PSOBB: US/EU BB update

Looks like US/EU BB is getting the same treatment as JP BB- better Ep4 droprates, reduced tech resistances/enemy balancing etc.

That link contains all the details, straight from Clumsyorchid.

I think I speak for everyone when I say, "Yay!"

It sounds like we'll finally be getting Dangerous Deal with Black Paper. Is there any word on Respective Tomorrow, though? I'm getting rather sick of leveling up with just TTF, and I would like to mix things up.

I personally can't wait for the update- I've only ever found 3 Ep4 rares, only one of which was useful when I found it (Snake Spire), the other two aren't that great (Lieutenant Gear and P.Crystal)

Having said that, if it is ddwbp, I can finally use it. I just don't know what I'd do if I got something really rare from it.

I'm actually more interested in the lowered Ep4 droprates http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif

I was a little confused at first by the wording of it. I had originally thought today's maintenence would contain the update, but alas, upon closer inspection it said "sometime later this week".

Still very much looking forward to it, though. I didn't realize there were more Episode IV quests though: Extreme Warfare (Episode 4's Endless Nightmare) and a new Mop-Up are in the works too.

Seems Clumsy didn't specify precisely what would be added. I'm really hoping one of them is Respective Tomorrow, though.

A lot of confusion went on the boards, people thought it meant we were getting a drop chart revamp like JPBB did, Clumsy confirmed it's only better drop rates for EPIV (and lower tech resists). It's much better IMO, I'm not sure I like the new JPBB drop chart >_< If anyone is curious about it, it can be found there :

Clumsy said, if we were gonna get a drop chart revamp, we would get an announcement about it first.
