If only Sega make obtaining LambdaGrinder easier :/

At least by making everyone get Ideal (and if only LambdaGrinder is much more accessible), Magatsu will be much more likely to be 4 runs, in Pug, even on lower position blocks o-o

tfw getting M4 jelly fail flashback and getting only 400CM per run

Fuck, can anyone confirm the random MPA are still shit or they're actually improved their skills?
I been playing with 2 JP random group before the boost start and they're pretty decent, but with this entire CM boost thing kicks in, i'm afraid the quality goes under the ocean.

they still sux but the drain is so relaxed so basically 12 man is the old 8 man drain except 12 man

[Mattykins]

Fuck, if anything, they've gotten worse from where I'm standing

[Hysteria1987]

Only done one game so far, but the PUG was alright. Got 50% through M10, there were an awful lot of deaths and not enough challenge dolls though. All up still pretty happy with it, but I do feel PUGs will probably be a bit hit and miss.

Getting a game started was probably the biggest pain. You'd sit there at 12/12, everyone'd talk and be happy, the game would get kicked off, and the moment before the warp throws everyone in the deep end half the MPA would run away. I ended up in three games across two blocks (with a good chunk of the people who ditched the first game) before we finally got one started.

[Ce'Nedra]

I did my first CM run in months last night at a non JP friendly time and we died at Vomos and I got like 24k CM. Was the first time I got past Cougar too and we could propbarly beat it if some russian person (who decided to talk public english to beg for weapons and mates) didn't frigging die the whole damn time. Even entered M10 without a scale doll.

Kinda annoying was that at some point 4 people died to vomos, i threw a moon, they got up but still failed. Ionno when the game registers Moon VR but it might of been lag. We might of made it if that didn't happen.

[Dammy]

first CM in last ~5 months, random block
result: fail at first cats

[Cyber Meteor]

Just did 2 CM runs with randoms JP players, results , 1st run : finished at the end of M9 against 3 banthers (not killed), 2nd run : 50% of M10 (1st Gel wulff room, i don't know if there is a 2nd lol). Looks like everyone knew what to do, but that cannot prevent the lack of VR energy caps in the last missions :p

[fay]

I only just done my first run of it there. Done all 10 missions quite easily. How does ones party actually be bad at this?

EDIT: I take it back. This team was shit. Didn't even make it past mission4. Definitely got lucky firts time.

[jiasu73]

I host locked parties all the time and even the quality of players that have been joining have been decreasing because of boost week so i can imagine that regular pug is even worse. Still clear 100% of the time though np though always finishing with over 50% vr left. Before boost week the yarikomi parties i joined would clear 90% of the time but im guessing the quality decrease of pure pug is a lot worse. Really helps if you know how to carry a group though.

btw i always host under the characters Sylvia and Camellia so if anyone wants to join just throw a whisper at me, as long as you are cooperative anyones welcome

[isCasted]

2 runs where people left at M4. 2 runs where we failed at M4. 2 runs abandoned right at the start. 1 run where we did well, but then I got 630'd at teleporter into M5.

Verdict: fuck this game.

[Nyansan]

So far gotten to M9 Ragne area twice before running out of VR. Usual runs end at M7 due to people dying to Diabo. Needless to say, was pretty surprised considering I only do pugs.

[jiasu73]

[Dammy]

ship3 and 7 now i still have chars in ship 2 though but havn't been logging on in ship 2 for awhile

ok, i left ship2 myself some time ago

on topic: just got to m10 50% with pugs

[TaigaUC]

You're not doing it on the shared ships?

[jiasu73]

i play in shared ship most of the time

[Sora3100]

You can't exactly look up players in Shared Ship though, only if you're on friend list there.

[jiasu73]

yeah really sucks you can't look up players , if you go through party list though you might catch me hosting a locked room(japanese). Just wanted to let people know if they want to join i'll let them in as long as they are cooperative and don't use really weak weapons such as interval 1 launcher and talis. I can translate for you as we play if needed

"Everyone gets Ideal" Week

Now pugs everywhere can get Ideal with ease and be no skill pro.

This almost made me want to play again. Then I realized that fuck it.

[Shinamori]

Most of the pugs I've been in (about 3) got to at least M9. Also, I heard Cm2 will get boosted too?

[Hysteria1987]

Yes, we're due a second boost week towards the end of the month when that next stage comes out.

[Perfect Chaos]

I don't think it's another 100% boost, though. Probably something pretty small, like 10%, but I could be wrong. Hopefully I'm wrong...

[Vatallus]

Don't expect it to be another 100% boost. This week wasn't even originally 100%. Was only going to be 10% but they added a 42M point goal to the ARKs event saying they would change this week to 100% if we reached it.

[TaigaUC]

100% or not, I doubt many are going to clear the entire new Challenge within the first week.

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

100% or not, I doubt many are going to clear the entire new Challenge within the first week.

Of course not. I don't think anyone would believe otherwise.

[red1228]

I could deal with lame PuGs only getting to M5-M7 if it didn't take 20 fucking minutes, at the start of EACH RUN, for everyone to pretend to greet eachother & see who's willing to be VR Manager / Funji Bait... Hell, a couple of runs it sounded like they were arguing if M5 should split 5left & 7right or 4left & 8right (using PSO2 chat translator via google so I could be wrong).
