There's all the weapon classes in the game. Speculate away.

Hey Parn, are there any rare weapons in the game like their were in PSO? or do the weapons just get crazy high levels?

The only weapons I've seen so far can only be obtained from the item shops. I doubt we'll see any rare weapons in the closed beta.

I was wondering the same idea as Vox, but I also have another question.....what about the gaps....

Sorry about that. Wasn't paying attention while I was using paint.

Ok here's that weapon list and what i think things are going to be.

Here's a rare I found earlier. Can we get a translation on it?

That message seems to come up whenever you receive an item with a certain rarity value.

It's an item for your PM to use for item synthesis. It translates as Board/Cosmo Atomizer.

From left to right, top to bottom I would say:-

sword, ?, spear, double saber
slicer, twin sabers, twin daggers, twin claws
saber, dagger, claw
rifle, shot, bow, whip
grenade launcher(?), twin handguns
handgun, wand?, photon reflector, photon eraser
staff(?), cane(?)

I don't see a partisan though :/

Partisans and spears look pretty much like they'll be the same thing. Have u seen Parn's video linear_line? the girl uses a spear, and it,s nothing far from a partisan

change the grenade launcher to cannon and the photon eraser to mechguns

the files do list a grenade weapon being in the game.

I think the gun below the Rifle is a Lazer.
These a picture on the offical site in System -> Action (between the Double Saber and Spears).

This screenshot is from the official site, and there are two pages. Anyone come across this who can tell me what that means?

Translating the Kanji would take some more time, but I guess it's quite obvious it means attack power, defence, etc.

By looking at that screenshot you just posted butzopower, it looks like the character is a ranger (since they have access to rifles, launchers, and the twin handguns)
But whats this... Spears eh!?

So maybe once you level up a certain class you'll open up more weapon options for them?
Or a spears just generally usable by rangers aswell?

*EDIT*

Hang on, I just realised that the ranger class is at level 1. So thats the class changing screen eh? and the weapons I'm guessing are showing what skill you have at that level in each of those weapons?
Hmmm Rangers can use spears then!?

I'd like to see the hunter setting.

mechatra
Apr 23, 2006, 02:43 PM
More so I'd really like to see the force setting since rangers can use spears, I wonder if forces are just limited to the base weapons and staffs?

butzopower
Apr 23, 2006, 03:08 PM
Er, yea, I knew what that meant, but thanks.

What I meant to point out is that there are two pages in the weapons, but all the screenshots people have posted show just one page. Has anyone come across the "type counter" with 2 pages for weapons, or is that not in the beta?

EDIT:

The original picture posted by Parn shows the Hunter weapons, probably at level 1.

The second page is probably another class the character lvld. Think about it, that's all the weapons on the first page, everything is sorted out. Close range weapons first, guns, then wands. What I'm wondering is what is the weapon next to the hadngun... doesn't it look like a crossbow? And also, the symbol for mechgun is only one box (notice that the 2handed weapons take up 2 boxes) and there isnt a symbol with 2 mechguns :/

anyone else notice the huge HP loss when switching from hunter to ranger? I think that the ATP (?) loses about 11 points and ATA (?) goes from 18 to 40 O_o

I take it it's because Mechguns are always a pair of guns. Just like in PSO after all.

Eclypse
Apr 23, 2006, 03:45 PM
I've been waiting so long ot use double pistols on a PS game. It sucked that you could only use dual mech on PSO so this is a welcome addition in my opinion.

Inazuma
Apr 23, 2006, 03:45 PM
having the mechgun take up 1 hand per gun sounds rite. it would only take both hands if you were gonna use 2 of em.

Somah
Apr 23, 2006, 03:46 PM
If it was a pair of guns it would take up 2 boxes instead of 1 wouldn't it?

SSNX
Apr 23, 2006, 03:47 PM
A Mechgun was pictured on the official site a while ago (equiped with a Saber).

mechatra
Apr 23, 2006, 03:48 PM
By the way Ennie. In PSU the mechgun is used as a single handed weapon. There's a screen of Ethan using a mech in one hand and a saber in the other.

No sign of double mechs though?
Thinking about it... Don't you think mechs will eat through PP like crazy? considering there's no combo for guns now, and they're most probably gonna be rapid fire. Ammo is probably gonna be quite a regulator in their power.

Somah
Apr 23, 2006, 03:50 PM
meh... I'm just glad rangers can use spears... I might decide to go ranger now instead of hunter. But then again the pictures show that hunters have B with spears at lvl 1 while rangers have C.

butzopower
Apr 23, 2006, 03:53 PM
Why not go both, since you can do that in PSU.

Somah
Apr 23, 2006, 03:59 PM

Apr 23, 2006, 04:01 PM
ill have a ranger cast who will mostly be a sniper http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_wink.gif but will also use swords when he is dual weilding or out of ammo (PP)

mechatra
Apr 23, 2006, 04:02 PM
I'm going for a hunter Numan (male! You never see male numans!)
I want to focus on spears and maybe daggers or double sabers. ^_^

Somah
Apr 23, 2006, 04:07 PM
In the battle of video, the spear photon arts look so cool x.x
I'm still not sure if I'll make a human or newman, and I'm still not sure if I should go with guns or spears -_- Oh well I have a lot of time to decide :/

mechatra
Apr 23, 2006, 04:10 PM
Somah! those photon arts are on of the main reasons I'm so focused on using spears aswell ^_^

Though at first I was alittle dissapointed when I saw their normal combo. It seems as they wont be too great for crowd control without photon arts, but now I've gotten used to it, it seems they'll be great for holding enemies back.

ShadowDragon28

I got my fingers crossed that it somehow possible to Item Sync a Sword that has a black model-body *crosses fingers*;
and then give it Element Dark (the purplish glow) since I'd be going for the dark warrior/Vampire Hunter D-like look/style for my main character.

Played for two years offline with a Whitehill newman Hunter and finally got a Sealed J for my main character, it took me so many dang beach runs, and such a long dang time to get it from a Gi Gue in the darn beach area on Ult... *sigh*

I do like the dark element claws I've seen in the "Battle" video... I want those little beauties. I wonder if it will be possible to give each weapon it's own element?

Like Ice for a pair of Fists, or dual claws, or Dark on a Sword,etc... I cetainly hope that is possible.

It seems very strange that we wouldn't be able to have 2 rapid fire mechs at the same time.

what's ST up to?

Skye-Fox713
Apr 26, 2006, 11:27 PM
the dual weild hand guns should be interesting

_Tek_
Apr 27, 2006, 12:26 AM
Perhaps its simply not implemented yet in the beta. Maybe there will be dual mech guns, but for RA mode only?

I await the next screenshot updates, since dual guns and mechs are now avalable

Hopefully not... But perhaps they won't be too overpowered with the addition of PP...

REJ-
Apr 27, 2006, 12:52 AM
One mech is enough. I'm gonna have a Newm Ranger/Force hybrid, mech in one hand and staff in the other. Do you think something like that would work?

Lux
Apr 27, 2006, 10:23 AM
I'm actually more concerned that guns will be to weak, as Jonathan_F's video showed me he ran out of ammunition fast, I mean it! Hope that gets changed with the beta..

Well if they put a Spread Needle in the game... It better have low PP! I really don't wanna see a repeat of PSO where every other Ranger has a spread needle... That weapon requires NO skill

mechatra
Apr 27, 2006, 12:30 PM
Lets not forget lux. In Jon's video he started with 20 something PP out of the rifles total 700 something PP.

Any word on Traps? Can everyone use 'em?

I think it'd probably be tter if traps were RA only. And they don't count as a weapon I guess though, just an item.

And that big crossbow looking things that's just being called a bow. Is it going to be similar to a Spread?

mechatra
Apr 27, 2006, 01:20 PM
Apparently the bow was classed as a FO weapon, so that's alittle confusing. But there are shotguns already so I don't think there'd be any need for another spread weapon. I reckon the bows going to be the staple FO ranged weapon or something...

hmmm...

Eclypse
Apr 27, 2006, 03:23 PM
I really want to see the bow in action and that sucks if it is in fact a staple FO weapon because I plan on running as a Newman HU/FO mainly.

TheStoicOne
Apr 27, 2006, 03:29 PM
Wait! How would that work? I thought Fo weapons had to be able to contain/bind spells. How could you cast a spell with a bow?

Kano-Okami
Apr 27, 2006, 04:08 PM
I was thinking about that too.
I thought it'd just have an elemental photon art, like flaming/holy/ice arrows.
(and yeah, I've played too much LOZ, @_@)

According to some translations from Espio... traps do exist...and in much greater numbers O_O refer to this thread to see his translations on them http://www.pso-world.com/viewtopic.php?mode=viewtopic&topic=111077&forum=20&start=195

As for who can use them... I have no idea... o-o
Hopefully everyone, seeing as androids already have the suv special as well as the ability to be FOs...
