[Kondibon]

I hope evolving the pets doesn't have the same limitations as leveling pets. I don't want to look for 13*s of all of them. >_>

[Evangelion X.XX]

I'm really not digging how Ult Amd's gonna have a teleporter; it's great in the beginning when there're many people playing, but later down the road, it's gonna suck when the numbers dwindle down.

[Kondibon]

I like how everyone blames the teleporters for content dying when it's been happening pretty much for as long as 12 man oriented non-eqs have existed.

[wefwq]

I'm really not digging how Ult Amd's gonna have a teleporter; it's great in the beginning when there're many people playing, but later down the road, it's gonna suck when the numbers dwindle down.

So what's the difference with having no teleporter at all then?

[Kondibon]

So what's the difference with having no teleporter at all then?Well you can't join a run in progress with the teleporters, but joining a run in progress always sucked anyway if you got in late and most of the MPA leaves.

Also, I guess you can't anga farm, but anga farming is part of what killed UQs. solol. :3c

[Batty]

that sword base atk :O 1333, NT grinding is 1% atk per grin wich means that at +35 the amduscia weapons would effectively have stronger atk than a +10 austere weapon O.o. now we have to wait to know if the potential will be good

[Dammy]

its not base , it has some affixes

[Evangelion X.XX]

The issue of joining in late and then the MPA leaves can be mitigated if instead of just immediately/blindingly joining a run, one checks beforehand the number of players/parties that are currently running the quest (the second option after selecting the difficulty of the quest); by checking out the parties, you'll see when they've started, and how many people are actually in that particular MPA. That way, you'll know if it's worthwhile to join a certain MPA or not. I also have no issues crashing a 4-6/12 MPA or whatever.

I would rather do this, than say, have a 6/12 MPA waiting for 15 or more minutes at the teleporter, while some people leave, others come, some leaves, more comes, and the teleporter never gets started since no one wants to be that "guy" who starts it if its less than, lets say, about maybe 10/12 MPA.

Edit:

And what if sometimes you just want a couple of runs with a few randoms in the MPA.... you can't. Like sometimes I see a few guys running Ult Lili so I'll decide to join the MPA and help them out (and they help me out) for a little fun.

Forgot to include quotation on my previous post :^(
I agree, it really sucks to having hard time just to join congested block and spotting active UQ MPA, just to have everyone on it leaving since they already completed the quest.
Also that part with anga, not so much since it manage to make UQ relevant for quite sometime, still kill "normal" MPA run though.

I still think it's the best thing having everyone starting and finishing quest together at the same time since it make things more convenient. Non-teleporter only work best if the quest don't have quest point system, or any other system that forcibly kicking out player/party from the quest.

Regarding "that guy", sometimes a guy will take initiative by asking everyone who present and ask if it's okay to start teleporter early because it takes too much time to waiting for the other to join and maybe no one left interested in joining the run.
Though if it's appear that one or two guys interested on joining the run, they can sit on quest counter or making new quest at the same block so that everyone can meetup on the next run.

[nguuuquaaa]

its not base , it has some affixes

There's Ability III, Stamina III, Spirita III and new souls, I guess they add 35 atk like other UQ souls.
So sword atk is 1283 at +0 and 1732 at +35, higher than Austere.
Now I'm curious what SEGA has in store for this series.

[Batty]

something else i just noticed, some of the 13*s seem to be similar, and even make combo in appearance with some of the 12*s units, like the unit that looks like that ult ex dragon having the form of a left hand rock gauntlet and the wand being a right hand nearly identical gauntlet and those yellow wings being nearly identical to the jet boots. does this mean they will be sets with the new 13*s and 12* units?

that would be a bit OP to current content, unless the new tier in units, extremely powerfull new 13*s and now expert lobbies means that we are getting a new difficult level

[Zyrusticae]

Maaan, I am not at all a fan of the look of the new weapons. Think I'll pass on that one.

Just as well, really. I won't be playing the game as much once Xenoverse 2 comes out the following week...

On the other hand, dat Ray unit set! I MUST HAVE IT!

[Zysets]

Do we know the potential for the new 13*s? I really won't bother with them much if that's not that great, my Austere Daggers are still useful.

[Keilyn]

Just glad a new Ultimate Mode is appearing.
Also, I agree with the Teleporter.
Ultimate Mode was designed with 12 players in mind originally; Higher Health among enemies and more mobs..

I rather see something 12 players take the floor than another single-player map.

[Punisher106]

peopel are talking about minmaxing, and here I am, hyped for robowaifu.

[Zysets]

Speaking of the NPCs, I think Emilia is one of the few times that face type doesn't make me feel uncomfortable, she actually looks pretty great.

[elryan]

inb4 new weapon is much more broken than Austere but requires Austere as base material instead of being given out as Collection Sheet reward.

[Cyber Meteor]

The trailer shows collection files for this new serie (Gix or Gyx or whatever it'll be called lol) so i doubt it'll be the case :-P

[final_attack]

Um ....... saw this feed on twitter ...... (https://twitter.com/lris__laevigata/status/784578038235357184)

I think this is what the tweet content is :

=======================
Analysis Info (Google translate from 解析情報②)

Ult-Amdus weapon drop 2 type
Collector File : 18% DamageUp + 50% PB Gauge
Drop : 19% DamageUp + 32% CriticalRateUp

=======================

Dunno if it'll be like that once implemented ......

[Xaeris]

Well that's thoroughly absurd.

[final_attack]

Well, still not sure until it's implemented ..... or it's just a troll?

But yea, that number seems really high :/

[wefwq]

inb4 damage up against dragonkin.

[silo1991]

i just dont understand why they had to put a teleporter it just screw the randomness of the sceneries , for earth scenaries i understand but for kuron and future areas that arent earth,no >:(

[Gaylar]

wow I did not expect ult amdu this early, for some reason I thought we wouldn't see it till november.

time to crack down on 60 eleing my austere finally zzz

[Flaoc]

i wish the vivienne ds was a camo bah

hory shit

[Flaoc]

im not convinced thats real.. remember sonic fever and darkness soul?

[Gaylar]

im not gonna believe that just yet either; 18/19% damage with a potential to have higher raw atk than austere seems like a pretty massive leap, especially when 14*s aren't even a thing yet.

[Chalun-k_x_light]

Well,it seems that the attached link has been disable for violating Terms of Service now.
So,don't believe it just yet.
But i personally think that it'll be quite unfair to Austere series if its potential is better than Austere.
Since you have to be hard-core enough to get all Austere series.

[Xaelouse]

Power creep is the last thing we need, jesus christ Sega
Probably not even real though

[Tunga]

I hope sega doesn't make this Las vegas sheets 2.0... 7923719037910 kills to reach 100%? yeah no thx.


remember sonic fever
Was it suppose to make us blaze it faster or something?

[final_attack]

Well, I'll just hope either it's not too over-powering (what's inside the tweet isn't happening) ...... or Vegas-Collection-File level ; w ;
It's already scary getting ☆12 units ...... which is most likely not gonna drop for me like always ......

[Chalun-k_x_light]

Well,I've already give up on units.Hunting for Saiki sets and none of them drop to me yet.

[Dammy]

its either EQ linked and fast gained like Ray , or ridiculous rate but unlinked like Vegas
unlinking CF and giving it decent rate is absurd

[Zysets]

i wish the vivienne ds was a camo bah

That's how I feel with the Daggers of Serafi

[nguuuquaaa]

Was it suppose to make us blaze it faster or something?

Iirc before official release it was rumored to be +20 all atk or something.

[Hrith]

Regarding the potential of the new weapons, hasn't anything been datamined that would fit?

[Poyonche]

So SEGA decided to make Ult.Amdu 75/75 only, time to troll everyone and go as BO/BR with a random multiclass Bullet Bow !

Also according to bumped : "The Gix weapon series featured in this collection has a potential whose power rises when a certain condition is met."
Might be like Ares or Revolucio.

[Zyrusticae]

75/75 only, plus on the expert block only solo XQ 1-5 winners... yeah, I'll take it. Should be decent.

At least until the content becomes irrelevant again and nobody plays it.

[Saotome Kaneda]

all of his "analysis info" tweets lead to shitty blocked url shortened links and joke pso2 rappy vids and his other tweets are about reactions to some stupid JAV so yea it's a super troll

[Keilyn]

So nice its 75/75 and yeah... Expert Block will be nice.
Also, Thanks to Ethan, OlgaCats, and Vivienne...
There is no excuse for anyone who existed in this game playing fighter why they can't have six +35 DoubleSabers by the end of the year. :)

Especially since these weapons have also been equippable by Hunter too so far...

[MightyHarken]

Care to explain that potential? lol. I just don't understand it!

[kurokyosuke]

I'm genuinely curious as to how someone got Dewbles from ドゥバルス (Dubarusu).

[Hrith]

At least until the content becomes irrelevant again and nobody plays it.To be fair, with Collection Files, it will be relevant for a very long time. It cannot be as stupid as collecting 1,000 Galel or Yurlungur stones for a 13* weapon...

[Shinamori]

Collection files sucks for people who work during primetime.

[oratank]

you still can do austere as anytime you want

[wefwq]

I'm genuinely curious as to how someone got Dewbles from ドゥバルス (Dubarusu).

[Maninbluejumpsuit]

Seems like they're not going to bother extending the deadline of vegas sheets and adjust the % gains with ult amd coming. :(

RIP the form wand dream.

[Keilyn]

Vegas sheets feel like Lineage 2 Grinding came to PSO-2 :)

[Arada]

I think you overlooked the following:

Las Vegas Collection is getting an extension.

[Zyrusticae]

I mean... it's bad, but it's not that bad. Approaching that level of grinding, yes. Bad enough that I haven't felt the desire to bother with it, compared to when I 60 elemented all of my Ray weapons.

[Hrith]

Agreed. I still cannot believe I got two Las Vegas Collection weapons to +35...

[Keilyn]

One is not bad when everyone was playing and giving up on the first three days.
Three is knowing there will be nine bots and three players counting yourself.....
Six is absolutely knowing that you have to treat the damn map like a Time Attack because for all intents and purposes... you're on your own...

[qoxolg]

Agreed. I still cannot believe I got two Las Vegas Collection weapons to +35...

And I was impressed I got two Form Scythe to +32. I didn't really hate it. I found the Riding quest to be surprisingly enjoyable for quite some time. It's just that not getting a single Illusia in an hour sometimes was a bit irritating.

The worst thing is: It's probably gonna take quite a while before anything more powerful then the Form wand will surface. Ugh.. Life of a melee TE is a harsh one! Oh well, only one lightning wand to go to complete my 13* rainbow! 8-)

But Qoxolg, we have created the Wand Element change ring!

[qoxolg]

But Qoxolg, we have created the Wand Element change ring!

NO! THATS NOT ENOUGH! :wacko: Charged Zondeels are the best!

I use the ring for bosses though... and of course Ult Amduscia. I actually don't need that lightning 13*, but that 10* in my beautiful collection is an eyesore!

[red1228]

I sure as hell gave up on Vegas 13* collection sheets & I'm glad I did. I've already obtained one of those Blood-whatever Spears with about 2 days of casual Trick or Treat / Ultimate Lilipa spamming.

I didn't even get 25% on Titan Stinger's collection sheet before one just dropped outright. Sega could extend the Vegas Collection Sheets another six months & I'd still not give a damn. Gaining +2.5% on the Boss Kills with +350% RDR is just garbage.

[Great Pan]

Yup, when I played Riding Quests, I always hoped for no alien E-Trials to show up. That ruins the chances of Illusia to spawn.

[Zorak000]

Gaining +2.5% on the Boss Kills with +350% RDR is just garbage.
I'd say that's not even the most garbage part of it; it's the fact that you could potentially go multiple runs of the riding quest without even seeing one Vegas Illusia, the free field is even worse about it since there are even more junk e-trials to encounter

also whomever decided we needed access to the Murder Trailer Trigger in the casino this rotation and not the Nightmare Vegas Trigger is a butt

I got a Form Sythe 60%'d, and I got a Titan Blazer to drop at 35% and did one file on it, but I don't expect to get this last one finished. im at 95% on Illusias for a deadly parfait file too...

I guess I am glad I've finished all the ray weapons I hoped to get done, and I didn't need much out of the Trick or Treat files either, so I am not that bothered sitting on these files right now

How hard is a wand wacking melee techer's life outside of boss battles?

I ask because I played Fi/Te for two years and I didn't have many problems wand wacking with limit break...and critical strikes and when the attack advance ring came out, crafted wands were annihilating SHAQ 80s as far as mobs go....

[qoxolg]

It was sarcastic, because we basically got spoiled with the Form Scythe, which is quite a bit more powerful AND useful then any other wand in the past and the near future.

That said, melee TE and especially TE/HU which I play is still very mediocre against bosses compared to other classes. Even more so when you consider the fact how much we have to optimize with a full rainbow collection and two attack stat affixes. Being good at mobbing is only a thing when you solo. In a 12 man mpa melee techer doesn't have much to add, other then shifts strike and debate cut/toughness. Mobbing in an mpa sometime takes longer then when I would solo, because mob management is much easier when you are alone.

[Zorak000]

it's going to be the best S-atk scaling wand for a good long while at the very least; unless we get a wand with Raygun Barrel's Potential lmao

[vaerix]

Welp. Probably not gonna get that wand in time. OH WELL

[Keilyn]

How strong are your Combined Techs?
Aren't those Boss Slayers?

In MPAs, by the time we cast Zondeel, a lot of classes have Mobs annihilated, and yes... Mobs are hard to manage unless you go ahead with illzonde or some means of traveling and catch the mob before the rest of the MPA actually divides them themselves. Shame, I never got the wands from the Collection Sheet. Too much real life to focus on those ;( Though I wanted one of those...

Well.. Can't always get what I want..
..and its not my main class. :(
Congrats on your wands.

[ZER0 DX]

Agreed. I still cannot believe I got two Las Vegas Collection weapons to +35...

What drove me up a wall was the stupid RNG. I really only cared to get the Form Scythe to +35 and added the Rod and Boots files as a bonus. By the time I completed the form sheets for all three weapons 3 times, I had 3 Rods and 3 Jet Boots drop from the end crystal, so I was able to +35 those two weapons early on and drop their files completely. I never saw a single wand drop the entire time. I painstakingly had to complete 6 whole sheets for the wand. It was absolutely mind numbing and by the end of it all I had obtained an additional 3 Rods and 1 JB from drops. It's a million times worse than getting Photon Drop'd in the original PSO.

I have never felt a burnout this bad, and now this new Partisan requires Vegas dogs after swearing off riding quests forever. That 99,999,999 total score title is meaningless, I'm pretty sure I more than tripled that number. Least I got a sticker out of it that no one can see because it's only in black for some reason.

[MaskedShardy]

hey does anyone know where i could download pso2 and the english patch for it?
