Is it possible for ST to change meseta drops to be evenly di

[Phaze37]

Is it possible for Sonic Team to patch PSU to add a function for the team leader to have meseta distributed evenly amongst the party?

I'm not asking if they will do this, since obviously noone knows. But, is it possible for them to do that with a patch? Rangers seem to get screwed for meseta since they are at a distance all the time, yet from what I've heard they need the meseta more than Hunters to fill up the PP on their weapons. Is that something that could be patched server-side or would it require a client-side patch that would be too big for the PS2 memory card? I'm dumb when it comes to technology, but I know that client-side patches are limited by the size of the PS2 memory card. If it is possible we should let Sonic Team know that it's a good idea.

Meseta can be set to random distrobution already

random sems kinda dumb i like round robin

[Ryna]

I imagine that something like this could be implemented server-side. Still, I can see where this feature would be tricky to implement if you want to make sure the meseta is distributed evenly among everyone.

Is that already factored into the non-rare item distribution or what? I always hear these claims that meseta isn't evenly distributed and never bothered to check myself.

[Ether]

I think its actually under the rare-distrobution, not entirely sure though

[watashiwa]

Meseta isn't distributed evenly at all. =P Whomever picks it up gets it..

[Kyuu]

You importers need to get your stories straight. =P

I've heard that meseta is under rare-item distribution, non-rare distribution, and that meseta is always finders-keepers. All from people who play the game. ~_~

Come to an agreement NOW.

[watashiwa]

I'm going to agree that it's not evenly distributed.

BZZZZT! It CAN and IS randomly distributed when the option is set. I never pick up ANYTHING yet I gain meseta on missions and not just from rewards.

Excellent. Now this rumor can officially die, thanks to video proof.

u sure it wasnt photoshopped??? http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_lol.gif

Yeah, I probably had a fairly big hand in starting the rumour that it isn't randomly distributed, sorry http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif

Thing is, I tested through an entire block of Relics and every meseta drop went to the person that picked it up. Which is the joy of random distribution, I guess. Random Ordered probably wouldn't be like that.

I was with you when we tested before too, and it wasn't random or evenly distributed.. BUT WHATEVER.. okay.. it's even!

Maybe it was changed in a recent patch without anyone knowing? Not that I'm complaining!

[Polly]

I don't think it's been in any patch at all. It's the way random distribution has always worked for me. I've played since day one with friends and a number of Japanese players (who usually have everything set to random) and I've always ended up with meseta.

[Phaze37]

So meseta can be randomly distributed already. That's great. Using a ranger is much more apealing now. But, is it the default option? I just hope that most team leaders actually use that option, I know I will.
