Are you going to Bonus Scratch for the Beast Face?

[Tymek]

See thread name.

[Meteor Weapon]

Bonus scratch/Beast Face is a mistake.

[SteveCZ]

. . No . .

[RadiantLegend]

Hell No.

[Dark Emerald EXE]

I'd love to but I probably won't considering SEGA it will no doubt be the final Bonus reward (Sort of how they do LAs)

[ZER0 DX]

Already made that mistake with the Airboard, but at least that was account wide. So no.

[Shoterxx]

Nope, nor can I.

Correct. It's been confirmed as 25 regular scratches to obtain.

[Raujinn]

Nope.

[Dark Emerald EXE]

Correct. It's been confirmed as 25 regular scratches to obtain.

In that case that made my decision easy :P

[radlar1]

[Tymek]

That's a shame. $50 for a new race. Ahah. You know what I mean.
Where/when was it confirmed? During a Live Broadcast?

That does seem to be the case...
25 x 200 = 5000AC = 5000 yen = expensive in whatever your currency is

Yea if it was mid-reward I'd consider it....but $50.....naw

[Enforcer MKV]

Absolutely not. The entire bonus scratch as a concept is a slap in the face.

[yoshiblue]

Its a legal version of what they wanted back in the beta days. Only you aren't forced to complete a bingo card thanks to the law.

[Xaeris]

I mean, I really don't want to. I called BS on the concept of scratch frequency bonuses from the very first time they appeared. I'm certainly not keen on the idea of encouraging this and have already done without a few items that have appeared as scratch frequency prizes in order to avoid doing so. But Beast face...this is like my one weakness. It's my chance to finally recreate Johann Launcher in his proper PSU incarnation. I really just don't know.

What do you mean?

[Xaeris]

Way back when in PSO2's open beta days, the scratches came with an additional feature. If you obtained one of each featured item from a particular card, you would get an exclusive prize. Scratches were still as random as ever though, so getting that item was basically straight up gambling since even just one item could block you. Since it was open beta, we were all playing with fake AC, so it was no skin off our noses, but the implication was that obtaining these prizes in the future could easily cost hundreds of dollars for people who wanted them. Before the game went live though, Japan passed a law banning this practice (it was employed by other games), forcing Sega to table it.

[yoshiblue]

Back when the Rappy suit was a new thing, the way you got it was collecting every single scratch item in that scratch. Goal being to get people to scratch more. A new law was made because of it. So to achieve that goal of getting people to scratch more, they now have the bonus scratch. You obviously would have a hard time collecting everything in current scratches. So now its under a set number of scratches instead of a bingo card.

Ah, Xaeris beat me to it.

[Misaki Ki]

Bumped post on the AC scratch card when it was removed. (http://bumped.org/psublog/pso2-waiting-until-the-next-test-complete-gacha/)

[Moffen]

Yes since Iplan on making a Laia clone LUUUL

[Ryuhou]

Are you going to Bonus Scratch for the Beast Face?
Pls no furry. Nty.

[Angry_Ryudo]

I'm not really sure. It'd be great for my character roleplay-wise (it's a half beast), but I think the beast face will not be as customizable as the current ones: the video showed the PSU-style customization, so I'm not sure.

Yes, there's also the money problem! :P

[Flaoc]

hell no.

[[Ayumi]]

Are there images of it? How does it even look?
NPC Beast or PC Beast?
Laia/Liina/Tylor/Leo/Tonnio all had awesome faces.

Created character faces looked god awful like a rabbit who lost in a fist fight with a swollen face/lip.

[TenebriS]

Also to answer thread question, I do scratch anyway so I will get it.

[Vintasticvin]

Ima do it... And the tears and salt will be delicious..

[Zorak000]

in order to become a beast you must become a whale

[Tymek]

in order to become a beast you must become a whale

Is that some kind of furry mantra?

[Vintasticvin]

I think thats meme speak for trying to say you need to spend lots of money

[Anduril]

"Whale" isn't meme speak, it's more marketing speak. The term "whale" has its origins in gambling as someone who would drop large wagers (ie. a high-roller), but was later associated with f2p games along with the terms "dolphins/trout" and "minnows" to define the kinds of players the game publishers want to reel in; minnows tend to spend a dollar here and there, dolphins/trout regularly spend a bit more (for f2p MMOs, this usually means they spend what amounts to a typical subscription cost in a traditional MMO), while whales tend to drop large amounts of money regularly.

But THIS? I had no idea that was the case! Interesting! Thanks!

No thank you.
If this is just a hint they would never bring back Beast class, so be it. I liked their power but hated their faces (minus the NPCs)

[Tymek]

welp rip lol

wtf...people actually spend 50$ for this crap ? :???:

[Hysteria1987]

Not getting it.

Wouldn't mind having it, but it'd be the sort of thing I use once for half an hour as a joke and then never look at again. I only played PSU for like half an hour anyway (the Xbox demo), so I don't feel I'd be missing anything like I would with the PSO outfits.

[[Ayumi]]

If they give us Nanoblast costumes I might be okay with having an unshaved crotch to run around in.

Would make sense too to even use weapons with it as I've had PSU glitch out many times while tryign to switch pallets which usually lead to Nanoblast sometimes using my equipped weapons instead of mauling the enemy to death.

EDIT: But I won't damn well pay $50 for it.

[uhawww]

So I'm posting here for the first time in literally years to say, OF COURSE they'd gate this sort of customization behind AC bonuses, and OF COURSE I'd buy directly into it... Beast mode is in my blood.

Is this sarcasm, or are you actually happy? If you're happy; why?
