ok, this may seem trivial to some, but i never really noticed it. I'm very used to the pso weak hard special thing. Isn't it in psu anymore?

from what i gather i only see people do normal shots, or strikes with weapons for that matter. I guess PA's replace them? and elemental weaknesses?

There are no "hard attacks."

Well that never really made sense on PSO.... And really for the Ranges... How do you make a Gun shoot harder?

acctully the real question for rangers is how can you get buff and stronger and you shoot more damage.... makes no sense at all

well, it wasn't exactly like you were shooting bullets in PSO. Perhaps it was more of a Chi-like thing... wait, why am I even discussing this.

My Ranger was a wuss sometimes. End up running out of ammo and throwing the gun at the enemy while running away...

Anyways, yes, Cry0. Essentially Photon Arts take the place of any hard/special attacks PSO had. Of course PSU overall has a better, slightly different(ie: way better) feel than PSO. Honestly, you won't even miss them in the heat of combat as you'll be too busy smacking down enemies, switching weapons, circle strafing an enemy, etc.

Hmmmh, I hadn't noticed it to be honest:D it'll be adapting, that's for sure...
But sry, did I hear ending up on ammo, will it be like that on PSU http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_eek.gif you have limited ammo?!

they concentrate harder, aim better-> headshot http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif

that's how i always saw it, anyway.

that brings up another question, do like (except on enemies with multiple targettable targets (like bosses)) headshots count for more? (camping time http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_razz.gif)

Just bosses.

well for blades, Photon Arts Skills are the new 'hard attacks' because they usually do more hits/damage than normal attacks.


and while ranger bullets have no 'hard attacks', the special attack factor from the past is incorporated with the status/elemental effects bullets can cause to a greater degree it seems.
