The Beta has far too many Casts and Newmans it seems. Go into a room and there will be 36,000 Casts standing next to each other.

lol I'm a cast in the beta too...I hardly see any beasts, I also thought that would be more popular.
I'm cast now because I like ranger-types, but may switch it up in the final version.

Does it really matter though? I mean, it's not like CASTs are restricted to HU and RA now, aswell, people will play what they'd like to. Maybe the shape and forms of CASTs appeal more than the other races? Besides, CASTs aren't such a bad thing to have around, yeah?

Casts make great rangers and hunters... I'm Definetly going to favor casts because they look coolest too.

I thought humans were but well see when it comes. Now i dont want to see 10000 midgets running around. That will drive me crazy.

I made a Beast first. But then I didn't like the play style of Hunters in this game. In PSO they were my favorite class. Thats when I made a Cast. I liked the whole support aspect of being a Ranger. I'll probably make my main a Cast and other character a Newman.

Its the beta man.

In the real release about 50%+ of those people won't be there because they don't want to pay fees or decide not to buy it or whatever.

I figured. People play cast because of stats + looks. I personally would play beast if all the ears didn't look so faggy. But they do. So cast for this guy (when the game comes out you fucking lucky fucks.)

Yeah casts are awsome because im a cast fan myself but... why go against the beast. thier ata is fine they never miss that much.thier nanoblast is awsome.im going to be a beast hunter maybe or a cast hunter im still not sure. but honestly beasts do make better hunters. they end up being the best. cast is good for fortegunner or figunner.
but if u wanna totally own as a hunter be a beast.

anyway I can only assume,since the beasts are a new class that people dont want to jump into something they havent tried just yet,and besides..I may consider going beast,but I am a human hunter,simply because I wanted to see what the additions to the old races where.Some people on the other hand,just like to hang in the back and shoot from afar...which is fine with me...
Shoot your guns Rangers,once that monster is dead,who do you think is closer to the rares? ^_^

I'm assuming that almost every game will have the ditribution option for rares. So that argument isn't very strong. I know if I make a game, I'm going to put that option on, regardless of what class I'm playing.

As far as I know,from playing the 360 BETA,the options for Normal Items as well as Rare Items are as follows..In order, Random, or Finders keepers.Both and be set individualy so you can still rush for that monomate if you want the old PSO feel...

I guess I didn't explain myself throughly. Sorry about. I was assuming that Inorder or Random would be used more often than the PSO style. Simply because Rangers and Forces will be screwed over most of the time if the "finders keepers" option is used.

I planned on makin' a human, but casts do appeal to me. I've heard alot about how cool casts look, so I'm still considering it over a human. Still not sure...

casts seam to have best stats overall much more versitle than humans r marketed as i bet well see a nerf

My first will be a cast, but i'll probably lvl all 3 of them up at equivalent times. No human for me, unless I get bored and decide to make a protranser human. But it's cool, I think it's just that everyone was worried about casts and SUVs, that's all http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_smile.gif

casts make great hunters and rangers but horrible forces. humans make good hunters good rangers and good forces. so id say humans are more versatile.

I don't know about the 'fad' as it were, but I was intent on playing a Cast since PSO, but I ran out of slots on my memory card =|. I was a bit worried when I heard that Casts could use magic now, but since I'm not planning on playing anything remotely close to a Force-type, I get to play the cast I always wanted to! =P

Well, I don't know how it is in the retail version now, but in the 360 beta about 95% of the parties I see at the counters are finder's keepers for both normal and rare. Very annoying.
I prefer to lead anyway unless my luck stinks that day and I always set to "in order".
And I don't join ongoing missions anyway. Mission points are low enough as is.

i dont like finders keepers that much cuz its a lil unfair cuz if ur fighting but ur trying to hit the enemy but they just kill it before u even get a chance to hit it u dont get the item http://www.pso-world.com/images/phpbb/icons/smiles/icon_frown.gif
