You would need to give me a 14★ weapon just to play these quests again.

Mar 7, 2018, 01:37 AM
Well, at least the enemies will be more durable ... will see how it felt now tho.

And ... getting ☆14as drops is just a myth (especially if you only want 1 specific type of weapon) ;w;

I kinda wish they gave more for this revival.

I don't expect the rates on Demonia to be good since those + EPO are the only 14*s whos rates didn't get buffed + Japanese weapons are meh for me.

I didn't do RQ when they were "relevant", but tried it once or twice later on solo. Is there any difference compared to Free Field Vegas outside of having that big UFO event and the time constraint?

You have to get a high score for higher RDR, meaning that soling tends to get awful results.

That and Riding Quests and Constant Etrials one after another.

Mar 7, 2018, 11:21 AM
Aside from the campaign clears, I doubt many will bother to farm this. Considering this is one of the less liked quests, having only demonia dropping seems like a bad deal. The 300% extra HP doesnt make it any attractive either. This is the first time I feel that SEGA overestimated how much people will chase the carrot. That is unless the drop rate for these is high enough(read: as high as 13* from dragon) but that doesnt seem likely :p

Silent_Flower
Mar 7, 2018, 11:25 AM
I will run it a few times as I have never done it with a big group before, so it would be a nice change of pace. However, if the rates are not good, I would probably stop when I get bored of it.

However, if the rates are not good, I would probably stop when I get bored of it.Well, I made around ten runs after all and... nothing more than a few 10☆. Maybe that's because RNGsus, maybe that's because we never made those RQ with more than 6/12 people (and we've waited for a long time at the teleporter before reaching that).

AFAIK 14☆ Lavis Cannon is the best Wand for Te/Br because waves scales with T-ATK but 13☆ Form Scythe is the best one for Te/Hu since waves scales with S-ATK.

Lavis Cannon's wave is a Striking attack that scales from S-ATK while Form Scythe's waves are Ranged attacks that scale from S-ATK.

Am I right in thinking Gilde Girola is the only 14* currently that only drops on one boss (dragon, and rematch)?

Would have been nice to see it in this riding quest or as a zeig shop wep. :(

Silent_Flower
Mar 7, 2018, 02:39 PM
Well, I kind of lied because I already ran 2 runs, but then I was off to work. Both runs yield a 13* with full MPa. Score around 700-900k.

First was autumn tmg -.-. Second was Yasik 9000F, which I would be satisfied if I didn't already have higher slot modulator weapons.

Translators know that it's supposed to be Stragio, but they wanted it to be Strategio in order to play off "Tactio" better. YMMV, though.

if the guys that do the english patch picked that (wrong) translation, i guess it's hard to fault bumped too much since it would lead to a lot of confusion if what they reported was different from the names that the patch uses. that being said, it's still dumb.

Bumped and the translators are closely linked, so I dont think it's entirely accurate to say that the guys behind Bumped had no hand in changing the name. Also, translations aren't always 100% accurate, they are sometimes edited for cultural or lingual purposes, hence the changing of "Stragio" to "Strategio". It's what's commonly known as a Woolseyism.

Electrochemist
Mar 7, 2018, 07:36 PM
Strategio makes much more sense anyway since they are chess pieces and chess is beyond all else a strategy game.

Yep, it's the same reason that they changed all references of Yusis from PSII, Kein from PSIII, and Fal from PSIV to Rolf, Rhys, and Rika since those were the names that were used in the English localization, both in the original games and in the first PSO, specifically Rika's Claw. They are technically completely wrong translations, but they are more culturally appropriate due to their previous history.

Electrochemist
Mar 7, 2018, 07:51 PM
This goes way back aswell, name alterations were commonly used years ago to fit culturally and sometimes, literally to just fit.
Dark Falz was supposed to be Dark Force but they changed it because it didn't fit.

I managed to get about 10 runs and it was fun, but the loot sucks. I managed to get Autumn TMG, WL, Form Rod and Yamsik 9000F, but the lack of "pity" loots doesn't make a great use of time. I hope I can see how common Demonia is from RQ soon or I prob leave it after a few more runs.

they used to be useless back when we didn't have good % potentials for every SSA slot, but now, for any class that don't need specific S4 or Killing Shot sustain, they really are solid weapons to consider because they are basically mini-Atras without the S4, and pretty cheap to make too. Not to mention that unless they release another S1/2/3 series similar to Val (which judging from seasonal and current trend, won't happen for a good while) they will pretty much stay a solid choice for sub weapons that are not covered by Neme/Slave/Atra as Moffen said

But there is no CF or stone exchange to get the one that you want. You have to rely on drops for them, and if you really want to use them for their SAF, you have to find at least two of the same one.

If the TMGs are actually useful as a Hr battery, why not just use the Val TMG as a battery instead? As "easy" as Autumn TMGs are to put together, Val TMGs are still way easier and has just as many S-rank slots (I am assuming this is what makes it a good battery).

I admit that I am somewhat interested in the potential. Under the right circumstances ("sunny" weather), the total damage multiplier can be pushed pretty far. But are they really worth the effort to farm?

Edit: Also settling for Stat V SAF when Stat VI exists LUL.

I'd say no, but they really have good drop rates, and tend to fall on your lap for running whatever flavour-of-the-maint content. And if you happen to get two of a weapon you want to make then it's all cool

Riding Quest has 6 variants, Area A,B,C with day and night variants. Each has their own data table. Each variant only last 24 hours before it changes, so the information for Night Ride: District B is all the drops on Thursday, March 8th, when the last time it was active. Since it drops 18 Sword, 14 TMG and 6 Talis, multiple by 7 and we get a rough guess how many would have dropped during the week, which I put at 140 each.

Sure, that's an improvement, yet the during EQ boosts (Mother in particular) each of the non-Hr 14*s dropped three times more than any of these. They're still awful rates considering how many people just spammed RQ at their leisure all day.

RQ wasn't popular at all though, around 3-4 parties during JP peak hours a lot of the time, which doesn't even begin to compare to how populated boosted UQ or LQs were when they were introduced

Geistritter
Mar 14, 2018, 06:10 AM
People get burned out running the same thing constantly, and most people stop doing a Limited LQ after the first day or two, or at least significantly reduce their frequency. People are likely to do the scheduled EQs whenever they come up if they're available, though, because it's not something they can do otherwise.

Heck, I've wanted a Demonia for awhile, but even I didn't give a shit anymore after the first day, on which I only did like, ten runs. But then, I figured I'd rather do something else than hope for a small chance I likely won't hit; I'm resigned to the knowledge that anything I'm shooting for outside of the Collection Sheet just isn't going to happen.

Was really wishing it was going to be the other 8 man LQ ( buster style one) they have been switching in and out of with the Forest LQ. Or why not a UQ boost week. Anything other than this tedious boring riding quest. I agree , would have to give me a 14* to grind that crap. I even tried grinding it for experience with a 100% tri 75% 50% daily 40% party premium etc all boosts for exp and still 500k on bad runs 1mil max exp on good runs.

I just love how segblah slow down the 14* aquisition by artificialy delaying prize distribution at later date. Technically if they weren't, I would have my katana (may 16th, MAY 16th we have to wait fuck dammit!) and I wouldn't be surprized to get it to drop not long after I get Zieg's one...

Is it known if Weila Bode or Hang Bode drops in this? I know I will only do it if Hang Bode drops as I still have yet to get one of those.

Given we've gotten constant rotating boosts (likely an attempt by SEGA to enforce playing outdated content and keep players interested between content updates), having an RQ boost is a nice time to slow down and take a breather between Forest boost and Easter update.

I really wouldn't mind a BQ Boost. MM with MM Boost are great way to level up and way more fun than RQ.

RQ sucks though, they need a week of boosted BQ/BEQ, that'd be a lot better and i can level alts or farm Demonia more efficiently over a forced 11min RNG score fuck my drop rate Quest

The problem with RQ is that you need a large group to get a good score, and since it's spammable like Free Fields, you will not find those groups easily because people do not "coordinate" to join at the same time for a group run.

At this point it would be more beneficial to go the long mile and actually convert RQs to Emergency Quests, just like Dengeki Polyland was.

A serious revamp in the Drop table would also be necessary because even with High scores you can call yourself lucky to get a 10* at all.

adding a change would be guarantied a certain number of phantasmal karaseo stones and maybe ether and quilhad fuses

and also spawn Esca-darkers and angels , even deus hunar too

Lol, you didn't realize that it's for that specific area (A, B or C) for that specific time of day (day or night), so you actually see the drops of 6 days ago, the quests that went on since boost week started still don't have their drop record updated because you'll need to check in the proper quest area and day/night cycle to actually see the proper drop rate of that boost week. Today is Area A Daytime, to see the drops of the boost week, come back in 6 days when that quest gets back to see how the boost affected it

What an idiotic way of separating Drop tables.

Actually, it is consistent since 1 table for each quest. If you want all the riding quests contribute to the same table, you need some extra coding and we all know how good Sega is with making bug free code.

If the drop rates is the same as last campaign, I would not be shock to see 4-10 Demonia on the table, which is just terrible.

Maybe instead of EQ, they could make it one of the Daily Featured once per week or whatever. I mean, it's not like we do the Free Fields and ARKS Quest because we enjoy them as content or because we like to farm them for exp/drops. We do them because they are the daily cycle of quests that have a chance of giving a great reward (key for SG or for exp).

Time Attacks are played for meseta
Extreme Quests are played for meseta
Advance Quests... are they played nowadays? I know that they used to be good for exp farming before the days of Tokyo keys and before the 4th daily FQ, I don't know if they are still a "viable" source of exp.
Battle Arena is played for SG and to build up frustration.
Buster Quest was played when we were farming Schvaele and for Dark Blast exp farming, maybe it needs to become Featured too somedays. Sega didn't rejuvenate interest in them despite the change with Buster Medals dropping in normal mode too.

have a daily quest rotation for 14* drops to farm with 100% RDR/EXP on them? thats beyond sega, you farm when they say so!

have a daily quest rotation for 14* drops to farm with 100% RDR/EXP on them? thats beyond sega, you farm when they say so!That's not what I had in mind. Original RQs dropped up to 13*s, which is the same as current 4th daily LQs.

I firmly believe that end-game gear should only be available only from either end-game content (episode specific EQs, maybe some weekly boosted quest with enemies scaled to end-game atk/hp values), extensive farming of the rest of the content (like with current Conquest Crests), or from Ultimate Quests with enemies scaled to the point where each run requires at least 30mins even for expert groups.

If end-game equipment was farmable at the rate the playerbase wanted, servers would be void of any non-RPers 1 week after each content update. There has to be a carrot on a stick for them to entice us to login.

I would have rather had forest for another week. I still need the arm unit in my collection, and i had nothing else to do on pso2 besides DOs and phashion all week.

I fucking hate the music, the location, the enemies. There is no way in hell I am going back to tokyo or vegas. They're way too out of place. At least in ep5 we're killing actual monsters. Hopefuly it will end soon and we will go back to sci fi though.

of course it is, EP 4 it self could work as their own game , is clear sega wanted to try something with the vibe of shin megami tensei , persona etc fine by me

from my point of view EP4 was a pirated version of those series (also you guys know already my opinion about the artistic direction the EP took)
